Technology, Gender and History in Imperial China: Great Transformations Reconsidered
ISBN: 9780415639590 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What can the history of technology contribute to our understanding of late imperial China? Most stories about technology in pre-modern China follow a well-worn plot: in about 1400 after an early ferment of creativity that made it the most technologically sophisticated civilisation in the world, China entered an era of technical lethargy and decline. But how are we to reconcile this tale, which portrays China in the Ming and Qing dynasties as a dying giant that had outgrown its own strength, with the wealth of counterevidence affirming that the country remained rich, vigorous and powerful...

The Rice Economies: Technology and Development in Asian Societies
ISBN: 9780520086203 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The contrast in the rate of growth between Western and Eastern societies since 1800 has caused Asian societies to be characterized as backward and resistant to change, though until 1600 or so certain Asian states were technologically far in advance of Europe. The Rice Economies, drawing on original source materials, examines patterns of technological and social evolution specific to East-Asian wet-rice economies in order to clarfiy some general historical trends in economic development.

Rice: Global Networks and New Histories
ISBN: 9781107044395 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 446 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Rice today is food to half the world's population. Its history is inextricably entangled with the emergence of colonialism, the global networks of industrial capitalism, and the modern world economy. The history of rice is currently a vital and innovative field of research attracting serious attention, but no attempt has yet been made to write a history of rice and its place in the rise of capitalism from a global and comparative perspective. Rice is a first step toward such a history. The fifteen chapters, written by specialists on Africa, the Americas, and Asia, are premised on the utility...

Technology and Gender: Fabrics of Power in Late Imperial China
ISBN: 9780520208612 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this feminist history of eight centuries of private life in China, Francesca Bray inserts women into the history of technology and adds technology to the history of women. Bray takes issue with the Orientalist image that traditional Chinese women were imprisoned in the inner quarters, deprived of freedom and dignity, and so physically and morally deformed by footbinding and the tyrannies of patriarchy that they were incapable of productive work. She proposes a concept of gynotechnics, a set of everyday technologies that define women's roles, as a creative new way to explore how...

Graphics and Text in the Production of Technical Knowledge in China: The Warp and the Weft
ISBN: 9789004160637 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 772 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This collection offers a challenging new interpretation of technical knowledge in Chinese thought and practice. Conveying technical knowledge in China through charts, plans or drawings (tu) dates back to antiquity. Earlier studies focused on specialised forms of tu like maps or drawings of machines. Here, however, tu is identified in Chinese terms, viz. as a philosophical category of knowledge production: visual templates for action, spanning a range from mandala to modernist mapping projects, inseparable from writing but with distinctive powers of communication. A...

Science and Confucian Statecraft in East Asia
ISBN: 9789004390577 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Science and Confucian Statecraft in East Asia explores science and technology as practiced in the governments of premodern China and Korea. Contrary to the stereotypical image of East Asian bureaucracy as a generally negative force having hindered free enquiries and scientific progress, this volume offers a more nuanced picture of how science and technology was deployed in the service of state governance in East Asia. Presenting richly documented cases of the major state-sponsored sciences, astronomy, medicine, gunpowder production, and hydraulics, this book illustrates how rulers’ and...
