SUMMARY:Ritual and Pluralism: Religious Variations on Socialist Death Rituals in Urban China
DESCRIPTION:Religious Diversity Colloquium:\n“Ritual and Pluralism: Religious Variations on Socialist Death Rituals in Urban China\nLecturer: Huwy-min Lucia Liu (George Mason University) \nTime: December 9\, 2019\, 10:30-12:00 \nVenue: MPI-MMG Conference Room\, Hermann-Föge-Weg 12\, Göttingen  \n  \nThe default funeral in Shanghai today consists of religious variations of a secular socialist civil ritual. Within this ritual\, however\, is a clear paradox: how can one create religious “variations” of a secular and socialist funeral that explicitly denies any recognition of spirits or the afterlife? How do socialist\, religious\, Confucian\, and even Christian ideas of personhood and death become commensurable in one single ritual?\nThis talk explores the relationships between incommensurable values through commemorations of the dead in Shanghai.\nDr. Liu not only shows how a single ritual can realize multiple seemingly incommensurable values but also details two different techniques for making such incommensurable values commensurable. Her findings show that what makes value pluralism possible depends on how people conceptualize rituals. When people see rituals as following social conventions\, there is more space for pluralism\, but when people treat rituals as making personal testimonies\, the possibility for pluralism decreases. Huwy-min Lucia Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at George Mason University in the United States since 2019. Before joining Mason\, she was an Assistant Professor in the Division of Humanities at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Dr. Liu\nreceived her PhD from the Anthropology Department at Boston University in 2015. Dr. Liu is a cultural anthropologist whose research interests cover topics in politics\, religions\, socialism and change\, subjectivity and governance\, life and death study\, rituals\, and emotion. She is currently working on a book tentatively titled\, Governing Death\, Making Persons: The New Chinese Way of Death. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Chan Studies based on the Rare Material Collection at Fo Guang University
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nChan Studies based on the Rare Material Collection at Fo Guang University\n  \n  \nLectuerers: Yi-hsun Huang & Hsin-yi Lin\nTime: 03. Dez.\, 16:00 – 18:00\nVenue: VG 4.105\, Göttingen\nOrganiser: Ostasiatisches Seminar \n  \n  \nYi-hsun Huang: Chan Master Hanyue’s Concept of Chan and Teachings \nAbstract: This talk introduces Chan Master Hanyue’s 漢月 (1573–1635) attitude toward sūtra teachings in the late Ming by using a rare book\, Hanyue’s Guiding Words on the Zhizheng zhuan. Hanyue represents a mature and confident attitude towards sūtra teachings on the part of a Chan master during the late imperial period of Chinese Buddhism. \n  \nHsin-yi Lin: Meditation Illnesses \nAbstract: In the history of meditation practice\, the concept of meditation illnesses or chanbing 禪病 has been brought out by several Chinese masters in different periods. This talk traces its multiple usages and points out the shift of meaning of the phrase in history by looking into a bunch of meditation texts during the medieval China. This changing understanding of the term may reflect the preponderance of the Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment and Zongmi’s commentary in later interpretation of the concept among meditation practitioners. \n  \n  \n  \nImage: Master Hanyue from Changshu library ©.

SUMMARY:The Yijing and the Yijing Commentarial Traditions
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nThe Yijing and the Yijing Commentarial Traditions\n\nProf. Dr. Tze-ki Hon (City University of Hong Kong)\nTime: 29. November\, 17:00 – 19:00\nVenue: KWZ 0.603\n \n  \nAbstract:\nOriginally a divination manual\, the Yijing 易經 (Book of Changes) is a composite text consisting of three distinct layers. Its first layer is comprised by the 8 trigrams and 64 hexagrams allegedly created by the mythical figure\, Fu Xi. Its second layer are the hexagram statements and line statements allegedly written by King Wen and the Duke of Zhou during the 11th century BCE. Its third layer incorporates seven pieces of writings composed from 5th to 2nd century BCE. Divided into ten segments (hence\, the name “Ten Wings”)\, the authors of these writings used the hexagrams to discuss cosmic patterns\, the relations between humanity and nature\, and the complexity of human life. By 125 BCE\, these three textual layers were combined to form what we now call the Yijing. \nDespite separate by hundreds of years\, these three layers of the Yijing were traditionally considered as mutually reinforcing in illuminating the meanings of the classic. Yet\, over the centuries\, Chinese scholars disagreed on the sequence of reading. Some read the text chronologically\, focusing on the visual images as the foundation of other parts. Others read the text historically\, focused on the writings of King Wen and the Duke of Zhou to connect the hexagrams to the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. Yet others read the text retrospectively\, focusing on the Ten Wings as the philosophical summation of the entire classic. In this talk\, Prof. Hon will compare different commentarial traditions that interpreted the Yijing for different audiences. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Film Cycle 2019: Enter the Dragon
DESCRIPTION:Film Cycle 2019:\nEnter the Dragon 龍爭虎鬥 (1973) \n  \nLecturer: Katja Pessl\nTime: 20.11.2019\, 4 pm (sharp)\nVenue: ZHG 1.142\, Platz der Göttinger Sieben 5\, 37073 Göttingen \n \n  \n  \nEnter the Dragon is a 1973 martial arts action film produced by and starring Bruce Lee. The film\, which co-stars John Saxon and Jim Kelly\, was directed by Robert Clouse. It would be Bruce Lee’s final completed film appearance before his death on 20 July 1973 at age 32. \nEnter the Dragon is considered to be one of the greatest martial arts films of all time. In 2004\, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally\, historically\, or aesthetically significant”. Among the first films to combine martial arts action with the emerging Blaxploitation genre\, its success led to a series of similar productions combining both genres. Its themes have also generated scholarly debate about how they reflect the changes taking place within post-colonial Asian societies following the end of World War II.\n(Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enter_the_Dragon) \n  \n  \nImage: Squeezyboy\, Bruce Lee (CC BY 2.0) https://flic.kr/p/cut95\n

SUMMARY:Impressionen aus Xinjiang: Leben an der Seidenstraße
DESCRIPTION:Fotoausstellung\nImpressionen aus Xinjiang: Leben an der Seidenstraße\n\nOrt: Apex Göttingen Burgstr. 46\, 37073 Göttingen\nZeit: 7. Juni bis August 2019\n\n\nEröffnung der  Ausstellung und der 11. Märchenwochen: Auf der Seidenstraße unterwegs\nFreitag 7. Juni 17 Uhr \nIm Mittelpunkt dieser Fotoausstellung mit Bildern von Ma Kang und Ablet Semet steht das heutige Leben an der nördlichen Seidenstraße. Die Bilder aus Xinjiang im westlichen China erzählen vom Alltag in einer Region\, in der sich nicht nur Architektur und Stadtbilder rasch verändern\, sondern wo sich auch Glaube und Identität im Umbruch befinden. Als visueller Dialog zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft lädt die Ausstellung dazu ein\, Momente der Modernisierung und des Wandels in Xinjiang zu begreifen und die märchenhafte Vorstellung von der Seidenstraße ins richtige Licht zu stellen. \n\n\n\nMa Kang ist Fotograf und Maler. Er wurde 1962 in Nanjing geboren und lebt heute in Shanghai. Nach einer Ausbildung in Ölmalerei entdeckte Ma Kang die Fotographie als ideales Medium seines künstlerischen Ausdrucks. In seiner Arbeit geht es um den haltlosen Wandel in China und um das Verschwinden gelebter Vielfalt. In einer Zeit\, in der Perspektiven\, Glaube und Gewissheit für viele Chinesen besonders diffus und unzugänglich sind\, hält er mit seiner Kamera Momente der „Ungewissheit“ fest.  Die Fotoserie Makang’s Uncertain Times: Xinjiang Impressions ist seine neueste Arbeit zu Ürümqi\, Kashgar und anderen Städten in Xinjiang. \nMa Kangs urbane Perspektive steht im Dialog zu Ablet Semets Blick auf das ländliche Xinjiang. Dr. Semet ist Wissenschaftler und Ethnologe am Seminar für Turkologie und Zentralasienkunde an der Universität Göttingen. Selbst Uigure\, wurde er 1969 in Artush\, in der Nähe Kashgars geboren\, und begann sein Studium im Ürümqi\, bevor er in Beijing Turkologie studierte. Nachdem er Zeit in Ankara verbrachte\, kam er nach Deutschland und promovierte 2003 in Göttingen. Durch seine Fotografien dokumentiert er seine Forschung zu den kulturellen Begegnungen von Sprache\, Literatur und multireligiösem Architekturerbe in Xinjiang. \n\nMehr Informationen zu den Märchenwochen finden Sie hier. \n\nVeranstalter der Ausstellung: Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Seminar für Turkologie und Zentralasienkunde an der Universität Göttingen

SUMMARY:Wanderausstellung: yallah?! Über die Balkanroute
DESCRIPTION:Wanderausstellung: \nyallah?! über die Balkanroute\n  \n29. Juli – 22. Aug. 2019\nÖffnungszeiten: 14:00 – 17:00 Uhr\nOrt: Stadtlabor Migration\, Schildweg 1\, 37085 Göttingen\, Raum 5+7 (nur als Ausstellungsfläche) \n  \nWorum geht es?\nNach und nach rücken der Sommer 2015\, der „March of Hope“ von Budapest nach Österreich und die „Willkommen!“ rufenden Menschen an deutschen Bahnhöfen immer weiter in die Ferne. Während 2015 die geöffneten Grenzen die Stimmung elektrisiert haben\, ist die heutige Debatte zum Thema Flucht immer öfter dominiert von Diskussionen über Grenzsicherung\, Terror und rassistischen Perspektiven. Dem entgegen soll mit dieser Ausstellung der „langen Sommer der Migration“ 2015 und die Öffnung eines Korridors durch Süd-Osteuropa als relevantes politisches und historisches Ereignis festgehalten und gut aufgearbeitet einem breiten Publikum zugänglich gemacht werden. Die Ausstellung rückt zwei Jahre später Geflüchtete als Hauptakteur_innen wieder in den Vordergrund und zeigt mit zahlreichen Audio-\, Foto- und Videoaufnahmen sowie Kunstwerken ihre Sichtweisen auf Migration und Europa. \nWer spricht?\nIm Mittelpunkt der Ausstellung stehen die Perspektiven von Geflüchteten. Die präsentierten Audio-\, Video- und Fotoaufnahmen wurden während zahlreicher Gespräche und Interviews in Nordgriechenland\, Serbien oder in Deutschland aufgenommen.\nEntstanden sind die Materialien während Fahrten auf die sogenannte Balkanroute\, bei denen die Macher_innen der Ausstellung auf unterschiedliche Weise Geflüchtete solidarisch unterstützt haben. Während der Gespräche auf der Route wurde deutlich\, dass die Stimmen von Refugees in Deutschland mehr Gehör finden müssen. In der Ausstellung kommen Künstler_innen mit Fluchterfahrung durch ihre eigenen Werke zu Wort. Die Ausstellung ist in einer Zusammenarbeit von mehreren Personen entstanden\, die auf der Route Geflüchtete unterstützt haben und in politischen\, kritisch-akademischen und künstlerischen Kontexten engagiert sind. \nDie Ausstellung ist in deutscher Sprache. Audio-\, Gedicht und Videobeiträge sind im Original mit Untertitel und Übersetzung.

SUMMARY:Transnational ageing and care technologies: Mainland Chinese grandparenting migrants
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nTransnational ageing and care technologies: Mainland Chinese grandparenting migrants\nOrganizer: Max Planck Research Group \nLecturer: Dr. Elaine Ho (National University of Singapore)\nTime: Thursday\, 11. JULY 2019 | 14:15 – 16:00 |\nPlace: Hermann-Föge-Weg 12 (villa)\, Göttingen\n \nAbstract: \nTransnational ageing is an understudied topic compared to the attention that has been given to other aspects of transnational familyhood. This presentation focuses on grandparenting migrants from the People’s Republic of China who move temporarily to Singapore or Sydney to care for grandchildren and/or to receive care. Rather than “ageing in place”\, they are charting transnational journeys of ageing by recreating social networks and social spaces abroad. Using WeChat\, an ICT tool\, they maintain social ties in China while also building new social connections abroad. Our presentation introduces the concept of “care technologies”\, referring to two dimensions: first\, in the Foucauldian sense of how technologies of subjectification are evinced in and through care relations; and second\, the role that ICT tools play in mediating care relations across borders\, exhibiting governmentality effects too. The presentation also shares insights on integrating qualitative research methods with Geographic Information Science (GIS) visualisations to extend understanding of the spatial and temporal care routines of the grandparenting migrants\, as well as the “throwntogether” spaces which they share with older Singaporeans as they age abroad. \nClick here to find the flyer. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Japan and China on the Silk Road: a Global History of Politics and Culture in Eurasia
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: \nJapan and China on the Silk Road: a Global History of Politics and Culture in Eurasia\n  \nProf. Selçuk Esenbel (Department of History\, Boğaziçi University Istanbul)\nJun 18\, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nKWZ 0.609\, University of Göttingen \nJapan on the Silk Road is a  global history  of politics and culture from the late 19th century until the end of the second world war connected to  the Great Game between competing empires of Russia\, Britain\, and China in the vast area of Eurasia across the Middle East and Central Asia. Between 1868-1945 Japanese diplomats\, military officers\, archaeologists\, and linguists traversed the land locked and maritime Silk Roads pursuing imperial interest and exploring ancient civilizations. \nA global team of scholars bring to light Japan’s intellectual and political encounters with the peoples and cultures of Asia\, in particular Turks and Persians\, Hindus and Muslims of India\, Mongolians and the Uyghur of Inner Asia\, and Muslims in China. The study exposes the entanglements of pre-war Japanese Pan-Asianism with Pan-Islamism\, Turkic nationalism and Mongolian independence as a global history of imperialism and the Japanese connections to Ottoman Turkey\, India\, Egypt\, Iran\, Afghanistan\, and China. At the same time it reveals a discrete global narrative of cosmopolitanism in  Japan’s intellectual and political encounters with the peoples and cultures of  Eurasia Asia along this  transnational geography. The Japanese experience also shows the background to the One Belt One Road  vision of China today and the revival of the “Silk Road” as a geography of competition and contestation. \nProf. Selçuk Esenbel got her BA from George Washington University\, M.S. from Georgetown University and Ph.D from Columbia University. She has been Chair of History Department\, Director of Asian Studies Center\, Turkish Director of Confucius Institute\, and University Administrative Council Member; she is President of Japanese Studies Association in Turkey since 2002. Her latest publications include: Turk-Cin Iliskilerine Turkiye’den Bakislar (Turkish-Chinese Relations: Perspectives from Turkey\, 2012)\, Japan\, Turkey\, and the World of Islam: The Writings of Selcuk Esenbel (2011)\, and Japan and the World of Islam: Transnational Nationalism and World Power\, 1868-1945 (forthcoming\, 2014). She got the High Achivement Award for Senior Scholars from Boğaziçi University in 2005\, and the Special Prize for Japanese Studies from Japan Foundation in 2007. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Greening for urban wellbeing: A Sustainability Assessment of the Kökyar Protection Forest in NW China
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nGreening for urban wellbeing: A Sustainability Assessment of the Kökyar Protection Forest in NW China\n  \n  \nProf. Dr. Martin Welp (Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development)\nTime: Tuesday\, 18.06.2019\, 4 pm-6 pm\nVenue: VG 4.103\, University of Göttingen \nAbstract \nChina has made remarkable achievements in increasing forest and vegetation cover in large parts of the country. The Three-North Shelter Forest Program (also known as the great green wall) is one the famous national initiatives to hold back desertification. On the local level\, the city of Aksu\, located at the fringe of the Taklimakan desert in NW China\, started already in the 1980s preparing and planting the so called Kökyar protection forest. It is an ecological engineering project with the intent of protecting the city from frequent dust and sand storms. The forest is well-known in China\, has been awarded by the UN and is highlighted as an achievement of the so called “Kökyar-spirit”. We examined the shelterbelt from a broader perspective\, embedding Kökyar to the wider context of social and environmental problems in South Xinjiang. Results affirm the economic sustainability of the shelterbelt\, but see a mixed record for the social sphere as well as negative trade-offs when looking at the ecological dimensions — especially due high water consumption of the protection forest (a combination of poplar shelterbelts and orchards) and its impacts down-stream. There is a trade-off between artificial shelterbelt plantations for urban ecosystem services on the one hand side\, and natural riparian forests and their biodiversity on the other hand side. In such agroforestry schemes systemic interactions need to be considered and locally adapted species favored. \nShort CV \nMartin Welp holds a professorship in Socioeconomics and Communication at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (Faculty of Forest and Environment). He is head of the International Master Study Programme Global Change Management (M.Sc.). He earned his Doctoral degree at the Technische Universität Berlin in Germany and his Master’s degree in Forestry at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Before his current position he worked as senior researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK)\, Department Global Change and Social Systems. He is engaged in stakeholder dialogues in science-policy-platforms as well as in management\, researching positions and agreements among actors\, dialogue methods and the theoretical framing of such dialogues. Research projects have focused on global (environmental) change with special attention to socio-economic dimensions and human well-being. Past projects include among others SuMaRiO – Sustainable Management of River Oases along the Tarim River / China funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

SUMMARY:The 14th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 14th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon:\nMeasuring Reliability in the Wartime Transport of Provisions: The Case of Mao Yuanyi (1594-1641) \n  \n  \nPresenter: Masato Hasegawa (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science)\nCommentators: Dr. Charlotte Backerra\, Dr. Julia Schneider \nTime: Tuesday\, 11.06.2019\, 4 pm (c.t.) – 6 pm\nVenue: VG 2.101\, University of Göttingen\n \n  \nAbstract \nThis paper examines the notion of efficiency and reliability in the wartime transport of provisions during the late Ming period. Primarily drawing on writings of Mao Yuanyi (1594-1641)\, one of the most prolific writers of the period on military matters\, this study assesses how technologies\, animals\, and human labor enabled the overland transport of military provisions in late Ming society. A military strategist and advisor\, Mao participated in the Ming defense effort against the Jurchen troops in Liaodong in the early seventeenth century. In his seminal study on the conduct of war\, The Record of Military Preparedness (Wubeizhi)\, he extensively discussed the costs and benefits of the transport methods that were available at the time\, including wooden carts\, pack animals\, and water transport. Among the various methods considered in The Record of Military Preparedness\, Mao clearly favored what he called “human transport” (renyun)\, which exclusively relied on the labor of human bearers. By analyzing his writings on the transport of provisions and his forceful argument in favor of employing human labor\, this study not only illuminates the manner in which consideration over the duration and speed of transport entailed an appraisal of reliability over the long term. It also reveals how local communities in the Liaodong region became intricately involved in the planning and implementation of war in the late Ming period. \nFor an essay draft please contact us (assist@cemeas.uni-goettingen.de). \nShort Bio \nMasato Hasegawa received his PhD in History from Yale University in 2013 and previously taught Chinese\, Korean\, and East Asian history at the University of Oregon\, Columbia University\, and New York University. His research centers on the question of how individual lives intersected larger historical changes in borderlands in early modern East Asia. His dissertation\, “Provisions and Profits in a Wartime Borderland: Supply Lines and Society in the Border Region between China and Korea\, 1592–1644\,” examined the impact of cross-border wars on local society in the Chinese-Korean borderland during China’s political transition from the Ming to the Qing dynasty. Focusing on the wartime procurement and transport of provisions across the Chinese-Korean borders\, it analyzed the manner in which the logistics of cross-border military campaigns profoundly affected and disrupted the lives of individuals and the region’s agricultural cycle. He is currently revising his dissertation for publication and preparing a new project on the notion of reliability in connection with technologies\, animals\, and seasonality in the Sino-Korean borderland of the early seventeenth century. \nSource: https://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/users/mhasegawa \n  \nImage: Qi Jiguang 戚繼光 (1528-1588)\, Lianbing shiji zaji 練兵實紀雜集 [Miscellaneous notes concerning military training]\, fascicle 6\, leaf 22.

SUMMARY:Film Screening & Discussion: 30 Years of Tian'anmen
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening & Discussion: 30 Years of Tian’anmen\nThe Gate of Heavenly Peace 天安门 (1995)\n  \n  \nTuesday 04.06.2019 6pm\nZHG105\, University of Göttingen \nDirected by: Carma Hinton\, Richard Gordon\, Geremie Barme\nLanguage: Chinese Dialogue\, English voiceover translation\, subtitles & narration \nThe Gate of Heavenly Peace is a three-hour documentary film about the 1989 protests at Tiananmen Square\, which culminated in the violent government crackdown on June 4. The film uses archival footage and contemporary interviews with a wide range of Chinese citizens\, including workers\, students\, intellectuals\, and government officials\, to revisit the events of “Beijing Spring.” From the beginning of the protests in mid-April to the night of June 3–4\, the film provides a “meticulous day-by-day chronicle of the six-week period… This unglamorous but absorbing film interweaves videotaped scenes of the demonstrations and conversations with leaders and participants with an explanatory narration into an account that is as clear-headed as it is thorough and well-organized.” \n  \nSource: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gate_of_Heavenly_Peace_(film)#cite_note-1 \nhttps://www.nytimes.com/1995/10/14/movies/film-festival-review-assessing-both-sides-in-tiananmen-square-massacre.html\nImage:tankman © Raimond Spekking / CC BY-SA 4.0 (via Wikimedia Commons) https://bit.ly/2M8b67m

SUMMARY:The 13th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 13th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon:\nMixed Identities in Northeast Chinese Borderlands: Koreans in Liaodong in the 15th to 17th centuries\n  \nPresenter: Hanning PIAO (Fudan University\, Shanghai)\nCommentators: Yan JIN (Department of East Asian Studies\, Göttingen) & Dr. Julia C. SCHNEIDER (Department of East Asian Studies\, Göttingen) \nTime: June 4\, 2019\, 4-6 pm\nVenue: KWZ 0.701 (meeting room\, Department of East Asian Studies) \n  \nAbstract: \nMigration has existed throughout the history of human beings\, affecting the identities of migrating peoples and the societies they migrate into. Before the world has been overwhelmed by modernization\, national states and globalization\, how did migratory people perceive themselves and how were they perceived by others? Were there clear boundaries between “Us” and “Them”\, “Self” and “Others”? Was identity pure and stable or mixed and fragile? \nIn my presentation\, I will discuss these questions by examining the case of Koreans who migrated to Liaodong in the 15th to 17th centuries. In case of the Korean migrants\, identities turn out to be unstable\, mixed and entangled. \n  \n \n(Image by Hanning Piao) \n  \nShort CV: \nSince 2017\, Hanning PIAO is a Master student at the Department of History\, Fudan University. She has been a guest student at the University of Pennsylvania and at Seoul National University.

SUMMARY:Film screening: Under the Dome 穹顶之下
DESCRIPTION:Film screening: \nUnder the Dome:Air pollution in China\n柴静雾霾调查：穹顶之下 同呼吸 共命运\n  \n  \nLecturer: Katja Pessl (University of Göttingen)\nTuesday\, 28.05.2019\, 6pm (c.t.) – 8 pm\, VG 3.104\, Göttingen \n  \nIntroduction: \nUnder the Dome  is a 2015 self-financed\, Chinese documentary film by Chai Jing\, a former China Central Television journalist\, concerning air pollution in China.\nChai Jing started making the documentary when her as yet unborn daughter developed a tumour in the womb\, which had to be removed very soon after her birth. Chai blames air pollution for the tumour. The film\, which combines footage of a lecture with interviews and factory visits\, has been compared with Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth in both its style and likely impact. The film openly criticises state-owned energy companies\, steel producers and coal factories\, as well as showing the inability of the Ministry of Environmental Protection to act against the big polluters. \n《穹顶之下》是由媒体人柴静于2015年2月底推出关于中国空气污染的一部调查片，由柴静作为主讲人对现状进行介绍，并插入采访拍摄的片段，呼吁人们关注中国的空气污染问题。\n主讲人柴静从2013年冬季，中国大陆东北以及华北地区的大面积雾霾说起，讨论中国大陆的空气污染、相关治理以及存在的行政不作为情况。亦提及了洛杉矶（曾经发生的光化学烟雾事件）和伦敦（曾发生伦敦烟雾事件）及两地现状。人民网版本将影片分作八节，介绍雾霾定义、危害及成因和我们怎么办、提出了公民能做的七点环保措施。 \nSource: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Dome_(film) \n  \n  \n  \nHosted by the Centre for Modern East Asian Studies (CeMEAS) in cooperation with the Academic Confucius Institute (ACI) and the Old Botanical Garden at the University of Göttingen. \n  \nImage: public poster\, https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/穹顶之下_(纪录片)

SUMMARY:CeMIG Lecture: Transnational Migration and Religious Conversion among North Korean Refugee-Migrants across Continents in Comparative Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:CeMIG Lecture: \nTransnational Migration and Religious Conversion among North Korean Refugee-Migrants across Continents in Comparative Perspectives\n  \n  \nJin-heon Jung\, Institute of Korean Studies in the Department of History and Cultural Studies\, Freie Universität Berlin\n22.05.2019\, 16:15-17:45\, VG 4.102 \n  \nAbstract: \nThis talk examines North Korean refugee-migrants’ religious encounters throughout their transnational migrations by way of China to South Korea\, North America\, and Europe in comparative perspectives. It investigates how some of them become voluntarily or involuntarily converted to Christianity\, and ordained as professional missionaries\, while others are indifferent\, critical to\, or disenchanted from the religion in the contexts of both national division and their host societies. Their conversion to Christianity is often depicted as a signifier of a sacred triumph over the “evil” socialist North in evangelical political discourses. Such evangelical churches and missionary networks have provided secret shelters\, broker-missionaries\, and the “Underground railways” in China and Southeast Asian countries to South Korea and other western countries. Overseas Korean ethnic churches serve for the individual refugees to resettle in the host society and the co-ethnic community. Based on more than a decade long follow-up research among North Korean refugee-migrants in different countries\, this talk aims to discuss the ways in which North Korean converted Christians develop and practice their own religiosities in the context of transnational migration and in envisioning post-division Korea. It sheds light on religion as a lens through which one can better understand how North Korean refugee-migrants negotiate senses of belonging and further claim to become “the chosen” rather than “helpless victims” in both secular and sacred terms. Moreover\, this talk analyzes the similarities and differences in practicing religiosities and the implications among North Korean communities in Germany\, England\, South Korea\, and North America respectively. \nThe talk is part of the CeMig lecture series on “Migration and Regimes of Migration Control: A Regional Comparison”. \nFor more information please visit the website: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/cemig+lecture+series+summer+term+2019/607157.html \n  \nImage: CeMig Lecture Series Summer Term 2019\, @CeMig

SUMMARY:Lecture: Reading as creative and social practice: Unofficial popular entertainment literature during the Cultural Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nReading as Creative and Social Practice: Unofficial Popular Entertainment Literature during the Cultural Revolution\n  \nJunProf. Dr. Lena Henningsen (Freiburg)\nTime: Monday\, 20 May 2019\, 4-6 pm\nVenue: KWZ 1.731\, 37073 Göttingen \nAbstract: \nMost literary histories of 20th-century China describe the output of the Cultural Revolution (CR) in a few paragraphs. Officially endorsed literary texts of the decade seem flat\, dull and boring to today’s readers. The CR thus appears as a period of literary shortage. However\, a more complicated picture of literary diversity arises once we look at actual literary practices: Chinese readers at the time were craving for things to read and went to great lengths to obtain reading materials. They would steal books from libraries; read literary texts from earlier epochs that were now forbidden; illegally read and copy material designated for internal circulation; write\, read\, copy and circulate entertainment literature by hand… \nIn this talk\, JunProf. Dr. Lena Henningsen will discuss this latter type of popular unofficial hand-written (shouchaoben) entertainment fiction from the perspective of reading practices and delineate the role that readers played in their creation\, circulation\, preservation and development. After all\, extant manuscripts attest to a great variety of versions of the “same” story: when copying texts\, many readers found ways to alter\, enhance or change extant stories. Resembling fan-fiction practices in many ways\, they offered readers space to probe into their literary talents and creativity\, to ponder their experiences during the CR\, to question the ideals of Maoism\, and to test new notions of love or the self. \n  \nOrganised and hosted by: Department of East Asian Studies\nCo-hosted and financed by: Academic Confucius Institute \n  \nImage by Lena Henningsen

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture Series: Defining a Green APP: Civic Tech\, Digital Activism and Visions of Public Participation
DESCRIPTION:China’s Green Transformation – CeMEAS Lecture Series:\nDefining a Green APP: Civic Tech\, Digital Activism and Visions of Public Participation\n  \n  \n  \nLi Hongtao 李红涛 (Zhegjiang University)\nTime: Tuesday\, 14.05.2019\, 6 pm-8 pm\nVenue: VG 3.104\, University of Göttingen \nAbstract  \nWith smog now constituting part of the daily health threats for Chinese people\, many pollution tracking APPs have come into the market to meet the demand for smog related information. Taking one particular APP- “BlueSky Map”\, which is originally known as Pollution Map\, as the focal case\, this talk will explore how grassroots activists define\, legitimize and employ such APPs as useful tools\, which enable the general public to get informed\, make their voices heard\, and take necessary actions. The empirical analysis will focus on how environmental APPs empower Chinese public\, how do citizens\, NGOs\, government and polluters interact on the interface\, and what is the effect and implication of such participation for China’s environmental governance. \nShort CV \nDr. Hongtao Li (李红涛) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Journalism & Communication and a Distinguished Young Scholar at Zhejiang University. He also serves as an Associate Professor (20%) in the Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages at University of Oslo. He received his Ph.D. in Communication from City University of Hong Kong in February 2010. Before joining Zhejiang University in May 2010\, he was a post-doctoral fellow and later a visiting Assistant Professor in the Center for Communication Research at City U of Hong Kong. His research interests include air pollution and environmental politics\, global communication\, sociology of news\, media and cultural memory. He has published a book on the mediated memory of Nanjing Massacre (Renmin University Press\, 2017) and his work appears regularly on major English and Chinese journals\, including The China Quarterly\, Communication and the Public\, Media\, Culture & Society\, International Journal of Press/Politics\, Asian Journal of Communication\, Chinese Journal of Communication\, and Communication & Society (in Chinese)\, etc.\n(Source: Personal Homepage\, Zhejiang University) \n  \n  \n  \nCeMEAS Lecture Series 2019: China’s Green Transformation\nOrganizer: CeMEAS\nSponsor: Akademischen Konfuzius-Instituts Göttingen\nPartner: Alter Botanischer Garten der Universität Göttingen \n  \nImage: CC BY-SA 2.0.\, michael davis-burchat\, mobile moment of worship\, https://flic.kr/p/cacewm
