DESCRIPTION:CCS brings together three rising scholars whose research opens new windows into China’s global, literary, and social transformations. Peiyu Yang traces how Arab intellectuals of the late 19th and early 20th centuries imagined China during the Nahda, revealing surprising cross-cultural engagements with China’s anti-colonial struggles, constitutional reform, and debates over women’s rights. Sandy Zhang examines the vibrant literary experimentation that unfolded within China’s state-run publishing system in the 1980s. Focusing on the journal Shanghai Literature and editor Li Ziyun, she shows how insiders navigated censorship and institutional constraints to champion modernist and avant-garde writing, helping reshape the literary landscape during Reform and Opening. Thomas Chan explores how early twentieth-century China redefined the very meaning of drug addiction. Highlighting the work of Dr. Wu Liande and other medical reformers, he demonstrates how Chinese physicians advanced individual-based models of addiction that influenced global addiction science and drug-control regimes. Together, these talks illuminate China’s interconnected cultural, intellectual, and medical histories while showcasing innovative new scholarship on the twentieth century.
