Giulio Aleni, Kouduo richao, and Christian-Confucian dialogism in late Ming Fujian / Song Gang.

Includes bibliographical references (pages [363]-390), index and Chinese summary.
Revision of author's 2006 dissertation entitled Learning from the other (via publisher's email).

From literary dialogue to cultural dialogism -- Aleni, Fujian Mission, and Kouduo richao -- Practical investigations of heaven and earth -- Spiritual and moral cultivation of man -- Salvation before the eyes : objects, images, and liturgies.

"The readers will find in this book a momentous study on Christian dialogic writings that flourished in the Catholic missions in late Ming China. It particularly focuses on the mission work of the Italian Jesuit Giulio Aleni (Ai Rulüe 艾儒略, 1582-1649) in Fujian, and the unique text Kouduo richao 口鐸日抄 (Diary of Oral Admonitions, 1630-1640) recording the religious and intellectual conversations among the Jesuits and local converts. By examining the mechanisms of dialogue in Kouduo richao and other Christian works distinguished by a certain dialogue form, I aim to reveal the formation of a hybrid Christian-Confucian identity in late Ming Chinese religious experience. The book also offers a reconsideration of methodologies used in recent scholarship. My critical reflections will lead to a new approach, i.e., dialogic hybridization. The approach not only treats dialogue as an important yet underestimated genre in late Ming Christian literature, but it also uncovers a self-other identity complex in the dialogic exchanges of the Jesuits and Chinese scholars. The book is a multi-faceted investigation of the religious, philosophical, ethical, scientific, and artistic topics discussed among the Jesuits and late Ming scholars. This comprehensive research echoes what the distinguished sinologist Erik Zürcher (1928-2008) said about the richness and diversity of Chinese Christian texts produced in the 17th and 18th centuries. This book presents another major study featuring a set of new findings beyond the endeavours of Zürcher and other scholars. With the key concept of Christian-Confucian dialogism, it tells an intriguing story of Aleni's mission work and the thriving Christian communities in late Ming Fujian"-- Provided by publisher.

About the Symposium 研討會主旨:

Since the late Qing time, Hong Kong and Shanghai have been recognized as two leading centers for Chinese translations and publications of Western books. The translated works covered a wide range of thematic categories, and many of them exerted significant impacts on China’s transition from an imperial society to a modern nation. Though extensive research has been done in the past decades, some key concerns remain largely underexplored. They include, for example, the diverse modes and techniques of translation, the roles of Chinese scholars in the translation process, the exchanges of Chinese and Western knowledge systems and cultural practices, the printing and circulation of the translated works, and the overlaps and competitions between Hong Kong and Shanghai in publishing Chinese translations of Western books, etc. This symposium is therefore aimed to provide a platform for scholars to engage more advanced studies and better digest the publishing boom that took place simultaneously at these two cities in early modern Chinese history.

自晚清時期起，香港與上海就被視為西書中譯和出版的主要中心。來自兩地的譯著涵蓋多個領域，其中不少書籍對中國社會從傳統向現代轉型產生了重要影響。儘管此前學界已取得了豐碩的研究成果，某些重要議題仍有待進一步的考察，包括多樣化的翻譯模式與方法、中國學者在譯書過程中的角色、中西知識體系及文化傳統的調適、書籍印刷和流通，及港、滬之間譯書出版的聯通與競爭等。有鑑於此，本次會議將為學者提供深度交流的平台，以更好地理解和評價近代香港與上海譯書出版事業的歷史發展進程。
