  • Tang-Song Transition”
    Journal of chinese humanities 6 (2020) 192-212 brill.com/joch A Discussion of Several Issues Concerning the “Tang-Song Transition” Mou Fasong 牟發松 Professor of Department of History, East China Normal University, Shanghai, China [email protected] Abstract Naitō Konan’s hypothesis on the “Tang-Song transition” was first expressed in lec- ture notes from his 1909 class on modern Chinese history at Kyoto University and, then, expounded in subsequent works such as “A General View of the Tang and Song Dynasties” and “Modern Chinese History.” The theory systematically outlines that an evolutionary medieval to modern transition occurred in Chinese society during the period between the Tang and the Song dynasties, focusing in particular on the areas of politics/government, the economy, and culture. Political change is regarded as the core metric, demonstrated in concentrated form by the government’s transformation from an aristocratic to a monarchical autocratic system alongside a rise in the status and position of the common people. The “Tang-Song transition theory,” underpinned theo- retically by a cultural-historical perspective, advocates for a periodization of Chinese history based on the stages and characteristics of China’s cultural development, which is also attributed to cultural shifts, downward to the commoner class from a culture monopolized by the aristocracy during the period between the Tang and Song, with concomitant changes in society. For over a century since it was first proposed, the “Tang-Song transition theory” has had far-reaching influence in Chinese, Japanese, and Western academic circles, continuing to be lively and vigorous even now. We might be able to find the cause in its originality and liberality, which leave significant room for later thinkers’ continued adherence and development or criticism and falsi- fication and continue to inspire new questions.

  • Imagining Asia: a Genealogical Analysis
    1 Imagining Asia: A Genealogical Analysis Wang Hui The Neo-liberal notion of globalization and the notion of “New Empire” that reemerged in the “war against terror” reciprocate with each other and have unveiled the dominating power concealed behind the changes in the contemporary world. The former, the notion of globalization, restructures various social traditions radically according to the Marketism principles of Neo-liberalism, such as legal system related with private property, that the state should withdraw from the economic sphere, transnational production, business, and financial systems. The latter, the notion of New Empire, seizes on the pretext of violence, crisis and social collapses triggered by the process of neo-liberal globalization to reconstruct military and political “New Empire.” The core of the “New Empire” concept is a control mechanism and function of violence that can operate world-wide. It relies on national or supranational political and military organizations, and hence differs from the neo-liberal notion of globalization. The globalization of Marketism cancels out the legitimacy of all political interference with the category of economy, and subsequently prevents the new order from relying on a certain center or centers of power, but the notion of “empire,” from the perspective of market unification and its institutional demand, evinces the inherent connection between the globalization process and a supranational political and military power centered on nation-states or unions of nation-states. However, it is these two apparently different notions that knit together military unions, collaborative economic associations, and international political institutions, setting up an overall order comprised of all levels--politics, economy, culture, and military.

The course covers what have become two Chinas, Japan, and two Koreas from roughly 1200 BC to about AD 1200. As we say every Fall in HILD 10: “2400 years, three countries, ten weeks, no problem.” The book does not stand alone: the teacher should assign primary and secondary sources, study questions, dates to be memorized, etc. The maps mostly use the same template to enable students to compare them one to the next. About the Images and Production Labor The Cover This image represents a demon. It comes from a manuscript on silk that explains particular demons, and gives astronomical and astrological information. The manuscript was found in a tomb from the southern mainland state of Chu that dates to about 300 BC. I chose it to represent how the three countries of East Asia differ, but share a great deal and grew up together.

  • Liberal Education in Asia: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities
    New Global Studies 2015; 9(3): 245–266 Pericles Lewis* and Katherine Rupp Liberal Education in Asia: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities DOI 10.1515/ngs-2015-0028 Abstract: In this article, we seek to establish what liberal education means in the Asia of today by examining different institutions in India, Japan, South Korea, and China. In particular, we have analyzed fourteen such programs and identi- fied certain commonalities, as well as important differences, particularly invol- ving governance structure. We then offer some insights gleaned from the first three years of one of the largest such undertakings, Yale-NUS College in Singapore. We conclude that partnerships with U.S. institutions offer expertise and prestige, but the spread of liberal education in Asia will also depend on change within the relatively rigid but prestigious public systems that dominate most education in the region. The curriculum should embrace the local culture but put it in conversation with broader trends both in Asia and the West. In order for these institutions to thrive, faculty and students must be free to teach, study, and conduct research on controversial subjects without political interference. Keywords: East-Asia, liberal education, universities, South Asia One of the most distinctive features of American higher learning, liberal arts education, has, in the past decade or so, inspired new programs and schools throughout Asia. While the international media has to some extent tracked this remarkable growth, what the terms “liberal education,”“liberal arts education,” “liberal arts and sciences education,” and “general education” mean varies widely from one context to the next.1 Although liberal education is often under- stood as an exclusively Western or even American approach, it in fact draws on ideals recognized in many parts of Asia.
