Global Conjectures
This volume deals with the integration of modern China into processes of global exchange and cross-border interaction. The articles explore the broader theme in different ways and in different subfields, ranging from the history of political ideas to the history of institutions, from global migration of people to the transmigration of academic discourses. Focusing on modern as well as contemporary periods, the studies demonstrate that China in the course of the twentieth century became an ever more important nodal point in a complex set of worldwide networks and engagements. The integration into global networks, together with the global consciousness that corresponded with it, made possible significant connections transcending national borders. The essays also show that the effects could be homogenizing (or globalizing), but at the same time the growing interactions also produced opposition and fragmentation.
Chinatowns in a Transnational World
This book explores the history, the reality, and the complex fantasy of American and European Chinatowns and traces the patterns of transnational travel and traffic between China, South East Asia, Europe, and the United States which informed the development of these urban sites. Despite obvious structural or architectural similarities and overlaps, Chinatowns differ markedly depending on their location. European versions of Chinatowns can certainly not be considered mere replications of the American model. Paying close attention to regional specificities and overarching similarities, Chinatowns thus discloses the important European backdrop to a phenomenon commonly associated with North Amer...
The History of Modern Chinese Grammar Studies
This book discusses the way Chinese scholars developed a national grammar. Chinese didn’t develop grammar until China’s contact with Western grammar books in the 19th Century. The first indigenous grammar was published in 1889. It included some traditional notions, but mainly imitated European grammar. It was followed by a number of other similar works. To move away from this imitation, a group of grammarians started to look into the Chinese tradition of commenting on classics. This led to a variety of alternative grammars. After the war, Western linguistics started to gain influence in China. With the establishment of the PRC in 1949, efforts began to have a standard grammar adopted nat...

"Den Chinesen ein Chinese werden"
Dieses Buch erzahlt die interessante Geschichte lediger Frauen, die - und das ist den wenigsten bekannt - schon von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts an nach China gingen, um den Beruf einer Missionarin auszuuben. Das Buch gibt nicht nur Auskunft uber einen fast unerforschten kirchlichen Frauenberuf, sondern die Geschichte und der Werdegang der Missionarinnen nimmt den Leser mit in eine ganz andere Kultur und in das jeweilige zeitgenossische politische Geschehen (z. B. Verstrickungen des Kolonialismus mit der Mission, spater der Beginn des Kommunismus in China). Auaerdem erfahrt man viel uber die zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen auf den Missionsstationen und die sich im Laufe der Zeit wandelnden Begegnungen zwischen Missionarinnen und Chinesen. Es gelingt der Autorin "aNeuland zu betreten und Lucken zu schlieaen. a Ihre Recherchen hat die Autorin durch neun Interviews mit noch lebenden Missionarinnen aus jener Zeit erganzt - ein Umstand, der dem Werk starke Authentizitat verleiht.

China und China-Erfahrung in Leben und Werk von Anna Seghers
Das vorliegende Buch rekonstruiert und analysiert als erste Studie dieser Art Anna Seghers' Begegnung mit den Chinesen, der chinesischen Kultur und Geschichte, der Politik sowie der Gesellschaft des Landes chronologisch. Durch die Darstellung und Analyse Seghers' China-Begegnung, und der Einflüsse auf ihr Leben und Werk wird eine seit Langem existierende Wissenslücke in der Seghers-Forschung geschlossen. Gleichzeitig bietet diese Arbeit neue Perspektiven und Ansätze für weitere Forschungen in verwandten Gebieten wie in der Sinologie, Politikwissenschaft und -geschichte, Kulturwissenschaft und der interkulturellen Kommunikation. Beim Arbeitsverfahren werden sinologische, geschichts-, kultur-, politik-, literatur- und kunstwissenschaftliche Methoden verwendet. Als eine der wichtigsten Quellengrundlagen dienen die Archivmaterialien des Anna-Seghers-Archivs in der Akademie der Künste in Berlin.
Ageing in Asia
The volume takes four key themes related to ageing – the experience of old age; intergenerational relations; economics of and social policy for ageing; longevity and the culture of ageing - and examines how these issues are emerging in different regions of Asia, specifically, the former Soviet Union, South Asia, China, Japan and South-East Asia. In placing these Asian cases studies in the broader context of debates about, and policies on, ageing more generally, it brings them into the mainstream of comparative research on ageing from which they have been too often excluded. As the studies show, the relationship between ageing and poverty is a complex one and often reflects policy towards the aged rather than that the aged themselves are unproductive and dependent. Ageing, moreover, can no longer be considered as simply a national question; we also need to consider the implications of its global dimension in terms of issues such as human rights and quality of life.
