Abstract:In On saving face, Michael Keevak traces the Western reception of the Chinese concept of "face" during the past two hundred years, arguing that it has always been linked to nineteenth-century colonialism. "Lose face" and "save face" have become so normalized in modern European languages that most users do not even realize that they are of Chinese origin. "Face" is an extremely complex and varied notion in all East Asian cultures
