Duplicate Malady: Repositioning Hysteria in South Asia / Cohen, Lawrence

Cohen, Lawrence	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Several anthropological essays in this issue of South Asia, each engaging the figure of hysteria, are reviewed through the relation of phenomena typified as hysterical to accusations of these being counterfeit or ‘duplicate’. A conceptual vocabulary to analyse the essays draws from the author’s work on India’s Aadhaar biometric identification platform as a means to transform a nation into a database and govern through an array of technical practices termed ‘de-duplication’. De-duplication emerges as a useful way to attend to the stakes in the enunciation or refusal of the hysterical symptom.

Summary/Abstract

China-Europe relations have intensified in recent decades, but there are still some awkward elements impeding the progress of bilateral relations.Tensions came to a headwith the international reaction to the suppression of protests in Tibet in March 2008, through which China's misperception of Europe appears to have deepened. In order to uncover the root cause of this misperception, the present article adopts a historical and psychological approach in analyzing China's views of Europe. The author argues that historical trauma and psychological causes are the main underlying reasons for the divergence between China and Europe.
