The workshop “Reconstructing Modern East Asian Cultural History. A Dialogical Approach” is aimed at stimulating a new interdisciplinary and international cooperation on the question of modernity in East Asia. It envisages a cross-cultural history of modernity in East Asia. We highlight the construction of multiple knowledges (in fields such as administration, art, visual and acoustic cultures, literature, medicine, political thought, urbanity), addressing the ways in which life in a « hybrid cultural community » is mutually shaped in the context of modernity, empire and globalization by actors, and this beyond a one-sided approach to what « savants » do to « others ». The focus on intercultural dynamics brings a particular attention to the development of networks enabling actors to mobilize and share diverse resources, as well as to processes of rationalization and internalization in the context of « laboratories of modernity ».
