  • Rethinking the Twentieth Century Denigration of Traditional Chinese Science And
    Rethinking the Twentieth Century Denigration of Traditional Chinese Science and Medicine in the Twenty-first Century Benjamin A. Elman Professor of East Asian Studies and History Princeton University Prepared for the 6th International Conference on The New Significance of Chinese Culture in the Twenty-first Century: "The Interaction and Confluence of Chinese and Non-Chinese Civilization," co-sponsored by the Himalaya Foundation and the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation, and held at the International Sinological Center at Charles University in Prague, The Czech Republic, November 1-2, 2003 Abstract: Western scholars and westernized Chinese scholars have often essentialized the European history of science as the universalist progress of knowledge. When Chinese studies of the natural world, her rich medieval traditions of alchemy, or pre-Jesuit mathematical and astronomical achievements are discussed, they are usually treated dismissively to contrast them with the triumphant objectivity and rationality of the modern sciences in Western Europe and the United States. Many twentieth century scholars were rightly convinced that pre-modern China had no industrial revolution and had never produced capitalism. As the evidence of a rich tradition of natural studies and medicine has accrued in volume after unrelenting volume of Joseph Needham's Science and Civilisation in China project after 1954, it has become harder and harder to gainsay it all as superstition or irrationality or inductive luck. Ironically, the long-term history of Western science has been decisively refracted when viewed through the lenses chronicling the demise of traditional Chinese natural studies, technology, and medicine. Study of pre-modern Chinese science, technology, and medicine has restored a measure of respect to traditional Chinese natural studies and thereby granted priority to research in areas where the received wisdom was suspect, based as it was on careless speculation about banal generalities.

  • Naval Warfare and the Refraction of China's Self-Strengthening Reforms
    Modern Asian Studies 38, 2 (2004), pp. 283–326. 2004 Cambridge University Press DOI:10.1017/S0026749X04001088 Printed in the United Kingdom Naval Warfare and the Refraction of China’s Self-Strengthening Reforms into Scientific and Technological Failure, 1865–18951 BENJAMIN A. ELMAN Princeton University In the 1950s and 1960s, Chinese, Western, and Japanese scholarship debated the success or failure of the government schools and regional arsenals established between 1865 and 1895 to reform Qing China (1644–1911). For example, Quan Hansheng contended in 1954 that the Qing failure to industrialize after the Taiping Rebellion (1850–64) was the major reason why China lacked modern weapons during the Sino-Japanese War.2 This position has been built on in recent reassessments of the ‘Foreign Affairs Movement’ (Yangwu yundong) and Sino-Japanese War of 1894–95 ( Jiawu zhanzheng) by Chinese scholars. They argue, with some dissent, that the inadequacies of the late Qing Chinese navy and army were due to poor armaments, insufficient training, lack of leadership, vested interests, lack of funding, and low morale. In aggregate, these factors are thought to demonstrate the inadequacies of the ‘Self- Strengthening era’ and its industrial programs.3 1 An earlier version was presented at the conference ‘The Disunity of Chinese Science,’ organized by Roger Hart (University of Texas, Austin), sponsored by the History of Science Program at the University of Chicago, May 10–12, 2002.My thanks to an anonymous reader who suggested parts to expand and who also dir- ected me to important recent work on the topic. 2 Quan Hansheng, ‘Jiawu zhanzhen yiqian de Zhongguo gongyehua yundong,’ Lishi yuyan yanjiusuo jikan 25, 1 (1954): 77–8.

Christian Jochim CONFUCIUS AND CAPITALISM: VIEWS OF CONFUCIANISM IN WORKS ON CONFUCIANISM AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Introduction In "the Myth of Confucian China," Laurence Thompson surveyed the development and nature of a certain bias in Chinese studies down into the 1970s: the tendency to consider all of Chinese culture "Confucian" (Thompson 1974). He indicated that this bias had its roots in attitudes formed among Chinese intellectuals during recent centuries, and that it had influenced Chinese studies for decades. In his own work on the religious dimension of Chinese culture, including the text Chinese Religion: An Introduction (Thompson 1988), he set out to correct this bias by striving to present Buddhist, Taoist, and "folk" traditions in China, alongside the Confucian tradition, as distinct traditions each worthy of scholarly attention and respect. Others working in this area during recent decades have also strived to use interpretive categories, especially "Confucianism" and "Taoism," very carefully.

  • Reforming Disability in China Ph.D
    Reforming disability in China a study in disability and development. Emma Victoria £tone Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. The University of Leeds, Department of Sociology & Social Policy and Department of East Asian Studies. September 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. Emma Victoria Stone Reforming disability in China: a study in disability and development Ph.D. September 1998 The thesis sits between three academic fields: disability studies, development studies and East Asian studies. It is an unusual but important study of disability in a non- western culture. The thesis is unusual because it explores macro-level (rather than grassroots) constructions of disability, focusing on institutions and ideologies. It is important because no-one has (to my knowledge) undertaken this kind of macro-level analysis on a developing country; and also (again, to my knowledge) because the story of the macro-level construction of disability in China has not been told before. In this thesis, evidence and arguments are put forward with reference to the historical construction of disability in imperial China (Chapter Three), in late Qing and early Republican China (Chapter Four) and in state socialist China under Mao Zedong (Chapter Five). These chapters explore the place of impairment in Confucian cosmologies; the imperial construction of an administrative category of disability; the influence of western ideas and institutions on internal Chinese debates about the body and nation; and the place of disability and disabled people in state socialist China.

    Cold War Cosmopolitanism: The Asia Foundation and 1950s Korean Cinema Christina Klein Journal of Korean Studies, Volume 22, Number 2, Fall 2017, pp. 281-316 (Article) Published by Columbia University, The Center for Korean Research in the Weatherhead East Asian Institute DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/jks.2017.0014 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/681421 Access provided by Boston College (16 Jan 2018 18:27 GMT) Cold War Cosmopolitanism: The Asia Foundation and 1950s Korean Cinema Christina Klein South Korean films first became visible on the world stage in the late 1950s when they began to be exhibited and win prizes at international film festivals. Yi Pyŏngil’s The Wedding Day (1956) and Han Hyŏngmo’s Because I Love You (1958) were among Korea’s earliest award-winning films. These two films exemplify a postcolonial and postwar discourse I am calling “Cold War cosmopolitanism.” The cultivation of this cosmopolitan ethos among cultural producers was a major objective for Americans waging the cultural Cold War in Asia, and the Asia Foundation was Washington’spri- mary instrument for doing so. This article traces the history of the Asia Foundation from its inception in the National Security Council in the late 1940s through its activities in Korea in the 1950s and early 1960s. It pays particular attention to the foundation’ssup- port for Korean participation in the Asian Film Festival. It offers a close textual and historical reading of Yi’s and Han’s films as a means of exploring how Korean cultural producers, acting as Cold War entrepreneurs, took advantage of the Asia Foundation’s resources in ways that furthered their own aesthetic, economic, and political interests.
