Imagining the People: Chinese Intellectuals and the Concept of Citizenship, 1890-1920

This textbook acquaints readers with the major federal statutes and regulations that control management and employment practices in the American workplace. The material is presented from the perspective that the human resource professional is the employers representative and is, therefore, responsible for protecting the employers interests and reducing the employers exposure to litigation through monitoring activities and viable employee policies. The book is designed as a tool for todays business and management professionals, and unlike some other texts in the field, maintains a pro-business or pro-management approach. The authors have skilfully crafted Employment Regulation in the Workplace to be an effective learning tool. Each chapter opens with learning objectives and an example scenario, and each chapter contains plenty of illustrative figures, boxes, and diagrams. Chapters conclude with a listing of key terms, questions for discussion, and two case exercises. The book also includes a comprehensive bibliography.

Politics and Sinology: The Case of Naito Konan (1866-1934)

Naito Konans periodization of Chinese history is responsible for shaping the twentieth-century Western view of China. Naito was a journalist in the vibrant Meiji press for twenty years, during which he became recognized as Japans leading Sinologist. He then assumed a chair in China Studies at Kyoto University, where he taught for twenty years, remaining all the while a prolific writer on public affairs. Joshua Fogels biography treats Naito holistically, pointing up the intricate connections between his Sinological and political interests. As a part of an ongoing tradition based in jitsugaku (concern with the practical applications of knowledge), Naito focused on what he took to be Japans mission, after its own Meiji reforms, to help China implement comparable reforms. His emphasis on Chinese history and culture as the central influence in East Asia strengthened his Pan-Asian political convictions. Fogels study offers a penetrating look at a scholar-journalist whose influence, fifty years after his death, is still powerful.

The Recent Boom in Shanghai Studies

Since the mid-1980s there has been a great deal of scholarly interest focused on the history of modern Shanghai. In association with the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, both the University of California at Berkeley and Cornell University were recipients of Luce Foundation grants that brought Shanghai scholars to North America, resulting in an outpouring of books and articles. In addition, there has been a simultaneous surge of interest among Japanese scholars and, on a smaller scale, French and German scholars. A significant slice of this new research focuses on cultural and intellectual history. This essay examines much of that new material and suggests reasons for why such a development has taken place.

Between China and Japan

Over the past thirty-five years, Joshua Fogel has pioneered the study of Sino-Japanese cultural and political relations-understood as the intersections of the histories of these two countries. This volume brings together many of his essays and reviews in this new field. For a variety of reasons discussed within, scholars have been reluctant to look at these two nations historical connections, either through comparative analysis or actual interactions. Fogels work has focused squarely here. Among the issues addressed are Japanese scholarly views of modern China and Chinese history, Chinese considerations of the Japanese language in the Ming and Qing periods, the Japanese immigration to the East Asian Mainland (especially to Shanghai and Harbin), and more.

2011 Arthur O. Lovejoy Lecture The Gold Seal of 57 ce and the Afterlife of an Inanimate Object

This essay operates on the assumption that objects can inspire thought, and thought can generate debate, and the consequences of that debate can be of ontological importance. Thus, the inanimate object plays no “conscious” role in engendering ideas, but humans invest in it a range of meanings which can reach levels of great cultural and historical significance. The object in question is a golden seal, presently on display in the Fukuoka City Museum in Japan.

Preface: Traditions of East Asian Travel

As is certainly true elsewhere in the world, the East Asian region has its own traditions of travel and travel writing (Fogel 1996: 13–42; Strassberg 1994). These date back many centuries and until relatively recently continued to influence the ways in which men and women actually travelled (how they moved from place to place, what itineraries they followed, and the like) and the genres of travel writings that they produced (prose, poetry and combinations of the two, e.g. Yosano 2001). Tracing the origins and influences of these traditions as well as understanding the impact exerted by Chinese traditions on those of Japan and elsewhere in the region remain important scholarly desiderata. In the essays that follow, we have less wide-ranging goals. We aim at demonstrating the power and potential of travel writing within the literary traditions of early modern and modern China and Japan. These temporal frames are purposefully vague. It is, however, generally agreed that China entered a qualitatively new era in numerous areas of culture, society and economy in the Song dynasty (960–1276), one that many associate with modernity and most would be willing to accept as early modernity. Japan, most agree, entered early modernity in the Tokugawa (or Edo) period (1600–1868) and modernity with the Meiji era (1868–1912). The Song era provides the background for the essay by James Hargett on the Chinese literary master Su Dongpo (1037–1101) and his travel poetry. Steven Carter takes a remarkably similar phenomenon of travel poetry writing for Edo-period Japan by looking at a number of works by Reizei Tamemura (1712–74). Both examine how travel necessitated the

Japanese Cultural Policy toward China, 1918-1931: A Comparative Perspective

Most scholarship on Japans cultural policy towards modern China reflects the paradigm of cultural imperialism. In contrast, this study demonstrates that Japan - while motivated by pragmatic interests, international cultural rivalries, ethnocentrism, moralism, and idealism - was mindful of Chinese opinion and sought the cooperation of the Chinese government. Japanese policy stressed cultural communication and inclusivness rather than cultural domination and exclusiveness, and was part of Japans search for an East Asian cultural order led by Japan. China, however, was not a passive recipient and actively sought to redirect this policy to serve its national interests and aspitations. See Heng Teow argues that it is time to move away from the framework of cultural imerialism towards one that recognizes the importance of cultural autonomy, internationalism, and transculturation.
