On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This lecture proposes to analyse different views of the Jesuit missionaries in late Ming China, with special focus on their status as ‘foreigners’. The missionaries’ activities in various domains, i.e. religious, scientific, philosophic, among others, lent themselves to different appreciations of their presence in late Ming China. In turn, this presentation examines how the status of ‘foreigners’ in diverse seventeenth-century Chinese sources could lead to inclusive perspectives of the Jesuits and their contributions on local soil or, on the contrary, to exclusive views of the Europeans in China, within contexts of disagreement and/or hostility.
