Conjuring Commensurability and Particularity
China in the World
Confucius Institutes, the language and culture programs funded by the Chinese government, have been established in over 1,500 schools worldwide since their debut in 2004. A centerpiece of China’s soft power policy, they represent an effort to smooth China’s path to superpower status by enhancing its global appeal. Yet Confucius Institutes have given rise to voluble and contentious public debate in host countries, where they have been both welcome…

Better City, Better Life? Urban Modernity at the Shanghai Expo
This paper examines exhibits at the Shanghai Expo and the urban improvement schemes undertaken for the Shanghai Expo for what they reveal about the ideals for and experiences of urban modernity in contemporary China. Rather than focus on the experiences and perceptions of a global audience, this paper examines how the Expo sought to speak to a domestic audience about state legitimacy through its messaging about urban citizenship and urban moderni…
The Biopolitics of Gratitude and Equivalence
This article analyzes the 2010 Shanghai Expo's narrative surrounding the 2008 Sichuan earthquake to examine how disaster politics illuminate the politics of citizenship. It focuses on how the Chinese state attempted to establish sovereignty through offering an “exchange” in which the citizen-subjects of biopolitics were constructed as owing a particular debt to the state for the sovereignty project to succeed. Through exploring the “biopolitics o…

Back to the future
Mega-events such as the Olympics and international expositions have long been understood as staging platforms upon which host countries offer displays of nation-state splendor. This article examines representations at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, a largely state- and corporate-funded mega-event, to consider contemporary China’s particular narrative of the nation as it emerges as a global power in the 21st century. Through an analysis of Expo fil…
The Darfur Olympics
The Olympic games have long served as a platform for political debate and ideological expression, and the 2008 Beijing games were no exception. The United States Olympic team selection of “Lost Boy of Sudan” and Team Darfur spokesperson Lopez Lomong as its flag bearer made this eminently visible. This article explores the links between the Olympics and global citizenship through examining how the 2008 Beijing games became an international platfor…
Ambiguous States
This article offers an ethnographic examination of representations and perceptions of the Chinese state as manifest through Confucius Institutes in the United States. Confucius Institutes are Chinese language and culture programs that are funded and staffed by the Chinese government. Confucius Institutes are a constituent part of China's soft power policy efforts to communicate to the world that its cultural tradition stresses harmony and that it…
Appropriating Iconicity
This article explores the reappropriation of iconic photographs, examining what happens when the iconic “ T ank M an” image is modified and repurposed to new political ends. It argues that such reappropriations push viewers to read against the grain of ontological security because the ubiquity of the originals motivates the questioning of taken‐for‐granted meaning in new contexts. In this case, the 21st‐century reappropriated T ank M an images sp…
Of Menace and Mimicry
This article examines the Olympic narratives of young, educated urbanites in China to consider the 2008 Beijing Olympics’ role as a “diagnostic event” through which global conflicts and controversies coalesce and national identities are constructed. It illustrates how students and young professionals analyzed the Beijing Olympics to invoke discourses of similarity in the form of Western economic development models and difference in the form of es…
The Struggle for Sustainability in Rural China
Spectacular Productions
This article examines how Chinese intellectuals experienced the 2008 Beijing Olympics, arguing that the games were a key site for the construction and analysis of two forms of spectacle-the commodity spectacle and the collective spectacle. Considering the case studies of Olympic architecture and traditional Chinese products (laozihao), it suggests that "culture," debated and defined within the context of the Olympics, emerged as a mechanism throu…

(Re)collecting Mao
In contemporary China, compulsive collecting has become a method of accumulating both fiscal reward and cultural capital. In this article, I consider how the collecting practices of Mao-badge aficionados provide insight into the debates over value and subjectivity in contemporary, late-socialist China. By viewing Mao badges as fetishes, I accentuate the uneasy tensions between various theories of the fetish and call into question the theoretical …
