History Forum No. 1 – Discovered and Forgotten: The Maldives in Imperial China
History Forum No. 1 – Discovered and Forgotten: The Maldives in Imperial China
Small and remote, the Maldives did not enter the Chinese world until Wang Dayuan’s visit in 1330-31. Decades later, the Zheng He Voyages (1405-1433) followed to visit this island kingdom, and brought its tributary envoys to Beijing. Take the Maldives as a case, angle and approach, this talk on one hand examines the Chinese knowledge of the island kingdom by highlighting Chinese toponymy, local products including coconuts, coir ropes, dried fish, cowrie shells, and ambergris, ship without nails, and women, thus providing a valuable glimpse of medieval Maldives; on the other hand, the talk introduces the Sino-Maldivian interactions, both politically and economically.

FAH/DPHIL Online Workshop – “The Crisis of Critical Theory? Critical Theory From and Beyond the Margins”
FAH/DPHIL Online Workshop – “The Crisis of Critical Theory? Critical Theory From and Beyond the Margins”
Critical theory is a Western, and distinctly European, intellectual tradition that drew its normative resources from the social and political events that transpired in Europe over the course of the 20th century. It is relevant to ask the question whether, as a critical-practical tradition, critical theory has anything to contribute outside the Western-European context, given the emergence of globalization and the issues that arose with it. For some, the Eurocentrism of critical theory is symptomatic of its very own crisis, one which challenges the universality of its normative claims, e.g., the abolition of social injustice. Is it possible for critical theory to overcome its Eurocentrism and, therefore, its own crisis? The irony is that critical theory is only able to […]
