Lecture abstract:
At a moment when there is widespread fear of the dissolution of history and humanist values, a new form of Yellow Peril discourse has appeared. Taking English Prime Minister Theresa May's reference to machine translation as a point of departure, this talk will examine the changes to the notion of native language and their relation to the dystopian scenario of robots both replacing Chinese labor and waging a drone war against its rage.
