  • Islamic “Authenticity” on China’S Peripheries
    LOCALIZING THE TRANS/NATIONALLY MODERN IMAGINARY: ISLAMIC “AUTHENTICITY” ON CHINA’S PERIPHERIES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Lesley Rose Turnbull August 2014 © 2014 Lesley Rose Turnbull. ii iii LOCALIZING THE TRANS/NATIONALLY MODERN IMAGINARY: ISLAMIC “AUTHENTICITY” ON CHINA’S PERIPHERIES Lesley Rose Turnbull, Ph.D. Cornell University 2014 Due to increasing liberalization following China’s economic reforms, record numbers of Chinese Muslims have gone abroad to other parts of the Muslim world for study, religious pilgrimage (hajj) or work. Such direct interaction with the rest of the Muslim world has shaped how Hui- Muslims in China understand, imagine, and articulate their Islamic identity through nationalism, modernity, and Chinese state sovereignty. This dissertation asks how what I term the “transnationally modern” – that is, the imagined and experienced connections between China and the rest of the world that have emerged since China’s “opening up” in 1978 – is complicit in producing particular forms of Hui-Muslim religious “authenticity” in China. How, after decades of isolation, do Muslims in China legitimate their versions of Islam? I delve into this question by comparing two groups of Hui-Muslims in Yunnan Province: the urban, secular elite in the provincial capital Kunming, and the rural, religious elite in the Muslim enclave of Shadian. I examine how Muslims in each of these communities reconstructed their religious “authenticity” after the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution. In particular, I show how their proximity to urban centers of power and their embeddedness in dominant capitalist modes of production shaped the kinds of ethno-religious authenticity they produced.

  • Malaria and Global Networks of Tropical Medicine in Modern China, 1919-1950
    MALARIA AND GLOBAL NETWORKS OF TROPICAL MEDICINE IN MODERN CHINA, 1919-1950 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Yubin Shen, M.A. Washington, D.C. April 10, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Yubin Shen All Rights Reserved ii MALARIA AND GLOBAL NETWORKS OF TROPICAL MEDICINE IN MODERN CHINA, 1919-1950 Yubin Shen, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Carol A. Benedict, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Based on multi-sited primary archival sources, this dissertation explores the origins and development of tropical medicine as a new medical subfield in twentieth- century China from 1919 to 1950. Inspired by various network theories, including social network theory and the concept of global scientific networks, it illustrates how China became an international center for tropical medicine by the 1950s. It further demonstrates how modern Chinese tropical medicine developed out of the investigations and interactions of a transnational cadre of scientific and philanthropic elite (both Chinese and foreign) working in many different registers and on many different levels, who were linked together by complex local, national, and global networks. By illuminating the multifaceted experiences of these different networks in promoting Chinese tropical medicine and by demonstrating how they were, to varying degrees, driven by state-building, war and national defense, philanthropic, international cooperation, and individual professional agendas, this dissertation provides a new interpretation of the history of tropical medicine in China. It emends the “colonial medicine model,” still dominant in the field of the history of medicine, which treats tropical medicine solely as “a tool of empire” used to bolster western imperial expansion and colonial rule over the non-western world.

  • Heritagizing Local Cheese in China: Opportunities, Challenges, and Inequalities
    This is the accepted version of a an article accepted for publication in Food and Foodways published by Taylor & Francis. Published version will be made available at: https://doi.org/10.1080/07409710.2017.1420354 Accepted version available from: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/25066/ Heritagizing Local Cheese in China: Opportunities, Challenges, and Inequalities JAKOB A. KLEIN Department of Anthropology, SOAS University of London, UK ABSTRACT: The author discusses the heritagization of local foods in China, based on his ethnographic research into the production, marketing, and consumption of rubing or “milk cake,” a goat milk cheese made in Yunnan province in the southwest of the country. The article draws attention to regional and ethnic dimensions to heritagization processes in China, sheds light on the relationship between heritagization and state projects of agricultural modernization, and raises critical questions about the opportunities and challenges for smallholder producers to create and capture value in the growing market for Chinese local heritage foods. TITLE FOR RUNNING HEAD: Heritagizing Local Cheese in China Scholars have begun to explore the reinvention of local foods in China as symbols of cultural heritage, a process which researchers working elsewhere have called the “heritagization” of food (Grasseni 2014; West 2016). Across the People’s Republic of China (PRC), products ranging from the ham of Jinhua, Zhejiang province (Wang 2012) to the teas of a holy mountain in Hubei province (DeBernardi 2015) are being packaged, branded, and certified as edible exemplars of the distinctive nature-cultures of their places of production. Studies reveal how such reinventions of food have affected Chinese local foodways (Tan and Ding 2010; Mak 2014).
