Conceiving an Alternative
This article contributes to the hitherto limited scholarship on the Chinese federalist movement in the 1910s and 1920s by conducting a thorough investigation of its ideological underpinnings and political blueprints. It compares the federalist ideas, plans, and activism of three thinkers—Zhang Taiyan, Zhang Shizhao, and Chen Jiongming—who stood firmly against the centralist trajectory of state-building in China after 1911 and advocated the format…
Becoming China’s Baudelaire
This article explores Li Jinfa’s transformation from a work-study student to “China’s Baudelaire,” whose symbolist poetry features a distinctive “francophone foreignness.” It addresses the “language question”—specifically, French language acquisition and utilization—intrinsic to Chinese students’ encounters with Western thought, culture, and life in the early twentieth century.

Exploring the ideological …

Between 1919 and 1922, Chen Jiongming not on…
Forging a Women's United Front
