I am thinking to write a thesis about Chinese art, then come the
question:

I am thinking, why me for the research of Chinese art? Not because I am
Chinese (this statement has no meaning). Since Chinese when he doesn't
have any "power of identitiy" - here I mean, "power of langauge", power
of a language Chinese - he doesn't have power to control a "body" (in
meaning of "bodiness", "concretisation" (Konkretisierung), since without
it (body) we can't think) which can let him identify and be identified
as Chinese. His color of hair, color of eyes ....etc. has also been
identified as "body", as part of "his language". This "his language" is a
part of "otherness" which exists in human beings.
