‎RAND CHRISTOPHER C‎

‎Military Thought In Early China‎

‎State University of New York Press Albany: 2017. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Provides a systematic and comprehensive survey of writings on military philosophy in early China. This study of the philosophy of war in early China examines the recurring debate from antiquity through the Western Han period 202 BCE-8 CE about how to achieve a proper balance between martial wu force and civil wen governance in the pursuit of a peaceful state. Rather than focusing solely on Sunzi's Art of War and other military treatises from the Warring States era ca. 475-221 BCE Christopher C. Rand analyzes the evolution of this debate by examining a broad corpus of early Han and pre-Han texts including works uncovered in archeological excavations during recent decades. What emerges is a framework for understanding early China's military philosophy as an ongoing negotiation between three major alternatives: militarism compartmentalism and syncretism. Military Thought in Early China offers a look into China's historical experience with a perennial issue that is not only of continuing relevance to modern-day China but also pertinent to other world states seeking to sustain strong and harmonious societies. Christopher C. Rand is an independent scholar who received his PhD in Chinese history from Harvard University. He is the cotranslator with Joseph S. M. Lau of Ts'ao Y�'s The Wilderness. "With its close engagement with and nuanced interpretation of a truly impressive range of sources this book illuminates a field that gets too little serious attention." � Charles Sanft author of Communication and Cooperation in Early Imperial China: Publicizing the Qin Dynasty State University of New York Press, Albany: 2017 hardcover‎

‎Divination And Prediction In Early China And Ancient Greece‎

‎8vo, 496pp. Divination was an important and distinctive aspect of religion in both ancient China and ancient Greece, and this book will provide the first systematic account and analysis of the two side by side. Who practised divination in these cultures and who consulted it? What kind of questions did they ask, and what methods were used to answer those questions? As well as these practical aspects, Lisa Raphals also examines divination as a subject of rhetorical and political narratives, and its role in the development of systematic philosophical and scientific inquiry. She explores too the important similarities, differences and synergies between Greek and Chinese divinatory systems, providing important comparative evidence to reassess Greek oracular divination.‎

‎Knowing Words: Wisdom and Cunning in the Classical Traditions of China and Greece‎

‎8vo, hardcover in dj, as new. xviii + 273pp., appends., bibliog., index, For the craft of Odysseus and the wisdom of Athena were examples of metis, an elusive cast of mind that ranged from wisdom and forethought to craft and cunning. Although it informed many aspects of Greek society, metis was all but absent from the language of Greek philosophy. Invoking indigenous Chinese debates, Lisa Raphals here examines the role and significance of metic intelligence in classical Chinese philosophy, literature, history, and military strategy.Raphals first examines the range of meanings of the Chinese word zhi. As with the Greek metis, the uses of zhi include "wisdom," "knowledge," "intelligence," "skill," "cleverness," and "cunning." Drawing on parallels between the two traditions, she argues that, in China as in Greece, metic intelligence tacitly informed many aspects of cultural and social life. In China, these included views of the nature of knowledge and language, standards of personal and social morality, and theories of military strategy and statecraft. After surveying representative texts from the Warring States period, Raphals considers the function of metic intelligence as the dominant quality of central characters in two novels from the Ming dynasty, the Romance of Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West. Finally, she compares the treatment of themes of heroism and recognition in the Chinese and Greek narrative traditions.‎

‎Daoism and Anarchism: Critiques of State Autonomy in Ancient and Modern China‎

‎8vo, br. ed. focuses on anti-statist critiques in ancient and modern China and demonstrates that China does not have an unchallenged authoritarian political culture. Treating anarchism as a critique of centralized state power, the work first examines radical Daoist thought from the 4th century BCE to the 9th century CE and compares Daoist philosophers and poets to Western anarchist and utopian thinkers. This is followed by a survey of anarchist themes in dissident thought in the People s Republic of China from 1949 to the present. A concluding chapter discusses how Daoist anarchism can be applied to any anarchist-inspired radical critique today. This work not only challenges the usual ideas of the scope and nature of dissent in China, it also provides a unique comparison of ancient Chinese Daoist anarchism to Western anarchist. Featuring previously untranslated texts, such as the 9th century Buddhist anarchist tract, the Wunengzi, and essays from the PRC press, it will be an essential resource to anyone studying anarchism, Chinese political thought‎

‎Tsingtau. Eine deutsche Kolonialstadt in China : (1897-1914). (Ethnographie des Alltags, 8).‎

‎Wien: Böhlau 2021. 324 S, Litverz. Kart. *nahezu neuwertig*.‎

‎Heute noch stehen in der chinesischen Millionenstadt Qingdao Fachwerkhäuser im 'neu-nürnbergischen Stil'. Der historische Stadtkern, die deutsche Kolonialstadt Tsingtau (1897-1914), erzählt ein koloniales Gründungsnarrativ deutscher Selbstrepräsentation im Spiegel einer rassistischen Konstruktion des chinesischen Anderen.Tsingtau war eine städtebauliche Selbstinszenierung des Deutschen Reiches, die von bürgerlicher Selbsterfindung und imperialem Anspruch der 'deutschen Kulturnation' auf ihren 'Platz an der Sonne' kündete. Das koloniale Gründungsnarrativ von der 'saubersten und gesündesten Stadt an der ganzen ostasiatischen Küste' untermauerte nicht nur die nationale und bürgerliche Selbstrepräsentation, sondern lieferte auch die Begründung für eine rassistische Ausgrenzung und Disziplinierung der chinesischen Bevölkerung, die sich dem Zugriff der Macht auf unterschiedlichste Weise zu entziehen verstand.Das Buch zeigt, wie Ausgrenzung und Disziplinierung der Mehrheitsbevölkerung und der Rückzug in eine gated community Imaginationen eines Belagerungszustandes durch 'die feindlichen Anderen' hervorbrachten, die auf kolonialen Deutungen der Welt, des Selbst und des Fremden beruhten. Imaginationen, die wir in unseren heutigen postkolonialen Denk- und Handlungsmustern wiedererkennen können.‎

‎ARCHIVE OF MATERIAL RELATING TO THE CHINESE CIVIL WAR AND POST-WAR CHINA 1944 - 1954 COMPILED BY JOURNALIST ALBERT RAVENHOLT DESCRIBING THE POLITICAL MILITARY ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SITUATION IN CHINA AND THE COUNTRY'S FUTURE‎

‎Various places in China 1954. Twenty-five letters thirty-three interviews forty-nine press releases forty-four reports thirteen publications two photos one business card. In all one linear foot of material. Various paginations as described below. Occasional manuscript corrections to text all annotations are noted in list below. Occasional toning or rumpling to paper. In very good condition. A substantial and important archive of primary source material collected by United Press war correspondent Albert Ravenholt including his reportage interviews notes collections of press releases and periodicals from a decade spent reporting from China during World War II the Chinese Civil War and the early years of the Cold War. Ravenholt's archive provides an unparalleled firsthand view into the political economic military international and social forces at work in China from the waning years of World War II into the Cold War and the control of the country by the Chinese Communist Party. The great majority of material in this archive consists of unique unpublished material gathered by Ravenholt in the course of his reporting in China gathered on the scene over the course of a decade. Excerpts from the interviews that he conducted and the reports he gathered were used to create his stories but this archive presents his research materials in their unedited complete form. Apart from its use in his journalism it is to our knowledge unexamined and unstudied. The collection includes correspondence and interviews conducted by Ravenholt with figures in Chinese political military and economic affairs from both the Chinese Nationalist and Communist sides of the conflict as well as with American military and business leaders. The collection also contains a great amount of material gathered by Ravenholt over the course of a decade spent in China including press releases propaganda both anti- and pro-Communist American military directives reports on Chinese industry and the prospects and proposals for its reconstruction considerations of American business opportunities in China and much more. In all the Ravenholt archive presents the entire spectrum of the issues at work in a country occupied by Japan and then fighting for its future at the dawn of the Cold War. Albert Ravenholt 1919-2010 was born in rural Wisconsin to Danish immigrants and was drawn to journalism from an early age. After high school he found a job as a cook on a Swedish freighter bringing timber to the Asia. He landed in Shanghai and noting that Japan was already at war with China did not reboard. Following the U.S. declaration of war on Japan Ravenholt volunteered with the International Red Cross to lead medical relief convoys into the Chinese interior. In 1942 recovering from a bought of dysentery he got his first reporting job working for the United Press as a war correspondent covering China India and Burma. In 1945 he became U.P. Bureau Chief for China and India and later a fellow at the Institute of Current World Affairs stationed in Peking until the Chinese Communist Party CCP overthrow. After the end of the Chinese Civil War Ravenholt returned to the Institute of Current World Affairs and was a founding member of the American Universities Field Service an apprenticeship program organized by several American colleges and universities to send qualified students out as foreign correspondents. Ravenholt also continued his research and writing throughout Asia and maintained a second home in the Philippines. The bulk of this extensive collection focuses on the economic situation in China immediately following Japan's surrender in August 1945. This includes reconstruction of financial systems and national infrastructure but also restoring Chinese control to industries taken over by Japanese occupiers and codifying Chinese autonomy over foreign especially American investments in China. While there is not extensive combat reporting during the Chinese Civil War interviews and press releases from both the anti-Communist Chinese Nationalist Kuomintang and the CCP reveal sharp tensions over who is best suited to guide China's future. The format of paper sizes in this archive varies although there are consistencies in sizes of paper per publisher or creator. Most of Ravenholt's typed reports are on onion skin. His notes and reportage were typed or written on any available paper. The CCP issuing press releases from Yenan used a mimeograph machine that regularly printed significantly off-center. Those leaves often appear hand-cut as though rudimentary print-shop equipment was lacking. Press releases issued by the Republic of China Kuomintang of China or KMT in the wartime capital of Chungking are more refined but still feature blotchy ink and paper of varying quality. Paper was scarce in China during the war years and afterwards. Materials are sorted into six sections Correspondence; Interviews; Press Releases Propaganda and U.S. Military Directives; Business and Industry; Miscellaneous Notes and Reports; Publications and then listed chronologically within each section. A fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse into the work of one of the most important journalists covering the emergence of modern China. A complete inventory of the approximately 150 items in the archive is available upon request. Stephen R.
