Redefining the West: Introducing Westernology as a Method for "The West as the Other"

Dear friends, the Museum of Shanzhai Architecture is excited to launch our very own podcast channel!&nbsp; Our museum, founded in 2020, is a leading institution with the most complete and authoritative collection on shanzhai culture, particularly on architecture. We particularly focus on researching shanzhai architectures that are based on Western prototypes. Through our podcasts, we aim to take you on a journey through the original and impact of Shanghai architecture in contemporary China. These architectures are archives of the wave of contemporary China. We will dig through these architectures to understand the complex relations between authenticity and imitation, East and West, 'self' and 'other', the representation of power, and the constantly evolving climate of Chinese cultural identity. &nbsp; Please subscribe to our channel and share with your friends. Follow us on social media and visit www.museumofshanzhaiarchitecture.com/ to learn more about us.
