The simplistic assumptions embedded in this model often misrepresent the dynamic negotiation that occurs in the definition of geographical space. This exhibit examines the complex web of influences and cross-influences that resulted in the frequent metamorphoses of \u201cChina\u201d over the centuries. With a focus on the last two dynastic periods\u2014the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912)\u2014the maps displayed here will illustrate the genealogical associations of concepts, images, and stories that have shaped our views of one another.<\/p>\n<p>For further information, contact Joseph Garver at 617-496-3670<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mapping Imperial China: A Cultural Exchange May 23 \u2013 September 30, 2013 Map Gallery Hall, Pusey Library http:\/\/hcl.harvard.edu\/info\/exhibitions\/ Conventional narratives of East-West interaction in the cartographic sphere tend to portray the cultural exchange as a lopsided, tutelary relationship in which the more \u201cprimitive\u201d society inevitably pays fealty to more scientifically sophisticated and objective standards of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5364,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1910],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-maps"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yenching\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yenching\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yenching\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yenching\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5364"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yenching\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=403"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yenching\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":407,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yenching\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403\/revisions\/407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yenching\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yenching\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yenching\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
