Abstract:
In the Intellectual History of China Studies: Colonialism, Religion, and Their Post-Chinese Consequences
在中國研究知識史的脈絡中活躍：殖民主義、宗教及其衍生的後華性現象
The two most recent outputs of the project on intellectual history of China studies critically reflect on the colonial and the religious constitution of China studies and China scholars. They review multiple routs of self-constitution and reconstitution of China scholars according to their use of China and Chineseness as category. On the colonial agenda, we are equally concerned about how our familiar lenses silence and suppress different others, in addition to how we, in ourselves, suffer silencing and suppression by legacies of former colonial relations. Therefore, we ask how China and Chineseness constitute the self-understandings of the colonial as well as the colonized and how various colonial relations constitute China and Chineseness differently and evolutionarily. On the religious agenda, we argue that the importance of religions in facilitating an approach to studying/understanding/enacting China is apparent; but how these religions function as a way to access deeper understanding depends on, in a nutshell, the choices of their believers as well as the perceived conditions of China. Together, the two agendas trace the multiplying of mini-versions of China and Chineseness and their ever changing intersections, to the result that references to China are by all means a transient type of post-Chineseness.
