When Sinology goes Global: Reflections on a transcultural Turn 

Barbara Mittler
University of Heidelberger

This paper discusses what happens when sinology is reconceived not as the study of China alone, but of China in its global context. Taking the example of New Chinese Music on the one hand and of China's print media world in the early 20th century on the other, this paper argues for a turn toward studying the many interconnections of China's New Music/New Media with that of the world, rather than stressing its "specific" "national" traits alone. 

当汉学走向世界：对一种跨文化转向的反思

当汉学不再仅仅是对中国的研究，而是对在全球语境下的中国的研究之时，这一研究领域将会有何变化？本文将对此问题进行探讨。本文将以新中国的音乐以及20世纪早期的中国平面媒体为例，提出一种研究转向，即应当考察中国新音乐/新媒介与世界音乐/媒介之间的诸多内在联系，而不是仅仅强调其“特殊的”、“民族性”特征。
