GIOVANI VIRTUOSI E DOVE TROVARLI Percorsi formativi e rappresentazioni dell'età giovanile nella tradizione pedagogica e letteraria cinese Sfoglia le prime pagine INDEX INTRODUZIONE FALATO, Giulia – University of Oxford VINCI, Renata – Università degli Studi di Palermo GIOVANI VIRTUOSI E DOVE TROVARLI pag. 7 Virtuous young people and where to find them Preface: Childhood and education are themes in which there is a strong dichotomy: they have a universal component by nature, as they have been present in the social organization since ancient times, but at the same time they are strongly characterized and influenced by the cultural environment in which they evolve. . In China, classical texts and social practices are only two of the elements that have contributed to shape the original character of the child, whose formation, throughout the history of Chinese thought, was influenced by the great doctrines - Buddhism, Daoism and Confucianism - and subsequently from the encounter with the West. Through a varied corpus of primary sources - philosophical-pedagogical treatises, historical works, didactic texts, periodical press and examples of the visual arts -, this multidisciplinary volume proposes to observe how the representations of childhood and the practices of education have changed over the centuries, the precepts and customs survived to the alternation of dynasties and those were ever disputed, with an eye to the contribution of exogenous doctrines to the pedagogical system of late imperial China and of early years of the Republic. Infanzia ed educazione sono tematiche in cui è presente una forte dicotomia: hanno per natura una componente universale, in quanto presenti nell’organizzazione sociale fin dai tempi più antichi, ma allo stesso tempo sono fortemente caratterizzate e influenzate dall’ambiente culturale in cui si evolvono. In Cina, testi classici e pratiche sociali sono solo due degli elementi che hanno contribuito a modellare il carattere originale del bambino, la cui formazione, nel corso della storia del pensiero cinese, fu influenzata dalle grandi dottrine – buddhismo, daoismo e confucianesimo – e successivamente dall’incontro con l’Occidente. Attraverso un variegato corpus di fonti primarie – trattati filosofico-pedagogici, opere storiche, testi didattici, stampa periodica ed esempi di arti visive –, questo volume multidisciplinare propone di osservare come sono cambiate le rappresentazioni dell’infanzia e le pratiche dell’istruzione nel corso dei secoli, quali precetti e consuetudini sopravvissero all’alternarsi delle dinastie e quali invece furono messi in discussione, con uno sguardo rivolto al contributo delle dottrine esogene al sistema pedagogico della Cina tardo imperiale e dei primi anni della Repubblica. FALATO, Giulia – University of Oxford SPAZI, RUOLI E PRECETTI DELL’ISTRUZIONE GIOVANILE NELLA CINA DEL PRIMO PERIODO IMPERIALE Spaces, roles and precepts of youth education in early imperial China Abstract: During the Western Han (206 BC–9 AD) theories on children’s education were codified and gender-specific roles were defined. These were essential for the creation of an ideal Confucian society and the social expectations towards the younger generations. The purpose of this paper is to re-examine spaces, agents and practices of children education, alongside the doctrinal innovations introduced by prominent Han thinkers, in order to understand their role in preserving social harmony. Read LETTERE, Laura – Università degli Studi di Napoli “L’Orientale” L’INFANZIA COME DISCORSO CONTROCULTURALE: DAL MAHĀPARINIRVĀṆASŪTRA AL CHAN Childhood as a counter-cultural discourse: from the Mahāparinirvāṇasūtra to Chan Abstract: In the Confucian tradition, children are mostly represented as enfant-prodiges, while Daoists idealized children as a symbol of submission and compliance. In the fourth century A.D., the translation of the Mahāparinirvāṇasūtra as Da banniepan jing 大般涅槃經 (T374) introduced a radically new description of childhood, by means of a controversial comparison between the achievements of the Buddha and the behavior of a newborn child. The counter-cultural value of this comparison is demonstrated in this study through an analysis of the very different interpretations of this passage by Zhiyi 智顗 (538–597) and the main commentaries from the Chan tradition. Read FREI, Elisa - Goethe Universität Frankfurt – Boston College LA GIOVENTÙ NELLA CINA DI DANIELLO BARTOLI (1663) Youth in the China of Daniello Bartoli (1663) Abstract: Daniello Bartoli (1608–1685) was commissioned to write the history of the first century of his order, the Society of Jesus. In the section dedicated to China (1663), the Italian writer describes the missionary endeavour in the Empire, taking advantage of edited and unedited Jesuit sources. This article explores Bartoli’s analysis and judgement of the Chinese youth, first focusing on some of its characteristics, and then showing the respectively ‘bad’ and ‘good’ outcomes of non-Jesuit and Jesuit education. Read SMITHROSSER, Elizabeth - International Institute for Asian Studies, Leiden UN-LEARNING THE STRATAGEMS: QING PEDAGOGICAL EFFORTS AGAINST POISONOUS WARRING STATES LEGACIES Un-learning the Stratagems: Qing Pedagogical Efforts against Poisonous Warring States Legacies Abstract: This contribution explores the efforts Confucian pedagogue of the Qing-era Lu Longqi 陸 隴 其 (1630–1692) in “purifying” the collection Han Zhanguo ce 戰 國策 (Warring States Stratagems), who, according to him, risked to corrupt the youth of his time. In order to to allow impressionable young people to “taste the taste without being affected by his poison ”, Lu and his collaborators drafted an elaborate publication which contrasted the actions of the men of the Warring States period (475–221 BC) with those of their most virtuous contemporary, Mencius. IT Questo contributo esplora gli sforzi del pedagogo confuciano di epoca Qing Lu Longqi 陸隴其 (1630–1692) nel “purificare” la raccolta Han Zhanguo ce 戰國策 (Stratagemmi degli Stati Combattenti), che a suo dire rischiava di corrompere la gioventù del suo tempo. Al fine di permettere ai giovani impressionabili di “gustarne il sapore senza essere colpiti dal suo veleno”, Lu e i suoi collaboratori redassero un’elaborata pubblicazione che metteva in contrasto le azioni degli uomini del periodo degli Stati Combattenti (475–221 a.C.) con quelle del loro più virtuoso contemporaneo, Mencio. Read Tay Wei Leong - Independent scholar BUILDING A HEAVENLY KINGDOM ON EARTH: A STUDY ON TAIPING PRIMERS Building a Heavenly Kingdom on Earth: A Study on Taiping Primers Abstract: Durante il loro tentativo di governo (1850–64) i Taiping promulgarono tre testi per l’infanzia: Poemi per bambini (Youxue shi 幼 學詩), Classico dei tre caratteri (Sanzijing 三 字經) e (Classico) dei mille caratteri redatto per editto imperiale (Yuzhi qianzi zhao 御製 千字詔), più a fine propagandistico-religioso che come supporto all’apprendimento della lingua. L’articolo ne rintraccia le origini nell’appropriazione, da parte dei protestanti, delle tradizionali tecniche pedagogiche cinesi per finalità di conversione ed evidenzia le prospettive teologiche, soteriologiche e storiche dei leader Taiping, i quali combinarono elementi della cultura cinese con la letteratura protestante vernacolare. Read VINCI, Renata – Università degli Studi di Palermo TEORIE E PRATICHE PER UN’EDUCAZIONE MODERNA DEI GIOVANI NELLA STAMPA PER RAGAZZI TRA XIX E XX SECOLO Theories and practices for a modern education of young people in children's press between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Abstract: : That images could support texts to reach all sorts of readers, including children, was a key topic of Chinese public discourse in the modern press. In 1897 Liang Qichao also emphasized how entertaining pedagogical methods (such as songs and games) were essential to the reform of the Chinese education system and development of a modern nation. Presenting some early Chinese children’s magazines, this paper illustrates how they combined modern printing techniques and expressive modes to perform theories and practices on education circulating in China at the turn of the century. Read DE NIGRIS, Ornella – Sapienza Università di Roma L’UMANESIMO NELLA RAPPRESENTAZIONE DEI BAMBINI DI FENG ZIKAI Humanism in the representation of children by Feng Zikai Abstract: Feng Zikai 豐子愷 (1898- 1975) was a prolific painter, essayist, educator and translator, who is commonly considered the father of manhua (comics) in China. His work’s main subject was childhood: the concept of ‘childlike innocence’ can be seen across his work since the 1920s when his comics were first published in the periodical press. Starting from a selection of comics produced between 1927 and 1929, this work aims to investigate how this intellectual represented childhood and to which extent his representations can be considered innova- tive with respect to the Chinese artistic tradition, in which childhood was a much-appreciated pictorial subject.
