On October 4, 2017, Martin Dusinberre gave a lecture on “Other Spheres in History: The Sinosphere” for the UZH public lecture series, “Debating the Anglosphere: History, Hegemony, Identity.” This was a contribution to UZH’s “Debating the Anglosphere” lecture series, inspired by the work of Srdjan Vučetić (who was one of the guest speakers). Martin Dusinberre’s argument was that cultural, linguistic, political and even military “spheres” are in themselves nothing new in history; and he also questioned whether the “Anglosphere” is a useful analytical category for scholars to think about the twentieth- and twenty-first century history.
