This piece situates keywords as sites of potential violence in the linguistic traffic between globalized China and the English-speaking world. Introducing the Chinese-English Keywords Project, which takes as its explicit goal to gather keywords that can serve as lenses onto Chinese conceptual and social lives, we center incommensurability, insisting that idiosyncratic usages be encountered on their own terms, sometimes even “detranslated.” Unpacking our methods - designed to eschew the epistemic violence that can accompany translational searches for equivalents that effectively privilege English - we then interrogate the concept of wenhua, conventionally glossed as “culture,” as it functions to instantiate social inequalities and zoom in on the entanglement of wenhua with the construct of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) to examine contested meanings across local, national, and global scales. Throughout, we ask what a decolonizing stance toward translational politics would look like across the co-imbricated contexts of academic interchange, globalizing capital, and super-power antagonisms.
