VI, Opera omnia vol.6 Documentazioni aggiuntive e indici. in Totale 8 Volumi. Il piano di pubblicazione dell’Opera Omnia di Martino Martini […] Questo compendio, che, come ho detto, tratta gli avvenimenti dall’origine del popolo cinese fino alla nascita di Cristo e ai lettori consentirà di cogliere tutto quasi in un solo sguardo, l’ho scritto nel modo più chiaro e conciso che ho potuto, attingendo da un gran numero di libri di storia cinese, composti con grandissima cura. […] Nel comporre quest’opera tanto vasta oserei dire di aver sopportato le fatiche d’Ercole. Martino Martini (Trento 1614 – Hangzhou 1661), Sinicae Historiae Decas Prima, prefazione Al Lettore. Il progetto di pubblicare l’Opera Omnia di Martino Martini fu ideato da Franco Demarchi, professore emerito dell’Università di Trento, e da Giuliano Bertuccioli, sinologo dell’Università di Roma “La Sapienza”. Edita dall’Università degli Studi di Trento, l’Opera Omnia presenta tutti gli scritti di Martino Martini integralmente tradotti e annotati criticamente. Ad oggi sono stati stampati i primi quattro volumi, e due sono in via di realizzazione: I volumi realizzati: Volume I Lettere e Documenti: 33 lettere e documenti a firma di Martini o a lui attribuiti, oltre ad altri che si riferiscono alla sua corrispondenza. I temi trattati: descrizioni particolareggiate di viaggi, osservazioni astronomiche, registrazioni di dati scientifici, richieste di sussidi, suggerimenti per progetti da realizzare in Cina, riflessioni antropologiche e storiche, scambio epistolare con i dotti europei del tempo su questioni scientifiche ancora aperte. Inoltre il noto memoriale al Santo Uffizio nel 1655 in difesa della metodologia adottata dai Gesuiti in Cina. Volume II Opere Minori: -Brevis Relatio de Numero et Qualitate Christianorum apud Sinas - Breve relazione sul numero e la qualità dei cristiani in Cina; -Qiuyou Pian - Trattato sull’Amicizia: originale in cinese, edizione del 1661 con successive integrazioni; -Grammatica Sinica: il manoscritto originale in cinese e latino; -passi scelti tradotti dall’opera in cinese Zhenzhu lingxing lizheng - Prove razionali dell’esistenza del vero Signore e dell’immortalità dell’anima intellettiva. Volume III Novus Atlas Sinensis: L’opera, che si può considerare un trattato di geografia moderna, descrive le 15 province di cui si componeva l’Impero Cinese al tempo di Martini. A ciascuna provincia Martini riservò un capitolo -preceduto dalla relativa carta geografica a colori- in cui descrisse i confini e le caratteristiche geografiche ed economiche generali, i nomi che le Province assunsero in varie epoche della storia cinese, nonché la popolazione e la sua indole. La pubblicazione è corredata da un pregevole volume in folio delle Tavole. Volume IV Sinicae Historiae Decas Prima: Nel compilare la Sinicae Historiae Decas Prima, Martino Martini si proponeva e riusciva a realizzare l’obiettivo di narrare la storia della Cina dalle origini mitologiche fino alla nascita di Cristo. L’autore, cercando di presentare un’esatta cronologia degli avvenimenti e della successione degli imperatori, dovette partire dagli eventi storici certi per risalire alle origini mitiche, probabilmente con un calcolo a ritroso, e poterle datare. L’opera fu la prima del suo genere e la tipologia e il numero delle fonti utilizzate da Martino Martini per la compilazione è stata in passato oggetto di riflessione da parte di eminenti sinologi. Nel proporre questa pubblicazione dell’opera si è reso necessario uno studio sistematico e comparativo di ciascuno degli episodi narrati, volto a rintracciarne il corrispettivo nei testi di storia cinese disponibili intorno alla metà del Diciassettesimo secolo. La Sinicae Historiae Decas Prima di Martino Martini fu il primo testo di storia della Cina compilato in una lingua occidentale. Volume V De Bello Tartarico Historia e Altri scritti: il V volume propone la ristampa del De Bello Tartarico Historia di Martini, una testimonianza diretta dell’ultimo cambio dinastico della Cina -la guerra tra Ming e Qing- corredando il testo di un apparato critico arricchito da saggi storici. Volume VI Documentazioni aggiuntive e Indici: il VI volume presenta gli Indici analitici, dei nomi, delle località, degli autori, dei documenti, di tutti i Volumi editi, unitamente a una documentazione biografica martiniana recentemente ritrovata in vari archivi storici.

MATHEWS GORDON
Ghetto At The Center Of The World: Chungking Mansions Hong Kong Ghetto At The Center Of The World
University of Chicago Press Chicago and London: 2011. Softcover. Brand new book. There is nowhere else in the world quite like Chungking Mansions a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong's tourist district. A remarkably motley group of people call the building home; Pakistani phone stall operators Chinese guesthouse workers Nepalese heroin addicts Indonesian sex workers and traders and asylum seekers from all over Asia and Africa live and work there�even backpacking tourists rent rooms. In short it is possibly the most globalized spot on the planet. But as Ghetto at the Center of the World shows us a trip to Chungking Mansions reveals a far less glamorous side of globalization. A world away from the gleaming headquarters of multinational corporations Chungking Mansions is emblematic of the way globalization actually works for most of the world's people. Gordon Mathews's intimate portrayal of the building's polyethnic residents lays bare their intricate connections to the international circulation of goods money and ideas. We come to understand the day-to-day realities of globalization through the stories of entrepreneurs from Africa carting cell phones in their luggage to sell back home and temporary workers from South Asia struggling to earn money to bring to their families. And we see that this so-called ghetto�which inspires fear in many of Hong Kong's other residents despite its low crime rate�is not a place of darkness and desperation but a beacon of hope. Gordon Mathews's compendium of riveting stories enthralls and instructs in equal measure making Ghetto at the Center of the World not just a fascinating tour of a singular place but also a peek into the future of life on our shrinking planet. "In this wonderful book Gordon Mathews takes on an intriguing project: daily life as it is lived articulated dreamed denied regretted and defended in a rather rundown but very public building in Hong Kong. The residents of Chungking Mansions are economically blocked from the rest of the city and often racially discriminated against so how do such marginalized people survive much less prosper This is the conundrum at the heart of Ghetto at the Center of the World. Mathews tackles it by providing a vivid description of the people who live their lives in the building's dimly lit hallways restaurants and shops and by analyzing the larger material and political forces at work. The resulting account is as informative and revealing as it is entertaining."�William Jankowiak author of Sex Death and Hierarchy in a Chinese City "Hong Kong's Chungking Mansions is the most notorious flophouse in Asia. . . . The shabby tenement is today as much about global commerce as tourism. What the building should be renowned for argues Gordon Mathews in his fluid and enjoyable field study Ghetto at the Center of the World is the ingenious way 'low-end globalists' eke out profits from petit arbitrage. . . . It reads like a first-rate business book."�Wall Street Journal University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London: 2011 paperback

Mathews, Jay; Mathews, Linda
One Billion: A China Chronicle
25 cm. From John K. Fairbank - The New York Review of Books The sympathetic yet critical balance of attitude that distinguishes this book no doubt reflects the authors' experience living together in China. . . .{When they} married, and had two children, they mixed collaboration and competition. By living in China as a family they were in an unusual position to explore nooks and crannies of the society around them. . . . {The Mathews's} book, which is really a journalists' effort (the best I know of) . . . captures that elusive but ubiquitous entity known as 'Chinese culture' or what makes theChinese tick. From Donald Klein - The Christian Science Monitor (Eastern edition) The Mathewses bring solid credentials to their journalistic tasks and to this new book on life in China today. For example, they often cite research that is usually known only to China-scholars. Yet, these findings are frequently tested and humanized by the Mathewses' reporting. . . . Much of the book deals with the great struggle to preserve the family (not the rights of the individual as in the West) against the encroachments of the seemingly all-powerfulstate. The reader comes away with a renewed respect for the dogged tenacity of the family structure. . . . 'One Billion' contains an unexpected bonus. The Mathewses were the first American correspondents to have young children in China, and thus the book is sprinkled with striking observations about childrenthat a childless journalist might never have noticed. China is too importantto be left to the specialists. Books such as 'One Billion'--thoughtful and very well written--deserve a wide audience. From Judith K. Davison - The New York Times Book Review Conscientious organization saves 'One Billion' from chaos, but just barely. The authors start with the first principles of Chinese life--primacy of human feelings, ties to family and village, connections to the past, pride in being Chinese. Then they 'wrap together . . . the weary contrasts between city and country life. . . . They are at their best describing the central fact of life in China--population pressure--and examining its consequences (underemployment, low productivity, inadequate housing, family planning, which extends tosterilization and abortion). The farther afield they range, the more confusing their account becomes. 'One Billion' is the authors' testament to 'the experience of a lifetime,' but the reader would have been more satisfied with less. ISBN: 039450982X
