Rey Chow Livres

    Rey Chow est une critique culturelle sino-américaine dont le travail explore la fiction et le cinéma chinois du XXe siècle, la théorie postcoloniale et la critique de la culture visuelle. Son écriture défie les suppositions fondamentales au sein des discours académiques et publics concernant l'identité ethnique et culturelle, mettant en évidence des représentations problématiques des cultures et minorités non occidentales. Chow explore principalement les formes narratives et visuelles à travers une lentille interdisciplinaire, examinant leurs intersections avec la modernité, la sexualité et la postcolonialité. Ses recherches actuelles se concentrent sur les héritages de la théorie post-structuraliste, la politique de la langue comme phénomène postcolonial et les paradigmes changeants de la connaissance et de l'expérience vécue à l'ère numérique.

      Chow explores the intersection of leadership, innovation, and the humanities within contemporary Western universities, questioning the benefits and implications of current administrative discourses. Utilizing Foucault's concept of "outside," she critiques the biopolitics of literary studies and addresses issues such as race, sound, and self-entrepreneurship. Advocating for a nonutilitarian approach, she emphasizes the importance of processing diverse texts and forming viable arguments, ultimately urging a re-examination of knowledge production that values inquiry over predetermined answers.

      What is the sentimental? How can we understand it by way of the visual and narrative modes of signification specific to cinema and through the manners of social interaction and collective imagining specific to a particular culture in transition? This book explores these questions through contemporary Chinese directors.
