SUMMARY:Prof. WANG Hui (Tsinghua University): The Beginning of the Century: A Reconsideration on the 20th Century in Chinese/Global History
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAt the beginning of the 20th century\, the alien idea of century began to replace other traditional concepts of chronology in China and reshaped Chinese idea of time. Following the application of 20th century in Chinese context\, other related concepts such as 19th century\, 18th century and their sequence emerged as derivatives of 20th century. Before 1900\, the concept of century had almost not been discussed in this sense in China and never used as the self-consciousness of our era. The notion of century is closely connected with the 20th century\, its distinction from past eras being not just a simple temporal demarcation but an understanding of singular propensity of the time\, which render the history of the\nothers into a history of one’s own\, while situating it within history in toto for explanation and identification. This is the birth of global synchronicity in the history of China. How did intellectuals theorized the idea of 20th century? This talk will examine the birth of the notion of the 20th century in China from an intellectual history perspective and analyze its particular position in the history of China from the perspectives of time (history)\, space\, self-identification\, social ideals and etc. \nPresenter:\nWang Hui is a Changjiang Scholar Professor in the Department of Chinese Literature and the Department of History\, Tsinghua University\, and is Director of the Tsinghua Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences. His recent publications include China’s Twentieth Century (London/New York\, Verso\, 2016)\,  and China from Empire to Nation-State (two volumes) (Cambridge\, Mass: Harvard University Press\, 2014).

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: Liberating the “oppressed nations”: Chinese communist networks and the Comintern in Southeast Asia\, the Americas\, and Europe\, c. 1920s-1930s
DESCRIPTION:Anna Belogurova\, CeMIS\, Universität Göttingen \nAbstract:\nIn the context of unprecedented circulation of people and ideas in the interwar global moment\, Chinese communists built their overseas networks in the old empires and invented new nations. As they were making revolution both in and outside China\, they aspired to liberate the world from imperialism and to save China. Their rationale was rooted both in long held ideas about China’s place in the world\, as well as in new theories of political revolution which had originated outside China.\nDifferent local contexts and transnational actors such as the Comintern\, shaped the interaction of the Chinese networks with local nationalism and local anti-colonial movements. As the result\, the historical roles of the Chinese networks in Americas\, Europe\, and the Southeast Asia were different.

SUMMARY:Vortrag Prof. Kerry Brown (King’s College\, London): „The Powers of Xi Jinping“
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis year will see the 19th Party Congress. marking a moment of re-evaluation for the Communist Party policy and elite leadership. Under Xi since 2012 there has been what is claimed to have been a concentration of power within his hands. But how can we best understand this power\, and what sense does it make to say that Xi is the new Mao of China? What is his political programme\, and how does it relate to the organisation he is meant to be serving and leading to a sustainable future – the Communist Party of China.’ \nPresenter: \nKerry Brown is Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College\, London. His main interests are in the politics and society of modern China\, in its international relations and its political economy. His monographs include `Struggling Giant: China in the 21st Century’ (London\, June 2007 )and `Friends and Enemies: The Past\, Present and Future of the Communist Party of China’ (London\, 2009).

SUMMARY:“Bhiksunī Chao-Hwei’s Buddhist Social Activism: From Solidarity with the Disadvantaged to Marriage Equality”
DESCRIPTION:Hsiao-Lan Hu\, Ph.D.\n(Associate Professor of Religious Studies\, and Women’s and Gender Studies University of Detroit Mercy) \nAbstract:  \nOn 24 May 2017\, the Supreme Court in Taiwan ruled in favor of marriage equality\, nearly five years after the much celebrated first Buddhist lesbian wedding officiated by Bhiksunī Chao-Hwei. She has officiated a few other same-sex weddings since that time. While the cultural significance of such same-sex weddings officiated by a Buddhist monastic is debatable since lay Buddhists typically do not turn to monks and nuns for weddings and since historically Buddhism has not been vehemently anti-homosexual as many other religions have\, such ceremonies are nonetheless groundbreaking in opening up public discourses. \nIn the Chinese academic and Buddhist circles\, Bhiksunī Chao-Hwei is the lone monastic-scholar-activist who develops systematic discourses on Buddhist ethical principles and actively applies them to social issues. She often condenses Buddhist ethics into three phrases: co-arising\, protection of beings\, and the middle way. Based on these principles\, she engages in social activism defending various groups of sentient beings who are discriminated against and/or deprived of rights by the dominant groups\, including LGBT persons. This lecture aims to examine her reasons for supporting marriage equality in the light of her overall understanding of Buddhist ethics\, and to analyze the significance of her public discourse and social activism.

DESCRIPTION:On the basis of Chinese archival records\, this presentation describes and critically assesses – including from a global\, comparative perspective – covert postal inspection as conducted by state security organs in Mao Zedong’s China (1949–1976). According to an early classified directive\, postal inspection and monitoring was to “pay attention to the imperialist countries as well as conduct spot checks of the domestic correspondence of targets.” What ensued in the technically primitive conditions prevailing was\, for many years\, a… \nContinue reading

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: The 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party
DESCRIPTION:The 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party: a Quantitative Assessment\nVictor Shih\, University of California San Diego \nAbstract: \nTwo important questions that can be asked about the 19th Party Congress\, scheduled to take place in the fall of 2017\, include who will take over key positions at the top of the party hierarchy and whether Party Secretary General Xi Jinping can dominate the upper echelons of the Communist Party.  Drawing from a quantitative biographical database of over 4000 Chinese political elite\, I first attempt to present some theoretical and machine learning predictions about who will enter the Politburo in the fall of 2017.  Then\, using the same data\, I assess whether Xi Jinping already dominates the Chinese Communist Party\, or whether that is still a goal he needs to achieve in the fall congress. \nAbout the lecturer: \nVictor Shih is an associate professor of political economy and has published widely on the politics of Chinese banking policies\, fiscal policies and exchange rates. He was the first analyst to identify the risk of massive local government debt\, and is the author of “Factions and Finance in China: Elite Conflict and Inflation.”\nPrior to joining UC San Diego\, Shih was a professor of political science at Northwestern University and former principal for The Carlyle Group.\nShih is currently engaged in a study of how the coalition-formation strategies of founding leaders had a profound impact on the evolution of the Chinese Communist Party. He is also constructing a large database on biographical information of elites in China.

SUMMARY:Prof. XIAO Huafeng: “Cultural Imperialism and Americanization in China”
DESCRIPTION:Along with the practice of the Reform and Open Policy in China in the 1980s\, more and more Chinese have been much influenced by American way of life. Undeniably\, as Michel Gueldry writes\, China has imported capitalism but not democracy(2009). But I think that for the ordinary Chinese people to live an American way of life is more threatening to Chinese traditions than the official practice of American democracy. That is the power of American popular culture. \nThe lecture is divided into four parts: definition and experience of cultural Imperialism in world history; two implications of Americanization; phenomena of Americanization in China\, and personal observations about Americanization. \nContinue reading \n

There is\, however\, one limitation is in need of addressing: almost singular focus on the economic activities carried out within or in connection with the saṃgha\, with little attention to the economic and financial context for some allegedly “pure” religious programs installed by Buddhists. This lecture endeavors to make some long overdue compensation for this unbalanced approach. First\, it introduces the proto-banking institution known as wujinzang 無盡藏  (Inexhaustible Treasury)\, which was established during the reign of the Chinese Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty (i.e. Liang Wudi\, r. 502-549)\, who modeled himself upon King Asoka.  Then it traces its provenance back to some significant precedents and practices in India. Finally\, I highlight several major impacts Liang Wudi’s wujinzang system appears to have wrought on its counterpart during the Sui-Tang period in China when\, primarily because of the charismatic Buddhist monk Xinxing (540-594) and the leader of the Buddhist movement known as Sanjie jiao (The cult of Three Stages)\, the Inexhaustible Treasury shaped the institutional role of the Buddhist church in China for centuries. \nZur Person: \nJinhua Chen is a professor of East Asian Buddhism at the University of British Columbia (UBC)\, where he has served since 2001 as the founding director of the UBC Buddhist Studies Forum. He is currently the director of the newly-awarded multi-year international and interdisciplinary Partnership project sponsored by SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada) Project that aims at reconstructing several key aspects of East Asian religions through multi-media sources and interdisciplinary perspectives\, based at UBC (www.frogbear.org). His numerous publications cover different parts of Eats Asian Buddhism\, such as state-church relationships\, monastic (hagio/)biographical literature\, Buddhist sacred sites\, relic veneration\, Buddhism and technological innovation in medieval China\, Buddhist translations\, and manuscript culture.

SUMMARY:Thomas H.C. Lee (Prof. emeritus\, National Tsing-hua University\, Taiwan): Archery Ranges in the Educational Tradition of Confucian Academies in China
DESCRIPTION:It is almost impossible to imagine that archery range was an integral part of Chinese academy compound\, and supposedly a part of its Confucian education. It is true that in Confucius’ classical teaching\, archery was a part of the so-called “six arts” that constituted the education of a gentleman\, but that its becoming a part of school’s civil curriculum appeared quite late\, only in the Song times. Before that\, archery was taught only in military camps\, and at most a part of civil rituals\, taking place mainly for ceremonial purposes\, such as “village libation ceremonies”. \nSystematic and wholesale rethinking on the purpose and curriculum of education in the 11th to 13th centuries\, during which both government and privately or family organized schools began to appear in large numbers\, led to significant consequences: the debates on the relationship of schools and the imperial examination system that was also rising in importance; the rise and intensified activity of the so-called “private” academies resulted in a rethinking on how Confucian ideals could be implemented both within and without the public/government educational sphere. \nThis re-emergence of Confucian thinking resulted in the idea of “Confucian-military commanders”\, in that civil officials were expected to involve themselves in military policing and even defensive activities\, and that military officials should receive sufficient Confucian education to enable them to help realizing Confucian ideals of a stable and harmonious civil order. Several famous Song thinkers were singled out as quintessential “Confucian generals” – Han Qi\, Fan Zhongyan\, etc. It grew into a tradition in that many thinkers in later times were also praised of their military commandership. Actually\, the conception was not new\, but it became a widely embraced conception in the Song times\, and it was at this time that “archery ranges” (shepu 射圃) first appeared notably in school compounds. The academies also gradually caught up.\nAlthough there is no evidence that Song academies already had archery ranges\, the practice had definitely begun to appear in various school compounds or government offices. Obviously\, this reflected at least a preliminary or fledgling realization again of archery as education or rite.\nBy the Mongol Yuan times\, the building of archery ranges had become widespread\, and references to academies with archery ranges began to appear in the early Ming. By the mid-Ming times\, the academies were almost uniformly equipped with them. Leading scholars such as Wang Yangming\, Li Dongyang\, Xue Yingqi\, and others all wrote essays extolling their importance and even expounded on their educational values\, advocating their construction. \nArchery ranges continued to be built in academies\, especially after the academies had become largely an integral part of government schools and a preparatory ground of the imperial examinations. \nThe rise of archery ranges in Chinese academy education contributed not in the growth of academies as a ground realizing the ideal of complete education\, for the upbringing of l’uomo universal (Vittorino da Feltre). Instead it quite struggled to help cement a society of uniformity\, orderly managed according to moral ideologies. Indeed\, its perpetuation depended ironically on its function as a ground where members of government schools (of which many academies had evolved into) gathered for ritualistic performances and\, perhaps even more often\, to listen to imperial decrees and prescripts. The existence and continuation of the ranges thus reflected perfectly the Chinese penchant for “squares” – the Chinese peculiar equivalent of “public spaces”.

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: Was Buddha a Muslim? Ottoman Turkish Reflexions on Japan
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Katja Triplett\nCeMEAS\, University of Göttingen \n  \nAbstract:\nIn studies on relations between Japan and Turkey\, the topic of ‘religion’ has been mainly addressed in light of Islamic missionary activities and the role of Ottoman Turkish proselytizers in Japan. Recent studies have also highlighted the ways in which Japan served as a model for Ottomans in attaining “non-Western” modernity. However\, how Ottoman and republican Turkish intellectuals reflected about Japanese religions and spiritual practices has been not been studied yet in much detail\, despite the fact that a great variety of texts attests to the deep interest for these topics. Writers from Turkey who engaged with various forms of Japanese spirituality relied in their analyses often on sources in Western languages.\nThe presentation will examine the originality of their interpretations and explore first-hand observations\, such as a visit to a Buddhist temple in Tokyo\, by Ottomans in early twentieth century Japan. \nContinue reading
