This book explores subjects such as technology and ethics, technology and gendered subjectivities (both female and male), and technology and statecraft to illuminate how material settings and practices shaped topographies of everyday experience and ideologies of government, techniques of the self and technologies of the subject. In doing so, it shows that gender principles were woven into the very fabric of empire and prompts a reexamination of imperial China's technological development.
