SUMMARY:Lecture: Modern Alienation and its Antidotes: Strategies from Early 20th Chinese Buddhist Intellectuals
DESCRIPTION:Modern Alienation and its Antidotes: Strategies from Early 20th Chinese Buddhist Intellectuals\nEyal Aviv\nAssistant Professor of Religion\, Department of Religion\, George Washington University\n  \nJuly 01\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 2.739 (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nIntellectuals\, such as Nietzsche\, Weber\, and Adorno\, described modernity as a period of alienation resulting from the collapse of pre-modern social and political structures and the disintegration of shared values. Alienation leaves the individual disconnected from organic relational networks from which humans derive a sense of meaning. But is alienation an inevitable side effect of modernity? In this talk\, I will explore the examples of some leading Chinese Buddhist intellectuals in the modern period and argue that far from being alienated\, Chinese Buddhists seized the significant changes of the period as an opportunity to transform Buddhism and adapt it to the new era. While they were aware of China’s predicament after the collapse of the imperial world order and the spread of colonialism\, still\, they approached it in an engaged and constructive spirit. In the talk\, I will reflect on what prevents alienation from occurring and why not all modernisms were born alike. \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:Digital Dialogues: Nationalism in China and Europe: Global Divergence and Convergence of an Idea
DESCRIPTION:Nationalism in China and Europe: Global Divergence and Convergence of an Idea\n\n\n  \nStefan Berger Professor of Social History\, Ruhr Universität Bochum\nXin Fan Associate Professor of History\, State University of New York (Fredonia)\n  \nJuly 06\, 2022\, 2:00 PM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Campus: Oeconomicum 0.169 (University of Göttingen\, Platz d. Göttinger Sieben 3\, 37073 Göttingen) \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nNationalism as a concept is often considered to be rooted in European experience. However\, the introduction\, translation\, and appropriation of nationalism have also changed the course of history in East Asia. On this panel\, Stefan Berger and Xin Fan contrast and compare the role of nationalism in the making and unmaking of modern China and Europe over the course of the twentieth century\, and they ask\, ––What is the role of nationalism in unifying or dismantling political formations? Why did it break Europe into multiple states but hold China together as a unitary political entity? To answer these questions\, they return to the historical writings about the nation during the twentieth century and re-examine the global divergence and convergence of nationalism as an idea. Getting beyond the ethnic-centric framework of historical interpretations\, the presenters attempt to forge a truly global dialogue on nationalism studies in the twentieth-first century. \n  \nThe speakers: \nStefan Berger is Professor of Social History and Director of the Institute for Social Movements at Ruhr Universitaet Bochum. He is also executive chair of the Foundation History of the Ruhr in Bochum and a Honorary Professor at Cardiff University in the UK. He has worked extensively on comparative labour history\, the history of historiography\, nationalism\, the theory of history\, British-German relations\, industrial heritage\, the memory of social movements and the history of deindustrialization. His latest monograph is ‘History and Identity: How Historical Theory Shapes Historical Practice\, Cambridge University Press\, 2022. \nXin Fan is Associate Professor of History at the State University of New York at Fredonia. His research areas include Chinese intellectual history\, historiography\, and global history. He is the author of World History and National Identity in China: The Twentieth Century (Cambridge University Press\, 2021)\, and he also coedited Receptions of Greek and Roman Antiquity in East Asia (Brill\, 2018). \n.\nThis workshop is part of the Digital Workshop Series “Digital Dialogues 數字對話”..\n\n\n.\n.\nOrganizers:\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nWorldmaking from a Global Perspective: A Dialogue with China

SUMMARY:Lecture: Empire of Paper. Missionaries\, Diplomats\, and Early Sinologists as Social Carriers of Translingual Practices and Worldviews
DESCRIPTION:Empire of Paper. Missionaries\, Diplomats\, and Early Sinologists as Social Carriers of Translingual Practices and Worldviews\n\nEugenio Menegon\nAssociate Professor of History\, Boston University\n  \nJuly 07\, 2022\, 06:00 PM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Campus: VG 3.103 (University of Göttingen\, Verfügungsgebäude\, Platz der Göttinger 7\, 37073 Göttingen) \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nDictionaries compiled in the last phase of the manuscript age (late 16th to early 19th century) acted as metaphorical soldiers of the “empire of paper” that European observers in China – predecessors of the modern China watchers – enlisted to crack the secrets of the Chinese language and to convert the Chinese to Christianity. Through them\, information on China\, its language\, and culture circulated in Europe\, and assisted the birth of academic sinology. Such texts also reflect the role of missionaries\, diplomats\, and sinologists as “social carriers” of a hybrid cultural worldview developed between Europe and China\, and their translingual practices.  The story of a vocabulary preserved at the Vatican Library\, the object of this study\, illuminates the past of the Catholic mission in imperial Beijing during the eighteenth century\, and in particular the operations of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith or de Propaganda Fide\, the “ministry of missions” of the Holy See. It also shows how linguistic knowledge of Chinese was treasured and sought for by European diplomats\, linguists\, and missionaries alike\, and how manuscript culture continued to have an important role in the cross-cultural circulation of knowledge about China well into the nineteenth century. \n.\n\n\nThis lecture is part of the lecture series Conceptions of World Order and Their Social Carrier Groups.\n\n\n.\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEugenio Menegon 梅歐金 (BA University of Venice Ca’ Foscari\, Italy; MA & PhD\, UC Berkeley) teaches Chinese history and world history at the Department of History at Boston University\, and was Director of the Boston University Center for the Study of Asia in 2012-2015. His interests include Chinese-Western relations in late imperial times\, Chinese religions and Christianity in China\, Chinese science\, the intellectual history of Republican China\,  the history of maritime Asia\, and Chinese food history.  He has been Research Fellow in Chinese Studies at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium)\, An Wang Post-Doctoral Fellow at Harvard University’s Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Boston University Humanities Center Junior and Senior Fellow\, a Member of the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton\, and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies at Boston College.\n\n\n\n\n\nHe has published widely\, including the book Ancestors\, Virgins\, and Friars: Christianity as a Local Religion in Late Imperial China (Harvard University Press\, 2009; recipient of the AAS 2011 Joseph Levenson Book Prize) centers on the life of Catholic communities in Fujian province between 1630 and the present.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Heavenly Principle and the Trends of the Times: Some Thoughts on Confucianism
DESCRIPTION:Heavenly Principle and the Trends of the Times: Some Thoughts on Confucianism\nWang Hui\nProfessor of History\, Tsinghua University\n  \nJuly 08\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nBetween the 1920s and the 1940s\, first Naitō Torajirō and then Miyazaki Ichisada introduced several important propositions regarding the Tang to Song transition\, capitalism during the Song Dynasty\, and East Asian early modernity. Since then\, despite constant controversy\, revision\, and improvement\, one Kyoto School proposition has garnered universal acclaim: there is a basic difference between the Tang and Song\, and the Song Dynasty deserves special status in history. In the fields of Chinese intellectual history or philosophy\, some of the characteristics of the Confucianism of the Northern and Southern Song dynasties (and especially the School of Principle of the Cheng brothers and Zhu Xi) have been of use to modern Confucian scholars as a reference for understanding the early modern in Chinese or East Asian history. Follow this trend\, the basic principles of Confucianism are not only organized into the European philosophical categories of ontology and epistemology\, but also into such historical categories as: an inward turn\, rationalization\, and secularization. So\, was there an early modern in Chinese history\, or how to interpret China and its “modernity”? This talk will take the establishment of the concept of heavenly principle as a clue to address the above issues. \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: The World of Everyday Political Thought: A Transcultural History of a “Chinese” Rhetorical Curriculum\, ca. 1200–1600
DESCRIPTION:The World of Everyday Political Thought: A Transcultural History of a “Chinese” Rhetorical Curriculum\, ca. 1200–1600\nShoufu Yin\nAssistant Professor\, University of British Columbia\n  \nJuly 11\, 2022\, 01:00 PM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Campus: ERZ 1.201 (University of Göttingen\, Waldweg 26\, 37073 Göttingen) \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nThis talk has two goals. First\, it develops a new approach to the studies of political theory and philosophy\, one that I call everyday political thought. This approach invites us to explore how ordinary individuals were able to come up with remarkable ideas despite the fact that they were living under and working within different forms of oppressive powers. Second\, employing everyday political thought as method\, I provide a new narrative of the history of early modern political thought by excavating a rhetorical curriculum that flourished in East Eurasia. This rhetorical curriculum trained individuals to write official documents in literary Sinitic\, a lingua franca of the regions. I use documents in Chinese\, Mongolian\, Manchu\, and Persian\, among other languages\, to reconstruct how the curriculum took its shape under Mongol-ruled China\, flourished in post-Mongol East Eurasia\, until it was finally restructured under the Manchu Empire. Practicing both close and distant readings of a large number of previously untapped sources that have survived in different parts of the world\, I show that this form of education enabled individuals thus trained to philosophize the state\, bureaucracy\, and counterfactual histories in their everyday settings. In sum\, this talk seeks to demonstrate how new method and toolkits\, combined with large corpora of overlooked materials\, will allow us to write new kinds of intellectual histories that decenters Western Europe and China while foregrounding the theoretical contributions of “everyday” thinkers of different locals and traditions. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series Conceptions of World Order and Their Social Carrier Groups. \n  \nSpeaker: \nShoufu Yin is an assistant professor in history at the University of British Columbia. His research and teaching center on Chinese and Inner Asian political culture and thought in global historical contexts. Specializing in areas where cultural history meets comparative philosophy\, he works on a wide array of previously unknown\, untapped\, and understudied sources in different languages—literary Sinitic (classical Chinese)\, Korean\, Manchu\, Mongolian\, Persian\, Latin\, and Greek\, to name a few. As such\, his publications show that it is productive to engage the intellectual world of hitherto overlooked and marginalized groups—including peasant women who fought in wars\, Manchu translators who processed imperial documents\, and anonymous typesetters behind the production of books. Ultimately\, his scholarly passion lies in writing new kinds of global intellectual histories that foreground the theoretical contributions of both “canonical” and “everyday” thinkers of different traditions. \n.\n\n.\n\n\nOrganizers:\n\n\n.\n\n\n\n\n\nWorldmaking from a Global Perspective: A Dialogue with China\n\n.\n\n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n\n.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Hun 魂 and Po 魄: An ancient Chinese approach to human psyche and soul
DESCRIPTION:Hun 魂 and Po 魄: An ancient Chinese approach to human psyche and soul\nDr. Dr. Dominique Hertzer\nVisiting Lecturer\, Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n  \nJuly 13\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Campus: KWZ 0.701 Conference Room (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen) \nOn Zoom: For online participation\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nIs there only one soul? What is the relation between body and mind or is there only a body? We will explore the meaning and function of the Chinese concept of the human soul\, as it is represented in the dynamic relation between spirit (shen 神)\, hun 魂 (etheral soul) and po 魄 (body soul). We will look into the ideas underlying  the differentiation  of these three aspects and see what are the consequences for the relationship of body and mind.  Finally\, we will discuss which impact this may have for our own understanding of the human psyche. \n  \nThis lecture announcement is beyond our currently running lecture series. \n\n.\n\n\nOrganizers:\n\n\n.\n\n\n\n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n\n.

SUMMARY:Lecture: From Mentorship to Comradeship: Irving Babbitt\, The Critical Review\, and Conservative Globalism in Republican China
DESCRIPTION:From Mentorship to Comradeship: Irving Babbitt\, The Critical Review\, and Conservative Globalism in Republican China\nKuo Ya-pei\nAssistant Professor\, Center for International Relations Research\, University of Groningen\n  \nJuly 15\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 0.609 (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nSince the late 19th century\, the “East vs West” dichotomy has been the predominant framework for understanding Chinese civilization and its place in the world. This talk focuses on The Critical Review (Xueheng 學衡)\, a “conservative” platform launched in 1922\, and its effort to overcome this dichotomy. As many modern scholars have pointed out\, those who were associated with the journal\, such as Wu Mi and Mei Guangdi\, held a globalist agenda with a conviction in cultural commonality across the East-West divide. This talk elucidates the particularist dimension of their globalist position. In spite of the apparent disparity between the East and the West\, these intellectuals believed that regional civilizations contain certain shared\, universal elements. The undeniable particularity of each cultural system thereby presents no barrier to the advancement of history. Rather\, they argued that manifesting local specifics was a vehicle contributing to the modern quest for the universal. Through the notion of a diffused locus of the universal\, The Critical Review relativized the West’s place in the modern world. The second half of the talk reconsiders Mei Guangdi and Wu Mi’s indebtedness to their American “mentor” Irving Babbitt. While Babbitt’s hermeneutic method and historical outlook left an imprint on the intellectual lives of his Chinese students\, Wu and Mei were cognizant of their own as well as Babbitt’s particularity. Their globalism rendered both Prograssive-Era America and post-revolutionary China as parallels that could learn from each other but held neither to be the absolute paragon of human progress. Revering Babbitt\, Mei and Wu wittingly deviated from his teachings in formulating their interpretations of Chinese culture. They epitomized an especially sober kind of student of the West\, a kind that utilized the knowledge of the West to nurture their own cultural acumen\, without idolizing the West as an object of emulation. \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: Arab-Chinese Entanglement in the Age of Global Empires
DESCRIPTION:Arab-Chinese Entanglement in the Age of Global Empires\nShuang Wen\nClinical Assistant Professor of History\, New York University Shanghai\n  \nJuly 18\, 2022\, 01:00 PM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Campus: ZHG 104 (University of Göttingen\, Zentrales Hörsaalgebäude\, Platz der Göttinger 7\, 37073 Göttingen) \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \n  \nThis talk narrates four little-known stories of Arab-Chinese entanglement in the age of trans-imperial collaboration and competition in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although much attention is paid to China’s relationships with the Middle East today\, I argue that this relationship did not emerge out of nowhere. Chinese and Arab lands were not entirely separate worlds until recently. Rather they have been entangled in complex ways well before the turn of the twenty-first century. The discovery of these episodes of largely invisible interactions resulted from my original juxtaposition of primary sources in Arabic and Chinese from multi-sited research in China\, Egypt\, Syria\, Taiwan\, the United Kingdom\, and the United States. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series Conceptions of World Order and Their Social Carrier Groups. \n  \nSpeaker: \nShuang Wen is a historian of modern China and the Arab world. Prior to joining NYU Shanghai\, Professor Wen held fellowships at the National University of Singapore and New York University Abu Dhabi. As a native Mandarin speaker\, she received intensive Arabic-language trainings. Before switching her career to academia\, Shuang was a broadcast journalist for Phoenix Satellite Television InfoNews Channel in Hong Kong\, covering major breaking news events from the Middle East\, and English-Mandarin-Cantonese simultaneous interpreter for live news coverage. Her latest publication is “A Short History of Modern Arab Knowledge Production on China\,” in Islam\, Revival\, and Reform: Redefining Tradition for the Twenty-First Century\, edited by Natana J. DeLong-Bas\, University of Syracuse Press\, 2022\, chapter 9. \n\n.\n\nOrganizers:\n\n\n\n\n.\n\n\n\nWorldmaking from a global perspective: A Dialogue with China\n\n.\n\n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen
