Le concept de « sinophonie »
La boucle décisionnelle française est très spécifique et directement liée à notre histoire politico-militaire. Le général de Gaulle a mis en place un dispositif très efficace qui perdure aujourd’hui. Les exemples de Bizerte en 1961 puis de Kolwezi en 1978 ont contribué à construire cette dimension largement reprise par les successeurs du fondateur de la Ve République

Hacia una ética transdisciplinaria de los estudios globales
Este artículo busca intervenir en los límitesdisciplinarias que hasta ahora han impedido el intercambio de ideas significativo entre diferentes formaciones intelectuales en los estudios de «literatura universal», «historia mundial», «arte universal», «música mundial», «cine mundial» y demás, en un conglomerado bajo el nombre de «estudios globales». En un momento en que la interconexión global se hace más y más crucial, además de profunda en nuest…

Racializing Area Studies, Defetishizing China
Area studies was originally set up to provide strategically important information for the US empire, while ethnic studies was an aftermath of the civil rights movement critiques it from within. This alone may explain the hostility between area studies and ethnic studies, but the crucial pivot around which this hostility can be better understood is the question of race. What happens when we racialize area studies—that is, to investigate the racial…
Forum 2
This essay proposes a new method for studying Taiwan, explains what it is and how it works, elaborates on the implications of this method, conceptually as well as practically, and invites discussion and debate. I have been calling this method relational comparison (Shih, 2013, 2015, 2016a, 2016b), which I think can help position Taiwan studies beyond the traditional area studies mode and into multiple interdisciplinary fields (such as American st…
Theory in a Relational World
In the 2014 book Latin American Philosophy from Identity to Radical Exteriority, Alejandro Arturo Vallega claims that the question “Is there Latin American philosophy?” has outlived its rhetorical usefulness, because, by all objective measure and practical purposes, there exists a long and rich tradition of Latin American philosophy. Following Vallega, we may ask whether “Is there Taiwan theory?” has outlived its rhetorical usefulness. On the one…
World Studies and Relational Comparison
A new kind of world studies is emerging. This is a world studies 2.0, since some forms of world studies, such as world literature, world music, and world cinema, have existed for some years in the humanities. These categories have been more narrowly defined and refer to literature, music, and cinema from places other than the West—that is, “the rest,” as seen from the West. In this vein, world literature has sometimes been euphemistically called …
Race and Revolution
It is in the context of race and revolution during china's long twentieth century that we can best understand the many implications of Ferdinand Oyono's Une vie de boy (1956) in China, where it was translated into the standard Sinitic script as (“The Life of a Boy Servant”) in 1984. The cycle that had begun as a national strengthening movement in the 1890s achieved some kind of completion or vindication with the early-twenty-first-century rise of…
Is the Post in Postsocialism the Post in Posthumanism
This essay brings into dialectical consideration the relationship between postsocialism and posthumanism in China through the life story of Marxist humanism from the global 1960s to the present across Eastern Europe, France, and the United States. It especially foregrounds the American counterpart to the irruption of Marxist humanism in Eastern Europe and the humanist controversy in France during the 1950s in the now marginalized work of Raya Dun…
The Creolization of Theory
The Concept of the Sinophone
The spectacular rise of China as a superpower perhaps only now compels us to recalibrate existing discourses of empire and postcoloniality, but China has been an empire in the modern sense since the mid–eighteenth century, when it conquered vast lands north and west of “China proper.” This history has been largely hidden from view because of two unacknowledged obsessions: the fetishization of Western empires over other empires and the prevailing …
Creolization of Theory
Against Diaspora
This chapter offers a broad, programmatic view of the parameters of Sinophone studies, situated at the intersection of postcolonial studies, ethnic studies, transnational studies, and area studies, as the study of Sinitic language cultures and communities on the margins of China and Chineseness. It does not focus explicitly on literature, but lays out the broad contours of Sinophone studies through an analysis and critique of what the author cons…
Theory, Asia and the Sinophone
This article examines the politics of the majoritarian binary, 'The West and the Rest', and more specifically, 'Western Theory, Asian Reality', as a politics of power that serves specific interests ranging from imperialism and nationalism to the suppression of heterogeneity in languages, ethnicities, and cultures. The Sinophone is posited here as a presence, literary and otherwise, that interrupts this majoritarian binary by challenging the chain…
Visuality and IdentitySinophone Articulations across the Pacific
A vanguard excursion into sophisticated cultural criticism situated at the intersections of Chinese studies, Asian American studies, diaspora studies & transnational studies, this text argues that the visual has become the primary means of mediating identities under global capitalism.

Reading between Chinese Modernism and Modernity
The Lure of the Modern

shu-mei shih teaches in the Departments of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Comparative Literature, and Asian American Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she also directs the Center for Comparative and Interdisciplinary Research on Asia and co-directs (with Françoise Lionnet) the University of California Multicampus Research Group on Transnational and Transcolonial Studies.

Lure of the Modern
Shu-mei Shih's study is the first book in English to offer a comprehensive account of Chinese literary modernism from Republican China. In The Lure of the Modern, Shih argues for the contextualization of Chinese modernism in the semicolonial cultural and political formation of the time. Engaging critically with theories of modernism, postcoloniality, and global and local cultural studies, Shih analyzes pivotal issues—such as psychoanalysis, decad…
Gender and a New Geopolitics of Desire
Gender, Race, and Semicolonialism
In 1924 a half-Taiwanese, half-Japanese man travelled from Japan to Shanghai to study French at the Jesuit Université L'Aurore. He was young, flamboyant, and rich, and eventually used his own personal funds to found two bookstores and three journals in Shanghai. Despite his ambiguous national identity and lack of formal Chinese education, he also became the founder of a Chinese modernist literary movement called new sensationism (xinganjue pai), …
