Kang Youwei Engages India His Travel Narratives (1901–1902) and Predicaments of Civilization and Nation

Kang Youwei Engages India His Travel Narratives (1901–1902) and Predicaments of Civilization and Nation

This book is the first annotated translation of the travelogues of Kang Youwei one of the most famous intellectuals and modernisers of late 19th-century China. These travelogues offer insights into Kang’s perceptions of India which influenced modern intellectual discourse on India in China. These perceptions not only had a great impact on the thinking of other intellectuals but were also responsible for the larger construct that China developed about India during the republican and post-liberation period. The texts provide meaning to many dilemmas and predicaments that enshrouded the concept of civilisation and its linkages with the modern concepts of nationalism and modernity in Asian countries such as China and India. They are a valuable prism in gauging the early 20th-century intellectual and Chinese moderniser mind as it grappled with the challenges and uncertainties of those times. An important contribution to the study of Sino-Indian interactions the book will be an indispensable resource for students and researchers of nation nationalism civilisation empire modern history translation studies Chinese Studies and Asian studies. | Kang Youwei Engages India His Travel Narratives (1901–1902) and Predicaments of Civilization and Nation

Ocean as Method Thinking with the Maritime

Ocean as Method Thinking with the Maritime

Ocean as Method presents a new way of thinking about the humanities and the social sciences. It explores maritime connections in social and humanistic research and puts forward an alternative to national histories and area studies. As global warming and rising sea levels ring alarm bells across the world the chapters in the volume argue that it is time to think through oceans to realign discourses which better understand our future. The volume: • Engages with the paradigms of oceanic narratives to identify connections between continents through trade migration and economic processes thinking beyond the artificial distinctions between the Pacific Atlantic and Indian Oceans; • Discusses oceanic travel accounts by Muslim travellers to counter the idea that the colonial era was marked by European travel to Asia and Africa without a counterflow of “native travel”; •Examines the connections between South Africa South Asia and South East Asia through histories of Indian indenture and the slave trade and engages with the idea of the ocean and enforced movement; •Compares and connects recent scholarship in the social sciences and the humanities centring the ocean to break away from inherited paradigms which have shaped world history so far. As a unique transdisciplinary collaboration this volume will be of much interest to scholars and researchers of history especially oceanic history historiography critical theory literature geography and Global South studies. | Ocean as Method Thinking with the Maritime
