內容簡介:
【ANU China Seminar Series】
This talk is an overview of an upcoming book. Despite its similarity to the title of an essay published in 1996, the book is for most part a rewriting of essays written in subsequent years in diverse journals. In short, they have been re-framed to present a systematic perspective of 'epistemic moments' in the societal transformations of Hong Kong, Taiwan, PRC, Singapore and Chinese communities 'overseas', all of which deflate the inherent meanings of Chineseness.
About the Speaker

His major articles have appeared in diverse journals, including Toung Pao, Late Imperial China, History and Anthropology, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Journal of Historical Sociology, Current Anthropology, Theory Culture & Society, Cultural Anthropology, boundary 2, Communal/Plural, Postcolonial Studies, Inter-Asia Cultural Studies, Anthropological Theory, Critique of Anthropology, and positions.
