>Court Culture in Qing China: New Directions in Research

>Sponsored by the Royal Academy of Arts, the Department of Art and
>Archaeology and Centre for Chinese Studies, School of Oriental and African
>Studies, and Merton College, Oxford.

>
>A major two day international symposium which builds on the achievements
>of the landmark exhibition China: The Three Emperors 1662-1795. Leading
>scholars from China, the United States and Britain debate the pressing new
>questions this unprecedented exhibition poses and the new directions in
>research it provokes. How do art and visual culture inflect our
>understanding of the culture of rulership in Qing China? Through
>consideration of other historical and geographical contexts, this
>conference seeks to expand our definition of 'court culture' and provides
>a significant opportunity for scholars to re-angle research into this
>important period in Chinese history. Participants include Craig Clunas,
>Yuan Hongqi, Zhang Hongxing, Catherine Jami, Regina Krahl, Shane
>McCausland, Alfreda Murck, Susan Naquin, Jessica Rawson, Jan Stuart, Ren
>Wanping, Evelyn Welch and Verity Wilson.
>
>Made possible by the generosity of Mr. Giuseppe Eskenazi.
