Event overview
Free public lecture
To celebrate the launch of two new Asian-centric programmes at Goldsmiths — the MA Critical Asian Studies and the BA International Studies and Chinese — the Department of Politics and the Centre for Cultural Studies present:
Harry Harootunian on “Provincializing Marxism”
Harry Harootunian’s trenchant critique of area studies helped established him long ago as the doyen of new Critical Asian Studies approach. This new approach offered a more theoretically informed and reflexive conceptualization of questions relating to non-Western social and knowledge formations. Critical Asian Studies has, in crucial respects, changed the face of American area studies and through his detailed and erudite studies of Japanese history and probing theoretical analysis, Harootunian has set new standards for scholarship, not just in Japanese studies, but for Asian Studies more generally.
