SUMMARY:Lecture: China's Fragmented Modernity
DESCRIPTION:China’s Fragmented Modernity\nKai Vogelsang\, Universität Hamburg\n\n  \n  \n\nApril 22\, 2022\, 12:00 PM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 0.610 (Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nWhen modern concepts and institutions entered China in the early 20th century\, they met a society which was quite unlike its European and American counterparts. While functional differentiation\, especially in the cities\, did make its appearance\, Chinese society was still characterized by a fragmentary substructure made up of so many families\, lineages\, and personal networks. This paper will introduce the concept of segmentary society and present some preliminary thoughts on how this social structure affected the formation of Chinese modernity: the concepts of a public vs. private sphere\, the individual\, social classes\, and others. \n.\nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\n\n\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Global  China Conversations #9: Chinas Sozialkreditsystem: Welche Auswirkungen hat es auf deutsche Unternehmen?
DESCRIPTION:Chinas Sozialkreditsystem: Welche Auswirkungen hat es auf deutsche Unternehmen?\n\n28. April\, 2022\, 11:00 – 12:00 CET\nOnline auf Zoom: Bitte registrieren Sie sich hier. \n\n  \nSprecherinnen\nProf. Dr. Doris Fischer\, Universität Würzburg\nVeronique Dunai\, IHK Frankfurt am Main \n\n\n\n\nDystopie eines autoritären Überwachungsstaats oder moderne Vision datenbasierter Regierungsführung? Das chinesische Sozialkreditsystem hat seit seiner offiziellen Ankündigung im Jahr 2014 für zahlreiche kontroverse Debatten gesorgt. Was genau jedoch ist das neue Bonitätssystem und wie wirkt es sich auf die chinesische Wirtschaft und europäische Unternehmen in China aus? Mit dem neuen Fünfjahresplan (2021–2025) soll auch das Sozialkreditsystem weiterentwickelt und vor allem zentralisiert werden. In zwei nationalen Datenbanken werden Informationen über Unternehmen geführt und Schwarz- sowie Rotlisten veröffentlicht. Positive Entwicklungen sowie Verstöße einzelner Unternehmen gegen Bestimmungen und Gesetze werden in den Datenbanken aufgeführt. Das System soll so zu mehr Compliance führen\, Vertrauens- und Kreditwürdigkeit von Unternehmen einsehbar machen\, aber auch Sanktionen bei gröberen Vergehen ermöglichen. Welche administrativen und bürokratischen Herausforderungen kommen auf europäische Unternehmen zu? Welche Risiken bestehen für Unternehmen auf “schwarze Listen” zu kommen? Wie wirkt sich die starke Fragmentierung des Systems auf Unternehmen aus? Kann das Sozialkreditsystem dazu beitragen\, Geschäftsbeziehungen zu verbessern? Wie entwickelt sich das Sozialkreditsystem weiter und welche Auswirkungen hat es auf das internationale Handelssystem? Diese und weitere Fragen diskutieren wir mit Ihnen und unseren Expertinnen in der neunten Global China Conversation. \nSprecherinnen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProf. Dr. Doris Fischer  \nDoris Fischer ist Inhaberin des Lehrstuhls China Business and Economics an der Universität Würzburg.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Is Modern Chinese History Secular?
DESCRIPTION:Is Modern Chinese History Secular?\nRebecca Nedostup\, Associate Professor of History & East Asian Studies\,\nBrown University\n\n  \nApril 29\, 2022\, 4 PM\, Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this Zoom link. \n  \nThis lecture takes up the most fundamental construction of secularization – the separation of the religious realm from that of politics\, philosophy\, science\, economics\, and so on – and asks not simply how it has influenced modern Chinese history\, but also historians’ imaginations of modern China. What are some routes by which the modern secularist narrative has been naturalized in considerations of the twentieth century\, and where is it challenged or reinforced? Is a flourishing field of modern religious history sufficient to break down such barriers? How might other fields and disciplines redirect inquiry in positive critical directions? In its second part\, the lecture will consider two cases of mid-twentieth-century transformations in conceptions of self\, sovereignty\, and community – one centered on sacrifice\, the other on aid and recovery. These cases offer one possible set of methods among many\, in which attention to scale and juxtaposition of sources portray the continued existence and reworkings of senses of space and time apart from the secular-nationalist narrative. \n. \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\n\n\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Contemporary Theater Art Seminar Series 11: Performing the Socialist State
DESCRIPTION:Performing the Socialist State \nSpeaker: Professor Xiaomei CHEN \nTime: May 4\, California 7:00 AM\, Wednesday\, Göttingen 4:00 PM\, Beijing 10:00 PM \nZoom Meeting: https://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/j/95966904122 \nMeeting ID: 959 6690 4122 \nLanguage: English \nPoster: Nathalie Morenings \n\n\n\nContent \nThe lecture offers a quick overview of Xiaomei Chen’s forthcoming book\, Performing the Socialist State: Moments\, Crisis and Success of Modern Chinese Theater (Columbia University Press\, 2022). It begins with the theatrical achievements of Tian Han\, Hong Shen\, and Ouyang Yuqian\, three founders of spoken drama\, and asks how their legacies in the Republican period played important roles in constructing socialist theater. She will demonstrate how these multi-faceted leaders provided the blueprints for the Maoist theater in the PRC\, contrary to the conventional claim that the PRC theater is a total break-away from the Republican period. To this end and in this context\, she will reflect on the continuities with the performing culture in the Republican period through examinations of “Rightist satirical comedies” in the 1950s\, women’s theater and film “red classic” in the 1960s\, scientists on stage in the Maoist and post-Maoist periods\, and soldiers in the transformation from the Republican\, to the socialist\, and finally\, to the post-socialist stage. She will also explore the relationship between science and theater\, music and theater\, and artists and their collective identities as “new cultural workers.” \nShort Bio\nXiaomei Chen is a Distinguished Professor at the University of California at Davis where she teaches modern Chinese literature\, film\, and theater. She is the author of Occidentalism (1995)\, Acting the Right Part (2002)\, and Staging Chinese Revolution (2016). She is the editor of Reading the Right Text (2003) and Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Drama (2010) and co-editor\, with Claire Sponsler\, of East of West: Cross-Cultural Performances and the Staging of Difference (2000)”; with Julia Andrew\, of Visual Culture in Contemporary China (2001)\, with Steven Siouan Liu\, Hong Shen and the Modern Mediasphere in Republican-Era China (2016)\, and with Tarryn Chun and Siyuan Liu\, Rethinking Socialist Theater Reform (2021). \nFurther information: https://yingmingtheater.com/seminar-series-no-11/\n\nOrganizer \n哥廷根大学东亚系 \n\n南京大学戏剧影视文学系 \n\n\nPartner \n哥廷根大学现代东亚研究中心 \n\n哥廷根大学嘤鸣戏剧社 \n\n哥廷根大学学术孔子学院 \n\n哥廷根中国学生学者联合会

SUMMARY:Lecture: Push and Pull: Toward a Taylorian Theory of Alternative Modernities
DESCRIPTION:Push and Pull: Toward a Taylorian Theory of Alternative Modernities\nJustin Ritzinger\, Associate Professor of Religious Studies\,\nUniversity of Miami\n  \nMay 6\, 2022\, 4 PM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n Religion occupies a vexed position in many visions of modernity. It stands as the embodiment of “tradition\,” of the nonmodern\, of the irrational. It is thus presumed to be condemned to a shrinking sphere of social and cultural life. This has typically been construed as a “challenge” to which religion must “adapt” lest it face extinction. This adaptation typically includes demythologization\, rationalization\, and social engagement. Such understandings of modernization\, which I term “push models\,” are useful but insufficient. They fail to account not only for religion’s continuing hold on the hearts of many but also the inspiration modernity gave to many modernizing figures. This talk will offer a counterbalancing “pull model\,” drawing upon the account of moral frameworks in Sources of the Self to develop a Taylorian theory of the formulation of alternative modernities. Illustrated with reference to developments in religion in Republican China\, this theory may offer new angles for understanding this process in other areas of cultures as well. \nJustin Ritzinger is associate professor of Religious Studies at the University of Miami. He received his PhD in the Study of Religion from Harvard in 2010. His work focuses on modern and contemporary Chinese Buddhism. He is the author of a monograph on the reinvention of the cult of Maitreya\, entitled Anarchy in the Pure Land\, and articles dealing with eschatology\, engagements with evolutionary theory\, and international monastic exchange\, as well as tourist development in the contemporary People’s Republic. He is currently working on an ethnographic study of a blue-collar lay Buddhist group in Taiwan. At the University of Miami\, Ritzinger teaches courses in Asian religions. \n. \n.\nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\n\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #10 The Race for Technology Sovereignty: The Case of Government Support in the Semiconductor Industry
DESCRIPTION:The Race for Technology Sovereignty: The Case of Government Support in the Semiconductor Industry\n.\n\nMay 19\, 2022\, 11:00 – 12:00 CEST\nOnline on Zoom: Please register here.\n.\nSpeakers\nSophia Helmrich (PhD)\, Federation of German Industries (BDI)\nChristian Steidl\, OECD\nJehan Sauvage\, OECD\n\n.\n\n\n\nGlobal semiconductor shortages that turned particularly critical amid the COVID-19 pandemic\, have affected a wide range of industries worldwide with the suffering of the automobile industry being the most prominent example. The lack of chips has thus forced carmakers\, amongst others\, to temporarily downscale their production. Customers and consumers need to wait for a much longer time for their desired products in which chips are nowadays used as key components. The shortages of semiconductors have raised\, however\, not only economic but also national security concerns for the reason that chips are becoming indispensable for many devices and tools used in cloud\, space\, and for defense and connectivity purposes. Chips are thus considered by many policymakers as strategic assets where their countries need to strive for technology sovereignty. While the Chinese government has provided substantial support for years to help develop an indigenous and vertically integrated semiconductor industry\, the EU Commission launched the Industrial Alliance on Processors and Semiconductors in 2021 and proposed in February 2022 its European Chips Act to strengthen Europe’s technological leadership in the semiconductor industry. \nHow has the Chinese government supported the development of the semiconductor industry in China? How different was/is China’s government semiconductor support from other countries? Can policy implications and lessons be derived from their experiences? What would be the challenges for the EU Commission’s proposals to ensure the supply\, resilience and technological sovereignty in semiconductor technologies and applications in the EU? \nLiterature\nOECD (2019)\, OECD Trade Policy Paper No. 234\, Measuring distortions in international markets: The semiconductor value chain  \nBDI (2022)\, BDI Position European Chips Act  \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSophia Helmrich \nSophia Helmrich (PhD) is responsible for the topics of semiconductors\, quantum technologies and research data in the area of digitization and innovation at the Federation of German Industries (BDI).

SUMMARY:Lecture: Conservative Radicalism: Watsuji Tetsuro’s Critique of Civil Society and Its Implications for Chinese Intellectual History
DESCRIPTION:Conservative Radicalism: Watsuji Tetsuro’s Critique of Civil Society and Its Implications for Chinese Intellectual History\nViren Murthy\, Associate Professor of History\,\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison\n\n  \nMay 20\, 2022\, 12:00 PM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 0.610 (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \nSince the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, as the Meiji state quickly modernized\, Japanese intellectuals confronted the atomization and alienation associated with new forms of labor in civil society. Unlike in the family\, where affective bonds govern human action\, in civil society\, people ventured into the world as purposive individuals entering into wage-contracts\, which forced them into a means-end relationship. While scholars have dealt with attempts to overcome modernity twentieth century Japan\, few have focused on the how the ideal of the family served as a trope to reconcile the antagonism between the individual and the community. The Japanese philosopher\, Watsuji Tetsuro (1889-1960) critically drew on Hegel’s conception of the family to attack civil society. While his critique is clearly conservative\, I argue that his position overlaps with leftist treatments of modern alienation and reveals the contradictions between spheres of the family and civil society. Watsuji develops his position in an essay written in the 1930s on the city\, where he translates the civil society (bürgerliche Gesellschaft) as “interest society (rieki shakai)”\, a sphere where people pursue personal gain. In response to this\, he advocates rekindling to older forms of society\, where work and family are not so clearly severed. Towards the end of my presentation\, I examine the implications of Watsuji’s critique of urban life for the study of Chinese intellectual history. Specifically\, in both contexts\, my study suggests that we at times blur the lines between radical and conservative because they often have a similar object of critique\, namely capitalism\, which they each grasp with varying degrees of success. \nViren Murthy teaches transnational Asian History and researches Chinese and Japanese intellectual history in the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \n  \n.\nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\n\n\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Lecture: Understanding the Alienated Self: The Interest in and Problematization of the Village in the Post May-Fourth Period 认识被化外的自我：后五四时期对乡村的关注和农村的问题化
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the Alienated Self: The Interest in and Problematization of the Village in the Post May-Fourth Period 认识被化外的自我：后五四时期对乡村的关注和农村的问题化\nLuo Zhitian 罗志田 (Distinguished Professor)\, History Department\, Sichuan University\nMay 27\, 2022\, 10:00 AM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link.\nThe lecture will be held in Chinese.  \n乡村曾被视为中国社会与文化的基础，在近代改称“农村”后，逐渐被认为出了问题。农村怎样成为“问题”及其所成的“问题”本身，既伴随着中国现代性展开的进程，也因其间的“现代”眼光所生成。这背后的一个要因，是城市的兴起和城乡的对立。由于城市被视为国家的主体，原来作为广土众民代表的乡村逐渐沦为化外，不复能表述自己。在五四后出现一种读书人想要了解自己国家的倾向，先是开始关注已近于未知的农村，观感褒贬参半；接着是被关注者逐渐问题化，见解贬多于褒；最后是问题化的农村升级为“破产”或“崩溃”，表述以贬为主。其间一个重要特点，是一些人因缺乏了解而把常态看成变态，甚至把国家整体的危难移植到农村身上。 \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Lecture: Building a New Chinese State from the Northwest: The Proposal of Liu Guangfen (1843-1903)
DESCRIPTION:Building a New Chinese State from the Northwest: The Proposal of Liu Guangfen (1843-1903)\nOng Chang Woei 王昌偉 (Professor of Chinese Studies)\, Department of Chinese Studies\, National University of Singapore\n  \nJune 3\, 2022\, 10:00 AM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nIn the beginning of his book Origins of the Modern Chinese State\, Kuhn asks\, “What is Chinese about China’s modern state?” The answer\, Kuhn explains\, is not to be found by supposing that there some distinctive cultural qualities that will ensure that “China will always be China.” Rather\, it is to be found by probing how the Chinese in the recent past dealt with what he calls “constitutional issues” that had already presented themselves before the West made its impact felt. Using Liu Guangfen 劉光蕡 (1843-1903) as a case study\, I would like to ask a follow-up question: “What is northwestern about China’s modern state?” My assumption is that whatever “Chinese” problems that existed could be better understood if we take the regional perceptions of such problems into consideration. In this talk\, I will demonstrate that Liu Guangfen’s vision of building a modern Chinese state allows us to examine how the concern over nation-state building was shaped by regional experiences. I will also try to show that by studying a particular regional version of “Chinese” nation-state\, we can learn something important about the dynamics that shape the quest for a strong nation-state in modern China in general. \nChang Woei ONG is Professor of Chinese Studies at the National University of Singapore. He specializes in the intellectual history of middle period China and is the author of Men of Letters within the Passes: Guanzhong Literati in Chinese History\, 907-1911 (2008) and Li Mengyang\, the North-South Divide and Literati Learning in Ming China (2016)\, both published by Harvard University Asia Center. \n\n\nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd\n

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Creativeness of Modern Chinese Conservative Thinkers 王汎森: 近代保守思想家的創造性
DESCRIPTION:The Creativeness of Modern Chinese Conservative Thinkers 王汎森: 近代保守思想家的創造性\nWang Fan-sen 王汎森 (Academician\, Distinguished Research Fellow)\, Institute for History and Philology\, Academia Sinica\n  \nJune 10\, 2022\, 10:00 AM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link.\nThe lecture will be held in Chinese.\n \n近代中國保守思想家中至少可以區分成兩類，第一類是本能地反對任何改變現狀的思想，第二類是回到一個重要的思想基盤（如宋明理學、大乘佛學）上戰鬥。在這次演講中，我想討論第二類思想家，以宋育仁（1859-1931）、熊十力（1885-1968）、唐文治（1865-1954）、劉咸炘（1896-1932）、錢穆（1895-1990）等人為例，討論一個思想史上的問題：當晚清以來的新派一直在變的時候，反對或批評他們的人，其實也一直在變換他們的言論，同時也變換他們對傳統的解釋，以便對應挑戰。\n此外，我在比較仔細地審視他們的思路之後，認為他們不只是「回到本來」的樣子，而是有一個微妙的新創過程。譬如他們有時候會用「提高一格法」，把儒家思想，尤其是宋明理學，作一種新的調整、詮釋。借用卡夫卡的話：「當你凝視深淵時，深淵也在凝視你」。 \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #11: Can China achieve its 2022 GDP growth target of 5.5%?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversations #11\nCan China achieve its 2022 GDP growth target of 5.5%?\nJune 16\, 2022\, 2pm – 3pm CEST\nOnline via Zoom: Please register here. \nSpeakers:\nProf. Dr. Helge Berger\, IMF\nProf. Dr. Justin Yifu Lin\, Peking University\n \nIn early March\, China announced its ambitious economic growth target of 5.5% for 2022. Over the past two months\, however\, both the national and the global economic environments became even more challenging for China to achieve this development goal. The unprecedentedly strict\, large-scale and long-lasting lockdowns in Shanghai and other cities in China have strongly restricted normal business operations\, compounded supply chain disruptions and weighed down spending on consumption. Global economic pressure has increased too. The war in Ukraine has slowed the global economic recovery and fueled global inflation. \nDespite these challenges\, some Chinese experts are convinced that achieving the GDP growth target is still possible with effective counter-cyclical policy measures and if China can succeed in its dynamic Null-Covid policy soon. On the contrary\, experts from the West are now even more pessimistic than before. In April\, the IMF\, for example\, again downgraded China’s economic growth forecast for this year to only 4.4%. \nWhy are there so different economic forecasts for China? Do experts from China and abroad assess the relevance of economic challenges for China\, the Chinese government’s policy latitude or the strength/weakness of the Chinese economy differently? What kind of role do international trade and foreign investments play for China to achieve (or not) its GDP growth target? What can China and the Chinese government still do to support its economic development? \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nProf. Dr. Helge Berger  \nHelge Berger is the IMF’s China mission chief and Assistant Director in the IMF’s Asia and Pacific Department.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Chinese Intellectuals’ Rethinking of Science\, Religion and Superstition in the 20th Century: From Yan Fu\, Liang Qichao to New Confucians
DESCRIPTION:Chinese Intellectuals’ Rethinking of Science\, Religion and Superstition in the 20th Century: From Yan Fu\, Liang Qichao to New Confucians\nHuang Ko-wu 黃克武\n(Academician\, Distinguished Research Fellow)\nInstitute of Modern History\, Academia Sinica\n\n  \nJune 17\, 2022\, 10:00 AM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link.\nThis lecture will be held in Chinese. \n  \nLate Qing and early Republican China has been regarded as a “secularized” age that ended “the era of classical learning” and opened the door to an empirical\, scientific search for knowledge. With the progress of secularization\, science gradually established its authoritative status. Thinkers of the May Fourth period\, such as Hu Shi and Chen Duxiu\, held science in high esteem and emphasized a clear-cut definition of science and superstition. To them\, religions were superstitions that needed to be eliminated. This led to many debates. There were two famous debates in the early Republican period. One was the spiritualism debate and the other was the science and metaphysics debate. The latter was influenced by the former in terms of vocabulary and issues. This lecture will describe these two debates and use Yan Fu and Liang Qichao as two examples to illustrate their views on science\, religion and superstition. Their views had a very complex origin. They attempted to rely on traditional spiritual resources to bridge East and West in order to build the moral and intellectual foundation needed for a modern state. New Confucians such as Tang Junyi and Mou Zongsan inherited the legacy of Yan and Liang. They resisted May Fourth scientism and anti-traditionalism\, and thought more deeply about the serious issue of how Chinese tradition and Western modernity should converge. \n清末民初的中國常常被認為是一個「世俗化」的過程，它結束了「經學時代」，開啟了經驗主義的科學時代。本講座以嚴復與梁啟超對科學、宗教與迷信等觀念的思索，來反省近代中國世俗化的問題。嚴復與梁啟超是近代中國引介民主與科學的先驅。嚴復所翻譯的《天演論》帶來了一個新的宇宙觀，而梁啟超受到嚴復影響，也對新學的引介發揮重要的作用。五四時期新舊人物均受到嚴、梁的影響，然而嚴、梁卻走出一條與五四新文化運動的支持者，如胡適與陳獨秀等人不同的思路。他們不主張科學與宗教（即迷信）的矛盾，反而強調，科學有其限度、宗教有其價值，而科學與宗教的發展將導致迷信的衰微。這一套想法一方面源自於赫胥黎的「不可知論」，另一方面則由於他們以易經與佛教來詮釋新的宇宙觀，並肯定「孝」的宗教意義。這一種以傳統思想資源來貫通中西的想法為港台新儒家，如熊十力、唐君毅和牟宗三等所繼承。他們極力抵制五四科學主義和反傳統主義，更深入地思考中國傳統和西方現代應該如何融合的嚴肅問題。 \nDr. Max K. W. Huang was born in Taipei\, Taiwan in 1957. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in History from Nation Taiwan Normal University. He subsequently pursued his studies in the United Kingdom and the United States\, receiving a second master’s degree from Oxford University and his Ph. D degree from Stanford University. He is a distinguished research fellow at the Institute of Modern History\, Academia Sinica. His major fields are Ming-Qing studies and Modern Chinese intellectual history. He has published ten books and more than 100 articles. Dr. Huang’s most recent book is Yan Fu: The Man Who Enlightened China with His Pen (筆醒山河：中國近代啟蒙人嚴復\, 廣西師範大學出版社，2022年). \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Lecture: Modern Alienation and its Antidotes: Strategies from Early 20th Chinese Buddhist Intellectuals
DESCRIPTION:Modern Alienation and its Antidotes: Strategies from Early 20th Chinese Buddhist Intellectuals\nEyal Aviv\nAssistant Professor of Religion\, Department of Religion\, George Washington University\n  \nJuly 01\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 2.739 (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nIntellectuals\, such as Nietzsche\, Weber\, and Adorno\, described modernity as a period of alienation resulting from the collapse of pre-modern social and political structures and the disintegration of shared values. Alienation leaves the individual disconnected from organic relational networks from which humans derive a sense of meaning. But is alienation an inevitable side effect of modernity? In this talk\, I will explore the examples of some leading Chinese Buddhist intellectuals in the modern period and argue that far from being alienated\, Chinese Buddhists seized the significant changes of the period as an opportunity to transform Buddhism and adapt it to the new era. While they were aware of China’s predicament after the collapse of the imperial world order and the spread of colonialism\, still\, they approached it in an engaged and constructive spirit. In the talk\, I will reflect on what prevents alienation from occurring and why not all modernisms were born alike. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

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

SUMMARY:Lecture: Empire of Paper. Missionaries\, Diplomats\, and Early Sinologists as Social Carriers of Translingual Practices and Worldviews
DESCRIPTION:Empire of Paper. Missionaries\, Diplomats\, and Early Sinologists as Social Carriers of Translingual Practices and Worldviews\n\nEugenio Menegon\nAssociate Professor of History\, Boston University\n  \nJuly 07\, 2022\, 06:00 PM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Campus: VG 3.103 (University of Göttingen\, Verfügungsgebäude\, Platz der Göttinger 7\, 37073 Göttingen) \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nDictionaries compiled in the last phase of the manuscript age (late 16th to early 19th century) acted as metaphorical soldiers of the “empire of paper” that European observers in China – predecessors of the modern China watchers – enlisted to crack the secrets of the Chinese language and to convert the Chinese to Christianity. Through them\, information on China\, its language\, and culture circulated in Europe\, and assisted the birth of academic sinology. Such texts also reflect the role of missionaries\, diplomats\, and sinologists as “social carriers” of a hybrid cultural worldview developed between Europe and China\, and their translingual practices.  The story of a vocabulary preserved at the Vatican Library\, the object of this study\, illuminates the past of the Catholic mission in imperial Beijing during the eighteenth century\, and in particular the operations of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith or de Propaganda Fide\, the “ministry of missions” of the Holy See. It also shows how linguistic knowledge of Chinese was treasured and sought for by European diplomats\, linguists\, and missionaries alike\, and how manuscript culture continued to have an important role in the cross-cultural circulation of knowledge about China well into the nineteenth century. \n.\n\n\nThis lecture is part of the lecture series Conceptions of World Order and Their Social Carrier Groups.\n\n\n.\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEugenio Menegon 梅歐金 (BA University of Venice Ca’ Foscari\, Italy; MA & PhD\, UC Berkeley) teaches Chinese history and world history at the Department of History at Boston University\, and was Director of the Boston University Center for the Study of Asia in 2012-2015.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Heavenly Principle and the Trends of the Times: Some Thoughts on Confucianism
DESCRIPTION:Heavenly Principle and the Trends of the Times: Some Thoughts on Confucianism\nWang Hui\nProfessor of History\, Tsinghua University\n  \nJuly 08\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nBetween the 1920s and the 1940s\, first Naitō Torajirō and then Miyazaki Ichisada introduced several important propositions regarding the Tang to Song transition\, capitalism during the Song Dynasty\, and East Asian early modernity. Since then\, despite constant controversy\, revision\, and improvement\, one Kyoto School proposition has garnered universal acclaim: there is a basic difference between the Tang and Song\, and the Song Dynasty deserves special status in history. In the fields of Chinese intellectual history or philosophy\, some of the characteristics of the Confucianism of the Northern and Southern Song dynasties (and especially the School of Principle of the Cheng brothers and Zhu Xi) have been of use to modern Confucian scholars as a reference for understanding the early modern in Chinese or East Asian history. Follow this trend\, the basic principles of Confucianism are not only organized into the European philosophical categories of ontology and epistemology\, but also into such historical categories as: an inward turn\, rationalization\, and secularization. So\, was there an early modern in Chinese history\, or how to interpret China and its “modernity”? This talk will take the establishment of the concept of heavenly principle as a clue to address the above issues. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture: From Mentorship to Comradeship: Irving Babbitt\, The Critical Review\, and Conservative Globalism in Republican China
DESCRIPTION:From Mentorship to Comradeship: Irving Babbitt\, The Critical Review\, and Conservative Globalism in Republican China\nKuo Ya-pei\nAssistant Professor\, Center for International Relations Research\, University of Groningen\n  \nJuly 15\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 0.609 (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nSince the late 19th century\, the “East vs West” dichotomy has been the predominant framework for understanding Chinese civilization and its place in the world. This talk focuses on The Critical Review (Xueheng 學衡)\, a “conservative” platform launched in 1922\, and its effort to overcome this dichotomy. As many modern scholars have pointed out\, those who were associated with the journal\, such as Wu Mi and Mei Guangdi\, held a globalist agenda with a conviction in cultural commonality across the East-West divide. This talk elucidates the particularist dimension of their globalist position. In spite of the apparent disparity between the East and the West\, these intellectuals believed that regional civilizations contain certain shared\, universal elements. The undeniable particularity of each cultural system thereby presents no barrier to the advancement of history. Rather\, they argued that manifesting local specifics was a vehicle contributing to the modern quest for the universal. Through the notion of a diffused locus of the universal\, The Critical Review relativized the West’s place in the modern world. The second half of the talk reconsiders Mei Guangdi and Wu Mi’s indebtedness to their American “mentor” Irving Babbitt. While Babbitt’s hermeneutic method and historical outlook left an imprint on the intellectual lives of his Chinese students\, Wu and Mei were cognizant of their own as well as Babbitt’s particularity. Their globalism rendered both Prograssive-Era America and post-revolutionary China as parallels that could learn from each other but held neither to be the absolute paragon of human progress.

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

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #13: Krieg in der Ukraine: Ein Gewinn für China?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversations #13\nKrieg in der Ukraine: Ein Gewinn für China?\n  \nDatum: 08. September 2022\nZeit: 11:00 – 12:00 (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rom\, Stockholm\, Wien\nOrt: Online auf Zoom – Anmeldeformular \nSprecherin und Sprecher\nDr. Marina Rudyak\nProf. Dr. Julian Hinz \n \nAm 24. Februar 2022 überfiel Russland die Ukraine. Als Antwort darauf verhängten viele westliche Länder eine Kaskade wirtschaftlicher und politischer Sanktionen. China hingegen erklärte eine „grenzenlose Freundschaft“. Während einige Beobachter argumentieren\, dass diese Antworten die Kluft zwischen Ost und West vertiefen und die wirtschaftliche Entkopplung weiter vorantreiben\, sprechen sich andere für ein China aus\, das zwischen den Fronten steht. Durch die Sanktionen von westlicher Nachfrage abgeschnitten\, hat Russland in China zwar in manchen Sektoren Abnehmer gefunden. Gleichzeitig sind viele insbesondere private Unternehmen in China vorsichtig geworden\, ihre Tätigkeiten in Russland im gewohnten Maße fortzusetzen. Sechs Monate nach Kriegsbeginn und mit einem richtungsweisenden Nationalen Parteikongress vor der Tür diskutieren wir folgende Fragen: Wo liegen Chinas ökonomische und geopolitische Interessen? Beobachten wir eine Zeitenwende in Chinas Engagement gegenüber Russland? Welche Effekte haben die Sanktionen? Und welche Auswirkungen haben die politischen Spannungen auf die Wirtschaftsbeziehungen mit China und der Welt? \nIn unserer 13. Global China Conversation wird Handels- und Sanktionsexperte Julian Hinz die Auswirkungen der Sanktionen auf die globalen Handel- und Investitionsströme beleuchten und die China- und Russlandexpertin Marina Rudyak Chinas geopolitische Rolle in dem Konflikt diskutiert. Entsteht eine erneute geopolitische und ökonomische Blockbildung? \n\n\n\nProgramm\nDie Veranstaltung besteht aus Impulsvorträgen der Sprecher gefolgt von einer Diskussion. \nDie Global China Conversation #13 wird auf Deutsch abgehalten. \n  \n\n\n\n\nSprecherin und Sprecher\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Marina Rudyak  \nMarina Rudyak ist Assistenzprofessorin für Chinesische Kulturwissenschaft an der Universität Heidelberg und Vertretungsprofessorin für Chinesische Politik an der Universität Frankfurt.

SUMMARY:Podiumsdiskussion: Systemwettbewerb China
DESCRIPTION:Öffentliche Podiumsdiskussion: Chinas Wirtschaft im globalen Systemwettbewerb\n\nZeit: 06.10.2022\, 18:00 – 19:30 (GMT +2)\nOrt: Zentrales Hörsaalgebäude ZHG 002\, Platz d.

Was bedeuten die wachsenden wirtschaftlichen Abhängigkeiten von China für Deutschland und Europa? Verstärkt die Handhabung der Corona-Pandemie die Rivalität zwischen China und dem “Westen”?\nChinas System der staatskapitalistischen Autokratie hat sich unter Xi Jinping nicht nur weiter verfestigt\, sondern China positioniert sich immer selbstbewusster als Alternative zu westlicher Demokratie und Marktwirtschaft. Eine neue Form internationaler Beziehungen könnte kultiviert werden und so eine Abkehr von Chinas außenpolitischem Prinzip der Nichteinmischung einleiten. Der neue Systemwettbewerb zwischen den demokratischen Marktwirtschaften und dem autoritären Staatskapitalismus in China birgt neue Herausforderungen. Dies zeigt sich beispielsweise in Chinas Haltung gegenüber dem Globalen Süden und den damit einhergehenden wirtschaftlichen und politischen Perspektiven in Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländern oder im Rahmen der Neuen Seidenstraße durch sich verstärkende Handlungs- und Investitionsbeziehungen. \nDietmar Baetge (TH Wildau)\nDr. Dietmar Baetge ist Professor für Internationales Handelsrecht und Wirtschaftsprivatrecht an der Technischen Hochschule Wildau. Zu seinen Forschungsschwerpunkten gehören die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Wettbewerbs- und internationaler Handelspolitik. \n\nAnja Jetschke (Universität Göttingen)\,\nAnja Jetschke ist seit April 2012 Professorin für Internationale Beziehungen am Institut für Politikwissenschaft an der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Ontology of Self in Translating China's New Silk Roads
DESCRIPTION:Ontology of Self in Translating China’s New Silk Roads\nSophia Kidd\nVisiting Lecturer at the University of Goettingen\nDate: October 26\, 2022\, 04 pm – 06 pm (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 0.609 (University of Goettingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)  \n  \nIn this lecture\, Sophia Kidd discusses how the ontological unit of ’self‘ cannot be taken for granted when discussing narratives\, translation of\, and methodology for understanding China’s New Silk Roads. She will do this by analyzing how the ontology of self remains fluid in translation of four key terms in China’s BRI narrative: ‘Five Pillars (Wu Tong 五通)’\, ‘Chinese Dream (Zhongguo Meng 中国梦)\,’ ‘Community of Common Destiny (Mingyun Gongtongti 命运共同体) \,’ and ‘harmony in diversity (he er bu tong 和而不同) .’ First\, we will look at the epistemological and ontological ‘self’ in Western thought in contradistinction to the Chinese notion of ‘self (ziwo 自我).’ By examining selected uses of the term ziwo in Chinese literature over the past two thousand years\, we arrive at a constructed Chinese notion of self which resembles the epistemological more than the ontological Western ‘self\,’ while failing to reach equivalency with either. This understanding will inform our lexical and contextual analysis of Wu Tong\, Zhongguo Meng\, Mingyun Gongtongti\, and he er bu tong. \n\nLecturer:\n\nDr. Sophia Kidd is an Asia-focused scholar in the social sciences and arts disciplines. She is affiliated with the Chinese Department at Sichuan University\, as well as the Research Center of Literary Geography at Southwest University\, China. Her most recent contribution to a comparative study of spatial studies in literature can be seen in Spatial Studies in Literature (Palgrave 2022). Dr. Kidd has given a visiting course and lectures on Chinese contemporary art and politics as at Ruhr University Bochum\, while currently delivering a course at Göttingen University on her book\, Culture Paves the New Silk Roads (Palgrave\, 2022).
