Flair Donglai SHI (施东来) is currently Tenure-Track Associate Professor (World Literature and Comparative Cultural Studies) at the Institute of Humanities and Arts at Shanghai Jiaotong University and has been affiliated with Warwick as Associate Tutor in Translation Studies (Chinese and English) since 2018. Flair obtained his PhD in English (Comparative Literature) from Oxford University. Flair’s current monograph project is entitled “Yellow Peril Revisited: Mutations, Reactions, and Reincarnations”, which investigates the racist concept of “the Yellow Peril” as a traveling discourse in contexts as diverse as early 20th century England, Apartheid South Africa and post-Mao China and the wider Sinophone world. He is initiating another book-length project on the representations of China-Africa interactions in contemporary cultural products, which investigates interracial relations as portrayed in literatures and films from China and a range of African countries including Zambia, Lesotho, Kenya, Zimbabwe, etc. His other research interests include Alice in Wonderland and China, theories of World Literature, modern Sinophone literature in translation, as well as the Global South as a genre of fiction.
