Fa-Ti Fan - British Naturalists in Qing China: Science, Empire, and Cultural Encounter
Posted on 2010-07-26
|  |
More Although natural history was the most far-reaching Western scientific enterprise undertaken in China, it has largely been neglected by historians. How did British naturalists and their Chinese associates explore, study, and represent China’s natural world within the social and cultural context of the late Qing empire? In seeking to address these questions, Fan reconstructs and explains the aims, methods, and achievements of naturalists’ research in a China coming to grips with Western powers. He investigates how natural history, horticulture, Chinese export art, folk knowledge, and Sinology converged in the scientific representation of the natural history of China. Scientific practice and knowledge took shape, as he shows, in the cultural "borderlands," during a critical period in Sino-Western relations. Any understanding of the British venture into natural history in China depends on seeing the Chinese participants as multidimensional actors in the crafting of this scientific undertaking. Just as the naturalists had a variety of agendas in their pursuit of scientific knowledge, the Chinese entered the relationship because it offered opportunities to forge profitable alliances, enlarge their fortunes, and enrich their lives. Whatever the power relations between the Western naturalists and the Chinese might have been, both groups tried to make sense of their encounters. The relationships between the naturalists and the Chinese who helped them were not necessarily culture- or nation-bound, Fan concludes: "Historical actors negotiated their identities and roles just as we do."
