SUMMARY:Lecture: Building a New Chinese State from the Northwest: The Proposal of Liu Guangfen (1843-1903)
DESCRIPTION:Building a New Chinese State from the Northwest: The Proposal of Liu Guangfen (1843-1903)\nOng Chang Woei 王昌偉 (Professor of Chinese Studies)\, Department of Chinese Studies\, National University of Singapore\n  \nJune 3\, 2022\, 10:00 AM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nIn the beginning of his book Origins of the Modern Chinese State\, Kuhn asks\, “What is Chinese about China’s modern state?” The answer\, Kuhn explains\, is not to be found by supposing that there some distinctive cultural qualities that will ensure that “China will always be China.” Rather\, it is to be found by probing how the Chinese in the recent past dealt with what he calls “constitutional issues” that had already presented themselves before the West made its impact felt. Using Liu Guangfen 劉光蕡 (1843-1903) as a case study\, I would like to ask a follow-up question: “What is northwestern about China’s modern state?” My assumption is that whatever “Chinese” problems that existed could be better understood if we take the regional perceptions of such problems into consideration. In this talk\, I will demonstrate that Liu Guangfen’s vision of building a modern Chinese state allows us to examine how the concern over nation-state building was shaped by regional experiences. I will also try to show that by studying a particular regional version of “Chinese” nation-state\, we can learn something important about the dynamics that shape the quest for a strong nation-state in modern China in general. \nChang Woei ONG is Professor of Chinese Studies at the National University of Singapore. He specializes in the intellectual history of middle period China and is the author of Men of Letters within the Passes: Guanzhong Literati in Chinese History\, 907-1911 (2008) and Li Mengyang\, the North-South Divide and Literati Learning in Ming China (2016)\, both published by Harvard University Asia Center. \n\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\n

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Creativeness of Modern Chinese Conservative Thinkers 王汎森: 近代保守思想家的創造性
DESCRIPTION:The Creativeness of Modern Chinese Conservative Thinkers 王汎森: 近代保守思想家的創造性\nWang Fan-sen 王汎森 (Academician\, Distinguished Research Fellow)\, Institute for History and Philology\, Academia Sinica\n  \nJune 10\, 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 \n近代中國保守思想家中至少可以區分成兩類，第一類是本能地反對任何改變現狀的思想，第二類是回到一個重要的思想基盤（如宋明理學、大乘佛學）上戰鬥。在這次演講中，我想討論第二類思想家，以宋育仁（1859-1931）、熊十力（1885-1968）、唐文治（1865-1954）、劉咸炘（1896-1932）、錢穆（1895-1990）等人為例，討論一個思想史上的問題：當晚清以來的新派一直在變的時候，反對或批評他們的人，其實也一直在變換他們的言論，同時也變換他們對傳統的解釋，以便對應挑戰。\n此外，我在比較仔細地審視他們的思路之後，認為他們不只是「回到本來」的樣子，而是有一個微妙的新創過程。譬如他們有時候會用「提高一格法」，把儒家思想，尤其是宋明理學，作一種新的調整、詮釋。借用卡夫卡的話：「當你凝視深淵時，深淵也在凝視你」。 \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

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #11: Can China achieve its 2022 GDP growth target of 5.5%?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversations #11\nCan China achieve its 2022 GDP growth target of 5.5%?\nJune 16\, 2022\, 2pm – 3pm CEST\nOnline via Zoom: Please register here. \nSpeakers:\nProf. Dr. Helge Berger\, IMF\nProf. Dr. Justin Yifu Lin\, Peking University\n \nIn early March\, China announced its ambitious economic growth target of 5.5% for 2022. Over the past two months\, however\, both the national and the global economic environments became even more challenging for China to achieve this development goal. The unprecedentedly strict\, large-scale and long-lasting lockdowns in Shanghai and other cities in China have strongly restricted normal business operations\, compounded supply chain disruptions and weighed down spending on consumption. Global economic pressure has increased too. The war in Ukraine has slowed the global economic recovery and fueled global inflation. \nDespite these challenges\, some Chinese experts are convinced that achieving the GDP growth target is still possible with effective counter-cyclical policy measures and if China can succeed in its dynamic Null-Covid policy soon. On the contrary\, experts from the West are now even more pessimistic than before. In April\, the IMF\, for example\, again downgraded China’s economic growth forecast for this year to only 4.4%. \nWhy are there so different economic forecasts for China? Do experts from China and abroad assess the relevance of economic challenges for China\, the Chinese government’s policy latitude or the strength/weakness of the Chinese economy differently? What kind of role do international trade and foreign investments play for China to achieve (or not) its GDP growth target? What can China and the Chinese government still do to support its economic development? \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nProf. Dr. Helge Berger  \nHelge Berger is the IMF’s China mission chief and Assistant Director in the IMF’s Asia and Pacific Department. He is also an adjunct professor of monetary economics at Free University of Berlin. He was educated in Munich\, Germany\, where he received his PhD and the venia legendi for economics. Previously\, he taught at Princeton University as a John Foster Dulles Visiting Lecturer\, helped to coordinate the Munich-based CESifo network as its research director\, and served as a full professor (tenured) at Free University Berlin. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nProf. Dr. Justin Yifu Lin  \nJustin Yifu Lin is Dean of the Institute of New Structural Economics\, Dean of the Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development and Professor and Honorary Dean of the National School of Development at Peking University.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Chinese Intellectuals’ Rethinking of Science\, Religion and Superstition in the 20th Century: From Yan Fu\, Liang Qichao to New Confucians
DESCRIPTION:Chinese Intellectuals’ Rethinking of Science\, Religion and Superstition in the 20th Century: From Yan Fu\, Liang Qichao to New Confucians\nHuang Ko-wu 黃克武\n(Academician\, Distinguished Research Fellow)\nInstitute of Modern History\, Academia Sinica\n\n  \nJune 17\, 2022\, 10:00 AM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link.\nThis lecture will be held in Chinese. \n  \nLate Qing and early Republican China has been regarded as a “secularized” age that ended “the era of classical learning” and opened the door to an empirical\, scientific search for knowledge. With the progress of secularization\, science gradually established its authoritative status. Thinkers of the May Fourth period\, such as Hu Shi and Chen Duxiu\, held science in high esteem and emphasized a clear-cut definition of science and superstition. To them\, religions were superstitions that needed to be eliminated. This led to many debates. There were two famous debates in the early Republican period. One was the spiritualism debate and the other was the science and metaphysics debate. The latter was influenced by the former in terms of vocabulary and issues. This lecture will describe these two debates and use Yan Fu and Liang Qichao as two examples to illustrate their views on science\, religion and superstition. Their views had a very complex origin. They attempted to rely on traditional spiritual resources to bridge East and West in order to build the moral and intellectual foundation needed for a modern state. New Confucians such as Tang Junyi and Mou Zongsan inherited the legacy of Yan and Liang. They resisted May Fourth scientism and anti-traditionalism\, and thought more deeply about the serious issue of how Chinese tradition and Western modernity should converge. \n清末民初的中國常常被認為是一個「世俗化」的過程，它結束了「經學時代」，開啟了經驗主義的科學時代。本講座以嚴復與梁啟超對科學、宗教與迷信等觀念的思索，來反省近代中國世俗化的問題。嚴復與梁啟超是近代中國引介民主與科學的先驅。嚴復所翻譯的《天演論》帶來了一個新的宇宙觀，而梁啟超受到嚴復影響，也對新學的引介發揮重要的作用。五四時期新舊人物均受到嚴、梁的影響，然而嚴、梁卻走出一條與五四新文化運動的支持者，如胡適與陳獨秀等人不同的思路。他們不主張科學與宗教（即迷信）的矛盾，反而強調，科學有其限度、宗教有其價值，而科學與宗教的發展將導致迷信的衰微。這一套想法一方面源自於赫胥黎的「不可知論」，另一方面則由於他們以易經與佛教來詮釋新的宇宙觀，並肯定「孝」的宗教意義。這一種以傳統思想資源來貫通中西的想法為港台新儒家，如熊十力、唐君毅和牟宗三等所繼承。他們極力抵制五四科學主義和反傳統主義，更深入地思考中國傳統和西方現代應該如何融合的嚴肅問題。 \nDr. Max K. W. Huang was born in Taipei\, Taiwan in 1957. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in History from Nation Taiwan Normal University. He subsequently pursued his studies in the United Kingdom and the United States\, receiving a second master’s degree from Oxford University and his Ph. D degree from Stanford University. He is a distinguished research fellow at the Institute of Modern History\, Academia Sinica. His major fields are Ming-Qing studies and Modern Chinese intellectual history. He has published ten books and more than 100 articles. Dr. Huang’s most recent book is Yan Fu: The Man Who Enlightened China with His Pen (筆醒山河：中國近代啟蒙人嚴復\, 廣西師範大學出版社，2022年). \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

SUMMARY:Lecture: What is to be Done? Literature and History in China's Revolutionary Twentieth-Century
DESCRIPTION:What is to be Done? Literature and History in China’s Revolutionary Twentieth-Century\nRebecca Karl\nProfessor of History\, New York University\n  \nJune 24\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 0.607 (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nThis talk will address the problem of literary and historical narrative in China’s twentieth century. Revolutionary time is a particular kind of time\, requiring different kinds of narrative. In an analytical pass through a century of narrativizations/re-narrativizations\, the talk will examine how successive revolutionaries and writers attempted to answer the constantly posed and re-posed radical question of “what is to be done” (shto delats? 怎么办?). \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
