Why this should be-how Beida's historical importance has come to transcend that of a mere institution of higher learning--is a question at the heart of this book. A study of intellectuals and political culture during the past century's tumultuous early decades, The Power of Position is the first to focus on Beida, China's oldest and best-known national university. Timothy B. Weston portrays the university as a key locus used by intellectuals to increase their influence in society. Weston analyzes the links between intellectuals' political and cultural commitments and their specific manner of living. He also compares Beijing's intellectual culture with that of the rising metropolis of Shanghai. What emerges is a remarkably nuanced and complex picture of life at China's leading university, especially in the decades leading up to the May Fourth Movement. 410 0$aBerkeley series in interdisciplinary studies of China ;$v3. 606 $aHigher education and state$zChina$xHistory 606 $aPolitical culture$zChina$xHistory 610 $aacademia. 610 $abeida. 610 $abeijing university. 610 $abeijing. 610 $achina. 610 $achinese anarchism. 610 $achinese culture. 610 $achinese history. 610 $achinese intellectuals. 610 $achinese republic. 610 $achinese students. 610 $acitizenship. 610 $acollege campus. 610 $acollege. 610 $acultural revolution. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $afree speech. 610 $ahigher education. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aintellectual culture. 610 $amay fourth movement. 610 $anational university. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apeoples republic. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aprotest. 610 $arebellion. 610 $aresistance. 610 $ashanghai. 610 $asocial change. 610 $asocial influence. 610 $asocial standing. 610 $astudent protest. 610 $astudent. 610 $atiananmen square. 610 $auniversity. 615 0$aHigher education and state$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 676 $a379.51 700 $aWeston$b Timothy B.$f1964-$01498340 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783003303321 996 $aThe power of position$93723867 997 $aUNINA
