Sinicizing Christianity
ISBN: 9789004330375 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Chinese people have been instrumental in indigenizing Christianity. Sinizing Christianity examines Christianity's transplantation to and transformation in China by focusing on three key elements: Chinese agents of introduction; Chinese redefinition of Christianity for the local context; and Chinese institutions and practices that emerged and enabled indigenisation. As a matter of fact, Christianity is not an exception, but just one of many foreign ideas and religions, which China has absorbed since the formation of the Middle Kingdom, Buddhism and Islam are great examples. Few scholars...

China on the Sea: How the Maritime World Shaped Modern China
ISBN: 9789004194779 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Generations of Chinese scholars have made China synonymous with the Great Wall and presented its civilization as fundamentally land-bound. This volume challenges this perspective, demonstrating that China was not a "Walled Kingdom," certainly not since the Yongjia Disturbance in 311. China reached out to the maritime world far more actively than historians have acknowledged, while the seas and what came from the seas--from Islam, fragrances and Jesuits to maize, opium and clocks--significantly changed the course of history, and have been of inestimable importance to China since the Ming. This...

The Social Life of Opium in China
ISBN: 9780521846080 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The history of Opium in China begins in the mid-Ming dynasty, when as a tribute from vassal states, it was initially used as an aphrodisiac in the Ming court. The Chinese then began to collectively redefine the foreign recreational resource's usage and created a complex culture around its comsumption. This book traces the transformation over a period of five hundred years, revealing the nature of Opium's introduction and development in China as a universal cultural institution.

The Body in Asia
ISBN: 9781845455507 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The past few decades have seen growing interest in the study of the body. However, the increasing number of exciting and influential publications has primarily, if not exclusively, focused on the body in Western cultures. The various works produced by Asian scholars remain largely unknown to Western academic debates even though Asia is home to a host of rich body cultures and religions. The peoples of Asia have experienced colonization, decolonization, and now globalization, all of which make the 'body in Asia' a rewarding field of research. This unique volume brings together a number of... The past few decades have seen growing interest in the study of the body.

The Cold War in Asia: The Battle for Hearts and Minds
ISBN: 9789004175372 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Cold War stayed cold in Europe but it was hot in Asia. Its legacy lives on in the region. In none of the three dominant historiographical paradigms: orthodox, revisionist and post-revisionist, does Asia, or the rest of the Third World, figure with much significance. What happens to these narratives if we put them to the test in Asia? This volume argues that attention to what has been conventionally considered the periphery is essential to a full understanding of the global Cold War. Foregrounding Asia necessarily leads to a re-assessment of the dominant narratives. This volume also argues...
