A Study on How the"Implicit Oriental-centralism"Obscures the Image of China:Taking the"Imposed Sinicization"in the International Malraux Criticism as an Example
There is an"implicit Oriental-centralism"in international Malraux criticism,which is essentially"imposed interpretation".Its conscious goal is to oppose the Western superiority,while its unconscious pursuit is to establish China as the"center of antagonistic values"of the West.Rather than giving detailed interpretation of specific connotations of Chinese thoughts and culture,critics with the tendency of implicit Oriental-centralism are always more eager to emphasize China's ability to influence the Western worlds.To some extent,there exists such kind of"collusion"involved from foreign writers,to their native commentators,and to Chinese commentators.They help each other make theirs"imposed sinicization"credible and persuasive.We need to make efforts to change the situation of"defocus on China"of international theoretical discourse.The"over focus"caused by the"Oriental-centralism"will aggravate the misunderstanding of China,and of Chinese culture.
