Fyi: Al Jazeera + just released a four part video series about how Chinese tourist should behave in France (critical, not prescriptive)

[CUNY PSG @psg_cuny]

PSG: Western modernity frames itself as calm and linear (which it was not), and then shows global south modernity as traumatic and other.

[CUNY PSG @psg_cuny]

PSG: alienation from modernity is of Virginia Woolf and Gertrude Stein vs. hard for people in the global south too, sensationalized as other

[CUNY PSG @psg_cuny]

PSG talks to Xavier about framing, how to think ethically about the word and the image when representing the subaltern in global war.

[CUNY PSG @psg_cuny]

Xavier shows linguistic failures of translation as political choice, death of a French soldier is translated into Chinese from French.

[CUNY PSG @psg_cuny]

Xavier traces how later Chinese translations of Sino-French texts work to repatriate the work, co-opt into Chinese nationalist narrative.

[CUNY PSG @psg_cuny]

Xavier's excavates what it means that Sino-French writing is "poetic", thinking about silences between image, no transitions, no tenses, no.

[CUNY PSG @psg_cuny]

Xavier compares the French w/ English translation w/ Chinese translation of the original French to show surprising constellations of meaning

[CUNY PSG @psg_cuny]

Excited to get an early peek into Xavier's upcoming book: China and France in Love: Creativity and Failure in Contemporary Sino-French Lit.

[CUNY PSG @psg_cuny]

Xavier asks the question of what makes an extremely successful migrant text, navigating the exotic while resisting exoticisation.
