Political Communication in Chinese and European History, 800–1600
For at least the last thirty years rumors have been circulating that edited volumes are on the way out, that presses are no longer interested in publishing collections of conference papers, and that, if they are to appear together, workshopped articles are best published in journals. Happily, these reports appear to be not entirely true, and on occasion we have the opportunity of adding to our libraries that rara avis: the tightly edited, well-wr…

La Chine modern: Les Mandchous et la définition de la nation
Est-il nécessaire de rappelercombien il fallut attendre pour que les intellectuels de culture européenne acceptent l'idée que la Chine ait une histoire - comme la France, l'Allemagne ou l'Angleterre -, et pas simplement un passé? Un rapide survol des écrits qui furent consacrés à l'' empire du Milieu ' au cours des cent soixante-dix dernières années environ témoigne d'un grand intérêt pour le sujet, souvent de connaissances considérables, mais su…
Time, temporality, and imperial transition: East Asia from Ming to Qing
Time is basic to human consciousness and action, yet paradoxically historians rarely ask how it is understood, manipulated, recorded, or lived. Cataclysmic events in particular disrupt and realign the dynamics of temporality among people. For historians, the temporal effects of such events on large polities such as empires—the power projections of which always involve the dictation of time—are especially significant. This important and intriguing…
New Qing Imperial History: The Making of Inner Asian Empire at Qing Chengde
New Qing Imperial History uses the Manchu summer capital of Chengde and associated architecture, art and ritual activity as the focus for an exploration of the importance of Inner Asia and Tibet to the Qing Empire (1636-1911). Well-known contributors argue that the Qing was not simply another Chinese dynasty, but was deeply engaged in Inner Asia not only militarily, but culturally, politically and ideologically.Emphasizing the diverse range of pe…

The Manchu Way: The Eight Banners and Ethnic Identity in Late Imperial China
In 1644, the Manchus, a relatively unknown people inhabiting China’s rude northeastern frontier, overthrew the Ming, Asia’s mightiest rulers, and established the Qing dynasty, which endured to 1912. From this event arises one of Chinese history’s great conundrums: How did a barely literate alien people manage to remain in power for nearly 300 years over a highly cultured population that was vastly superior in number? This problem has fascinated s…
The Manchu-Language Archives of the Qing Dynasty and the Origins of the Palace Memorial System
One of the more noteworthy recent trends in scholarship on late imperial Chinese and Inner Asian history is the growing recognition of the importance of Manchu as a research language. This change owes principally to two developments. One is the opening, beginning in the late 1970s, of the First Historical Archives of China (FHA) to general scholarly use. This liberalization inaugurated an ongoing process of discovery that has enabled historians t…
The Limits of Tartary: Manchuria in Imperial and National Geographies
This essay examines the transformation from undifferentiated frontier to geographic region of that part of northeast Asia controversially referred to as Manchuria. This transition-from space to place, as it were-long has tended to be seen primarily in terms of the extension of colonial interests into China in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. However, as I shall argue, the invention of this place began much earlier, in the seventeenth centu…
Manchu Widows and Ethnicity in Qing China
Like women in many parts of the world whose husbands predeceased them, widows in China were free electrons, unbound elements in the social chemistry. Economically vulnerable, ritually superfluous, and at the same time socially destabilizing and sexually threatening, they were archetypal liminal figures—marginalized, caricatured, and feared. This has made the widow a good subject for literary critics, anthropologists, and historians interested in …
