Abstract:

This book examines the complexity of Chineseness in China and the Chinese
diaspora. Using critical sociolinguistic and discourse analytical approaches,
the chapters reveal the power dynamics and ideologies underlying the varied
ways Chineseness is performed, represented and contested. Together they
highlight four perspectives on Chineseness: the multiplicity of Chineseness,
aspirational Chineseness, chronotopes of Chineseness and the cultural politics
of Chineseness. It is argued that Chineseness is best understood as an
ideologically-constructed variable, the articulation of which is deeply
embedded within the dynamics of neoliberal globalization, rising nationalism,
persistent Western hegemony, and shifting global geopolitics.
