The Ming–Qing dynastic transition in seventeenth-century China was an epochal event that reverberated in Qing writings and beyond; political disorder was bound up with vibrant literary and cultural production. Women and National Trauma in Late Imperial Chinese Literature focuses on the discursive and imaginative space commanded by women. Encompassing writings by women and by men writing in a feminine voice or assuming a female identity, as well as writings that turn women into a signifier through which authors convey their lamentation, nostalgia, or moral questions for the fallen Ming, the book delves into the mentality of those who remembered or reflected on the dynastic transition, as well as those who reinvented its significance in later periods. It shows how history and literature intersect, how conceptions of gender mediate the experience and expression of political disorder.
Why and how are variations on themes related to gender boundaries, female virtues, vices, agency, and ethical dilemmas used to allegorize national destiny? In pursuing answers to these questions, Wai-yee Li explores how this multivalent presence of women in different genres provides a window into the emotional and psychological turmoil of the Ming-Qing transition and of subsequent moments of national trauma.

刘咏聪主编的《性别视野中的中国历史新貌》是第一部从专题史切入，构建性别视野中中国历史新貌的论文集。全书“内篇”上、下共有30多位来自海峡两岸、香港地区、美国及加拿大的作者，分别通过发掘个别专题领域之性别内容而共同参与改写历史、构建历史新貌的初步工程。有关讨论牵涉30多个不同领域中的性别课题，虽未臻齐备，但已尝试尽力包罗，希望能启动以性别思维补充甚至重写历史之长远工作。“外篇”部分则主要选录中外名家导航性语录，内容围绕性别视野如何有利于提升我们对历史之理解，包括整体性论述和断代或分期论述。
《性别视野中的中国历史新貌》力求广泛展示性别视野对中国历史研究的价值。当代学者已不甘停留于努力“在历史中发现女性”的阶段，而是希望以性别作为一项分析工具，挑战既有的历史叙述和解释，并以两性平等立场重新解读历史。随着性别视野的引入，当代史家又同时强调阶级、地域、族群等思维为历史研究带来之活力与贡献。学风所及，中国历史已陆续呈现出纷繁多样的崭新面貌。

In early modern England, housewives, clergymen, bloodletters, herb women, and patients told authoritative tales about the body. By the end of the eighteenth century, however, medicine had begun to drown out these voices. This book uses patients' perspectives to argue that changes in the relationship between rich and poor underlay this rise in medicine's authority. In a detailed examination of health, healing, and poor relief in eighteenth-century Bristol, the author shows how the experiences of the hospitalized urban poor laid the foundations for modern doctor-patient encounters. Within the hospital, charity patients were denied the power to interpret their own illnesses, as control of the institution shifted from lay patrons to surgeons. Outside the hospital, reforms of popular culture stigmatized ordinary people's ideas about their own bodies. Popular medicine became working-class medicine, associated with superstition and political unrest.

《身体空间与科学：梅洛-庞蒂的空间现象学研究》是国内第一本空间现象学专著。全书以“空间”这个核心哲学问题为线索，利用身体、空间、科学这三个关键词，讨论了20世纪法国最重要的哲学家、现象学家梅洛一庞蒂在牛顿的绝对空间与康德的先天直观形式之外开辟出的理解空间的第三条道路。作者还尝试利用“现象科学”的新概念来解决当代中国社会面临的一个百年学术难题：中医科学性难题，为重新理解和阐释中国的科学传统与文化传统提供了全新的思想资源。
