Globalizing Chinese Medicine in the 17th Century:
'Translation' at Work
Brown
University presents a day-long symposium, during which scholars from all over
the world will discuss Chinese medicine with a specific focus on its rapid
dissemination and translation during the 17th century.
On October 17-18, Brown will be
hosting the symposium "Globalizing Chinese Medicine in the 17th Century:
Translation at Work." John F. Nickoll Professor of History and Director of
Renaissance and Early Modern Studies Harold Cook organized the event, which
will bring together scholars from all over the globe to discuss the
dissemination of Chinese medical knowledge in the early modern world.
The concept of translation will be
central to the symposium on multiple levels. As participants discuss the
globalization of Chinese medical knowledge in the seventeenth century, they
will be sharing some of the latest research on the ways that knowledge is
communicated and modified as it is exchanged between languages and cultures. By
bringing together scholars with different linguistic skills and geographical
specialties, the event will also showcase collaborative efforts that cross the
boundaries of discipline and regional specialization.
Conference schedule is here.
