Monday 12 July, 18:00 - 20:00 The Cassal Lecture 2010: Humanities Research in China: New Horizons - Professor Alain Peyraube Room 275 (Stewart House, Second floor) This paper analyses recent developments in social-science and humanities research in China, and their links with European research. The main focus will be on the humanities as traditionally conceived - languages, linguistics, literature, the arts, musci etc. These disciplines were relatively neglected in the last fifteen years in China, where the stress was much more on social and economic research. In the last two or three years, however, the more traditional humanities subjects have come to the fore, and it is European research, rather than American research, that has inspired this change. Professor Peyraube is Directeur de Recherche at the Centre National de la Reserche Scientifique, Professor of Chinese Linguistics at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales and a member of the European Research Council Scientific Council.
