The so-called 'intercultural' approach challenges the academic world's temptation to adopt a universal, metacultural locus of enonciation; it challenges the idea that we can hide our geo-cultural, our historical and even our linguistic positions to speak from a pure, scientific theoretical situation. This tension between a claim for theoretical universalism and the reality of local culturewas very strong in the 1930s among Chinese writers, and especially for a revolutionary intellectual such as Qu Qiubai (1899-1935), convinced by the universal dimension of Marxism in the face of Chinese local history and culture.
