按照“关贸”以及后面世贸组织的规定，所有成员国都有否决权，因此当一个国家提出加入申请后，需要跟成员国逐一进行谈判。每个国家的诉求不一样，比如冰岛的焦点是鱼类，俄国多尔的焦点是香蕉，马来西亚的焦点是棕榈油，搞定这些国家并不难，最难攻克的是美国。

中美之间涉及了6000多个睡好的产品，而根据非歧视性原则，双边谈判的成果适用于所有成员国，因此大部分成员国都乐意见到美国对中方的高价勒索。

但毕竟当年正值中美十年蜜月期，那是黑鹰直升机都往中国卖的激情燃烧岁月，冷战的地缘政治让两国紧密合作，中美谈判一度出现了比较好的势头。1988年外贸部讨论复关工作，李岚清，沈觉人等几位领导都对谈判的进展表示乐观，当时会议气氛热烈，大家谈笑风生。

the other, the Orient

In Queer Phenomenology(2006), Sara Ahmed, noting the connection of orientation and the Orient, describes this experience of being objectified as one of becoming an object toward which other subjectivities orient.

Blackness is positioned within the white imaginary as a body only thrown into the world, not as a body that projects. The body schema is doubled by a phenomenological return that positions the black body as an object, a being without the ecstatic [involving an experience of mystic self-transcendence: an ecstatic vision.] structure of human existence.

They cannot represent themselves, they must be represented.

[Summery of Edward Said's Orientalism] from the net! http://culturalstudiesnow.blogspot.com/2017/09/great-summary-of-orientalism-by-edward.html Said's analysis in Orientalism relies heavily on the thought of Michel Foucault and especially his thoughts on the concept of discourse and the knowledge/power equation. Another intellectual influence found in Orientalism is the concept of hegemony derived from the philosophy of Antonio Gramsci. Using this terminology Said shows how Orientalism served as a system of representations which served to consolidate the West's authority and supremacy over the East, and not just to reflect or describe it. Like Foucault, Said ties images, ideas and texts to actual practices of government and subjection employed in order to control millions of people in the non-white world.

ongoing update 2018 11 11

Objective: Communicate textually what have you done during the past period to staff and peers.

Attention: To connect specific personal interest to collective thematic work.

Prior to joining the XPUB program, I have a small body of work, and my interests are loosely connected. The small body of work is consisted of three publications of color. The thematic interest on color is due to my interest in theories of vision from sporadic readings of Merleau-Ponty, Descartes, and Massumi. I am interested the way these authors write about sensorial experience in its most nascence. To unpack how I understand nascence, Merleau-Ponty reconstitutes an experience of seeing a red book as firstly perceiving a certain redness, which is in turn the manifestation of a red surface, which is the manifestation of a piece of red cardboard, and finally, the manifestation of the outline of a red thing, namely, this book.

The phenomenological approach is valuable to my research since it affirms in my practical work, the centrality of bodily perception. I like how Foucault summarizes the text of Phenomenology of Perception: “the body organism is linked to the world through a network of primal significations, which arise from the perception of things.”

Prior to entering the XPUB program during the interview, I was asked by Aymeric about my choice of extracting color from IKEA catalog. At that point I did not know how to answer. The answer is as simple as I like the color palette of IKEA, I like the way individual color swatches rhythmically resonate from one another.

Today is November 11th and it’s two months after commencement of XPUB course. During these two months, a thematic publication is developed supported by the web of interconnected courses. I find that, the content from Special Issue prompted me to answer my unanswered question during the interview.

The formation of the public sphere is comprised of what is presented public, hence, our perception and notion of the public is conditioned by what is already presented as public. This process neglects the margins away from the centralized and the more often attended. As an individual, my perceptive experience is conditioned by the content in public sphere. I try to go back to Foucault’s summarization again – the body organism is linked to the world through a network of primal significations, which arise from the perception of things. As an individual, my perceptive experience is conditioned by the content in public sphere; that is to say, “the perception of things” is conditioned by the content in the public sphere.

list of research book titles

I begin to read Jonathan Crary's writings. A problem that I find is that, there is a limit to rely solely on his reading to support my current interest. Suspension of perception focuses on the timeline the second half of nineteenth century, from 1880 to 1905. In addition to this part of the timeline I need to research textually on computer vision for example.

I am also finding readings of Bernard Stiegler interesting. I found a small book written by him, doesn't seem to relate to my research interest whatsoever, by incredibly contemplative. It's called Acting Out. I am reading on how he writes individuation in the beginning of the book.

In addition to that I also read part of the Consumer Society, but I am starting to unlike it. Perhaps it's because the way Baudrillard writes. I find that he focus on analyzing the scenarios, rather than the emergence of the conditions which I find more intriguing.

I also made a request in the library, to order a book called The Existence of Digital Objects written by Yuk Hui, who is a translator of Stiegler's writing to Chinese.
