We will follow this analytical path regarding some references in his letters and other texts dedicated to China, but also to other Asian spaces, where certain issues emerge, such as the connection between death and eroticism, and the topics of disillusionment and the alleged impenetrability of the Oriental “other.” This will be interpreted in light of the thought of Edward Said and Victor Segalen. |
