It demonstrates how Sichuan’s profile as a military base provided an urgent demand and special conditions for commercial organization at the local level. It illustrates how provincial and local institutions created an opportunity for the emergence of merchant groups whose relationship to the state grew both closer and more complicated over time. In conclusion\, this paper argues that the wartime mobilization of merchant groups in the 1930s and 1940s was the climax of two centuries of local state-building. \nPicture: 渝城图section4\, kindly provided by the speaker \n  URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/guest-lecture-the-making-of-merchants-war-local-government-and-commercial-organization-in-chongqing-from-1750-to-1950/ LOCATION:Oec. 1.162 CATEGORIES:CeMEAS Lecture Series,Lecture END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160606T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160606T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20160526T144501Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160526T144501Z UID:4207-1465228800-1465236000@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Guest Lecture: 近代以來中國佛教的基本狀況與未來展望 Basic Situation and Future Prospects of Chinese Buddhism since the Modern Times DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture\n近代以來中國佛教的基本狀況與未來展望\n普 慧\, 國家教育部人文社會科學重點研究基地四川大學中國俗文化研究中心\nMonday\, June 6\, 2016  · 4 pm (c.t.)  ·  VG 4.104\n \n  \nBasic Situation and Future Prospects of Chinese Buddhism since the Modern Times\nPu Hui\, Centre for Chinese Folk Cultural Studies of Sichuan University\, Key Research Base of Humanities & Social Science of National Ministry of Education\n \n佛教從公元1世紀傳入中國，歷經2000年，已經完全成爲中國傳統文化的重要組成部分，在中國漢文化以及一些主要的少數民族文化中，發揮了重要的作用。人們的社會生活、精神生活都充斥著佛教內容。無論是上層的知識精英，還是下層的黎民百姓，都離不開佛教信仰的指導。 \n走向近代時的佛教，已經是老態龍鍾，步履蹣跚，一副衰氣。伴隨著近代民族革命和民主革命的興起，中國佛教也開始懲治教內腐敗，力圖復興、光大佛法，以適應社會急變之需。然而，20世紀的中國，戰亂頻仍，內憂外患，民族救亡和國家振興成爲主題。意識形態的加強，政治氛圍的濃郁，把佛教的生存空間擠壓到了瀕臨倒閉的境地。佛教的精神指南作用下滑爲民間神祇的功利主義的心理安慰。20世紀直至今天的30多年裡，佛教迅速復興，力求適應新的社會變革。 \n中國佛教的前世、今生以及未來將如何行進呢？她還能有新的活力嗎？演講者將提出自己的觀點。 \n  \nImage: By Mi..chael\, CC BY-NC 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/hF5j9v\n Design: CeMEAS \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/guest-lecture-%e8%bf%91%e4%bb%a3%e4%bb%a5%e4%be%86%e4%b8%ad%e5%9c%8b%e4%bd%9b%e6%95%99%e7%9a%84%e5%9f%ba%e6%9c%ac%e7%8b%80%e6%b3%81%e8%88%87%e6%9c%aa%e4%be%86%e5%b1%95%e6%9c%9b-basic-situation-and/ LOCATION:VG 4.104 CATEGORIES:CeMEAS Lecture Series,Lecture END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20160603T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20160603T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20160531T162845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160531T162845Z UID:4211-1464962400-1464969600@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Globalization\, Corporate Social Responsibility and the Environmental Impacts on China DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture\nGlobalization\, Corporate Social Responsibility and the Environmental Impacts on China\nMaoliang Bu\, PhD\, Associate Professor\, Nanjing University\, School of Business\nFriday\, June 3\, 2 pm\nSeminar Room (Room No. 13.122)\, Library of the Institute for International Law and European Law\, MZG (“Blauer Turm”)\, 13th Floor\n\n\nWe kindly invite you to this week’s lecture by Maoliang Bu\, jointly organized by the Institute for International Law and European Law\, Sino-German Institute for Legal Studies and CeMEAS!\nThe presentation consists of a couple of papers on China’s environmental issues from the perspective of globalization and corporate social responsibility.

Recent works have successfully “decentered” developmental determinism by questioning both the uniqueness of the European experience and the imposition on non-Western countries of derivative chronologies of modernity. They have especially focused on tracing the existence in China of those elements that characterized the modernization experience in Europe\, above all the introduction of pro-market and pro-consumption policies. This approach\, however\, had the unintended consequence of keeping the historical narrative focused on the European experience\, overshadowing elements that played a uniquely important role in China\, such as population growth. \nIn the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries\, under mounting pressure from population growth\, pro-market and pro-consumption ideas and policies that had culminated in the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1711 –1799) began to lose favor. This reversal marked the beginning of the uneasy relationship with the free market that came to characterize modern China. In China\, therefore\, the fortunes of laissez faire thought and policies followed a very different path than in Europe. They emerged almost a hundred year earlier and came later to be considered unsuitable to face newly emerging problems. In China\, modernity actually arrived in the form of an increasingly interventionist state. \n  \nImage: By tanakawho\, Behind the bars\,  CC BY-NC 2.0\,  https://flic.kr/p/dYqAgS\nDesign: CeMEAS\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/cemeas-lecture-beyond-modernity-understanding-change-in-qing-china-1644-1911/ LOCATION:Verfügungsgebäude\, Platz der Göttinger Sieben 7\, Göttingen CATEGORIES:CeMEAS Lecture Series,Lecture END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160517T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160517T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20160513T105111Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160513T105111Z UID:4184-1463500800-1463508000@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Global Food Research Colloquium - Fertilizer Use in China: Why Is It So High\, and What Can Be Done to Reduce It? DESCRIPTION:Global Food Research Colloquium\nFertilizer Use in China: Why Is It So High\, and What Can Be Done to Reduce It?\n\nProfessor David Abler\, Ph.D.\, Agricultural\, Environmental and Regional Economics and Demography\, Penn State University\n\nTuesday\, 17.05.2016\, 16:15 to 17:45\nZHG 102\n\n\nOn Tuesday\,  May 17th  David Abler will present his research on fertilizer use in China in the Global Food Research Colloquium. The Colloquium has been organized by the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development as a joint event with the Agricultural Economics Seminar.\n\n \n   \nChina’s rates of agricultural fertilizer use per hectare are among the highest in the world\, and fertilizer is a major contributor to water pollution\, air pollution\, and greenhouse gas emissions in China. Several explanations have been put forward for the high rates of fertilizer use in China\, most of which do not stand up to close scrutiny. A number of pilot programs offering farmers information\, technical assistance\, and/or incentives to reduce fertilizer use have been tried\, almost all of which have failed. This paper surveys these explanations and programs\, identifies key unanswered research questions about fertilizer use in China\, and offers programmatic suggestions for reducing fertilizer use based on the experience of other countries.\n\n\nFind out more about Göttingen University Global Agri-Food Systems program and events on http://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/191858.html URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/global-food-research-colloquium-fertilizer-use-in-china-why-is-it-so-high-and-what-can-be-done-to-reduce-it/ LOCATION:ZHG 102 CATEGORIES:CeMEAS Lecture Series,Lecture END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160502T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160502T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20160425T083048Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160425T083048Z UID:4164-1462212000-1462219200@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: AIRCRAFT\, SPACECRAFT\, STATECRAFT Specialist cultures and China-U.S. trade in sensitive technologies DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture\nAircraft\, Spacecraft\, Statecraft: Specialist cultures and China-U.S. trade in sensitive technologies\nMonday\, May 2\, 2016\, 6 pm (c.t.)

KWZ 3.701\nJeremy Gong\, PhD candidate\nDepartment of War Studies\, King’s College\, London \nOver the past years China has claimed itself to be a victim of terrorist activities perpetrated by members of the Uighur Separatist Movement (USM)\, who were blamed for atrocities in Chinese cities of Urumqi\, Kunming and so on. In response Chinese authorities have militarised Xinjiang Province and expressed desire to be included in the US-led alliance fighting Global War on Terror. Who are the Uighur people? Why do they want independence from China? Why have they taken up armed struggle against the Han Chinese? Are they terrorists or freedom fighters? Unsurprisingly media reports on the USM in the West are filled with colonial narratives\, which have been provided by experts with little interest in the history of the Uighur nation or the development of the modern Chinese state. This talk intends to bring in a historical dimension to analysis of the USM to help scholars better understand the rise of Uighur militancy. Although it does not seek to find a solution to violence associated to the USM\, it invites scholars to examine China’s claim over Uighur’s territory\, evaluate China’s current policy on ethnic Muslim minorities and perhaps predict the future direction of such protracted conflict between the Han Chinese and the Uighur people. \nImage: By Jed\, CC BY 3.0\, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=7797823\nDesign: CeMEAS URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/cemeas-lecture-the-uighur-separatist-movement-its-past-present-and-future/ LOCATION:Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum\, Heinrich- Düker Weg 14\, Göttingen CATEGORIES:CeMEAS Lecture Series,Lecture END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160420T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160420T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20160407T102435Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160407T102435Z UID:4154-1461171600-1461178800@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Guest Lecture: China in 1968 - From the Red Guard Movement to the Sent Down Youth Movement DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture\nChina in 1968: From the Red Guard Movement to the Sent Down Youth Movement\nWednesday\, April 20\, 2016 · 5 pm   (c.t.)  KWZ 0.701\nProf. Jin Guangyao\n Department of History\, Fudan University \n2016 is the 50th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution.

Most outstanding historians and Buddhist scholars such as Hu Shi\, Chen Yinque\, Tang Yongtong\, Lü ​Chen\, were all attracted by this topic. Due to their different historical viewpoints and religious commitments\, this branch of study quickly gained in diversity and complexity\, closely linked with almost every significant phenomenon in the process of the modernization of Chinese scholarship. \nMy research is mainly focused on the modern historical expression of Buddhism\, seeking to illustrate why Buddhism became the object of historical writing at this particular moment; how it was organized\, formed an academic ​discipline and gained legitimacy in the new knowledge system and ideological orders. I also want to show how the historiographical developments ​influenced Buddhism\, which tried by way of​ control​ling or modifying its resources and discourses and by adapting to the historical framework\, to fit in the modern category of “religion”. \nPeng Tsintsin has been a PhD candidate at the Centre of Modern East Asian Studies (CeMEAS)\, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen\, Germany since 2013. The title of her dissertation is “Between Faith and Truth: Historical Writing of Buddhism in Modern China”. She is further conducting a research project under the title “The Historiography of Buddhism in Late Qing and Republican Era”. \nThe paper is available to interested participants via Email.

Accelerated growth in the two economies has been facilitated by increasing mobility and emergent forms of labor situated between agriculture\, industry and services. \n \nThese developments reveal the fluidity and dynamism of the division between rural and urban\, creating ambiguous interstitial spaces and networks through which new forms of labor arise. They are entangled with transformations in the regimes of production and land use\, as well as with changes in the organization of kinship relations. In turn\, they give rise to new subjectivities and aspirations. \nCities absorb large numbers of rural migrants aspiring to join the ranks of the urban middle classes. Illegal practices combine with legal forms of work\, while private corporations and land-holding entities blur the boundary between public and private domains. The informalization of work and flexible labor practices facilitates the world’s growing demand for low-wage labor at the cost of unmaking former working-class communities already facing the retrenchment of state-sponsored benefits and social services. The weakening of traditional labor unions and the limited integration of migrants into public service provision means that migrants have to rely on their capacity to secure support networks through kinship and bottom-up labor organizations. Precarious employment also pushes migrants to experiment with new entrepreneurial practices: individuals need to become competent self-starters with flexible skills and business acumen. \nThese processes not only transform the livelihoods of individual migrants but also the conditions of local communities in the wider sending and receiving areas. Emerging peri-urban areas take many shapes. In mega-cities\, former urban cores expand and shrink\, thereby cultivating dynamic spaces which serve as gateways for migrant workers in search of affordable housing and employment. Lower tier cities and so-called “urban villages” pop-up as quickly as urban cores disappear. \nIndeed\, perhaps the most prominent features of development in China and India today are the increasing levels of social\, economic and environmental violence in these interstitial zones\, which\, at the same time\, gives rise to individual and collective aspirations\, hopes\, and imaginations for a better life. \nProposals \nWe invite contributions from the fields of cultural studies\, labor studies\, geography\, political science\, urban planning\, sociology\, anthropology\, and related disciplines that address the entangled social and spatial aspects of these transformations. We encourage applicants to explore\, evaluate\, and debate the workshop themes by contributing empirical case studies and theoretical considerations within comparative Asian contexts. \nThe questions we are interested in addressing include: \n\nWhich new forms of labor and labor organization develop through these rural/urban dynamics?\nTo what extent are interstitial zones aspirational spaces?\nWhich factors facilitate\, allow\, and limit rural-urban migrants’ upward social mobility in these interstitial zones?\nHow do the experiences of migrants who float in and out of these zones challenge their gendered\, ethnic\, religious\, and class-based self-identifications?\nHow are developing transnational economic ties influencing and transforming existing institutional structures (i.e. of labor relations and production regimes)?\nHow can workers interests be represented in the expansion of second- and third-sector employment in China and India? What role do old and new forms of worker organization and labor unions play in the process?\nHow do rural-urban migrants and urbanites organize social security in the absence of effective\, state-organized social protection?\nHow do opportunities for education/skill-formation influence social mobility and employment relations? What roles do governments\, enterprises\, and labor unions play? Is the established state of labor market segregation along ethnicity\, gender\, and other lines challenged by new transnational economic ties and emerging peri-urban landscapes? How\, if at all\, are these transformations likely to impact on social mobility?\nHow are the costs and benefits of migration distributed between the urban and rural areas?\nHow do the boundary-making practices that take place within these interstitial zones articulate with national identifications\, state governance\, and cross-cultural encounters?\n\nSubmission of Proposals\nPaper proposals should include a title\, an abstract (250 words maximum) which states: \n\nThe objective and rationale of your project\nThe methods/sources used for writing the paper\nA brief personal biography of 150 words.\n\nDeadline for abstract submission is January 4\, 2016.\nPlease send all proposals to assist(at)cemeas.uni-goettingen.de. \nWe are applying for funding to finance travel and accommodation costs for workshop participants.

China’s ‘miracle growth’ and development in the recent four decade has stunted the world. Most current observers have been very puzzled about where the energy and determination of such growth has come from. But if one takes a long-term and global view\, China’s current growth and development become rather logical\, if not entirely inevitable. \nThis talk will take the audience back to the very beginning of the formation of the Empire of China (which was at the same time the formation of one of the largest single economy in the world) and show what China managed to achieve in comparison with Europe historically. It argues that contemporary China merely reclaims its ‘rightful’ place in the world rather than invents a new one for itself. So\, the rest of the world will have to get used to it. \n  URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/lecture-series-rethinking-chinas-place-in-global-history-comparatively/ LOCATION:Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum\, Heinrich- Düker Weg 14\, Göttingen CATEGORIES:CeMEAS Lecture Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160202T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160202T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20160119T093304Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160119T093304Z UID:4020-1454432400-1454439600@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Transformative Spaces DESCRIPTION:Special Guest Lecture:\nTransformative Spaces of 19th Century East Asia: \n A Japanese Merchant’s Experience of Treaty Port Yokohama\nTuesday\, February 2\, 2016\n5 pm (c.t.)\, VG 3.102\nProf. Simon C. Partner\nDuke University\, Department of History \nFollowing the experiences of one merchant\, a farmer from Kōshū province (present-day Yamanashi prefecture) who left his village to open a trading venture in Yokohama in 1859\, the presentation will examine the merchant communities of Yokohama during roughly the first decade of its existence\, 1859-1873. Through this lens\, the role of the Yokohama treaty port in the political\, social\, and economic transformations of the 1860s and beyond will be explored. More broadly\, the presentation will consider the transformative agency of the East Asian treaty ports as new spaces of global exchange. \nImage: Evan Blaser\, 266\, CC BY 2.0. https://flic.kr/p/arSwzN URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/lecture-series-prof-simon-c-partner/ CATEGORIES:CeMEAS Lecture Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20160127T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20160127T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20151103T092054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190307T100025Z UID:3843-1453910400-1453921200@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Filmscreening: Somewhere Between DESCRIPTION:Somewhere Between 中间地带\n Filmscreening \nWednesday\, January 27\, 2016 \n 4 pm \n KWZ 0.607\nLecturer: Katja Pessl\n \nFor the whole program click here \nPicture: John Carkeet\, Zoominations\, https://flic.kr/p/vwVbS4\,CC BY 2.0 URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/filmscreening-somewhere-between/ LOCATION:Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum\, Heinrich- Düker- Weg 14\, Göttingen CATEGORIES:Film Screening END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20160120T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20160120T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20151103T091731Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190307T100323Z UID:3841-1453305600-1453316400@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Filmscreening: Lilting DESCRIPTION:Lilting 轻轻摇晃\n Filmscreening \nWednesday\, January 20\, 2016 \n 4 pm \n KWZ 0.607\nLecturer: Katja Pessl\n \nFor the whole program click here \nPicture: John Carkeet\, Zoominations\, https://flic.kr/p/vwVbS4\,CC BY 2.0 URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/filmscreening-lilting/ LOCATION:Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum\, Heinrich- Düker- Weg 14\, Göttingen CATEGORIES:Film Screening END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160119T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160119T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20151208T092712Z LAST-MODIFIED:20151208T092712Z UID:3940-1453226400-1453233600@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Dr. Armin Müller DESCRIPTION:Lecture\nInformationalization and Transparency: The Changing Relations between Local Governments and Healthcare Providers in Rural China\nTuesday\, January 19\, 2016\n6 pm\, KWZ Room 0.606\nDr. Armin Müller\n(University of Göttingen)\n \nSince 2000\, the previously neglected rural health sector of the People’s Republic of China has increasingly become a focus of attention. The introduction of a rural health insurance program since 2003 and the New Health Reform since 2009 aim at its stabilization\, and the transformation of a commercialized public service back to public welfare orientation. Informal practices such as induced demand and overcharging are to be rooted out\, and replaced by regulatory compliance. An increasingly dense and comprehensive system of network-based administration and monitoring has been built up since 2000\, with policy initiatives such as the “Construction of Informationalization” (xinxihua jianshe) driving forward technological upgrading. Local governments and higher levels increasingly encroach upon doctors’ and hospitals’ fields of operations. The government is empowered vis-à-vis the providers through its enhanced access to information\, and holds them accountable to often contradictory regulatory standards. On the other hand\, however\, the providers exploit loopholes and game the new systems of monitoring in pursuit of their own interests. The effects of the technological upgrading on local governance thus remain ambiguous. \nPicture: Dr. Armin Müller URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/lecture-series-dr-armin-muller/ LOCATION:Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum\, Heinrich- Düker- Weg 14\, Göttingen CATEGORIES:CeMEAS Lecture Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20160113T040000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20160113T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20151103T091134Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190307T100542Z UID:3838-1452657600-1452711600@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Filmscreening: Seeking Asian Female DESCRIPTION:Seeking Asian Female 娶个亚洲新娘\n Filmscreening \nWednesday\, January 13\, 2016 \n 4 pm\, KWZ 0.607\nLecturer: Katja Pessl\n \nFor the whole program click here \nPicture: John Carkeet\, Zoominations\, https://flic.kr/p/vwVbS4\,CC BY 2.0 URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/filmscreening-seeking-asian-female/ LOCATION:Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum\, Heinrich- Düker- Weg 14\, Göttingen CATEGORIES:Film Screening END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20151216T040000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20151216T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20151103T090619Z LAST-MODIFIED:20151103T090619Z UID:3836-1450238400-1450292400@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Filmscreening: Flower Drum Song DESCRIPTION:Flower Drum Song 花鼓歌\n Filmscreening \nWednesday\, December 16\, 2015 \n 4 pm \n KWZ 0.607 \nFor the whole program click here \nPicture: John Carkeet\, Zoominations\, https://flic.kr/p/vwVbS4\,CC BY 2.0 URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/filmscreening-flower-drum-song/ LOCATION:Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum\, Heinrich- Düker- Weg 14\, Göttingen CATEGORIES:Film Screening END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20151215T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20151215T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T192924 CREATED:20151201T083428Z LAST-MODIFIED:20151201T083428Z UID:3921-1450206000-1450213200@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Prof. Xiong Yuegen DESCRIPTION:Lecture\nIndividual Power and the Politics of Welfare in China: Bringing Persons Back in Institutional Analysis\nTuesday\, December 15\, 2015 \n7 pm\, KWZ Room 0.606\nProf. Xiong Yuegen\n(Jacobs University Bremen; Peking University) \n  \n \n  \nDuring the past decade\, there has been a growing interest in social policy – making and welfare studies in post – socialist China.

Oktober  – 14. November 2015\nFoyer\, Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum\nEröffnung: 26. Oktober 2015\, 18:30 Uhr\n \nBis heute sind Reiseberichte wichtige Aufzeichnungen über fremde Länder\, deren Kulturen und Einwohner. Das „Fremde“ ist für den Betrachter immer etwas Exotisches\, Geheimnisvolles und daher stets von Interesse und ein allzeit präsentes Thema. Einige können selbst in fremde Länder reisen\, andere lediglich Reiseberichte anderer lesen\, um sich ein Bild von dem „Fremden“ zu machen. Die Berichte zeigen weniger die Situation und die Entwicklungen des bereisten Landes als vielmehr die Hoffnungen und Ängste des jeweiligen Betrachters auf. Sie berichten in verzerrter Weise von Vorbildlichem oder von Erlebnissen\, die schrecken oder erstaunen. \nDie Ausstellung stellt europäische Reiseberichte aus früher Zeit bis in die Gegenwart vor: von Marco Polos Bericht seiner Chinareise\, über die Tibet-Expeditionsberichte der Nazis\, Schriften der Jesuiten zu Religion\, Heidentum & Mission sowie von China-Schwärmern\, Abenteuerinnen und Diplomaten bis zum aktuellen Katalog für Asienreisen aus dem lokalen Reisebüro. Die Poster geben dabei einen Einblick in die wechselvolle Geschichte des Wissens über China\, Tibet und Japan. \nDie wissenschaftlichen Poster entstanden im Rahmen des Seminars „Vorbilder – Zerrbilder. Zur Erforschung von Religion und Kultur Chinas und Japans anhand früher Reiseberichte“ im Sommersemester 2015 unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Katja Triplett (Ostasiatisches Seminar\, Religionswissenschaft). Die Ausstellung wird in Kooperation mit dem Ostasiatischen Seminar der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen und der Niedersächsischen Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen veranstaltet.

Although it is the 104th bilateral investment treaty for China and the 17th bilateral investment treaty for Taiwan\, it is a milestone for both the China-Taiwan relationship and Taiwan’s relationships with the rest of the world.  I will discuss its contents and historical background. \nLongtime observers of China and Taiwan would of course note that the word “treaty” seems politically incorrect and therefore impossible in the China-Taiwan context. Indeed\, the word “treaty” is not used in the document. I plan to provide the historical background to help explain the contents and purposes of the investment treaty. \nAfter presenting the contents of the investment treaty between China and Taiwan\, I will discuss the political history between China and Taiwan and the history of economic and social interactions between the people of China and the people of Taiwan. I will also discuss the legal history of the investment relationship between China and Taiwan. In the Conclusion\, I draw on the historical background aforementioned and the international legal scholarship on the issue of “compliance” to discuss the extent to which the investment treaty lives up to its promise.\n \n  \n  URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/lecture-prof-dr-chi-chung/ LOCATION:Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum\, Heinrich- Düker Weg 14\, Göttingen CATEGORIES:CeMEAS Lecture Series,Lecture END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
