This book examines the complexity of Chineseness in China and the
Chinese diaspora. Using critical sociolinguistic and discourse
analytical approaches, the chapters reveal the power dynamics and
ideologies underlying the varied ways Chineseness is performed,
represented and contested. Together they highlight four
perspectives on Chineseness: the multiplicity of Chineseness,
aspirational Chineseness, chronotopes of Chineseness and the
cultural politics of Chineseness. It is argued that Chineseness is
best understood as an ideologically-constructed variable, the
articulation of which is deeply embedded within the dynamics of
neoliberal globalization, rising nationalism, persistent Western
hegemony, and shifting global geopolitics.
