趣旨
This conference will conclude our four-year research project entitled ‘Asian Elites in History: Social Network and Cultural Representation’ supported by a grant-in-aid of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, a subsidiary institution under the Japanese Ministry of Education and Science. It has been our intention to conduct comparative studies of Asian elites in late medieval/early modern and modern periods on the premises that they formed social strata on the basis of intellectual, religious, occupational, regional and consanguineous networks and that they strengthened social bond and advanced prestige and power by engaging themselves in cultural production and practice. We have held a series of seminars on various aspects concerning Asian elites including ‘Travels and Excursions’, ‘Genealogy and Family History’, ‘Asian Elites in the Multi-lingual World’, ‘Print and Literature’, ‘Self-portraits’ and ‘Traditional Elite and Modern Elite’.

The objective of the coming international symposium is to investigate into the historical characters of the elites in Asia from the viewpoints of comparative social and cultural history. When we say elites, we have in mind counter elite, cultural elite, sub-elite, etc. in addition to power elite. The definition of elite is given to the hands of the participants.

Confronted with the Western impact, Asian peoples came to share a common experience in the early nineteenth century. Even though Asian societies had already attained a high degree of refinement by then, reforms on the European model were considered as a matter of the greatest urgency for survival and the elites were social strata that displayed leadership in the difficult process in which Asia negotiated European influences. It is in this context of the Western impact and modernisation that problems concerning the elites have formed one of the focal points for discussion in the fields of history, sociology and Marxism in Asia for the last half a century. Debates have centred on the binaries of class or status, an open or a closed social group, revolution or modernisation, and so forth.

However, recent developments in humanistic researches, particularly in social history and cultural studies, have opened up a fertile field for scholars to explore. Moreover, European modernity is being gradually decentralised and this perception has lead them to trace the roots of the changes in contemporary Asia in the history precedent to the Western impact and to seek a continuity rather than a rupture in the history of Asia for the last several centuries. It is now possible for us to put modernisation theory back to its place and carry out comparative studies of Asian elites such as Mandarin literati in China, Yanbans in Korea, Samurais in Japan, middle classes in colonial India, and poets and Ulamas in West Asia from a freer, longer and deeper perspective.
