SUMMARY:Lecture: Should Children be Carefree? A Chinese and Global Debate
DESCRIPTION:Should Children be Carefree? A Chinese and Global Debate\nProf. Hsiung Ping-Chen (Secretary General\, CIPSH)\n  \nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21\n 6. May (Tuesday)\, 18:15-19:45\nAbstract:  \nRecognized as signs of modernity\, children\, free roaming\, have been referred to as a best representatives for a progressive society.  Historically in China\, however\, as early as the Song Dynasty\, unique attention to children at play in arts and children’s health in traditional pediatrics prevailed\, as Neo-Confucian philosophers continued to debate whether they ought to be left carefree. Illustrated with Chinese paintings and medical texts\, this lecture will trace a thousand years of ebbs and flows of such concerns and interests on the nature of childhood. To reflect also on a contention and obsession with how to lessen burdens for today’s schoolers too\, in creating a child friendly environment that connects contemporary China with the rest of the world. The talk intends to offer a public occasion to argue and deliberate on this never-ending tug of war over whether or how children should be set free. \nSpeaker: \nProfessor Hsiung Ping-chen is a distinguished scholar and academic leader in the humanities\, with a multifaceted career across renowned international institutions. She holds a PhD in History from Brown University and an MSc from the Harvard School of Public Health. Her research spans childhood studies\, gender and family history\, and health humanities\, with a particular focus on Late Imperial and Modern China. She also engages with comparative cultural and social history\, public health\, and the intellectual history of Russia. Professor Hsiung has published extensively on the history of Chinese pediatrics\, the cultural memory of childhood\, and the evolution of health practices in Chinese society. Since 2020\, Professor Hsiung has served as Secretary-General of the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH)\, and she was re-elected to this position in 2023. Among other academic distinctions\, she also holds the UNESCO Co-Chair in “Global Asia” at McGill University and the CIPSH Chair in “New Humanities” at the University of California\, Irvine. She is also the founder of the Asian New Humanities Network and has held key leadership positions at institutions such as the Chinese University of Hong Kong\, where she served as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Director of the Research Institute for the Humanities. \n  \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen \n  \n\n© This image was generated with the assistance of OpenAI’s Chat GPT and is intended solely for promotional use.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Journey to the East (and Back): China and “Western Esotericism” from Reception History to Global Religious Studies
DESCRIPTION:Journey to the East (and Back): China and “Western Esotericism” from Reception History to Global Religious Studies\nDavide Marino (University of Erlangen-Nürnberg)\n\n  \nDate: May 8\, 2025\nTime: 18:00 – 19:30\nPlace: KWZ 0.603  \nAbstract: \nThis presentation examines the intricate and multifaceted relationship between Chinese spiritual culture(s) and the field of “Western Esotericism.” For centuries\, the East\, and particularly China\, was regarded by Europeans as a repository of superior spiritual knowledge\, a realm of profound wisdom that seemed inaccessible to the West. This perception of the East as a mystical and enigmatic source of ancient wisdom persisted across various periods of European intellectual history\, with China holding a particularly prominent place in Western imagination. Beginning in the early modern period\, and reaching its peak during the colonial era\, Western thinkers found abundant inspiration in Chinese religions\, philosophies\, and cultural practices and these elements were integrated into the evolving spiritual and philosophical discourses of the time\, ultimately becoming essential components of the eclectic mix of ideas now known as “Western Esotericism.” China was not simply “received” or passively absorbed into Western thought; rather\, various Chinese intellectuals\, spiritual leaders\, and cultural movements became active participants in a global esoteric discourse that transcended geographical boundaries and facilitated the exchange of ideas. This dynamic of intellectual and spiritual exchange is even more pronounced in contemporary times. While in “the West\,” Chinese cultural elements such as Chinese medicine\, the Daodejing\, and the notion of qi have become widely embraced as staples of global post-confessional spirituality\, “Western Esotericism” is increasingly being discussed\, reinterpreted\, and adapted in the People’s Republic\, both in commercial contexts and within academic discourse. This growing interest reflects a reciprocal flow of ideas that continues to shape global spiritual trends. Although often overlooked by Western scholars\, Chinese perspectives on “Western Esotericism” present a challenge to traditional diffusionist models\, which tend to view the flow of ideas as a one-way process. Instead\, these Chinese perspectives reveal a more complex and circular flow of ideas\, which calls into question the conventional notion of one-way reception (whether “from East to West” or “from West to East”). China did not merely provide raw material for Western thinkers to appropriate and adapt for their own purposes; rather\, Chinese cultural and spiritual traditions actively shaped and influenced the trajectory of global discourses on esotericism. Likewise\, contemporary Chinese discourses on “Western Esotericism” are increasingly framed around both domestic issues—such as the role and necessity of regulating religion in Chinese society—and international debates on religion\, science\, and public health. Thus\, this presentation advocates for a global and interdisciplinary approach to the study of esotericism—one that recognizes the entangled and reciprocal histories of “China” and “the West\,” and acknowledges their shared responsibility in shaping the development of modern and postmodern alternative religious trajectories. \nDavide Marino\, PhD \nDavide Marino specializes in the interplay between East Asian religions\, particularly Chinese\, and European Esotericism\, with a focus on Traditionalism. His Ph.D. thesis\, which received the CUHK Young Scholars Thesis Award in 2023\, examined the influence of Chinese and Vietnamese religious concepts on the works of Albert de Pouvourville and René Guénon. More recently\, he has been investigating the intersection of politics and esotericism in both China and Europe. \nOrganizers:\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\nCentre for Modern East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nImage: Image: Gauthier Delecroix\, Spirituality   CC BY 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/MxGNDj

SUMMARY:Lecture: Towards a New World Order: Reading Zhao Tingyang’s Tianxia in Light of the Japanese Experience
DESCRIPTION:Towards a New World Order: Reading Zhao Tingyang’s Tianxia in Light of the Japanese Experience\n \n\n\n\n\n Prof. Viren Murthy (University of Wisconsin-Madison)\n\n\n\nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21\n\n\n \n\n\n13. May (Tuesday)\, 18:15–19:45\n\n\n\nAbstract: \nToday in the midst of a global pandemic\, we are constantly confronted with the inability of national governments to create the conditions for human flourishing.   In this context\, the recent attempts from Chinese Confucianists to envision a new world order could point the way to a more sustainable future.  This global gesture in recent Confucian theory overlaps with recent trends in Marxism. For example\, Jacques Bidet has written of an incipient world-state (état-monde)\, which could potentially go against the capitalist world order.  From its inception\, Marxism has been interested in a global movement to overcome capitalism.   But tianxia theorists seem to proceed from the opposite direction of Marxism.   Put simply\, while Marxists explain philosophical theories by relating them to social and historical structures\, Confucian tianxia theorists proceed from philosophy to history and politics.  Recently\, Marxists have questioned the Confucian tianxia approach and contend that such theories are merely an ideology to legitimate Chinese capitalism and the imperialist tendency of the contemporary Chinese government. In response to such criticisms\, I attempt to synthesize Marxism and tianxia theory by focusing on the contemporary Chinese thinker\, Zhao Tingyang.  With respect to imperialism\, one of the key issues concerns how Zhao envisions the unity of a world as encompassing the many\, without negating their particularity.   I deal with this ideal philosophically\, making comparisons to Hegel’s conception and also to thinkers in interwar Japan\, which was imperialist.  I claim that Zhang can avoid the pitfall of the Japanese path\, only if he places the problems of capitalism at the center of his theory.  In short\, one will not be able to achieve a non-imperialist global unity that respects multiplicity without overcoming global capitalism. \n\n\n \n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\nMy work probes the historical conditions for the possibility of philosophy and politics in the modern world and in East Asia in particular. I am generally interested in the attempts of East Asian intellectuals to resist modernity through reviving premodern philosophies and religions\, such as Buddhism. My first book\, The Political Philosophy of Zhang Taiyan: The Resistance of Consciousness\, shows how in early 20th century China\, Zhang Taiyan\, drew on Consciousness-Only (Yogācāra) Buddhism to formulate a theory of revolution. In particular\, the book explains how this seemingly ancient body of knowledge is reformulated as China was incorporated into the global capitalist system of nation-states. \n \nIn June 2022\, I published The Politics of Time in China and Japan: Back to the Future (Routledge)\, which is a collection of essays that explore how Chinese and Japanese intellectuals mobilize traditional texts to create a better future. They produce what I call “back to the future” narratives\, in which they conjure the past to envision a world beyond global capitalism. These narratives are nationalistic but unlike in England and the United States\, this nationalism is connected to anti-imperialism and resistance to global inequality. I suggest that such inequality also divides Europe\, which enables comparisons between Germany and Asian nations\, all of whom saw themselves as being marginalized. \n \nMy third monograph Pan-Asianism and Legacy of the Chinese Revolution (University of Chicago Press\, 2023) shows how intellectuals in China and Japan promoted unity among weak Asian nations to resist Western domination. To promote such unity\, pan-Asianists struggled against Eurocentric visions of history articulated by philosophers such as Hegel\, who argued that the Orient had to follow the West. At the same time\, these thinkers appropriated Hegel’s criticisms of abstract individualism. I contend that Japanese and Chinese pan-Asianists drew on elements of both Asian and Western culture to posit a world beyond narrow self-interest\, capitalism\, and imperialism. The legacy of pan-Asianism is complex given that Japan employed this ideology to promote imperialism. Consequently\, postwar Japanese pan-Asianists had to confront the problem of war memory. Postwar pan-Asianists tried to show that a healthy transnationalism was both possible and necessary to struggle against Western imperialism. \n \nMy present project concerns how East Asian intellectuals drew on G.W.F Hegel to uncover logics to Chinese and Japanese history\, which culminate in a new world order inspired by their respective cultures. In addition to the above projects connected to East Asia\, I am also involved in a project on South Indian Classical Music and Tamil Identity\, which also explores issues of how traditions have been reconstituted by capitalist modernity. I have also been interested in how Marxists in (primarily in the North Atlantic) have drawn on Jewish Messianism to confront capitalist modernity.\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nImage Disclaimer: \nThis promotional poster was generated using OpenAI’s ChatGPT (DALL·E) for non-commercial academic purposes.

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Great Transformation of International Order and the Future of Chinese Economy
DESCRIPTION:The Great Transformation of International Order and the Future of Chinese Economy\n  \nProf. Gao Bai (Duke University) \n  \nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21 \n 27. May (Tuesday)\, 18:15-19:45 \n  \nAbstract:  \nThe international order established after World War II is currently experiencing a profound transformation.  Many Chinese use 百年未有之大变局 （major changes unseen in a century）to describe the current situation. \n What are the driving forces behind this great transformation? \nIn his newly published book titled 《把脉：全球巨变与中国经济》（Taking A Pulse：Global Transformation and the Chinese economy）\, Bai Gao uses three long cycles of history\, which include the pendulum movement of globalization\, the cycle of hegemonic expansions\, and technological revolution\, to explain the drastic changes occurring in the international economic order and their profound impacts on the Chinese economy. \nBai Gao demonstrates that since China’s reform and opening up\, the dynamics of development of the Chinese economy have changed twice\, first to the world factory model focusing on external circulation by promoting export\, and then shifted to a supply-side demand model emphasizing internal circulation sustained by government spending in infrastructure construction and private investment in real estate. With low birth rate and ageing population and mounting debts of local governments\, these old strategies can no longer sustain economic growth.  Bai Gao predicts a new model for the Chinese economy in the 21st century: 休养生息（rest and recuperate）by developing strong social protection programs\, and 强筋壮骨 （strengthen muscles and bones）by upgrading industries and developing international competitiveness. \nSpeaker: \nGao Bai is a lifelong professor of sociology at Duke University. Professor Gao Bai graduated from Peking University in the 1980s and received a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. In 1994\, he graduated from the Department of Sociology of Princeton University and received a doctorate in sociology. \nProfessor Gao Bai’s main research fields include economics and society\, comparative history sociology\, organizational theory\, comparative political economy\, international political economy and globalization. \nProfessor Gao Bai has been teaching at Duke University since graduation; has been a visiting scholar at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Tokyo\, the Department of Economics of the University of One Bridge\, the School of International Business and Law of Yokohama National University\, the Tokyo University of Economics and the Max Planck Institute of Social Studies in Cologne\, Germany; has been a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo\, Meiji University and Jacob University in Bremen\, Germany\, as a self-strengthening professor at the University of Shanghai and a lecture professor at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics; and has been the director and chief expert of the China High Speed Railway Development Strategy Research Center at Southwest Jiaotong University since June 2014. \nOrganizer:  \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Gab es außereuropäische Kolonialreiche?  Theoretisch-konzeptuelle Überlegungen am Beispiel des Qingreichs (1636-1912)
DESCRIPTION:Gab es außereuropäische Kolonialreiche? Theoretisch-konzeptuelle Überlegungen am Beispiel des Qingreichs (1636-1912)\n  \nZeit: 16.00-17:30\, 2. Juni 2025 \nOrt: KWZ 0.607\, Göttingen \nVortrag: Julia C. Schneider \n  \nAbstract \nSeit etwas mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten findet man in der historischen Forschung vermehrt die Konzeptualisierung des Qingreichs und anderer außereuropäischer Reiche wie des osmanischen und des russischen Reichs als Kolonialreiche. Parallel zu den europäischen imperialistischen Kolonialreichen und -staaten der frühen Neuzeit\, so die These\, hätten sie in eroberten Gebieten koloniale Projekte durchgeführt und Siedlungskolonialismus unterstützt. \nIn meinem Vortrag stelle ich diese These auf den Prüfstand\, indem ich am Fall der manjurischen Qingdynastie zeige\, warum der Begriff Kolonialreich und verwandte Begriffe in den Empire studies verwendet werden\, was ihre Verwendung mit Postkolonialismus zu tun hat und warum sie aus meiner Sicht letztlich unzutreffend sind. \n  \nCV: Julia C. Schneider ist Professorin für Sinologie an der Universität Hamburg. Von 2019 bis 2024 war sie Lecturer bzw. Senior Lecturer für chinesische Geschichte am University College Cork (Irland). Nach einem Magister in klassischer Sinologie (Heidelberg) hat sie an den Universitäten Gent und Göttingen in Sinologie promoviert (Cotutelle). \nJulia C. Schneider befasst sich vor allem mit Ideengeschichte. Ihr inhaltlicher Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf chinesischen Diskurses zu nicht-chinesischen Gesellschaften bezüglich Nationalismus\, Historiographie und Zensur\, ihr zeitlicher Fokus auf der späten Kaiser- und Republikzeit sowie den Ming- und Qingdynastien. Darüberhinaus hat sie ein Interesse für die Manjuristik. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Guerrilla Practice and the Cultural Conjury of Cooperation in Wartime China\, 1937-1945
DESCRIPTION:Guerrilla Practice and the Cultural Conjury of Cooperation in Wartime China\, 1937-1945\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n  \n  \nDr. Harlan Chambers (University of Göttingen)  \nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21 \n3. June (Tuesday)\, 18:15-19:45 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nAbstract:  \nWithin the long\, global history of modern guerrilla warfare and related practices of “small wars\,” revolutionaries and scholars alike have regarded Mao Zedong’s texts on guerrilla war as formative to post WWII liberation struggles. In this talk\, I will argue that beyond Mao’s famous texts on military strategy\, the “guerrilla” as it was developed in China’s War to Resist Japan articulated a cultural and philosophical project to forge a new logic of political-economic development. Progressive thinkers and creative writers working amongst guerrilla zones narrated “guerrilla practices” as those of cooperative construction\, a non-exploitive form of economic organization that rejected the extractive economics of fascism that were engendered by Japanese invasion and Nationalist hegemony. \n         First\, I will examine how Chinese thinkers staged and debated the guerrilla in 1930s China\, particularly in light of Italy’s invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia). By analyzing international developments\, progressive thinkers not only formulated the guerrilla as a project of social reconstruction but interrogated it as a philosophical problem for thinking world history. The second part builds upon these formulations of the guerrilla to understand the particular “guerrilla practices” of the late 1930s\, which extend beyond Mao’s famous military tactics to encompass forms of cooperative economic construction in the base areas of northern China. I show that\, by the early 1940s\, guerrilla zones’ economic practices also integrated culture workers as essential for developing their particular forms of cooperative labor. Considering several cultural creations from these guerrilla zones\, particularly around the Jin-Cha-Ji base area\, I will argue that cultural works conjured a new logic of cooperatively organized economic production\, formative to the guerrilla project. \nSpeaker: \nHarlan Chambers completed his Ph.D. in Modern Chinese Literature and Culture at Columbia University in 2022 and served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Illinois Wesleyan University before joining the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Göttingen in 2024. As an interdisciplinary scholar of Chinese culture and history\, as well as feminist and critical theory\, his research interrogates the role of cultural practices in processes of social transformation\, integrating archival research with analyses of cultural texts. Harlan is part of a research team exploring the history of conceptions of world order at the University of Göttingen. \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen \n  \n\n \n\nImage Disclaimer: \nThis promotional poster was generated using OpenAI’s ChatGPT (DALL·E) for non-commercial academic purposes.

SUMMARY:GCC#41 Zeitenwendezeiten: Welche China-Politik sollte die neue Bundesregierung verfolgen?
DESCRIPTION:Info für GCC#41\nZeitenwendezeiten: Welche China-Politik sollte die neue Bundesregierung verfolgen?\nDie neue Bundesregierung steht vor der Aufgabe\, ihre China-Politik strategisch neu auszurichten – inmitten globaler Machtverschiebungen\, wachsender Systemrivalität und ökonomischer Interdependenz. Vor dem Hintergrund sicherheits-\, handels- und wertepolitischer Spannungsfelder stellt sich die Frage\, welche Rolle China künftig in der deutschen Außenwirtschaftspolitik spielen soll – und welche politischen Instrumente dafür angemessen sind. Dabei gilt es\, die Balance zwischen wirtschaftlicher Zusammenarbeit und geopolitischer Resilienz neu zu definieren. Wie können deutsche Interessen in einer zunehmend multipolaren Weltordnung gewahrt werden\, ohne bestehende Abhängigkeiten zu verstärken? Welche Rolle spielt die europäische China-Politik in diesem Kontext – und wie kann ein strategischer Umgang mit Risiken gestaltet werden\, ohne Chancen auf Kooperation zu verspielen? Welche Auswirkungen haben diese Überlegungen auf zentrale Politikfelder wie Handel\, Technologie\, Klimaschutz und Menschenrechte? \n  \n am 05.06.2025\, 11-12 Uhr [Auf Deutsch] \nOrt: Online auf Zoom – Registrierung \n  \nProgramm \nDie Veranstaltung besteht aus Impulsvorträgen der Sprechenden gefolgt von einer Diskussion. \nDie Global China Conversation #41 wird auf Deutsch abgehalten. \n  \nSprechende \n \nBernd Lange \nBernd Lange (1955\, Oldenburg\, Deutschland) ist der Vorsitzende des INTA-Ausschusses.

Bevor er sein erstes Mandat im Europäischen Parlament antrat\, arbeitete er elf Jahre lang als Lehrer. Er ist Mitglied der Sozialdemokratischen Partei Deutschlands und Mitglied der IG Metall. Lange hat zwei Kinder und lebt in der Region Hannover. In Würdigung seiner politischen Arbeit erhielt er 2001 das Bundesverdienstkreuz. Der Vorsitzende Lange setzt sich für eine Handelspolitik ein\, die sich an universellen Werten orientiert und die Interessen aller Menschen und die Nachhaltigkeit in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Seiner Ansicht nach sollte der Handel als Instrument zur Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen der Menschen eingesetzt werden. Er ist ein überzeugter Multilateralist und eine der treibenden Kräfte hinter der stärkeren Betonung von Arbeits- und Klimafragen in Handelsabkommen. Darüber hinaus ist er ein Verfechter von Nachhaltigkeitsgesetzen und setzt sich dafür ein\, dass diese durchführbar sind und partnerschaftlich erarbeitet werden. \nFoto: Fotograf: Waldemar Salesski \n  \n  \n \nJürgen Matthes \nJürgen Matthes ist Leiter des Kompetenzfelds Internationale Wirtschaftsordnung und Konjunktur am Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft Köln.

SUMMARY:Lecture: ‘Contesting the Liberal Script? The AIIB and World Bank in Development Finance.’
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: ‘Contesting the Liberal Script? The AIIB and World Bank in Development Finance.’\nDate: 11.06.2025\nTime: 13:00 – 14:00\nPlace: Raum 1.110 THEO\n \nSoo Yeon Kim\nAssociate Professor\, Pacific Affairs School of Public Policy and Global Affairs\, University of British Columbia \nSoo Yeon Kim \n\n\n\nAbstract: Does the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)\, formed through China’s initiative\, contest the liberal script on development finance led by existing international financial institutions?  This paper engages the important debate on the shape and trajectory of the liberal international order where China is increasingly playing a prominent role. The research problem focuses on how the AIIB conducts development finance and to whether they are aligned with the US-led World Bank. The analysis utilizes quantitative text analysis to examine project documents from the AIIB and World Bank\, leveraging the rich textual dimension of their funding activities. The paper advances the argument that the AIIB’s funding priorities align with those of the World Bank\, due to overlapping mandates\, many co-financed projects\, and China’s motivation for leading the formation of the AIIB. The analysis finds that the AIIB does not contest and is largely aligned with the liberal script of development finance in its funded projects. Project documents indicate overlap in how the AIIB and World Bank conduct lending and prioritize development objectives\, including the application of equivalent environmental and social frameworks. The findings also indicate an emerging of a division of labor between the AIIB and World Bank. AIIB funding favors infrastructure projects that enhance connectivity in the transport and energy sectors\, while World Bank funding emphasizes education\, social policy\, and other areas related to human development. The AIIB may well be expanding the “liberal script” of development finance\, one that is tailored to the infrastructural needs of the Asian region.\n\n\nOrganizers:\nCentre for Modern East Asian Studies (CeMEAS)\, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen\, Germany\, http://www.cemeas.de\n.\nChair of International Relations\, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen\,Platz der Göttinger Sieben 3\, 37073 Göttingen\, Germany\, Prof. Anja Jetschke https://lehrstuhlib.uni-goettingen.de\n.\nChair of Development Economics\, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen\, Platz der Göttinger Sieben 3\, 37073 Göttingen\, Germany\, Prof. Andreas Fuchs https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/614556.h

SUMMARY:Lecture: From Theory to Practice: Enhancing Inclusive L2 Chinese Language Teaching at U.S. Universities through Multimedia Pedagogy
DESCRIPTION:From Theory to Practice: Enhancing Inclusive L2 Chinese Language Teaching at U.S. Universities through Multimedia Pedagogy\n  \nTime: 16:00-17:30\, 25.06.2025 \nPlace: KWZ 3.601 \nLanguage: \n\nTalk: Chinese\nHandout: English & Chinese\nQ&A: Bilingual (English / Chinese)\n\nSpeaker: \nDr. Yongli Li \nHeinrich Heine University Düsseldorf / College of the Holy Cross (USA) \n  \nOver the past two decades\, shifting geopolitics\, rapid technological advancements\, and growing scholarship on decolonialization in applied linguistics have challenged conventional language teaching pedagogies within higher education. Transforming an inclusive\, culturally sustaining\, and long-term motivating pedagogy has become the center of recent scholarship. Inclusiveness in L2 language classrooms in higher education means respecting linguistically and culturally diverse students\, and creating curricula and pedagogies that promote equity and raise awareness of social justice in classroom. What are the multifaceted dimensions of inclusiveness in Chinese language teaching in higher education? How can we enhance inclusive excellence when teaching diverse learners through task-based language learning and the strategic use of multimedia? In this talk\, I will discuss recent English-language scholarship on inclusiveness in language teaching and reflect on my experiences teaching Chinese at the university level in the U.S. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session featuring discussions on classroom task design and sharing of teaching experiences in Europe and the U.S. \n  \n讲座题目:美国大学中文二语课堂中的包容性教学与多媒体应用 \n过去二十年中，全球地缘政治的变化、数字媒体和人工智能技术的日新月异，以及应用语言学领域中去殖民化研究的不断深入，都对高等教育中传统的语言教学法提出了挑战。如何对现有的二语教学法进行革新，使其成为更具有包容性、文化持续性和长期激励性的教学法已成为近年来学术研究的重点之一。高等教育二语教学课堂的包容性教学，不仅意味着尊重语言及文化背景多元化的学生，创建具有平等性的课堂，更意指在教学大纲和课堂活动设计中激发批判性多元文化主义的思考及提高学生社会正义意识的实践。此次讲座中，将首先讨论近期英文文献中关于中文二语教学包容性的学术研究成果，并以美国大学中文二语教学课堂实践为例，探讨教学中的包容性概念，并着重分享多媒体在二语教学中的应用及其对促进包容性教学的作用。 \n  \nShort bio Yongli Li is Assistant Professor of Chinese Studies in the Department of World Languages\, Literatures\, and Cultures at College of the Holy Cross in the U.S. She specializes in Chinese film history\, urban cinema and media industry. She has published in academic journals\, including Transnational Screens\, Global Storytelling: Journal of Digital and Moving Images\, Chinese Literature Today. In addition to her reseaerch on Chinese media\, she has taught Chinese language courses at universities in California\, New York and Massachusetts. During the 2024-2025 academic year\, she also holds a visiting assistant professor position at the Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf. \n  \n  \n️ \n️ This lecture is part of the Chinese-Language Film Weeks 2025.

Mit neuen Mitgliedern wie Ägypten\, Äthiopien und Saudi-Arabien gewinnt das Bündnis an strategischer Breite. Im Zentrum steht die Frage: Kann BRICS+ zur Plattform einer multipolaren Weltordnung werden – und wie weit reicht dabei Chinas Führungsanspruch? \nAls wirtschaftliches Schwergewicht und politischer Taktgeber prägt China zunehmend die Agenda von BRICS+: sei es beim Vorantreiben von Abkopplung vom US-Dollar\, dem Ausbau alternativer Finanzinstitutionen oder der Positionierung im globalen Süden. Doch wie stabil ist dieses Bündnis – und wie sehr dominiert China wirklich? \nIn dieser Ausgabe der Global China Conversations fragen wir\, ob BRICS+ mit Chinas aktiver Rolle zum Motor eines neuen globalen Wirtschaftssystems werden kann oder ob wirtschaftliche Ungleichgewichte und politische Differenzen innerhalb des Bündnisses die Ambitionen ausbremsen. \n  \nProgramm \nDie Veranstaltung besteht aus Impulsvorträgen der Sprechenden gefolgt von einer Diskussion. \nDie Global China Conversation #42 wird auf Deutsch abgehalten. \n  \nSprechende \n \nSamina Sultan \nDr. Samina Sultan ist seit August 2022 Senior Economist für europäische Wirtschaftspolitik und Außenhandel beim Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft.

SUMMARY:Chinesischsprachige Filmwochen Göttingen 2025: Pickpocket 小武
DESCRIPTION:Pickpocket 《小武》        26. 06. 2025\, 19:30\, Kino Lumière Göttingen\nMand. m. engl. UT\, 108 Minuten\, Referentin: Katja Pessl (Universität Göttingen)\n \nEintritt frei\, Ticketreservierung: https://lumiere-melies.de/ \nRegie: Jia Zhangke\nVR China 1997\n108 Minuten \nVon einem armen Agrarstaat zur zweitgrößten Volkswirtschaft der Welt – kaum ein Land hat sich so rasant verändert wie China in den letzten Jahrzehnten. 1997\, mitten in dieser Zeit des Aufbruchs und der Unsicherheit spielt Jia Zhangkes erster Spielfilm. Xiao Wu\, ein Taschendieb in der nordchinesischen Kleinstadt Fenyang\, sieht seine Freunde mit dem wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung neue Wege gehen\, während er selbst immer mehr ins Abseits gerät. Ruhige Bilder\, lange Einstellungen und ein fast dokumentarischer Stil zeichnen das eindringliche Porträt einer Jugend\, die im Strudel der Reformzeit ihre Orientierung verliert. \nXiao Wu ist ein Meilenstein des chinesischen Independent-Kinos und markiert den Auftakt von Jia Zhangkes international gefeiertem Werk.

SUMMARY:Lecture: History on Sale: Unofficial Archive Markets in Contemporary China
DESCRIPTION:History on Sale: Unofficial Archive Markets in Contemporary China \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Yi Lu (Assistant Professor of History\, Dartmouth College)\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n1. July (Tuesday)\, 18:15–19:45\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: \n\n\nFor the past four decades\, the study of contemporary China has been significantly shaped by an informal market in de-accessioned government archives. My research examines how state records have been transformed into both street commodities and scholarly resources\, proposing a theory of knowledge recycling through a material economy lens. In this presentation\, I explore how individuals on the margins of Chinese society\, including waste recyclers\, have repurposed discarded paper ephemera to create a counter-archive of knowledge. From Beijing’s Panjiayuan flea market to online platforms like Kongfuzi.com\, and through various forms of indigenous classification and private museums\, their cultural entrepreneurship has forged connections between a global network of scholars and collectors. This phenomenon has not only reshaped the field of contemporary Chinese history but also raised some unsettling questions about the practice and ethics of knowledge production: Who is a historian? What constitutes an archive? And what happens to history as a field when historians write with what they can buy?\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\n\n\nDr. Yi Lu is a historian of modern China\, with particular interests in the history of information\, material culture\, and digital humanities.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Semi-Governmentalism: The Guild Socialists’ Reform Proposals in the Socialist Debates
DESCRIPTION:Semi-Governmentalism: The Guild Socialists’ Reform Proposals in the Socialist Debates\n  \n  \n  \nZhou Yuefeng (Sichuan University) \nTime: 08 July 2025 (Tuesday)\, 16:00–18:00 \nRoom: VG 2.105 \nLanguage: Chinese \nAbstract: \nOriginating in Britain\, Guild Socialism was one strand of socialist thought that gained popularity in China during the May Fourth period and served as an important intellectual resource for addressing the political situation of the time. Those influenced by it actively participated in the debates on socialism. However\, existing research has largely portrayed them as opponents of Marxism\, emphasizing their non-communist stance while overlooking their broader vision for societal reform. In response to the emerging discourse surrounding the ideas of a “strong government” and a “good government” in the public sphere during the socialist debates\, figures influenced by Guild Socialism—such as Zhang Dongsun\, Lan Gongwu\, Xu Liuji\, and Guo Mengliang—voiced sustained opposition. They not only rejected early communists’ proposals to achieve socialism through a strong state\, but also remained wary of idealized conceptions of an “omnipotent” or “benevolent” government. Instead\, they advocated for a gradual strengthening of social forces and the balance of state power through a combination of occupational and regional self-governance. Their ultimate goal was a “semi-government” or a “dual-government” model—an ideal of minimal government. Yet\, within an era that favored immediate action\, this gradualist\, society-oriented socialism was often dismissed as non-socialist or even anti-socialist. Ironically\, it was the socialism advocating for a strong state that became recognized as the “orthodox” form of socialism. \nBio: Prof. Dr. Zhou Yuefeng holds a Professorship in Chinese History at Sichuan University. He is the author of Alternative New Culture Movement: The Cultural Activities of Liang Qichao’s Circle and the Intellectuals around the May Fourth Movement (Peking University Press\, 2023). He has published articles on Modern Chinese intellectual history in  peer-reviewed journals\, including Historical Research\, Modern Chinese History Studies\, Bulletin of the Institute of Modern History Academia Sinica\, Journal of Tsinghua University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)\, etc. He serves as the vice president of Sun Yat-Sen Research Association and the vice chief director of “Data Platform of Chinese Modern history”. He is also an elected member of the “Centre for the Study of Modern Chinese Thought” at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. \n\n  \n半政府主义：社会主义论战中基尔特主义者的改造构想 \n周月峰（四川大学历史文化学院） \n时间：2025年7月8日（星期二），16:00–18:00 \n地点：VG 2.105 \n语言：中文 \n摘要：起源于英国的基尔特社会主义是社会主义流派之一，曾在五四时期流行于中国，成为时人应对时局的重要思想资源。受其影响者曾深度参与社会主义论战，然而既有研究多将其视为马克思主义的对立者，看到的多是其非共产主义的面相，而忽视他们应对时局的整体构想。面对社会主义论战前后舆论界新兴的“强政府”与“好政府”思潮，当时受基尔特社会主义影响的张东荪、蓝公武、徐六几、郭梦良等人曾有持续反对。他们不仅反对早期共产主义者以“强政府”为手段实现社会主义的主张，在理想国家形态上也警惕“万能政府”、“好政府”的设想，而是希望通过逐渐发展社会力量，以职业自治与区域自治相结合的方式制衡政府，最终实现“半政府”、“两个政府”的小政府理想。然而，在当时倾向立刻行动的时代思潮中，这一倾向“社会”的渐进式社会主义，被视为了非社会主义或反社会主义，反而是主张“强政府”的社会主义，成了社会主义的“正统”。 \n简介：周月峰教授现任四川大学中国历史教授，著有《另一场新文化运动：五四前后“梁启超系”再造新文明的努力》（北京大学出版社，2023）。他在《历史研究》、《近代史研究》、《中央研究院近代史研究所集刊》、《清华大学学报（哲学社会科学版）》等同行评审期刊发表多篇关于中国近代思想史的学术论文。现任孙中山研究会副会长、“中国近代史数据平台”副主任，同时也是中国社会科学院“近代中国思想研究中心”特邀研究员。 \n

SUMMARY: Lecture: A Multispecies Conquest of Zomia: The British Raj\, the Elephant Paths\, and the Panthay Mule Caravans in the Chin-Lushai Hills 
DESCRIPTION: A Multispecies Conquest of Zomia: The British Raj\, the Elephant Paths\, and the Panthay Mule Caravans in the Chin-Lushai Hills \n\n\nProf. Cao Yin (Peking University) \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n8. July (Tuesday)\, 18:15–19:45\n\n\n\n\nAbstract:\n\n\nSince the 1850s\, the British Raj sought to control the Chin-Lushai Hills\, which lie between India and Burma. However\, the region’s harsh terrain and climate rendered British occupation nearly impossible. The encounter between the colonial authorities\, wild elephants\, and the Panthay mule caravans marked a turning point. By following wild elephant migratory corridors and relying on the infrastructures of the Panthay mule caravans\, the Raj overcame the logistical challenges that had previously hindered its efforts. This study argues that the non-Western knowledge upon which the British relied for their conquest of the hills in northeastern India and northern Burma was not purely locally rooted or indigenous. Rather\, it had been shaped through the mobilities of migratory elephants and itinerant Panthay traders\, who developed their understandings of the region through movement and translocal engagements. The British annexation of the Chin-Lushai Hills thus represents only one chapter in a longer\, multispecies history of conquest and entanglement in this frontier zone.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\n\n\n\nCao Yin is an associate professor in the department of history at Peking University. He is a scholar of modern South Asian history\, global history\, and India-China relations. He is the author of Chinese Sojourners in Wartime Raj\, 1942-45 (Oxford University Press\, 2022) and From Policemen to Revolutionaries: A Sikh Diaspora in Global Shanghai\, 1885-1945 (Brill\, 2017). He is a recipient of the Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers affiliated with the University of Göttingen. While in Göttingen\, he is developing a book manuscript that explores the more-than-human dimensions of colonial expansion across the India-Burma-China borderlands in the 19th century. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:China in the Global Economy - 2nd Kiel-Göttingen-CEPR Conference
DESCRIPTION:China in the Global Economy: 2nd Kiel-Göttingen CEPR Conference\n  \n  \nDate: \n17–18 July 2025 \nVenue: \nLeibniz Association\, Chausseestraße 111\, 10115 Berlin\, Germany \n  \nToday\, China stands as the world’s foremost exporter and a significant global investor. Its global reach is exemplified by initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative spanning over 150 countries. Its state-led economic model and intertwined economic-political strategy differ markedly from Western approaches\, positioning China as a key player in geoeconomics as it leverages economic prowess for strategic objectives. While China and European economies share interests in maintaining the global economic order\, tensions persist over market access\, competition practices\, and strategic industries. Despite China’s pivotal role in transforming the world economy\, academic research has not kept pace with its growing influence and the implications of its economic rise. \nThe second edition of the conference will serve as a nexus for leading scholars delving into China’s multifaceted role in the global economy. By convening in central Berlin\, steps away from the governmental district and main railway station\, the conference also aims to foster dialogue between academic research and policy practice. This unique setting will facilitate exchange between researchers studying China’s economic impact and decision-makers shaping international economic relations. \nWe are honored to welcome two distinguished keynote speakers: Ruixue Jia (University of California San Diego) will speak on Geopolitics and Chinese Education and David Yang (Harvard University) will present on China: Autocracy 2.0. \nOther confirmed speakers include: Stephen Chaudoin (Harvard University)\, Mikko Huotari (MERICS)\, Ernest Liu (Princeton University)\, Heiwai Tang (Asia Global Institute at the University of Hong Kong)\, Nancy Qian (Northwestern University)\, Larry Qiu (LNU)\, Claudia Steinwender (LMU)\, Yifan Zhang (CUHK). \n  \nPreliminary program \n2nd_Kiel-Göttingen-CEPR_China_Conference_Program_2025_Public.pdf \nAndreas Fuchs is grateful for financial support by the VolkswagenStiftung in the framework of the Momentum project “Tapping innovative data sources to analyze the impact of authoritarian states on global development.” \n  \nOrganizers: \n•Andreas Fuchs (University of Göttingen & IfW Kiel) \n•Wan-Hsin Liu (IfW Kiel) \n•Lei Li (University of Göttingen) \n•Moritz Schularick (IfW Kiel) \n•Christoph Trebesch (IfW Kiel) \n•Xiaohua Yu (University of Göttingen) \n  \n\nConference Partners \n  \n

SUMMARY:GCC#43: Industrial Policies: Do Chinese Industrial Policies Work\, and What Are the Domestic and International Implications?
DESCRIPTION:Industrial Policies: Do Chinese Industrial Policies Work\, and What Are the Domestic and International Implications?\n  \nDriven by strategic planning\, generous subsidies\, and long-term visions like “Made in China 2025\,” China’s industrial policy has significantly reshaped global manufacturing—from high-tech exports to green energy supply chains. Yet crucial questions remain: How effectively do these policies foster productivity growth and structural transformation within China? What distortions or inefficiencies do they create in domestic markets? And how do these strategies reverberate across international trade systems\, supply chains\, and geopolitical alignments? One particularly revealing case is the battery supply chain in the automotive sector\, which offers key insights into raw-material sourcing\, production scale\, and the dependencies that are increasingly shaping Europe’s green industrial transformation. These dynamics raise broader concerns for Europe\, as China’s industrial strategy increasingly challenges the EU’s industrial autonomy\, climate goals\, and geopolitical resilience. \n  \nJuly 17\, 11:00-12:00 [CEST] [In English]\nOnline via Zoom—Registration\n  \nProgram \nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #43 will be held in English. \n  \nSpeakers \n \nMoritz Schularick \nMoritz Schularick is president of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy since June 2023 and Professor of Economics at Sciences Po (Paris). His research includes financial markets and asset prices\, issues in monetary macroeconomics\, and the causes of financial crises and economic inequality. \nPrior to his appointment in Kiel\, Moritz Schularick was Professor of Macroeconomics at the University of Bonn\, Director of the MacroFinance Lab there. He is also a Fellow of the DFG-Excellence Cluster ECONtribute and a full member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Academia Europea.
