The German-Chinese University in Qingdao as a Space of Circulation During the Late Qing and Early Republican Era The Case of the Reform of Chinese Penal Law: The Case of the Reform of Chinese Penal La…
This paper reconstructs and analyses the dialogue between conservative German legal scholars and Chinese officials involved in the reform of Chinese penal law during the late Qing period. It shows that, to some extent, the colonial setting – and the German-Chinese University in Tsing-tao as a very special space of circulation – offered opportunities for a surprisingly multi-faceted Sino-German intellectual exchange. It also makes clear that not o…
Spaces of Circulation: Knowledge Production Between China and the West
Due to a combination of academic, geopolitical, and economic factors, research into the production of new knowledge in and about China has significantly accelerated around the verge of the twenty-first century. Most studies on the period of the early Christian mission in China were based on the assumption that it were the very same actors – mainly missionaries and a very limited number of Chinese scholar-officials – who played an important role f…
Nicholas K. Menzies, Ordering the Myriad Things. From Traditional Knowledge to Scientific Botany in China
Until a couple of years ago, research into the history of modern China’s science and technology was low on the list of priorities. This has fundamentally changed and since the early 2000s there is a wave of ever more sophisticated research on the topic. The book under review here is representative for this important line of research. Nicholas Menzies looks into the development of modern botany in China, mainly focusing on the period from the midd…
Stealthily Breaching Dikes and the Bare Sticks Substatute: Notes on Some Legal Aspects of River Hydraulics in Late Imperial China
Human-induced breaches in the dikes of the major river systems were a common phenomenon in late imperial China. The article examines cases mainly related to the Yellow River and how these cases were dealt with on the basis of the legal code. While the extensive coverage of such cases in legal documents is an important reminder of the high degree of attention that the state paid to hydraulic installations, the phenomenon also needs to be understoo…

New maps for the modernizing state: Western cartographic knowledge and its application in 19th and 20th century China
With the coming of Western surveying and cartographic knowledge to China it became common to establish parallels between the Chinese surveying and cartographic tradition and the new knowledge from the West. This chapter outlines some aspects of the modernization of surveying and mapping techniques and institutions during the last 60 years of the Qing dynasty. It is shown in the chapter that large scale surveying and mapping projects by employing …
New terms for new ideas: Western knowledge and lexical change in Late Imperial China
This volume is about the lasting impact of new (Western) notions on the 19th and early 20th century Chinese language; their invention, spread and standardization. Topics examined range from preconceptions about the capacity of the Chinese language to accommodate foreign ideas, the formation of specific nomenclatures and the roles of individual translators, to Chinese and European attempts at coming to terms with each other's grammar. A valuable r…
New Terms for New Ideas: Western Knowledge and Lexical Change in Late Imperial China
This volume is about the lasting impact of new (Western) notions on the 19th and early 20th century Chinese language; their invention, spread and standardization. Reaching beyond the mere cataloguing of the thousands of lexical innovations in this period of change, the essays explore the multiple ways in which initially alien notions were naturalized in Chinese scientific and political discourse. Topics examined range from preconceptions about th…
