> The 1911 Revolution and its Significance
>
>
> On October 10, 1911, the revolutionary members of an army unit stationed
> in
> Wuchang, a suburb of the central Chinese city of Wuhan, mutinied against
> local officials. Fearing preemptive arrest, the revolutionaries had acted
> precipitously. But after their victory, a chain of similar uprisings led
> to
> the capitulation of the Qing Dynasty. What began as a feeble insurgency
> resulted, in only a few short months, with the eradication of three
> centuries of Manchu rule and the establishment of the Republic of China.
>
>
> Given its decisive end to the imperial system, the 1911 Revolution was a
> marked success that reverberated throughout Asia and the world. Yet at
> least
> in the short term, the revolution failed to achieve the broader objectives
> of territorial sovereignty, social and cultural development, and economic
> prosperity which motivated Sun Yat-sen and other advocates of
> republicanism.
> Instead, the events of 1911 launched a protracted struggle to accomplish
> these complex objectives. Its successes and failures--whether temporary or
> long-lived--remain critical foundations for the institutions and
> ideologies of
> modern China, and indeed, the world.
>
>
> Conference in Commemoration of the 1911 Revolution
>
> At the centennial of the revolution, the legacies of 1911 remain critical
> points of engagement for scholars, political actors, and their
> constituents
> both in China and abroad. Understanding the revolution allows us to engage
> more fully with the shifting trajectories and meanings of Chinese
> modernity
> and the Chinese nation. At the same time, the revolution was a
> world-historical event, inspiring similar struggles for social and
> cultural
> change in Asia and the world in ways that offered an important alternative
> to similar programs derived from the European enlightenment.
>
> In recognition of the significance of the Revolution to China and the
> world,
> the UHM Center for Chinese Studies plans a commemorative conference,
> preceding the 2011 national meeting of the Association for Asian Studies,
> that will bring together a diverse group of experts on Chinese history,
> politics, literature, anthropology, and law, among other fields from The
> People's Republic, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, the U.S., Canada, Europe, and
> Australia.
>
> The goal of the conference is to consider the specific events of 1911 as
> well as the broader implications of revolution and change in modern China,
> including its global impact. At its conclusion, members of the conference
> will discuss the pedagogical implications of the 1911 Revolution.
> Participants in the conference will be asked to contribute materials such
> as
> paper drafts, abstracts, and suggested reading lists oriented towards
> undergraduate research and comprehension, with the goal of establishing a
> teaching-oriented website that will serve as an ongoing reference point
> for
> students and educators.
>
> Hawai'i and the Chinese Revolution
>
>
> The state of Hawai'i and its flagship university campus at Manoa are a
> natural
> choice for a 1911 commemoration for several reasons, including the large
> concentration of Chinese-studies scholars at the university and our close
> geographical and cultural ties to China. Of even greater significance,
> perhaps,
> is the importance of Hawai'i in the personal and political history of Sun
> Yat-sen. As a student and young man, Sun Yat-sen spent close to a decade
> in
> Hawai'i, attending local schools and establishing important political and
> financial contacts within the local Chinese community. Indeed, the Chinese
> in
> Hawai'i, including Sun Yat-sen's brother and family on Maui, provided
> critical
> support for the 1911 Revolution and Sun's subsequent political activities.
> At
> least one presentation for the conference will consider the significance
> of the
> Chinese diaspora and Hawai'i connection for Sun Yat-sen.
>
>
> The planned panels for the conference highlight multiple facets of the
> 1911
> Revolution, including its implications for historical research,
> philosophy,
> politics and national memory, gender studies, world history, and pedagogy.
> These are areas where University of Hawai'i faculty have made significant
> contributions, but also provide opportunities to bring together different
> perspectives from scholars throughout the global community. In this sense,
> the goal of the conference is to stress implications of the 1911
> Revolution
> on a number of levels--as a historical legacy of Hawai'i and its Chinese
> community; as a turning point for modern China; and as an event of global
> and world-historical implications.
