> Panel 4
> Chinese Intellectual History: Global and Local interactions
>
> This panel offers a platform to explore how knowledge is constructed,
> classified and canonized in traditional and modern China. Within this
> theme, special attention is paid to how local and global dynamics
> influence each other and how new systems of knowledge are developed.
> It sees encounters of knowledge with different origins as a
> trans-cultural process which neither implies a one way process of
> transmission and reception nor results in a fundamental break with a
> local past. It deals with issues such as universality and
> particularity in scientific classification, characteristics of Chinese
> classical studies, and the re-categorization of concepts such as li
> (ritual, propriety) into religion, education and custom in traditional
> and modern China.
>
> We look for two more MPhil or PhD students interested in presenting a
> case study within the outlined framework. We can, unfortunately, not
> guarantee re-imbursement for travelling costs yet, but will, in any
> case, be able to offer private housing.
>
> Please send a short CV which includes your contact details and an
> abstract on what you would like to present to Rens Krijgsman
> krijgsman.rens@gmail.com. The abstract should be no longer than one
> page and should reach us before June 8 2011.
