SUMMARY:River\, Governance and Place: Sentiment in The Travels of Lao Can
DESCRIPTION:\n	Hsu Hui-Lin (Associate Professor\, Department of Chinese Lit
 erature\, National Taiwan University\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n\n	Chair/dis
 cussant: Karen Thornber (Professor of Comparative Literature and of East A
 sian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University)\n\n	 \n\n	Co-spons
 ored with the Asia Center and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n\
 n	Sentiment has been viewed as a major force of modernization. Studies in 
 the past decade are inclined to understand modern sentiment in early 1900s
  China in the context of metropolis growth. Liu E’s The Travels of Lao 
 Can (1903-1907)\, due to the author’s unprecedented assertion on the po
 wer of crying and overwhelming sentiment in its preface\, invites scholarl
 y attention to the role of the novel in understanding modern sentiment in 
 that particular period. However\, set mostly in rural areas of Shandong p
 rovince\, the novel is found difficult to fit into the urban experience b
 ased approach. Departing from the perspective of environmental history\,
  this talk addresses the relation between the shaping of the discourse 
 of sentiment in The Travels of Lao Can\, and the decades-long disastrou
 s Yellow River floods since 1855\, as well as the effort of river engineer
 ing where Liu E engaged himself as an active participant.
