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.

SUMMARY:Manchu in Global History: A Research Language for Qing Historians
DESCRIPTION:International Symposium:\nManchu in Global History:\nA Research Language for Qing Historians\nKeynote Lecture:\nManchu Sources and the Problem of Translation\nManchu in Global History:\nA Research Language for Qing Historians\nTime: September 19-22\, 2017\nPlace: KWZ 1.601\, University of Göttingen \n\nOrganisers:\nJulia C. Schneider (Department for East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen)\nKatja Pessl (Centre for Modern East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen) \n  \nManchu Sources and the Problem of Translation\nProf. Dr. Mark Elliott (Harvard University)\nSeptember 20\, 2017\, 4-6 pm (c.t.)\nKWZ\, Room 1.601/ 0.602 \nAs an ‘ethnic minority’ with origins in the semi-nomadic civilisations of northeast Asia(Manchuria)\, the Manchus successfully ruled Han-dominated China and extended the territory of the “Great Qing” (1636/1644-1912) far into Inner Asia\, including Mongolia\, Tibet\, and East Turkestan (Xinjiang). 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

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture Series: Air Pollution and the Public in China:  Perspectives from Urban and Rural Areas
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture Series: \nAir Pollution and the Public in China:  Perspectives from Urban and Rural Areas \nBryan Tilt\, Oregon State University\nTuesday\, 04.07.2017\, 18:00 – 19:30\, VG 2.104 \n \nAbstract:\nChina’s air pollution crisis has recently attracted a great deal of scientific and media attention both domestically and internationally. While official statistics and government pronouncements have been widely circulated and discussed via social media\, the perceptions and reactions of people who deal with smog on a daily basis remain poorly understood. How do people in urban and rural China perceive the environmental crisis they face? How do they understand and cope with air pollution in the context of their daily lives? How do they balance the relationship between environmental quality and overall quality of life? In this presentation\, I draw upon recent research in one urban area (Tangshan\, Hebei Province) and one rural area (Panzhihua\, Sichuan Province) to address these questions. I discuss the research findings in the context of emerging literature on the rise of environmental consciousness in China\, and consider the implications for the control of air pollution in China today. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPicture: Steve Slep\,DSC01109\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/2s1DTy

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Powers of Xi Jinping
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nThe Powers of Xi Jinping\nProf. Kerry Brown (King’s College London)\nVenue: VG 0.606\nDate: Wednesday\, 28.06.2017\, 18.00 – 20.00 Uhr\nOrganizers: Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department for Political Science\nAbstract:\nThis year will see the 19th Party Congress\, marking a moment of re-evaluation for the Communist Party policy and elite leadership. Under Xi since 2012 there has been what is claimed to have been a concentration of power within his hands. But how can we best understand this power\, and what sense does it make to say that Xi is the new Mao of China? What is his political programme\, and how does it relate to the organisation he is meant to be serving and leading to a sustainable future – the Communist Party of China.’ \nPresenter:\nKerry Brown is Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College\, London. His main interests are in the politics and society of modern China\, in its international relations and its political economy. His monographs include `Struggling Giant: China in the 21st Century’ (London\, June 2007 )and `Friends and Enemies: The Past\, Present and Future of the Communist Party of China’ (London\, 2009). \n  \n  \nImage: APEC 2013\,neiljs\,Presiden China Hadiri APEC 2013\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/goJ66F

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture Series: Paper Tigers\, Hidden Dragons: Firms and the Political Economy of China’s Technological Development
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture Series:\nPaper Tigers\, Hidden Dragons: Firms and the Political Economy of China’s Technological Development \nDouglas B. Fuller\, Zhejiang University\nTuesday\, 27.06.2017\, 18:00 – 19:30\, VG 3.103 \n \nChina presents us with a conundrum. How has a developing country with a spectacularly inefficient financial system\, coupled with asset-destroying state-owned firms\, managed to create a number of vibrant high-tech firms? \nChina’s domestic financial system fails most private firms by neglecting to give them sufficient support to pursue technological upgrading\, even while smothering state-favored firms by providing them with too much support. Due to their foreign financing\, multinational corporations suffer from neither insufficient funds nor soft budget constraints\, but they are insufficiently committed to China’s development. Hybrid firms that combine ethnic Chinese management and foreign financing are the hidden dragons driving China’s technological development. They avoid the maladies of China’s domestic financial system while remaining committed to enhancing China’s domestic technological capabilities. \nIn sad contrast\, China’s domestic firms are technological paper tigers. State efforts to build local innovation clusters and create national champions have not managed to transform these firms into drivers of technological development. \nThese findings upend fundamental debates about China’s political economy. Rather than a choice between state capitalism and building domestic market institutions\, China has fostered state capitalism even while tolerating the importing of foreign market institutions. While the book’s findings suggest that China’s state and domestic market institutions are ineffective\, the hybrids promise an alternative way to avoid the middle-income trap. By documenting how variation in China’s institutional terrain impacts technological development\, the book also provides much needed nuance to widespread yet mutually irreconcilable claims that China is either an emerging innovation power or a technological backwater. \nLooking beyond China\, hybrid-led development has implications for new alternative economic development models and new ways to conceptualize contemporary capitalism that go beyond current domestic institution-centric approaches. \n  \n  \n  \nPicture: Matt\, Garment factory jiaxing\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/593ruE

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture Series: Behind the headlines:  reforming governance from rebuilding China’s fiscal foundations
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture Series: \nBehind the headlines:  reforming governance from rebuilding China’s fiscal foundations \nChristine Wong\, University of Melbourne\nMonday\, 19.06.2017\, 18:00 – 19:30\, KWZ 0.602 \n \nIn the lead up to the 19th Party Congress in November 2017\, the dominant narrative on Xi Jinping’s first term is that his ambitious reform program has stalled\, and that the anti-corruption campaign is just a ruse for power-grab and repression. This lecture argues instead that behind the headlines\, significant progress has been made towards building the foundations for a rule-based system of governance.\nThe analysis starts from reviewing the progress in fiscal reform\, a sector seen as the lynchpin of the ambitious\, comprehensive program announced at the Third Plenum of the Chinese Communist Party’s 18th Party Congress in November 2013. From the outside\, it looks like the early passage of the Budget Law and other legislative changes have brought few concrete results\, and progress is far behind schedule. In fact\, the Budget Law and associated documents have set in motion some fundamental changes that will redraw the boundary between the state and market\, as well as the state and society. These changes are just starting to be implemented\, though\, and progress will unlikely be linear. \nProfile\nChristine Wong is Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Centre for Contemporary Chinese Studies at the University of Melbourne. Prior to joining Melbourne\, she was Professor and Director of Chinese Studies at the University of Oxford\, where she was a Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall. She has also held the Henry M. Jackson Professorship in International Studies at the University of Washington\, and taught economics at the University of California\, Santa Cruz; University of California\, Berkeley; and Mount Holyoke College.\nProfessor Wong has also held senior staff positions in the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank\, and worked extensively with other international agencies including the IMF\, OECD\, UNDP\, UNICEF\, and the UK Department for International Development.

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: The 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture:\nThe 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party: a Quantitative Assessment\nVictor Shih\, University of California San Diego\nTuesday\, 06.06.2017\, 18:00 – 19:30\, VG 2.104\n \nCo-organizer: Department for Political Science \n \nAbstract:\nTwo important questions that can be asked about the 19th Party Congress\, scheduled to take place in the fall of 2017\, include who will take over key positions at the top of the party hierarchy and whether Party Secretary General Xi Jinping can dominate the upper echelons of the Communist Party.  Drawing from a quantitative biographical database of over 4000 Chinese political elite\, I first attempt to present some theoretical and machine learning predictions about who will enter the Politburo in the fall of 2017.  Then\, using the same data\, I assess whether Xi Jinping already dominates the Chinese Communist Party\, or whether that is still a goal he needs to achieve in the fall congress.\n\nAbout the lecturer:\nVictor Shih is an associate professor of political economy and has published widely on the politics of Chinese banking policies\, fiscal policies and exchange rates. He was the first analyst to identify the risk of massive local government debt\, and is the author of “Factions and Finance in China: Elite Conflict and Inflation.”\nPrior to joining UC San Diego\, Shih was a professor of political science at Northwestern University and former principal for The Carlyle Group.\nShih is currently engaged in a study of how the coalition-formation strategies of founding leaders had a profound impact on the evolution of the Chinese Communist Party. He is also constructing a large database on biographical information of elites in China.\n  \n  \nImage: neiljs\, Tiananmen Square Beijing\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/5TfkQz \n  \n

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Nation and Ethnicity: Chinese Discourses on History\, Historiography\, and Nationalism (1900s-1920s)
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch\nNation and Ethnicity: Chinese Discourses on History\, Historiography\, and Nationalism (1900s-1920s) \nTuesday\, 02.05.2017\,18:00 – 19:30\, KWZ 0.701\nJulia C. Schneider\, University of Göttingen\n\nIn Nation and Ethnicity: Chinese Discourses on History\, Historiography\, and Nationalism (1900s-1920s) Julia C. Schneider gives an analysis of nationalist and historiographical discourses among late imperial and early republican Chinese thinkers. In particular\, she researches their approaches towards non-Chinese people within the Qing Empire and the question on how to integrate them into a Chinese nation-state. \nNon-Chinese people\, mainly Manchus\, Mongols\, Tibetans\, and Turkic Muslims\, (Uyghurs)\, have not been considered as important factors in the history of early Chinese nationalism so far. But Chinese nationalist and historiographical discourses tell not only a lot about the Chinese image of the Other\, but also shed new light on the images of the Chinese Self and its assumed ability to assimilate and integrate other ethnicities. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The 11th East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 11th East Asia Research Salon\nBullets coated with sugar: Anticorruption and moralising in the Chinese Communist Party\nWednesday\, February 1st\, 16:00 – 17:30\, KWZ 0.701\nCarolin Kautz\, MA\, Assistant Professor\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nCommentators:\nDr. Armin Müller\, Department of East Asian Studies\nProf. Dr. Tobias Lenz\, Department of Political Science \n \nIntroduction:\nIn late 2016 in the context of Xi Jinping’s anticorruption campaign\, the CCTV published a TV series entitled “Always on the Road” (Yongyuan zai lushang永远在路上) that is portraying the ongoing fight of the Chinese Communist Party against corruption and for the progress of society. Among others\, it features prominent CCP cadres having been sentenced for corrupt activities and making self-confessions in front of the camera with former deputy party secretary of Sichuan Province\, Li Chunchen\, tearfully apologising to the party and the people for his offences. This TV series is to be seen within the broader political context of a large-scale anticorruption campaign that has taken down cadres for a multitude of breaches of discipline. This research project aims to see anticorruption and discipline enforcement in the CCP from a significantly enlarged angle and more broadly asks how the Communist Party tries to enforce upon its members its far-reaching discipline standards that also cover very private behaviour.\nFor this goal\, official government publications and newspaper reporting during anticorruption and party rectification campaigns are analysed. It is hypothetically argued that two main tools are used as means of discipline enforcement\, similar to the principle of carrots and sticks\, with one tool being the referral to punitive measures and the other one the attempt to create an elitist sense of belonging and commitment of its members to the party. For this argument\, Benedict Anderson’s model of ‘imagined communities’ is planned to be borrowed and adapted to analyse how the CCP aims to form a disciplined\, coherent and committed cadre corps able to cope with the various challenges the CCP has been facing throughout its history of a revolutionary and later ruling party. \nCarolin Kautz studied sinology and political science in Göttingen and at the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) and in 2015 received her MA from the University of Göttingen. Since October 2015\, she works as an assistant professor at the Department of East Asian Studies in Göttingen and has begun a research project on corruption in China. Her research interests include the Chinese Communist Party\, ideological debates and the legitimacy of political rule as well as challenges to it.

All the autobiographies constitute an inner space of collective memory. The space has its own structure which I want to illustrate with four relationships: Jewish Refugees’ relationships with Germany/Austria\, relationships with China/Japan\, relationships within Refugees and family relationships. The space gets its dynamics by alternation of inclusion and exclusion\, remembering and forgetting. The space has its function as a producer of identity. \nAbout the lecturer:\nMs.Xiaoqian Gao is an Associate Professor of the School of Foreign Language at Shanghai Institute of Technology. She specializes in English and American Literature\, particularly on Victorian Literature; Comparative Literature and Culture Studies. She is currently working on her dissertation at Fudan University on the Autobiographies of Shanghai Jewish Refugees from Central Europe.

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: Was Buddha a Muslim? Ottoman Turkish Reflexions on Japan
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture: \nWas Buddha a Muslim? Ottoman Turkish Reflexions on Japan\nTuesday\, Jan. 17\, 2017\, 6 pm (c.t.) – 8 pm\, KWZ 2.601 \nDr. Katja Triplett \nCeMEAS\, University of Göttingen \nIn studies on relations between Japan and Turkey\, the topic of ‘religion’ has been mainly addressed in light of Islamic missionary activities and the role of Ottoman Turkish proselytizers in Japan. Recent studies have also highlighted the ways in which Japan served as a model for Ottomans in attaining “non-Western” modernity. \nHowever\, how Ottoman and republican Turkish intellectuals reflected about Japanese religions and spiritual practices has been not been studied yet in much detail\, despite the fact that a great variety of texts attests to the deep interest for these topics. Writers from Turkey who engaged with various forms of Japanese spirituality relied in their analyses often on sources in Western languages. The presentation will examine the originality of their interpretations and explore first-hand observations\, such as a visit to a Buddhist temple in Tokyo\, by Ottomans in early twentieth century Japan. \nAbout the lecturer:\nKatja Triplett holds a doctorate in the Study of Religions\, Japanese Linguistics and Anthropology from Marburg University\, and is currently affiliated at CeMEAS. From 2012 – 2016 she was professor for the Study of Religions at the Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen. Currently she is a lecturer in the Study of Religions at the Study of Religions Unit\, Institute for Theology and the Study of Religions\, Leibniz University Hannover.\nHer current research projects are Japanese Buddhist medicine (500-1600 CE) and religious ideas and aesthetics from Japan in the late Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey. \n

SUMMARY:The 10th East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 10th East Asia Research Salon\nElena C. Lichtenthaler\nHungry China – How to explain China’s changing international food policy\nDecember 6th\, 2016\, 5 pm-7 pm\nKWZ\, Conference Room 0.701\, Heinrich- Düker- Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen \nAbstract:\nEver tried to buy milk powder at a German drug store? There is a good possibility that you found empty shelves and signs with announcements like “only three packets per person”.\nThe reason for that is an increasing import trade between Chinese living in Germany and their relatives\, neighbors or friends in the People’s Republic of China who are looking for safe milk products to nourish their babies. What looks like an individual aspect of globalization\, is actually the tip of the iceberg of an increasing internationalization of Chinese food policy.\nChinese imports of land-intensive products such as soy bean and rice have been rising\, reaching new heights in 2015. Chinese companies increasingly invest in international agribusinesses such as the Swiss company Syngenta. Chinese investors are lending large areas of land in Africa and South-America and food purchase on cross-border e-commerce platforms is booming. China is continuously integrating more in the global market of food and agriculture. In the course of my PhD\, I am analyzing how politically coordinated these processes are and which institutional principles they follow. \nElena Lichtenthaler is a PhD student at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen working on China’s international food policy. She is also a policy fellow at the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) in Berlin\, where she previously worked as research associate. Elena Lichtenthaler studied sinology\, economics\, art history and German linguistics at the University of Freiburg and Beijing University. \nImage by: olly301\, Rice field\, CC BY-SA 2.0\, https://www.flickr.com/photos/olly301/4961009827/ \n
