SUMMARY:The 5th East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 5th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon\n Marina Schmitz\n“Preventing Labor Turnover of Blue Collar Workers in China – Tilting at Windmills?” \nDate: June 17\, 2014\, 6.15pm-7.30pm\nPlace: CeMEAS-Meeting Room\, KWZ-Building\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\n \n \nMarina Schmitz\, University of Göttingen\nRetaining employees is the crucial issue of HR managers in China nowadays. Especially manufacturing companies in China report turnover rates of 70 percent and above. Thus\, it is further necessary to deepen academic understanding of the mindset of blue collar workers\, specifically\, psychological and sociological aspects of voluntary turnover behavior among this cohort\, being the driving force of the Chinese economy. To get further insights into the topic\, I conducted interviews with blue collar workers and HR managers in China regarding work related issues\, especially asking them about influence factors of labor turnover decisions. Drawing on the knowledge I acquired in the interviews\, I am currently developing a survey which should enable me to answer the following research questions: What kind of incentives should the companies offer to make the blue collar workers stay? Which job characteristics are important for the blue collar workers regarding long-term retention? Is there a difference between the blue collar workers working in different regions or differing in demographic aspects? \nMarina Schmitz is research associate and doctoral student at the Chair for HRM and Asian Business at the University of Göttingen. She obtained her master in Sinology (Classical Sinology\, Economic Studies) at the University of Trier in 2012. In her research she focusses on retention of factory workers and the influence factors of labour turnover in China. \n  \nCeMEAS will provide coffee and light refreshments\, however feel free to bring along additional food and drinks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:LECTURE: U.S. Pivoting to Asia: Is there a real change in the American Foreign Policy towards China and the Asia- Pacific?
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE:\nU.S. Pivoting to Asia: Is there a real change in the American Foreign Policy towards China and the Asia-\n Pacific?\nMarcin Grabowski\, Jagiellonian University\nThursday\, December 12\, 2013\, 6 pm KWZ\, Room 0.603\n\n\nG.W. Bush’s policy towards Asia-Pacific region was often perceived and described as neglectful. Occupied with other regions\, especially Iraq and Afghanistan\, Bush couldn’t devote enough time and energy to develop U.S. relations with countries in East Asia and the Pacific or regional organizations. \n \nDeeper research show\, however\, the policy wasn’t as unfavorable\, as characterized in both dimensions – in case of U.S. relations with countries of the region\, we should look at improving relations with People’s Republic of China\, stronger alliance connections with Japan and Australia\, as well as solution of nuclear problem of India. In case of regional organizations – after many negligence of the first term (and a risk of being excluded from the region in case of successful development of the East Asia Summit)\, we could observe many beneficial initiatives. Barack Obama entered the White House bringing hopes of greater engagement in the Asia-Pacific Region\, what was reinforced by his advisors’ premises of U.S. foreign policy (Kurt Campbell). Also his engagement with regional powers (Strategic and Economic Dialogue with China)\, regional organizations (membership of the U.S. in the EAS\, support for the TPP) made his term Pacific presidency. It was reinforced by the H. Clinton’s statement that the 21st Century is America’s Pacific Century . The presentation tries to show certain real and sham dichotomies in the American foreign policy towards Asia and the Pacific\, including the role of the People’s Republic of China in the ‘American pivoting’.

SUMMARY:Lecture:Changing Cultures and Sociospatial Restructuring in Urban China: Shanghai
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:Changing Cultures and Sociospatial Restructuring in Urban China: Shanghai\nDeljana Iossifova\, University of Manchester \nThursday\, December 5\, 2013  6 pm KWZ\, Room 0.602 \nThe talk explores closely linked processes of urban restructuring in China – rural-to-urban migration\, urban redevelopment (including demolition and resettlement) and the ‘worlding’ of cities – through the lens of sanitation infrastructure and practices. \nSanitation is here understood as a nexus between different spatial scales\, social groups and levels of governance. On the case of Shanghai\, the talk traces the evolution of sanitation infrastructure over time to illustrate the varying sanitation-related experiences and practices among different social groups in the contemporary city\, raising the following questions: How do sanitation practices and perceptions impact on both\neveryday life and long-term life trajectories? How do dissimilar groups and individuals negotiate their differing practices? How are different inequalities produced\, reproduced and\, potentially\, negotiated? How are policies and  practices on the ground linked with global economic and ecological processes? In this way\, the talk explores the\ncontemporary challenges faced by municipalities and urban dwellers alike and considers some likely consequences for the future of growing cities in China and beyond.

SUMMARY:LECTURE: The African Policies of EU and People‘s Republic of China
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE: The African Policies of EU and People‘s Republic of China\n\nThursday\, November 14\, 2013 \n6 pm\, KWZ\, Room 0.603\nDr. Niall Duggan\nUniversity of Göttingen \nLecture Abstract:\nBoth Europe and China have strong strategic interests in Africa. However\, the actions of one of these two actors in Africa can often be counterproductive to the actions of the other\, which can often lead to a negative impact on Africa itself. Both the European Union and the People’s Republic of China have issued a policy on Africa. These documents outline how each actor intends to undertake its actions in Africa. Each actor outlines its political and economic interests in Africa\, as well as the role it intends to play in the development of the region. There are numerous differences in the policies of each actor\, most notably in terms of how to deal with states that have poor human rights records or a history of misusing funds intended for development projects. A number of similarities can be found between the two policies\, such as their commitment to combat terrorism and organised crime. This paper examines the call for trilateral dialogue and cooperation between the EU\, China and Africa and looks at how such a dialogue would operate\, who would benefit most and whether it could replace the EU’s and China’s current policies on Africa.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series China goes global: Reflections on the Impact of a Rising Power
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Series\nChina goes global: Reflections on the Impact of a Rising Power\nThursday\, October 31\, 2013\,  6 pm\, KWZ\, Room 0.603\nProf. Bart Dessein\nGhent University\, Belgium \n  \nEconomic growth  has increasingly interconnected China with world markets\, and has given it an increasing clout in global politics and governance. This rise has\, however\, also had important consequences for the country’s homeland affairs: economic developments have led to a rapid urbanization\, an ecologic downgrade\, and growing problems of social inequality. Along with the introduction of elements of a free market system and a greater religious freedom\, the ideological monopoly of the ruling CCP has become questioned by many more citizens.While\, on the one hand\, having to cope with the ecological\, social\, and political consequences of recent economic developments\, the country’s political and economic power has also fed Chinese nationalist and patriotic feelings\, and the country’s imperial past has gradually been revaluated by the Chinese political and intellectual elite and Chinese citizens alike. Chinese policies not only affect the Chinese population\, but also affect the world at large… \n  \nFoto: Shanghai Pudong\nUser: ullrich.c\nLizenz: Creative Commons

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Die Kulturrevolution im Familiengedächtnis
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Series\nDie Kulturrevolution im Familiengedächtnis\nDr. Sascha Klotzbücher (Göttingen\, Wien)\n28. Juni 2013\, 16:00 Uhr\, KWZ 0.601 \nBeispiele aus Film\, Literatur und Bildender Kunst zeigen den „langen Schatten“ der Kulturrevolution. Dieser bleibt jedoch für die Sozialwissenschaften schwer wissenschaftlich fassbar. In diesem Projekt werden daher Zeitzeugen und ihre Nachfahren in Wuhan befragt. Sie werden nicht zu Informationslieferanten  degradiert\, sondern in den Forschungsprozess integriert. Statt den Kontinuitäten der politischen und gesellschaftlichen Struktur frage ich nach den prozessualen Kontinuitäten.Welche Formen maoistischer Deutungs-  und Identitätsmuster sind heute noch valide\, wie werden sie in Familien revitalisiert und an die Kinder weitergegeben? Am Beispiel des für die Revolution zu ertragenden Leids verdeutliche ich in einer transgenerationalen Perspektive\, wie Identitäten aus der politischen Sphäre in die Familie transferiert werden und dort einen alternativen Wahrnehmungs- und Gefühlsraum bilden.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series:Medicincal Delicatessen
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Series:\nMedicincal Delicatessen\nChinese medicine practitioners and substances in contemporary China\nFriday\, June 7\, 2013\, 3 pm\, KWZ\, Room 0.609\nDr. Lena Springer\nEASTmedicine research centre\, University of Westminster\, London \n\nLecture Abstract:\nThis talk presents findings of a multi-sited ethnography based on recent fieldwork in Sichuan province\, China: in a remote region and in a global centre of science and trade. Scholars and medical circles in the region struggle to write its histories. The East-West divide of Sichuan province provides a test-field that reflects the overall geographic and\ncultural frictions of the Chinese territorial and symbolic order. I will compare two “medical capitals” (yaodu) in Sichuan province: 1) one of them is contemporarily a global transfer centre for trade and pharma-science\, and 2) the other one in the same province has had a similar function in the past but is now situated in the remote (Tibetan) West\nof the province. My encounters with providers and prescribers of medicinal substances illustrate how their practice and ways of thinking differ fundamentally from the official map of ethnic relations in China. This is true for both Tibetan and Chinese physicians\, in a monastery and in a local clinic. \nChinese medicines are circulated and prescribed in Europe today\, and in China where they originate from. Diverse practitioners\, pharmaceutical providers\, and researchers are changing the ways how the medicinal substances are processed and evaluated. This circulation and prescription has local histories throughout world regions – but also within (Han-)China itself.  Pharmaceutical evidence discourses and regulatory frameworks have their own global histories in China and East Asia. Fieldwork illuminates the historically important relation between remote South-West China and a scholarly influential region (“Jiangnan”).

SUMMARY:Lecture Series Comparative Terror
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Series: Comparative Terror in China and Taiwan\nPeformances and Realities in Regime Consolidation: The Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries and the White Terror in Su’nan and Taiwan\, 1950-1954\nMonday\, May 13\, 2013\, 6 pm\, KWZ\, Room 0.606\nJulia C. Strauss\nSOAS\, University of London\n \n\nLecture Abstract:\nMuch of the state building literature that comes from a Weberian perspective focusses on the creation and solidification of state institutions\, particularly those bureaucratic institutions concerned with external defense\, internal order\, the extraction of sufficient resources to fund the state apparatus\, and therecruitment and socialization for the state bureaucracy itself. Other literatures in a more rational choice vein\, particularly associated with Robert Bates’ work on Africa\, focus on how incentives for individuals within state bureaucracies often lead to rent seeking behaviour that undercuts the wider state building project. \nMy work attempts to fill in the large grey areas and gaps between these two literatures on state building by focussing on an aspects of state building that is often simply assumed: how the higher reaches of the state mobilize the lower reaches of the bureaucracy and focus its attentions and commitments. I suggest that this process of state mobilization occurs through a complex of actions that can be loosely called the bureaucratic “campaign” that operates in tension with the more procedurally and precedent bound tendencies of government bureaucracies\, and further draw on the related notions of repertoire and performance as critical elements to processes of both campaign mobilization and workaday bureaucratization. In so doing\, I expand on Charles Tilly’s notions of “repertoire” (which he applied almost exclusively to social movements and protest from “below” as part of claim making) to consider two crucial factors in the consolidation of otherwise unproven and/or outright illegitimate new regimes of the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan) in the early 1950s. At this time\, the young PRC and the recently relocated ROC (Taiwan) were deeply concerned about questions of internal (and external) security\, and launched massive campaigns against real and imagined subversion through the Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries (PRC) and the “White Terror”. 1) how leaders themselves drew on particular repertoires as the “frames” that established the boundaries of the desirable and achievable in terms of preference formation and 2) how leaders utilized particular kinds of performances to communicate new norms\, vocabularies\, and practices to the population at large.
