""This second issue of Critical Zone confirms the success of the inaugural volume. Focusing on a twenty-first century paradigm of comparative and globalized cultural studies, Critical Zone takes direction from a distinctly Sinicized historical tradition. Testifying to an ascendant China, this 'Forum of Chinese and Western Knowledge' also expropriates, re-orients, and indigenizes comparative cultural studies with new, sharp edges, engaging and challenging critical workers from the West. 'Local particularities' are understood rightly through a global vocabulary. Critical Zone is an ambitious contemporary intertext, a forum for dialogue in which Chinese and Western scholars and theorists can learn from and about each other."" – Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Professor of English, University of California, Santa Barbara
""The desire to know whether globalisation has produced a more homogenous or more heterogenous world has not abated since Critical Zone was launched two years ago. Indeed, all forms of border crossings have become even more frequent, and controversies surrounding the effects of cultural interaction are becoming more intense. This second issue of Critical Zone continues the project of challenging essentialising tendencies in much scholarship on 'the East' and 'the West'. With 'empire' as the point of departure to explore topics such as imperial gardens and universities, the articles navigate diverse locations (from Beijing, Paris, London, through to Hong Kong). This volume is sure to delight and inspire all thoughtful readers."" – Kam Louie, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, the University of Hong Kong< DIV>
