DESCRIPTION:Writing the volume on "the Ming" for a series entitled "Dynast
 ies" provides the opportunity to reflect on what we mean when we use this 
 English term in the context of China's past. Recent historiographical deba
 tes on the validity of the term have alternatively seen "dynasty" as a use
 ful heuristic device enabling truly comparative global history\, or a colo
 nialist imposition designed to exoticize\, even delegitimise\, the "non-We
 stern" polity. This talk will use the example of Great Ming to revisit thi
 s contentious issue\, and think about what the Chinese case might contribu
 te to the larger debate.\nSpeakers:\nCraig Clunas (Oxford)
