Abstract in another language

Continuing from “Blowing up ‘the World‘ in World Anthropologies” (Papailias and Gupta 2021) and our initial interview with Gustavo Lins Ribeiro, we aim to highlight non-Euro-American knowledge traditions of and in World Anthropologies. We sought out Liang as an initial interlocutor, using his article as a starting point to probe the genealogies of Chinese anthropology and to learn more about anthropology in and of China. Through this interview, we seek to understand the realities of doing anthropology (a liberal discourse of Euro-American empire) in China (a rising empire) and what this means at this particular moment in time from within Chinese institutions.

This interview was conducted on April 11, 2022, between Professor Yongjia Liang from his home in China; American Anthropologist contributing editor Eileen Jahn, based in Germany; and World Anthropologies associate editor Pamila Gupta, based in South Africa. We would like to thank Professor Liang for taking the time to speak with us, and Elizabeth J. Chin and Penelope Papailias for editorial support.
