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

Type: Workshop
Date: September 27-28
Location: University of Connecticut-Hartford
Subject Field: Modern China

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.  As well, paper-givers will be asked to contribute to a discussion on what might constitute a list of such key texts.  

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

All are invited to attend, but space is limited, so registration is required.
