30 Such a challenge went in tandem with the Pacific Rim discourse in the 1980s, when the East Asian states entered the fray and took an active part in asserting their national/cultural identity even as they sought to consolidate their economic ascendance through further integration into the global capitalist system. The revival and promotion of interests in Confucianism lay at the heart of these state efforts. 31 While many, especially “local” scholars living and working in the East Asian countries, expressed skepticism toward arguments about a particularly congenial connection between Confucian culture and modernization, or a common (neo)Confucian culture in East Asia, these proceedings and discussions nonetheless normativized the centrality of Confucianism to East Asian cultural identities and legitimated the efforts to make a Confucian-based cultural tradition relevant to modernity in East Asia.
Chow’s critical schema thus exposes the consequential link of nativism to nationalism and the modern paradigm that underlies nativism’s common critical reception as a nostalgic response to the challenges of a Western-dominated modernity. Significantly, the association of nativism with a conservative politics opposing hybridity and diversity is not limited to debates on modernity. 37 As a form of place-based identity politics, nativism is, in Harvey’s critical framework, a fundamentally “reactionary” response to the (post)modern experiences of time-space compression intensified under the regime of flexible accumulation in late twentieth-century capitalism.
14 Inasmuch as the global extension of capitalist practices corresponds in part to the Japanese-led ascendance in economic power of East Asia, postmodernity encodes a particular way of understanding local and regional developments in East Asia in relation to Euro-America. 16 On this historical ground of a compelled recognition of different modernities in the margins or outside Euro-America, postmodernity resignifies the world from the experience and perspective of the Euro-American center. While registering significant changes in Euro-America’s self-imagery and understanding of their relation to modernity and the margins, which facilitate nativist articulations of alternative modernities in the margins, postmodernity underscores the continued global dominance of Euro-American discursive constitution of the world.
