Traditions
There are many traditions that are still present today. For
example, our language and clothing are big traditions. We
have and still will use carefully and meaningful.
China
Traditions
Bodily images have long been central to self-culivation traditions
in China. While recent stuides have shed light on bodily representations
and practices of earlier periods, we still know little about
how the bodily images and practices envoled in redcent times.
Past studies have largely overlooked the diversity, historical
context and changes of the self-cultivation traditions, tending
to treat later practices as simply coherent and transparent
extensions of those found in ancient classes.
Focusing
Focusing on new developments in the bodily representions and
practices and practices from mid-Quing to eatly 20th century
China, this panel explores the emerging discourse of the female
alchemical bodily represtations from the 18th century, the
"scientific" representations of the alchemic body
in early Republican period, and the death prepartion rrituals
of a Buddihist monk during the 1940's. These studies seek
to uncover changes as well as continues within various traditons
of bodily represtations and practices at different historical
moments since mid-Quing.Continuing themes from the earlier
panel on self-cultivation traditions of premodern China, this
panel will show how fundamental notions of self-cultivation
tradtions such as body, form, and transformation have been
considerably redefined of reformulatedin the diffret historical
contexts.Moreover, they will highlight how such issues of
moderity as gender; science, nationalsm,and tradition have
also come to shape the contours of the bodily images and practices
of late Quing and moderen China. These new perspectives will
also cintrubute to the field of histories of Chinese religons,
culture and medicine.
