For the next few Sunday mornings, starting Sunday 9th July at 7.30am, Carol Mang will be introducing abridged versions of what we think are a great selection of talks for you to listen to, and indulge your... Mind Matters.

In this week's episode, we will talk about the presence of Shijing poetry during the Warring States. A substantial number of Warring States and Western Han texts related to the Shijing have come to light in recent years, including philosophical treatises containing Shijing quotations, Shijing poems in historical anecdotes, and several partial or even full versions of the anthology itself. Professor Martin Kern will help us to explore how it was transmitted, how it was used and understood, and how its different interpretations shaped the written text in particular ways. He was invited by the New Asia College and the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of CUHK and Hong Kong Public Libraries to give a talk entitled “The Shijing in the Warring States: Evidence from Newly Discovered Manuscripts.”

In this week's episode, we will talk about authorship in early China. In pre-imperial China, individual authorship was not valued as much as the collective roles involved in the creation and interpretation of texts. Professor Martin Kern from Princeton University will shed light on the importance of text reception, performance and transformation and give us a new framework to think about textual agency and authority. Professor Kern was invited by the New Asia College and Department of Chinese Language and Literature of CUHK to give a talk entitled Rethinking Authorship in Early China, and we'll hear part of it this week.
