Dear all,
I am very pleased to announce that on September 30 at 2:30 p.m. (CEST / UTC+2) we will have the honor of hosting Prof. Shu-mei Shih (UCLA) at the University of Milan.
Her lecture, “Empires of the Sinophone”, will introduce the new English-language reader in Sinophone studies entitled Sinophone Studies across Disciplines (Columbia UP, 2024). Framing the book talk in terms of comparative empire studies as a way to stage a critique of the exceptionalism of both area studies and Eurocentrism, the lecture will explore the potential of Sinophone studies in the new age of empires that is our contemporary historical moment.
This event will take place within the framework of the PRIN 2022 Project Re-visualizing “The West”: geo-literary images of Europe in contemporary Sinophone writings (PI: Simona Gallo, University of Milan).
Venue: Room T9, University of Milan, Sesto San Giovanni campus
In-person attendance in Milan is warmly encouraged!
