Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: A majority of the statesmen, thinkers, philosophers, reformers, and politicians who were influential not only during the late Qing period but also in the Republic of China (1912-1949) were shaped in their youth by extended stays as students in the United States, Japan, and Europe. In this course, we trace their paths abroad by reading their edited diaries and memoirs: What did they study there? How long did they stay there? How did they experience the foreign country? Most importantly, we will also trace their lives after they returned to China and examine the ways in which their time abroad reverberated in China. This seminar is held in English; for credit points in the Chinese Studies MA, readings in Chinese will be required.
