SUMMARY:Lecture: Lord Yang - A God and His Special Role in Local Politics of Late Qing China (1840 - 1867)
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Lord Yang – A God and His Special Role in Local Politics of Late Qing China (1840 – 1867)\nMonday\, July 14\, 2014\n2.15pm\, KWZ Room 0.608\nProf. Dr. Lo Shih- chieh \nIn early February 1855\, a group of “local bandits” led by Qu Zhenhan occupied Yueqing city of Wenzhou prefecture for a week. According to Qing officials’ report\, this incident was suppressed by the divine manifestation of Lord Yang\, a popular local deity in Wenzhou. Instead of focusing on how Qing authority regained control over local society\, this presentation takes advantage of the local materials available in Wenzhou to explore the following two questions: How does a local deity function politically in local society? What is the role of popular religion in local politics and even national politics in late Qing China? This local history study sheds light on the significance of popular religion in Chinese political culture. \nPicture: Ashley Wang\, Flames [hdr] *Explored*\, CC BY-ND 2.0\, https://www.flickr.com/photos/ashley-rly/3783945913/

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Dr. Nellie Chu
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: The Spaces Between: Corporatizing Lineage Belonging and the Making of Fast Fashion in Southern China\nThursday\, July 2\, 2015  \n6 pm\, KWZ Room 0.609\nDr. Nellie Chu (University of Göttingen)\n\n  \n \nMy presentation introduces my research on the global commodity chains for fast fashion in Guangzhou\, which I began during the period of 2010-2012. In particular\, I describe how these global commodity chains within the Pearl River Delta region of southern China entails post-socialist transformations of property and kin relations among members of long-standing lineages who currently claim use-rights to the land.  \nUsing the Zhongda garment district in southeastern Guangzhou as a case study\, I argue that the formation of global commodity chains for fast fashion in southern China entails the re-definition of lineage belonging as socialist collectives are converted to profit-driven corporations by long-standing villagers. Specifically\, I outline the historic transformation of this site from a collection of former agricultural villages known as Nanjing village during the Maoist period to a massive industrial hub\, which currently stands as a conglomerate of several neighboring urban villages which are administratively suspended between rural and urban designations.  \nI begin by narrating the re-division of the land from individualized plots loosely organized around various lineages into massive agricultural collectives during the early years of the Communist Revolution\, and the subsequent re-distribution of the land from agricultural collectives to privatized household plots during the Reform period when Deng Xiaoping promoted citizens to experiment with entrepreneurship and other capitalist practices. In particular\, I emphasize how in light of these large-scale changes\, long-standing members of Nanjing village redefine the affective and profit-driven contours of lineage belonging in face of large-scale urbanization projects. Their kin-based capitalist activities as corporate lineages in turn shape the ways in which members of these local village collectives assert their claims against the state as share-holders of the land. \nImage: Theen Moy \, Liminal Space\, https://flic.kr/p/oMZJdP\, CC BY-NC-SA 2.0

SUMMARY:Lecture: Patrick Lai 賴志成
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Green Luck? Red Luck?\nIntercultural Differences in Language from the Lens of Colour Related Expressions\n对外汉语教学之——中英色彩文化与语义对比\nTuesday\, July 7\, 2015 \n6 pm\, KWZ Room 0.603\nPatrick Lai 賴志成 (Hong Kong Institute of Education)\n \n  \n \nA comparison between Chinese and English shows that differences in language usage can arise from cultural differences. The use of colour is a prime example. With colour being an objective phenomenon\, the basic meaning of colour does not differ in the two languages. However\, the same colour can carry different meanings and nuances at deeper levels of language use due to different historic backgrounds and traditions. Studying the rich contents of colour associated expressions helps facilitate understanding of intercultural differences. In this talk\, the literature on comparative study of colour associated language will first be reviewed. Then the historical developments of colour associated expressions in both languages and cultures will be explored. The final part compares the contemporary use of colours in English and Chinese. The talk will also touch upon application of the Berlin and Kay Theory and the Barry McLaughlin Theory in this research field.\n \n通过对比英汉两种语言中词的差异，可以证明若文化不同，遣词用字也会有很大的不同。两种语言中颜色的运用就是非常典型的例子。色彩作为一种客觀现象，在中英 文中，基本含义也没有很大的差别。但由于中英两种文化由于语言习惯、历史背景、传统风俗等方面的差异，引致在理解、应用相同颜色传递深层次的语意上有很大 的差别。了解和研究带有顏色的表达的真正意义和用法，以及这些跨文化的差异，对推動文化交流会有很大的帮助。 \nThe lecture will be held in English! \nImage: Patrick Lai\n\n  \n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Prof. Dr. Chi Chung
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: The Bilateral Investment Treaty between China and Taiwan and Its Historical Background\nWednesday\, July 8\, 2015 \n6 pm KWZ 0.602\nProf. Dr. Chi Chung (Academia Sinica)\n\nThe bilateral investment treaty between China (People’s Republic of China; PRC) and Taiwan (Republic of China; ROC) took effect on January 31\, 2013. Although it is the 104th bilateral investment treaty for China and the 17th bilateral investment treaty for Taiwan\, it is a milestone for both the China-Taiwan relationship and Taiwan’s relationships with the rest of the world.  I will discuss its contents and historical background. \nLongtime observers of China and Taiwan would of course note that the word “treaty” seems politically incorrect and therefore impossible in the China-Taiwan context. Indeed\, the word “treaty” is not used in the document. I plan to provide the historical background to help explain the contents and purposes of the investment treaty. \nAfter presenting the contents of the investment treaty between China and Taiwan\, I will discuss the political history between China and Taiwan and the history of economic and social interactions between the people of China and the people of Taiwan. I will also discuss the legal history of the investment relationship between China and Taiwan. In the Conclusion\, I draw on the historical background aforementioned and the international legal scholarship on the issue of “compliance” to discuss the extent to which the investment treaty lives up to its promise.\n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Dr. Andreas Fulda
DESCRIPTION:Lecture\nPhilanthropy and civil society in China\nTuesday\, December 8\, 2015 \n6 pm\, KWZ Room 0.606\nDr. Andreas Fulda\n(School of Contemporary Chinese Studies\, University of Nottingham) \n \n\nA public talk about critical and dynamic choices for foreign and domestic grant-making\nfoundations as aid actors in the PR China\, followed by an introduction to postgraduate\ndegrees offered by the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham\, UK\n\n\nFoundations have supported the development of Chinese civil society organisations since the mid-1990s. Against the backdrop of the looming introduction of China’s Foreign NGO Management Law the speaker traces the evolution of foundations in the PRC and compares and contrasts foreign and domestic grant-making foundations based on their specific historical development trajectories\, legal statuses\, and modes of operation. This talk explores how in a period of political uncertainty\, first and second generation of foundations – foreign and domestic\, public and private\, operating and grant -making – are likely to continue to co-exist\, while converging and diverging from one another to varying degrees.\n\n\nAbout the speaker\nAs a trained social and political scientist Dr Andreas Fulda is research active in the fields of philanthropy and civil society in Greater China as well as EU-China relations. He has worked with Chinese civil society organisations for more than 10 years. Dr Fulda is\nalso the editor of the book Civil Society Contributions to Policy Innovation in the PR China (Palgrave Macmillan\, April 2015).

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Prof. Xiong Yuegen
DESCRIPTION:Lecture\nIndividual Power and the Politics of Welfare in China: Bringing Persons Back in Institutional Analysis\nTuesday\, December 15\, 2015 \n7 pm\, KWZ Room 0.606\nProf. Xiong Yuegen\n(Jacobs University Bremen; Peking University) \n  \n \n  \nDuring the past decade\, there has been a growing interest in social policy – making and welfare studies in post – socialist China. Compared to many advanced democracies\, the role of Chinese leaders in the social policy – making and welfare politics is extraordinarily influential. This issue has not been adequately studied yet.\nEmploying a case study approach\, this lecture will explore how the ideas\, individual perceptions and personal experiences of state leaders and government officials influence their intentions\, motives and strategies in social policy – making. It will also analyze how these processes are embedded within the context of economic transition\, rapid social change and globalization.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Dr. Armin Müller
DESCRIPTION:Lecture\nInformationalization and Transparency: The Changing Relations between Local Governments and Healthcare Providers in Rural China\nTuesday\, January 19\, 2016\n6 pm\, KWZ Room 0.606\nDr. Armin Müller\n(University of Göttingen)\n \nSince 2000\, the previously neglected rural health sector of the People’s Republic of China has increasingly become a focus of attention. The introduction of a rural health insurance program since 2003 and the New Health Reform since 2009 aim at its stabilization\, and the transformation of a commercialized public service back to public welfare orientation. Informal practices such as induced demand and overcharging are to be rooted out\, and replaced by regulatory compliance. An increasingly dense and comprehensive system of network-based administration and monitoring has been built up since 2000\, with policy initiatives such as the “Construction of Informationalization” (xinxihua jianshe) driving forward technological upgrading. Local governments and higher levels increasingly encroach upon doctors’ and hospitals’ fields of operations. The government is empowered vis-à-vis the providers through its enhanced access to information\, and holds them accountable to often contradictory regulatory standards. On the other hand\, however\, the providers exploit loopholes and game the new systems of monitoring in pursuit of their own interests. The effects of the technological upgrading on local governance thus remain ambiguous. \nPicture: Dr. Armin Müller

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Transformative Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Special Guest Lecture:\nTransformative Spaces of 19th Century East Asia: \n A Japanese Merchant’s Experience of Treaty Port Yokohama\nTuesday\, February 2\, 2016\n5 pm (c.t.)\, VG 3.102\nProf. Simon C. Partner\nDuke University\, Department of History \nFollowing the experiences of one merchant\, a farmer from Kōshū province (present-day Yamanashi prefecture) who left his village to open a trading venture in Yokohama in 1859\, the presentation will examine the merchant communities of Yokohama during roughly the first decade of its existence\, 1859-1873. Through this lens\, the role of the Yokohama treaty port in the political\, social\, and economic transformations of the 1860s and beyond will be explored. More broadly\, the presentation will consider the transformative agency of the East Asian treaty ports as new spaces of global exchange. \nImage: Evan Blaser\, 266\, CC BY 2.0. https://flic.kr/p/arSwzN

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Rethinking China’s Place  in Global History Comparatively
DESCRIPTION:Special Guest Lecture:\n Rethinking China’s Place in Global History Comparatively\nTuesday\, February 16\, 2016\n 5 p.m. (c.t.)\, KWZ 0.603\n Prof. Dr. Kent Deng\n The London School of Economics and Political Science\, Department of Economic History \nIn 1803\, Napoleon famously said in front of a world atlas where China was that ‘Here lies a sleeping giant (lion in other versions)\, let him sleep\, for when he wakes up\, he will shock the world’ (“Ici repose un géant endormi\, laissez le dormir\, car quand il s’éveillera\, il étonnera le monde”). \nNapoleon turned out to be right 200 years ago. China’s ‘miracle growth’ and development in the recent four decade has stunted the world. Most current observers have been very puzzled about where the energy and determination of such growth has come from. But if one takes a long-term and global view\, China’s current growth and development become rather logical\, if not entirely inevitable. \nThis talk will take the audience back to the very beginning of the formation of the Empire of China (which was at the same time the formation of one of the largest single economy in the world) and show what China managed to achieve in comparison with Europe historically. It argues that contemporary China merely reclaims its ‘rightful’ place in the world rather than invents a new one for itself. So\, the rest of the world will have to get used to it. \n

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture: China in 1968 - From the Red Guard Movement to the Sent Down Youth Movement
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture\nChina in 1968: From the Red Guard Movement to the Sent Down Youth Movement\nWednesday\, April 20\, 2016 · 5 pm   (c.t.)  KWZ 0.701\nProf. Jin Guangyao\n Department of History\, Fudan University  \n2016 is the 50th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution. In order to launch the Cultural Revolution\, Mao Zedong mobilized the Red Guard (young students) to rebel against the class enemy\, therefore the Red Guard played a vanguard role in the Cultural Revolution. In 1968\, however\, Mao ended the Red Guard movement and sent young students down to the countryside. This talk tries to discuss why Mao changed his attitude towards the Red Guard\, how the Red Guard reacted to Mao’s policy\, and what influence the Sent Down Youth movement had on the Red Guard generation.\n \nImage: Joe Wong\, Red Guards\, Tag\, CC BY 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/6MU6E5 \n  \n

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: The Uighur Separatist Movement - Its Past\, Present and Future
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture \nThe Uighur Separatist Movement – Its Past\, Present and Future\nMonday\, April 25\, 2016\, 5 pm (c.t.) KWZ 3.701\nJeremy Gong\, PhD candidate\nDepartment of War Studies\, King’s College\, London \nOver the past years China has claimed itself to be a victim of terrorist activities perpetrated by members of the Uighur Separatist Movement (USM)\, who were blamed for atrocities in Chinese cities of Urumqi\, Kunming and so on. In response Chinese authorities have militarised Xinjiang Province and expressed desire to be included in the US-led alliance fighting Global War on Terror. Who are the Uighur people? Why do they want independence from China? Why have they taken up armed struggle against the Han Chinese? Are they terrorists or freedom fighters? Unsurprisingly media reports on the USM in the West are filled with colonial narratives\, which have been provided by experts with little interest in the history of the Uighur nation or the development of the modern Chinese state. This talk intends to bring in a historical dimension to analysis of the USM to help scholars better understand the rise of Uighur militancy. Although it does not seek to find a solution to violence associated to the USM\, it invites scholars to examine China’s claim over Uighur’s territory\, evaluate China’s current policy on ethnic Muslim minorities and perhaps predict the future direction of such protracted conflict between the Han Chinese and the Uighur people. \nImage: By Jed\, CC BY 3.0\, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=7797823\nDesign: CeMEAS

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: AIRCRAFT\, SPACECRAFT\, STATECRAFT Specialist cultures and China-U.S. trade in sensitive technologies
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture\nAircraft\, Spacecraft\, Statecraft: Specialist cultures and China-U.S. trade in sensitive technologies\nMonday\, May 2\, 2016\, 6 pm (c.t.) KWZ 0.610\nAlanna Krolikowski\, PhD\nVisiting Professor of Modern Chinese Society and Economy\, Georg-August-University Göttingen \nWhy are some sensitive\, strategic high-technology industries organized into transnational production networks while others are fragmented into national industrial bases? This project explores this general question through a comparison of China-U.S. trade in two strategic\, dual-use sectors: civil commercial aircraft and spacecraft manufacture. In the aircraft sector\, Chinese and U.S. firms have expanded their trade and industrial partnerships for the manufacture of sensitive items since the 1980s. In the space sector\, Chinese and U.S. firms traded in sensitive articles for a decade before policy changes severed these exchanges in 1999. This project explains these divergent outcomes\, drawing on data collected through extensive field research. \n  \nImage: PaoPao Wang PCPOP.COM\, kindly supplied by the lecturer\nDesign: CeMEAS \n

SUMMARY:Global Food Research Colloquium - Fertilizer Use in China: Why Is It So High\, and What Can Be Done to Reduce It?
DESCRIPTION:Global Food Research Colloquium\nFertilizer Use in China: Why Is It So High\, and What Can Be Done to Reduce It?\n\nProfessor David Abler\, Ph.D.\, Agricultural\, Environmental and Regional Economics and Demography\, Penn State University\n\nTuesday\, 17.05.2016\, 16:15 to 17:45\nZHG 102\n\n\nOn Tuesday\,  May 17th  David Abler will present his research on fertilizer use in China in the Global Food Research Colloquium. The Colloquium has been organized by the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development as a joint event with the Agricultural Economics Seminar.\n\n \n   \nChina’s rates of agricultural fertilizer use per hectare are among the highest in the world\, and fertilizer is a major contributor to water pollution\, air pollution\, and greenhouse gas emissions in China. Several explanations have been put forward for the high rates of fertilizer use in China\, most of which do not stand up to close scrutiny. A number of pilot programs offering farmers information\, technical assistance\, and/or incentives to reduce fertilizer use have been tried\, almost all of which have failed. This paper surveys these explanations and programs\, identifies key unanswered research questions about fertilizer use in China\, and offers programmatic suggestions for reducing fertilizer use based on the experience of other countries.\n\n\nFind out more about Göttingen University Global Agri-Food Systems program and events on http://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/191858.html

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: Beyond Modernity - Understanding Change in Qing China (1644 – 1911)
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture\nBeyond Modernity: Understanding Change in Qing China (1644 – 1911)\nFriday\, May 20\, 2016\, 12:15 VG 2.101\nProf. Margherita Zanasi\nDirector of Asian Studies\, Department of History  at Louisiana State University \nThis lecture explores the limits of adopting a modernization approach to the study of economic change in Qing China. Recent works have successfully “decentered” developmental determinism by questioning both the uniqueness of the European experience and the imposition on non-Western countries of derivative chronologies of modernity. They have especially focused on tracing the existence in China of those elements that characterized the modernization experience in Europe\, above all the introduction of pro-market and pro-consumption policies. This approach\, however\, had the unintended consequence of keeping the historical narrative focused on the European experience\, overshadowing elements that played a uniquely important role in China\, such as population growth. \nIn the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries\, under mounting pressure from population growth\, pro-market and pro-consumption ideas and policies that had culminated in the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1711 –1799) began to lose favor. This reversal marked the beginning of the uneasy relationship with the free market that came to characterize modern China. In China\, therefore\, the fortunes of laissez faire thought and policies followed a very different path than in Europe. They emerged almost a hundred year earlier and came later to be considered unsuitable to face newly emerging problems. In China\, modernity actually arrived in the form of an increasingly interventionist state. \n  \nImage: By tanakawho\, Behind the bars\,  CC BY-NC 2.0\,  https://flic.kr/p/dYqAgS\nDesign: CeMEAS\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture: The Making of Merchants - War\, Local Government\, and Commercial Organization in Chongqing from 1750 to 1950
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture\nThe Making of Merchants – War\, Local Government\, and Commercial Organization in Chongqing from 1750 to 1950\nWednesday\, June 8\, 2016 · 12:15 pm ·  Oec 1.162\nProf. Maura Dykstra\n Caltech Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences \nThis lecture explores the formation\, development\, and expansion of merchant groups in the inland commercial center of Chongqing from the Qianlong period to the end of the Republican era. It demonstrates how Sichuan’s profile as a military base provided an urgent demand and special conditions for commercial organization at the local level. It illustrates how provincial and local institutions created an opportunity for the emergence of merchant groups whose relationship to the state grew both closer and more complicated over time. In conclusion\, this paper argues that the wartime mobilization of merchant groups in the 1930s and 1940s was the climax of two centuries of local state-building. \nPicture: 渝城图section4\, kindly provided by the speaker \n

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture: Revolution Comes to East: colonial modernity\, national subjectivity and subaltern everydayness
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture\nRevolution Comes to East: Colonial Modernity\, National Subjectivity and Subaltern Everydayness\nMonday\, June 13\, 2016 · 6pm (c.t.) KWZ 0.602\nProf. Jie-Hyun Lim\nSogang University \n  \nAsianization\, Africanization or Latin Americanization of Marxism involves more than a mere transposition of Marxian ideas to non-European countries. When revolution came to East\, events contradicted the ideology. The Bolshevik revolution seemed to deny Marx’s famous dictum of ‘the country that is more developed industrially only shows\, to the less developed\, the image of its own future.’ Based on a divergent mode of capitalist development from the ‘West’\, the Russian revolution represented ‘a revolution against Karl Marx’s Capital.’\nHowever\, revolution in Russia was not a derivative one wherein the historical authenticity of the Marxian revolution in the developed capitalist countries is tested. Viewed from entangled histories of capitalism\, colonialism\, nationalism and socialism as competing visions of the global modernity\, the Bolshevik revolution was the field of political contests of those competing visions. As the development of the global socialism showed in the twentieth century\, socialism was not consequent to capitalism but constitutive of it. Confronting subaltern everydayness\, all that solid division of the revolution and counterrevolution\, and colonial modernity and national subjectivity melts into the air. This is to trace the socialist revolution moving to East from the combined optic of the global modernity and local everydayness with a spatial stress on Asia. \n

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture: Kafka in China - Rezeptionsgeschichte eines Klassikers der Moderne
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture\n Kafka in China – Rezeptionsgeschichte eines Klassikers der Moderne\n Prof. Dr. Ren Weidong\, Beijing Foreign Studies University\nWednesday\, June 15\, 2 pm\, Käte-Hamburger-Weg 6\, KHW 0.111 \nDie Rezeption Kafkas als eines Autors der modernen deutschsprachigen Literatur und der literarischen Moderne überhaupt erfolgt in China vor dem Hintergrund der Auseinandersetzung mit der “westlichen” und der eigenen literarischen Moderne.\nMein Vortrag zeichnet die Rezeptionsgeschichte Kafkas in China seit der Öffnungspolitik 1978 nach und deckt die Dispositionen auf\, an die auch die chinesische Rezeption der westlichen literarischen Moderne insgesamt anschließt. Kafkas Werk provoziert ein neues ästhetisches Bewusstsein und verlangt eine aktive Anteilnahme des Lesers. Die Beschäftigung mit seinem Werk fordert die konventionellen Normen der chinesischen literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung heraus und stellt den mit einem traditionellen Realismus vertrauten Leser vor neue Aufgaben. So ist die Geschichte der Kafka-Rezeption auch ein Spiegelbild des Wandels von literarischen Normen\, ästhetischem Bewusstsein\, dem Erwartungshorizont und der Entwicklung der Literaturforschung in China überhaupt. \nPlease note that this event will be held in German.

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture and Roundtable Discussion - Prof. Prasenjit Duara
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture and Roundtable Discussion\nSustainability and the Crisis of Transcendence: The Long View from Asia \nPublic Lecture by Prof. Dr. Prasenjit Duara\, Duke University\nWednesday June 22\, 18:00-20:00 0.602 KWZ\nThe rise of Asia and China in particular has been accompanied by the need to project a new\, more just vision of the world that is not simply a new hegemony. Many Chinese intellectuals have sought to find inspiration in their historical and transcendent universalisms such as ‘all-under-heaven’ (tianxia). The paper is an effort to think through\nthe conceptual and political framework for understanding transcendence in post-Western modernity. Historically\, universalisms have been the source of ideals\, principles and ethics. Modern universalisms – developed from Kant to Marx – are apparently in retreat\, yielding to nationalism and consumerism.Yet the physical salvation of the world is of greatest urgency and becoming\, in some quarters\, the transcendent goal of our times. It will\, however\, need to transcend exclusive national sovereignty for its realization. The role of transnational civil society and NGOs as much as quasi-governmental and transnational agencies\, are crucial for this realization. Older approaches of dialogical transcendence may furnish us with useful methodologies of linking the personal\, the community\, the environment and the world.\nRegionalizing the Global\, Globalizing the Regional: An interdisciplinary conversation\nThursday June 23\, 9:15-11:00\n0.602 KWZ (please note the new venue!)\nRoundtable discussion with\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProf. Dr. Prasenjit Duara\, Duke University\nProf. Dr. Peter van der Veer\, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity\, Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Ravi Ahuja\, Centre for Modern Indian Studies\nProf. Dr. Matthias Koenig\, Institute for Sociology\nProf. Dr. Srirupa Roy\, Centre for Modern Indian Studies\nProf. Dr. Dominic Sachsenmeier\, Centre for Modern East Asian Studies\n\nTransregional Studies at Göttingen\nPresented by the Forum for Transregional and Global Studies\, CETREN\, CeMIS\, CeMEAS\, Academic Confucius-Institute & the Center for Theory of Culture and Society (ZTMK)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture and Roundtable Discussion - Prof. Prasenjit Duara
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture and Roundtable Discussion\nSustainability and the Crisis of Transcendence: The Long View from Asia \nPublic Lecture by Prof. Dr. Prasenjit Duara\, Duke University\nWednesday June 22\, 18:00-20:00 0.602 KWZ\nThe rise of Asia and China in particular has been accompanied by the need to project a new\, more just vision of the world that is not simply a new hegemony. Many Chinese intellectuals have sought to find inspiration in their historical and transcendent universalisms such as ‘all-under-heaven’ (tianxia). The paper is an effort to think through\nthe conceptual and political framework for understanding transcendence in post-Western modernity. Historically\, universalisms have been the source of ideals\, principles and ethics. Modern universalisms – developed from Kant to Marx – are apparently in retreat\, yielding to nationalism and consumerism.Yet the physical salvation of the world is of greatest urgency and becoming\, in some quarters\, the transcendent goal of our times. It will\, however\, need to transcend exclusive national sovereignty for its realization. The role of transnational civil society and NGOs as much as quasi-governmental and transnational agencies\, are crucial for this realization. Older approaches of dialogical transcendence may furnish us with useful methodologies of linking the personal\, the community\, the environment and the world.\nRegionalizing the Global\, Globalizing the Regional: An interdisciplinary conversation\nThursday June 23\, 9:15-11:00\n0.602 KWZ (please note the new venue!)\nRoundtable discussion with\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProf. Dr. Prasenjit Duara\, Duke University\nProf. Dr. Peter van der Veer\, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity\, Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Ravi Ahuja\, Centre for Modern Indian Studies\nProf. Dr. Matthias Koenig\, Institute for Sociology\nProf. Dr. Srirupa Roy\, Centre for Modern Indian Studies\nProf. Dr. Dominic Sachsenmeier\, Centre for Modern East Asian Studies\n\nTransregional Studies at Göttingen\nPresented by the Forum for Transregional and Global Studies\, CETREN\, CeMIS\, CeMEAS\, Academic Confucius-Institute & the Center for Theory of Culture and Society (ZTMK)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: The Realization of One Belt One Road?
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture\nThe Realization of One Belt One Road?\nWednesday June 29\, 2016  · 4 pm (c.t.) ·  Oec 1.163\nDr. Chun-Yi Lee\, Faculty of Social Sciences\, The University of Nottingham \nThe One Belt One Road (OBOR) project initiated by the President Xi Jing Ping\, took shape in March 2015. It is envisaged to connect vibrant East Asia and developed Europe via Silk Road Economic Belt\, linking China with European countries via the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. Its ultimate goal is to facilitate the trade and investment in Euroasia and promote economic growth.\nThe first step is to build upon necessarily infrastructure to facilitate the logistic trafficking\, enormous financial input is required for the initial infrastructure construction. The aim of OBOR\, therefore is to build networks of connectivity. It has to be noted that the geographical connections of ‘belt’ and ‘road’ are multiple. Two routes for silk road routes\, namely 21st Century maritime Silk Road and Maritime Silk Road Continental extension\, three main corridors embedded in Silk Road Economic belt\, respectively are Northern corridor\, Central corridor and Southern corridor\, Two main railway routes are Silk Rout trains and Trans-Siberian Railway. This corridor is extremely challenge not only because Xinjiang has already been troublous extremist segregation part. Most importantly\, what exactly the infrastructure that China intends to invest/build up from Xinjiang to Central Asian countries? This presentation therefore aims to analyse how realistic China can implement the multiple belts and roads project. \n  \nImage: By Jacopo\, Crossroads\, CC BY 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/HeCACA\nDesign: CeMEAS \n  \n
