SUMMARY:Lecture: Die Resonanz von Körper und Geist – Zur Philosophie des Geistes im Chinesischen Denken
DESCRIPTION:Die Resonanz von Körper und Geist –\nZur Philosophie des Geistes im Chinesischen Denken\n  \nDr. Dr. Dominique Hertzer\nDonnerstag\, 07.06.2018\, 4 pm (c.t.)\, KWZ 0.607 \n  \nÜbersicht: \nDie chinesische Vorstellung vom „Geist“ (shen 神) wird oftmals mit der westlichen Vorstellung von der „Psyche“ oder „der Seele“ gleichgesetzt. Doch gibt es im Chinesischen Denken überhaupt Vorstellungen\, die unseren Begriffen von Psyche oder Seele entsprechen? Ausgehend von den klassischen Fragen des Leib-Seele Diskurses im Abendland werden wir uns der chinesischen Vorstellung nähern\, die das Verhältnis von Geist (shen 神) und Körper (xing 形) generell als eines der Polarität verhandelt. Es wird zu zeigen sein\, dass die Ebene des Geistig-Seelischen im Chinesischen Denken nicht im Sinne einer Einheit – also des „einen“ Geistes oder der „einen“ Seele -\, sondern in Gestalt einer fünffachen Auffächerung des Geistes zu verstehen ist\, die sich  in Resonanz zu den verschiedenen (korrespondierenden) Aspekten des  Leibes bewegt. Im Zentrum steht die Frage\, ob es in einem derartigen Resonanzverhältnis eine Ursache- Wirkungsbeziehung zwischen Geist und Körper geben kann und welcher Art ihre gegenseitige Beeinflussung ist. Vor dem Hintergrund der gegenwärtigen Diskussion um die Frage nach der Freiheit des menschlichen Willens und des Bewusstseins\, wie sie derzeit in der Philosophie und den Neurowissenschaften geführt wird\, mag der Blick auf das Chinesische Denken vielleicht auch an dieser Stelle eine neue Perspektive zu eröffnen\, die die Diskussion von festgefahrenen Standpunkten befreit. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Underneath the grand yellow imperial roofs of Martyrs’ Shrines: Taiwan’s colonial past and onwards and the political symbolisms at play
DESCRIPTION:Underneath the grand yellow imperial roofs of Martyrs’ Shrines: Taiwan’s colonial past and onwards and the political symbolisms at play\nDr. Liza Wing Man Kam\nTime: Tuesday\, June 5\, 10:30-12:00\,\nVenue: MPI. Max-Planck Institute for Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity\, Hermann-Föge-Weg 12 (Villa)\, 37073 Göttingen\n \nAbstract: \nThe paper investigates the shift of power symbolism represented in Shinto Shrines and Martyrs’ Shrines since the colonial era in Taiwan\, through putting architectural/urban design theories into dialogue with political history. Three architectural complexes\, Hualien Martyrs’ Shrine\, Taipei National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine and the Imperial Palace in Peking are interpreted in material and spatial terms. \nHualien Martyrs’ Shrine and the Taipei National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine\, located on the former sites of two annihilated Shinto Shrines built by the Japanese colonisers\, were commissioned and reconstructed by the Republican’s Party in Taiwan in the 1970s. Shifting from being the site enshrined with the spirits who fought to contribute the expansion of the Japanese Empire\, the current Martyrs’ Shrines were designated to commemorate the sacrificed lives who defended the Island of Taiwan in the Sino-Japanese War. Stripped off from the Japanese zukuri (architectural orders for Shinto Shrine constructions)\, the shrines are bedecked with the grand Imperial yellow roofs\, which accommodated the Chinese imperial power in the late Ming and Qing Dynasty– the very power that the Republicans strove to overthrow during the Xinhai Revolution in 1911. \nThrough analysing the Shinto Shrines\, the Martyrs’ Shrines and their material history\, I contend that a continual interplay of political symbolism via architectural representations from different authorities\, emerged from the Japanese colonial era\, followed by the Republicans’ authority since the Post-war era and till now with manipulation of the notion of ‘colonial legacy/ heritage’–essentially never ceases\, despite the situational considerations to the changing political and economic agendas proclaimed. \nBiography: \nDr. Liza Wing Man Kam is Research Fellow (Architecture and Urban Studies) at the Max-Planck Institute for Religious and Ethnics Diversity and Assistant Professor of Urban Studies and Chinese Societies at the Department of East Asian Studies at the Georg-August University of Göttingen. She was trained as architect and later researcher in Hong Kong\, Singapore\, Liverpool\, London\, Paris and Germany. Her work on Hong Kong and Taiwan depicts the transformation of political\, societal and cultural symbolisms represented by the colonial urban heritage in their unique post-colonial settings by illustrating the inter-relation between architecture\, historiography\, identity formation and hence civic awareness. She currently investigates colonial Shinto Shrines in the Japanese occupied Taiwan as both religious space and political symbolisms for enunciating the different powers in post-war Taiwan. Her work puts into dialogue the local memory and the grand narrated history while interpreting the meaning of colonial urban heritage and colonial legacy. \n  \nDesign & Poster: CeMEAS\nImage: National Martyrs Shrine (0732)\, Public Domain

SUMMARY:Lecture Series 2018: China and International Order: What Order? Which Order?
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Series 2018:\nChina and International Order: What Order? Which Order?\nAlastair Iain Johnston (Harvard University)\n Tuesday\, May 15\, 6pm (c.t.)\, VG 3.103 \nAbstract:\nThe discourse about China’s challenge to the liberal world order assumes that such an order exists. This talk argues that there are instead multiple orders in different arenas (military\, trade\, finance\, information\, environment\, among others)\, and that there are tensions within and between these orders. China supports some of these orders\, wants to reform others\, and opposes elements of others. We need new and more sophisticated ways of measuring order and describing the relationship of states to these orders. \nShort Bio:\nAlastair Iain Johnston (PhD University of Michigan\, 1993) is the Gov. James Albert Noe and Linda Noe Laine Professor of China in World Affairs in the Government Department at Harvard University. He has written on socialization theory\, identity and political behavior\, and strategic culture\, mostly with application to the study of East Asian international relations and Chinese foreign policy. Johnston is the author of Cultural Realism: Strategic Culture and Grand Strategy in Chinese History (Princeton 1995) and Social States: China in International Institutions\, 1980-2000 (Princeton University Press\, 2008)\, and is co-editor of Engaging China: The Management of an Emerging Power (Routledge 1999)\, New Directions in the Study of China’s Foreign Policy (Stanford 2006)\, Crafting Cooperation: Regional Institutions in Comparative Perspective (Cambridge 2007)\, Measuring Identity: A Guide for Social Scientists (Cambridge 2009)\, and Perception and Misperception in American and Chinese Views of the Other (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace 2015). \nInformation from Harvard University. \nPrimary Organizer: CeMEAS\nCo-Hosts: Department of East Asian Studies\, Department of Political Science\, Global and Transregional Studies Platform\nSponsors: Academic Confucius Institute (Qin Yaqing & Liu Kang)\, Department of East Asian Studies\, Department of Political Science\, CeMEAS \n  \nDesign & Poster: CeMEAS\nImage: U.S. Pacific Fleet\, 170305-N-BL637-053\, CC BY-SA 2.0.\,https://flic.kr/p/Rv9DKa

SUMMARY:Lecture Series 2018: Chinese Exceptionalism: A Research Agenda
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Series 2018:\nChinese Exceptionalism: A Research Agenda\nLiu Kang (Duke University)\nTuesday\, April 24\, 6pm (c.t.)\, VG 3.103 \nAbstract: \nThis lecture explores the emergent Chinese exceptionalism in order to search for a possible research agenda from interdisciplinary approaches. It will focus on modern times from Mao to the present\, especially the ideological formations of Sinicization of Marxism (Chinese Marxism or Mao Zedong Thought)\,and “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” (from Deng to Xi). To begin the research\, we need to address 1) Chinese exceptionalism under the rubrics of international politics; 2) Chinese exceptionalism as an ideology\, or value system; 3) cultural and historical roots of Chinese exceptionalism\, and 4) implications for Xi Jinping’s global strategy. \nShort bio: \nLiu Kang is Professor of Chinese Studies\, and Director of Duke Program of Research on China at Duke University. Professor Liu is Elected Member of Academia Europaea (The Academy of Europe) since 2015. He is the author of twelve books\, and written widely in scholarly journals in both English and Chinese. In addition\, He frequently contributes in the forms of op-eds\, interviews\, reviews\, to American and Chinese print media and the internet media\, on issues ranging from contemporary Chinese media and culture\, globalization\, to Marxism and aesthetics. \n  \nPrimary Organizer: CeMEAS\nCo-Hosts: Department of East Asian Studies\, Department of Political Science\, Global and Transregional Studies Platform\nSponsors: Academic Confucius Institute (Qin Yaqing & Liu Kang)\, Department of East Asian Studies\, Department of Political Science\, CeMEAS \n  \nImage: theo phontes\, Opening in Great Wall\, CC BY-SA 2.0.\, https://flic.kr/p/bBDWRT

SUMMARY:Voices of Struggle: LGBTQ & Feminist Activism in China and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Voices of Struggle: LGBTQ & Feminist Activism in China and Beyond\nVoices of Struggle explores the complex entanglements between activism and academia in transnational perspective. What does it mean to be an engaged or activist scholar today? How should we think about the connections/separations between the two spheres of activism and academia? And how can activists and academics best combine their strengths to effect change? In what ways are deepening transnational connections re-shaping the practice of activism around the globe? This two day event brings together leading scholars and activists to discuss these questions in relation to the development of feminism and LGBTQ activism in China and beyond. \nEvent is free to the public. No registration is needed. \nWorkshop: April 17\, 13:30 – 18:15\nVenue: Emmy-Noether-Saal\, Tagungs- und Veranstaltungshaus Alte Mensa\, Wilhelmsplatz 3\, Göttingen \nParticipants：\nBao Hongwei (University of Nottingham)\nHarriett Evans (University of Westminster)\nLi Tingting (Activist\, London)\nKimberley Manning (Concorida University)\n \n  \nFilm Screening: April 18\, 18:00 – 20:00\nLocation: ZHG 002 \nVachina Monologues 来自阴道\nFanPopo|28’|2013\nDocumentary China\nLanguage: Mandarin\nSubtitles: English \nParticipants:\nBao Hongwei (University of Nottingham)\nFan Popo (Filmmaker\, Berlin)\nLi Tingting (Activist\, London) \n  \nProgram:\nA first roundtable session\, featuring Harriet Evans (Westminster) and Kimberley Manning (Concordia)\, explores the history and development of feminism in relation to politics and state power in China.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Sovereignty\, Natural Law\, and the Ironies of Decolonization: India and the Tokyo Trial
DESCRIPTION:Sovereignty\, Natural Law\, and the Ironies of Decolonization: India and the Tokyo Trial\nProf.Milinda Banerjee( Ludwig-Maximilian University )\n Monday\, 29.01.2018\, 16:00(c.t.) – 18:00\, ZESS\, AP26 \nAbstract:\nIs the demand for codified international criminal justice antithetical to the demand for agonistic decolonization of global political\, military\, and economic power? Or can the establishment of global norms of justice be made compatible with\, and even grounded upon\, anti-colonial and democratic interventions? By analysing Indian involvement in the Tokyo Trial (1946-48)\, this paper foregrounds some of the key complexities at stake in the dialectics between global norm-building and anti-colonial agonism. While existing scholarship on the Tokyo Trial has mainly dwelt upon legal and political history\, I draw upon methodological debates in the nascent field of global intellectual history to sharply focus on the tense relation between sovereignty and natural law which mediated discussions on justice in relation to colonialism\, in the Tokyo moment as well as in its long aftermath. I give particular attention to the dissenting Indian judge at the trial\, Radhabinod Pal (1886-1967)\, and contextualize his controversial judgment in relation to (anti-) colonial politics and justice\, not merely in relation to the Japanese Empire – and the decades-old Indian engagement with Japanese models of sovereignty – but also in relation to British India\, Dutch Indonesia\, French Indochina\, and Korea. In the process\, I relate the dynamics of the trial to transregional flows in legal-moral vocabularies and the emergence of international legal institutions\, including\, most notably\, the post-war International Law Commission. Simultaneously\, I relate Pal to other Indian actors\, such as Agent General Girja Shankar Bajpai (1891-1954) and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964)\, who related (anti-) imperial anxieties to the politics of the Tokyo Trial. Further\, I show how the trial linked the paradoxes of India’s decolonization to foreign policy debates and questions about ‘race’ in relation to the United States and the United Kingdom. Ultimately\, I theorize about how the Tokyo Trial can shed novel conceptual light on the tortuous ironies involved in decolonization processes\, as regimes of sovereignty – and sovereign violence – were combated\, translated\, and expropriated across Asia through transimperial and transnational entanglements\, often with haunting long-term consequences. \n  \n  \nDesign & Image Selection: CeMEAS\nImage: The International Military Tribunal for the Far East\n \n

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: The Welfare Regime Within and Beyond Borders: The Openness and Closedness of the Chinese Social Policy
DESCRIPTION:The Welfare Regime Within and Beyond Borders:\nThe Openness and Closedness of the Chinese Social Policy\n\n  \nProf. Liu Tao\n (University of Duisburg-Essen)\n Tuesday\, 23.01.2018\, 18:00 (c.t.) – 20:00\, T0.136 \nAbstract:\nThe functional operation of conventional Chinese welfare regime was closely linked to institutionally created forms of discrepancies and borders entrenching the status differences between different social classes as well as among welfare clients from different social spaces (e.g. rural or urban areas). Since the Millennium an unprecedented and fast expanding social policy in the Chinese history has softened the welfare boundaries of classes\, regions and functionally segregated welfare spaces substantially even the welfare class ‘borders’ won’t entirely disappear in the short term. A conceptual notion of ‘incomplete universalism’ contributes to outlining the main trends of social policy development in contemporary China: on the one hand\, residents from different origins are increasingly considered as national social citizens; on the other hand\, the notion of a national social citizenship and its concrete implementation are heavily constrained by the uneven institutional welfare arrangements created in the past. \n  \n  \n  \nDesign & Image Selection: CeMEAS\nImage: Matthias Ripp\, The colors of the street\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/TjfNZv \n

SUMMARY:The 12th East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:Theorizing the Current Global Order in the Era of Globalization\, Regional Integration and the Resurgence of Nationalism:\nGlobal China\, Regional EU\, and National US?\nXiao (Alvin) Yang\, University of Kassel \nTuesday\, 16.01.2018\, 18:00 (c.t.) – 20:00\, KWZ 0.701\n \nCommentators\nDr. Armin Müller\, University of Göttingen \nProf. Dr. Sarah Eaton\, University of Göttingen  \n  \nAbstract: \nWhy has China become the defender of globalization whereas the US\, who is supposed to be the defender of globalization\, has turned towards more nationalist and inward-looking direction? Moreover\, why is European Union\, the model for regional integration\, not only facing economic\, financial and migration crises\, but also the crisis of the resurgence of nationalist movements within its member states?  This dissertation aims to theorize the current global order after 2008 where there is an on-going contradictory and simultaneous process of globalization\, regional integration and the resurgence of nationalism. It theorizes the relationships among China\, the EU and the US in relation to their respective domestic conditions\, with a particular focus on the bilateral Sino-American and Sino-EU relations. \nMoreover\, it goes beyond the European-Americano-centric international relations(IR) and global political economy (GPE) theories by bringing in non-Western IR/GPE theories. Particularly\, it situates in the theoretical discourse and engages with the research programs of the emerging Chinese IR theories. It critically and systematically carries out literature review on both Western and Chinese IR/GPE theories and their respective critiques by selecting each work (e.g. journal article\, book) based on a set of criteria\, such as the relevance to the research questions\, the level of intellectual and policy influence\, and uniqueness of a theory.  How these competing theories conceptualize hegemony\, the relationship between a hegemonic power and a rising power\, the notions of international relations and global order are compared and contrasted and then synthesized in order to shed light upon the current global order. Furthermore\, it systematically reveals the underlying epistemological\, ontological\, methodological and historical assumptions of these theories to illustrate how and why they interpret the same phenomena differently as well as to bridge these assumptions to make fruitful analyses. \nTo test these competing theories\, a set of hypotheses are generated from their respective theoretical implications and predictions. Subsequently\, these hypotheses are tested on different institutional dimensions by critically examining the foreign policy of China\, EU\, and the US\, as well as applying set theory to analyze their respective bilateral and multilateral trade arrangements and security configurations. They are further substantiated by macro indices\, such as flows and trends of trade\, investment\, capital\, and currency.  Furthermore\, China’s Belt and Road initiative (B&R)\, formerly named as One Belt One Road (OBOR)\, is chosen to be the main case study. Finally\, this dissertation aims to construct and develop a holistic theoretical and conceptual framework that encompasses politico-economic and socio-cultural dimensions to theorize the current global order. \nAbout the presenter: \nXiao (Alvin) Yang is currently a PhD Candidate in Political Science at the University of Kassel in Germany.  His dissertation aims to theorize the current global order by focusing on international relations among and within East Asia\, Europe and North America where there are on-going tensions among globalization\, regional integration and the resurgence of nationalism. He holds a master degree in Chinese European Economics and Business from the Berlin School of Economics and Law and a master degree in International Business from the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in China. He also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music with honours at York University in Canada. Furthermore\, he studied political science\, business management and anthropology at Stockholm University\, explored sociology at University of Toronto\, studied German at Heidelberg Universität\, Humboldt Universität and München Universität\, as well as French at Université Jean Monnet in France\, Western University at Trois-Pistoles and Laval Université in Quebec. \n  \nIf you want to learn more about Alvin Yang’s PhD project\, you can contact us for an extended abstract of his work.\ncemeas@uni-goettingen.de  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture： China and the World in 1900: Stories of the Boxers and the First Global War
DESCRIPTION:China and the World in 1900: Stories of the Boxers and the First Global War\nProf. Jeffrey Wasserstrom (UC Irvine)\n Wednesday\, 13.12.2017\, 18:00 (c.t.) – 20:00\,\nKWZ 0.609 \nAbstract:\nThis illustrated lecture\, entitled “China and the World in 1900: Stories of the Boxers and the First Global War\,” revisits the anti-Christian uprising and international invasion that convulsed the Qing Empire during the final year of the nineteenth century\, paying particular attention to the varied ways these events were understood in different places at the time and the diverse kinds of stories that have been told about them since. As different as the world of 1900 is from our own\, especially when it comes to China’s strength now as opposed to weakness then\, we can see in the Boxer uprising and the response by an Allied Army made up of soldiers from Germany\, Japan\, Britain\, the United States and four other nations and empires many intimations of many things to come in the troubled twentieth century that was about to start and in our own anxious age. \nShort bio:\nJeffrey Wasserstrom\, who received his master’s from Harvard and his PhD. From Berkeley\, is Chancellor’s Professor of History at UC Irvine\, where he edits the Journal of Asian Studies (term ending June 2018) and holds courtesy affiliations with the Law School and program in Literary Journalism.  He has written five books\, including Student Protests in Twentieth-Century China (1991) and Eight Juxtapositions: China through Imperfect Analogies from Mark Twain to Manchukuo (Penguin 2016).  He has edited or co-edited several others\, including\, most recently\, The Oxford Illustrated History of Modern China (2016).  In addition to writing for academic journals\, he has contributed to many general interest venues\, among them the New York Times\, the TLS\, and the Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB).  He is an advising editor at LARB and an academic editor of its associated China Channel. \n  \n  \nDesign & Image Selection: CeMEAS\nImage: ralph repo， Qing Court Return\, The Emperess Dowerger [1902] George E.

SUMMARY:Cancelled: Who cares about inequality in China? Public attitudes toward inequalities in access to health care
DESCRIPTION:Who cares about inequality in China?\nPublic attitudes toward inequalities in access to health care\n  \n  \nProf. Jane Duckett(University of Glasgow)\n Tuesday\, 12.12.2017\, 18:00 (c.t.) – 20:00\, T0.136 \nWe are very sorry to announce that the lecture is cancelled!  \n  \nAbout the letuerer:\nJane Duckett is Edward Caird Chair of Politics\, International Dean (East Asia)\, and Director of the Scottish Centre for China Research at the University of Glasgow. She is also Guest Professor at Nankai University (Tianjin\, China). In 2012 she received the Lord Provost of Glasgow Education Award. In 2014 she was elected President of the British Association for Chinese Studies. In 2016 she was elected a Fellow of the British Academy. \nProf Duckett’s early research on the Chinese state under market reform included a book-length study\, The Entrepreneurial State in China (Routledge\, 1998). It explained state business activities as the outcome of fiscal and staffing constraints on officials in an institutional context of poorly defined property rights. Jane also (with colleague Bill Miller) made a comparative study of public attitudes to openness in East Asia and Eastern Europe\, published as The Open Economy and its Enemies (CUP\, 2006). Her current research is concerned with the politics of China’s social policy making and implementation. She argues through studies across a range of social policies (on local social welfare financing\, health insurance\, poverty and unemployment)\, that the politics behind them and their enormous redistributive consequences make them central to the Chinese state’s marketising project. Her monograph\, The Chinese State’s Retreat from Health: Policy and the Politics of Retrenchment (Routledge\, hdbk 2011; pbk 2013) draws on comparative political theory to explain the Chinese state’s retrenchment in health care provision. She has also co-edited (with Beatriz Carrillo)\, China’s Changing Welfare Mix: Local Perspectives (Routledge\, 2011)\, a book that takes a local perspective on China’s evolving social welfare provision. She has recently published papers in Health Policy and Planning and Health Expectations that draw on a project to survey Chinese public opinion on health care. \n(Information from The University of Glasgow\, School of Social & Political Sciences) \n  \nDesign & Image Selection: CeMEAS\nImage: ReSurge International， doctor checking in patient，CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/3nrMwy

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Poverty Alleviation as an Instrument of Technical Governance in Rural China
DESCRIPTION:Poverty Alleviation as an Instrument of Technical Governance in Rural China\nProf. Xiong Yuegen (Peking University)\n Thursday\, 07.12.2017\, 18:00 (c.t.) – 20:00\, KWZ 0.602 \nAbstract:\nIn the past decades\, China has achieved a great success in poverty reduction by helping more than 800 million of poor farmers out of poverty trap. However\, Chinese government has made a series of serious efforts on social policy implementation in rural areas\, poverty as a problematic persistent issue is still perplexing owing to institutional constraints and policy failure. In 2015\, the Party and central government launched a new national campaign entitled the Targeted Poverty Alleviation Programme aiming to eradicate the problem of poverty in rural areas by 2020. In this lecture\, I will mainly discuss the following issues: First\, how does this national campaign on poverty reduction in the new era differ from the previous ones? Second\, what is the main impact of the targeted poverty reduction programme on the farmers’ life and local government? Third\, what are the main limitations of the top-down model of poverty reduction programme in the centralized regime and its implications for the socio-economic development in future in China. Based on the field research conducted in Jiangxi Province\, the author will link the empirical data with theoretical interpretation on the ongoing social changes in the country. \nBio of the Speaker: \nYuegen Xiong is Professor and Director\, The Centre for Social Policy Research (CSPR) in the Department of Sociology at Peking University\, China. He is the author of Needs\, Reciprocity and Shared Function: Policy and Practice of Elderly Care in Urban China ( Shanghai Renmin Press\, 2008 )and Social Policy: Theories and Analytical Approaches ( Renmin University Press\, 2009 ) .

DESCRIPTION:Urbanization and Social Policy: Prospects for Social Citizenship in China\nProf. Mark Frazier\n (India-China Institute\, The New School)\n Thursday\, 30.11.2017\, 18:00 (c.t.) – 20:00\, KWZ 0.606 \nAbstract:\nAs numerous commentators have pointed out\, China is the first country in the world to experience an ageing population without first having reached developed country status. China is indeed ‘growing old before it grows rich\,’ but the meanings and significance of this demographic event are not clear. A substantial body of scholarship\, generally public policy-oriented to measure and propose solutions to China’s demographic challenge\, has emerged since the mid-2000s\, with some observers concluding that the ageing burden will impose an insurmountable obstacle to China’s continued economic growth. Many analysts also wonder what population ageing will mean for the fiscal conditions of the Chinese government\, given the demands to be placed on a still fragmented\, and seemingly fragile\, public pension system. Yet\, will be argued in this paper\, the effects of population ageing will in large part depend on questions of citizenship. Inclusion and access to basic social protections—and\, by implication\, exclusion from them—are debated not only in China but also in most high-income countries\, many of which are ageing. In both the former and the latter\, pressures from population ageing would be lessened if those now treated in law and social policy as non-citizens were to be granted access to pension and other social welfare programs (notably\, healthcare) that rely on mandatory contributions from citizens. \n  \n  \nDesign & Image Selection: CeMEAS\nImage: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center\, Earth’s City Lights 1994\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/dywxTR

SUMMARY:Lecture: Gendered Religiosity: Patriarchal Structures and Women’s Agency in China
DESCRIPTION:Gendered Religiosity: Patriarchal Structures and Women’s Agency in China\nProf. Mayfair Yang (UC Santa Barbara)\n16. Nov.\, 18:00 – 20:00\, KWZ 0.602\nAbstract: \nThis lecture will examine how social structures of power\, such as patriarchal power\, depend on the vicissitudes of human agency to implement their principles\, opening them up to subtle shifts and reconfigurations in social practice (Anthony Giddens\, Pierre Bourdieu). Traditional religiosities\, whether Christian\, Islamic\, Buddhist\, or others\, are often seen to produce conservative agents of patriarchy\, in both men and women. Writing about the women’s Islamic piety movement in contemporary Egypt\, Saba Mahmood has criticized the narrow definition of women’s agency put forth by liberal Western feminism. She suggests that women’s agency cannot be understood or defined in terms of oppositionality\, critical discourse\, or rebellious acts\, but must also take into account the modesty\, self-effacement\, and self-sacrificing ethos of pious women. Here\, I will examine the non-oppositional religious agency of pious women in rural and small-town Wenzhou. Two divinities in particular\, the regional deity of Chinese popular religion\, known as Goddess Chen the Fourteenth\, and the Buddhist mother goddess Guan Yin\, inspire these women’s religious agency. However\, I depart from Mahmood\, who almost closes herself off from feminist inquiry\, by showing how local women have\, through their self-sacrifice\, religious leadership\, and religious transcendence\, carved out a public space and role for women. In the absence of feminism\, and without directly confronting or resisting patriarchal power\, women’s religious agency has made a social impact and brought changes in local society. \nShort bio: \nMayfair Yang received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from UC Berkeley. She has been a faculty member in the Anthropology Department at UC Santa Barbara\, and is now a Professor in Religious Studies Department and East Asian Studies Department there. Yang was Director of Asian Studies at the University of Sydney in Australia\, and has been visiting scholar at the University of Michigan\, University of Chicago\, Harvard University\, Academia Sinica in Taiwan\, Beijing and Fudan Universities in China\, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. She is the author of Gifts\, Favors\, & Banquets: the Art of Social Relationships in China\, and editor of Chinese Religiosities: Afflictions of Modernities & State Formation\, andPlaces of Their Own: Women’s Public Sphere in Transnational China. Her forthcoming book: Re-enchanting Modernity: Ritual Economy & Religious Civil Society in Wenzhou\, China (Duke University Press). She is also working on a second\, more theoretical book on Wenzhou religiosity and politics.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Is Policy Innovation possible under the Xi Jinping Regime?
DESCRIPTION:Is Policy Innovation possible under the Xi Jinping Regime?\nProf. Reza Hasmath (University of Alberta)\nTuesday\, 07.11.2017\, 18:00-19:30\, T0.136\n \nAbstract:\nDespite playing a key contributory role in China’s recent economic reforms and the Party’s regime durability\, there has been a noted reduction in central-level policy experimentation under Xi Jinping’s administration. Recent studies have further noted an empirical reduction in policy innovation at the subnational level\, and question whether local officials will continue to experiment in the foreseeable future.\nThis talk suggests that although these changes at the central-level are filtering down to local officials\, a great deal of variation in policy experimentation exists. Thus\, the puzzle motivating this talk is how do local officials filter these institutional changes to the extent of observed variations in local policy innovation?\nUsing recent fieldwork evidence\, this talk presents three potential explanations: (1) the ineffectiveness of the vertical reward and punishment systems operated by the Party-state; (2) differing base preferences of local officials; and\, (3) the presence of a cohort effect\, viz. a communities of practice. While some officials are still conducting policy experimentation\, the overall reduction in innovation strongly suggests that potential solutions to governance problems remain trapped at the local level\, and that the central government will lose this “adaptable” governance mechanism that has contributed to its past economic and political successes. \n  \nIf you are interested in the paper “Beyond Special Privileges: The Discretionary Treatment of Ethnic Minorities in China’s Welfare System” written by Reza Hasmath and Andrew W. Macdonald\, please write to us to request the paper. \n  \n  \nPicture:Heather\, blue building #2\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\,htps://flic.kr/p/9hJVCA

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Social Policy in China: Retrospect and Prospect
DESCRIPTION:Social Policy in China: Retrospect and Prospect\nDr. Armin Müller (University of Göttingen)\nWednesday\, 01.11.2017\, 18:00-19:30\, KWZ 0.609\n \nAbstract\nSince 1979\, social protection in China has undergone fundamental institutional transformations. This presentation provides an overview of the state of the literature on social policy in the PRC\, the institutional change which has characterized social protection in the reform period\, and an outlook on future developments. Social protection under the planned economy was characterized by a division between urban and rural areas\, decentralization\, and companies functioning as enclosed mini-welfare states. In the course of economic reforms\, urbanization\, marketization and migration have generated substantial frictions with the institutional legacies of planned-economy social protection. The examples of health and pension insurance illustrate the pattern of institutional change that resulted from these frictions: a process of gradual functional integration. This process adapts social protection to marketization through the creation of insurance systems pooling risks between companies and households; it adapts previously separate urban and rural insurance systems to urbanization by integrating them; and it adapts insurance to migration by improving the portability of benefits from the decentralized and formally enclosed local insurance systems. Functional integration is also driving forward a dualization of social protection in China\, with relatively generous benefits for people in regular\, formal employment\, and merely basic protection for the remainder of the population. While we enter the second term of the Xi administration\, China’s social protection system keeps reproducing economic and political inequality rather than counter-balancing it. Current policy initiatives aim at attenuating inequalities related to employment status\, locality\, and the urban-rural divide. However\, the potentially contentious nature of social redistribution raises questions regarding the degree to which these reforms can achieve their envisioned outcomes. \n  \n  \nPicture: Pedro Szekely， Shanghai\, China\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/YkeqME \n

SUMMARY:Conceptions of the World in 20th-Century Chinese Historiography
DESCRIPTION:Conceptions of the World in 20th-Century Chinese Historiography\nTime: 26-27 October 2017\nPlace: Göttingen\, Germany\nOrganizer: Dr. Xin Fan\, State University of New York at Fredonia\n  \n \nOver the course of the twentieth century\, the constant writing and rewriting of history reflect aspects of the changing conceptions of the “world” in China.  Through various lenses – including but not limited to nation-states\, empires\, races\, civilizations\, cultures\, and classes – Chinese historians both creatively imagined global time and space and actively negotiated China’s position in it. This conference will posit new questions about the formation of Chinese worldviews by focusing on historiography as its primary field of inquiry. It will investigate a variety of ways in which Chinese historians constructed and deconstructed temporal and spatial concepts such as “Asian\,” “Asiatic\,” and “China.” In that manner\, the workshop will also establish an exchange between the field of China studies and global and transregional studies. A cohort of leading scholars from China\, North America\, and Europe have already committed their participation in this event\, and Professor Ge Zhaoguang from Fudan University will deliver a key speech during the event. \nThe conference is jointly hosted by the Göttingen Department of East Asian Studies\, the Center for Modern East Asian Studies and the Academic Confucius Institute. Outside sponsors: Volkswagen Foundation and Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \n  \nProgram: \n26 October 2017 \nKWZ 0.603 \n18:00 – 20:00 Keynote Speech \nGe\, Zhaoguang (Fudan University) \nGlobal Elements in Traditional Chinese Historiography (in Chinese) \n  \n27 October 2017 \nHistorische Sternwarte \nGeismar Landstr. 11\, 37083 Göttingen \n9:00 – 9:15 Opening Remarks \nFan Xin & Dominic Sachsenmaier \n9:15 – 11:15 Panel I \nMaking Sense of China and the World During the Early 20th Century \nChair: Sabine Dabringhaus (Freiburg) \nHon\, Tze-ki (The City University of Hong Kong) \nLocating China in the World: Newspapers and Textbooks in Late Qing Period \nSchneider\, Julia (Göttingen University) \nWriting a General History of China (Zhongguo tongshi): Thinking about Ethnicity in Early Nationalist Historiography \nStapleton\, Kristin (University at Buffalo) \nPopular History from the Pope of Thick-Black Studies \n11:15 – 11:45 Coffee Break \n11:45 – 13:00 Panel 2 \nProblems of Regionalism\, Universalism and Localism \nChair: Xin Fan (SUNY Fredonia; Global Fellow) \nHan\, Xiaorong (Hong Kong Polytechnic University) \nSoutheast Asia in Twentieth Century Chinese Historiography \nSchneider\, Axel (Göttingen University) \nUniversal progress and particular history: Chinese engagement with concepts of universal history \n13:00 – 14:15 Lunch Break \n14:15 – 16:00 Panel 3 \nChinese World Historical Outlooks and Marxism \nChair: TBA \nFan\, Xin (SUNY Fredonia; Global Fellow) \nThe Forced Analogy: Marxism\, Historiography\, and the Chinese Worldview \nLiu\, Xiaoyuan (University of Virginia) \nThe Chinese Communist Understanding of the World through Tibet in the 1950s \n16:00 – 16:30 Coffee Break \n16:30 – 18:30 Panel 4 \nChallenges and Opportunities of Global Historical Scholarship \nChair: Dominic Sachsenmaier (Göttingen) \nChen\, Huaiyu (Arizona State University) \nThe Rise of the “Asian History” in Mainland China in the 1950s: A Global Perspective \nWang\, Q.

Thereby\, they created a wide corridor\, connecting many different peoples and cultures under their rule and beyond. \nThe University of Göttingen (Department of East Asian Studies & Centre for Modern East Asian Studies) will be hosting the workshop Manchu in Global History: A Research Language for Qing Historians. We invite paper proposals from prospective speakers who offer specific case studies as well as broader studies on Qing and Manchu history. \nProf. Dr. Mark Elliott is Mark Schwartz Professor of Chinese and Inner Asian History at Harvard University.  He is one of the most well-known historians of (New) Qing history and has published influential works such as Emperor Qianlong: Son of Heaven\, Man of the World (2009)\, also available in Korean (2012) and Chinese (2014)\, The Manchu Way: The Eight Banners and Ethnic Identity in Late Imperial China (2001)\, etc..\nClick here for more details about the manchu workshop \nImage: David Baron Folgen\,Sign above gate\, CC BY-SA 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/33JdAz

SUMMARY:The Beginning of the Century: A Reconsideration on the 20th Century in Chinese/Global History
DESCRIPTION:Lecture\n\nThe Beginning of the Century: A Reconsideration on the 20th Century in Chinese/Global History\nProf. WANG Hui (Tsinghua University)\n\nOrt: Adam-von-Trott-Saal\, Alte Mensa am Wilhelmsplatz\nDatum: 12.07.2017\, 18.00 – 20.00 Uhr\nOrganizers:\nAkademisches Konfuzius-Institut Göttingen &\nDepartment of East Asian Studies &\nMax Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity\n \n\nAbstract:\nAt the beginning of the 20th century\, the alien idea of century began to replace other traditional concepts of chronology in China and reshaped Chinese idea of time. Following the application of 20th century in Chinese context\, other related concepts such as 19th century\, 18th century and their sequence emerged as derivatives of 20th century. Before 1900\, the concept of century had almost not been discussed in this sense in China and never used as the self-consciousness of our era. The notion of century is closely connected with the 20th century\, its distinction from past eras being not just a simple temporal demarcation but an understanding of singular propensity of the time\, which render the history of the\nothers into a history of one’s own\, while situating it within history in toto for explanation and identification. This is the birth of global synchronicity in the history of China. How did intellectuals theorized the idea of 20th century? This talk will examine the birth of the notion of the 20th century in China from an intellectual history perspective and analyze its particular position in the history of China from the perspectives of time (history)\, space\, self-identification\, social ideals and etc.\n\nPresenter: \nWang Hui is a Changjiang Scholar Professor in the Department of Chinese Literature and the Department of History\, Tsinghua University\, and is Director of the Tsinghua Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences. His recent publications include China’s Twentieth Century (London/New York\, Verso\, 2016)\,  and China from Empire to Nation-State (two volumes) (Cambridge\, Mass: Harvard University Press\, 2014).\n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Liberating the "oppressed nations": Chinese communist networks and the Comintern in Southeast Asia\, the Americas\, and Europe\, c. 1920s-1930s
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture:\nLiberating the “oppressed nations”: Chinese communist networks and the Comintern in Southeast Asia\, the Americas\, and Europe\, c. 1920s-1930s\nAnna Belogurova\, CeMIS\, Universität Göttingen\nTuesday\, 11.07.2017\, 18:00 – 19:30\, VG 1.105\n \nAbstract:\nIn the context of unprecedented circulation of people and ideas in the interwar global moment\, Chinese communists built their overseas networks in the old empires and invented new nations. As they were making revolution both in and outside China\, they aspired to liberate the world from imperialism and to save China. Their rationale was rooted both in long held ideas about China’s place in the world\, as well as in new theories of political revolution which had originated outside China.\nDifferent local contexts and transnational actors such as the Comintern\, shaped the interaction of the Chinese networks with local nationalism and local anti-colonial movements. As the result\, the historical roles of the Chinese networks in Americas\, Europe\, and the Southeast Asia were different. \n  \n  \n  \nImage: tiegeltuf\, Netzwerk\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/pN652C
