SUMMARY:The 14th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 14th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon:\nMeasuring Reliability in the Wartime Transport of Provisions: The Case of Mao Yuanyi (1594-1641) \n  \n  \nPresenter: Masato Hasegawa (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science)\nCommentators: Dr. Charlotte Backerra\, Dr. Julia Schneider \nTime: Tuesday\, 11.06.2019\, 4 pm (c.t.) – 6 pm\nVenue: VG 2.101\, University of Göttingen\n \n  \nAbstract \nThis paper examines the notion of efficiency and reliability in the wartime transport of provisions during the late Ming period. Primarily drawing on writings of Mao Yuanyi (1594-1641)\, one of the most prolific writers of the period on military matters\, this study assesses how technologies\, animals\, and human labor enabled the overland transport of military provisions in late Ming society. A military strategist and advisor\, Mao participated in the Ming defense effort against the Jurchen troops in Liaodong in the early seventeenth century. In his seminal study on the conduct of war\, The Record of Military Preparedness (Wubeizhi)\, he extensively discussed the costs and benefits of the transport methods that were available at the time\, including wooden carts\, pack animals\, and water transport. Among the various methods considered in The Record of Military Preparedness\, Mao clearly favored what he called “human transport” (renyun)\, which exclusively relied on the labor of human bearers. By analyzing his writings on the transport of provisions and his forceful argument in favor of employing human labor\, this study not only illuminates the manner in which consideration over the duration and speed of transport entailed an appraisal of reliability over the long term. It also reveals how local communities in the Liaodong region became intricately involved in the planning and implementation of war in the late Ming period. \nFor an essay draft please contact us (assist@cemeas.uni-goettingen.de). \nShort Bio \nMasato Hasegawa received his PhD in History from Yale University in 2013 and previously taught Chinese\, Korean\, and East Asian history at the University of Oregon\, Columbia University\, and New York University. His research centers on the question of how individual lives intersected larger historical changes in borderlands in early modern East Asia. His dissertation\, “Provisions and Profits in a Wartime Borderland: Supply Lines and Society in the Border Region between China and Korea\, 1592–1644\,” examined the impact of cross-border wars on local society in the Chinese-Korean borderland during China’s political transition from the Ming to the Qing dynasty. Focusing on the wartime procurement and transport of provisions across the Chinese-Korean borders\, it analyzed the manner in which the logistics of cross-border military campaigns profoundly affected and disrupted the lives of individuals and the region’s agricultural cycle. He is currently revising his dissertation for publication and preparing a new project on the notion of reliability in connection with technologies\, animals\, and seasonality in the Sino-Korean borderland of the early seventeenth century. \nSource: https://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/users/mhasegawa \n  \nImage: Qi Jiguang 戚繼光 (1528-1588)\, Lianbing shiji zaji 練兵實紀雜集 [Miscellaneous notes concerning military training]\, fascicle 6\, leaf 22.

SUMMARY:Conceptions of the World in 20th-Century Chinese Historiography
DESCRIPTION:Conceptions of the World in 20th-Century Chinese Historiography\nTime: 26-27 October 2017\nPlace: Göttingen\, Germany\nOrganizer: Dr. Xin Fan\, State University of New York at Fredonia\n  \n \nOver the course of the twentieth century\, the constant writing and rewriting of history reflect aspects of the changing conceptions of the “world” in China.  Through various lenses – including but not limited to nation-states\, empires\, races\, civilizations\, cultures\, and classes – Chinese historians both creatively imagined global time and space and actively negotiated China’s position in it. This conference will posit new questions about the formation of Chinese worldviews by focusing on historiography as its primary field of inquiry. It will investigate a variety of ways in which Chinese historians constructed and deconstructed temporal and spatial concepts such as “Asian\,” “Asiatic\,” and “China.” In that manner\, the workshop will also establish an exchange between the field of China studies and global and transregional studies. A cohort of leading scholars from China\, North America\, and Europe have already committed their participation in this event\, and Professor Ge Zhaoguang from Fudan University will deliver a key speech during the event. \nThe conference is jointly hosted by the Göttingen Department of East Asian Studies\, the Center for Modern East Asian Studies and the Academic Confucius Institute. Outside sponsors: Volkswagen Foundation and Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \n  \nProgram: \n26 October 2017 \nKWZ 0.603 \n18:00 – 20:00 Keynote Speech \nGe\, Zhaoguang (Fudan University) \nGlobal Elements in Traditional Chinese Historiography (in Chinese) \n  \n27 October 2017 \nHistorische Sternwarte \nGeismar Landstr. 11\, 37083 Göttingen \n9:00 – 9:15 Opening Remarks \nFan Xin & Dominic Sachsenmaier \n9:15 – 11:15 Panel I \nMaking Sense of China and the World During the Early 20th Century \nChair: Sabine Dabringhaus (Freiburg) \nHon\, Tze-ki (The City University of Hong Kong) \nLocating China in the World: Newspapers and Textbooks in Late Qing Period \nSchneider\, Julia (Göttingen University) \nWriting a General History of China (Zhongguo tongshi): Thinking about Ethnicity in Early Nationalist Historiography \nStapleton\, Kristin (University at Buffalo) \nPopular History from the Pope of Thick-Black Studies \n11:15 – 11:45 Coffee Break \n11:45 – 13:00 Panel 2 \nProblems of Regionalism\, Universalism and Localism \nChair: Xin Fan (SUNY Fredonia; Global Fellow) \nHan\, Xiaorong (Hong Kong Polytechnic University) \nSoutheast Asia in Twentieth Century Chinese Historiography \nSchneider\, Axel (Göttingen University) \nUniversal progress and particular history: Chinese engagement with concepts of universal history \n13:00 – 14:15 Lunch Break \n14:15 – 16:00 Panel 3 \nChinese World Historical Outlooks and Marxism \nChair: TBA \nFan\, Xin (SUNY Fredonia; Global Fellow) \nThe Forced Analogy: Marxism\, Historiography\, and the Chinese Worldview \nLiu\, Xiaoyuan (University of Virginia) \nThe Chinese Communist Understanding of the World through Tibet in the 1950s \n16:00 – 16:30 Coffee Break \n16:30 – 18:30 Panel 4 \nChallenges and Opportunities of Global Historical Scholarship \nChair: Dominic Sachsenmaier (Göttingen) \nChen\, Huaiyu (Arizona State University) \nThe Rise of the “Asian History” in Mainland China in the 1950s: A Global Perspective \nWang\, Q.

SUMMARY:Manchu in Global History: A Research Language for Qing Historians
DESCRIPTION:International Symposium:\nManchu in Global History:\nA Research Language for Qing Historians\nKeynote Lecture:\nManchu Sources and the Problem of Translation\nManchu in Global History:\nA Research Language for Qing Historians\nTime: September 19-22\, 2017\nPlace: KWZ 1.601\, University of Göttingen \n\nOrganisers:\nJulia C. Schneider (Department for East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen)\nKatja Pessl (Centre for Modern East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen) \n  \nManchu Sources and the Problem of Translation\nProf. Dr. Mark Elliott (Harvard University)\nSeptember 20\, 2017\, 4-6 pm (c.t.)\nKWZ\, Room 1.601/ 0.602 \nAs an ‘ethnic minority’ with origins in the semi-nomadic civilisations of northeast Asia(Manchuria)\, the Manchus successfully ruled Han-dominated China and extended the territory of the “Great Qing” (1636/1644-1912) far into Inner Asia\, including Mongolia\, Tibet\, and East Turkestan (Xinjiang). Thereby\, they created a wide corridor\, connecting many different peoples and cultures under their rule and beyond. \nThe University of Göttingen (Department of East Asian Studies & Centre for Modern East Asian Studies) will be hosting the workshop Manchu in Global History: A Research Language for Qing Historians. We invite paper proposals from prospective speakers who offer specific case studies as well as broader studies on Qing and Manchu history. \nProf. Dr. Mark Elliott is Mark Schwartz Professor of Chinese and Inner Asian History at Harvard University.  He is one of the most well-known historians of (New) Qing history and has published influential works such as Emperor Qianlong: Son of Heaven\, Man of the World (2009)\, also available in Korean (2012) and Chinese (2014)\, The Manchu Way: The Eight Banners and Ethnic Identity in Late Imperial China (2001)\, etc..\nClick here for more details about the manchu workshop \nImage: David Baron Folgen\,Sign above gate\, CC BY-SA 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/33JdAz

SUMMARY:The Rule of Law in the PRC Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nThe Rule of Law in the People’s Republic of China: Statements\, Realities and Insights (Göttingen\, October 5\, 2016)\nOctober 5\, 2016 · Blauer Turm\, 13th Floor\, Room 13.122\nLibrary of the Institute of International and European LawPlatz der Göttinger Sieben 5\, 37073 Göttingen \nProgram\n Participants & Abstracts\nPapers\n Useful Information \n \nThe Rule of Law in the People’s Republic of China: Statements\, Realities\, and New Perspectives \nOrganizer: German-Chinese Institute of Law\nCo-organizer: Centre for Modern East Asian Studies \nMuch has been said and written about the rule of law in the People’s Republic of China. As the issue has recently been put on the reformist agenda again\, a review is warranted\, including a reality check. Also\, there is a need to explore\, whether new analytical approaches may offer a better understanding about these developments. \nThe CeMEAS workshop will bring together experts in the field to reflect on the reform agenda as discussed at the fourth plenary session of the CPC Central committee in 2014 and look into the details of developments in one of the most significant areas of the rule of law\, which is criminal law. In the sense of a reality check\, the workshop will also address current measures against lawyers\, activists and the legal profession more generally. \nThe workshop furthermore aims at breaking new ground in the analytical understanding of the developments.  It will address an issue\, which so far has been largely neglected in the academic analysis and which is the role of the Communist Party in promoting the rule of law. \nFurthermore\, the workshop will see and discuss social science methods of assessing the level of the rule of law by means of indicators and rankings. \nAlso\, the workshop aims at exploring new perspectives in seeing rule of law developments in the people’s republic of china in comparative perspective.  So far\, such developments have been often analysed and criticised from a Western point of view.  The workshop will explore\, whether other perspectives may be taken into account in comparative work. \nLastly\, the workshop will address the international dimensions of the rule of law in the People’s Republic of China in taking into it consideration\, that country is both the subject to but also an actor in the United Nations rule of law and human rights activities.

SUMMARY:Summer School Göttingen SPIRIT 2016. "Beyond the City Limits: Rethinking New Religiosities in Asia."
DESCRIPTION:Summer School\nSummer School Göttingen SPIRIT 2016. “Beyond the City Limits: Rethinking New Religiosities in Asia.” \n18-22 July 2016. University of Göttingen\, Germany\nGöttingen Institute for Social and Cultural Anthropology (GISCA)\, Centre for Modern Indian Studies (CeMIS) & Centre for Modern East Asian Studies (CeMEAS) \nTheme\nWith the rapid urbanization across Asia\, with new cityscapes\, glittering skyscrapers\, shopping malls\, globalized forms of consumption it is easy to assume that cities are the primary sites for the production of the new. Indeed\, urbanity is often used as a synonym for modernity and Asian futures would appear to be increasingly urban. The study of religion is no exception\, and emergent trends\, practices and movements are often implicitly or explicitly connected with the city. For example\, new religious movements are commonly treated as distinctly urban phenomena that reflect middle class sensibilities and subjectivities\, concerns and consumption patterns. Moreover\, the rise of new religious forms is often understood as coming at the expense of the rural\, as when village mediumship practices are seen to give way to urban spirit cults\, or when so-called “forest monasteries” in Thailand increasingly find themselves in urban or peri-urban zones. \nBut if cities are the future\, is the country then the past? Does the focus on cities as sites of “the new” ignore the complex ways rural contexts\, settings and imaginaries are implicated and contribute to contemporary religious practice? And to what extent does the notion of “urban religion” implicitly depend on its “others”? Does it reproduce the urban/rural distinction as one of the “great divides”  (Latour 1993) that have been central to the experience of modernity? In truth\, it is increasingly difficult to sustain sharp distinctions between rural and urban. Across Asia\, increased mobility especially patterns of rural/urban migration and the spread of communications and transport technologies connect urban and rural settings like never before improved education rates have seen the rise of an increasingly sophisticated\, cosmopolitan and politically engaged rural population. Yet nationalist constructions of identity and modernizing discourses across Asia have at once denigrated the rural\, “the peasantry”\, as backwards and in need of “development” while at the same time valorizing them as embodying traditional values and the essence of national identities. Religion is similarly implicated in such discourses\, at times standing for the “other” of modernity\, at others functioning as the locus of ethnic or national identities. \nYet so-called urban and rural religious practices do not constitute two opposed spheres of activity but are interconnected in various ways. Indeed\, it is frequently the very notion of an opposition between city and country that facilitates interactions and networks that traverse urban and rural contexts. For example\, urban religious institutions may recruit ritual specialists from the countryside because they are seen to have retained “correct” knowledge and techniques that urban practitioners have lost (Davis 2016)\, or city dwellers may see rural settings as sites of spiritual potential and seek out sites of pilgrimage\, of refuge or retreat. \nThis Summer School takes up these issues and asks how the study of contemporary religious life in Asia can benefit from “thinking beyond the city”\, whether “the city” is understood as a spatial entity\, a site of enquiry\, or as an analytical category. It will call into question many of the assumptions that go along with the study of urban religiosity and will attempt to bring “the urban” explicitly into relationship with its various “others” – such as the “rural”\, “hinterland”\, “periphery”\, or “village”. Central questions include: How do patterns of pilgrimage\, travel and tourism\, or the circulation of religious symbols or objects connect “urban” and “rural”? How do religious networks and practices help particular actors – such as rural/urban migrants – to negotiate tensions between their rural and urban lives? How do notions of nostalgia and pastness figure in projects of urban religio-spiritual renewal? How do dialectics of religion\, secularity and rationality play out in rural/urban spaces? And to what extent does the notion of an urban/rural divide itself inform religious practices and imaginaries? A final avenue of questioning focuses on the hierarchization of city and country and the relative superiority and agency attributed to the former. Just as postcolonial and critical theory have\nchallenged discourses that contrast a dynamic and active occident with a relatively static\, passive orient\, the Summer School will critically examine the manner in which similar distinctions between city and country have inflected the study of religion in Asia. It will ask how “provincializing” the city can lead to new insights and approaches that can reveal blindspots and draw attention to power differentials in Asian societies. The purpose would be to challenge the processes of othering that assign a relatively passive or reactive role for the countryside and to instead draw attention to the agency of rural actors\, to alternative imaginaries of the future\, and to ask what role religion plays in specifically rural modernities. \nThe summer school thus invites participants to engage with\, and develop\, their own work through an exploration of the way religion and spirituality intersect with three key themes: (1) traversing and transcending the rural/urban divide; (2) the city and its “others”; (3) provincializing the city. A range of international speakers has been invited whose collective expertise connects questions of rural/urban religiosities and critical engagements with the category of “the city” in contemporary Asia. An innovative approach of this Summer School is to include both scholars who work on religion and those do not but whose research aims to critically engage with the category of “the city”. This combination of perspectives is expected to produce stimulating exchange and novel insights. \nSpeakers will include: \n\nProf. Michael Herzfeld\, Harvard University\nProf. Ursula Rao\, Leipzig University\nProf. Christina Schwenkel\, UC Riverside\nProf. Julia Huang\, National Tsing Hua University\, Taiwan (tentative)\nDr. Radhika Gupta\, Göttingen University\n\nProf. Herzfeld will provide a public keynote as well as a general workshop on successful thesis writing. Podium discussions and morning lectures will provide theoretical frames and ethnographic snapshots from diverse Asian contexts. In addition\, students will participate in small working and reading groups moderated and mentored by each of the invited speakers over the course of the School. Mandatory readings for these sessions will be shared in advance. Participants will have the opportunity to introduce their own work in working groups\, to connect their research to each of the three theme blocs\, in order to develop new ideas and learn new approaches for their own work. \nHighlights of the cultural program include: \n\nA visit to the historic Bodenwerder synagogue from 1825\, which was translocated to Göttingen in 2006 to find out about the transformation of religious sites in a local context.\nA city tour\, including guided tours of historically significant cemeteries.\n\nAbout the organizers\nGISCA\, CEMIS and CeMEAS are key institutions building research\, network and outreach capacities in the study of religions at Göttingen Research campus (GRC). Bringing together scholars in the social sciences and humanities for inter-disciplinary dialogue\, they in particular foster an appreciation of regional diversity and intra- and cross-regional entanglements in Asia. With GISCA’s expertise in the anthropology of Southeast Asia and CEMIS and CeMEAS core competence in South and East Asia respectively\, these centers complement each other\, join creative forces and pool their excellent academic networks to organize this Summer School. \nContact\nKarin Klenke at karin.klenke@cemis.uni-goettingen.de\nhttps://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/531996.html

SUMMARY:Language Diversity in the Sinophone World: Policies\, effects\, and tradition
DESCRIPTION:Language Diversity in the Sinophone World: Policies\, effects\, and tradition\nInternational Symposium\n 11 – 13 June 2015\nGöttingen University\, Historical Observatory\n\nDescription  \nLanguage diversity is a ubiquitous feature in the sinophone world. In the past and present\, language planning agencies in the area commonly – if not uncontroversially – referred to as “Greater China” have responded differently to the challenges of multilingualism. After several decades of national language policy\, Mandarin is now widely used and broadly accepted in Mainland China\, Singapore\, and Taiwan. It is used to a much lesser degree in Hong Kong and Macao\, where Cantonese\, the major regional language\, arguably enjoys a higher prestige than other so‐called “dialects” elsewhere. At the same time\, there are notable differences with regard to international language planning – most important\, the incorporation of English into school curricula and/or the acceptance of English as an official language. \nOne purpose of the symposium is to bring together scholars who are working on language planning and official responses to language diversity. Another purpose is to compare the effects of language planning and the manifestations of language diversity in the daily lives of the speakers. Lastly\, we aim at situating the conference theme in a historical context. The reason behind this historical contextualization is to find out to what extent language-related phenomena are imbedded in Chinese traditions\, and to what extent they can be accounted for by analytical approaches that are not bound to Chinese culture and/or history. Topics include language contact phenomena (e.g.\, code mixing)\, multilingualism in classrooms\, language variation and language use in the media\, and nonofficial language ideologies and activities of language revivalist groups. \nKeep updated here\n \n  \n

SUMMARY:German Japanese Colloquium 2015
DESCRIPTION:German- Japanese Colloqium 2015\nKnowledge Transfer across Borders: Integrative Approaches\nWednesday\, January 14\, 2015\n4pm – 6:30pm\nAssembly Hall\, Wilhelmsplatz 1\, 37073 Göttingen \nThe festive opening of the international conference on “Knowledge Transfer Across Borders” is open to all.\n \nIn today’s globalized\, knowledge-intensive world\, the accumulation and transfer of knowledge has become a key success factor for organizations. However\, knowledge transfer is complex due to the difficulties in defining\, storing and circulating knowledge. This challenge increases even more when knowledge is transferred across national\, cultural and linguistic borders. Despite the importance of the topic\, prior research has been fragmented and sometimes inconclusive\, partly due to disciplinary boundaries. The two keynote speakers address these challenges from their respective academic backgrounds\, neurobiology and international business. \nKeynotes by\nProf. Dr. Atsushi Iriki (RIKEN Brain Science Institute\, Wako City\, Japan)\nEvolutionary Biology of the Human Mind\nProf. Dr. Markus Pudelko (International Business\, University of Tübingen)\nKnowledge Transfer in Multinational Cooperations
