Centering his analysis in the dynamic forces of modern East Asian history, Kuan-Hsing Chen recasts cultural studies as a politically urgent global endeavor. He argues that the intellectual and subjective work of decolonization begun across East Asia after the Second World War was stalled by the cold war. At the same time, the work of deimperialization became impossible to imagine in imperial centers such as Japan and the United States. Chen contends that it is now necessary to resume those tasks, and that decolonization, deimperialization, and an intellectual undoing of the cold war must proceed simultaneously. Combining postcolonial studies, globalization studies, and the emerging field of “Asian studies in Asia,” he insists that those on both sides of the imperial divide must assess the conduct, motives, and consequences of imperial histories.
Chen is one of the most important intellectuals working in East Asia today; his writing has been influential in Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and mainland China for the past fifteen years. As a founding member of the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Society and its journal, he has helped to initiate change in the dynamics and intellectual orientation of the region, building a network that has facilitated inter-Asian connections. Asia as Method encapsulates Chen’s vision and activities within the increasingly “inter-referencing” East Asian intellectual community and charts necessary new directions for cultural studies.
Kuan-Hsing Chen is a professor in the Institute for Social Research and Cultural Studies at Chiao Tung University in Taiwan. He has written and edited many books in Chinese. He is co-executive editor of the journal Inter-Asia Cultural Studies.

评分1.作者没有用事实做证据 作者谈“帝国”与“殖民”问题,结果却完全没有谈帝国与殖民地是如何发展变化的。比如谈东亚,就要谈1954年东南亚条约组织以及它是怎么崩溃的,1958年东南亚联盟又是怎样形成的,这样自然就明白帝国是怎么“去”又是如何改头换面、卷土重来的。 类似的...
解释了很多长期萦绕在心头的问题
评分清晰且真诚,读起来对于这一代知识分子的努力蛮感动的。所谓亚洲作为方法,致力的是subject的deformation和reformation。不过我觉得可以不同意而且可以向前推进的点在于 1. 亚洲并不先在于区域在现代的生成,亚洲的视野其实也不构成在欧洲现代性之外的transcendent view;2. 民族国家的逻辑以及相关的becoming human的逻辑
评分we're still live in a ideology context constructed and centralized by western countries. for the countries colonized in history also China, we live in a post - colonialism context and how to figure out our own voices is under consideration the impressive sentence is 失去了记忆和身份的负重 永远只能是一叶浩海孤舟 在西方资本主义和强权政治的操纵下重复着一样的循环 最终走向无意识被遗忘的悲剧命运
评分5,反知识建构的殖民主义,强调Asia as anchoring point, intra-Asia reference; West as a cultural factor。理论在地化,道理大家都懂,可是…
评分仔细读的当然是Asia as Method那章,将亚洲各文化互视作参照系,以此碎片化西方,最终实现对其解构。想法很impressive,虽然不太好操作。但最无语的是这本是我系core course上大家一起读的,竟然有人很认真的讨论了asia as method怎么运用于长安和奈良的比较,简直去历史化到吐血三升。明明是由于殖民冷战等现代经验才打开的参照可能啊....
