Multiple cards in one place
Multiple Cards in One Place" pertains to the circumstance where multiple protected areas (PAs) are designated within the same geographical expanse, and natural resources are managed by multiple departments in an interlaced fashion, resulting in an inflated total PA area and impeding the achievement of the 30 × 30 target proposed at COP15.

Beyond hierarchies
Transformational leadership (TFL) is often regarded as an ideal managerial approach, particularly in social work studies, where scholars have long examined its strong association with enhanced social workers’ performance. However, recent research suggests that the effect of TFL may be overstated. This study investigates the relative importance of vertical TFL and horizontal workplace social capital (WSC) in predicting two key employee performance…

A Creator of the World and a Counter-Myth
In the story “Mending Heaven,” Nüwa was an imperfect creator and re-creator who was banished from the origin myths. Her action led to a series of beginnings: the beginnings of space, time, the human race, and the human actions of tears and laughter, as well as the beginnings of the turning point of “possession,” as human history began its journey through jealousy, hatred, begging, scheming, trickery and warfare, and produced the moral order that …

"Wang Hui asks what it means for China to be modern and for modernity to be Chinese. Is there a rupture between tradition and modernity in China? How has Confucian thought evolved?

Théorie, pratique et interprétation historique. Réponses à des doctorants de l’université de New York
Dans cet entretien, inédit en langue occidentale, Wang Hui aborde les rapports entre pensée politique et pratiques de la révolution. Prenant comme point de départ les Thèses sur Feuerbach de Marx, il explore la façon dont cette question a été appréhendée dans la philosophie (Platon, Kant, Deleuze, Spivak...) ainsi que, dans le contexte chinois, par Mao Zedong et le mouvement communiste. Wang approfondit également la conception gramscienne de l’in…

Contact network analysis of Covid-19 Delta variant outbreak in urban China —based on 2,050 confirmed cases in Xi’an, China
By integrating COVID-19 case reports of a Chinese city, we construct a contact network to analyze the dispersion of the outbreak. The network is a scale-free network with multiple hidden pathways that are not detected. The intervals of patients in this outbreak decreased compared to the beginning of the outbreak in 2020. City lockdown has a significant effect on the intervals that can affect patients' network centrality. Our study highlights the …

The Humanities in China
Although the humanities in China have enjoyed a long and rich tradition, they emerged only relatively recently as a separate group of university disciplines. In the classical period, learning in China was categorized according to diverse schemes such as the Six Arts, the Seven Epitomes, or the Four Branches. Research and education took place in different institutions: schools of classical learning; the Imperial College; academies as schools of pr…

Translation between two imperial discourses
The first British embassy to China headed by Lord Macartney brought into contact two imperial discourses, each vying to subject the other to its own vision of world order. Translations produced in such a context have much to reveal about the relationship between empire, discourse and translation. This article revisits two letters from King George III to the Qianlong emperor and their four Chinese versions made by translators on both sides, focusi…

Twentieth-Century China as an Object of Thought
This two-part article explores the question of how to constitute China in the twentieth century as an object of thought. This means, first of all, releasing the twentieth century from the position of being a mere object, such that one no longer regards this era as an annotation or appendage to contemporary value systems and ideologies, but instead approaches it as a process in which, passing through the liberation of the object, we may reconstruc…
Twentieth-Century China as an Object of Thought
This article situates the birth of the twentieth century within the conditions of a spatial revolution. Proceeding from the dimension of horizontal temporality, it analyses anew the problem of “origins” as well as the era’s “politics of displacement” and “politics of self-negation.” A salient phenomenon of cultural politics in the twentieth century was the horizontal movement of concepts, a formulation of how historical content from different tem…

Trans-systemic Society and Regional Perspective in Chinese Studies
This essay proposes to establish a connection between the concept of “trans-systemic society” and the concept of “region” mainly for two reasons. On the one hand, the idea of region, which is distinct both from nation-state and from ethnicity, and which is based on a special human geography and culture, is uniquely hybrid, fluid, and integrated. Thus, it affords us a perspective that transcends nationalism with which to reinterpret China and its …

Contemporary Chinese Thought and the Question of Modernity
The year 1989 was a historical watershed; nearly a century of socialist Translated by experimentation came to an end. Two worlds became one: a global-capiRebecca E. Karl talist world. Although China's socialism did not collapse as did the Soviet Union's or Eastern Europe's, this was hardly a barrier to China's quickly joining the globalizing process in the arenas of the economy, production, and trade.

Whither China
Whither China? presents an in-depth and wide-angled picture of Chinese intellectual life during the last decade of the millennium, as China struggled to move beyond the shadow of the Tiananmen tragedy. Because many cultural and intellectual paradigms of the previous decade were left in ruins by that event, Chinese intellectuals were forced in the early 1990s to search for new analytical and critical frameworks. Soon, however, they found themselve…

Research into indigenization of educational sociology cannot be separated from studies into the indigenization of social sciences. Hence we shall go beyond the disciplinary bounds of educational sociology and touch on other social s…

Reclaiming Asia From the West
Many Asians are now debating the idea of Asia. Some want to create a regional system in opposition to neo-liberal imperialism. Others want to transcend nationalism, which they regard as outmoded, and to create a fresh sense of Asian identity that does not depend on the old, and western-invented, dichotomy of East and West
