Reading Contemporary Serial Television Universes A Narrative Ecosystem Framework

Reading Contemporary Serial Television Universes A Narrative Ecosystem Framework

The volume details the implications of the narrative ecosystem for narrative theory and the study of seriality audiences and fandoms production and the analysis of the products themselves. | Reading Contemporary Serial Television Universes A Narrative Ecosystem Framework

Konfuzianisches Ethos und westliche Wissenschaft Wang Guowei (1877-1927) und das Ringen um das moderne China

Konfuzianisches Ethos und westliche Wissenschaft Wang Guowei (1877-1927) und das Ringen um das moderne China

This study in German offers profound insights into the life and thoughts of Wang Guowei (1877-1927). Like many intellectuals who strongly perceived the necessity of reforms in the waning years of the Late Qing dynasty i. e. after the Opium wars Wang sought to strengthen China's position against foreign in particular Western powers. Contrary to earlier approaches which either advocated a close adherence to Confucian traditions or tried to adapt only elements of Western material culture mainly industrial and military technology Wang Guowei aimed at reviving traditional Chinese culture by analysing its source texts using a modern scientific approach (and thereby started the discipline of guoxue [national studies]) and simultaneously adapting compatible elements of Western immaterial culture. Thus Wang became known as an authority on Chinese paleography as well as on German philosophy especially Kantian epistomology. | Konfuzianisches Ethos und westliche Wissenschaft Wang Guowei (1877-1927) und das Ringen um das moderne China
