SUMMARY:Prof. Selcuk Esenbel (Bogazici Univ. Istanbul):  Legal Transformation\, Contemporary Civilization\, and Sovereignty: Global Perspectives on the Quest for Modernity in Japan\, China\, and Turkey
DESCRIPTION:9. May (Tuesday)\, 16:15 – 17:45\nVG 0.110 \nAbstract: \nThe paper discusses some key experiences of Japan\, Turkey\, and China during the nineteenth century\, but primarily focuses on a comparative discussion of Japan and Turkey for the twentieth century and possibly the early years of the new millennium. It will offer reflections particularly on the conjuncture that was related to the adoption of European codes and constitutionalism\, coupled with the larger aim of catching up with contemporary civilization and regaining sovereignty. Despite the fact that the perception of the West throughout this long history kept shifting between a friend or foe\, the West has remained to be the “Un-forgettable Other.”   \nSpeaker:\nDr. Selçuk Esenbel is Professor em. of History at Boğaziçi University\, and the Director of the Asian Studies Center at the same institution. After studying at International Christian University Tokyo and George Washington University\, she obtained her Ph.D. in Japanese history from the Columbia University. Since 1982\, she has been teaching Japanese and Asian history at Boğaziçi University\, where she is also in charge of the Asian Studies Center\, Asian studies graduate program and Asian language courses. Esenbel has published many articles in various professional journals as well as a number of books on history of Asia with particular focus on Japanese history. Her research interests cover Japan and the world of Islam\, Japanese pan-Asianism\, modernization in Japan and Ottoman Turkey\, peasant uprisings in Meiji Japan\, and Japanese-Ottoman/Turkish relations. Esenbel is the recipient of various awards\, like the Order of the Rising Sun\, Japan Foundation Special Prize for Japanese Studies\, Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs special award for the promotion of Japanese-Turkish academic relations\, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation George Forster research award. \nOrganizer:\nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Prof. Ho Wai Yip\, Exeter University:  Two Tales of the City: Conflicting Narratives on Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:4. May\, 18:15 – 19:45\nVG 2.103 \nAbstract:\nAs always\, there are conflicting narratives on Hong Kong’s history from the British colonial period to the present comprehensive rule of the People’s Republic of China. In the early transition from British to Chinese rule in early 2000s\, there were two contradictory views in explaining the economic success of the colonial Hong Kong\, namely the nationalistic narrative – ‘Hong Kong has been part of Chinese territory since ancient times’ and the colonial narrative – ‘Hong Kong as a barren-rock-turned capitalist-paradise by benevolent rule’. In the present day of China’s Hong Kong\, the debate continues with two opposing narratives. It involves the official campaign of telling the world the ‘good story’ of Hong Kong following ‘the new stage of transition from chaos to order’\, which is to combat the ‘bad story’ of distorted anti-China prejudice. According to renowned literary educators\, ‘telling the story of Hong Kong is so difficult’ (Leung Ping-kwan’s words) and ‘the personality and life of Hong Kong are blurred and obscured’ (Lo Wai-luen’s words)\, this presentation inquires the ambiguities of Hong Kong stories and the society has been navigating under superpowers in history. \nSpeaker:\nWai-Yip Ho is currently the Honorary Research Fellow\, Institute of Arab & Islamic Studies\, University of Exeter; Correspondent Member\, Nantes Institute for Advanced Studies. He is the author of Islam and China’s Hong Kong: Ethnic Identity\, Muslim Networks and the new Silk Road (Routledge: London\, 2015\, paperback). He held several research fellowship and research appointments\, including the François Chevalier Fellow (2021-2022)\, Madrid Institute for Advanced Study (MIAS); Sir Edward Youde Fellow; Visiting Scholar at Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies at Oxford as well as Endeavour Research Fellow at Australian National University etc. His research interests include Islamic Studies\, China’s Christian-Muslim relations\, New Media and China’s Islam\, etc.  \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Vortrag: Dr. phil. Volker Klöpsch "Jadeschleifer\, Verseschmied  Das Handwerk der Dichtung im Lichte der chinesischen Literaturkritik"
DESCRIPTION:Dichtung ist ein universales Phänomen. Doch entsteht sie überall unter ähnlichen Voraussetzungen? Ein genauerer Blick zeigt\, dass Dichten viel­fach als ein gewöhnliches Handwerk verstanden wird. Darauf verweisen Begriffe wie Verse­schmied oder Jadeschleifer\, Vers oder Text. Der Vortrag untersucht an einer Reihe von Bei­spie­len\, wie im Alten China ein Gedicht entstand\, welche Funktion sein Verfasser in Ge­sell­schaft und Politik einnahm und wie seine Verse bewertet wurden. Aus der Betonung hand­werklichen Könnens ergibt sich auch die Frage nach der Erlernbarkeit des Dichtens. \n        Zeigen wird sich\, dass die chinesische Poetik des Altertums Gemein­samkeiten mit Vorstellungen des europäischen Mittelalters auf­weist\, aber möglicherweise Leser enttäuscht\, die an Goethe und Hölderlin geschult sind. \nVolker Klöpsch (geb. 1948) studierte Germanistik\, Anglistik\, Verglei­chende Lite­raturwissenschaft und Sinologie auf verschiedenen Kontinenten. Er lehrte in Taipeh\, Bochum und Köln\, legte zahlreiche Übersetzungen von Lyrik und Prosa aus verschiedenen Epochen der chinesischen Literatur vor\, gab mit Eva Müller das Lexikon der chinesischen Literatur (München 2004) heraus und ist Begrün­der und langjähriger Mitherausgeber der Hefte für ostasiatische Literatur.

SUMMARY:Christian Henriot & Cecile Armand \, Aix-Marseille University:  Taming the Digital Dragon. Textbases\, Datafication\, and the Study of Modern China
DESCRIPTION:23. Feb.\, 16:15 – 17:45\nKWZ 0.602 \nAbstract: \nSince the mid-1990s much has been written about digital history and how the Internet and the dematerialization of historical sources are transforming the ways in which historians can muster their materials. The major shift\, however\, occurred when historical sources became available in full text format. This finally opened the way to approaches and methods based on text analysis and natural language processing\, though with a particular challenge due to the very nature of historical sources. The ENP-China project has been at the forefront of developing a set of resources — text database\, spatial database\, and HistText — that break through the limits of historical investigation on modern China. \nSpeakers:\nChristian Henriot is Professor of modern Chinese history at Aix-Marseille University and a former Senior Research Fellow at the Institut Universitaire de France (2007-2012). He is the author and editor of several books on modern Chinese history\, including Prostitution and Sexuality in Shanghai. A Social History\, 1849-1949 (Cambridge UP\, 2001)\, In the Shadow of the Rising Sun. Shanghai under Japanese Occupation (Cambridge UP\, 2004)\, Visualizing China (Brill\, 2012) and Scythe and the city. A social history of death in Shanghai (1865-1965) (2016\, Stanford UP). Henriot is also the creator of a digital research and resource platform on Shanghai history (http://virtualshanghai.net) and the P.I. of the ENP-China Project (ERC) (https://www.enpchina.eu/)\nCécile Armand is a postdoctoral researcher in the ERC project “Elites\, Networks and Power in modern China” (Aix-Marseille University)\, a former postdoctoral fellow of the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange (2018-20) and Andrew Mellon postdoctoral fellow in the DHAsia program at Stanford University (2017-18). Her first monograph based on her dissertation will be published by De Gruyter (Berlin) under the title: Madmen in Shanghai: A social history of advertising in modern China. She is the author of several articles on advertising\, urban history\, transnational elites in modern China\, and digital history.  She is the creator of a digital research platform (https://madspace.org/).  \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Drama reading
DESCRIPTION:“Mr. Big\,” a play based on the leading figure of modern Chinese literature\, is the first attempt to visualize Lu Xun’s image on the stage. The play starts with Lu Xun’s death and then shows the flashback scenes of the protagonist’s encounters with the people he was most concerned about during his lifetime. The play highlights how they fell into conversations and were engaged in arguments. Li Jing uses stream-of-consciousness writing to capture Lu Xun’s most painful knots in his heart. \nAuthor: Li Jing\nLanguage: Chinese\nVenue: LSG University of Göttingen\nRegistration: yingming.theater@gmail.com \nAnyone who is interested in Chinese theater or learning the language and culture is welcome to join the reading event.

SUMMARY:Vortrag Francois Gipoloux\, CNRS Paris: The paradox of Wealthy Merchants and Weak Capital Accumulation in Late Imperial China
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 24\, 18:15 – 19:45\nKWZ 0.607 \nAbstract: \nThis presentation proposes another interpretation of the Europe/China divergence\, based on a redefinition of capitalism in much broader terms than its mere reduction to the industrial revolution. It recalls the reasons why Chinese merchant networks did not formalize autonomous institutions\, in order to confer a perennial scope to their affairs. It revisits the paradox of Chinese economic history where the emergencee of rich merchants does not translate into steady capital accumulation. What credit institutions facilitated the collection of capital in China? How did it circulate? Where were capital markets developing credit instruments\, allowing a wide exchange of information and the diffusion of financial innovations? This presentation raises the issue of late imperial China’s capital sterilization\, due to the fragmentation of financial institutions and high interest rates.  \nSpeaker:\nFrançois Gipouloux (Emeritus Research Director\, National Centre for Scientific Research\, [CNRS] France)\, is a specialist in Chinese economics with a professional experience in China\, Hong Kong and Japan of almost 20 years. He teaches at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales. He also directs the International Research Programme : « The Globalisation’s Origins and the Great Divergence : Trading Networks and the Trajectory of Economic Institutions—— Europe-Asia\, 1500-2000 »\, financed by CNRS and prestigious European and Asian universities. His research covers the dynamics of urbanisation in China\, and the historically comparative analysis of economic institutions and business practices in Europe and Asia. \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dr. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen  \nSponsor: \nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Sophia Kidd : Ontology of Self in Translating China's New Silk Roads
DESCRIPTION:Sophia Kidd\nTitle: Ontology of Self in Translating China’s New Silk Roads\nKWZ 0.609 \nAbstract:  \nIn this lecture\, I discuss how the ontological unit of ‘self’ cannot be taken for granted when discussing narratives\, translation of\, and methodology for understanding China’s New Silk Roads. I will do this by analyzing how the ontology of self remains fluid in translation of four key terms in China’s BRI narrative: ‘Five Pillars (Wu Tong 五通)’\, ‘Chinese Dream (Zhongguo Meng 中国梦)\,’ ‘Community of Common Destiny (Mingyun Gongtongti 命运共同体) \,’ and ‘harmony in diversity (he er bu tong 和而不同) .’ First\, we will look at the epistemological and ontological ‘self’ in Western thought in contradistinction to the Chinese notion of ‘self (ziwo 自我).’ By examining selected uses of the term ziwo in Chinese literature over the past two thousand years\, we arrive at a constructed Chinese notion of self which resembles the epistemological more than the ontological Western ‘self\,’ while failing to reach equivalency with either. This understanding will inform our lexical and contextual analysis of Wu Tong\, Zhongguo Meng\, Mingyun Gongtongti\, and he er bu tong.

SUMMARY:Arab-Chinese Entanglements in the Age of Global Empires
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wen Shuang (New York University of Shanghai) \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 Beijing\, Cairo\, Damascus\, London\, Nanjing\, Taipei\, Washington DC\, and Zhangzhou. \nOn Campus: ZHG (Zentrales Hörsaalgebäude) 104\nOn Zoom: The digital participation at this event is open to everyone who registers prior to the event: Registration \nFurther Details: https://www.worldmaking-china.org/en/veranstaltungen/lecture-Arab-Chinese-Entanglement-in-the-Age-of-Global-Empires.html

SUMMARY:Hun 魂 and Po 魄: An ancient Chinese approach to human psyche and soul
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Dr. Dominique Hertzer\nVisiting Lecturer\, Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nJuly 13\, 2022\, 10:00 AM \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. \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. \nThis lecture announcement is beyond our currently running lecture series. \nOrganizers:\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:The World of Everyday Political Thought: A Transcultural History of a 'Chinese' Rhetorical Curriculum\, ca. 1200-1600
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Shoufu Yi (University of British Columbia)\nOn Campus: Hörsaal 1.201\, Waldweg\nOn Zoom: The digital participation at this event is open to everyone who registers prior to the event: Registration \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. \nFurther Details: https://www.worldmaking-china.org/en/veranstaltungen/lecture-The-World-of-Everyday-Political-Thought_-A-Transcultural-History-of-a-Chinese-Rhetorical-Curriculum-ca_-1200_1600.html

SUMMARY:Lecture Wang Hui (Professor of History\, Tsinghua University): Heavenly Principle and the Trends of the Times: Some Thoughts on Confucianism
DESCRIPTION:July 08\, 2022\, 10:00 AM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \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. \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 \nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nSponsor: \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Lecture (Eugenio Menegon\, Associate Professor of History\, Boston University): Empire of Paper. Missionaries\, Diplomats\, and Early Sinologists as Social Carriers of Translingual Practices and Worldviews\, through the Story of a Manuscript Vocabulary between Beijing and Rome\, 1760s-1820s
DESCRIPTION:July 07\, 2022\, 18:00 (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.  \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.   \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series Conceptions of World Order and Their Social Carrier Groups.  \nSpeaker:  \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.  \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:Nationalism in China and Europe: Global Divergence and Convergence of an Idea
DESCRIPTION:Nationalism 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. \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). \nAccess: \nThis event will take place in a hybrid format: \nVenue: Universität Göttingen\, Oeconomicum\, OEC 0.169\nRegister to attend at:\nhttps://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/meeting/register/u50udOipqT8sGdRzNIVLa3ur2xQH4Irc85c3

SUMMARY:Lecture: Modernity without Alienation: New Possibilities for 20th century Chinese Buddhism\, Eyal Aviv Assistant Professor of Religion\, Department of Religion\, George Washington University
DESCRIPTION:July 01\, 2022\, 12:00 PM (GMT +2) in Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 0.606 (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \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. \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 \nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nSponsor: \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Lecture: Chinese Intellectuals’ Rethinking of Science\, Religion and Superstition in the 20th Century: From Yan Fu\, Liang Qichao to New Confucians Huang Ko-Wu 黃克武\, Academia Sinica
DESCRIPTION:June 17\, 2022\, 10:100 AM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \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. \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). \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China. \nOrganizers:\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nSponsor: \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen
