Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book describes, from a psychoanalytical point of view, the desires and anxieties of contemporary Chinese nationalism as it evolved after the 1989 student protests and crackdown. The author also unwraps China's convoluted relationship with its Occidental Other, describing how the Western gaze plays an essential part in forming China's self-image. |
