Hilde De Weerdt
University of Tennessee
Department of History
Hilde De Weerdt is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on pre-modern Chinese history, world history, and historical methods. Her research interests converge on bureaucracy, information, and empire, and straddle intellectual history, the cultural history of Chinese elites, and political and legal culture in imperial China.
Project Summary
Between the tenth and the thirteenth centuries Chinese elites developed both an interest in current affairs and the means to tap into, transform, and commercialize official sources of information on current affairs. News and Identity in Imperial China, 10th-13th Centuries proposes to reconstitute the networks of information sharing among literate elites and offers a case study of the political uses of print technology, and of the relationship between changing information networks and structural transformations in elite identities.
