【趣旨】
With his editorship of volume two of the New Cambridge History of Japan, Professor David L. Howell wrests the concept of “early modernity” away from the squeeze of historians of Europe. “[W]e East Asianists can tell our colleagues in Renaissance-Reformation history to keep their paws off our historical era, ” he writes. “Early modernity is ours!” He turns—he overturns—the historiographical tables: It is not just that our Japanese kinsei is akin to their European early modernity. It is that we came up with the notion first. It is our model built from our own history. Everyone else is welcome to borrow it, maybe.
Does Professor Howell’s and his colleagues’ refashioning of global history through Japanese early modernity work? If it does, should we admire the new outfit? If it doesn’t, should we exhale in relief? Professor Howell joins an intellectually and methodologically diverse group of young scholars for robust discussion on these and more themes. We are delighted to welcome him to Handai.
