Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
The first of its kind, this collection of critical essays opens up new venues in the
comparative study of science and culture by focusing on the formative decades of modern
China in the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century. It provides
a wide-ranging examination of the cultural and intellectual history of science and
technology in modern China.From anti-imperialism to the technology of Chinese writing,
the commodification of novelties to the rise of the modern professional scientist,
new lexica and appropriations of the past, the contributors map out a transregional
and global circuitry of modern knowledge and practical know-how, nationalism and the
amalgamation of new social practices
