Organized around four themes—“Parameters of Human Life,” “Formations of the Human Subject,” “Disciplining Knowledge,” and “Deciphering Health”—it scrutinizes the development of scientific knowledge and technical interest in human organization within an evolving Chinese society. Spanning the Ming-Qing, Republican, and contemporary periods, its twenty-four original, synthetic chapters ground the mutual construction of “China” and “the human” in concrete historical contexts. As a state-of-the-field survey, a definitive textbook for teaching, and an authoritative reference that guides future research, this book pushes Sinology, comparative cultural studies, and the history of science in new directions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Acknowledgements  List of Illustrations  Notes on Contributors    Introduction: A New Order of Things: Scientific Visions of the  Human in China   Howard Chiang    Part 1: Parameters of Human Life  1 Technology   Francesca Bray    2 Cartography   Alexander Akin    3 Ethnography   Laura Hostetler    4 Historiography   Matthew W.
