You are warmly invited to participate in the next lecture of our 2021/2022 lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.
Should the project of modernity be salvaged from the legacy of its European provenance? Decolonising European modernity is predicated on the historical text of that modernity itself— of the allegorical dubious hold of “Europe” as a beleaguered metaphor. Locating that text in the colonial paratext of the globality of its reach reveals the urtext of a renewed reasoning that overrides the instrumental reason of colonial modernity. What could the liberating contours of that reasoning be?
