The authors of this text believe that "areas" as assemblages of
social processes requiring distinct, culture-bound explanations
cannot be replaced with global theories, but that the meaning of
"the area" can be different depending on the question one studies.
The study of China and Chinese, in particular, is a good arena to
challenge the disciplinary and geographic boundaries of
conventional area studies for several reasons. First, because of
the wealth of simultaneous processes of rapid political, social,
and discursive change in contemporary Chinese society; second,
because of the problematic relationship between state, territory,
nation, and ethnicity in China; third, because China studies,
perhaps more than any other area studies at the moment, is a highly
competitive political and academic industry whose internal working
must be critically examined. In addition, the subject of China has
become one of the primary loci of contesting the meanings of
globalization and the universality versus relativity of "values"
and modernity.
