SUMMARY:Digital Dialogues: Nationalism in China and Europe: Global Divergence and Convergence of an Idea
DESCRIPTION:Nationalism in China and Europe: Global Divergence and Convergence of an Idea\n\n\n  \nStefan Berger Professor of Social History\, Ruhr Universität Bochum\nXin Fan Associate Professor of History\, State University of New York (Fredonia)\n  \nJuly 06\, 2022\, 2:00 PM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Campus: Oeconomicum 0.169 (University of Göttingen\, Platz d. Göttinger Sieben 3\, 37073 Göttingen) \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nNationalism as a concept is often considered to be rooted in European experience. However\, the introduction\, translation\, and appropriation of nationalism have also changed the course of history in East Asia. On this panel\, Stefan Berger and Xin Fan contrast and compare the role of nationalism in the making and unmaking of modern China and Europe over the course of the twentieth century\, and they ask\, ––What is the role of nationalism in unifying or dismantling political formations? Why did it break Europe into multiple states but hold China together as a unitary political entity? To answer these questions\, they return to the historical writings about the nation during the twentieth century and re-examine the global divergence and convergence of nationalism as an idea. Getting beyond the ethnic-centric framework of historical interpretations\, the presenters attempt to forge a truly global dialogue on nationalism studies in the twentieth-first century. \n  \nThe speakers: \nStefan Berger is Professor of Social History and Director of the Institute for Social Movements at Ruhr Universitaet Bochum. He is also executive chair of the Foundation History of the Ruhr in Bochum and a Honorary Professor at Cardiff University in the UK. He has worked extensively on comparative labour history\, the history of historiography\, nationalism\, the theory of history\, British-German relations\, industrial heritage\, the memory of social movements and the history of deindustrialization. His latest monograph is ‘History and Identity: How Historical Theory Shapes Historical Practice\, Cambridge University Press\, 2022. \nXin Fan is Associate Professor of History at the State University of New York at Fredonia. His research areas include Chinese intellectual history\, historiography\, and global history. He is the author of World History and National Identity in China: The Twentieth Century (Cambridge University Press\, 2021)\, and he also coedited Receptions of Greek and Roman Antiquity in East Asia (Brill\, 2018). \n.\nThis workshop is part of the Digital Workshop Series “Digital Dialogues 數字對話”..\n\n\n.\n.\nOrganizers:\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nWorldmaking from a Global Perspective: A Dialogue with China

SUMMARY:Lecture: Empire of Paper. Missionaries\, Diplomats\, and Early Sinologists as Social Carriers of Translingual Practices and Worldviews
DESCRIPTION:Empire of Paper. Missionaries\, Diplomats\, and Early Sinologists as Social Carriers of Translingual Practices and Worldviews\n\nEugenio Menegon\nAssociate Professor of History\, Boston University\n  \nJuly 07\, 2022\, 06:00 PM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Campus: VG 3.103 (University of Göttingen\, Verfügungsgebäude\, Platz der Göttinger 7\, 37073 Göttingen) \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nDictionaries compiled in the last phase of the manuscript age (late 16th to early 19th century) acted as metaphorical soldiers of the “empire of paper” that European observers in China – predecessors of the modern China watchers – enlisted to crack the secrets of the Chinese language and to convert the Chinese to Christianity. Through them\, information on China\, its language\, and culture circulated in Europe\, and assisted the birth of academic sinology. Such texts also reflect the role of missionaries\, diplomats\, and sinologists as “social carriers” of a hybrid cultural worldview developed between Europe and China\, and their translingual practices.  The story of a vocabulary preserved at the Vatican Library\, the object of this study\, illuminates the past of the Catholic mission in imperial Beijing during the eighteenth century\, and in particular the operations of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith or de Propaganda Fide\, the “ministry of missions” of the Holy See. It also shows how linguistic knowledge of Chinese was treasured and sought for by European diplomats\, linguists\, and missionaries alike\, and how manuscript culture continued to have an important role in the cross-cultural circulation of knowledge about China well into the nineteenth century. \n.\n\n\nThis lecture is part of the lecture series Conceptions of World Order and Their Social Carrier Groups.\n\n\n.\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEugenio Menegon 梅歐金 (BA University of Venice Ca’ Foscari\, Italy; MA & PhD\, UC Berkeley) teaches Chinese history and world history at the Department of History at Boston University\, and was Director of the Boston University Center for the Study of Asia in 2012-2015. His interests include Chinese-Western relations in late imperial times\, Chinese religions and Christianity in China\, Chinese science\, the intellectual history of Republican China\,  the history of maritime Asia\, and Chinese food history.  He has been Research Fellow in Chinese Studies at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium)\, An Wang Post-Doctoral Fellow at Harvard University’s Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Boston University Humanities Center Junior and Senior Fellow\, a Member of the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton\, and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies at Boston College.\n\n\n\n\n\nHe has published widely\, including the book Ancestors\, Virgins\, and Friars: Christianity as a Local Religion in Late Imperial China (Harvard University Press\, 2009; recipient of the AAS 2011 Joseph Levenson Book Prize) centers on the life of Catholic communities in Fujian province between 1630 and the present.

SUMMARY:Lecture: The World of Everyday Political Thought: A Transcultural History of a “Chinese” Rhetorical Curriculum\, ca. 1200–1600
DESCRIPTION:The World of Everyday Political Thought: A Transcultural History of a “Chinese” Rhetorical Curriculum\, ca. 1200–1600\nShoufu Yin\nAssistant Professor\, University of British Columbia\n  \nJuly 11\, 2022\, 01:00 PM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Campus: ERZ 1.201 (University of Göttingen\, Waldweg 26\, 37073 Göttingen) \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nThis talk has two goals. First\, it develops a new approach to the studies of political theory and philosophy\, one that I call everyday political thought. This approach invites us to explore how ordinary individuals were able to come up with remarkable ideas despite the fact that they were living under and working within different forms of oppressive powers. Second\, employing everyday political thought as method\, I provide a new narrative of the history of early modern political thought by excavating a rhetorical curriculum that flourished in East Eurasia. This rhetorical curriculum trained individuals to write official documents in literary Sinitic\, a lingua franca of the regions. I use documents in Chinese\, Mongolian\, Manchu\, and Persian\, among other languages\, to reconstruct how the curriculum took its shape under Mongol-ruled China\, flourished in post-Mongol East Eurasia\, until it was finally restructured under the Manchu Empire. Practicing both close and distant readings of a large number of previously untapped sources that have survived in different parts of the world\, I show that this form of education enabled individuals thus trained to philosophize the state\, bureaucracy\, and counterfactual histories in their everyday settings. In sum\, this talk seeks to demonstrate how new method and toolkits\, combined with large corpora of overlooked materials\, will allow us to write new kinds of intellectual histories that decenters Western Europe and China while foregrounding the theoretical contributions of “everyday” thinkers of different locals and traditions. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series Conceptions of World Order and Their Social Carrier Groups. \n  \nSpeaker: \nShoufu Yin is an assistant professor in history at the University of British Columbia. His research and teaching center on Chinese and Inner Asian political culture and thought in global historical contexts. Specializing in areas where cultural history meets comparative philosophy\, he works on a wide array of previously unknown\, untapped\, and understudied sources in different languages—literary Sinitic (classical Chinese)\, Korean\, Manchu\, Mongolian\, Persian\, Latin\, and Greek\, to name a few. As such\, his publications show that it is productive to engage the intellectual world of hitherto overlooked and marginalized groups—including peasant women who fought in wars\, Manchu translators who processed imperial documents\, and anonymous typesetters behind the production of books. Ultimately\, his scholarly passion lies in writing new kinds of global intellectual histories that foreground the theoretical contributions of both “canonical” and “everyday” thinkers of different traditions. \n.\n\n.\n\n\nOrganizers:\n\n\n.\n\n\n\n\n\nWorldmaking from a Global Perspective: A Dialogue with China\n\n.\n\n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n\n.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Hun 魂 and Po 魄: An ancient Chinese approach to human psyche and soul
DESCRIPTION:Hun 魂 and Po 魄: An ancient Chinese approach to human psyche and soul\nDr. Dr. Dominique Hertzer\nVisiting Lecturer\, Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n  \nJuly 13\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Campus: KWZ 0.701 Conference Room (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen) \nOn Zoom: For online participation\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nIs there only one soul? What is the relation between body and mind or is there only a body? We will explore the meaning and function of the Chinese concept of the human soul\, as it is represented in the dynamic relation between spirit (shen 神)\, hun 魂 (etheral soul) and po 魄 (body soul). We will look into the ideas underlying  the differentiation  of these three aspects and see what are the consequences for the relationship of body and mind.  Finally\, we will discuss which impact this may have for our own understanding of the human psyche. \n  \nThis lecture announcement is beyond our currently running lecture series. \n\n.\n\n\nOrganizers:\n\n\n.\n\n\n\n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n\n.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Arab-Chinese Entanglement in the Age of Global Empires
DESCRIPTION:Arab-Chinese Entanglement in the Age of Global Empires\nShuang Wen\nClinical Assistant Professor of History\, New York University Shanghai\n  \nJuly 18\, 2022\, 01:00 PM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Campus: ZHG 104 (University of Göttingen\, Zentrales Hörsaalgebäude\, Platz der Göttinger 7\, 37073 Göttingen) \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nThis talk narrates four little-known stories of Arab-Chinese entanglement in the age of trans-imperial collaboration and competition in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although much attention is paid to China’s relationships with the Middle East today\, I argue that this relationship did not emerge out of nowhere. Chinese and Arab lands were not entirely separate worlds until recently. Rather they have been entangled in complex ways well before the turn of the twenty-first century. The discovery of these episodes of largely invisible interactions resulted from my original juxtaposition of primary sources in Arabic and Chinese from multi-sited research in China\, Egypt\, Syria\, Taiwan\, the United Kingdom\, and the United States. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series Conceptions of World Order and Their Social Carrier Groups. \n  \nSpeaker: \nShuang Wen is a historian of modern China and the Arab world. Prior to joining NYU Shanghai\, Professor Wen held fellowships at the National University of Singapore and New York University Abu Dhabi. As a native Mandarin speaker\, she received intensive Arabic-language trainings. Before switching her career to academia\, Shuang was a broadcast journalist for Phoenix Satellite Television InfoNews Channel in Hong Kong\, covering major breaking news events from the Middle East\, and English-Mandarin-Cantonese simultaneous interpreter for live news coverage. Her latest publication is “A Short History of Modern Arab Knowledge Production on China\,” in Islam\, Revival\, and Reform: Redefining Tradition for the Twenty-First Century\, edited by Natana J. DeLong-Bas\, University of Syracuse Press\, 2022\, chapter 9. \n\n.\n\nOrganizers:\n\n\n\n\n.\n\n\n\nWorldmaking from a global perspective: A Dialogue with China\n\n.\n\n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen
