SUMMARY:Contemporary Theater Art Seminar Series 11: Performing the Socialist State
DESCRIPTION:Performing the Socialist State \nSpeaker: Professor Xiaomei CHEN \nTime: May 4\, California 7:00 AM\, Wednesday\, Göttingen 4:00 PM\, Beijing 10:00 PM \nZoom Meeting: https://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/j/95966904122 \nMeeting ID: 959 6690 4122 \nLanguage: English \nPoster: Nathalie Morenings \n\n\n\nContent \nThe lecture offers a quick overview of Xiaomei Chen’s forthcoming book\, Performing the Socialist State: Moments\, Crisis and Success of Modern Chinese Theater (Columbia University Press\, 2022). It begins with the theatrical achievements of Tian Han\, Hong Shen\, and Ouyang Yuqian\, three founders of spoken drama\, and asks how their legacies in the Republican period played important roles in constructing socialist theater. She will demonstrate how these multi-faceted leaders provided the blueprints for the Maoist theater in the PRC\, contrary to the conventional claim that the PRC theater is a total break-away from the Republican period. To this end and in this context\, she will reflect on the continuities with the performing culture in the Republican period through examinations of “Rightist satirical comedies” in the 1950s\, women’s theater and film “red classic” in the 1960s\, scientists on stage in the Maoist and post-Maoist periods\, and soldiers in the transformation from the Republican\, to the socialist\, and finally\, to the post-socialist stage. She will also explore the relationship between science and theater\, music and theater\, and artists and their collective identities as “new cultural workers.” \nShort Bio\nXiaomei Chen is a Distinguished Professor at the University of California at Davis where she teaches modern Chinese literature\, film\, and theater. She is the author of Occidentalism (1995)\, Acting the Right Part (2002)\, and Staging Chinese Revolution (2016). She is the editor of Reading the Right Text (2003) and Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Drama (2010) and co-editor\, with Claire Sponsler\, of East of West: Cross-Cultural Performances and the Staging of Difference (2000)”; with Julia Andrew\, of Visual Culture in Contemporary China (2001)\, with Steven Siouan Liu\, Hong Shen and the Modern Mediasphere in Republican-Era China (2016)\, and with Tarryn Chun and Siyuan Liu\, Rethinking Socialist Theater Reform (2021). \nFurther information: https://yingmingtheater.com/seminar-series-no-11/\n\nOrganizer \n哥廷根大学东亚系 \n\n南京大学戏剧影视文学系 \n\n\nPartner \n哥廷根大学现代东亚研究中心 \n\n哥廷根大学嘤鸣戏剧社 \n\n哥廷根大学学术孔子学院 \n\n哥廷根中国学生学者联合会

SUMMARY:Lecture: Push and Pull: Toward a Taylorian Theory of Alternative Modernities
DESCRIPTION:Push and Pull: Toward a Taylorian Theory of Alternative Modernities\nJustin Ritzinger\, Associate Professor of Religious Studies\,\nUniversity of Miami\n  \nMay 6\, 2022\, 4 PM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n Religion occupies a vexed position in many visions of modernity. It stands as the embodiment of “tradition\,” of the nonmodern\, of the irrational. It is thus presumed to be condemned to a shrinking sphere of social and cultural life. This has typically been construed as a “challenge” to which religion must “adapt” lest it face extinction. This adaptation typically includes demythologization\, rationalization\, and social engagement. Such understandings of modernization\, which I term “push models\,” are useful but insufficient. They fail to account not only for religion’s continuing hold on the hearts of many but also the inspiration modernity gave to many modernizing figures. This talk will offer a counterbalancing “pull model\,” drawing upon the account of moral frameworks in Sources of the Self to develop a Taylorian theory of the formulation of alternative modernities. Illustrated with reference to developments in religion in Republican China\, this theory may offer new angles for understanding this process in other areas of cultures as well. \nJustin Ritzinger is associate professor of Religious Studies at the University of Miami. He received his PhD in the Study of Religion from Harvard in 2010. His work focuses on modern and contemporary Chinese Buddhism. He is the author of a monograph on the reinvention of the cult of Maitreya\, entitled Anarchy in the Pure Land\, and articles dealing with eschatology\, engagements with evolutionary theory\, and international monastic exchange\, as well as tourist development in the contemporary People’s Republic. He is currently working on an ethnographic study of a blue-collar lay Buddhist group in Taiwan. At the University of Miami\, Ritzinger teaches courses in Asian religions. \n. \n.\nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\n\nOrganizers:\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. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #10 The Race for Technology Sovereignty: The Case of Government Support in the Semiconductor Industry
DESCRIPTION:The Race for Technology Sovereignty: The Case of Government Support in the Semiconductor Industry\n.\n\nMay 19\, 2022\, 11:00 – 12:00 CEST\nOnline on Zoom: Please register here.\n.\nSpeakers\nSophia Helmrich (PhD)\, Federation of German Industries (BDI)\nChristian Steidl\, OECD\nJehan Sauvage\, OECD\n\n.\n\n\n\nGlobal semiconductor shortages that turned particularly critical amid the COVID-19 pandemic\, have affected a wide range of industries worldwide with the suffering of the automobile industry being the most prominent example. The lack of chips has thus forced carmakers\, amongst others\, to temporarily downscale their production. Customers and consumers need to wait for a much longer time for their desired products in which chips are nowadays used as key components. The shortages of semiconductors have raised\, however\, not only economic but also national security concerns for the reason that chips are becoming indispensable for many devices and tools used in cloud\, space\, and for defense and connectivity purposes. Chips are thus considered by many policymakers as strategic assets where their countries need to strive for technology sovereignty. While the Chinese government has provided substantial support for years to help develop an indigenous and vertically integrated semiconductor industry\, the EU Commission launched the Industrial Alliance on Processors and Semiconductors in 2021 and proposed in February 2022 its European Chips Act to strengthen Europe’s technological leadership in the semiconductor industry. \nHow has the Chinese government supported the development of the semiconductor industry in China? How different was/is China’s government semiconductor support from other countries? Can policy implications and lessons be derived from their experiences? What would be the challenges for the EU Commission’s proposals to ensure the supply\, resilience and technological sovereignty in semiconductor technologies and applications in the EU? \nLiterature\nOECD (2019)\, OECD Trade Policy Paper No. 234\, Measuring distortions in international markets: The semiconductor value chain  \nBDI (2022)\, BDI Position European Chips Act  \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSophia Helmrich \nSophia Helmrich (PhD) is responsible for the topics of semiconductors\, quantum technologies and research data in the area of digitization and innovation at the Federation of German Industries (BDI). In addition\, she is responsible for the BDI/BDA committee for research\, innovation and technology policy and oversees the key technologies in particular. Previously\, she worked on the President’s staff at the headquarters of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft for strategic science and innovation issues. Miss Dr. Helmrich has a doctorate in physics in the field of nonlinear optics and semiconductor systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJehan Sauvage  \nJehan Sauvage currently serves as a Policy Analyst in the Trade and Agriculture Directorate of the OECD\, where he specialises in questions related to market distortions and government subsidies in industrial sectors. Prior to holding that position\, he also served as Counsellor in the office of the OECD’s Director for Trade and Agriculture and as Policy Analyst in the OECD’s trade and environment team. In this latter capacity\, he has conducted several studies on topics such as cross-border electricity markets and trade in environmental goods and services. He was also a lead author of the OECD’s Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels\, spearheading early OECD efforts to identify and quantify government support for energy products. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristian Steidl  \nChristian Steidl is a Policy Analyst at the OECD\, working on the analysis of various forms of government support for industrial companies.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Conservative Radicalism: Watsuji Tetsuro’s Critique of Civil Society and Its Implications for Chinese Intellectual History
DESCRIPTION:Conservative Radicalism: Watsuji Tetsuro’s Critique of Civil Society and Its Implications for Chinese Intellectual History\nViren Murthy\, Associate Professor of History\,\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison\n\n  \nMay 20\, 2022\, 12:00 PM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 0.610 (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \nSince the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, as the Meiji state quickly modernized\, Japanese intellectuals confronted the atomization and alienation associated with new forms of labor in civil society. Unlike in the family\, where affective bonds govern human action\, in civil society\, people ventured into the world as purposive individuals entering into wage-contracts\, which forced them into a means-end relationship. While scholars have dealt with attempts to overcome modernity twentieth century Japan\, few have focused on the how the ideal of the family served as a trope to reconcile the antagonism between the individual and the community. The Japanese philosopher\, Watsuji Tetsuro (1889-1960) critically drew on Hegel’s conception of the family to attack civil society. While his critique is clearly conservative\, I argue that his position overlaps with leftist treatments of modern alienation and reveals the contradictions between spheres of the family and civil society. Watsuji develops his position in an essay written in the 1930s on the city\, where he translates the civil society (bürgerliche Gesellschaft) as “interest society (rieki shakai)”\, a sphere where people pursue personal gain. In response to this\, he advocates rekindling to older forms of society\, where work and family are not so clearly severed. Towards the end of my presentation\, I examine the implications of Watsuji’s critique of urban life for the study of Chinese intellectual history. Specifically\, in both contexts\, my study suggests that we at times blur the lines between radical and conservative because they often have a similar object of critique\, namely capitalism\, which they each grasp with varying degrees of success. \nViren Murthy teaches transnational Asian History and researches Chinese and Japanese intellectual history in the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \n  \n.\nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\n\n\nOrganizers:\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. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Lecture: Understanding the Alienated Self: The Interest in and Problematization of the Village in the Post May-Fourth Period 认识被化外的自我：后五四时期对乡村的关注和农村的问题化
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the Alienated Self: The Interest in and Problematization of the Village in the Post May-Fourth Period 认识被化外的自我：后五四时期对乡村的关注和农村的问题化\nLuo Zhitian 罗志田 (Distinguished Professor)\, History Department\, Sichuan University\nMay 27\, 2022\, 10:00 AM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link.\nThe lecture will be held in Chinese.  \n乡村曾被视为中国社会与文化的基础，在近代改称“农村”后，逐渐被认为出了问题。农村怎样成为“问题”及其所成的“问题”本身，既伴随着中国现代性展开的进程，也因其间的“现代”眼光所生成。这背后的一个要因，是城市的兴起和城乡的对立。由于城市被视为国家的主体，原来作为广土众民代表的乡村逐渐沦为化外，不复能表述自己。在五四后出现一种读书人想要了解自己国家的倾向，先是开始关注已近于未知的农村，观感褒贬参半；接着是被关注者逐渐问题化，见解贬多于褒；最后是问题化的农村升级为“破产”或“崩溃”，表述以贬为主。其间一个重要特点，是一些人因缺乏了解而把常态看成变态，甚至把国家整体的危难移植到农村身上。 \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n.\nOrganizers:\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. \nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd
