- 簡 介:
In the 1980s and 1990s, many scholars claimed that bringing gender into historical analysis would change not just how we thought about women or the family, but also force rethinking of other historical topics. For instance, Joan Wallach Scott wrote, “Feminist scholars pointed out early on that the study of women would not only add a new subject matter but would also force a critical reexamination of the premises and standards of existing scholarly work.” More specifically on China, Dorothy Ko wrote, “by comprehending gender relations, we gain a more realistic and complete knowledge of the values of Chinese culture, the functioning of its society, and the nature of historical changes.” The goal of this talk is to ask if the accumulating research on gender in China is in fact leading to ways to rethink other historical issues. In particular I will look at our understandings of Chinese emperors, both as individuals and as an institution. Issues such as the education of emperors, the ways officials tried to manage them, ruler-minister relations, and the palace as a social space will all be touched on.
