SUMMARY:Unpacking China: An International Symposium
DESCRIPTION:\n	Sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, the C
 hiang Ching-Kuo Foundation\, and the Harvard-Yenching Institute.\n\n\n	Is 
 China\, as Lucian Pye once described it\, a "civilization pretending to be
  a state" or as modern and cohesive a nation-state as any other? Does Chin
 a include the "eighteen provinces" of the Qing Empire\, or does it barely 
 extend past the Central Plain? Is there a variety of Chinese dialects or a
 re there several Sinitic languages? Recent scholarship in both Sinophone a
 nd Anglophone spheres has come increasingly to treat “China” and Chine
 seness as intellectual problems deserving of careful\, critical considerat
 ion from a range of disciplines\, among them history\, political science\,
  anthropology\, sociology\, literature\, and linguistics. This symposium w
 ill bring together scholars and students from diverse disciplinary backgro
 unds to define problems\, raise concerns\, offer approaches and ideas\, an
 d evaluate prior research on the matter of China as an imaginary\, as an o
 bject of knowledge\, and as an object of cognition.\n\n	Participation by i
 nvitation only.
