In this bold, provocative collection, Wang Hui confronts some of the major issues concerning modern China and the status quo of contemporary Chinese thought. The book's overarching theme is the possibility of an alternative modernity that does not rely on imported conceptions of Chinese history and its legacy. Wang Hui argues that current models, based largely on Western notions of empire and the nation-state, fail to account for the richness and diversity of pre-modern Chinese historical practice. At the same time, he refrains from offering an exclusively Chinese perspective and placing China in an intellectual ghetto. Navigating terrain on regional language and politics, he draws on China's unique past to expose the inadequacies of European-born standards for assessing modern China's evolution. He takes issue particularly with the way in which nation-state logic has dominated politically charged concerns like Chinese language standardization and "The Tibetan Question." His stance is critical--and often controversial--but he locates hope in the kinds of complex, multifaceted arrangements that defined China and much of Asia for centuries. The Politics of Imagining Asia challenges us not only to re-examine our theories of "Asia" but to reconsider what "Europe" means as well. As Theodore Huters writes in his introduction, "Wang Hui's concerns extend beyond China and Asia to an ambition to rethink world history as a whole."

评分汪晖还是很有解殖和反东方主义的视角的,很多论述还是很有说服力的,但是依然非常sino-centric。“西藏问题”那篇就明显是一个“中国”和“西方”的对话。具体的史料是否正确,以及是否存在抄袭的问题,我就真的不清楚了...
评分赞同从亚洲重构世界历史的野心,很多论述都一针见血。不过感觉思想/观念史尽管高屋建瓴,方法论上还是少了物质的维度;以及对于民族-国家的批评和超越的背后是schimit式的friend-enemy的主权概念……
评分真是苦了译者了。。。
