SUMMARY:Before China Studies: Private Foundations and Cold War Politics in Colonial Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:6. July (Thursday)\, 18:15 – 19:45 \nVG 2.103 \n  \nAbstract: \nThe founding of the University Service Centre in Hong Kong in 1963 was a significant event in the development of China studies. Thanks to the city’s adjacency to mainland China and the Carnegie Corporation’s funding support\, the Centre since its very beginning has become the “go-to” place for aspiring researchers to obtain first-hand information to study contemporary China. Yet in what way did U.S. government\, private foundations\, and the British Colonial government collaborate on founding this important institution? This is the central question of this talk. By using American and British archives\, I will investigate the complicated relationship between state and society in the production of China-related knowledge in the Cold War era. \n  \nSpeaker: \nDr Xin Fan is Teaching Associate in Modern Chinese History at the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge\, and he is also a fellow at Lucy Cavendish College of the university. Prior to the move to the UK\, he was a tenured associate professor at the State University of New York at Fredonia. As a historian of twentieth-century China\, he is the author of World History and National Identity in China: The Twentieth Century (Cambridge University Press\, 2021) and the second editor of Receptions of Greek and Roman Antiquity in East Asia (Brill\, 2018). He also serves as book review editor for China and Asia: A Journal in Historical Studies. He is currently working on a book project tentatively titled\, “The Right to Talk about China: The Rise of Emotions of Politics\, 1900s–1949.” He is collaborating with Kristin Stapleton and Els van Dongen on editing “The SAGE Handbook of Interpreting Chinese History.” In addition\, he is writing about nationalism\, historiography\, and the history of concepts.

SUMMARY:Confucius as a Cosmopolitan: Thought and Practice
DESCRIPTION:07. July\, 14:00-16:00 \nKWZ 0.601 \n  \nAbstract:  \nBased on the Analects and other texts related to Confucius in classical period and taken “cosmopolitanism\,” a concept with long history in the Western tradition as a counterpart for comparison\, this talk aims to probe the thought and practice of Confucius as a cosmopolitan and point out the feature and significance of the Confucian “rooted cosmopolitanism” revealed in the thought and practice of Confucius. The rooted cosmopolitanism embodied by Confucius not only has the basic characteristics of all versions of cosmopolitanism\, namely\, going beyond the territory and ethnicity\, but also keeps a dynamic balance between the one and the many\, which is usually ignored by the radical cosmopolitanism. Last\, a brief comparison between Confucian rooted cosmopolitanism and the rooted cosmopolitanism advocated by Appiah would be made. \nSpeaker: \nPENG Guoxiang 彭國翔 is Qiu Shi Distinguished Professor of Chinese philosophy\, intellectual history and religions and the director of Ma Yifu International Center for the Studies in Humanities at Zhejiang University. He was professor at Peking University and Tsinghua University and research fellow at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. He is the 2016 Kluge Chair in Countries and Cultures of the North (Library of Congress\, USA) and 2009 Awardee of the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award (Humboldt Foundation and the Ministry of Education and Research\, Germany). \nHis publications include The Unfolding of the Innate Good Knowing: Wang Ji and the Yangming Learning in Mid-Late Ming (2003\, 2005\, 2015)\, Confucian Tradition: Between Religion and Humanism (2007\, 2017)\, Confucian Tradition and Chinese Philosophy: Retrospect and Prospect in a New Century (2009)\, Confucian Tradition from Classical Period to Its Contemporary Transformation: Speculation and Interpretation(2012)\, Revision and New Discovery: Historical Study of Pre-Modern Confucianism from Northern Song till Early Qing Dynasty (2013\, 2015)\, Reconstruction of This Culture of Ours: Confucianism and Contemporary World (2013\, 2017)\, This-worldly Concern of the Wise: The Political and Social Thought of Mou Zongsan(1909-1995) (2016) and numerous articles.

SUMMARY:Hegelian Master Narratives and Periodizing Japanese and Chinese Modernity
DESCRIPTION:11. July\, 16:00 – 18:00 \nOEC. 0.168 \nAbstract: \nScholars of Asian studies have something of a love-hate relationship with Hegel; they love to cite him as the epitome of Eurocentrism\, modernization theory and the legitimation of colonialism. Despite their prevalence\, such criticisms overlook both the complexities of Hegel’s philosophy and the different ways in which Asian intellectuals attempted to turn Hegel on his head or rescue the rational kernel of his thought in a non-Western context. Viren Murthy contends that for much of the twentieth century\, especially in Japan\, but also in China\, scholars engaged Hegel by incorporating and transforming his ideas. Such incorporations enabled us to see that Hegel was not merely a theorist of modernization but one of its most incisive critics. Indeed\, it was precisely because of Hegel’s critique of capitalist modernity that conservatives such as Inoue Tetsujirō found him interesting. In this presentation\, Viren Murthy will examine three attempts to rethink Hegel\, respectively by the pan-Asianist\, Okakura Tenshin\, the Kyoto school philosopher of world-history\, Koyama Iwao and the Japanese sinologist\, Mizoguchi Yūzō. Viren Murthy argues that each of these thinkers narrates the history of Asia\, while implicitly or explicitly responding to Hegel’s idea of the Orient as not having subjectivity. Against this static vision of Asia\, these figures reconfigure the historical trajectories of Japan\, China and the world to reconfigure both universality and subjectivity beyond Eurocentrism. Towards the end of his talk\, Viren Murthy suggests that the contemporary “new leftist” intellectual Wang Hui\, continues elements of the various thinkers mentioned above. The contemporary rise of China makes such responses to Hegelian master narratives especially relevant for our contradictory present. \nSpeaker: \nViren Murthy teaches transnational Asian History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and researches Chinese\, Japanese and Indian intellectual history. He is interested in critics of modernity in Asia\, specifically\, China\, Japan and India. He places the history of nationalism and transnationalism in the larger trajectory of global capitalism and examines how pan-Asianists\, Third Worldists\, Marxists and postcolonialists theorize resistance to imperialism and capitalism and posit a world beyond the present. Central to his work is the politics of the nation-form. Pan-Asianists and Third Worldists believed that the nation-form would be able to combine anti-imperialism with a politics of socialism. He inquires into the conditions for the possibility of such theories in the early postwar period and the ask whether their categories and politics continue to be germane to our neo-liberal present. He is the author of The Political Philosophy of Zhang Taiyan: The Resistance of Consciousness (Brill\, 2011) and The Politics of Time in China and Japan\, Routledge\, 2022). He is co-editor with Prasenjit Duara and Andrew Sartori of A Companion to Global Historical Thought\, (Blackwell\, 2014)\, co-editor with Joyce Liu of East Asian Marxisms and Their Trajectories (Routledge\, 2017) and co-editor with Max Ward and Fabian Schäfer of Confronting Capital and Empire: Rethinking Kyoto School Philosophy (Brill\, 2017). He has published articles in Modern Intellectual History\, Modern China\, Frontiers of History in China and Positions: Asia Critique\, Jewish Social Studies\, Critical Historical Studies\, Journal of Labor and Society. His book\, entitled: Pan-Asianism and the Legacy of the Chinese Revolution\, is scheduled to appear in October\, 2023 with University of Chicago Press.

SUMMARY:Transnational Knowledge Transfers Between China\, Europe\, and the United States:  Actors\, Institutions\, and Dynamics\, 1924-1935
DESCRIPTION:13. July (Thursday)\, 18:15 – 19:45 \nVG 2.103 \n  \nOverview \nThe two talks of this joint session interrogate processes of knowledge transfer between China\, the United States\, and Europe during the 1920s and 1930s. Focusing on two distinct organizations– the China Foundation (based in Shanghai and New York) and the League of Nations (based in Geneva) – both talks shed new light on the transnational entanglements of the Republican period in China\, and demonstrate how foreign efforts to influence China often met with domestic resistance. \n  \nAbstract First Talk (Sally Chengji Xing): The China Foundation’s Sponsorship for Pure Science Research since 1924   \nIn the first half of the twentieth century\, leading American intellectuals frequently communicated with a cohort of prominent Chinese intellectuals previously trained in the US. Such face-to-face interchanges across the Pacific ultimately influenced Chinese choices in shaping modern scientific education and research\, and the impact was generated primarily through a unique organization established based on Sino-American intellectual collaborations\, the China Foundation. The China Foundation administered the second American remission of the Boxer Indemnity Funds to China and served as a sponsor of Chinese pure science research. Xing’s talk studies the contested debates\, conversations and dialogues that occurred in Beijing surrounding the establishment of the China Foundation in 1924. It revisits the robust debate within the China Foundation back in 1924\, by Paul Monroe and Roger Sherman Greene\, about whether to sponsor “pure” or “applied” science for the sake of China’s modernization. In so doing\, it demonstrates how and why Paul Monroe’s ideas\, though being very influential at the time\, were consequently challenged by Greene and other Chinese scientists. \nAbstract Second talk (Lucas Brang): From Geneva with Expertise: The League of Nations’ program of cooperation with Republican China (1925-1935) \nDespite being largely forgotten today\, the League of Nations’ China Program was likely the largest and most ambitious program of international cooperation and “development assistance” prior to the second half of the twentieth century. From its formal inception in 1931 to its dismantling several years later\, the cooperation between Geneva and Nanjing brought large numbers of European experts to China\, where they advised on such diverse fields as public health\, educational reform\, infrastructure-building\, administrative restructuring\, and global finance. Based on memoirs of involved actors as well as diplomatic documents from several Foreign Offices and the League of Nations Archive in Geneva\, Lucas Brang’s talk will reexamine the China Program as an early instance of “global governance” through professional expertise. Revisiting this episode of transnational cooperation demonstrates that\, despite the increasingly hostile environment\, the early 1930s constituted a highpoint of China’s international legal\, economic\, and administrative integration. At the same time\, internal documents reveal that\, rather than being a genuinely universal organization\, the League of Nations was widely perceived as an agent of “European civilization” in competition with new hegemons like the United States and Soviet Russia. Finally\, the talk shows how this global rivalry over China undermined Geneva’s claim to “neutral” expertise\, which ultimately precipitated the collapse of the program along with the interwar peace order at large. \n  \nSpeakers: \n  \nSally Chengji Xing is a visiting fellow of the Max Planck Institute of History of Science in Berlin (Lise Meitner Research Group\, “China in the Global System of Science\,” MPIWG) and the Joint Center for Advanced Studies “Worldmaking from Global Perspectives: a Dialogue with China;” she is also an incoming associate professor of US history at Nankai University. She is interested in writing US history from transnational and global perspectives. Her book manuscript in progress\, “Pacific Crossings”: The China Foundation and a Negotiated Translation of American Science to China\, 1913-1949″\, examines how and to what extent did the American intellectuals in the first half of the twentieth century influence the development of Chinese science. Her multi-archival research in China and the United States has been funded by the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR)\, the Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research\, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History\, Rockefeller Archive Center\, the Consortium for History of Science\, Technology\, and Medicine and numerous other graduate research fellowships at Columbia University in the City of New York. Her long-term research explores Sino-American intellectual history in transnational approaches\, from the early 20th century all the way to the late 1960s. \n  \nLucas Brang is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Cologne\, where he is currently completing his dissertation on the rise of the discipline of international law in early 20th-century China. From 2019 to 2022\, he was a recipient of a Marie Curie global research fellowship of the European Union\, as part of which he was affiliated with the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Lucas’ research interests include China’s constitutional development and visions of international order from historical and comparative perspectives. In his work\, he employs approaches from different disciplinary traditions such as legal theory\, conceptual history\, and the sociology of knowledge. His research has appeared in journals like Global Constitutionalism\, Modern China\, and the International Journal of Constitutional Law.

SUMMARY:Education and democracy in modern China
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nInstitutional change in education and the cultivation of a qualified citizenry were two sides of the same coin of developing democratic education in modern China. At stake is to understand how democratic education filled a critical role in bridging the gap between democratic ideals and political realities. This lecture will focus on teachings of citizenship and democracy in Chinese primary and secondary schools between 1923-1936 for the purpose of strengthening embryonic democratic politics by creating qualified citizens\, and seek to shed some light on the complex intertwinement of educational and political reforms in modern China. \nSpeaker:\nYing Zhou is an assistant professor at the Institute of Education\, Xiamen University\, China. She obtained her PhD at the University of Groningen (NL)\, trained in both Educational Studies and Sinology. Her PhD dissertation is entitled Education and Politics in China: Civic Education in Times of Reform\, 1901-1937\, and her current research project is concerned with pragmatism and progressive education in China and Japan.

SUMMARY:Examples of research methods in the history of German Sinology / 德国汉学史研究方法举隅
DESCRIPTION:17. 07\, 16:00 – 18:00 \nKWZ 0.608 \n\n\nAbstract:\n德国汉学从一开始就不局限于某一领域，今天对它的历史梳理，也必然是在历史学、语文学、人类学、自然科学等其他学科的理论和方法的参与下进行，这同时也体现了德国汉学史研究的活力和多样性。李雪涛教授以德国汉学史为例，指出近年来汉学史研究的范式，已经从之前的”内部论”（internalist）或”谱系式”（genealogical）的历史思考方式，转变为了将汉学研究的现象、事件与进程置于”全球脉络”中予以分析，从而形成了一种真正的跨文化全球史研究。\n\nSpeaker:\nProf. Li is an expert among other topics on the history of Western China Studies and will address recent central questions of the development of China Studies in the West applying a global history perspective.\n\nThe lecture will be held in Chinese.

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #23 Russia’s Ties with China: Helping or Hindering the Yuan in Becoming an International Currency?
DESCRIPTION:Registration required \n\n\nTopic\nThe “friendship without limits” between China and Russia\, which the heads of state of the two countries still affirmed on the occasion of the Winter Olympics in China at the beginning of February 2022\, has not lost its significance in the past year since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war\, even if China has held back from its otherwise pro-Russia position. However\, this “friendship” received a new boost with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Russia in March 2023: Vladimir Putin\, the Russian president\, announced that in the future\, all oil and gas transactions between Russia and China would be denominated in the Chinese yuan. Will this development help or hinder the Chinese yuan’s path to becoming an international currency? What are the economic and financial challenges behind this yuan peg in oil and gas transactions between the two countries\, especially for China? What is the geopolitical significance of this deepened partnership for China\, Russia\, and also for the West? \nProgram\nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #23 will be held in English. \n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n \n\n\n\n© Kiel Institute / Studio 23 \n\n\n\nRolf Langhammer  \nProf. Dr. Rolf J.
