Dirceu Villa, I'm also an MA student working with Chinese literature and modernism. I was wondering if you feel that Pound's idea of Chinese writing, via Fenollosa, stole the fire from the Sinologists and established a discourse for people like Eisenstein and later Derrida in their critiques of Western representation? Do you think this line of questioning is worth pursuing? Is this a tired and beat horse?
