Abstract

Abstract(New) Sinology is like a Chinese ritual dance: the key is not the movement, but rather the positions (shi ), the moments of non‐action ‘in between’, that make rhythm and transformation possible. (New) Sinology itself occupies an in‐between position in the landscape of academic disciplines, though it is not the only one to undertake this dance, as various disciplines engage themselves into a similar quest. Its distinctiveness as intellectual inquiry is to point at intervals, interstices, gaps, cracks, pauses, poses, in‐between moments or zones in culture and human life. In that sense, Sinology does ‘mind’ gaps.
