CULTURE / CHINA
Editors: Stephanie Hemelryk Donald and Harriet Evans
Culture / China is a political project which focuses upon controversies of ownership and location The issue engages in diasporic negotiations with China, with Chineseness and with the politics of not being Chinese. These negotiations are understood through their cultural formations: language, the Internet, television, food, painting, fashion and film.
Culture / China also questions the supposed multiculturalism of many societies, where, notwithstanding their rhetorics of inclusiveness, dominant cultures arrest the development of their constituent others. Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the USA and the UK (and China itself) are some of the examples examined here.
