Professor Rebecca E.
Karl (Ph.D., Duke University, 1995) is researching an on-going project on gender
and citizenship at the turn of the twentieth century. Among her other research
interests are contemporary Chinese film, historical consciousness, and historiographical
debates; issues in contemporary Chinese intellectual and social life; 1920s and
1930s Chinese economic thought and "semi-colonialism"; contemporary
critical theory; comparative history. All of her work highlights the various global
contexts--economic, intellectual, cultural--of modern and contemporary China and
is intended as an extended working out of the relationship between critical theories
of modernity and modern Chinese history. Among her publications is a just-released
book, Staging the World: Chinese Nationalism at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
(Duke Univ. Press).For more information please contact
