Abstract

Comment expliquer le succès actuel du christianisme parmi les populations urbaines et éduquées de la République populaire de Chine ? Pour y parvenir, il faut éclairer à la fois les facteurs historiques et culturels créant la possibilité du christianisme en Chine et les facteurs individuels transformant cette possibilité en devenirs concrets. Il s’agit donc de réaliser une véritable sociologie des conversions, en ne négligeant pas ce que celles-ci possèdent de proprement religieux.

Abstract

To the Victorians, the Chinese were invariably "inscrutable." The meaning and provenance of this impression--and, most importantly, its workings in nineteenth-century Protestant missionary encounters with Chinese religion--are at the center of Eric Reinders's 'Borrowed Gods and Foreign Bodies, 'an enlightening look at how missionaries' religious identity, experience, and physical foreignness produced certain representations of China between 1807 and 1937. Reinders first introduces the imaginative world of Victorian missionaries and outlines their application of mind-body dualism to the dualism of self and other. He then explores Western views of the Chinese language, especially ritual language, and Chinese ritual, particularly the kow-tow. His work offers surprising and valuable insight into the visceral nature of the Victorian response to the Chinese--and, more generally, into the nineteenth-century Western representation of China.
