New Silk Road Narratives

Local Perspectives on Chinese Presence along the Belt and Road Initiative

It is not only goods, financial capital or technologies that are being traded, negotiated and circulated along the China-led Belt and Road Initiative but also values, emotions and cultural practices. The latter are often decisive when imagining and establishing a transregional infrastructure of the scale of the BRI. This book explores connections and disconnections along the New Silk Roads through narratives and their cultural configurations. Focusing on China-Africa-relations, the authors of this book investigate the role of narratives and various forms of cultural configurations to understand how processes of transregionalization shape local patterns of thought, perception and practice.

Jamila Adeli is an art historian, specialized in the global field of contemporary art and its role in transregionalization and globalization processes. Since 2021, she holds a position as a postdoctoral researcher in the BMBF-funded research consortium De:link // Re:link - Local perspectives on transregional processes of (dis)entanglements at the Institute of African and Asian Studies, Humboldt University of Berlin. In her individual research project "Artistic de/construction of narratives in new silk road regions", she investigates the role of cultural politics and art in both constructing and responding to China’s Belt and Road Initiative within new silk road regions.

Linda Ammann studied African linguistics specializing on the documentation of phonetics and phonology of “Khoisan” languages. Currently, she works on the role language plays in the implementation of BRI projects in the cultural-political sector as well as narratives as means of communications. Since 2021, she holds a position as postdoctoral researchers in the BMBF-funded research consortium De:link // Re:link - Local perspectives on transregional processes of (dis)entanglements at the Institute of African and Asian Studies, Humboldt University of Berlin.
