  • Editor's Word Understanding the History of Catholicism in Hong Kong
    《天主教研究學報》〈二十世紀香港天主教歷史〉 第七期 2016 年 Editor’s Word Understanding the history of Catholicism in Hong Kong means understanding Hong Kong's history. From the Diocesan records, after the opening of the colony in 1841, the Hong Kong Catholic Mission was concurrently. Hong Kong and this Western religion began to establish a formal relationship with the growth of the colony. Missionaries from the West began to move from Portuguese-occupied Macau to Hong Kong. Since the 1860s, the Hong Kong Catholic Mission had expanded to Xin'an, Huiyang, Haifeng and Shanwei. Missionaries from the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Mission (P.I.M.E.) used Hong Kong as a stepping stone to enter the Mainland China for service. However, the political turmoil in the interior of China since the 1900s, such as the Boxer Uprising and the Eight-Power Allied Forces, made it difficult for the mainland to evangelize. Hong Kong was separated from the mainland because of its colonial status and so as its political system, she had not been tremendously hit by such political adversities. Coupled with the cession of the Kowloon Peninsula, the colonial government accelerated its development. Since the establishment of military camps in Chatham Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, at the southern tip of the peninsula, the proliferation of Catholics (the majority of which were Portuguese) indirectly contributed to the development of Catholicism in the peninsula by leaps and bounds. During the period of the Republic of China, there was continued political turmoil in South China together with the frequent occurrences of the conflicts between the nationals and the Catholics.

    WHAT IF THE ENVIRONMENT IS A PERSON? Lineages of Epigenetic Science in a Toxic China JANELLE LAMOREAUX University of Cambridge http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4031-4437 The walk from the university toxicology laboratory to the children’s hospital is not far; Wang Bo and I have plenty of time to stop at a sidewalk fruit vendor’s stand to purchase a watermelon, a gift we will present to the staff at the hospital. Today we will meet with Lin Ming to discuss his life as a medical student, charged with treating infants who have a variety of conditions requiring neonatal surgery. Lin and I know each other from the developmental and reproductive toxicology laboratory where I conducted the bulk of my fieldwork. There, Lin prepared and analyzed samples for studies on the potential epigenetic factors involved in the development of congenital disorders. While Lin’s work in the lab centered on test tubes and tissue samples, his professional life in the children’s hospital rotates around distressed children and their anxious family members. Wang, my colleague from the laboratory, and I maneuver through the crowds of parents and grandparents gathered around sidewalk vendors selling balloons and plastic toys for the children being treated inside. On entering the hospital, I am struck by the sheer number of family members that accompany each child. Together, multiple generations sit on every available chair and bench, standing at every corner and window of the waiting room. We board the elevator, where children and infants with bandages and face masks sit on the hips of their caretakers, meeting us at eye level.

It also insists on the inseparability of the non-Han nationalities as an integrated part of Zhonghua minzu. This dissertation traces the origin of this nationalism to the two major waves of scientific investigation in the fields of paleoanthropology and anthropology in the Chinese frontier during the first half of the twentieth century. Prevailing theories and discoveries in the two scientific disciplines inspired the ways in which the Chinese intellectuals constructed their national identity. The first wave concerns the international quest for human ancestors in North China and the northwestern frontier in the 1920s and 1930s.

  • YANFEI SUN the Eschatological Resolution and The
    YANFEI SUN The Eschatological Resolution and the Reconstruction Of Christianity: Conversion to Christianity among Mainland Chinese Students in the United States (Under the Direction of LINDA M. GRANT) The collective conversion to Christianity of mainland Chinese students in America has been noticeable since the early 1990s. My empirical study shows that the social-cultural context of mainland China is the point of departure to explain this religious movement. Psychic deprivation and moral crisis in contemporary Chinese society are among the most important factors that have led Chinese students to seek religious resolution. Upon examining how the barriers that have prevented Chinese intellectuals from accepting Christianity have been cleared up and analyzing why Buddhism is less influential among the Chinese student community, I suggested that Christianity, after the active and effective reconstruction by the Chinese Christian organizations, became compatible with the scientific, rational and modernistic ideology of mainland Chinese students. It is on this ground that Christianity is accepted while Buddhism is rejected by Chinese students. Thus, the importance of frame alignment is highlighted.

  • The West in the East Chinese Anthropologies in the Making
    The 4th JASCA International Symposium Keynote Lecture 1 The West in the East Chinese Anthropologies in the Making Mingming Wang Peking University Abstract: Focusing upon the disciplinary formations of Chinese anthropology in the pre-war years (1929-1945), the author examines the “contests” between the varied sub-traditions, chiefly including the Yanda school of sociological ethnography and Academia Sinica school of historical ethnology. These scholarly traditions were invented by different groups of newly returned “students studying abroad” (liuxuesheng) who, having learnt sociology, anthropology, and ethnology in different Western nations, brought home different conceptions of the disciplines. As the author argues, the formations were derived from “Westernization”; but neither were they the same, nor were they opposed to “indigenization.” As varied approaches to disciplinary modernity, they were different combinations of Western and Eastern discourses, each of which was in turn internally varied. Despite their origins in “international exchanges,” they did not develop any concept of internationality or, from Marcel Mauss’s perspective, “civilization.” The problem has continued to trouble Chinese anthropologists in the past decades. Key words: Westernization, Disciplinary Formations, Anthropology, Sub-Traditions, Internationality Acknowledgements The piece was presented as a special lecture at the 4th workshop on “The Nationalization and Globalization of East Asian Anthropology” held on 28 December 2017 in Tokyo. I thank the president of the Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology, Professor Motoji Matsuda, and Professor Hironao Kawai for inviting me. I also thank Professor Yoshio Watanabe for encouragement and Professors Byung-Ho Chung, Zhou Xing, Katsumi Nakao, Liu Zheng’ai, and Takami Kuwayama for the inspiring remarks they made during and after the workshop.

  • Structures of Hosting in a South-Western Chinese Town
    Structures of hosting in a south-western Chinese town Thomas Niall McDonald University College London Department of Anthropology A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2013 1 Declaration I, Thomas Niall McDonald, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis focuses on the materiality of hospitality situations in an industrial county- level town in south-west China, and its rural peripheries. Using ethnographic data, it demonstrates the movement of structures of habituated hospitality practices from ‘guest hall’ rooms in homes to a plethora of new commercial venues that have emerged in the town during the ‘reform and opening’ period. The first half of the thesis illustrates how, in the domestic sphere, these layouts serve to create a locale around which the family is both literally and metaphorically arranged, but also as a key site in which the family attempts to manage and control their interactions with non-family guests. In recent years, the expectations that hosting situations should be ever more exuberant in nature (typified by the creation of large amounts of ‘social heat’) has resulted in such gatherings being considered increasingly unsuitable for the home environment, which is progressively being reconceptualised as a location for ‘relaxation’. The second half of the thesis focuses upon the town’s commercial venues, examining both the material environment and social interactions taking place within, to demonstrate the similarities that exist between these spaces and the home’s guest hall.
