| Research Abstract |
During the final year of the research project, the research team focused in particular on the Nanjing Incident as history. We analyzed the history of Nanjing as discussed in English, Japanese, and Chinese, and identified areas where there was agreement as well as areas where opinion was in disagreement. We also clarified differences in methodology.
Based on the above, we next attempted to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the histories of Nanjing written in each language. Topics such as how primary materials were utilized were discussed, as were differences and similarities in historiography, and the differences with Nanjing as Myth as analyzed in previous years.
Our research has been published broadly. In addition to works that have been published or are in press, we have worked on the following.
David Askew ed., Buried Bodies, Cultural Treasure and Government Propaganda: Historical Footprints in Nanjing, 1937-38, New York and Oxford: Berghahn Books (forthcoming).
David Askew ed., H.J. Timperley and the Nanjing Atocities, New York and Oxford: Berghahn (forthcoming).
David Askew ed., Documenting a Massacre: Smythe and Bates in and Around Nanjing, 1937-38, New York and Oxford: Berghahn Books (forthcoming).
In addition to these works, we have published a large number of other works-books, book chapters, and articles-over the past years. Please see below.
