Special Issue: Between Religious Self-Cultivation and Environmentalism: Changing Meanings of Vegetarianism in Modern China
Nikolas Broy and Matthias Schumann (eds.) – 2024
In October, a special issue on “Between Religious Self-Cultivation and Environmentalism: Changing Meanings of Vegetarianism in Modern China,” co-edited by Nikolas Broy and Matthias Schumann, appeared in the journal Twentieth-Century China. The issue explores the evolution of religiously motivated vegetarianism in Chinese societies from the late imperial period until today, with a focus on the twentieth century. By looking at three specific cases, it traces the persistence of vegetarian concepts and practices in light of growing secularist tendencies but also shows how vegetarianism became entangled with novel discourses revolving around animal protection or environmentalism. https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/issue/53263
