Objectives of the Seminar The Early China Seminar is
an inter-university forum for the study of early Chinese civilization from
the Neolithic period to the end of the Han Dynasty (A.D. 220). The seminar
offers a multidisciplinary program, bringing together scholars from all
fields related to early China—history, archaeology, art history, literature
and language, religion and philosophy. The seminar aims at stimulating creative
new insight and analysis based especially on recently discovered
archaeological and textual materials and at promoting communications between
scholars in the East Coast region and those outside of the region. We meet
five times a year and each meeting futures two presentations. In the past four
years, scholars from more than 15 institutions on the East Coast attended the
seminar and more than 20 scholars from other regions and overseas were
invited to present papers. The seminar is administered through Columbia
University Seminars’ Office and co-sponsored by the CCK Inter-University
Center for Sinology at Harvard University. It is held regularly in the
Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Columbia University, New
York. In 2006-2008, the seminar
will focus on “Literacy and Social
Uses of Writing in Early China”, and a series of papers will be invited
to the seminar to address the issue, besides many other topics. |
