Název v původním jazyce

Imaginary Worlds and Imperial Power. The Case of China

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The contributions of this workshop make use of the vocabulary of civilizational analysis, especially as developed in the work of Johann Arnason, to understand Chinese civilization in comparison with its Western counterpart(s), for instance in the discussion of a shared ‘Axial Age’, the continuities and paradoxes of tradition and modernity, the comparative studies of world empires, and the differing ‘social imaginaries’. The latter term refers to the role of our imagination in articulating our world and our place in it. In this way, society is seen as an institution with a network of imaginary meanings. An important question is what sort of meanings would apply to the Chinese context. To what extent do they differ from comparable Western meanings? The key to answering this question has already been suggested by Arnason in his analysis of the specific cultural patterns of Chinese civilization and their equally specific interconnections with the political sphere, but the objectives of the chapters in the volume are precisely to shed more light on these intricate issues.
