Antisemitism(s) – Local to Global
2023-05-25 18:15 - 19:45 (Europe/Berlin) | VG 2.103
Antisemitism(s) – Local to Global
Malachi Haim Hacohen (Duke University)
Date: May 25, 2023
Time: 6pm – 8pm
Place: VG 2.103
Abstract:
In the aftermath of the Holocaust, Antisemitism occupies a unique place among minority hatreds, weighing on historians’ conscience and challenging historical faculties. The variety, local contexts, and divergent character of antisemitism present a major challenge for historical explanation Yet, as globalization progresses, there is a convergence toward a global antisemitic discourse, crossing continents from Europe to Asia to the Americas. The lecture will seek to demystify antisemitism by projecting it against the growth of an ever changing Jewish Diaspora and provide a framework for understanding its transformation from local and diverse antisemitism to a more uniform global discourse.

Abstract:
The definition of “The Great Qing Everlasting Unified” was frequently used in titles of general maps of the imperial realm in the beginning of the 19th century. It formally distinguishes one of the most widely known and impressive group of Chinese maps, the so-called Blue Maps and their multi-coloured congeners. This series of large format wall maps is representative of the late imperial phase of the development of traditional Chinese cartography. Göttingen State and University Library possesses a unique surviving copy of a hand-coloured map of this kind. The map is signed by Li Mingche (1751-1832), a Taoist master and a recognised Chinese astronomer and cartographer, who was propagating Western science in China. The proposed presentation analyzes how Li Mingche tried to reformat traditional Chinese representation of the realm of the Qing empire according to the standards of modern Western cartography and evaluate the outcome of this attempt from the point of view of Chinese and the Western cartographic traditions.

Speaker:
Dr. Vera Dorofeeva-Lichtmann studies historical Chinese conceptions of terrestrial space and their continuous influence on Chinese cartography. Since 2000 she is a Chargé de Recherche at the CNRS (France), and in 2017-2023 was recurrently a Visiting Scholar of the Max-Planck-Institute for the History of Science, Berlin (Germany). Her latest publications cover a large scope of text-map relationships, including translation of text into maps.

Abstract:
In Xi Jinping’s China, national security, ideology and the political priorities of the Communist Party now play a much larger role in shaping China’s economic and business environment. The context is more politicized, more uncertain. China’s state media call this ‘Xiconomics’. Xi’s Dual Circulation Strategy marks out clear dividing lines between China’s domestic economy and the rest of the world. It sets out how China seeks to manage the interactions between the two. And it does so just as Western countries focus too on decoupling, ‘friendshoring’ and technology competition. In order to succeed, Western business needs to understand these new dynamics. Simply declaring them ‘too political’ no longer works. As a result, companies are reconsidering and revising their China strategy – driven by changes both in China and at home. How far can ‘ambidexterity’ in operations go? What are companies doing to maintain connectivity and build resilience and agility? And what comes next from geopolitics – is this all just getting started?

Abstract:
“Changing Perceptions of World Order in Chinese Historiography: Three Phases of Development”: This talk takes a longue-durée perspective to examine and analyze the modern Chinese conception of the world from the middle of the 19th century to the present. This perception has changed significantly over the course of this period, which is reflected in the ups and downs of world/global history as a subfield of history. Foreign histories are commonly referred to as “world history” in the Chinese historical community; the term’s invention in the 19th century was a sign of a shifting worldview. The term “world history” has been increasingly been replaced by the term “global history” starting from the late 1990s, which suggests yet another significant shift in how the Chinese leadership and historians view the world.

Speaker:
Q. Edward Wang, a specialist in Chinese history and global historiography, received his education partly in China and partly in the US. He is now Eminent Professor of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Rowan University, Glassboro, New Jersey. He is also editor of Chinese Studies in History, a journal that promotes academic exchanges between historical communities in greater China and the rest of the world. Wang’s main publications include Historiography: Critical Readings (2021 in 4 volumes); A Global History of Modern Historiography (2008 and 2017); Chopsticks: A Cultural and Culinary History (2015), and Inventing China through History: The May Fourth Approach to Historiography (2001). Some of the above titles have appeared in Chinese, Korean, German, Greek, Japanese, and Russian.

Der Nachwuchslyriker Liao Yiwu kam nach dem 4. Juni 1989 wegen zweier Gedichte für vier Jahre ins Gefängnis, wo er sich vom Dichter zum (Zeit) Zeugen wandelte. Danach beruflich in Schwierigkeiten, begann er, in hunderten von Interviews den Außenseitern der VR-chinesischen Gesellschaft, unter ihnen die vergessenen Opfer früherer Kampagnen sowie der Öffnungspolitik, eine Stimme zu geben und ein Bild der Gesellschaft von unten zu zeichnen. Gleichzeitig hielt er in autobiographischen Werken seine Erfahrungen in und nach der Haft und bei seinen mehrfachen Fluchtversuchen fest. Zuletzt legte er mit Wuhan einen Dokumentarroman über die Corona-Pandemie in China vor. Bei all dem hat Liao Yiwu doch nie aufgehört, ein Dichter zu sein. So stellt dieser Vortrag auch die Frage nach der Beziehung von Dichtertum und Zeugenschaft.

Prof. Dr. Hans Peter Hoffmann ist einer der profiliertesten literarischen Übersetzer aus dem Chinesischen in Deutschland. Er leitet zurzeit den Arbeitsbereich Chinesisch am Fachbereich Translations-, Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaft der Universität Mainz in Germersheim. Dort lehrt und forscht er zur chinesischen Literatur und Kultur und unterrichtet literarisches Übersetzen. Hier wie in seiner weiter geführten übersetzerischen Tätigkeit beschäftigt er sich mit Texten verschiedener Genres, Autor:innen unterschiedlichster Hintergründe und mitunter weit auseinander liegenden Thematiken.

Global China Conversations #22 Deutsche Forschungskooperationen: Wissen Schaffen für oder mit China?
2023-06-29 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Thema
Die wissenschaftliche Zusammenarbeit mit China wirft zahlreiche Fragen und Herausforderungen auf. Transparenz und Offenheit bei der Zusammenarbeit, insbesondere in Bezug auf den Austausch von Forschungsergebnissen und Daten, sind zunächst zu beidseitigem Vorteil. Gleichzeitig aber mag es Unterschiede geben in ethischen Standards, Fragen des geistigen Eigentums und der Sicherstellung der Forschungsintegrität. Die enge Verflechtung von Chinas wissenschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Sektoren kann darüber hinaus potenziell zu Interessenkonflikten führen. Das führt auf deutscher Seite immer wieder zu Sicherheitsbedenken bezüglich des Diebstahls geistigen Eigentums und der möglichen Nutzung wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse für militärische Zwecke. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellen sich verschiedene Diskussionsfragen: Wie können transparente und verantwortungsvolle Forschungskooperationen mit China gestaltet werden? Welche Mechanismen sollten entwickelt werden, um ethische Standards und den Schutz des geistigen Eigentums zu gewährleisten? Wie können potenzielle Interessenkonflikte zwischen wissenschaftlicher Zusammenarbeit und wirtschaftlichen Interessen bewältigt werden? Diese Fragen bilden den Ausgangspunkt für einen konstruktiven Dialog über die Gestaltung und Ausrichtung deutscher Forschungskooperationen mit China.
Programm
Die Veranstaltung besteht aus Impulsvorträgen der Sprecher gefolgt von einer Diskussion.
Die Global China Conversation #22wird auf Deutsch abgehalten.

Abstract:
As an epoch-making event in the history of the Chinese sci-fi film industry, The Wandering Earth boasts the extraordinary acting skills of cinema superstars and fabulous special effects. Instead of providing a description of the technical issues surrounding the film’s production, this paper looks at the film as a cultural expression and dramatization of China’s reconceptualization of the notion of cosmopolitanism. After scrutinizing tianxia, which is generally taken to refer to classical Chinese cosmopolitanism, this paper goes on to describe its experiential dimension, its techno-socio-economic foundation, and its cosmopolitan solidarity as shown in the film. Finally, after analyzing the ethical dimension of the cosmopolitan community, which is embodied in the idea of “home” in the film, the paper concludes by proposing a cosmopolitanism of ethicality.

Songs of Abdul
In the captivating documentary “Songs of Abdul,” the life and experiences of Abdulmamad Bekmamadov, also known as Abdul, unfold against the backdrop of his journey from the Pamir mountains in Tajikistan to Moscow in search of work. This poignant film chronicles Abdul’s hardships in Moscow through the medium of traditional Pamirian tunes, which serve as a vehicle for him to express his deeply personal story.
Over the course of four years, the filmmakers closely observe Abdul’s multifaceted existence as a labor migrant, artist, father, and husband who has been separated from his family for a decade. With each episode, Abdul skillfully weaves the intricate threads of his real-life experiences into poetic texts, effortlessly melding them with the rhythmic melodies of traditional Pamir songs.
While facing the challenges of living in a foreign land and enduring the separation from his wife and children, who reside in the snow-covered Pamir mountains, Abdul’s music becomes a powerful conduit for storytelling and self-expression.

Before China Studies: Private Foundations and Cold War Politics in Colonial Hong Kong

Abstract:
The founding of the University Service Centre in Hong Kong in 1963 was a significant event in the development of China studies. Thanks to the city’s adjacency to mainland China and the Carnegie Corporation’s funding support, the Centre since its very beginning has become the “go-to” place for aspiring researchers to obtain first-hand information to study contemporary China. Yet in what way did U.S. government, private foundations, and the British Colonial government collaborate on founding this important institution? This is the central question of this talk. By using American and British archives, I will investigate the complicated relationship between state and society in the production of China-related knowledge in the Cold War era.

Confucius as a Cosmopolitan: Thought and Practice

07. July, 14:00-16:00
KWZ 0.601

Abstract:
Based on the Analects and other texts related to Confucius in classical period and taken “cosmopolitanism,” a concept with long history in the Western tradition as a counterpart for comparison, this talk aims to probe the thought and practice of Confucius as a cosmopolitan and point out the feature and significance of the Confucian “rooted cosmopolitanism” revealed in the thought and practice of Confucius. The rooted cosmopolitanism embodied by Confucius not only has the basic characteristics of all versions of cosmopolitanism, namely, going beyond the territory and ethnicity, but also keeps a dynamic balance between the one and the many, which is usually ignored by the radical cosmopolitanism. Last, a brief comparison between Confucian rooted cosmopolitanism and the rooted cosmopolitanism advocated by Appiah would be made.

Hegelian Master Narratives and Periodizing Japanese and Chinese Modernity

Abstract:
Scholars of Asian studies have something of a love-hate relationship with Hegel; they love to cite him as the epitome of Eurocentrism, modernization theory and the legitimation of colonialism. Despite their prevalence, such criticisms overlook both the complexities of Hegel’s philosophy and the different ways in which Asian intellectuals attempted to turn Hegel on his head or rescue the rational kernel of his thought in a non-Western context. Viren Murthy contends that for much of the twentieth century, especially in Japan, but also in China, scholars engaged Hegel by incorporating and transforming his ideas. Such incorporations enabled us to see that Hegel was not merely a theorist of modernization but one of its most incisive critics. Indeed, it was precisely because of Hegel’s critique of capitalist modernity that conservatives such as Inoue Tetsujirō found him interesting. In this presentation, Viren Murthy will examine three attempts to rethink Hegel, respectively by the pan-Asianist, Okakura Tenshin, the Kyoto school philosopher of world-history, Koyama Iwao and the Japanese sinologist, Mizoguchi Yūzō. Viren Murthy argues that each of these thinkers narrates the history of Asia, while implicitly or explicitly responding to Hegel’s idea of the Orient as not having subjectivity. Against this static vision of Asia, these figures reconfigure the historical trajectories of Japan, China and the world to reconfigure both universality and subjectivity beyond Eurocentrism. Towards the end of his talk, Viren Murthy suggests that the contemporary “new leftist” intellectual Wang Hui, continues elements of the various thinkers mentioned above. The contemporary rise of China makes such responses to Hegelian master narratives especially relevant for our contradictory present.
Speaker:
Viren Murthy teaches transnational Asian History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and researches Chinese, Japanese and Indian intellectual history. He is interested in critics of modernity in Asia, specifically, China, Japan and India. He places the history of nationalism and transnationalism in the larger trajectory of global capitalism and examines how pan-Asianists, Third Worldists, Marxists and postcolonialists theorize resistance to imperialism and capitalism and posit a world beyond the present. Central to his work is the politics of the nation-form. Pan-Asianists and Third Worldists believed that the nation-form would be able to combine anti-imperialism with a politics of socialism. He inquires into the conditions for the possibility of such theories in the early postwar period and the ask whether their categories and politics continue to be germane to our neo-liberal present. He is the author of The Political Philosophy of Zhang Taiyan: The Resistance of Consciousness (Brill, 2011) and The Politics of Time in China and Japan, Routledge, 2022). He is co-editor with Prasenjit Duara and Andrew Sartori of A Companion to Global Historical Thought, (Blackwell, 2014), co-editor with Joyce Liu of East Asian Marxisms and Their Trajectories (Routledge, 2017) and co-editor with Max Ward and Fabian Schäfer of Confronting Capital and Empire: Rethinking Kyoto School Philosophy (Brill, 2017). He has published articles in Modern Intellectual History, Modern China, Frontiers of History in China and Positions: Asia Critique, Jewish Social Studies, Critical Historical Studies, Journal of Labor and Society. His book, entitled: Pan-Asianism and the Legacy of the Chinese Revolution, is scheduled to appear in October, 2023 with University of Chicago Press.

Transnational Knowledge Transfers Between China, Europe, and the United States: Actors, Institutions, and Dynamics, 1924-1935

13. July (Thursday), 18:15 – 19:45

Overview
The two talks of this joint session interrogate processes of knowledge transfer between China, the United States, and Europe during the 1920s and 1930s. Focusing on two distinct organizations– the China Foundation (based in Shanghai and New York) and the League of Nations (based in Geneva) – both talks shed new light on the transnational entanglements of the Republican period in China, and demonstrate how foreign efforts to influence China often met with domestic resistance.

Abstract First Talk (Sally Chengji Xing): The China Foundation’s Sponsorship for Pure Science Research since 1924
In the first half of the twentieth century, leading American intellectuals frequently communicated with a cohort of prominent Chinese intellectuals previously trained in the US. Such face-to-face interchanges across the Pacific ultimately influenced Chinese choices in shaping modern scientific education and research, and the impact was generated primarily through a unique organization established based on Sino-American intellectual collaborations, the China Foundation. The China Foundation administered the second American remission of the Boxer Indemnity Funds to China and served as a sponsor of Chinese pure science research. Xing’s talk studies the contested debates, conversations and dialogues that occurred in Beijing surrounding the establishment of the China Foundation in 1924. It revisits the robust debate within the China Foundation back in 1924, by Paul Monroe and Roger Sherman Greene, about whether to sponsor “pure” or “applied” science for the sake of China’s modernization. In so doing, it demonstrates how and why Paul Monroe’s ideas, though being very influential at the time, were consequently challenged by Greene and other Chinese scientists.
Abstract Second talk (Lucas Brang): From Geneva with Expertise: The League of Nations’ program of cooperation with Republican China (1925-1935)
Despite being largely forgotten today, the League of Nations’ China Program was likely the largest and most ambitious program of international cooperation and “development assistance” prior to the second half of the twentieth century. From its formal inception in 1931 to its dismantling several years later, the cooperation between Geneva and Nanjing brought large numbers of European experts to China, where they advised on such diverse fields as public health, educational reform, infrastructure-building, administrative restructuring, and global finance. Based on memoirs of involved actors as well as diplomatic documents from several Foreign Offices and the League of Nations Archive in Geneva, Lucas Brang’s talk will reexamine the China Program as an early instance of “global governance” through professional expertise. Revisiting this episode of transnational cooperation demonstrates that, despite the increasingly hostile environment, the early 1930s constituted a highpoint of China’s international legal, economic, and administrative integration. At the same time, internal documents reveal that, rather than being a genuinely universal organization, the League of Nations was widely perceived as an agent of “European civilization” in competition with new hegemons like the United States and Soviet Russia. Finally, the talk shows how this global rivalry over China undermined Geneva’s claim to “neutral” expertise, which ultimately precipitated the collapse of the program along with the interwar peace order at large.

Speakers:

Economic development in China and the world faces many challenges, including COVID-19, conflicts, climate change, currency inflation, and aging populations. After the 20th Party Congress in October 2022, China is shifting many of its policies to address these challenges.
In this era of change, sustainable development is critical as it provides a framework to meet the present generation’s needs while preserving the ability of future generations to meet their own. With a rapidly growing global population and increasing demand for natural resources, it is imperative to balance economic, social, and environmental considerations to ensure a stable and prosperous future for all. By tackling issues such as climate change, poverty, and inequality, sustainable development can foster a more resilient and equitable society.
As we navigate a changing era characterized by technological advances like artificial intelligence, globalization, and shifting demographics, sustainable development is becoming more relevant as a guide for policy-making and business practices. It encourages innovation and collaboration, and advocates for responsible resource management and inclusive growth. Ultimately, sustainable development provides a pathway to a better future that is both prosperous and equitable, while ensuring that our planet can continue to support life for generations to come.
Given this context, the conference’s main focus is on sustainable development in China and the world. Submitted papers will cover a range of relevant topics, including but not limited to the following:
– Sustainable food system
– International trade and development
– Low carbon economy
– Food security

Education and democracy in modern China
2023-07-14 16:00 - 18:00 | KWZ 0.602
Abstract:
Institutional change in education and the cultivation of a qualified citizenry were two sides of the same coin of developing democratic education in modern China. At stake is to understand how democratic education filled a critical role in bridging the gap between democratic ideals and political realities. This lecture will focus on teachings of citizenship and democracy in Chinese primary and secondary schools between 1923-1936 for the purpose of strengthening embryonic democratic politics by creating qualified citizens, and seek to shed some light on the complex intertwinement of educational and political reforms in modern China.
Speaker:
Ying Zhou is an assistant professor at the Institute of Education, Xiamen University, China. She obtained her PhD at the University of Groningen (NL), trained in both Educational Studies and Sinology. Her PhD dissertation is entitled Education and Politics in China: Civic Education in Times of Reform, 1901-1937, and her current research project is concerned with pragmatism and progressive education in China and Japan.

Abstract:
德国汉学从一开始就不局限于某一领域，今天对它的历史梳理，也必然是在历史学、语文学、人类学、自然科学等其他学科的理论和方法的参与下进行，这同时也体现了德国汉学史研究的活力和多样性。李雪涛教授以德国汉学史为例，指出近年来汉学史研究的范式，已经从之前的”内部论”（internalist）或”谱系式”（genealogical）的历史思考方式，转变为了将汉学研究的现象、事件与进程置于”全球脉络”中予以分析，从而形成了一种真正的跨文化全球史研究。

Speaker:
Prof. Li is an expert among other topics on the history of Western China Studies and will address recent central questions of the development of China Studies in the West applying a global history perspective.

The lecture will be held in Chinese.

Global China Conversations #23 Russia’s Ties with China: Helping or Hindering the Yuan in Becoming an International Currency?
2023-07-20 11:00 - 12:00
Registration required

Topic
The “friendship without limits” between China and Russia, which the heads of state of the two countries still affirmed on the occasion of the Winter Olympics in China at the beginning of February 2022, has not lost its significance in the past year since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war, even if China has held back from its otherwise pro-Russia position. However, this “friendship” received a new boost with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Russia in March 2023: Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, announced that in the future, all oil and gas transactions between Russia and China would be denominated in the Chinese yuan. Will this development help or hinder the Chinese yuan’s path to becoming an international currency? What are the economic and financial challenges behind this yuan peg in oil and gas transactions between the two countries, especially for China? What is the geopolitical significance of this deepened partnership for China, Russia, and also for the West?
Program
The event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion.
The Global China Conversation #23 will be held in English.

Global China Conversations #24 Global Gateway und die Belt and Road: Eine Nachhaltige Alternative?
2023-09-21 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Thema
Chinas neue Seidenstraße steht international in der Kritik: Unter Ihrem Dach werden neue Kohlekraftwerke errichten und Geld an Staaten verliehen, die längst hoch verschuldet sind. 2021 reagiert die EU: Mit der Global Gateway Initiative will sie eine werte-basierte Alternative bieten. Es sind knapp 300 Milliarden Euro bis 2027 für „nachhaltige und hochwertige Projekte, die dem Bedarf der Partnerländer entsprechen und den Menschen vor Ort dauerhafte Vorteile bringen“ zugesagt. Chinas Führung schien zeitgleich einen ähnlichen Gedanken gehabt zu haben: Drei Monate vor Veröffentlichung der entsprechenden Kommissions-Mitteilung der EU verkündete Präsident Xi Jinping auf der Generalversammlung der UN das Ende von Kohleinvestitionen entlang der BRI. Es scheint funktioniert zu haben: Gingen 2014-2017 noch über 50% der Energieinvestitionen in fossile Energien, zeigen neue Daten des Green Finance & Development Center seit 2021 einen deutlichen Rückgang von Investitionen in fossile Energien. Doch wie grün ist die Belt and Road wirklich? Was will die EU anders machen? Wo sind Möglichkeiten der Zusammenarbeit? Und was bedeutet dieser Wettbewerb für die Partnerländer im Globalen Süden?

Global China Conversations #25 Diversifizierung: Kann Indien eine Alternative zu China sein?
2023-10-26 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Thema
Eine alternde Bevölkerung, strukturell schwächeres Wachstum in China und der generelle De-Risking-Tonus lenken alle Augen auf Indien: Während Chinas arbeitsfähige Bevölkerung schrumpft, wird die Indiens wachsen. Investoren sehen in der relativen wirtschaftlichen Autonomie des Landes die Möglichkeit, sich gegen die Auswirkungen einer drohenden, globalen Rezession der international vernetzten Wirtschaft besser zu sichern. Für deutsche Unternehmen kann das Land einen Markt bieten, wo China zunehmend selbst produziert. Selbst erklärtes Ziel der indischen Regierung ist es, bis 2047 das Stadium eines entwickelten Landes zu erreichen. Reformen wie eine einheitliche Mehrwertsteuer und ein einheitlicher Binnenmarkt sind Schritte in die richtige Richtung. Trotzdem bleiben strukturelle Probleme wie Armut, geringe Industrialisierung, protektionistische Maßnahmen, und Korruption bestehen. Das Land unter Narendra Modi sieht außerdem einen Wandel hin zu Hindu-Nationalismus, der in Teilen des Landes zu ethnischen Unruhen führt. Als „größte Demokratie Asiens“ wird Indien als Partner des Westens umworben, während es sich gleichzeitig in den BRICS an die Seite von China und Russland stellt. Bietet gerade dieser Versuch, zwischen den Blocks zu stehen, attraktives Diversifizierungspotential? Oder werden die internen Probleme weiter dazu führen, dass Indien der „ewige Zukunftsmarkt“ bleibt?
In GCC#25 diskutieren wir Indiens wirtschaftliche Zukunft und sein Potential als Diversifikationsziel für deutsche Unternehmen.

Snail sex, demanding deities, a cold case – everyday life in Taiwan holds the most unbelievable stories in store. Lung Ying-Tai compiled them in her novel “Under Kavulungan.” In conversation with Dominic Sachsenmaier and Monika Li, Taiwan’s most famous author explores the complex answers to this question. Philosophical young adult novel, nature writing, nativist literature, an escapist zeitgeist portrait, thriller or love story – “Under Kavulungan” offers many ways of reading. On which themes did Lung Ying-Tai’s focus during the writing? Why did she choose southern Taiwan as the stage of her novel?

“Contemporary Theater Art” Seminar Series No. 20: The Force of Mortality and Urban Villages Futurism of Butterfly Island 蝴蝶岛死亡力与城中村未来主义
2023-11-16 13:00 - 15:00 | Zoom
Speaker: Sun Xiaoxing
Venue: Zoom 686 4710 3798
Time: Nov. 16th, 2023. 13: 00 CET / 20: 00 Beijing Time
Language: Chinese with English translation
Abstract:
The dramaturgy Sun Xiaoxing will base his analysis of the tragic nature and multiple futures presented in “Butterfly Island” on his article “The Force of Mortality and Urban Villages Futurism of The Butterfly Island”. He will dissect the metaphor of the ephemerality of the butterfly’s brief life and youth, as well as the coexisting splendor and despair of the young lives on the island, and their circumstance of being both detached from and connected to the world. Moreover, by analyzing the significance implied in the “relocation” from the premiere in Hong Kong to the performance in urban villages in Shenzhen, he will explore the shift from a Sinofuturism tinged with Techno-Orientalism or Techno-Nationalism to a pluralistic Urban Villages Futurism.
戏剧构作者孙晓星将以他的文章《蝴蝶岛死亡力与城中村未来主义》为基础，解析《蝴蝶岛》所呈现的悲剧性和对未来的多重想象，蝴蝶短暂的一生与青春易逝的隐喻，以及岛上年轻生命绚烂与绝望并存的状态，和这种与世界既脱节又联系的处境。此外，通过分析由香港首演至深圳城中村“迁移”所蕴含的意义，探讨从一个带有技术东方主义或技术民族主义色彩的中华未来主义，向复数未来的城中村未来主义的转变。
Short Bio:

Global China Conversations #26 The Chinese Anti-espionage Law: What Risks for Companies and the Scientific Community?
2023-11-30 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Topic
Security concerns have become a priority issue for many countries around the world. In China, this has manifested itself in a “holistic view of national security”—a phrase now directly invoked in the new Anti-Espionage Law that encompasses a broad understanding of national security and emphasizes vigilance against security risks in all areas. The Anti-Espionage Law was recently enacted in the wake of several high-profile cases, including a dawn raid at the Shanghai office of a renowned US management consulting firm. To what extent does this affect economic cooperation with China? Does the Law’s expanded scope of “espionage activities” jeopardize the normal operation of foreign companies and scientific exchanges? And how is academic research affected? Is it still possible to share data in cooperation projects and collect business information in China? At GCC #26, we will discuss these and other questions with our distinguished experts.
Program
The event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion.
The Global China Conversation #26 will be held in English.

Fan Xin (Cambridge): Emotions as Politics: Rethinking Chinese Nationalism
2023-12-04 17:15 - 18:45 | Theologicum (Theol) 0.135
4. Dec. (Monday), 17:15 – 18:45
Theologicum (Theol) 0.135
Abstract:
The rise of the history of emotions has been a recent development in historiography. In the field of Chinese studies, scholars such as Eugenia Lean, Haiyan Lee, Chen Li, and Zuo Ya have been writing about how emotions, feelings, and sentiments contributed to the formation and transformation of Chinese identities. In this presentation, I attempt to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity to rethink the theoretical implications when we historicize emotions beyond the Eurocentric paradigm of the rationality regime. By critically examining the existing scholarship on Chinese nationalism through the lens of the history of emotions, I argue that emotions are a significant aspect of affecting the decision-making process in nationalist politics, and Chinese nationalism is not just political, cultural, and ethnic, but also emotional.

Speaker:
Dr. Xin Fan is a Teaching Associate of Modern Chinese History and a Fellow at Lucy Cavendish College at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of World History and National Identity in China: The Twentieth Century (Cambridge UP, 2021) and the second editor of Receptions of Greek and Roman in East Asia (Brill, 2018). As a historian of modern China with a strong interest in global history, he is currently working on two book projects, “Global History in China” and “The Right to Talk about China: The Rise of Emotional Politics, 1900–1949.” In addition, he has written on global conceptual history, the history of international relations, and the rise of historical geography in China. He is also the book review editor of China and Asia: A Journal in Historical Studies. He has studied and worked in China, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Global China Conversations #27: Zukunft der Technologiestandards: Deutschland und China im Wettbewerb?
2023-12-07 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Thema
Die Zukunft der globalen Wirtschaft wird maßgeblich vom Wettbewerb um Technologiestandards geprägt. Chinas Einfluss bei der Festlegung von globalen Technologiestandards ist zu einem bedeutenden Faktor geworden. Innerhalb verschiedener internationaler Gremien verstärkt China seine Präsenz und spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Gestaltung von Standards für wegweisende Technologien. Der Plan „China Standards 2035“ ist ein Schlüsselfaktor bei der Förderung chinesischer Standards entlang der Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
Auch Deutschland pflegt eine enge Kooperation mit China im Bereich der Technologiestandardisierung, insbesondere im Rahmen von Industrie-4.0-Technologien. Diese partnerschaftlichen Bemühungen zeigen sich in gemeinsamen Standardisierungsvorschlägen und stärken Chinas Position in internationalen Gremien der Standardisierung. Durch diese Zusammenarbeit ergeben sich jedoch auch Herausforderungen und Kontroversen, insbesondere bezüglich der Vereinbarkeit des liberalen Marktsystems mit dem staatlich geführten, autoritären Wirtschaftsmodells Chinas.
In der GCC #27 möchten wir daher folgende Fragen erörtern: Wie nutzt China die Standardisierung als strategisches Instrument und welche möglichen europäischen Reaktionen sind denkbar? Wie gestaltet sich die Kooperation zwischen Deutschland und China im Bereich der Technologiestandardisierung? Wie wird sich der Wettbewerb um die Festlegung von Standards voraussichtlich entwickeln und welche Auswirkungen könnten sich für weltweit agierende Unternehmen ergeben? Welchen Einfluss hat der Handelskonflikt zwischen China und den USA auf technische Standards und europäische Unternehmen? Welche Maßnahmen könnten ergriffen werden, um eine ausgewogene Balance zwischen den verschiedenen Wirtschaftsmodellen und Standardisierungsansätzen zu finden?

Online-Veranstaltung: Was wäre, wenn…? Abkoppelung von China und die Kosten für Deutschland
2023-12-14 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Was wäre, wenn es zu einem Handelskonflikt mit China käme? Der EU-China Gipfel vor einigen Tagen und Analysen von MERICS zur Entwicklung der Wirtschaftspolitik in China legen nahe, dass sich Spannungen in den Wirtschaftsbeziehungen zwischen der EU und China eher verschärfen werden. Eine neue Analyse des IfW Kiel ergibt, dass in einem Szenario abgeschotteter Handelsblöcke ein abrupter Handelsstopp mit China für die deutsche Wirtschaft teuer, aber zu überstehen wäre. Kurzfristig würde die Wirtschaftsleistung deutlich einbrechen, langfristig pendelt sich der Verlust aber auf ein verkraftbares Maß ein.
Wir wollen zu diesen Entwicklungen und Ergebnissen der Studie mit Ihnen ins Gespräch kommen. Deshalb laden wir Sie hiermit herzlich ein zu unserem Online-Event:

Robert Kramm: Staging Radical Utopian Communities in the Early 20th Century
2023-12-18 16:15 - 17:45 | VG 3.101
Announcement:
Due to medical reasons, the lecture has to be canceled. We will reschedule it for early next year.

Abstract:
At the turn of the twentieth century, radical utopian communities were built all around the world. They served as retreats, but they simultaneously constituted hubs for activists, reformers, and revolutionaries to meet, share, and develop new ideas and practices of community and human existence. The project Radical Utopian Communities deliberately builds on different and seemingly unrelated case studies of communal experiments, encompassing the Tolstoy Farm in South Africa, the Nōson Seinen Sha’s anarchist commune in imperial Japan, and the Rastafarian Pinnacle Commune on Jamaica. In this talk, the main focus is on these communities’ intellectual work, and their staging as a struggle of modernity in the first half of the twentieth century.

Speaker:
Robert Kramm holds a doctoral degree in history from ETH Zurich and is currently Freigeist-Fellow and principal investigator of the research group “Radical Utopian Communities” in the School of History at LMU Munich. He received an Asia-Pacific History Fellowship at the GHI West at UC Berkeley, and was a post-doctoral fellow in the Society of Fellows in the Humanities at the University of Hong Kong and the Kulturwissenschaftliches Kolleg at the University of Konstanz. His first book, Sanitized Sex: Regulating Prostitution, Venereal Disease, and Intimacy during the Occupation of Japan, 1945-1952, was published 2017 with University of California Press. His peer-reviewed articles appeared in the Journal of World History, Journal of Women’s History, Geschichte und Gesellschaft, Modern Asian Studies and Journal of Global History.

Global China Conversations #28 Prospects of the Chinese Economy: Short Malady or Fundamental Slow-down?
2024-01-25 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Topic
With the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, China also ended its zero Covid policy and the world seemed ready for the resumption of high GDP growth rates. Nevertheless, the overall trajectory of the Chinese economy appears to be more restrained. As the new year has started, it is crucial to assess the prospects for Chinese economic growth for 2024 and beyond. Are the real-estate crisis and the elevated youth unemployment mere isolated issues, or do they signify deeper systemic problems? Will China return to a path of rapid growth? Is the “no politics, no problem” bargain broken? And if yes, how can the CCP fix it? These issues demand serious consideration.
Furthermore, as the international community, particularly the West, contemplates its response to China’s economic predicament, what strategies should be adopted? At GCC #28, we will engage with renowned experts to delve into these pressing questions and explore the best course of action for navigating the current economic challenges facing China.
Program
The event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion.
The Global China Conversation #28 will be held in English.

Literature

The impulse lectures refer to the following publication:
Posen, Adam (2023): „The End of China’s Economic Miracle“, published in Foreign Affairs August 2, 2023
