Hello everyone, Our own Professor Naomi Standen is giving a talk titled "Taking China out of Premodern Global History" at Princeton on March 9 at 4:30PM (EST). Please follow the link for full details. https://humanities.princeton.edu/event/taking-china-out-of-premodern-global-history-bodies-threads-and-fabrics/ ‘China’ is a problematical concept for the premodern period because the name unavoidably invokes the fixity of a modern nation-state that maps poorly onto the various and ever changing political formations of earlier centuries. This talk takes technologies of the body – viewed through various aspects of textiles – as cases through which to reframe our understanding of premodern Eastern Eurasia with interactions and relationships at the core of a non-sinocentric analysis.
