Making New Diplomatic History Matter, Through East Asia
At a moment when diplomacy keeps failing, new visions for a global diplomatic history are gaining urgency. How can New Diplomatic History become genuinely global rather than implicitly Western? This article argues that premodern East Asia offers not just additional case studies but alternative diplomatic logics, concepts, and archives to reshape the field. Focusing on collective poetry composition at envoy banquets – an East Asian lingua franca p…
The Birth Pangs of Globalizing Philosophy
This essay attempts to understand the forces behind the current deadlock over globalizing academic philosophy between main-stream Western-style philosophers and its currently marginalized diversity advocates. It first pinpoints what Western-style philosophers might consider threatening or simply uninteresting in some of the major diversity paradigms (“The Same,” “The Subaltern,” “The Samaritan,” and “The Area Studies Silo”). Second, it introduces…
Launching the Hsu-Tang Library of Classical Chinese Literature on the 250th Anniversary of the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries
This article takes the inauguration of the Hsu-Tang Library of Classical Chinese Literature as an opportunity to reflect on today's role of classical literatures and their importance to the transformation of the humanities. Edited by Wiebke Denecke and Lucas Klein and published by Oxford University Press, the library was established by a gift from Oscar L. Tang and Hsin-Mei Agnes Hsu-Tang-a descendant of Ji Yun, chief compiler of the Complete Lib…
Comparative Global Humanities Now
This essay proposes to energize the mission of the humanities by radically globalizing their subject matter and methods, taking inspiration from the world’s monumental archive of humanistic creativity over 5000 years of recorded experience. It advocates for Comparative Global Humanities as a crucial complement to the more presentist new humanities fields of medical, environmental, or public humanities. Comparative Global Humanities aims to be inc…

The Cambridge History of Japanese Literature
The Cambridge History of Japanese Literature provides, for the first time, a history of Japanese literature with comprehensive coverage of the premodern and modern eras in a single volume. The book is arranged topically in a series of short, accessible chapters for easy access and reference, giving insight into both canonical texts and many lesser known, popular genres, from centuries-old folk literature to the detective fiction of modern times. …

Classical World Literatures
This title captures the striking similarities between the ways early Japanese writers wrote their own literature through and against the literary precedents of China and the ways Latin writers engaged and contested Greek precedents
Chinese Antiquity and Court Spectacle in Early Kanshi
Obliged to give historical depth to an emerging literature, the compilers of the first kanshi anthologies adopted charismatic moments from Chinese literary history. Poets sympathized especially with courtly settings of Chinese antiquity: they evoked the Zhou court and its vassals at banquets for Korean envoys, performed phrases of the Analects at the Rites for Confucius, or replayed Han rhapsody recitation. The article contributes to studies of t…
