SUMMARY:Joint Zoom Lecture: Making the World Safe for Dictatorship: Authoritarian Image Management in Contemporary China and North Korea
DESCRIPTION:Making the World Safe for Dictatorship: Authoritarian Image Management in Contemporary China and North Korea\n  \nDr Alexander Dukalskis\, School of Politics and International Relations at University College Dublin\, Ireland\nDate: Thursday\, 4 March 2021\nTime: 3:00-4:30 pm (Dublin time)/16:00-17:30 (CET)\nPlease register in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwsc-2sqj4jGN1IjSpNxZbsvyuIxEGI9MHP\nOrganizers:\nDepartment of Asian Studies at UCC and the Centre of Modern East Asian Studies at the University of Göttingen  \n \nAuthoritarian states work hard to manage their images abroad. They invest in foreign-facing media\, hire public relations firms\, tout their popular celebrities\, and showcase their successes to elite and popular foreign audiences. However\, there is a dark side to these efforts that is sometimes overlooked. Authoritarian states try to obscure or censor bad news about their governments and often discredit their critics abroad. In extreme cases\, authoritarian states intimidate\, physically attack\, or even murder their opponents overseas. This talk will be about how authoritarian states manage their image abroad using both “promotional” tactics of persuasion and “obstructive” tactics of repression.  Dukalskis will look at the tactics that authoritarian states use for image management and the ways in which their strategies vary from one state to another. After providing an overview of the argument\, the lecture will examine in detail two cases of authoritarian image management. First\, it will discuss the global and multifaceted image management of contemporary China\, ranging from controlling the narrative by clamping down on foreign correspondents\, to Beijing’s external propaganda\, to its attempts to silence critics abroad. Second\, the lecture will widen its temporal scope to explore North Korea’s efforts since the 1950s up to today to craft an appealing image of itself among the ethnic Korean population in Japan. The lecture\, based on the author’s forthcoming book Making the World Safe for Dictatorship\, will draw on a diverse array of data\, including interviews\, cross-national data on extraterritorial repression\, examination of public relations filings with the United States government\, analysis of authoritarian propaganda\, media frequency analysis\, and speeches and statements by authoritarian leaders. \n \nAlexander Dukalskis is an Associate Professor in the School of Politics and International Relations at University College Dublin. He is also a 2020-21 Woodrow Wilson Center China Fellow and an associate editor at Communist & Post-Communist Studies. His research and teaching interests include authoritarianism\, Asian politics\, and human rights. His work has been published in several leading journals\, including Government & Opposition\, Review of International Studies\, Journal of Democracy\, Journal of Peace Research\, and Democratization. His first book\, The Authoritarian Public Sphere: Legitimation and Autocratic Power in North Korea\, Burma\, and China\, was published in 2017.  His second book Making the World Safe for Dictatorship\, will be published by Oxford University Press in April 2021.\n \nPicture: Roman Harak: North Korea - View from China.

SUMMARY:Online Theater Workshop: “Contemporary Theater Performance” Seminar Series No. 3
DESCRIPTION:“Contemporary Theater Performance” Seminar Series No. 3\nTransnational Chinese Theatres: Aesthetics\, Politics\, Methods \n  \nTime: March 18\, 2021 CET 2:00 PM-3:30 PM \nZoom Link: https://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/j/92404610446?pwd=T2ZRT2oyNkVSMXQ2UjRMVjZCVGp0QT09 \nMeeting ID: 924 0461 0446 \nPasscode: 709758 \nAbstract  \nHow can we rethink Chinese-language theatres from the perspective of the transnational? What are the advantages of looking at the performance cultures of the Chinese-speaking world through a trans-Asian lens? What can the “trans-” signify in the performances of the Sinophone? Unlike the field of Sinophone cinemas\, where “trans-” approaches\, particularly the transnational\, have been debated widely\, there has not yet been a comprehensive theoretical reflection of the agentive implications of trans-ing for the performances of the contemporary Sinosphere\, including the performances of memory. Based on the recent monograph\, Transnational Chinese Theatres: Intercultural Performance Networks in East Asia (Palgrave\, 2020)\, this talk will introduce the notion of transnational Chinese theatres as a practice and method of performance collaboration constituted by mobile networks of relations. Transnational Chinese theatres present a performative inflection of notions of minor transnationalism and inter-Asian referencing – or (trans-)Asia as method – which foregrounds collaboration as a generative site of counter-memory and transgressive imagination. An overview of recent transnational networks and works originating within the East Asian Sinosphere will show how collaborative practice can mobilize multiple dimensions of the “trans-” – transmediality\, translingualism\, translation\, transcoloniality – to reconstitute Sinophone performance cultures as platforms for transgressively reconfiguring the nation and enabling the collective memorialization of contested national histories through transnational comparison. \nBio \nRossella Ferrari is Professor of Chinese Studies in the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Vienna\, Austria. Her main expertise is in the performance cultures of the Chinese-speaking world. Her research interests include avant-garde studies\, intercultural performance\, intermediality\, adaptation\, memory studies\, and transnational and inter-Asian approaches to the study of Sinophone cultural production. She is the author of Pop Goes the Avant-Garde: Experimental Theatre in Contemporary China (2012) and Transnational Chinese Theatres: Intercultural Performance Networks in East Asia (2020)\, and the co-editor of Asian City Crossings: Pathways of Performance through Hong Kong and Singapore (forthcoming 2021). \nOrganizer \nYing Ming Theater  \nSponsors \nThe Center for Modern East Asian Studies at the University of Göttingen \nThe Academic Confucius Institute in Göttingen
