UCSB East Asia Center Presents:
Professor Shu-Mei Shi (~ flyer)
"Theory, Asia, and the Sinophone"
“Theory” and “Asia” may be oxymoronic in terms because Asia has never been considered
the location of theory. Tracing what came to be known as “French theory” as a legacy of
the global 1960s, this lecture examines the constitutive co-fi guration of Europe and Asia
in the 1960s that in turn led to the production of area studies and ethnic studies in the
United States, all the while mediated by Sinophone voices in most unexpected ways.
Shu-mei Shih (Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, with a joint appointment in Asian Languages and Cultures and Asian American Studies) teaches in the areas of modern and contemporary Chinese literature, sinophone literature, Asian American literature, literary theory, feminism, Marxism, and transnational studies.
