SUMMARY:Confucius as a Cosmopolitan: Thought and Practice
DESCRIPTION:07. July\, 14:00-16:00 \nKWZ 0.601 \n  \nAbstract:  \nBased on the Analects and other texts related to Confucius in classical period and taken “cosmopolitanism\,” a concept with long history in the Western tradition as a counterpart for comparison\, this talk aims to probe the thought and practice of Confucius as a cosmopolitan and point out the feature and significance of the Confucian “rooted cosmopolitanism” revealed in the thought and practice of Confucius. The rooted cosmopolitanism embodied by Confucius not only has the basic characteristics of all versions of cosmopolitanism\, namely\, going beyond the territory and ethnicity\, but also keeps a dynamic balance between the one and the many\, which is usually ignored by the radical cosmopolitanism. Last\, a brief comparison between Confucian rooted cosmopolitanism and the rooted cosmopolitanism advocated by Appiah would be made. \nSpeaker: \nPENG Guoxiang 彭國翔 is Qiu Shi Distinguished Professor of Chinese philosophy\, intellectual history and religions and the director of Ma Yifu International Center for the Studies in Humanities at Zhejiang University. He was professor at Peking University and Tsinghua University and research fellow at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. He is the 2016 Kluge Chair in Countries and Cultures of the North (Library of Congress\, USA) and 2009 Awardee of the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award (Humboldt Foundation and the Ministry of Education and Research\, Germany). \nHis publications include The Unfolding of the Innate Good Knowing: Wang Ji and the Yangming Learning in Mid-Late Ming (2003\, 2005\, 2015)\, Confucian Tradition: Between Religion and Humanism (2007\, 2017)\, Confucian Tradition and Chinese Philosophy: Retrospect and Prospect in a New Century (2009)\, Confucian Tradition from Classical Period to Its Contemporary Transformation: Speculation and Interpretation(2012)\, Revision and New Discovery: Historical Study of Pre-Modern Confucianism from Northern Song till Early Qing Dynasty (2013\, 2015)\, Reconstruction of This Culture of Ours: Confucianism and Contemporary World (2013\, 2017)\, This-worldly Concern of the Wise: The Political and Social Thought of Mou Zongsan(1909-1995) (2016) and numerous articles.

SUMMARY:Hegelian Master Narratives and Periodizing Japanese and Chinese Modernity
DESCRIPTION:11. July\, 16:00 – 18:00 \nOEC. 0.168 \nAbstract: \nScholars of Asian studies have something of a love-hate relationship with Hegel; they love to cite him as the epitome of Eurocentrism\, modernization theory and the legitimation of colonialism. Despite their prevalence\, such criticisms overlook both the complexities of Hegel’s philosophy and the different ways in which Asian intellectuals attempted to turn Hegel on his head or rescue the rational kernel of his thought in a non-Western context. Viren Murthy contends that for much of the twentieth century\, especially in Japan\, but also in China\, scholars engaged Hegel by incorporating and transforming his ideas. Such incorporations enabled us to see that Hegel was not merely a theorist of modernization but one of its most incisive critics. Indeed\, it was precisely because of Hegel’s critique of capitalist modernity that conservatives such as Inoue Tetsujirō found him interesting. In this presentation\, Viren Murthy will examine three attempts to rethink Hegel\, respectively by the pan-Asianist\, Okakura Tenshin\, the Kyoto school philosopher of world-history\, Koyama Iwao and the Japanese sinologist\, Mizoguchi Yūzō. Viren Murthy argues that each of these thinkers narrates the history of Asia\, while implicitly or explicitly responding to Hegel’s idea of the Orient as not having subjectivity. Against this static vision of Asia\, these figures reconfigure the historical trajectories of Japan\, China and the world to reconfigure both universality and subjectivity beyond Eurocentrism. Towards the end of his talk\, Viren Murthy suggests that the contemporary “new leftist” intellectual Wang Hui\, continues elements of the various thinkers mentioned above. The contemporary rise of China makes such responses to Hegelian master narratives especially relevant for our contradictory present. \nSpeaker: \nViren Murthy teaches transnational Asian History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and researches Chinese\, Japanese and Indian intellectual history. He is interested in critics of modernity in Asia\, specifically\, China\, Japan and India. He places the history of nationalism and transnationalism in the larger trajectory of global capitalism and examines how pan-Asianists\, Third Worldists\, Marxists and postcolonialists theorize resistance to imperialism and capitalism and posit a world beyond the present. Central to his work is the politics of the nation-form. Pan-Asianists and Third Worldists believed that the nation-form would be able to combine anti-imperialism with a politics of socialism. He inquires into the conditions for the possibility of such theories in the early postwar period and the ask whether their categories and politics continue to be germane to our neo-liberal present. He is the author of The Political Philosophy of Zhang Taiyan: The Resistance of Consciousness (Brill\, 2011) and The Politics of Time in China and Japan\, Routledge\, 2022). He is co-editor with Prasenjit Duara and Andrew Sartori of A Companion to Global Historical Thought\, (Blackwell\, 2014)\, co-editor with Joyce Liu of East Asian Marxisms and Their Trajectories (Routledge\, 2017) and co-editor with Max Ward and Fabian Schäfer of Confronting Capital and Empire: Rethinking Kyoto School Philosophy (Brill\, 2017). He has published articles in Modern Intellectual History\, Modern China\, Frontiers of History in China and Positions: Asia Critique\, Jewish Social Studies\, Critical Historical Studies\, Journal of Labor and Society. His book\, entitled: Pan-Asianism and the Legacy of the Chinese Revolution\, is scheduled to appear in October\, 2023 with University of Chicago Press.

SUMMARY:Transnational Knowledge Transfers Between China\, Europe\, and the United States:  Actors\, Institutions\, and Dynamics\, 1924-1935
DESCRIPTION:13. July (Thursday)\, 18:15 – 19:45 \nVG 2.103 \n  \nOverview \nThe two talks of this joint session interrogate processes of knowledge transfer between China\, the United States\, and Europe during the 1920s and 1930s. Focusing on two distinct organizations– the China Foundation (based in Shanghai and New York) and the League of Nations (based in Geneva) – both talks shed new light on the transnational entanglements of the Republican period in China\, and demonstrate how foreign efforts to influence China often met with domestic resistance. \n  \nAbstract First Talk (Sally Chengji Xing): The China Foundation’s Sponsorship for Pure Science Research since 1924   \nIn the first half of the twentieth century\, leading American intellectuals frequently communicated with a cohort of prominent Chinese intellectuals previously trained in the US. Such face-to-face interchanges across the Pacific ultimately influenced Chinese choices in shaping modern scientific education and research\, and the impact was generated primarily through a unique organization established based on Sino-American intellectual collaborations\, the China Foundation. The China Foundation administered the second American remission of the Boxer Indemnity Funds to China and served as a sponsor of Chinese pure science research. Xing’s talk studies the contested debates\, conversations and dialogues that occurred in Beijing surrounding the establishment of the China Foundation in 1924. It revisits the robust debate within the China Foundation back in 1924\, by Paul Monroe and Roger Sherman Greene\, about whether to sponsor “pure” or “applied” science for the sake of China’s modernization. In so doing\, it demonstrates how and why Paul Monroe’s ideas\, though being very influential at the time\, were consequently challenged by Greene and other Chinese scientists. \nAbstract Second talk (Lucas Brang): From Geneva with Expertise: The League of Nations’ program of cooperation with Republican China (1925-1935) \nDespite being largely forgotten today\, the League of Nations’ China Program was likely the largest and most ambitious program of international cooperation and “development assistance” prior to the second half of the twentieth century. From its formal inception in 1931 to its dismantling several years later\, the cooperation between Geneva and Nanjing brought large numbers of European experts to China\, where they advised on such diverse fields as public health\, educational reform\, infrastructure-building\, administrative restructuring\, and global finance. Based on memoirs of involved actors as well as diplomatic documents from several Foreign Offices and the League of Nations Archive in Geneva\, Lucas Brang’s talk will reexamine the China Program as an early instance of “global governance” through professional expertise. Revisiting this episode of transnational cooperation demonstrates that\, despite the increasingly hostile environment\, the early 1930s constituted a highpoint of China’s international legal\, economic\, and administrative integration. At the same time\, internal documents reveal that\, rather than being a genuinely universal organization\, the League of Nations was widely perceived as an agent of “European civilization” in competition with new hegemons like the United States and Soviet Russia. Finally\, the talk shows how this global rivalry over China undermined Geneva’s claim to “neutral” expertise\, which ultimately precipitated the collapse of the program along with the interwar peace order at large. \n  \nSpeakers: \n  \nSally Chengji Xing is a visiting fellow of the Max Planck Institute of History of Science in Berlin (Lise Meitner Research Group\, “China in the Global System of Science\,” MPIWG) and the Joint Center for Advanced Studies “Worldmaking from Global Perspectives: a Dialogue with China;” she is also an incoming associate professor of US history at Nankai University. She is interested in writing US history from transnational and global perspectives. Her book manuscript in progress\, “Pacific Crossings”: The China Foundation and a Negotiated Translation of American Science to China\, 1913-1949″\, examines how and to what extent did the American intellectuals in the first half of the twentieth century influence the development of Chinese science. Her multi-archival research in China and the United States has been funded by the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR)\, the Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research\, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History\, Rockefeller Archive Center\, the Consortium for History of Science\, Technology\, and Medicine and numerous other graduate research fellowships at Columbia University in the City of New York. Her long-term research explores Sino-American intellectual history in transnational approaches\, from the early 20th century all the way to the late 1960s. \n  \nLucas Brang is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Cologne\, where he is currently completing his dissertation on the rise of the discipline of international law in early 20th-century China. From 2019 to 2022\, he was a recipient of a Marie Curie global research fellowship of the European Union\, as part of which he was affiliated with the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Lucas’ research interests include China’s constitutional development and visions of international order from historical and comparative perspectives. In his work\, he employs approaches from different disciplinary traditions such as legal theory\, conceptual history\, and the sociology of knowledge. His research has appeared in journals like Global Constitutionalism\, Modern China\, and the International Journal of Constitutional Law.

SUMMARY:Education and democracy in modern China
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nInstitutional change in education and the cultivation of a qualified citizenry were two sides of the same coin of developing democratic education in modern China. At stake is to understand how democratic education filled a critical role in bridging the gap between democratic ideals and political realities. This lecture will focus on teachings of citizenship and democracy in Chinese primary and secondary schools between 1923-1936 for the purpose of strengthening embryonic democratic politics by creating qualified citizens\, and seek to shed some light on the complex intertwinement of educational and political reforms in modern China. \nSpeaker:\nYing Zhou is an assistant professor at the Institute of Education\, Xiamen University\, China. She obtained her PhD at the University of Groningen (NL)\, trained in both Educational Studies and Sinology. Her PhD dissertation is entitled Education and Politics in China: Civic Education in Times of Reform\, 1901-1937\, and her current research project is concerned with pragmatism and progressive education in China and Japan.

SUMMARY:Examples of research methods in the history of German Sinology / 德国汉学史研究方法举隅
DESCRIPTION:17. 07\, 16:00 – 18:00 \nKWZ 0.608 \n\n\nAbstract:\n德国汉学从一开始就不局限于某一领域，今天对它的历史梳理，也必然是在历史学、语文学、人类学、自然科学等其他学科的理论和方法的参与下进行，这同时也体现了德国汉学史研究的活力和多样性。李雪涛教授以德国汉学史为例，指出近年来汉学史研究的范式，已经从之前的”内部论”（internalist）或”谱系式”（genealogical）的历史思考方式，转变为了将汉学研究的现象、事件与进程置于”全球脉络”中予以分析，从而形成了一种真正的跨文化全球史研究。\n\nSpeaker:\nProf. Li is an expert among other topics on the history of Western China Studies and will address recent central questions of the development of China Studies in the West applying a global history perspective.\n\nThe lecture will be held in Chinese.

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #23 Russia’s Ties with China: Helping or Hindering the Yuan in Becoming an International Currency?
DESCRIPTION:Registration required \n\n\nTopic\nThe “friendship without limits” between China and Russia\, which the heads of state of the two countries still affirmed on the occasion of the Winter Olympics in China at the beginning of February 2022\, has not lost its significance in the past year since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war\, even if China has held back from its otherwise pro-Russia position. However\, this “friendship” received a new boost with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Russia in March 2023: Vladimir Putin\, the Russian president\, announced that in the future\, all oil and gas transactions between Russia and China would be denominated in the Chinese yuan. Will this development help or hinder the Chinese yuan’s path to becoming an international currency? What are the economic and financial challenges behind this yuan peg in oil and gas transactions between the two countries\, especially for China? What is the geopolitical significance of this deepened partnership for China\, Russia\, and also for the West? \nProgram\nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #23 will be held in English. \n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n \n\n\n\n© Kiel Institute / Studio 23 \n\n\n\nRolf Langhammer  \nProf. Dr. Rolf J.

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #25 Diversifizierung: Kann Indien eine Alternative zu China sein?
DESCRIPTION:Thema\nEine alternde Bevölkerung\, strukturell schwächeres Wachstum in China und der generelle De-Risking-Tonus lenken alle Augen auf Indien: Während Chinas arbeitsfähige Bevölkerung schrumpft\, wird die Indiens wachsen. Investoren sehen in der relativen wirtschaftlichen Autonomie des Landes die Möglichkeit\, sich gegen die Auswirkungen einer drohenden\, globalen Rezession der international vernetzten Wirtschaft besser zu sichern. Für deutsche Unternehmen kann das Land einen Markt bieten\, wo China zunehmend selbst produziert. Selbst erklärtes Ziel der indischen Regierung ist es\, bis 2047 das Stadium eines entwickelten Landes zu erreichen. Reformen wie eine einheitliche Mehrwertsteuer und ein einheitlicher Binnenmarkt sind Schritte in die richtige Richtung. Trotzdem bleiben strukturelle Probleme wie Armut\, geringe Industrialisierung\, protektionistische Maßnahmen\, und Korruption bestehen. Das Land unter Narendra Modi sieht außerdem einen Wandel hin zu Hindu-Nationalismus\, der in Teilen des Landes zu ethnischen Unruhen führt. Als „größte Demokratie Asiens“ wird Indien als Partner des Westens umworben\, während es sich gleichzeitig in den BRICS an die Seite von China und Russland stellt. Bietet gerade dieser Versuch\, zwischen den Blocks zu stehen\, attraktives Diversifizierungspotential? Oder werden die internen Probleme weiter dazu führen\, dass Indien der „ewige Zukunftsmarkt“ bleibt? \nIn GCC#25 diskutieren wir Indiens wirtschaftliche Zukunft und sein Potential als Diversifikationsziel für deutsche Unternehmen. \n \n\n\n\nProgramm\nDie Veranstaltung besteht aus Impulsvorträgen der Sprecher gefolgt von einer Diskussion. \nDie Global China Conversation #25 wird auf Deutsch abgehalten. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nSprecher\n  \n\n\n\nMoritz Schularick  \n\n\n\n\nMoritz Schularick ist seit Juni 2023 Präsident des Kiel Instituts für Weltwirtschaft und Professor für Volkswirtschaftslehre an der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel.

SUMMARY:How the Wild Changed Me. A Philosophical Journey:  Readings and Discussions with Lung Ying-Tai
DESCRIPTION:26 October (Thursday)\, 19:15 – 20:45 \nZHG 002 \n  \nAbstract: \nSnail sex\, demanding deities\, a cold case – everyday life in Taiwan holds the most unbelievable stories in store. Lung Ying-Tai compiled them in her novel  “Under Kavulungan.” In conversation with Dominic Sachsenmaier and Monika Li\, Taiwan’s most famous author explores the complex answers to this question. Philosophical young adult novel\, nature writing\, nativist literature\, an escapist zeitgeist portrait\, thriller or love story – “Under Kavulungan” offers many ways of reading. On which themes did Lung Ying-Tai’s focus during the writing? Why did she choose southern Taiwan as the stage of her novel? \n  \nBios:  \nProf. Lung Ying-Tai (author) is one of Taiwan’s most renowned essayist and cultural critics\, whose writing significantly contributed to Taiwan’s democratization. She taught at the University of Hong Kong and Heidelberg University and served as Taiwan’s first minister of culture from 2012 till 2014.

SUMMARY:“Contemporary Theater Art” Seminar Series No. 20: The Force of Mortality and Urban Villages Futurism of Butterfly Island 蝴蝶岛死亡力与城中村未来主义
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sun Xiaoxing\nVenue: Zoom 686 4710 3798\nTime: Nov. 16th\, 2023. 13: 00 CET / 20: 00 Beijing Time\nLanguage: Chinese with English translation \nAbstract:\nThe dramaturgy Sun Xiaoxing will base his analysis of the tragic nature and multiple futures presented in “Butterfly Island” on his article “The Force of Mortality and Urban Villages Futurism of The Butterfly Island”. He will dissect the metaphor of the ephemerality of the butterfly’s brief life and youth\, as well as the coexisting splendor and despair of the young lives on the island\, and their circumstance of being both detached from and connected to the world. Moreover\, by analyzing the significance implied in the “relocation” from the premiere in Hong Kong to the performance in urban villages in Shenzhen\, he will explore the shift from a Sinofuturism tinged with Techno-Orientalism or Techno-Nationalism to a pluralistic Urban Villages Futurism. \n戏剧构作者孙晓星将以他的文章《蝴蝶岛死亡力与城中村未来主义》为基础，解析《蝴蝶岛》所呈现的悲剧性和对未来的多重想象，蝴蝶短暂的一生与青春易逝的隐喻，以及岛上年轻生命绚烂与绝望并存的状态，和这种与世界既脱节又联系的处境。此外，通过分析由香港首演至深圳城中村“迁移”所蕴含的意义，探讨从一个带有技术东方主义或技术民族主义色彩的中华未来主义，向复数未来的城中村未来主义的转变。 \nShort Bio:\nSun Xiaoxing\, with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from the Central Academy of Drama and a Ph.D. candidate at Shanghai Theatre Academy\, is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Drama\, Film and Television at Tianjin Conservatory of Music. As a playwright\, director\, and artist\, he has developed a series of works under the concept of “Cyber Theatre”\, and was invited to Festival/Tokyo\, Kyoto Experiment\, OzAsia Festival in Adelaide\, New Art Fest in Lisbon\, CPH Stage\, Low Fat Art Fes in Bangkok\, Hong Kong Arts Festival\, Shanghai Biennale\, Wuzhen Theatre Festival\, Beijing Fringe Festival\, Aranya Theatre Festival etc. As a dramaturgy\, he has collaborated with New Youth Group\, Ergao Dance Production Group etc. As a curator\, he curated Sphinx Metaverse Theatre Festival “4399. Paradise: To the Dying Web 2.0 Era”\, and Contemporary Theatre Biennale 2018 Performance Unit “Sceno Place” Public Space Performance Series “Glitch and Error” etc. \n孙晓星，中央戏剧学院学士、硕士，上海戏剧学院博士研究生，现为天津音乐学院戏剧影视系副教授。作为编剧、导演和艺术家，他以“赛博剧场”的概念开发了一系列作品，曾受邀参加东京国际剧场艺术节、京都国际舞台艺术祭、阿德莱德澳亚艺术节、里斯本新艺术节、曼谷低脂艺术节、香港艺术节、上海双年展、乌镇戏剧节、北京国际青年戏剧节、阿那亚戏剧节等；作为戏剧构作，他曾与新青年剧团、二高表演等合作；作为策展人，他曾策划斯芬克斯元宇宙戏剧节“4399.乐园——致即将逝去的Web2.0时代”、2018当代戏剧双年展/深圳福田展演单元“情场”公共空间表演系列《乱码过失》等。 \nOrganizers:\nYing Ming Theater\nAkademisches Konfuzius-Institut Göttingen\nOstasiatisches Seminar\nCeMEAS\nVerein chinesischer Studenten und Wissenschaftler in Göttingen

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #26 The Chinese Anti-espionage Law: What Risks for Companies and the Scientific Community?
DESCRIPTION:Topic\nSecurity concerns have become a priority issue for many countries around the world. In China\, this has manifested itself in a “holistic view of national security”—a phrase now directly invoked in the new Anti-Espionage Law that encompasses a broad understanding of national security and emphasizes vigilance against security risks in all areas. The Anti-Espionage Law was recently enacted in the wake of several high-profile cases\, including a dawn raid at the Shanghai office of a renowned US management consulting firm. To what extent does this affect economic cooperation with China? Does the Law’s expanded scope of “espionage activities” jeopardize the normal operation of foreign companies and scientific exchanges? And how is academic research affected? Is it still possible to share data in cooperation projects and collect business information in China? At GCC #26\, we will discuss these and other questions with our distinguished experts. \nProgram\nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #26 will be held in English. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIsabelle Feng  \nIsabelle Feng\, a scientific associate at the Perelman Centre for the Philosophy of Law at the Université Libre de Bruxelles\, is also a collaborator with the Paris-based thinktank Asia Centre and a member of the expert team of the China Horizons project funded by the European Research Executive Agency.

SUMMARY:Robert Kramm:  Staging Radical Utopian Communities in the Early 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Announcement:\nDue to medical reasons\, the lecture has to be canceled. We will reschedule it for early next year.\n  \n  \nAbstract: \nAt the turn of the twentieth century\, radical utopian communities were built all around the world. They served as retreats\, but they simultaneously constituted hubs for activists\, reformers\, and revolutionaries to meet\, share\, and develop new ideas and practices of community and human existence. The project Radical Utopian Communities deliberately builds on different and seemingly unrelated case studies of communal experiments\, encompassing the Tolstoy Farm in South Africa\, the Nōson Seinen Sha’s anarchist commune in imperial Japan\, and the Rastafarian Pinnacle Commune on Jamaica. In this talk\, the main focus is on these communities’ intellectual work\, and their staging as a struggle of modernity in the first half of the twentieth century. \n  \nSpeaker:\nRobert Kramm holds a doctoral degree in history from ETH Zurich and is currently Freigeist-Fellow and principal investigator of the research group “Radical Utopian Communities” in the School of History at LMU Munich. He received an Asia-Pacific History Fellowship at the GHI West at UC Berkeley\, and was a post-doctoral fellow in the Society of Fellows in the Humanities at the University of Hong Kong and the Kulturwissenschaftliches Kolleg at the University of Konstanz. His first book\, Sanitized Sex: Regulating Prostitution\, Venereal Disease\, and Intimacy during the Occupation of Japan\, 1945-1952\, was published 2017 with University of California Press. His peer-reviewed articles appeared in the Journal of World History\, Journal of Women’s History\, Geschichte und Gesellschaft\, Modern Asian Studies and Journal of Global History.  \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dr. Dominic Sachsenmaier

SUMMARY:Lecture: Victimhood Nationalism: Global History and Memory
DESCRIPTION:Victimhood Nationalism: Global History and Memory\n\n\nKWZ 0.610\n15. April 2024\, 16:00–18:00 Uhr (c. t.)\nProf. Dr. Lim Jie-Hyun (Sogang University\, Seoul) \n\n.\n\nAbstract:\n\nMy work “victimhood nationalism” aims to illustrate competing memories of victimhood in the postwar Vergangenheitsbewältigung in the global memory space. I try to make a critical inquiry of the global memory formation with a focus on victimhood memories. The historical space in this study is not an individual nation but an intersection of the memory loci of entangled history. Assuming the national history of “victimhood nationalism” implies a tautology resulting from and contributing to the nationalist phenomenology that constructs memories upon the present idea of the nation\, I am tracing the global trajectory of victimhood nationalism through the interactions among Poland\, Germany\, Israel\, Japan and Korea.\n\nBio:\nJie-Hyun Lim holds CIPSH chair of Global Easts and is founding director of the Critical Global Studies Institute at Sogang University\, Seoul. He has published widely on nationalism and Marxism in comparison\, Polish history\, transnational history and global memory. He is principal investigator of the research projects of Mnemonic Solidarity: Colonialism\, War and Genocide in the Global Memory Space (2017-2024) and Series Editor of “Entangled Memories in the Global South” at Palgrave/Macmillan and “Global Easts” at the Central European University Press. His recent books include Victimhood Nationalism-Global History and Memory (Columbia Univ. Press\, 2024-forthcoming)\, Opfernationalismus. Erinnerung und Herrschaft in der postkolonialen Welt (Klaus Wagenbach\, 2024)\, Global Easts: Remembering\, Imagining\, Practicing (Columbia Univ. Press\, 2022). Victimhood Nationalism-A Global History (Humanist\, 2021\, Japanese translation-2022)\, and Mnemonic Solidarity-Global Interventions (Palgrave\, 2021\, co-edited with Eve Rosenhaft).\n.\n\nOrganizer: Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Lecture: „A China We Can Talk To?“
DESCRIPTION:18. April 2024\, 16:00 – 18:00\nKWZ 0.602\n\n\nTalk summary:\nFor the past decade or so\, in his Reading the China Dream project\, David Ownby has been reading and translating the work of Chinese intellectuals who publish in China and in Chinese\, not dissidents\, but not Party propagandists either. These intellectuals inhabit a world parallel to and at the mercy of the world of Xi Jinping and the Party-State where – like intellectuals elsewhere in the world – they write and publish to try to influence public opinion and perhaps the state on the issues they are allowed to discuss. This world is circumscribed and has shrunk under Xi Jinping\, but over the course of 40 years of reform and opening\, Chinese intellectual life in China underwent a transformation like that of China’s economy and society; globalization changed the way Chinese intellectuals think and write with the result that\, to a surprising degree\, Chinese and Western intellectuals now share a common vocabulary and common references. This suggests that a dialogue might be possible with many of China’s thought-leaders\, if not with Chinese authorities. \nBio:\nDavid Ownby recently retired from the History Department of the Université of Montréal and is currently a Research Associate at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle\, Germany. His most recent work focuses on intellectual life in contemporary China and he is the founder of the Reading the China Dream website. \nOrganizers:\nDepartment of East Asian Studies; Sponsored by BMBF

SUMMARY:Lecture: Sitting in a Well\, Looking at the Sky
DESCRIPTION:Sitting in a Well\, Looking at the Sky\nDaniel Mroz\, PhD \n  \n13.6.2024\nSeminar Room 4\, Institute for Sports Science \n Zuò jǐng guān tiān坐井觀天is an idiomatic saying derived from a story in the Zhuāngzǐ 莊子\, a lighthearted Chinese philosophical work that presents funny and irreverent fables\, allegories\, and parables\, which teasingly subvert any possibility of certain perception and judgement. \nIn one of these tales\, a frog who lived in a dilapidated well celebrated his dominion over his tiny home\, inviting a tortoise from the eastern ocean in for a visit. The sea tortoise was too large to fit itself into the well\, and from outside told the frog about its own vasty ocean home\, which was so hard for the little frog to imagine\, that his mind scattered in all directions in astonishment\, beside himself in his puniness (trans. Ziporyn\, 2022: 140). \nThe saying zuò jǐng guān tiān has been my guide in the writing of my forthcoming book\, Resonant Space: Religion\, Theatre\, and the Chinese Martial Arts. Each chapter is conceived of as a different well\, revealing a different patch of sky to the frog who sits below. \nIn this presentation I shall examine the views from two different wells: the link between choreographed martial movement training and religious rituals\, and the relationship between martial movement training and the development of spatial perception in the performing arts. \nZiporyn\, B. trans.

Indianapolis/Cambridge: Hackett. \nDaniel Mroz\, PhD \nDaniel Mroz teaches acting and directing for the stage in the Department of Theatre at the University of Ottawa. He has directed original theatre for festivals in Canada and the United States and has taught actors\, directors\, dancers and choreographers in North America\, Great Britain\, France\, the Netherlands\, Turkey\, and China. He also works as a dramaturg and facilitator for contemporary dancers\, most recently with Canadian choreographer and dancer Katherine Ng. Daniel’s research focusses on the use of Chinese martial arts in contemporary theatre and dance.

DESCRIPTION:June 27\, 2024\, 11-12 [CET]  \nPlace: Online via Zoom – Registration \nHow (differently) have Chinese Firms invested in and changed Africa?\nThe Chinese government officially initiated regular dialogues with African countries at the beginning of the 21st century and has since actively encouraged Chinese firms to invest in and do business with Africa. The launch of the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013 gave another\, and stronger policy boost to Chinese firms’ economic engagement in Africa. Chinese firms with business activities in Africa have\, however\, often drawn harsh criticism for their allegedly deficient working conditions and severe damage caused to the environment. Who are the Chinese multinationals doing business in Africa? Are they different from their western counterparts and in which aspect are they most differently from each other? How have such differences been further developing over time? What role can policies play here to foster sustainable development in Africa? \nProgram \nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #33 will be held in English. \n  \nLiterature \nThe impulse lectures refer to the following publications: \nAckah et al.\, (2024)\, What role for Chinese FDI in Africa?

SUMMARY:Zhang Hanwen (Artist/Filmmaker; Berlin): Defection\, Exile\, and Utopia: Pan-Asianist Bodies and Legacies
DESCRIPTION:Zhang Hanwen (Artist/Filmmaker; Berlin)\nDefection\, Exile\, and Utopia: Pan-Asianist Bodies and Legacies \nEmmy-Noether Saal\, Wilhelmsplatz\n5. July (Friday)\, 11:30-12:30 \nAbstract:\nThe artist and filmmaker Zhang Hanwen will present his recent work\, “Hostile Landscapes”\, a two-channel installation film initiated in 2022\, and related research. The project revolves around the true story of Jhu Hyeun-ken (朱贤健/주현건)\, a North Korean defector imprisoned in the Jilin Prison in Northeast China for illegal border-crossing since 2013. Jhu managed to escape from the prison on October 18th\, 2021\, with bare hands. After eluding local police and authorities for 40 days\, Jhu was ultimately shot in the leg and apprehended near the Fengman Dam and Reservoir\, a historically significant location with deep Japanese colonial ties. The presentation will explore notions related to Chinese/Asian identities\, and their connections to nationalism and colonialism\, within the framework of contemporary and modern East Asian history\, navigating the geopolitical shifts of the past and the present. \nSpeaker:\nZhang Hanwen is an artist and filmmaker originally from Changchun\, China\, who has been wandering nomadically across Germany lately. Drawing from artistic research and field studies\, his work examines specific landscapes\, infrastructures\, and mundane activities through images and texts\, weaving them within a network of local\, personal\, transnational\, historical\, and ideological contexts. His recent research revolves around marginalized individuals’ exile\, troublesome colonial heritage\, and secret society activities against the backdrop of East Asian modern/contemporary history. Zhang holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts\, New York\, and has participated in various artist-in-residencies and fellowship programs including the German Chancellor Fellowship (Bonn\, 2025)\, the Braunschweig Projects (Braunschweig\, 2023)\, the Oberhausen Seminar (Oberhausen\, 2023)\, the Fosun Foundation Art Residency (Shanghai\, 2021)\, the BRIClab Video Art Residency (New York\, 2020)\, etc. His work has been exhibited and screened at venues such as the Power Station of Art in Shanghai\, the OCAT Institute in Beijing\, BY ART MATTERS in Hangzhou\, the CACHE Space in Beijing\, as well as at film festivals including the Beijing International Short Film Festival and BBC LongShots. In 2020\, Zhang’s film “The First Line of China” was awarded the SAH Award for Film and Video. \nOrganizer:\nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Lecture: Prof. Song Chen (Bucknell University): Connecting the Dots: Advancing Chinese Historical Studies through Social Network Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Date: July 15\, 2024\nTime: 18:00\nPlace: KWZ 0.607 \nIn recent years\, an increasing number of scholars have actively explored how social network analysis (SNA) may advance the understanding of Chinese history and literature. These explorations have underscored the pressing need for methodological reflections and the most appropriate subjects for network analysis. Drawing on my research in the areas of prosopography and local religion\, this talk discusses the potentials and pitfalls in the application of SNA to historical studies. Using elite marriages in eleventh- and thirteenth-century China as an example\, the first part of this talk explores how SNA breaks new ground in prosopographical research\, directing attention from the “common background characteristics” of a historical population to the patterned relationships knitting together the members of that population. The second part of this talk addresses the tendency to conflate social networks as a subject of inquiry with social network analysis as a method of data modeling. This confusion often leads to flawed research designs at the onset of a project\, skewing data collection and hampering subsequent analyses. It also results in missed opportunities where scholars overlook potential research projects that seem unrelated to SNA but could greatly benefit from its analytical capabilities. As an illustration\, insights will be shared from my recent work that employs SNA to unveil patterns in the spatial distribution of temple cults in the Lower Yangzi during the thirteenth century. \nBiography:\nSong Chen received his Ph.D. in East Asian Languages and Civilizations from Harvard University in 2011 and is currently an Associate Professor of Chinese History in the Department of East Asian Studies at Bucknell University\, USA. His research focuses on Chinese social and cultural history between the eighth and the eighteenth century. For many years his work has focused on the migration and marriage patterns of China’s ruling elite in these centuries. Recently he is expanding the scope of his study to popular religion. He uses digital methods extensively in his teaching and scholarship. He is the inaugural project manager of the China Biographical Database project (CBDB)\, and has served on the project’s Steering and Executive Committees since 2011. His research combines prosopography\, network analysis\, and historical GIS. In 2021 and 2022\, he co-edited\, with Henrike Rudolph and Zhao Wei\, two special journal issues that feature cutting-edge digital scholarship in Chinese studies. He has given research talks and taught digital humanities workshops at Harvard\, Stanford\, Cornell\, National Taiwan University\, Peking University\, Tsinghua University (Beijing)\, Shanghai Normal University\, National University of Singapore\, among others.

SUMMARY:Vortrag: Prof. Sun Lixin: Die „Konfuziusgesellschaft“ und der kulturelle Austausch zwischen China und Deutschland
DESCRIPTION:Die „Konfuziusgesellschaft“ und der kulturelle Austausch zwischen China und Deutschland\nProf. Sun Lixin (Shandong University)\nZeit: 16.10.24\, 16-18 Uhr\nOrt: KWZ 0.610 \nVon der Masse der christlichen Missionare\, die im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert nach China kamen\, hob sich Richard Wilhelm (1873-1930)\, ein deutscher Missionar des Allgemeinen evangelisch-protestantischen Missionsvereins\, auf bemerkenswerte Weise ab. Als „intimer Schüler“ des berühmten deutschen religiösen Sozialisten Christoph Blumhardt taufte Wilhelm in China keine Chinesen. Für das chinesische Volk\, das unter der Knute des Imperialismus litt\, war Wilhelm voller Sympathie. Auch zeigte er großes Interesse an chinesischer Geschichte und Kultur. Aus einer auf Christus zentrierten religiösen Sichtweise\, nahm er eine neue Missionsmethode an\, deren Hauptinhalt darin bestand\, sich „auf das einfache Leben nach christlichen Grundsätzen zu beschränken\, durch Schule und Hospital zu wirken\, mit den Menschen zusammenzuleben und ihnen innerlich nahe zu kommen“. Durch den engen Kontakt mit allen Bereichen der chinesischen Gesellschaft und seinen persönlichen Erfahrungen mit der chinesischen Kultur lernte Wilhelm nicht nur allmählich den spirituellen Ursprung des harmonischen Lebens der Chinesen kennen\, sondern entwickelte auch eine innige Bewunderung für Konfuzius. Er gründete zusammen mit einigen ehemaligen Adligen und Ministern der Qing Dynastie 1913 in Qingdao die „Konfuziusgesellschaft“. Diese Gesellschaft war weder eine retro-orientierte Institution noch eine rein akademische Einrichtung. Die Gründung der „Konfuziusgesellschaft“ basierte auf der konkreten Praxis der missionarischen Idee von Wilhelm\, die versuchte\, durch Übersetzungen\, Vorträge und wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen Anknüpfung und Zusammenarbeit auf geistigem Gebiet zwischen Ost und West zu bewirken. Bei der Förderung des kulturellen Austauschs zwischen China und Deutschland hat die Gründung der Konfuziusgesellschaft eine äußerst wichtige Rolle gespielt. \nProf. Sun Lixin \nSun Lixin ist Professor für Weltgeschichte an der Shandong-Universität in Jinan\, China. In seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit konzentriert er sich auf die Neuere Geschichte Deutschlands und Zeitgeschichte\, mit einer Vielzahl von Publikationen u.a. zur politischen Geschichte\, Kulturgeschichte\, Geschichte der Geschichtsschreibung und den deutsch-chinesischen Beziehungen. Wichtige Veröffentlichungen sind: Das Chinabild der deutschen protestantischen Missionare des 19. Jahrhunderts – Eine Fallstudie zum Problem interkultureller Begegnung und Wahrnehmung (Marburg 2002)\, Abhandlungen über die Geschichte der deutsch-chinesischen Beziehungen in der Neuzeit (Beijing 2014)\, Studien zur Geschichtsschreibung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland: Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der historiographischen Kontroverse um die NS-Frage (mit Meng Zhongjie u. Fan Dingliang\, Beijing 2018) und Allgemeine Geschichte Deutschlands · Band II: Das Zeitalter des gespaltenen Glaubens (Nanjing 2019). \n  \nVeranstalter: \n \n  \n \nBild:青岛礼贤书院大门 (Richard Wilhelm School Tsingtau)\, Public Domain (China\, Taiwan).

SUMMARY:Dr. Austin Strange: The Political Logics of Chinese Global Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:The Political Logics of Chinese Global Infrastructure\n\n\nDate: November 11\, 2024\, 18:00-19:30 \nLocation:  ZHG 004 \n\n\nAbstract: Infrastructure is a major component of China’s presence in global development and is also central to larger debates about China’s evolving roles in the world economy and international politics. This talk will present a comprehensive account of major\, Chinese government-financed infrastructure projects across the Global South since 1949 to the present day. New historical and contemporary datasets show Chinese global infrastructure’s distinctiveness in terms of its historical tenacity and massive contemporary scope. The data include hundreds of 20th-century overseas infrastructure projects that predate contemporary China’s infrastructure spree during the Going Out strategy and the Belt and Road Initiative. These projects and their underlying political logics suggest that global infrastructure will remain a crucial component of China’s role in international development even as the BRI evolves toward smaller\, more sustainable\, and digital infrastructure forms. The talk will also feature new findings from analyses of observational and experimental data on how overseas infrastructure projects relate to China’s international influence.\n\n\n\n\nBio: Austin Strange is an Associate Professor of International Relations in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Hong Kong. He teaches and researches international relations\, international development\, and Chinese foreign policy. He is the author of Chinese Global Infrastructure (Cambridge University Press\, 2023) and co-author of Banking on Beijing: The Aims and Impacts of China’s Overseas Development Program (Cambridge University Press\, 2022). Austin’s research has appeared or is forthcoming in American Economic Journal: Economic Policy\, Journal of Politics\, International Studies Quarterly\, and Journal of Conflict Resolution\, among others. In 2022 Austin was awarded the University of Hong Kong’s Early Career Teaching Award. From 2023-2025 he is a fellow in the National Committee on United States-China Relations Public Intellectuals Program\, and previously he was a fellow at the Wilson Center and the Columbia-Harvard China and the World Program. Austin earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University\, an M.A. from Zhejiang University\, and a B.A. from College of William and Mary.

Scholars have largely focused on translations of Stanislavski into Chinese as the starting point for Stanislavski in China\, crediting director and actor Zheng Junli 郑君里(1911–1969) with the first translation of Stanislavski’s An Actor’s Works in 1943. However\, Zheng Junli was not the only translator of An Actor’s Works. First introduced to Stanislavski by director and theater scholar Zhang Min at the Shanghai Amateur Dramatists Association during the 1930s\, Zheng Junli worked as an actor under Zhang Min’s directorship and co-translated An Actor’s Works with him. This paper explores Chinese modern dramatists’ early reception and experiments with Stanislavski by attending to the elements of Stanislavski’s theories that received the most attention in practice. It demonstrates that Stanislavski’s system was a familiar system within acting and film circles prior to its translation and how the practice and circulation of Stanislavski within the elite circles of modern dramatist practitioners laid the ground for its widespread acceptance in the 1950s in the domains of both theater and cinema prior to being banned in the 1960s. This paper concludes with considerations of the effects of those experiments on actors and actresses who acted in those productions and who participated in the banning of Stanislavski in the 1960s. \nBio:Mei Li Inouye is an assistant professor of Chinese at Centre College with a Ph.D. in Chinese Literature from Stanford University. Her research interests include transnational exchange\, gender politics\, performance and remix studies in modern Chinese literature\, theater\, and visual culture. Her book project\, “Performing Jiang Qing (1914-1991): Gender\, Performance\, and Power in Modern China\,” examines the most powerful\, visible\, and reviled woman in the history of modern China as a cultural remix and durational performance that can help us understand the interplay of gender\, performance\, media\, and power in the worlds she inhabited and the scholarship that has tried to understand those worlds. Her scholarship has been supported by a CLIR-Mellon Fellowship\, the Stanford Humanities Center\, and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. Her article\, “Marketing Jiang Qing: Revolutionary\, Modern Girl\, and Dangerous Woman in Left-wing Cinema\,” is forthcoming in the Journal of Chinese Cinemas. Her article\, “Soviet Dramatic Theory and Dramas on Stage in 1930s Shanghai\,” can be found in the fall 2022 issue (5.2) of International Comparative Literature.  \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Writing World History in a Global Historical Context: Perspectives on Meiji Japan and Contemporary Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Writing World History in a Global Historical Context: Perspectives on Meiji Japan and Contemporary Taiwan\nProf. Mu-chou Poo (Chinese University of Hong Kong) \nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21 \n29. April (Tuesday)\, 18:00-20:00 \n  \nAbstract:  \nThis talk will address two issues: the unique situation of Japanese learning of Western history and civilization in the mid-Nineteenth Century (Meiji Period)\, and the development of World History textbook writing as a response/reaction to the political process in contemporary Taiwan. For Japan\, I will concentrate on the writing of ancient Western history\, in particular the ancient Near East\, as this period touches upon the origin of human civilization\, which was of vital importance in terms of political\, cultural\, and religious implications to Japan’s effort of nation building. For Taiwan\, the more liberal new national standard textbooks of mid-1980’s sought to debunk the old frame of textbook writing\, and to introduce new concepts in history education; the decentralized textbooks of the late-1990’s were involved in the struggle of identity politics\, and took a more conservative turn in terms of writing style and interpretation. \nSpeaker: \nMu-chou Poo (PhD in Egyptology\, Johns Hopkins 1984)\, is adjunct Professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He had worked as a Research Fellow at Academia Sinica\, Taipei\, from 1984-2009\, and Chair Professor of History at the Chinese University of Hong Kong\, 2009-2023\, and taught at various places\, including Columbia\, UCLA\, and Grinnell College.  Research interests include religion and society in ancient Egypt and China. Major publications include Burial and the Idea of Life and Death: Essay on Ancient Chinese Religion (Taipei\, 1993); Wine and Wine Offering in the Religion of Ancient Egypt (London: Kegan Paul\, 1995); In Search of Personal Welfare: A View of Ancient Chinese Religion (Albany: SUNY\, 1998); Enemies of Civilization: Attitudes toward Foreigners in Ancient Mesopotamia\, Egypt and China (Albany: SUNY\, 2005).

SUMMARY:Lecture: Journey to the East (and Back): China and “Western Esotericism” from Reception History to Global Religious Studies
DESCRIPTION:Journey to the East (and Back): China and “Western Esotericism” from Reception History to Global Religious Studies\nDavide Marino (University of Erlangen-Nürnberg)\n\n  \nDate: May 8\, 2025\nTime: 18:00 – 19:30\nPlace: KWZ 0.603  \nAbstract: \nThis presentation examines the intricate and multifaceted relationship between Chinese spiritual culture(s) and the field of “Western Esotericism.” For centuries\, the East\, and particularly China\, was regarded by Europeans as a repository of superior spiritual knowledge\, a realm of profound wisdom that seemed inaccessible to the West. This perception of the East as a mystical and enigmatic source of ancient wisdom persisted across various periods of European intellectual history\, with China holding a particularly prominent place in Western imagination. Beginning in the early modern period\, and reaching its peak during the colonial era\, Western thinkers found abundant inspiration in Chinese religions\, philosophies\, and cultural practices and these elements were integrated into the evolving spiritual and philosophical discourses of the time\, ultimately becoming essential components of the eclectic mix of ideas now known as “Western Esotericism.” China was not simply “received” or passively absorbed into Western thought; rather\, various Chinese intellectuals\, spiritual leaders\, and cultural movements became active participants in a global esoteric discourse that transcended geographical boundaries and facilitated the exchange of ideas. This dynamic of intellectual and spiritual exchange is even more pronounced in contemporary times. While in “the West\,” Chinese cultural elements such as Chinese medicine\, the Daodejing\, and the notion of qi have become widely embraced as staples of global post-confessional spirituality\, “Western Esotericism” is increasingly being discussed\, reinterpreted\, and adapted in the People’s Republic\, both in commercial contexts and within academic discourse. This growing interest reflects a reciprocal flow of ideas that continues to shape global spiritual trends. Although often overlooked by Western scholars\, Chinese perspectives on “Western Esotericism” present a challenge to traditional diffusionist models\, which tend to view the flow of ideas as a one-way process. Instead\, these Chinese perspectives reveal a more complex and circular flow of ideas\, which calls into question the conventional notion of one-way reception (whether “from East to West” or “from West to East”). China did not merely provide raw material for Western thinkers to appropriate and adapt for their own purposes; rather\, Chinese cultural and spiritual traditions actively shaped and influenced the trajectory of global discourses on esotericism. Likewise\, contemporary Chinese discourses on “Western Esotericism” are increasingly framed around both domestic issues—such as the role and necessity of regulating religion in Chinese society—and international debates on religion\, science\, and public health. Thus\, this presentation advocates for a global and interdisciplinary approach to the study of esotericism—one that recognizes the entangled and reciprocal histories of “China” and “the West\,” and acknowledges their shared responsibility in shaping the development of modern and postmodern alternative religious trajectories. \nDavide Marino\, PhD \nDavide Marino specializes in the interplay between East Asian religions\, particularly Chinese\, and European Esotericism\, with a focus on Traditionalism. His Ph.D. thesis\, which received the CUHK Young Scholars Thesis Award in 2023\, examined the influence of Chinese and Vietnamese religious concepts on the works of Albert de Pouvourville and René Guénon. More recently\, he has been investigating the intersection of politics and esotericism in both China and Europe. \nOrganizers:\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\nCentre for Modern East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nImage: Image: Gauthier Delecroix\, Spirituality   CC BY 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/MxGNDj
