Martin Heidegger Once Wrote That The World Had, In The Age Of Modern Science, Become A World Picture. For Rey Chow, The World Has, In The Age Of Atomic Bombs, Become A World Target, To Be Attacked Once It Is Identified, Or So Global Geopolitics, Dominated By The United States Since The End Of The Second World War, Seems Repeatedly To Confirm. How To Articulate The Problematics Of Knowledge Production With This Aggressive Targeting Of The World? Chow Attempts Such An Articulation By Probing The Significance Of The Chronological Proximity Of Area Studies, Poststructuralist Theory, And Comparative Literaturefields Of Inquiry That Have Each Exerted Considerable Influence But Whose Mutual Implicatedness As Postwar U.S. Academic Phenomena Has Seldom Been Theorized. Central To Chows Discussions Is A Critique Of The Predicament Of Selfreferentialitythe Compulsive Move To Interiorize That, In Her View, Constitutes The Collective Frenzy Of Our Agein Different Contemporary Epistemic Registers, Including The Selfconsciously Avantgarde As Well As The Militaristic And Culturally Supremacist. Urging Her Readers To Think Beyond The Inwardturning Focus On Euroamerica That Tends To Characterize Even The Most Radical Gestures Of Western Selfdeconstruction, Chow Envisions Much Broader Intellectual Premises For Future Transcultural Work, With Reading Practices Aimed At Restoring Words And Things To Their Constitutive Exteriority.
