• W1571498851 abstract "De-Imperializing Cultural Studies: Studies in as Method: Toward Deimperialization by Kuan-Hsing Chen. Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2010. 321 pp. $89.95 hardcover, $24.95 paperback.Edward Said's claim that Oriental grew out of eighteenth and nineteenth century European imperialism is a controversial but well-known argument. His thesis is resonant in context of Asian studies in United States, which developed in part as a postwar initiative to better understand perceived outside threats emerging during Cold War. It is no surprise that critics have characterized Asian studies, and area studies in general, as agents of state and conduits for neoimperialism. Kuan-Hsing Chen's as Method: Toward Deimperialization responds to this critique in unexpected way. Far from being a helpless neoimperialist enterprise, Chen presents Asian studies as key to radical social progress, if only Asian studies be moved to Asia, to speak. Studies in (2), together with cultural studies as a whole, could be driving force for a global de-imperialization movement.Asia as Method provocatively challenges assumptions and practices in postcolonial studies, cultural studies, globalization studies, and Asian studies. Whether through a type of unquestioning fixation or obsessive critique, these fields have been guilty of focusing too much on the West, leading to a politics of resentment (2) that perpetuate existing power structures. Chen's toward as a gesture to multiply objects of identification and to construct alternative frames of reference is compelling. The question that this approach raises is whether his Asia-based paradigm and its geopolitical assumptions truly transcend West and Rest binary that he effectively criticizes.Chen believes that studies in can deconstruct and disarticulate colonialist and imperialist cultural imaginaries that are still actively shaping our present reality. The turn to (2) is quite literal for Chen when applied to field of Asian studies. He argues that field has primarily been shaped outside of Asia, mainly in United States and Europe, and that first step toward recuperating it would be to extract it from West. The reorientation of Asian studies to Asia, in which becomes an imaginary anchoring point that can allow societies in to become one another's reference points, would help detach Asia as method from imperialist imperatives that historically have shaped it so that understanding of self can be transformed, and subjectivity rebuilt (xv).Chen highlights current state of decolonization in by analyzing discourses of Southeast in 1990s' Taiwan. Specifically, chapter 1 examines a 1994 special issue of daily literary supplement in Times to show how natural, scientific, historical, and literary resources provided theoretical and validation for Taiwan's policy of advance: state-led aggressive capital expansion into Southeast Asia. Since Taiwanese capital was already in Southeast long before 1994, Chen argues that policy was ideological maneuvering, result of political anxiety brought about by stronger economic ties with China (19). Taiwan's policy of southward advance reflects surge of Taiwanese nativism, which itself was a reproduction of imperialist cultural imaginary constructed during colonial era, and subimperial desire, a lower-level empire's desire to resemble higher-level empire on which it is dependent (18). Chen believes that case of Taiwan falls into the postcolonial trajectory (63) in Third World, a pattern in which decolonization is followed by recolonization or neocolonization. This pattern repeatedly reproduces itself, according to Chen, because of a dearth of critical reflection on decolonization.Chapter 2 follows emergence of psychoanalytic articulations of decolonization by examining writings of Franz Fanon, Albert Memmi, and Ashis Nandy. …" @default.
