When did China make the decisive turn from tradition to modernity?
For decades, the received wisdom would have pointed to the May
Fourth movement, with its titanic battles between the champions of
iconoclasm and the traditionalists, and its shift to more populist
forms of politics. A growing body of recent research has, however,
called into question how decisive the turn was, when it happened,
and what relation the resulting modernity bore to the agendas of
people who might have considered themselves representatives of such
an iconoclastic movement. Having thus explicitly or implicitly
'decentered' the May Fourth, such research (augmented by
contributions in the present volume) leaves us with the task of
accounting for the shape Chinese modernity took, as the product of
dialogues and debates between, and the interplay of, a variety of
actors and trends, both within and (certainly no less importantly)
without the May Fourth camp.
