A Sound and Fury Signifying Mediatisation: On The Hong Kong Protests, 2019
This article examines the massive protests and global media event known as the “anti-extradition protests” in Hong Kong during 2019. The protests became the most live-streamed movement ever, and were narrated globally, though not in China, as an exemplary, brave demand for democracy and freedom against the P.R.C.'s intrusions. I argue that the event and movement can also be read as an apt example of mediatisation, or the media direction if not co…
Illiberal China and global convergence: Thinking through Wukan and Hong Kong
This article examines the applicability of convergence thinking via two protests in southern China: the Wukan ‘uprising’ and the ‘Umbrella Revolution’. These failed to usher in ‘democracy’ in an unnamed, ‘Western’ procedural sense. Yet the global media events expose the limits of convergence thinking, both official/PRC and Western/liberal. In so far as convergence is also about hegemony and rivalry, the events also show the fading of the latter, …
Postcolonialism, Globalization, and the ‘Asia Question’
How to make sense of “Asia,” an impossible object of study, and what it means today, in light of the rise of China after the age of opium wars and full-on imperialism. Asia as ASEAN 3 or a China-centered regional and global system. The “case” of the PRC poses a number of challenges to current theory about colonialism and sovereignty and the alleged end of the cold war. It also demonstrates how the not-colonized is deeply impacted by modern imperi…
China and Orientalism: Western knowledge production and the P.R.C.
This book argues that there is a new, Sinological form of orientalism at work in the world. It has shifted from a logic of ‘essential difference’ to one of ‘sameness’ or general equivalence. "China" is now in a halting but inevitable process of becoming-the-same as the USA and the West. Orientalism is now closer to the cultural logic of capitalism, even as it shows the afterlives of colonial discourse. This shift reflects our era of increasing gl…

China in Theory: The Orientalist Production of Knowledge in the Global Economy
China in Theory:The Orientalist Production of Knowledge in the Global Economy Daniel Vukovich (bio) If one wanted to raise again the idea that the superstructure follows the base, then China—or more accurately, Western obsessions with the perceived threats and achievements of the Peoples Republic—would seem to be an ideal case. But the omnipresence of "China" in the media and in economic circles has only recently been matched by its place in acad…
