Description
CASSU Academic Seminar
This talk will invite us to historicize and contextualize the evolution of patriarchal violence in contemporary East Asia against Orientalist imaginations and official reinventions and appropriations of Confucianism, to better explain gender violence following the global #MeToo movement without regarding “Confucianism” as the ahistorical source of East Asia’s patriarchal violence.
