SUMMARY:Crisscrossing China: Literature and Thoughts from Late Qing to Earl
 y Republican China
DESCRIPTION:\n	A workshop organized by David Der-wei Wang\, Huaiqing Duan\
 , and Uganda Sze-pui Kwan\; Sponsored by the Harvard-Yenching Institute\n
 \n\n	\n		Overview\n	\n		The conceptual models of understanding China in a 
 dichotomized logic of “Western impact/ China response” and “Traditio
 n and Modernity” have been severely challenged in recent years. But we m
 ust admit that these paradigmatic models have called forth enough attentio
 n in the study of China at the period when she was positioned in a histori
 cal crossroad. China\, like all other nations and societies\, is always in
  a constant change by receiving and reacting to new challenges from the wo
 rld. After the inception of the Late Qing Studies three decades ago\, the 
 study of the period from late Qing to early Republican has developed up to
  multifaceted and multi-dialogic levels\, but there are still many themes 
 in the areas of thought\, literature\, religion and politics which are yet
  to be fully explored. The questions of how to theorize and to apply the c
 onceptual models in modern China with the recently emerging historicity ar
 e therefore a pending task.\n	\n		Early cross-cultural contacts are inevit
 ably based upon the processes of imagining and conceptualizing through mis
 understandings and stereotypical constructions. Late Qing society was not 
 different. When the Chinese elites and the general public had been exposed
  to the dialogic platform presented by missionaries\, traders\, diplomats\
 , the making of new knowledge of China reached a new height.\n	\n		The wor
 kshop seeks to further explore and understand the crisscrossing trajectory
  of the east-west\, old-new and tradition-modern interactions through a co
 ntextualized study of archival materials\, close reading of textual eviden
 ce and critical analysis of the historicity and fictionality embedded in r
 esources related to modern China from late Qing to early republican period
