SUMMARY:Lecture: Old society\, New Belief: Religious transformation of Rome and China (1st – 6th c. CE)
DESCRIPTION:Lecture\nMu-chou Poo (Chinese University of Hong Kong):\nOld society\, New Belief: Religious transformation of Rome and China (1st – 6th c. CE)\n\n25. Okt.\, 18:00 – 20:00\, ZHG 004\n \n\n\n\nAbstract:\nRecently scholars in the study of antiquity around the world began to notice a trend of increasing interest in doing comparative studies. How should comparative study\, particularly of the ancient world\, be conducted\, what are the benefits\, what are the issues\, are still problems that draw debates among scholars. This talk intends to use the example of a comparative project to address some of the issues in the comparative study of antiquity. This is a project comparing early Christianity in Rome and early Buddhism in China. Although a conference volume has been published\, the issues are far from being resolved. Further investigation of this subject is needed. \nShort bio:\nProf. Poo Mu-chou received a B.A. in History from National Taiwan University in 1975 and Ph.D. in Ph.D. in Near Eastern Studies from The Johns Hopkins University in 1984. He is a Professor of History and director of the Centre for the Comparative Study of Antiquity at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research interests include society and religion in ancient Egypt and China. His major publications include Burial and the Idea of Life and Death: Essay on Ancient Chinese Religion\, Wine and Wine Offering in the Religion of Ancient Egypt\, In Search of Personal Welfare: A View of Ancient Chinese Religion\, Enemies of Civilization: Attitudes toward Foreigners in Ancient Mesopotamia\, Egypt and China and Daily Life in Ancient China. \n\n\n  \n  \nImage: JasonChamberlain\,釋迦牟尼佛 – Shakyamuni Buddha\, CC BY-SA 2.0.\, https://flic.kr/p/7CnDX8

SUMMARY:North-East Asian peripheries in focus: industrialization\, architecture and city planning in Inner Mongolia
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nNorth-East Asian peripheries in focus: industrialization\, architecture and city planning in Inner Mongolia\nDr. Christine Moll-Murata (Ruhr-Universität Bochum)\n03.12.2018\, 12:00 bis 14:00 Uhr\nVeranstaltungsort: VG 3.107 \nVeranstalter: Ostasiatisches Seminar\, Co-Host: Akademisches Konfuzius-Institut Göttingen \nAbstract: \nInner Mongolia belongs to the Northeast Asian Frontier Region as defined by Owen Lattimore. Since the beginning of the twentieth century\, this macro-region has been subjected to various political impacts\, Chinese\, Japanese\, and Russian. A recent research initiative based at Bochum and Duisburg sets out to consider especially the transnational and cross-border perspectives that connect this large area\, although it is divided by national frontiers. This talk presents an outlook on Inner Mongolia as a region which so far has not been recognized as one of the centers of industrialization on a global scale. Yet its mineral resources in coal and rare earths are very rich; the Baotou Iron and Steel group is one of the largest steel producers nationwide\, and in agribusiness the Inner Mongolian dairy companies rank topmost in China. How did this come about? Inner Mongolia seems to be a typical latecomer in industrialization with a short colonial history – or a very long one\, depending on the conception of colonialism. This presentation will focus on the period during the first half of the twentieth century\, when industrialization made several starts that were triggered by the competition among all the powers in the field. Its focus will be on the prerequisites of industrial development – infrastructure and communication. \nShort bio: \nChristine Moll-Murata is chair professor at the Department for History of China\, Ruhr University Bochum\, Germany\, and honorary fellow of the International Institute of Social History\, Amsterdam. Her research focuses on labor history of China\, Taiwan\, and Japan\, the history of crafts and guilds in China\, perceptions of the future in East Asia since 1900 and the industrialization of Northeast Asia. Her recent book\, States and Crafts in the Qing Dynasty\, was published with Amsterdam University Press in 2018. \n  \nPicture: Tim Zachernuk\, Mongolian tent\, CC BY-SA 2.0.\, https://flic.kr/p/6EJWG9

SUMMARY:Beyond National History: Some New Trends in Chinese History Writing
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nBeyond National History: Some New Trends in Chinese History Writing\n  \nProf. Zhang Xupeng (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences)\n05.12.2018\, 18:00 – 20:00\nVenue: KWZ 0.610\nOrganizer: Ostasiatisches Seminar\, Co-Host: Akademisches Konfuzius-Institut Göttingen\n \nAbstract:\nIn recent years\, many Chinese scholars have rethought the paradigm of national history. Consequently\, research on borders and border-crossing history has become increasingly popular. In this context\, some scholars argue that the formation of the Chinese nation is not a historically given process but rather the result of interactions between various internal and external factors. With this new\, more complex understanding of the Chinese nation\, these historians reflect upon the nature of national history\, which can be an effective way to transcend it. \nShort bio:\nZhang Xupeng is Professor at the World History Institute\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\, Beijing. He is the author of The Theory of Cultural Studies (2014) and co-author of The Philosophy and Theory of Contemporary Western History (2019\, forthcoming). His primary research and teaching fields are intellectual history\, global history and modern Western historical theory. \n  \n  \nImage:AMD5150\, Anyone Know Chinese?\, CC BY-SA 2.0.\,https://flic.kr/p/8sfe5H

SUMMARY:Lecture: An Intercultural Communication Circuit of Books Between China and Europe in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
DESCRIPTION:Nicolas Standaert (University of Leuven (Belgium):\n„AN INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT OF BOOKS BETWEEN CHINA AND EUROPE IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF IN-BETWEEN TEXTUAL COMMUNITIES“d \n18.01.2019\, 12:00 bis 14:00 Uhr \nVeranstaltungsort: KWZ 0.606 \nVeranstalter: Ostasiatisches Seminar\, Co-Host: Akademisches Konfuzius-Institut Göttingen \nAbstract: \nA unique characteristic of the cultural contacts between China and Europe is the intercultural circuit of books: European books travelling to China and in return Chinese books travelling to Europe. A special feature was that a large number of intercultural books were translated and published into Chinese and others into European languages. What shape did this communication circuit take? What are the characteristics of the intercultural books produced through this interaction? What kind of community took shape in the ‘in between’ of two cultures through this circuit of books? \nThis presentation introduces a collective research project on this topic. By analyzing a unique collection of intercultural books\, the project investigates their production\, distribution and consumption in search of their role in the identity formation of in-between textual communities in China in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This study will provide insight into the emergence of intercultural book worlds. \nShort bio: \nNicolas Standaert is professor of Sinology at the University of Leuven (Belgium). His major research interest is the cultural contacts between China and Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In this field he has led multiple research projects on rituality\, visual culture\, materiality and historiography and organized several international workshop on these topics. His recent publications include: The Intercultural Weaving of Historical Texts: Chinese and European Stories about Emperor Ku and His Concubines\, Leiden: Brill\, 2016; Chinese Voices in the Rites Controversy: Travelling Books\, Community Networks\, Intercultural Arguments\, (Bibliotheca Instituti Historici S.I. 75)\, Rome: Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu\, 2012; The Interweaving of Rituals: Funerals in the Cultural Exchange between China and Europe\, Seattle: University of Washington Press\, 2008.

SUMMARY:Arbeitskämpfe und die Verfolgung studentischer AktivistInnen in China
DESCRIPTION:Arbeitskämpfe und die Verfolgung\nstudentischer AktivistInnen in China\n\n\n\nZeit & Ort:\nDienstag\, 22. Januar 2019\, 18:00-20:00\n\nOEC 0.211\, Oeconomicum\, Platz der Göttinger 7 \nMit: Michael Ma (SACOM\, Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour\, Hongkong)\, Peter Birke und Daniel Fuchs (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen).\nModeration: Katja Pessl (CeMEAS) \n\n\nDie Zahl der Streiks und Proteste in Chinas Weltmarktfabriken ist im vergangenen Jahrzehnt rasant angestiegen. Alleine zwischen 2015 und 2017 ereigneten sich mehr als 6.500 Arbeitskämpfe. Zugleich haben sich mit der Machtübernahme von Xi Jinping im Jahr 2012 auch die staatlichen Repressionsmaßnahmen verschärft. Jüngst sorgte der Fall des Arbeitskampfes bei Jasic Technology Co. Ltd. in Shenzhen\, Südchina\, für internationale Aufmerksamkeit. Die von Beschäftigten im Mai 2018 gegründete Gewerkschaftsvertretung wurde – entgegen der geltenden Gesetzeslage – für illegal erklärt\, ArbeiterInnen wurden entlassen und verhaftet. Dies führte zu einer breiten Solidaritätskampagne\, mehrheitlich getragen von marxistischen Studierenden und UniversitätsabsolventInnen aus ganz China\, die unter anderem auch nach Südchina reisten\, um vor Ort Demonstrationen zu organisieren. Damit gerieten sie zur Zielscheibe staatlicher Verfolgung. Zwischen Juli und September 2018 erfolgten zahlreiche\, landesweit koordinierte Razzien\, mehrere Dutzend studentische AktivistInnen wurden verhaftet. Ebenfalls an der Repression beteiligt waren und sind die Universitätsleitungen mehrerer renommierter Hochschulen\, auch direkt auf dem Campus der Peking Universität wurden UnterstützerInnen des Arbeitskampfes verschleppt. Bis dato befinden sich vier ArbeiterInnen der Firma Jasic sowie ein NGO-Mitarbeiter in Untersuchungshaft. Mindestens zehn weitere studentische AktivistInnen werden weiterhin in Polizeigewahrsam gehalten oder stehen unter Hausarrest.\n\n  \nVeranstalter: Lehrstuhl für Soziologie mit den Schwerpunkten Arbeit\, Unternehmen und Wirtschaft\, Universität Göttingen\, Centre for Modern East Asian Studies (CeMEAS) \n\n\nPicture: Jasic Workers Solidarity Group.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Acquisition of Chinese Characters by Second Language Learners: The Effects of Character Properties and Individual Differences
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: \nAcquisition of Chinese Characters by Second Language Learners: The Effects of Character Properties and Individual Differences\nLi-Jen Kuo (Texas A&M University\, USA)\nTime: Wednesday\, 17. 04.2019\, 18:00 – 20:00\nVenue: VG 3.106\, University of Göttingen \n  \nAbstract: \nRecent years have witnessed a dramatic growth of Chinese learners worldwide and a need for cross-linguistic research on Chinese literacy development. Drawing upon theories of visual complexity effect (Su and Samuels\, 2010) and dual-coding processing (Sadoski and Paivio\, 2013)\, Dr. Li-Jen Kuo will present a study that investigated (a) the effects of character properties (i.e.\, visual complexity and radical presence) on character acquisition and (b) the relationship between individual learner differences in radical awareness and character acquisition. Participants included adolescent English-speaking beginning learners of Chinese in the U.S. Following Kuo et al. (2014)\, a novel character acquisition task was used to investigate the process of acquiring the meaning of new characters. Theoretical and pedagogical implications of the findings will be discussed. \nShort bio: \nDr. Li-Jen Kuo is Associate Professor of Literacy Education and Second Language Acquisition in the College of Education and Human Development at Texas A&M University\, USA. Dr. Kuo also serves as the Director of Texas A&M’s Chinese and Korean Language and Culture Program\, a service program funded by US federal grants.\nDr. Kuo received her M.A. in Language\, Learning and Policy from Stanford University and her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology with an emphasis on Cognitive Science of Teaching and Learning from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow of the US National Academy of Education.\nDr. Kuo’s research focuses on the interface among literacy\, cognition and learning. She has directed several national and international research projects that investigate how different aspects of literacy development\, ranging from the emergence of phonological awareness to the acquisition of argumentative discourse\, vary across learners of diverse first and second language backgrounds. Her research participants included Chinese-\, Korean-\, Japanese- and Spanish-speaking learners of English as well as English-speaking learners of Chinese\, Korean\, Japanese and Spanish. Dr. Kuo’s research has been funded by the US National Academy of Education/ Spencer Foundation and American Psychological Association. Utilizing both experimental and naturalistic methods\, her research aims to advance theories of biliteracy development and to inform educational practice. Dr. Kuo has been publishing her research in high impact journals and her work has been widely cited in the fields of educational psychology and applied linguistics (Google Scholar Citation: 1.780; h-index: 14; i10-index: 16). \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Does China’s BRI have smart power on Southeast Asian countries?
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nDoes China’s BRI have smart power on Southeast Asian countries?\n  \nDr. Lee Chun-Yi (University of Nottingham)\nThursday\, May 2\,2019\, 6pm (c.t.) – 8 pm\nVG 2.103\, Verfügungsgebäude\, Platz der Göttinger Sieben 7\, Göttingen \nAbstract: \nThe One Belt One Road project (OBOR\, later known as the Belt and Road Initiative\, BRI)\, initiated by Chinese President Xi Jinping\, took shape in October 2013. It is envisaged to connect vibrant East Asia and developed Europe via the Silk Road Economic Belt\, linking China with European countries through the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. Its ultimate goal is to facilitate trade and investment in Eurasia and promote economic growth. The BRI triggered great discussion within and beyond China\, with the intention of positioning China in an active role of global governance. \nThe main Asian countries on the map of China’s maritime belt include Vietnam\, Malaysia\, Philippines\, Indonesia\, Singapore and Thailand. So far there has been no systematic research focusing on the socioeconomic impact of China’s BRI particularly on the question of to what extent the BRI’s smart power\, that is the combination of hard power (economic and military) and soft power (cultural influence) on those countries. In this paper I will aim to compare and contrast Chinese investment on Vietnam and Malaysia. \nThe structure of the paper will be as following\, the first section will be the discussion of smart power\, the second section will be the empirical data of Chinese investment in selected countries of China’s BRI: Vietnam\, Malaysia and Singapore. The empirical data will be composed by qualitative interviews and also statistic data from the listed countries. The third section will be the analysis of ‘effectiveness’ of China’s smart power by interpreting those countries responses towards Chinese investment in comparison of their responses towards China’s position in South China Sea. \nKey words: Smart Power\, Maritime Silk Road\, South China Sea \n  \nBio: \nDr Lee Chun-Yi’s is an Associate Professor at school of Politics and International Relations\, she is also the director of Taiwan Studies Program at University of Nottingham. Chun-yi’s current research project is on geopolitical implications of BRI. She has served as a visiting research fellow at East Asia Institute at National University of Singapore from May to June 2018. \nDr Lee’s past research included Chinese investment in Taiwan. This project investigated bilateral cross-Strait economic activities and their impact on the two societies. It is a two and a half year project from July 2014 to December 2016. Dr Lee’s previous research project was on Chinese labour within the global economy with Prof Andreas Bieler at the School of Politics and International Relation. A three-year project that was completed in September 2014\, it investigated the influence of different foreign investors on Chinese workers and labour rights. \n  \n  \n  \nImage: "One Belt One Road" new Silk Road concept. @Shutterstock

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture Series: Transforming China’s Agriculture and Food Sector – On path to sustainability?
DESCRIPTION:China’s Green Transformation – CeMEAS Lecture Series:\nTransforming China’s Agriculture and Food Sector – On path to sustainability?\n  \nEva Sternfeld (Sino-German Agricultural Centre)\nTime: Monday\, 06.05.2019\, 4pm (c.t.) – 6 pm\nVenue: KWZ 0.603\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen\n \n  \nAbstract: \nChina needs to feed about one fifth of the world population but has only 7 percent of world’s arable land. Ensuring food security has been always a challenge and agricultural intensification has been the program for decades. Since the 1970s technological developments such as mechanization\, biotechnology and agrochemicals helped to achieve enormous increases in agricultural productivity. \nHowever\, the so called “green revolution” is reaching its limits. In recent years the sector has been in the spot light for food safety scandals and ecosystem degradation. China’s government tries tackle these problems with a series of new policies and action plans. The presentation looks at the challenges China’s agricultural and food sector is confronted with and introduces recent strategies for sustainable agriculture. \nShort CV: \nEva Sternfeld is science advisor at Sino-German agricultural Center (DCZ) in Beijing\, a joint initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People’s Republic of China (MARA).\nPrior to working with DCZ\, Eva Sternfeld was a visiting professor at the Institute for East Asian Studies at Freie Universität Berlin and head of the Center for Cultural Studies on Science and Technology in China of TU Berlin. Between 2000 and 2008 she has been working as a foreign advisor for the Center of Environmental Education and Communication of the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection in Beijing. She has widely published on issues related to urban/rural development and water management in China. Recent publications include the edition of the Routledge Handbook on Environmental Policy in China (2017). \n  \nCeMEAS Lecture Series 2019: China’s Green Transformation\nOrganizer: CeMEAS\nSponsor: Akademischen Konfuzius-Instituts Göttingen\nPartner: Alter Botanischer Garten der Universität Göttingen\n \n  \nImage: Eric\, Train journey from Guiyang to Zhenyuan 37\, CC BY-SA 2.0.\, https://flic.kr/p/bq2CNn

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture Series: Defining a Green APP: Civic Tech\, Digital Activism and Visions of Public Participation
DESCRIPTION:China’s Green Transformation – CeMEAS Lecture Series:\nDefining a Green APP: Civic Tech\, Digital Activism and Visions of Public Participation\n  \n  \n  \nLi Hongtao 李红涛 (Zhegjiang University)\nTime: Tuesday\, 14.05.2019\, 6 pm-8 pm\nVenue: VG 3.104\, University of Göttingen \nAbstract  \nWith smog now constituting part of the daily health threats for Chinese people\, many pollution tracking APPs have come into the market to meet the demand for smog related information. Taking one particular APP- “BlueSky Map”\, which is originally known as Pollution Map\, as the focal case\, this talk will explore how grassroots activists define\, legitimize and employ such APPs as useful tools\, which enable the general public to get informed\, make their voices heard\, and take necessary actions. The empirical analysis will focus on how environmental APPs empower Chinese public\, how do citizens\, NGOs\, government and polluters interact on the interface\, and what is the effect and implication of such participation for China’s environmental governance. \nShort CV \nDr. Hongtao Li (李红涛) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Journalism & Communication and a Distinguished Young Scholar at Zhejiang University.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Reading as creative and social practice: Unofficial popular entertainment literature during the Cultural Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nReading as Creative and Social Practice: Unofficial Popular Entertainment Literature during the Cultural Revolution\n  \nJunProf. Dr. Lena Henningsen (Freiburg)\nTime: Monday\, 20 May 2019\, 4-6 pm\nVenue: KWZ 1.731\, 37073 Göttingen \nAbstract: \nMost literary histories of 20th-century China describe the output of the Cultural Revolution (CR) in a few paragraphs. Officially endorsed literary texts of the decade seem flat\, dull and boring to today’s readers. The CR thus appears as a period of literary shortage. However\, a more complicated picture of literary diversity arises once we look at actual literary practices: Chinese readers at the time were craving for things to read and went to great lengths to obtain reading materials. They would steal books from libraries; read literary texts from earlier epochs that were now forbidden; illegally read and copy material designated for internal circulation; write\, read\, copy and circulate entertainment literature by hand… \nIn this talk\, JunProf. Dr. Lena Henningsen will discuss this latter type of popular unofficial hand-written (shouchaoben) entertainment fiction from the perspective of reading practices and delineate the role that readers played in their creation\, circulation\, preservation and development. After all\, extant manuscripts attest to a great variety of versions of the “same” story: when copying texts\, many readers found ways to alter\, enhance or change extant stories. Resembling fan-fiction practices in many ways\, they offered readers space to probe into their literary talents and creativity\, to ponder their experiences during the CR\, to question the ideals of Maoism\, and to test new notions of love or the self. \n  \nOrganised and hosted by: Department of East Asian Studies\nCo-hosted and financed by: Academic Confucius Institute \n  \nImage by Lena Henningsen

SUMMARY:CeMIG Lecture: Transnational Migration and Religious Conversion among North Korean Refugee-Migrants across Continents in Comparative Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:CeMIG Lecture: \nTransnational Migration and Religious Conversion among North Korean Refugee-Migrants across Continents in Comparative Perspectives\n  \n  \nJin-heon Jung\, Institute of Korean Studies in the Department of History and Cultural Studies\, Freie Universität Berlin\n22.05.2019\, 16:15-17:45\, VG 4.102 \n  \nAbstract: \nThis talk examines North Korean refugee-migrants’ religious encounters throughout their transnational migrations by way of China to South Korea\, North America\, and Europe in comparative perspectives. It investigates how some of them become voluntarily or involuntarily converted to Christianity\, and ordained as professional missionaries\, while others are indifferent\, critical to\, or disenchanted from the religion in the contexts of both national division and their host societies. Their conversion to Christianity is often depicted as a signifier of a sacred triumph over the “evil” socialist North in evangelical political discourses. Such evangelical churches and missionary networks have provided secret shelters\, broker-missionaries\, and the “Underground railways” in China and Southeast Asian countries to South Korea and other western countries. Overseas Korean ethnic churches serve for the individual refugees to resettle in the host society and the co-ethnic community. Based on more than a decade long follow-up research among North Korean refugee-migrants in different countries\, this talk aims to discuss the ways in which North Korean converted Christians develop and practice their own religiosities in the context of transnational migration and in envisioning post-division Korea. It sheds light on religion as a lens through which one can better understand how North Korean refugee-migrants negotiate senses of belonging and further claim to become “the chosen” rather than “helpless victims” in both secular and sacred terms. Moreover\, this talk analyzes the similarities and differences in practicing religiosities and the implications among North Korean communities in Germany\, England\, South Korea\, and North America respectively. \nThe talk is part of the CeMig lecture series on “Migration and Regimes of Migration Control: A Regional Comparison”. \nFor more information please visit the website: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/cemig+lecture+series+summer+term+2019/607157.html \n  \nImage: CeMig Lecture Series Summer Term 2019\, @CeMig

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:Lecture: Greening for urban wellbeing: A Sustainability Assessment of the Kökyar Protection Forest in NW China
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nGreening for urban wellbeing: A Sustainability Assessment of the Kökyar Protection Forest in NW China\n  \n  \nProf. Dr. Martin Welp (Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development)\nTime: Tuesday\, 18.06.2019\, 4 pm-6 pm\nVenue: VG 4.103\, University of Göttingen \nAbstract \nChina has made remarkable achievements in increasing forest and vegetation cover in large parts of the country. The Three-North Shelter Forest Program (also known as the great green wall) is one the famous national initiatives to hold back desertification. On the local level\, the city of Aksu\, located at the fringe of the Taklimakan desert in NW China\, started already in the 1980s preparing and planting the so called Kökyar protection forest. It is an ecological engineering project with the intent of protecting the city from frequent dust and sand storms. The forest is well-known in China\, has been awarded by the UN and is highlighted as an achievement of the so called “Kökyar-spirit”. We examined the shelterbelt from a broader perspective\, embedding Kökyar to the wider context of social and environmental problems in South Xinjiang. Results affirm the economic sustainability of the shelterbelt\, but see a mixed record for the social sphere as well as negative trade-offs when looking at the ecological dimensions — especially due high water consumption of the protection forest (a combination of poplar shelterbelts and orchards) and its impacts down-stream. There is a trade-off between artificial shelterbelt plantations for urban ecosystem services on the one hand side\, and natural riparian forests and their biodiversity on the other hand side. In such agroforestry schemes systemic interactions need to be considered and locally adapted species favored. \nShort CV \nMartin Welp holds a professorship in Socioeconomics and Communication at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (Faculty of Forest and Environment). He is head of the International Master Study Programme Global Change Management (M.Sc.). He earned his Doctoral degree at the Technische Universität Berlin in Germany and his Master’s degree in Forestry at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Before his current position he worked as senior researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK)\, Department Global Change and Social Systems. He is engaged in stakeholder dialogues in science-policy-platforms as well as in management\, researching positions and agreements among actors\, dialogue methods and the theoretical framing of such dialogues. Research projects have focused on global (environmental) change with special attention to socio-economic dimensions and human well-being.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Japan and China on the Silk Road: a Global History of Politics and Culture in Eurasia
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: \nJapan and China on the Silk Road: a Global History of Politics and Culture in Eurasia\n  \nProf. Selçuk Esenbel (Department of History\, Boğaziçi University Istanbul)\nJun 18\, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nKWZ 0.609\, University of Göttingen \nJapan on the Silk Road is a  global history  of politics and culture from the late 19th century until the end of the second world war connected to  the Great Game between competing empires of Russia\, Britain\, and China in the vast area of Eurasia across the Middle East and Central Asia. Between 1868-1945 Japanese diplomats\, military officers\, archaeologists\, and linguists traversed the land locked and maritime Silk Roads pursuing imperial interest and exploring ancient civilizations. \nA global team of scholars bring to light Japan’s intellectual and political encounters with the peoples and cultures of Asia\, in particular Turks and Persians\, Hindus and Muslims of India\, Mongolians and the Uyghur of Inner Asia\, and Muslims in China. The study exposes the entanglements of pre-war Japanese Pan-Asianism with Pan-Islamism\, Turkic nationalism and Mongolian independence as a global history of imperialism and the Japanese connections to Ottoman Turkey\, India\, Egypt\, Iran\, Afghanistan\, and China. At the same time it reveals a discrete global narrative of cosmopolitanism in  Japan’s intellectual and political encounters with the peoples and cultures of  Eurasia Asia along this  transnational geography. The Japanese experience also shows the background to the One Belt One Road  vision of China today and the revival of the “Silk Road” as a geography of competition and contestation. \nProf. Selçuk Esenbel got her BA from George Washington University\, M.S. from Georgetown University and Ph.D from Columbia University. She has been Chair of History Department\, Director of Asian Studies Center\, Turkish Director of Confucius Institute\, and University Administrative Council Member; she is President of Japanese Studies Association in Turkey since 2002. Her latest publications include: Turk-Cin Iliskilerine Turkiye’den Bakislar (Turkish-Chinese Relations: Perspectives from Turkey\, 2012)\, Japan\, Turkey\, and the World of Islam: The Writings of Selcuk Esenbel (2011)\, and Japan and the World of Islam: Transnational Nationalism and World Power\, 1868-1945 (forthcoming\, 2014). She got the High Achivement Award for Senior Scholars from Boğaziçi University in 2005\, and the Special Prize for Japanese Studies from Japan Foundation in 2007. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Transnational ageing and care technologies: Mainland Chinese grandparenting migrants
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nTransnational ageing and care technologies: Mainland Chinese grandparenting migrants\nOrganizer: Max Planck Research Group \nLecturer: Dr. Elaine Ho (National University of Singapore)\nTime: Thursday\, 11. JULY 2019 | 14:15 – 16:00 |\nPlace: Hermann-Föge-Weg 12 (villa)\, Göttingen\n \nAbstract: \nTransnational ageing is an understudied topic compared to the attention that has been given to other aspects of transnational familyhood. This presentation focuses on grandparenting migrants from the People’s Republic of China who move temporarily to Singapore or Sydney to care for grandchildren and/or to receive care. Rather than “ageing in place”\, they are charting transnational journeys of ageing by recreating social networks and social spaces abroad. Using WeChat\, an ICT tool\, they maintain social ties in China while also building new social connections abroad. Our presentation introduces the concept of “care technologies”\, referring to two dimensions: first\, in the Foucauldian sense of how technologies of subjectification are evinced in and through care relations; and second\, the role that ICT tools play in mediating care relations across borders\, exhibiting governmentality effects too. The presentation also shares insights on integrating qualitative research methods with Geographic Information Science (GIS) visualisations to extend understanding of the spatial and temporal care routines of the grandparenting migrants\, as well as the “throwntogether” spaces which they share with older Singaporeans as they age abroad. \nClick here to find the flyer. \n

SUMMARY:The Yijing and the Yijing Commentarial Traditions
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nThe Yijing and the Yijing Commentarial Traditions\n\nProf. Dr. Tze-ki Hon (City University of Hong Kong)\nTime: 29. November\, 17:00 – 19:00\nVenue: KWZ 0.603\n \n  \nAbstract:\nOriginally a divination manual\, the Yijing 易經 (Book of Changes) is a composite text consisting of three distinct layers. Its first layer is comprised by the 8 trigrams and 64 hexagrams allegedly created by the mythical figure\, Fu Xi. Its second layer are the hexagram statements and line statements allegedly written by King Wen and the Duke of Zhou during the 11th century BCE. Its third layer incorporates seven pieces of writings composed from 5th to 2nd century BCE. Divided into ten segments (hence\, the name “Ten Wings”)\, the authors of these writings used the hexagrams to discuss cosmic patterns\, the relations between humanity and nature\, and the complexity of human life. By 125 BCE\, these three textual layers were combined to form what we now call the Yijing. \nDespite separate by hundreds of years\, these three layers of the Yijing were traditionally considered as mutually reinforcing in illuminating the meanings of the classic. Yet\, over the centuries\, Chinese scholars disagreed on the sequence of reading. Some read the text chronologically\, focusing on the visual images as the foundation of other parts. Others read the text historically\, focused on the writings of King Wen and the Duke of Zhou to connect the hexagrams to the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. Yet others read the text retrospectively\, focusing on the Ten Wings as the philosophical summation of the entire classic. In this talk\, Prof. Hon will compare different commentarial traditions that interpreted the Yijing for different audiences. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Chan Studies based on the Rare Material Collection at Fo Guang University
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nChan Studies based on the Rare Material Collection at Fo Guang University\n  \n  \nLectuerers: Yi-hsun Huang & Hsin-yi Lin\nTime: 03. Dez.\, 16:00 – 18:00\nVenue: VG 4.105\, Göttingen\nOrganiser: Ostasiatisches Seminar \n  \n  \nYi-hsun Huang: Chan Master Hanyue’s Concept of Chan and Teachings \nAbstract: This talk introduces Chan Master Hanyue’s 漢月 (1573–1635) attitude toward sūtra teachings in the late Ming by using a rare book\, Hanyue’s Guiding Words on the Zhizheng zhuan. Hanyue represents a mature and confident attitude towards sūtra teachings on the part of a Chan master during the late imperial period of Chinese Buddhism. \n  \nHsin-yi Lin: Meditation Illnesses \nAbstract: In the history of meditation practice\, the concept of meditation illnesses or chanbing 禪病 has been brought out by several Chinese masters in different periods. This talk traces its multiple usages and points out the shift of meaning of the phrase in history by looking into a bunch of meditation texts during the medieval China. This changing understanding of the term may reflect the preponderance of the Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment and Zongmi’s commentary in later interpretation of the concept among meditation practitioners. \n  \n  \n  \nImage: Master Hanyue from Changshu library ©.

SUMMARY:Ritual and Pluralism: Religious Variations on Socialist Death Rituals in Urban China
DESCRIPTION:Religious Diversity Colloquium:\n“Ritual and Pluralism: Religious Variations on Socialist Death Rituals in Urban China\nLecturer: Huwy-min Lucia Liu (George Mason University) \nTime: December 9\, 2019\, 10:30-12:00 \nVenue: MPI-MMG Conference Room\, Hermann-Föge-Weg 12\, Göttingen  \n  \nThe default funeral in Shanghai today consists of religious variations of a secular socialist civil ritual. Within this ritual\, however\, is a clear paradox: how can one create religious “variations” of a secular and socialist funeral that explicitly denies any recognition of spirits or the afterlife? How do socialist\, religious\, Confucian\, and even Christian ideas of personhood and death become commensurable in one single ritual?\nThis talk explores the relationships between incommensurable values through commemorations of the dead in Shanghai.\nDr. Liu not only shows how a single ritual can realize multiple seemingly incommensurable values but also details two different techniques for making such incommensurable values commensurable. Her findings show that what makes value pluralism possible depends on how people conceptualize rituals. When people see rituals as following social conventions\, there is more space for pluralism\, but when people treat rituals as making personal testimonies\, the possibility for pluralism decreases. Huwy-min Lucia Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at George Mason University in the United States since 2019. Before joining Mason\, she was an Assistant Professor in the Division of Humanities at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Dr. Liu\nreceived her PhD from the Anthropology Department at Boston University in 2015. Dr. Liu is a cultural anthropologist whose research interests cover topics in politics\, religions\, socialism and change\, subjectivity and governance\, life and death study\, rituals\, and emotion. She is currently working on a book tentatively titled\, Governing Death\, Making Persons: The New Chinese Way of Death. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Die nationale und internationale Rechtslage Hongkongs vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Entwicklungen
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Die nationale und internationale Rechtslage Hongkongs vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Entwicklungen\nLecturer: Hans-Günther Herrmann\nTime: Dienstag\, 14. Januar 2020 von 18:00 bis 20:00\nVenue: Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum\, KWZ 1.701\n \nAbstract:\nHongkong genießt dem Basic Law zufolge einen „hohen Grad der Autonomie“. Dieses Selbstverwaltungsrecht ist aber vom Gesetz nicht abschließend definiert\, sondern wird durch die Rechtsprechung der Hongkonger Gerichte einerseits und Maßnahmen der chinesischen Zentralregierung andererseits schrittweise ausgestaltet. Diese Dynamik\, in der beide Seiten agieren und reagieren und sich selbst Beschränkungen auflegen\, setzt sich bis hin zu aktuellen Gerichtsurteilen fort. Daneben beeinflussen zwei externe Entwicklungen die Fähigkeit Hongkongs\, seine Zukunft rechtlich selbständig zu gestalten: Erstens könnte Hongkong in den Handelsstreit zwischen den USA und China hineingezogen werden\, unter anderem durch den amerikainischen „Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act“. Zweitens stellt die zunehmende wirtschaftliche Integration Hongkongs in die chinesische Wirtschaft in Frage\, inwieweit Hongkonger Rechtsnormen in Zukunft umgesetzt werden können. Angesichts der Planung für das „Greater Bay Area“ in Südchina zeichnen sich mehrere problematische Berührungspunkte ab. \nOrganiser: Ostasiatisches Seminar & CeMEAS \nPhoto: 20190818 Hong Kong anti-extradition bill protest Causeway Bay @ Hong Kong by Studio Incendo\, https://flic.kr/p/2h26REe\, Attribution 2.0 Generic  (CC BY 2.0)  \n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Historical Narrative\, Remembrance\, and the Ordering of the World: A Historical Approach of China’s Contemporary Presence in Central Asia
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Historical Narrative\, Remembrance\, and the Ordering of the World: A Historical Approach of China’s Contemporary Presence in Central Asia\n  \n  \nLecturer: Prof. Dr. Bart Dessein (Ghent University\, Belgium)\nTime: January 17\, 2020\, 17:00 – 19:00\nVenue: KWZ\, 0.607 \nAbstract:\nChina’s imperial history is characterized by the expansion and reduction of zones of Chinese cultural influence. This cultural influence also applies to Central Asia\, which was part of China’s zone of cultural influence during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). The literature portrays the Tang Emperor as the “Khan” of these regions. The territorial expansion of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty (1368-1644) and the Manchu Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) also brought parts of Central Asia into China’s polity\, albeit under different political structures. For Europe as well\, Central Asia developed into an “intermediate land\,” an area inhabited by\, among others\, descendants of Hellenistic culture brought into the region by Alexander the Great (356-323 BC). The Central Asian region was also the link between Europe and the Far East through the presence of Europeans in the Mongolian Empire. In this lecture\, the importance of the Chinese ‘One Belt One Road Initiative’ will be discussed against the backdrop of the “historical awareness” of China and Europe. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: From China to Europe: The Travel of 14th/15th Century Paintings
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: From China to Europe: The Travel of 14th/15th Century Paintings\n  \nLecturer: Dr. Kiras Perincek (Bogacizi University\, Istanbul)\nTime: January 22\, 2020\, 18:00 – 20:00\nVenue: ZHG 1.41 \nAbstract:\nThe so-called Mehmet Siyah Kalem paintings\, were produced on paper with brush and ink in a Chinese hinterland near Central Asia\, during the 14th and 15th centuries. These paintings depicted scenes from folk stories\, and they were cut and pasted into two albums in the Aqqoyunlu palace in Tabriz. They are brought by the Ottomans to Istanbul after the conquest of Tabriz at the beginning of the 16th century. \nMost of them kept now in Topkapi Palace Library in Istanbul\, they reflect the intercultural relations along the Silk Road during the Middle Ages\, in terms of both artistic and narrative elements. They consist a case of mobility where the art subject\, the artist\, the artisanship\, the artwork are all mobile during the Middle Ages along the Silk Road. Purchased by European collectors in the 1900s\, some pieces traveled also further west from Istanbul.
