Addchina and See Where the Path Takes You AddChina and see where the path takes you Postgraduate Toolkit pg 2 + “This year marks 45 years of diplomatic relations between Australia and China. The deep and growing bilateral relationship is complemented by the China- Australia Free Trade Agreement, which is opening up new market opportunities for businesses from our two countries. The next decade will see this relationship continue to grow. Firsthand experience of Chinese culture, language and society is becoming increasingly important as employers in Australia and globally seek China-savvy graduates who can develop meaningful professional relationships and networks. I strongly encourage young people looking to engage with China in the future to make the decision to ‘Add China’ to your program of study.” — MS JAN ADAMS AO PSM 2016–present Australian Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China 1.

It all starts with an historical experience whose novelty has all but escaped us: a “crowd of strangers” on the street which is unknown, indeed, mysterious. Within this crowd emerges the lonely individual, whose paradox of self- realization in isolation culminates in an “extreme and precarious form of consciousness,” namely the monad of subjectivity. The third moment can be found in the imagined objectivity confronting the new-born subjectivity, which Williams calls the “concealment” and “impenetrabil- ity” of the city. This would be the London in Conan Doyle—foggy, dark, intricate, a huge crime scene necessitating an isolated but penetrating rational intelligence that finds its form in the detective novel.1 Williams’s conceptualization of the city/modernity then takes a sharp, dialectic turn, as the alienating concentration of men and women in the city also gives rise to a new unity or “human solidarity.” Cast in this light, the image of the mob turns into that of the “masses” and the “multitude” with democratic and revolutionary potentials.
