【Abstract】
This workshop hopes to explore the relevance and impact of post-colonial imagination as cultural critique in various societies of Asia. We argue that post-colonial discourse is engendered not only by locally grounded geopolitical contexts that frame it but also by the way observers and actors subjectively articulate (hence imagine) social experience. Cross-cultural comparison will reveal at the same time discrepancies in conceptual definition as well as usages in practice. In the final open forum session, we will discuss their ramifications for a clearer understanding of the new rise of China as empire.
