  • Identity and Hybridity – Chinese Culture and Aesthetics in the Age of Globalization
    Identity and Hybridity – Chinese Culture and Aesthetics in the Age of Globalization Karl-Heinz Pohl Introduction: Culture and Identity Thirty years ago (1977), Thomas Metzger published a book which became well known in Sinological circles: Escape from Predicament: Neo-Confucianism and China’s Evolving Political Culture. In this book, Metzger discusses a serious problem Chinese scholars were confronted with at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century: the modernization of China and catching up with the West without giving up two thousand years of culturally valuable Confucian teachings. From the 1920s on, Confucian thought was replaced by Marxist ideology and, with the beginning of the Peoples’ Republic in 1949, the latter was firmly established as the new order of discourse. Metzger argues persuasively, however, in spite of all the new leftist ideology that poured into China after the May Fourth Movement of 1919, that Confucianism was not relegated to the museum of History of Philosophy in China as Joseph Levenson (in his Confucian China and its Modern Fate of 1958) had predicted. Instead, Confucian thought – as an integral part of the Chinese cultural psyche – survived and remained influential, though not visible, in shaping modern China. Even radicals of this time, such as Mao Tse-tung, although they attempted to give China a completely new ideological order, were formed by their cultural tradition to such an extent that it was impossible to shake it off completely. The above historical example is significant for our theme. It concerns the question of persistence of culture in the face of cultural encounters – both of the unfriendly kind, such as the first “clash of civilizations” between China and the West in the 19th century (after the Opium Wars), as well as of the latest and somewhat friendlier meeting, the process of mingling and interpenetration of cultures called globalization.1 Hence, the significance of culture and cultural identity in the age of globalization remains a question to be answered.

Through this examination my aim is to bring into greater relief some of the aspirations invested in guoxue by its contemporary protagonists, and also to highlight some of the conundrums associated with those aspirations. KEYWORDS : Guoxue, academic discipline, ruxue, ethnoepistemology, Chinese philosophy, cultural identity ust as the discourse on culture in 1980s China was dubbed by some a 53rd-generation descendant commentators as “culture fever” ( wenhuare ) and the rise of ruxue in of the poet Bai Juyi.…“My J the 1990s was referred to as “ ruxue fever,” so too the strong interest greatest talent is seduction, in guoxue over the past five or so years has been characterised as and not even Confucius is out “guoxue fever.” (1) Although much of the discourse on guoxue over the past of the question.

  • Academic Apologists for the KMT’S Authoritarian Rule: Ramon H
    1 Academic Apologists for the KMT’s Authoritarian Rule: Ramon H. Myers and Thomas A. Metzger By Linda Gail Arrigo, Ph.D. Sociology Post-Doctoral Scholar, Academia Sinica, Institute of Sociology Contacts: [email protected], Taipei (02) 2234-9680, 0928-899-931 Prepared for the North American Taiwan Studies Association Conference June 17-20, 2004, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu First Draft, June 15, 2004 Introduction This analysis of the writings of Ramon H. Myers, and secondarily Thomas A. Metzger, concerning Taiwan from 1980 to the present places them in the context of the political developments of this period. Basically Myers closely follows the themes of Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang, KMT) propaganda in various periods, from the suppression of the 1978-79 democratic movement in the name of KMT-defined social stability and anti-communism, through downplaying human rights issues in China for the sake of rapprochement, to decrying the rise of Taiwan nationalism accompanying the democratic election of Chen Shui-bian in 2000. The putative values of democracy and human rights that have been put forth in these writings are attenuated by the priority given to regime stability, economic growth and U.S. interests. The underlying assumptions of these writings are that elections and manifestations of intellectual expression in civil society are due to the benevolence of rulers, and martial law controls on speech and publication can be justified under the regime’s subjective need for legitimization. That is, human and civil rights are not an inalienable property of the people; in this respect, this author profoundly subverts commonly accepted standards of democracy.

  • DUAL ACCOUNTABILITY in HAN CHINA(Brown & Xie, 2007)
    BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH: DUAL ACCOUNTABILITY IN HAN CHINA* Miranda Brown University of Michigan Yu Xie University of Michigan _____________ *Correspondence: Miranda Brown (Email: [email protected]), Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, 202 S. Thayer Street, Ann Arbor MI 48104-1608, University of Michigan or Yu Xie (Email: [email protected]), Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan, 426 Thompson, Ann Arbor, MI 48106-1248. This research was supported by a research grant from the Rackham School of Graduate Studies and the Institute for the Humanities at the University of Michigan. BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH: DUAL ACCOUNTABILITY IN HAN CHINA Abstract Scholars have noticed that centrally-appointed officials in imperial China were not only beholden to their superiors but also acted as brokers of local interests. We characterize such a structural position as “dual accountability.” Although accountability to superiors is readily understandable within the Weberian framework of bureaucratic hierarchy, the reasons behind local responsiveness bear explanation. This paper attempts to explain such responsiveness by investigating the larger ideological, structural, and institutional contexts of the Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE). We explore two existing explanations – practical necessity and “Confucian” or classical paternalism – and add a new explanation of our own: the emphasis on virtuous reputations in the system of bureaucratic recruitment and promotion. Our argument is supported by empirical evidence from a range of sources, including administrative records and inscriptions on ancient stelae. More generally, we question Weber’s hypothesis that the Chinese imperial system of administration fit the ideal type of traditional bureaucracy, and we examine the rational bases underlying an “inefficient” system that was in place for two millennia.
