Despite its undeniable relevance, Chinese-grounded ideas languish at the periphery of scholarly discourse, perpetuating the notion of China as an enigmatic 'Other'. Drawing inspiration from East Asian postcolonial scholarship, this collective volume boldly contends that neglecting China undermines our ability to decipher the complexities of today's global landscape as well as the ordinary lives of people living at the cusp of a new Cold War.
Through the lens of anthropologists hailing from diverse academic backgrounds spanning China, the UK, Europe, and North America, China as context delivers a compelling synthesis of ethnographic richness and theoretical depth. Collectively, this volume unveils China as a powerful agent, a locus of knowledge production, and a new discursive topos of an emerging post-global imaginary foundational to the analysis of the present. Amidst the waning era of Western globalization, this anthology elucidates how understanding 'China' as the ordinary 'context' for research practices worldwide is imperative. As anthropological understandings of ethnography and theory and their relation shift, China as context positions itself at the forefront of a vitally necessary conversation. It questions the role of China in knowledge production and advocates for a renewed holistic approach to the social sciences that transcends geographical boundaries and reengages scholarly inquiry with the context of its production.Noch keine Bewertungen vorhanden
