Editors’ Abstract This article reviews the theory of Sinologism as proposed by Zhou Ning and Ming Dong Gu and critically examines its similarities to and differences from Orientalism and Postcolonialism. It applauds the move to replace political and ideological critique with the idea of “cultural unconscious” as more meaningful than simply borrowing ideas and methodologies from early theories. While endorsing the innovative contributions made by the proponents of Sinologism, it also identifies some problems in the theory and suggests possible directions in which Sinologism may further develop in the future.
