One hundred years on, is it too early for an assessment of the Xinhai Revolution of 1911? For a country whose historical imaginings are especially informed by anniversaries remembered and forgotten, the year 2011 marks a century since China saw events bringing the end of imperial rule. Just as the varying assessments of this revolution have reflected the transformations that the country has undergone during the past hundred years, those engaged with China are continually challenged to question and reflect on their ways of knowing their subject. |

Various attempts have been made to name and define the continental fringes or liminal zones of the Chinese world. Today, "Inner Asia" is the most recognizable designation for this series of interconnected and overlapping polyethnic, multi-confessional regions. It consists broadly of Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet, and stretches on occasions to Manchuria. Chinese constructions of the borderlands and ethnic minorities have lately attracted ever greater interest among Western scholars working on modern Chinese history, though there remains much to be explored. Arguably, the same level of interest has not been shown to outsider perspectives on China's continental frontiers and the peoples who inhabit them. This workshop aims to explore the contours of scholastic work on China's "Inner Asia". It will engage with figures (explorers, adventurers, scholars) and traditions of scholarship that have contributed to contemporary views of this region, be they Chinese, Western, Russian/Soviet, Japanese, or local, Inner Asian. The workshop will also engage with "Inner Asia" as an object of scholarship, the field of Inner Asian studies, and subfields within it, e.g. Silk Road archaeology, Dunhuang studies, the study of Chinese Islam, Altaic linguistics, Tibetology, and so on. |
