The University of Portsmouth’s ‘Port Towns and Urban Cultures’ group, in collaboration with its partners Lloyd’s Register Foundation Heritage and Education Centre, Dalian Maritime University and Hong Kong Baptist University, invites papers from postgraduate (Masters and PhD-level) students on the theme of cultural influences, transfer, hybridity and otherness in Treaty Port China.

朴茨茅斯大学的“港口城镇文化”小组与其合作伙伴劳埃德船级社基金会遗产和教育中心、大连海事大学和香港浸会大学合作,邀请研究生(硕士和博士学位 )就中国通商口岸的文化影响、转移、混合性等其他主题发表论文。

The Treaty Port system was imposed by European, and later Japanese, powers on Chinese port settlements from 1842 until the end of the Second World War. As bustling areas of trade and industry many Chinese treaty ports became hubs of international business, and social and cultural activity which forever transformed the experiences of their residents and workers.

从1842年到第二次世界大战结束,欧洲和后来的日本将通商口岸制度强加给中国的港口殖民地。作为繁华的贸易和工业地区,许多中国的通商口岸成为国际商业、社会和文化活动的中心,永远改变了其居民和工人以往的经历。

This conference aims to explore the emerging scholarship on many aspects of Chinese port life and work including but not limited to:
