Book Description

The Global and the Local in Early Modern and Modern East Asia presents a unique set of historical perspectives by scholars from two
important universities in the East Asian region--The University of Tokyo (Tōdai) and Fudan University, along with East Asian Studies scholars from Princeton University. Two of the essays address the international leanings in the histories of their respective departments in Todai and Fudan. The rest of the essays showcase how such thinking about the global and local histories have borne fruit, as the scholars of the three institutions contributed essays, arguing about the philosophies, methodologies, and/or perspectives of global history and how it relates to local stories. Authors include Benjamin Elman, Haneda Masashi, and Ge Zhaoguang.
The 'Global' and the 'Local' in Early Modern and Modern East Asia

Author Bio

Benjamin Elman (Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania, 1980) is Professor of East Asian Studies and History with his primary department in East Asian Studies.

His teaching and research fields include:

1) Chinese intellectual and cultural history, 1000-1900; 
2) history of science in China, 1600-1930; 
3) history of education in late imperial China; 
4) Sino-Japanese cultural history, 1600-1850. 
His publications include:

From Philosophy To Philology (1984, 1990, 2001); 
Classicism, Politics, and Kinship (1990); 
A Cultural History of Civil Examinations in Late Imperial China (2000). 
He has recently completed two book projects: On Their Own Terms: Science in China, 1550-1900 (2005), and A Cultural History of Modern Science in Late Imperial China (2006).

A new work entitled Meritocracy and Civil Examinations in Late Imperial China (HUP) appeared in Fall 2013.

I also edited several volumes from conferences held at Princeton under the auspices of PIIRS, EAP, and the Mellon Foundation on "Science in Republican China" (Brill 2014), "Languages, Literacies, and Vernaculars in Early Modern East Asia" (Brill 2015), and "Medical Classics and Medical Philology in East Asian, 1400-1900" (Brill 2016).

During my leave, I visited archives in China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea.  

For my leave in AY17, I have continued working on a new project entitled "The Intellectual Impact of Late Imperial Chinese Classicism, Medicine, and Science in Tokugawa Japan, 1700-1850," under the auspices of summer research grants from my Mellon Foundation Career Service Award (2011-2017).
