177.Sino-Japanese Intellectual Exchange and the Quest for Modernity
| Outline | Periods |
|---|---|
| From the 19th to the 20th century, the mutual relationship between Japan and China was an important ideological and political issue in their pursuit of ways for modernization. Both Westernization and Pan-Asianism were major trends in Japan, while Japan became a model as well as a threat to China, which encouraged the intellectual exchange between the two countries through translation and studying in the other country. Our research project will examine what kind of “modernity” Japan and China sought from multifaceted perspectives, also considering Taiwan, which became an intermediate region between the two countries, and the West, which greatly influenced East Asia. |
