동아시아 지성사 독회모임
An interdisciplinary reading group exploring East Asian political thought and intellectual history through new methodological lenses.
Working across the history of ideas, cultural history, political history, and international relations, we seek a new scholarly language grounded in the historical experience of East Asia.
About the Reading Group
Founded in June 2024, the East Asian Intellectual History Reading Group brings together researchers in the history of ideas, cultural history, political history, and international relations to develop new methodologies for studying East Asian political thought.
We critically engage the methodological traditions of intellectual and conceptual history — J.G.A. Pocock, Elías Palti, Quentin Skinner, Michel Foucault — while testing these approaches against concrete cases: late Chosŏn political thought, Ming-Qing village society, Chosŏn-Qing tributary relations, modern Sino-Korean history, and postcolonial Korean trusteeship debates.
Our aim is to develop concepts and theories — a new scholarly "language" — capable of fully articulating East Asia's historical experience, and through it to offer East Asian responses to the universal themes of political science: the state, sovereignty, governance, and international order.
