Anatomy of an anticlerical discourse: the Shenbao, 1872-1878
The Shenbao, the chief daily publication of Shanghai, vividly illustrates the religious life in the treaty ports during the late nineteenth century. This documentation includes a body of anticlerical articles aimed at Buddhists and Taoists which can be identified by formal criteria, such as stereotyping, calls for harsh policies, obsessive imagination, or verbal abuse. Anticlerical articles coexist with less hostile discourses, yet constitute a specific corpus characterised by its violent language. Three major themes can be identified: clerical sexuality, violent fund-raising techniques, and, less often, black magic. An analysis of the discourse and of the underlying mentality shows that anticlericalism in this context is mostly a result of a rejection of lifestyles considered to be in contradiction to prevailing values concerning the human body and social relations.
