  • 9/27 Conference: Modern Chinese Political Thought

    “Key Texts in Modern Chinese Political Thought: Late Qing to Republican China”

    Date: September 27-28

    Location: University of Connecticut-Hartford

     

    This conference focuses on selected “key texts” in Chinese political thought from roughly the first half of the twentieth century.  Conference papers analyze texts in terms of their sources and argumentation, their position in the discursive field, and their contribution to political theory.  The conference as a whole ask what counts as political theory, what political theorists might learn from China, and how to construct a larger list of key texts from China. 

     

    Conference organizers: Peter Zarrow, University of Connecticut; Thomas Fröhlich, Universität Hamburg. 

     

    The conference is sponsored by the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation and the University of Connecticut.
