A Study of Chinese Culture’s Dissemination in Spanish-speaking Regions from the Perspective of Post-colonialism
Keywords:
Chinese culture, dissemination, Spanish-speaking areas, post-colonialismAbstract
This study explores the intricacies of Chinese cultural narratives’ construction, transmission, and reception in Spanish-speaking areas. Through questionnaire surveys and the post-colonial lens, it seeks to understand the complexities that arise from cultural hybridity, adaption and identity formations in the context of former colonial territories. The research acknowledges the dialectical nature of cultural exchange, influenced by historical, economic, and social factors. By delving into these dynamics, the paper contributes to a nuanced understanding of Chinese cultural dissemination overseas, highlighting the need to narrow psychological and emotional distances between Chinese and foreign population and helping Chinese cultural disseminate abroad more effectively and smoothly.
