《中国季刊》研讨会征稿“中国知识生产的政治学” 自1960年创刊以来，《中国季刊》一直是各学科学者发表中国研究成果的主要期刊之一。基于过去几十年积累的知识财富，以及通过观察我们领域的演变而获得的后见之明，我们现在正处于一个关键时刻，需要反思中国研究与知识生产之间的关系。考虑到学术界的认识论转变以及在多个层面上制约社会科学和人文科学研究的地缘政治气候，这项任务变得越来越紧迫。在如此紧张的地缘政治环境下，世界各地的中国学者如何保持学术独立性?中国研究如何更好地参与最近关于非殖民化知识生产的辩论，特别是关于位置性和认识论的辩论?在过去的几十年里，我们应该如何评估学科学术(如政治学、社会学和人类学)与中国研究之间的谈判?我们如何展望未来的学术议程?中国研究在理论、认识论和方法论层面面临哪些新挑战?在学术界、媒体、智库和政界人士都试图标榜自己的中国专长的喧嚣话语领域中，中国研究学者如何更好地驾驭当前的知识生产生态?为了促进围绕这些主题的对话，《中国季刊》将于2025年6月中下旬在伦敦组织一场研讨会(有部分旅行资金)，目的是根据研讨会上发表的论文在2026年出版一期特刊。我们邀请有兴趣参与研讨会者在2024年12月13日之前将1000字的扩展摘要提交到编辑部邮箱：chinaq@soas.ac.uk。提案的初步筛选将采用双重匿名，因此请避免在摘要中透露您的身份。提交的结果将在2025年1月底之前公布，预计参与者将在2025年5月2日之前提交一篇约4000字的短文。如有任何疑问，请联系编辑部(chinaq@soas.ac.uk)。The China Quarterly SymposiumCall for Participation"The Politics of Knowledge Production about China"Since the launch in 1960, The China Quarterly has been one of the leading journals where scholars from a wide range of disciplines publish their research on China. Building on the wealth of knowledge accumulated in the past decades and the hindsight gained through observing the evolution of our field, we are now at a critical juncture that calls for reflection on the relationship between China studies and knowledge production. This task is increasingly urgent, given the epistemological shift within the academy and a geopolitical climate that conditions social science and humanities research on multiple levels.How can China scholars around the world maintain their academic independence in such a charged geopolitical environment? How can China studies better engage with recent debates on decolonising knowledge production, especially in regard to positionality and epistemology? How should we evaluate the negotiation between disciplinary scholarship-such as political science, sociology and anthropology- and China studies in the past decades, and how do we envision the intellectual agenda moving forward? What are the new challenges faced by China studies at theoretical, epistemological and methodological levels? Amidst the vociferous discursive field where academics, media, think tanks and politicians are all trying to claim credentials on China expertise, how can scholars of China studies better navigate the current ecology of knowledge production?To facilitate dialogues around these themes, The China Quarterly will organise a symposium in London in mid-to-late June 2025 (some travel funds are available), with the aim to publish a special issue in 2026 based upon selected papers presented at the symposium. We invite interested participants of the symposium to submit an extended abstract of 1,000 words to the editorial office at chinaq@soas.ac.uk by 13 December 2024. The initial screening of proposals will be double-anonymous so please avoid revealing your identity in the abstract. The outcome of the submission will be communicated by the end of January 2025, with the expectation that participants will then submit a short paper of around 4,000 words by 2 May 2025 in advance of the symposium.If you have any queries, please contact the editorial office (chinaq@soas.ac.uk).
