"Treaty Ports" and Sino-Foreign Interaction in 19 ^th Century China

Following the Nanjing Treaty of 1842 and the opening of five "treaty ports", Sino-foreign interaction increased and was shaped by semi-colonial conditions within defined geographical spheres. Notwithstanding treaty revisions, various conflicts and even war, the treaty ports flourished, often also to the benefit of their Chinese inhabitants. The seminar discusses examples of dissent and cooperation, before concentrating on the cities Canton , Shanghai , Hankow and Hong Kong . The treaty port system will be analyzed from the perspectives of imperialism, (semi-)colonialism, and modernism. In addition, we shall focus on networks and certain individuals, in order to develop a broader picture of Sino-foreign interaction during the 19 ^th century.
