本文審視主流論述中「西方與非西方」二分法的政治。更確切地說，本文審視「西方理論與亞洲現實」作為一種權力政治，如何協助帝國主義或國族主義壓迫語言的、族群的、以及文化的異質性。本文將華語語系視為一種文學成就與存在，透過挑戰族群、語言、與國籍之間的平衡互涉，介入並阻斷主流論述的二分法。

This article examines the politics of the majoritarian binary, "The West and the Rest," and more specifically, "Western Theory, Asian Reality," as a politics of power that serves specific interests ranging from imperialism and nationalism to the suppression of heterogeneity in languages, ethnicities, and cultures. The Sinophone is posited here as a presence, literary and otherwise, that interrupts this majoritarian binary by challenging the chain of equivalence among ethnicity, language, and nationality.
