SUMMARY:Lecture: Leigh Jenco: The Ming-Qing Transition as a Philosophical Problem
DESCRIPTION:The Ming-Qing Transition as a Philosophical Problem\nLeigh Jenco\nProfessor of Political Theory\, London School of Economics\, Department of Government\n \n  \n\nDec 3\, 2021 04:00 PM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nFor registration\, please use this zoom link.    \nAbstract:\nThe transition from the Ming dynasty to the Qing dynasty was not experienced as a sharp break for those who lived through it\, but it has come to stand in the minds of later Chinese literati as nothing less than an existential crisis for Chinese identity—both driving and driven by a shift in intellectual perspective that emerged in the early years of Qing consolidation. Many educated literati retrospectively blamed the fall of the Ming on the abstruse philosophizing that preoccupied followers of Wang Yangming\, a sixteenth-century statesman\, frontier general and philosopher whose rejection of state-sponsored Confucian orthodoxy rode a wave of interest in metaphysical speculation about the sources of moral knowledge. In its place—just as the government policy adapted from an inward-looking\, Han-dominated state to a cosmopolitan\, expansionist inner Asian empire—seventeenth- and eighteenth-century literati turned their attention to the historical and philological verification of classic texts\, inaugurating the “evidential learning” (kaozheng) that twentieth-century Chinese reformers would see as proof of an indigenous\, modern “scientific spirit.” In this paper I argue that such divisions obscure from view the extent to which the Manchu victory and the territorial consolidation that followed continued the strong parallels that marked both Chinese and European societies in early modernity. There are thus important philosophical consequences for periodizing the Chinese early modern period as an abrupt transition from “Ming to Qing” or “philosophy to philology”. I use my current research to offer examples of these consequences. Specifically\, I argue that characterizing this time period in terms of a rupture between dynasties\, rather than as a more general epoch of early modernity\, leaves us unable to assess philosophically the ways in which ideas and practices thematized by scholars of Yangming learning enabled particular kinds of discourse about human difference to take shape\, and in turn how empirical information about human kinds generated by Ming-era territorial expansion\, travel and commerce was fed back into philosophical thinking about moral possibility and the textual tradition that articulated it. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n\n  \nOrganizers: \n\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \n.\nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Book presentation: “Borderland Infrastructures: Trade\, Development\, and Control in Western China”
DESCRIPTION:Borderland Infrastructures: Trade\, Development\, and Control in Western China\nAlessandro Rippa (Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society\, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München)\n  \nTuesday\, December 7\, 18:15 \nhttps://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/j/96044733388?pwd=YU1HbkVnam5CbmZGdXNzeHlWOVJMdz09\nMeeting ID 960 4473 3388\nPasscode 948177 \n\nABSTRACT: Across the Chinese borderlands\, investments in large-scale transnational infrastructure such as roads and special economic zones have increased exponentially over the past two decades. Based on long-term ethnographic research\, Borderland Infrastructures addresses a major contradiction at the heart of this fast-paced development: small-scale traders have lost their historic strategic advantages under the growth of massive Chinese state investment and are now struggling to keep their businesses afloat. Concurrently\, local ethnic minorities have become the target of radical resettlement projects\, securitization\, and tourism initiatives\, and have in many cases grown increasingly dependent on state subsidies. At the juncture of anthropological explorations of the state\, border studies\, and research on transnational trade and infrastructure development\, Borderland Infrastructures provides new analytical tools to understand how state power is experienced\, mediated\, and enacted in Xinjiang and Yunnan. \n\nMore information and a link to the PDF of the book which is fully Open Access:\nhttps://www.aup.nl/en/book/9789463725606/borderland-infrastructures\n\nSHORT BIO: Alessandro is a social anthropologist interested in issues surrounding infrastructure\, borders\, globalisation\, conservation and the environment\, particularly in the contexts of the China-Myanmar borderlands and the Italian Alps. He is the author of Borderland Infrastructures: Trade\, Development\, and Control in Western China (Amsterdam University Press\, 2020) and of numerous articles in journals such as Social Anthropology\, The China Journal\, Political Geography\, and Ethnos. Alessandro obtained his PhD in Social Anthropology at the University of Aberdeen in 2015\, and held postdoctoral positions at LMU Munich and at the University of Colorado\, Boulder. He is currently based at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society\, LMU Munich\, where he leads the 5-year project Environing Infrastructure (www.environing.asia) funded by a “freigeist” fellowship from the Volkswagen Foundation. Alessandro is currently on leave from his position as Associate Professor of Chinese Studies at Tallinn University.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #5 Reshaping Global Industrial Chains: Options for China
DESCRIPTION:Reshaping Global Industrial Chains: Options for China\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n\n\nSpeaker\nDr Qiyuan Xu\, Institute of World Economics and Politics (IWEP) at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)\nProf. Dr. Rolf J. Langhammer\, Former Vice-President\, Kiel Institute for the World Economy \nTime: 16.12.2021\, 11.00 – 12:00 \nPlease register here. \nTopic\nThe current highly specialized and interconnected global industrial chains are highly vulnerable to global risks such as the intensifying trade protectionism and the covid-19 pandemic. This has induced policymakers in many countries in the world to explore the possibilities to restructure their countries’ industrial chains\, emphasizing the need for more local and regional inputs to better ensure national economic self-sufficiency. China as the world export champion was responsible for almost 15% of global exports of goods in 2020\, almost the same as the corresponding shares of the USA (8.1%) and Germany (7.8%) combined. Meanwhile\, China’s position in the global value chain is facing many challenges and uncertainties. What options does China have to restructure and strengthen its industrial chains? How may China’s decisions affect the future development of the global industrial chains? How can other global players such as the European Union deal with the challenges caused and grasp the opportunities that have arisen in the evolving global industrial chains? \nProgram \nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #5 will be held in English. \n\n\n\nLiterature\nThe impulse lectures refer to the following publications: \nCASS-IWEP & CF40 Forum Report (2021)\, Reshaping Global Industrial Chinas: Options for China: Executive Summary (in Chinese) \nSeric\, A.\, Görg\, H.\, Liu\, W.-H.\, and Windisch\, M.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Peter Zarrow: The Utopian Impulse and Chinese Political Modernity
DESCRIPTION:The Utopian Impulse and Chinese Political Modernity\nPeter Zarrow\nDepartment of History\, University of Connecticut\, Hartford\, USA\n \n  \n  \n  \nTime:  Dec 17\, 2021 04:00 PM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nFor registration\, please use this zoom link.  \n  \nThis paper discusses the role played by utopian “moves” that were made by political thinkers in the late Qing and Republican periods to build a new more or less democratic and socialist nation. An analysis of four case studies—Kang Youwei\, Cai Yuanpei\, Chen Duxiu\, and Hu Shi—reveals distinct but overlapping visions of political modernity. On one level\, these were blurry visions of political modernity directly and indirectly derived from Western discourses\, particularly those of the Enlightenment. But on another level\, Chinese thinkers can be read as making dialogic contributions to evolving notions of political modernity in cosmopolitan spaces across the twentieth century and beyond. \n  \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n\n  \nOrganizers: \n\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \n.\nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd\n  \n  \n  \n  \n
