"The idea of China was central to the making of modernity & the formation of the modern Western self ... The Chinese contribution to Romanticism was substantial & just as important as the later influence of Chinese aesthetics on European aestheticism & modernism."

The proofs here! In this article, I propose the notion of “double decolonization” to capture how western & East Asian hegemonies co-produce the essentialization & orientalization of East Asia. As a result, Confucianism is often evoked out of context in global events such as COVID

Finished Harrison’s book on the history and politics behind the translation process during the first encounter of Chinese and British empires. Truly appreciative of its biographical approach. Takeaway: Languages are fundamental, and it’s a privilege to be able to study them!

University admins claim to be "data-driven" and "run universities like a business," but when study after study finds liberal arts majors get good outcomes, are cheap to run, and are in fact profit centers, admins cut them anyway for ideological reasons.
