THE BIRTH of the CHINESE POPULATION: a STUDY in the HISTORY of GOVERNMENTAL LOGICS by Malcolm Thompson a THESIS SUBMITTED IN THE BIRTH OF THE CHINESE POPULATION: A STUDY IN THE HISTORY OF GOVERNMENTAL LOGICS by Malcolm Thompson A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June, 2013 © Malcolm Thompson, 2013 ABSTRACT It was only in the early twentieth century that China discovered that it had a population, at least if a population is understood not as a number of people but instead in terms of such features as relative levels of health, birth and death rates, sex ratios, and so on—that is, as an object with a specific rationality that can be managed and improved. In 1900, such a conception of the population did not exist in China; by the 1930s, it was utterly pervasive. How did this transformation take place? This dissertation argues that it occurred at the level of techniques of governing and systems of knowledge production, and explains it from the perspective of changes in the institutional and epistemological forms by which interventions into other people's activities are organized. The installation of populationist practices into China is tracked in four sites: 1. The problem of “race efficiency”—formalized in this period as the cost in “race energy” of producing a given increment to a population—and analyses of the effects of different kinds of social organization on the production of life. 2. The institutional division of population registration into censuses (“statics”) and vital statistics (“dynamics”)—in a word, the formation of a statistical system based on mechanics. 3. Public health, whose object of care is not patients but the collective life of the population and its conditions of existence. 4. The problem of the China's “rural surplus labour-power” in relation to the formation of a national economy. This dissertation shows how the privileged position of the population in political and economic reflection in Republican China carved out a field of governability by which it was possible to enchain a variety of previously disconnected fields of activity into a single logic, the axiom of which was the capitalist accumulation of life. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS

John Gray, who describes himself as an atheist, is nevertheless critical of most versions of atheism. His attitude to atheism is the same as his attitude to certain types of religion. This attitude is predicated upon Gray’s conviction that human beings are intrinsically dissatisfied and unpredictable creatures who can never get along with each other for any length of time. His view is based on a reading of human nature that sails close to the wind of the Christian concept of original sin, and is out of step with most modern forms of atheism. In particular, Gray is allergic to any forms of cultural progress in human behaviour especially if they are couched in positivistic or evolutionary terms. 5 ATHEISM 1 19th century atheism Gray sets out his stall in his first chapter, ‘The New Atheism: A Nineteenth- century Orthodoxy’.

  • Extrait Ma Junwu
    Avertissement : Ce texte n’est pas définitivement achevé. Il s’agit d’un fragment de ma thèse en cours de rédaction sur le darwinisme en Chine. Néanmoins, il m’a paru utile pour la poursuite de mon travail de le publier en l’état pour permettre à un lectorat intéressé par le sujet et/ou aux universitaires d’en prendre connaissance, devant la difficulté d’avoir un retour sur mon travail, notamment chez les sinologues. Ma Junwu, premier traducteur de Darwin Ingénieur, éducateur, poète et homme politique, Ma Junwu (son vrai prénom est Daoning) est le premier et le plus influent traducteur de Darwin en chinois de la première moitié du XXe siècle. Par l’impact incontestable et durable de ses traductions d’œuvres occidentales (à part Darwin, il faut citer notamment Rousseau, J. S. Mill, Spencer et Haeckel), c’est certainement la personnalité la plus typique de la philosophie évolutionniste chinoise, bien que son rôle soit encore sous-estimé par les commentateurs contemporains dans ce domaine1. Il est né le 17 juillet 1881 à Gongcheng, aujourd’hui un district de la région de Guilin (province de Guangxi), d’un parent fonctionnaire2. Durant son enfance, Ma suit une éducation classique privée mais dès l’âge de 16 ans (en 1897), il s’intéresse au programme de réformes constitutionnelles de Kang Youwei. Il suit de près les événements des 100 jours de réformes, l’année suivante. En 1899, il entre à l’école Tiyong (Tiyong daxue) à Guilin, l’une des nouvelles écoles qui s’ouvrent au « savoir occidental ». Dans le cadre de ses études secondaires, Ma y étudie notamment les mathématiques (sa spécialité de l’époque), l’anglais et l’histoire3.

By solving a complete set of Maxwell’s equations, the propagation constants and effective radii depending on geometrical parameters are numerically calculated. By declining atrade-off between propagation length and light confinement, high quality hybrid modes which can travel a long range of 120–200휆 with a subwavelength effective radius are obtained at the optical wavelength. These modesin one-dimensional cylindrical waveguides should have potential applications in nanoscale optical device designs.

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

In order to ensure competitive advantage, they must be able to promote high levels of professional performance. This research is part of this theme and aims to analyze how the job characteristics, professional knowledge, skills, competencies, training and work engagement influence the job evaluation and, consequently, the performance of employees of six public hospitals, China. The sample consists of 546 subjects aged between 21 and 58 years (M = 37.9; SD = 8.73), with the majority being females (55.5%). For the collection of data, such scales were used as the Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS), the Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other Personal Characteristics Scale (KSAOS), the Competencies and Training Scale (CTS) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). The results obtained show that the job characteristics, the professional knowledge, the skills, the training and the work engagement influence the job evaluation. It was also found that the male respondents, those belonging to the older age group, those with higher academic qualifications and those with higher positions present higher average performance in all dimensions under study.

It is certain to have an enormous impact on the entire field of China studies.” Victor H. Mair, University of Pennsylvania “This deeply historical, multidisciplinary volume consistently and fruitfully employs insights from critical race and whiteness studies in a new arena. In doing so it illuminates brightly how and when ideas about race and ethnicity change in the service of shifting configurations of power.” David Roediger, author of How Race Survived U.S. History “A great book. By examining the social construction of hierarchy in China,Critical Han Studiessheds light on broad issues of cultural dominance and in-group favoritism.” Richard Delgado, author of Critical Race Theory: An Introduction “A powerful, probing account of the idea of the ‘Han Chinese’—that deceptive category which, like ‘American,’ is so often presented as a natural default, even though it really is of recent vintage. A feast for both Sinologists and comparativists everywhere.” Magnus Fiskesjö, Cornell University eScholarship provides open access, scholarly publishing services to the University of California and delivers a dynamic research platform to scholars worldwide.
