Abstract

Arguing that studies of China must simultaneously be studies of East Asia, this article offers a philosophically critical reflection on the meaning of Chineseness in lieu of the theme of the special issue—East Asia. The two regions are reciprocally holographical of each other. The latter part of the article will further propose a research agenda of post-Asianness. I hope to convey a message that is hidden but strong: that East Asia is a redundant agenda and yet fungible at the same time. This ontological irony can be likewise applied to both Chineseness and Asianness. Ultimately, China, East Asia and Asia are mainly strategic agendas and identities. The critical reflections outlined in this article are intended to display, facilitate and complicate the pluriversality of all post-identities.

后中国、后西方与后亚洲关系:参与多元东亚

本文认为研究中国必须与东亚研究并行不悖，因此对中国性的意义进行了哲学上的批判性反思，而不是专刊的主题——东亚。这两个区域是相互全息的。文章的后半部分将进一步提出后亚洲性的研究议程。我希望传达一个隐藏但强烈的信息:东亚是一个多余的议程，但同时也是可替代的。这种本体论的反讽同样适用于中国性和亚洲性。归根结底，中国、东亚和亚洲主要是战略议程和身份认同。本文概述的批判性反思旨在展示、促进和复杂化所有后身份的多元性。

期刊介绍： China Report promotes the free expression and discussion of different ideas, approaches and viewpoints which assist a better understanding of China and its East Asian neighbours. A quarterly journal of the Institute of Chinese Studies, it attempts to provide a fresh approach which goes beyond the strictly utilitarian area studies without becoming antiquarian. Launched in 1964, China Report has, over the years, widened its interests and aims and transformed itself into a scholarly journal that seeks a better understanding of China and its East Asian neighbours - particularly their cultures, their development and their relations with China. It is an indispensable source of information on China, its society and culture.
