SUMMARY:LECTURE: The Internationalization of China’s Uyghur Issues
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE:\nThe Internationalization of China’s Uyghur Issues\nJulie Yu-wen Chen\, University College Cork\nTuesday\,  December 17\,  2013 · 6 pm\, KWZ\,  Room 0.607 \nThis lecture explores the operation and coalition-building of Uyghur diasporic organizations in democratic countries. Since some Uyghur organizations have been lent notable legitimacy by liberal democracies and international governmental organizations\, they can no longer be considered merely splintered members of a far-flung diaspora locked in a one-sided struggle with Beijing. Uyghur activists can and do use their hard-won legitimacy as legal migrants and asylum seekers to influence politics in their host countries. \nAnd while they pose no direct security threat to the countries they presently reside in\, their use of democratic channels in their host countries serve to extend the Uyghur conflict into nations around the world. This study is a timely one\, as it shines a light on how an issue concerning a minority in China has been catapulted onto the wider global political stage. For instance\, Uyghur organizations have seized on the Obama administration’s pledge to close the Guantanamo Bay prison to boost global awareness of Uyghur issues and call on countries like Germany\, Switzerland and Australia to take in Uyghurs who they argue were “unjustly” detained at Guantanamo Bay.Whether the Uyghur lobby is capable of influencing these decisions\, which are matters that can only be decided by sovereign states\, is less important than the fact that Uyghur groups are able to successfully use the issue to raise their visibility.

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture Series on Modern China 2014
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture Series on Modern China 2014 \nThe central concern of this year’s lecture series is the reflection of China’s rise and its consequences for the world as well as China’s homeland affairs. Background is that despite the common notion of the Asian Century there are shortcomings in our understanding of the significance and character of China’s rising power from the periphery to the centre of the international system. CeMEAS invited a number of experts from various disciplines\, such as Architecture\, Politics\, Law\, History and East Asian Studies from all over the globe to talk about China’s global impact in the 21st century. \n24.04.2014      2 pm       VG 2.101       Prof. Dr. Jörn- Carsten Gottwald (Ruhr- Universität   Bochum):\nDes Kaisers neue Kleider?

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Des Kaisers neue Kleider? Chinas Führungs- Rolle in den G20
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE: Des Kaisers neue Kleider? Chinas Führungs- Rolle in den G20 \nThursday\, April 24\, 2014\n 2pm\, Room VG 2.101\n Prof. Dr. Jörn – Carsten Gottwald (Ruhr – Universität Bochum) \n  \nDer kontinuierliche Aufstieg der Volksrepublik China zu einer wirtschaftlichen und politischen „major power“ (Xi Jinping) hat zu einer breiten Debatte über eine chinesisch geprägte neue Weltordnung geführt. Mit dem Ausbruch der globalen Finanzkrise (GFK) 2007/2008 scheint sich diese tektonische Verschiebung der Weltpolitik vom Trans-Atlantik zum Pazifik zu beschleunigen. Gleichwohl stellen Beobachter des wohl wichtigsten Forums zur Reaktion auf die GFK\, den G 20\, ernüchtert ein Ausbleiben ambitionierter chinesischer Reformvorschläge fest. Woran liegt diese augenscheinliche Passivität? Verweigert sich die Volkrepublik China wirklich der Übernahme einer neuen Rolle oder lassen sich Anzeichen für eine Neuorientierung – gerade nach dem Führungswechsel in der Staats und Parteispitze – finden? \nPicture: Dowing Street; G20 London Summit\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, http://www.flickr.com/photos/downingstreet/3406897568/

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Wahnsinn oder Weisheit?
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE: Wahnsinn oder Weisheit? Eine chinesische Perspektive\nFriday\, April 25\, 2014\n2pm\, Room KWZ 0.608\nDr. phil. Dr. rer. med. Dominique Hertzer \nWas ist Vernunft? Der Wahnsinn aller. Was ist Wahnsinn? Die Vernunft des Einzelnen. Was nennt Ihr Wahrheit? Die Täuschung\, die Jahrhunderte alt geworden. Was Täuschung? Die Wahrheit\, die nur eine Minute gelebt. (Spinoza) \nÜber die Nähe von Genie\, Weisheit und Wahnsinn ist seit dem Altertum immer wieder diskutiert und philosophiert worden\, im Abendland wie in China. Jüngsten Studien zufolge soll diese Verbindung nun auch biologisch in Gestalt einer bestimmten Genvariante nachgewiesen sein. Der Weise wie der Wahnsinnige offenbaren die Grenzen der „normalen Gesellschaft“ und werden meist als bedrohliche Herausforderung für die Aufrechterhaltung des vermeintlich Normalen wahrgenommen. Zugleich birgt der Wahn jedoch wertvolles Potential\, um Neues und in den Grenzen der Normalität „Ungedachtes“ zu erfahren\, mit der Aufforderung\, eben diese Grenzen zu überschreiten. Im Zentrum des Vortrages steht die Frage\, welche Erkenntnisse und welche Potentiale den Verrückten im Chinesischen Denken zugedacht wurden\, um dem Sinn des Wahns auf die Spur zu kommen. \nPicture: Stephen Dettling\, Martin Mania SCX500; CC BY-NC 2.0\, https://www.flickr.com/photos/sdettling/2404125601/

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Developing security\, securing development?
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Developing security\, securing development? Chinese foreign policy\, norms evolution and the challenges of security in Africa\nThursday\, May 8\, 2014\n2pm\, Room VG 2.101\nDr. Daniel Large \nDeepening conflict in South Sudan is once again increasing interest in China’s role in the country\, in neighboring Sudan and\, more generally\, China’s changing engagement with conflict and security dynamics in Africa. China’s relations with fragile and conflict affected states is well recognized. Recognizing that post-conflict environments and state fragility pose a unique set of challenges to its growing economic interests on the continent\, the Chinese government has sought to respond through a process of adaptation and policy engagement. Using the case of South Sudan and Sudan to illustrate broader themes\, this seminar will examine China’s negotiation of development and security\, and why and how this has travelled from the margins to a much more central part of China’s emerging role in Africa. \nPicture: S.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Japan and the World of Islam\, a transnational history of nationalism\, modernism and empire
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Japan and the World of Islam\, a transnational history of nationalism\, modernism and empire\nWednesday\, May 21\, 2014\n6pm (s.t.)\, KWZ\, Room 3.601\nProf. Selçuk Esenbel \nThe Japanese interest in the “world of Islam” between 1868-1945 displays the history of nationalism\, modernism\, and empire from a global perspective at multiple levels. The little-known interaction between Japan and Muslim states (Ottoman Turkey\, Qajar Iran\, Egypt) as well as Muslim ethnic and national communities in Eurasia reveals international relations between Non-European states and transnational connections that was parallel to the world order dominated by the Western Great Powers. The Japanese interest extended to the study of Islam and the ethnic and national populations such as the Turkic peoples of Inner Asia and Central Asia. Japanese and Muslim intellectuals interacted through the vision of Pan-Asianism and Pan-Islamism that represents mutual imaginations about alternative modernities. The Japanese interest in Islamic affairs and the study of Muslim Asia and the Middle East coupled with the Japanese network among Muslims became part of imperial Japan’s geo-political strategy for empire building in Asia. \nPicture: Prof. Selçuk Esenbel

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Wie traditionell ist die Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin wirklich?
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Wie traditionell ist die Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin wirklich?\nFriday\, May 23\, 2014\n2pm\, KWZ\, Room 0.608\nDr. phil. Dr. rer. med. Dominique Herzter \n“Chinesische Medizin ist ein großes Schatzhaus\, das wir gründlich ans Licht holen und weiter entwickeln sollten” (Mao Zedong) \nAnders als die Bezeichnung „Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin “ (TCM) vermuten lässt\, handelt es sich hier weniger um eine Medizin\, die primär auf traditionelles medizinisches Wissen zurückgreift\, als vielmehr um eine „moderne“\, von Mao Zedong persönlich initiierte Erfindung. Dieses medizinische System „TCM“ ist stark von der Schulmedizin beeinflusst ist und hat in China nicht nur das Monopol auf die Ausübung ostasiatischer Medizin\, sondern dient inzwischen als (wirtschaftliches) Modell für die weltweit florierende Chinesische Medizin. Doch nachdem inzwischen sowohl in den westlichen Ländern wie in China selbst der Ruf nach der „eigentlichen Traditionellen Chinesischen Medizin“ laut wird\, geht der Vortrag der Frage nach\, was unter dieser traditionellen Medizin zu verstehen sein könnte und ob sie in Gestalt einer postulierten „Daoistischen Medizin“ wieder zu finden ist. \nPicture: Ross Pollack\, Chinese Medicine Man\, CC BY-NC-SA 2.0\,https://www.flickr.com/photos/rossap/8289758503/ \n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Post - Orientalist Perceptions of Tibet between China and the West: Essentialization\, Geopolitics and Topophilia
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Post – Orientalist Perceptions of Tibet between China and the West: Essentialization\, Geopolitics and Topophilia\nWednesday\, June 11\, 2014\n12pm\, VG. Room 2.101\nDr. Dan Smyer Yu \nThe appearance of Tibet is unprecedentedly frequent in global discourses of humanitarian issues\, climate changes\, environmental conservation\, peace-building\, religion-science dialogue\, social engagement of Buddhism\, creative arts\, and New Age Spiritualty in the twenty-first century. It continues to spark imaginations of all sorts globe-wise. Scholarly critiques of “the imagined Tibet” as a popular cultural trend were initiated in the 1990s to de-essentialize the idealized image of Tibet and Tibetans. Since then a body of critical literature has quickly grown\, examining the causes and the nature of such popular fixation on things Tibetan. It undoubtedly has critical impact on the public understanding of Tibet in the modern context; however\, it is also noticeable that the initially intended de-essentializing effort is evolving into a recognizable essentialization of those who have strong interest in Tibetan culture\, religion\, and environment. This paper is intended to critique how the power-representation discourse adopted from Edward Said’s Orientalism is utilized in the context of modern Tibetan studies. Through case studies of perceptions of Tibet in China and the West\, it proposes a post-Orientalist perspective from which the unique landscape of Tibet is understood as the foundation for a type of topophilia\, which antecedently triggers what scholars characterize as “imagination\,” “fantasy\,” or “hallucination.” \nPhoto: Tibet\, rickz\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://www.flickr.com/photos/rickz/9180133912/

SUMMARY:Lecture: Chinese Multinationals going Global: Strategies and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Chinese Multinationals going Global: Strategies and Challenges\nThursday\, June 12\, 2014\n4pm\, Theologicum Hörsaal T01\nProf. Dr. Klaus Meyer \nOver the past decade many Chinese enterprises have expanded their operations overseas and became substantive players in several industries and host countries.\nThis talk will explore the strategies that these Chinese companies pursue to catch up withglobal industry leaders\, focusing in particular on processes of learning about international\nbusiness operations\, and the acquisition of strategic assets overseas. It will also explore differences in these strategies between the first wave of overseas investments by state enterprises that still dominate many sectors in China\, and the second wave led by private companies in a wide range of manufacturing sectors. Despite the impressive acceleration of outward investments\, Chinese multinationals face considerable challenges managing\ntheir overseas operations\, especially acquired business units. The talk will thus conclude by outlining these operational and cross-cultural challenges\, and discuss approaches to managing them.\n \nPhoto: Mike Behnken\, I ♥ Shanghai\, CC BY-ND 2.0\, https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikebehnken/5118469004/

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: 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: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

DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture\n近代以來中國佛教的基本狀況與未來展望\n普 慧\, 國家教育部人文社會科學重點研究基地四川大學中國俗文化研究中心\nMonday\, June 6\, 2016  · 4 pm (c.t.)  ·  VG 4.104\n \n  \nBasic Situation and Future Prospects of Chinese Buddhism since the Modern Times\nPu Hui\, Centre for Chinese Folk Cultural Studies of Sichuan University\, Key Research Base of Humanities & Social Science of National Ministry of Education\n \n佛教從公元1世紀傳入中國，歷經2000年，已經完全成爲中國傳統文化的重要組成部分，在中國漢文化以及一些主要的少數民族文化中，發揮了重要的作用。人們的社會生活、精神生活都充斥著佛教內容。無論是上層的知識精英，還是下層的黎民百姓，都離不開佛教信仰的指導。 \n走向近代時的佛教，已經是老態龍鍾，步履蹣跚，一副衰氣。伴隨著近代民族革命和民主革命的興起，中國佛教也開始懲治教內腐敗，力圖復興、光大佛法，以適應社會急變之需。然而，20世紀的中國，戰亂頻仍，內憂外患，民族救亡和國家振興成爲主題。意識形態的加強，政治氛圍的濃郁，把佛教的生存空間擠壓到了瀕臨倒閉的境地。佛教的精神指南作用下滑爲民間神祇的功利主義的心理安慰。20世紀直至今天的30多年裡，佛教迅速復興，力求適應新的社會變革。 \n中國佛教的前世、今生以及未來將如何行進呢？她還能有新的活力嗎？演講者將提出自己的觀點。 \n  \nImage: By Mi..chael\, CC BY-NC 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/hF5j9v\n Design: CeMEAS \n  \n  \n

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.
