The Politics of Common Reading: Vernacular Knowledge and Everyday Technics in China, 1894-1954
-
Summary:
A consequential politics of common reading unfolded in the midst of China’s twentieth century revolutions. Vernacular (minjian) publishers, rustic bookstalls, and a piecemeal national book network formed an alternative infrastructure that liberated common readers from state structures that increasingly sought to mold them. Cheap how-to manuals afforded these readers a certain epistemic autonomy : daily-use handbooks, recipe collections, and compendia of techniques guided them in managing the challenges that arose in this era of institutional failure and epidemic disease, of external aggression and technological change. The Politics of Common Reading focuses on four of these challenges: how to cure an opium addiction, how to avoid an electric shock, how to prevent a cholera infection, and how to graft a plant. It traces the politics of accommodation that governed the vernacular approach to these challenges as a counterpoint to the politics of tutelage dictated by “Enlightening” cultural and official authorities. Whereas Enlighteners were determined to eradicate temporal, geographic, and social gaps by molding “the people” into model readers and compliant citizens, vernacular compilers sought to reconcile historical and global non-synchronicities, and to engage commoners as knowers. The book devises composites of individual knowers so that we can better know them: details of the crises they faced, the remedies they tried, and the texts they might have consulted. It argues that the acts of conciliation these readers engaged in shaped the broader epistemic terrain from which historical change was actualized in China’s century of revolution.

"Quotidian Concerns: Everyday Knowledge and the Rise of the Common Reader in China, 1860-1940"
-
Summary:
This project examines the processes of knowledge production and circulation that shaped modern China. The crucial eight decades it investigates encompassed China's protracted transition from Imperial to Republican rule, and from insular dynasty to global nation. They also witnessed an explosion of print arguably comparable in its social impact to the current Internet age. This project, an international collaborative effort that includes researchers in Europe, East Asia, and North America, is the first to devise methods for studying this burgeoning world of print that will allow us to penetrate the level of everyday knowledge, access the habits of mind that underpinned these historic and global shifts, and relate the lessons of China's early information age to today.

"A New Approach to the Popular Press in China: Gender and Cultural Production, 1904-1937""
-
Summary:
The primary objective of the project is to restore complexity to early-twentieth-century Chinese history by liberating that history from its own reductive discourses on the failings of tradition and the promise of modernity. The database has been created to facilitate research on the project's instrument and object of investigation: the commercial periodical press, a new medium that dominated the contemporary print market and became one of the prime sites for the dissemination of knowledge and the production of culture in early twentieth century China. In particular, our focus is on four seminal women's or gendered journals-a key genre of the new media-published between 1904 and 1937. They include Nüzi shijie (Women's World, 1904-07), Funü shibao (The Women's Eastern Times, 1911-17), Funü zazhi (The Ladies' Journal, 1915-31), and Linglong (Elegance, 1931-37).

The Politics of Common Reading: Vernacular Knowledge and Everyday Technics in China, 1894-1954
-
Summary:
A consequential politics of common reading unfolded in the midst of China’s twentieth century revolutions. Vernacular (minjian) publishers, rustic bookstalls, and a piecemeal national book network formed an alternative infrastructure that liberated common readers from state structures that increasingly sought to mold them. Cheap how-to manuals afforded these readers a certain epistemic autonomy : daily-use handbooks, recipe collections, and compendia of techniques guided them in managing the challenges that arose in this era of institutional failure and epidemic disease, of external aggression and technological change. The Politics of Common Reading focuses on four of these challenges: how to cure an opium addiction, how to avoid an electric shock, how to prevent a cholera infection, and how to graft a plant. It traces the politics of accommodation that governed the vernacular approach to these challenges as a counterpoint to the politics of tutelage dictated by “Enlightening” cultural and official authorities. Whereas Enlighteners were determined to eradicate temporal, geographic, and social gaps by molding “the people” into model readers and compliant citizens, vernacular compilers sought to reconcile historical and global non-synchronicities, and to engage commoners as knowers. The book devises composites of individual knowers so that we can better know them: details of the crises they faced, the remedies they tried, and the texts they might have consulted. It argues that the acts of conciliation these readers engaged in shaped the broader epistemic terrain from which historical change was actualized in China’s century of revolution.

"Quotidian Concerns: Everyday Knowledge and the Rise of the Common Reader in China, 1860-1940"
-
Summary:
This project examines the processes of knowledge production and circulation that shaped modern China. The crucial eight decades it investigates encompassed China's protracted transition from Imperial to Republican rule, and from insular dynasty to global nation. They also witnessed an explosion of print arguably comparable in its social impact to the current Internet age. This project, an international collaborative effort that includes researchers in Europe, East Asia, and North America, is the first to devise methods for studying this burgeoning world of print that will allow us to penetrate the level of everyday knowledge, access the habits of mind that underpinned these historic and global shifts, and relate the lessons of China's early information age to today.

"A New Approach to the Popular Press in China: Gender and Cultural Production, 1904-1937""
-
Summary:
The primary objective of the project is to restore complexity to early-twentieth-century Chinese history by liberating that history from its own reductive discourses on the failings of tradition and the promise of modernity. The database has been created to facilitate research on the project's instrument and object of investigation: the commercial periodical press, a new medium that dominated the contemporary print market and became one of the prime sites for the dissemination of knowledge and the production of culture in early twentieth century China. In particular, our focus is on four seminal women's or gendered journals-a key genre of the new media-published between 1904 and 1937. They include Nüzi shijie (Women's World, 1904-07), Funü shibao (The Women's Eastern Times, 1911-17), Funü zazhi (The Ladies' Journal, 1915-31), and Linglong (Elegance, 1931-37).
