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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture Series 2018: The BRICS and Collective Financial Statecraft
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Series 2018:\nThe BRICS and Collective Financial Statecraft\n  \nSaori Katada (University of Southern California)\n Tuesday\, June 12\, 6pm (c.t.)\, VG 3.103 \nAbstract:\nIn the first decade of the 21st century\, five rising powers (Brazil\, Russia\, India\, China\, and South Africa) formed an exclusive and informal international club\, the BRICS.  Although neither revolutionaries nor extreme revisionists\, the BRICS perceive an ongoing global power shift and contest the West’s pretensions to permanent stewardship of the existing economic order. Together they have exercised collective financial statecraft\, employing their expanding financial and monetary capabilities for the purpose of achieving larger foreign policy goals. This volume examines the forms and strategies of such collective financial statecraft\, and the motivations of each individual government for collaborating through the BRICS club. Their cooperative financial statecraft takes various forms\, ranging from pressure for “inside reforms” of either multilateral institutions or global markets\, to “outside options” exercised through creating new multilateral institutions or jointly pushing for new realities in international financial markets. To the surprise of many observers\, the joint actions of the BRICS are largely successful.  Although each member has its unique rationale for collaboration\, the largest member\, China\, controls resources that permit it the greatest influence in intra-club decision-making. The BRICS cooperate due to both common aversions (for example\, resentment over being perennial junior partners in global economic and financial governance and resistance to infringements on their autonomy due to U.S. dollar dominance and financial power) and common interests (such as obtaining greater voice in international institutions\, as the IMF). The group seeks reforms\, influence\, and enhanced leadership roles within the liberal capitalist global system. Where blocked\, they experiment with parallel multilateral institutions in which they are the dominant rule-makers. The future of the BRICS depends not only on their bargaining power and adjustment to market players\, but also on their ability to overcome domestic impediments to sustainable economic growth\, the basis for their international influence. \n  \n  \nPrimary Organizer: CeMEAS\nCo-Hosts: Department of East Asian Studies\, Department of Political Science\, Global and Transregional Studies Platform\nSponsors: Academic Confucius Institute (Qin Yaqing & Liu Kang)\, Department of East Asian Studies\, Department of Political Science\, CeMEAS \n
