the rise of China to the status of an economic superpower, the paradigms for
studying East Asia are undergoing fundamental changes in the early twenty-first
century. What are some of these changes and how may they be understood in

of the most prominent intellectuals working in the humanities today. She
contributes to as many disciplines as she weaves into her elegantly structured,
comparative critiques, and her ever-expanding oeuvre confronts the interlocking

visual culture, cultural studies, and Asian society and politics.</span></p><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none" class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: rgb(29,29,29); FONT-SIZE: 19px" class="Apple-style-span">Rey Chow’s books include Writing Diaspora (1993); The Age
