Inheritance within Rupture: Culture and Scholarship in Early Twentieth Century China: Brill's Humanities in China Library, cartea 7

Autor Zhitian Luo Lane Harris, Chun Mei
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 ian 2015
In Inheritance within Rupture, Luo Zhitian brings together ten essays to explore the themes of change and continuity, rupture and inheritance from the late Qing through the early Republic (1890s-1940s). Rejecting binaries such as tradition/modernity, conservative/liberal, Luo blurs the divisions between intellectual opponents and clarifies the divergences between scholarly friends. Centering these discussions around some of the most famous intellectual debates in the modern period, Luo challenges our understanding of ideological positions, political affiliation, and scholarly identity in early twentieth-century China. By focusing on the influence of cultural inheritance within the rupture of modernity, we come to understand those concerns shared by all Chinese in their own times and in the present.

Recenzii

"Professor Luo Zhitian's collected volume on the multi-layered bases of modem Chinese intellectual transformations from the post-Boxer Rebellion years to the May Fourth New Culture era, Inheritance within Rupture: Culture and Scholarship in Early Twentieth Century, makes an important contribution to English academia. [...] the translators have made this book readable and intellectually accesible in English."
– Nagatomi Hirayama, University of Nottingham Ningbo China, in Frontiers of History in China 12.2 (August 2017).

"A masterful as well as a very engaging piece of an important episode in contemporary China. On the one hand, it demonstrates the ways in which Chinese scholars tried to improve China’s cultural status in the world. On the other hand, it is a clear narrative, which makes it a valuable addition to the literature on China’s culture from the late Qing Dynasty through the early Republic era. This book will rightfully be of interest to scholars engaged in scholarly community and ideology in China (1890s-1940s), and it is a worthy addition to the shelf of any individual interested in the evolution of China’s culture and scholarship in China (1890s-1940s)."
