Ming Qing Studies 2015

Area 10 – Scienze dell'antichità, filologico-letterarie e storico-artistiche

Most of the articles in Ming Qing Studies 2015 deal with the interaction between Western and Chinese culture. Two of these articles, by Lorenzo Andolfatto and Yunwen Gao, deal with Liang Qichao’s literary works and one, by Martina Turriziani, with Kang Youwei in Italy. Giorgio Casacchia presents Xu Xiake’s long travelogue, recently translated into Italian. Xie Xin-zhe’s article is an enquiry of the causes of penal procedure reform of 1786. Two articles, by Giulia Falato and Xie Mingguang, concern two interesting aspects on Christian missionary work. Diego Cucinelli discusses on some Japanese supernatural stories. Four articles by Chen Yushu, Donatella Failla, Marco Meccarelli and Barbara Witt, deal with various aspects of the connection between fine arts and intercultural relations. This issue has been dedicated to Prof. Lionello Lanciotti (1925-2015) who has greatly contributed to the development of Chinese studies in Italy through his scientific works, his organisational activities, and his editing management.
