SUMMARY:Prof. Dr. Christine Moll-Murata (Ruhr-Universität Bochum): "North-East Asian peripheries in focus: industrialization\, architecture and city planning in Inner Mongolia"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nInner Mongolia belongs to the Northeast Asian Frontier Region as defined by Owen Lattimore. Since the beginning of the twentieth century\, this macro-region has been subjected to various political impacts\, Chinese\, Japanese\, and Russian. A recent research initiative based at Bochum and Duisburg sets out to consider especially the transnational and cross-border perspectives that connect this large area\, although it is divided by national frontiers. This talk presents an outlook on Inner Mongolia as a region which so far has not been recognized as one of the centers of industrialization on a global scale. Yet its mineral resources in coal and rare earths are very rich; the Baotou Iron and Steel group is one of the largest steel producers nationwide\, and in agribusiness the Inner Mongolian dairy companies rank topmost in China. How did this come about? Inner Mongolia seems to be a typical latecomer in industrialization with a short colonial history – or a very long one\, depending on the conception of colonialism. This presentation will focus on the period during the first half of the twentieth century\, when industrialization made several starts that were triggered by the competition among all the powers in the field. Its focus will be on the prerequisites of industrial development – infrastructure and communication. \nShort Bio:\nChristine Moll-Murata is chair professor at the Department for History of China\, Ruhr University Bochum\, Germany\, and honorary fellow of the International Institute of Social History\, Amsterdam. Her research focuses on labor history of China\, Taiwan\, and Japan\, the history of crafts and guilds in China\, perceptions of the future in East Asia since 1900 and the industrialization of Northeast Asia. Her recent book\, States and Crafts in the Qing Dynasty\, was published with Amsterdam University Press in 2018.

SUMMARY:Trittin trifft Volker Stanzel\, Ulrich Delius und Prof. Dr. Axel Schneider – „China – Aufstieg eines neuen Hegemons?“
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nChina gerät immer mehr in den Blick. Präsident Xi Jingping treibt auf vielen Ebenen offen und selbstbewusst den Wiederaufstieg Chinas voran. Als permanentes Mitglied im UN-Sicherheitsrat ist China bereits seit langem ein zentraler Akteur in den internationalen Beziehungen. Die chinesische Führung klammert in ihrem Handeln aus\, was ihrer Ansicht nach nicht wichtig ist – wie etwa die Menschenrechte. Die Inhaftierung Oppositioneller und die umfangreiche soziale Überwachung sind zwei Beispiele dafür. \nAls regionaler Hegemon hingegen agiert China klassisch unilateral mit militärischer Macht. Die zunehmende Militarisierung des Südchinesischen Meeres wird von den USA und Chinas Nachbarn\, die ebenfalls Ansprüche auf die strategisch wichtigen Gewässer erheben\, kritisiert. \nHandelspolitisch haben sowohl Deutschland als auch China als Exportnationen im gegenwärtigen Handelskonflikt mit den USA viel zu verlieren. Daher ist es umso wichtiger\, dass die Basis dieser Partnerschaft stimmt. Sie muss auf Chancengleichheit und Reziprozität beruhen. \nAuf der Veranstaltung „Trittin trifft: China –Aufstieg eines neuen Hegemons?“ möchte ich mit dem ehemaligen Botschafter Volker Stanzel (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Auswärtige Politik)\, dem Sinologen Prof. Dr. Axel Schneider (Universität Göttingen) und dem Direktor der Gesellschaft für bedrohte Völker Ulrich Delius am Dienstag\, den 13. November um 19 Uhr im DT-Keller in Göttingen diskutieren. Chinas Wiederaufstieg stellt Deutschland vor neue Herausforderung\, denn China fügt sich nicht einfach in die bestehende internationale Ordnung ein. China will mitbestimmen und Anpassungen des internationalen Regelwerks vornehmen\, die seinen eigenen\, anderen (Wert-)Vorstellungen entsprechen. \nHier erhalten Sie mehr Informationen.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Prof. Dr. YANG Yuling 杨玉玲 (Beijing Language and Culture University):  汉字造字法和汉字教学 / Struktur und Didaktik der chinesischen Schriftzeichen
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n摘要： 汉字是汉语学习和教学中的一大难点。本讲座将从以下角度解读汉字教学及学习的相关问题：1. 掌握汉字是学好汉语的前提吗？ 2. 汉字学习任务真的那么繁重吗？汉字学习有何理据？ 3. 汉字造字法：六书。科学指导还是陈旧概念？ 4. 词本位VS字本位，孰优孰劣？ 5. 汉字教学有哪些技巧及注意事项？ \nSchriftzeichen gelten als eine zentrale Schwierigkeit beim Erlernen der chinesischen Sprache. Der Vortrag wird die Vermittlung der chinesischen Schrift und deren Problematik aus folgenden Blickwinkeln beleuchten: 1. Muss man die chinesische Schrift erlernen\, um Chinesisch zu lernen? 2. Ist es tatsächlich eine so komplexe Aufgabe\, Schriftzeichen zu lernen? Gibt es Regeln oder Prinzipien des Schriftzeichenlernens? 3. Sind die „sechs Bildeweisen“ (liu shu) der Schriftzeichen aus dem chinesischen Altertum ein geeignetes System oder ein veraltetes Prinzip? 4. Die Diskussion um zibenwei vs. cibenwei: Stellen Wörter oder Schriftzeichen die Basis des Chinesischen dar? 5. Welche didaktischen Tricks gibt es in der Schriftzeichenvermittlung\, welche Fehler sollte man vermeiden? \nDer Vortrag findet in chinesischer Sprache statt. 讲座将用中文进行。 \nShort bio:\nProf. Dr. YANG Yuling\, Beijing Language and Culture University\, Doktor der chinesischen Philologie an der Fakultät für Chinesisch der Peking-Universität bei Prof. LU Jianming\, beschäftigt sich hauptsächlich mit der Grammatik des modernen Chinesisch und der Forschung zu Chinesisch als Fremdsprache und widmet sich der Ausbildung von Chinesischlehrkräften. Prof. Dr. Yang hat mehr als 40 Artikel zum Thema Chinesischdidaktik publiziert und sieben Bücher veröffentlicht\, unter anderem 《国际汉语教师语法教学手册》(„Grammatikunterricht – Ein Handbuch für den internationalen ChaF-Unterricht“) und《国际汉语语法与语法教学》(„ChaF-Grammatik und Grammatikunterricht“).

SUMMARY:Lecture: Mu-chou Poo (Chinese University of Hong Kong): "Old society\, New Belief: Religious transformation of Rome and China (1st – 6th c. CE)"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nRecently scholars in the study of antiquity around the world began to notice a trend of increasing interest in doing comparative studies. How should comparative study\, particularly of the ancient world\, be conducted\, what are the benefits\, what are the issues\, are still problems that draw debates among scholars. This talk intends to use the example of a comparative project to address some of the issues in the comparative study of antiquity.  This is a project comparing early Christianity in Rome and early Buddhism in China. Although a conference volume has been published\, the issues are far from being resolved. Further investigation of this subject is needed. \nShort bio:\nProf. Poo Mu-chou received a B.A. in History from National Taiwan University in 1975 and Ph.D. in Ph.D. in Near Eastern Studies from The Johns Hopkins University in 1984. He is a Professor of History and director of the Centre for the Comparative Study of Antiquity at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research interests include society and religion in ancient Egypt and China. His major publications include Burial and the Idea of Life and Death: Essay on Ancient Chinese Religion\, Wine and Wine Offering in the Religion of Ancient Egypt\, In Search of Personal Welfare: A View of Ancient Chinese Religion\, Enemies of Civilization: Attitudes toward Foreigners in Ancient Mesopotamia\, Egypt and China and Daily Life in Ancient China.

SUMMARY:Prof. Chen Huaiyu (Arizona State University): The animal turn in the study of global history: a religious perspective
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis talk will examine some key issues that concern scholars who attempt to figure out the historical roots of our contemporary problems. One the one hand\, some scholars have been debating the intellectual and religious cause of the ecological crisis and the extinction of animal species across the global village. For instance\, Lynn White Jr. noted that the Christian dogma in the West contributed to the dominance of humans over animals and nature. On the other hand\, the development of modern biotechnology and genetic engineering might have profoundly changed the non-human animals in the technology-assisted farm industry. The modern state of biotechnology has ended the traditional contract between humans and nature. Numerous plants and animals are cultivated and reared in the human-created or modified environment. Animals are no longer aware of nature’s changes when they do not witness the Sunrise and Sunset. Some ethicists and religious scholars are concerned that the animality of these technology-assisted reared animals is deprived because these animals now live in a human-made environment\, which cannot even be called an ecological system. The human-animal relations have entered a new phase. This talk hopes to offer some observations about how the roles of major religions have been redefined and reshaped in the global ecological crisis and farm industry. \nShort bio:\nHuaiyu Chen received his MA in history from Peking University\, China and Ph.D in religious studies from Princeton University\, USA. Currently he is an associate professor at Arizona State University where he teaches Buddhism and Chinese Religions. He has published several monographs and numerous articles on Buddhist rituals and monastic culture\, the interactions among Buddhism\, Christianity\, and Daoism\, animals in Chinese religions\, Western missionaries in China\, and modern Chinese intellectual history. In this summer\, as a visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin\, he is finishing up his English book on animals in medieval Chinese religions.

SUMMARY:Marijk van der Wende and Marcus Düwell (Utrecht University): The New Silk Road: Implications for higher education and research cooperation between China and Europe
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nRecent geopolitical events such as Brexit and the US turning its back on international trade and cooperation create waves of uncertainty in higher education regarding international cooperation\, the free movement of students\, academics\, scientific knowledge\, and ideas. Meanwhile China is launching new global initiatives with its New Silk Road (or One Belt One Road) project\, which could potentially span and integrate major parts of the world across the Euro-Asian continents. But likely on new and different conditions\, also for higher education. \nHow will the NSR affect European higher education and research? What types of academic flows and activities emerge along the NSR\, how do universities respond\, under what conditions are these activities taking place\, who defines these\, based on what values\, and do we actually understand these values at all?  \nAbout the speakers:\nMarijk van der Wende is Distinguished Professor of Higher Education at Utrecht University’s Faculty of Law\, Economics and Governance. Her research focuses on the impact of globalization and internationalization on higher education. She is also an affiliate faculty and research associate at the Center for Studies in Higher Education (CSHE) at the University of California Berkeley and member of the Academia Europaea. Previously she held full professorial positions at VU University Amsterdam (2006-2015)\, the University of Twente (2001-2016)\, and was a visiting scholar at Harvard University (Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies)\, Boston College (Centre for International Higher Education)\, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (Graduate School of Education)\, and the University of California Berkeley (CSHE).  \nMarcus Düwell holds a chair for philosophical ethics at Utrecht University. He is director of the Ethics Institute of Utrecht University and director of the Utrecht Research Institute for Philosophy and Religious Studies. From 2005-2012 he was director of the Netherlands Research School for Practical Philosophy. Düwell studied Philosophy\, German Literature and Theology in Tübingen and Munich. His PhD-thesis at the university of Tübingen was a philosophical investigation about the relationship between ethics and aesthetics. From 1993-2001 he was academic coordinator of the Interdepartmental Center for Ethics in the Sciences and Humanities at the University of Tübingen. His research interests include bioethics\, ethics of climate change and general topics of moral and political philosophy\, particular the ethics of human dignity and human rights.

SUMMARY:Vortragsreihe „On Stage: Chinesische Oper im Kulturkontakt“ – Dr. Andreas Seifert\, „Bühnen aus Papier. Popularisierung von Opern- und Theaterstoffen im chinesischen Comic“
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn diesem Vortrag geht es um die Darstellung und Wiedergabe von Opern und anderen Bühnenstücken im chinesischen Comic (lianhuanhua 连环画). Dabei wird ein historischer Bogen gespannt\, der bei der Bühne als Ausgangspunkt der chinesischen Comicentwicklung ansetzt\, sich über die weitere Entwicklung der Comics als Mittel der politischen\, kulturellen und technischen Bildung erstreckt und mit ihrer Indienstnahme für die politische Indoktrination während der späten Jahre der Kulturrevolution endet. Auch nach dem Beginn der Politik von Reform und Öffnung spielten die chinesischen Comics eine zentrale Rolle in der kulturellen Bildung. Anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen wird der besondere Stellenwert\, den die Wiedergabe von Bühnenstücken (mit Schwerpunkt Oper) im Comic einnahm\, veranschaulicht und analysiert. Die dem Vortrag zugrundeliegende These lautet\, dass es gerade das lianhuanhua ist\, das zur Popularisierung von Opern- und Bühnenstücken in China beigetragen hat. \nShort bio:\nAndreas Seifert ist promovierter Sinologe und hat sich in Studium und Forschung mit populären Bildmedien aus China beschäftigt. 2010 kuratierte er zusammen mit dem Cartoon-Museum Basel die Ausstellung „Wortbilder“ zu chinesischen Comics. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt seiner wissenschaftlichen Tätigkeit ist die Auseinandersetzung mit der Militär- und Sicherheitspolitik der Volksrepublik China. \nMehr Informationen zur Vortragsreihe “On Stage: Chinesische Oper im Kulturkontakt” finden Sie hier.

SUMMARY:Saori Katada (University of Southern California): "The BRICS and Collective Financial Statecraft"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn the first decade of the 21st century\, five rising powers (Brazil\, Russia\, India\, China\, and South Africa) formed an exclusive and informal international club\, the BRICS.  Although neither revolutionaries nor extreme revisionists\, the BRICS perceive an ongoing global power shift and contest the West’s pretensions to permanent stewardship of the existing economic order. Together they have exercised collective financial statecraft\, employing their expanding financial and monetary capabilities for the purpose of achieving larger foreign policy goals. This volume examines the forms and strategies of such collective financial statecraft\, and the motivations of each individual government for collaborating through the BRICS club. Their cooperative financial statecraft takes various forms\, ranging from pressure for “inside reforms” of either multilateral institutions or global markets\, to “outside options” exercised through creating new multilateral institutions or jointly pushing for new realities in international financial markets. To the surprise of many observers\, the joint actions of the BRICS are largely successful.  Although each member has its unique rationale for collaboration\, the largest member\, China\, controls resources that permit it the greatest influence in intra-club decision-making. The BRICS cooperate due to both common aversions (for example\, resentment over being perennial junior partners in global economic and financial governance and resistance to infringements on their autonomy due to U.S. dollar dominance and financial power) and common interests (such as obtaining greater voice in international institutions\, as the IMF). The group seeks reforms\, influence\, and enhanced leadership roles within the liberal capitalist global system. Where blocked\, they experiment with parallel multilateral institutions in which they are the dominant rule-makers. The future of the BRICS depends not only on their bargaining power and adjustment to market players\, but also on their ability to overcome domestic impediments to sustainable economic growth\, the basis for their international influence.

SUMMARY:Dominique Hertzer: "Die Resonanz von Körper und Geist –  Zur Philosophie des Geistes im Chinesischen Denken"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nDie chinesische Vorstellung vom „Geist“ (shen 神) wird oftmals mit der westlichen Vorstellung von der „Psyche“ oder „der Seele“ gleichgesetzt. Doch gibt es im Chinesischen Denken überhaupt Vorstellungen\, die unseren Begriffen von Psyche oder Seele entsprechen? Ausgehend von den klassischen Fragen des Leib-Seele Diskurses im Abendland werden wir uns der chinesischen Vorstellung nähern\, die das Verhältnis von Geist (shen 神) und Körper (xing 形) generell als eines der Polarität verhandelt. Es wird zu zeigen sein\, dass die Ebene des Geistig-Seelischen im Chinesischen Denken nicht im Sinne einer Einheit – also des „einen“ Geistes oder der „einen“ Seele -\, sondern in Gestalt einer fünffachen Auffächerung des Geistes zu verstehen ist\, die sich  in Resonanz zu den verschiedenen (korrespondierenden) Aspekten des  Leibes bewegt. Im Zentrum steht die Frage\, ob es in einem derartigen Resonanzverhältnis eine Ursache- Wirkungsbeziehung zwischen Geist und Körper geben kann und welcher Art ihre gegenseitige Beeinflussung ist. Vor dem Hintergrund der gegenwärtigen Diskussion um die Frage nach der Freiheit des menschlichen Willens und des Bewusstseins\, wie sie derzeit in der Philosophie und den Neurowissenschaften geführt wird\, mag der Blick auf das Chinesische Denken vielleicht auch an dieser Stelle eine neue Perspektive zu eröffnen\, die die Diskussion von festgefahrenen Standpunkten befreit.

SUMMARY:Vortragsreihe „On Stage: Chinesische Oper im Kulturkontakt“ – Karsten Gundermann\, „China und die Barockmusik. Von Chinoiserien\, Missionaren und gegenwärtigen Experimenten“
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn der Chinamode des Barockzeitalters verbindet sich europäische Neugier auf Kurioses und Fremdes mit Projektionen eigener Träume auf das ferne „Reich der Mitte“. Ballette\, höfische Opern und Genrestücke der Kammermusik verlangten plötzlich nach chinesischen Klängen. Wie befriedigten die klassischen Komponisten Europas diese Nachfrage und welche Vorlagen nutzten sie? Was wusste man zur gleichen Zeit in China von der europäischen Musik? Wie fand sie Eingang in die chinesische Kultur und was hielt das östliche Publikum von ihr? Der Komponist Karsten Gundermann gewährt in seinem Vortrag Einblicke in die chinesische und europäische Musikgeschichte\, die er mit Hörbeispielen aus der Klassik und mit Ausschnitten aus dem eigenen Schaffen unterlegt. \nShort bio:\n\nKarsten Gundermann studierte Komposition in Dresden\, Beijing und New York. Mit der 1993 uraufgeführten „Nachtigall“ schuf er als erster westlicher Komponist eine Pekingoper\, die in China und Europa große Erfolge feierte. Mit einer eigenwilligen Neubearbeitung von Glucks „Le Cinesi“ glückte Gundermann im Jahr 2010 eine Verbindung von Pekingoper und Barockoper. Im Jahr 2017 erregte sein Ausstellungsprojekt „Secret Sounds of China“ große Aufmerksamkeit. \nMehr Informationen zur Vortragsreihe “On Stage: Chinesische Oper im Kulturkontakt” finden Sie hier.

SUMMARY:Dr. Liza Wing Man Kam: "Underneath the grand yellow imperial roofs of Martyrs’ Shrines: Taiwan’s colonial past and onwards and the political symbolisms at play"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe paper investigates the shift of power symbolism represented in Shinto Shrines and Martyrs’ Shrines since the colonial era in Taiwan\, through putting architectural/urban design theories into dialogue with political history. Three architectural complexes\, Hualien Martyrs’ Shrine\, Taipei National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine and the Imperial Palace in Peking are interpreted in material and spatial terms. \nHualien Martyrs’ Shrine and the Taipei National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine\, located on the former sites of two annihilated Shinto Shrines built by the Japanese colonisers\, were commissioned and reconstructed by the Republican’s Party in Taiwan in the 1970s. Shifting from being the site enshrined with the spirits who fought to contribute the expansion of the Japanese Empire\, the current Martyrs’ Shrines were designated to commemorate the sacrificed lives who defended the Island of Taiwan in the Sino-Japanese War. Stripped off from the Japanese zukuri (architectural orders for Shinto Shrine constructions)\, the shrines are bedecked with the grand Imperial yellow roofs\, which accommodated the Chinese imperial power in the late Ming and Qing Dynasty– the very power that the Republicans strove to overthrow during the Xinhai Revolution in 1911. \nThrough analysing the Shinto Shrines\, the Martyrs’ Shrines and their material history\, I contend that a continual interplay of political symbolism via architectural representations from different authorities\, emerged from the Japanese colonial era\, followed by the Republicans’ authority since the Post-war era and till now with manipulation of the notion of ‘colonial legacy/ heritage’–essentially never ceases\, despite the situational considerations to the changing political and economic agendas proclaimed. \nShort bio:\nDr. Liza Wing Man Kam is Research Fellow (Architecture and Urban Studies) at the Max-Planck Institute for Religious and Ethnics Diversity and Assistant Professor of Urban Studies and Chinese Societies at the Department of East Asian Studies at the Georg-August University of Göttingen. She was trained as architect and later researcher in Hong Kong\, Singapore\, Liverpool\, London\, Paris and Germany. Her work on Hong Kong and Taiwan depicts the transformation of political\, societal and cultural symbolisms represented by the colonial urban heritage in their unique post-colonial settings by illustrating the inter-relation between architecture\, historiography\, identity formation and hence civic awareness. She currently investigates colonial Shinto Shrines in the Japanese occupied Taiwan as both religious space and political symbolisms for enunciating the different powers in post-war Taiwan. Her work puts into dialogue the local memory and the grand narrated history while interpreting the meaning of colonial urban heritage and colonial legacy.

SUMMARY:Florian Coulmas (Universität Duisburg-Essen): “Die Alphabetschrift ist an und für sich die intelligentere.“ Überlegungen zur Bewertung von Schriftsystemen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Chinesischen
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSind manche Schriftsysteme besser als andere? Gibt es sinnvolle und verlässliche Kriterien zur Bewertung von Schriftsystemen? Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Fragen vergleicht dieser Vortrag die chinesische Schrift mit anderen Schriften. Ausgangpunkt ist das in der Überschrift zitierte Verdikt des deutschen Philosophen Georg Friedrich Hegel\, das eine positive Beantwortung der Frage nach einer möglichen qualitativen Bewertung von Schriftsystemen nahelegt. Kritisch zu untersuchen sind jedoch die Maßstäbe\, die angelegt wurden\, um zu dem darin ausgedrückten Urteil zu kommen. Einer der zu diskutierenden Maßstäbe ist das Verhältnis von Schrift und Sprache\, das in diesem Zusammenhang näher betrachtet werden soll. \nShort bio:\nFlorian Coulmas ist Senior-Professor am IN-EAST Institut für Ostasienstudien der Universität Duisburg-Essen. Er hat 25 Jahre an verschiedenen japanischen Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen gearbeitet und leitete von 2004 bis 2014 das Deutsche Institut für Japanstudien in Tokio (https://www.dijtokyo.org/)\, von wo er an das IN-EAST-Institut ging.

SUMMARY:Bene Bassetti (University of Warwick): „Chinese as a Second Language Writing System: Some Less Widely Researched Issues“
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis talk will explore some less widely researched topics related to the learning and use of hanzi and pinyin in learners of Chinese as a Foreign Language. First\, we will look at how the interword spacing conventions of CFL learners’ first languages affect their Chinese word awareness and their reading of hanzi sentences and texts. Then\, we will see how the grapheme-phoneme correspondences of pinyin affect metaphonological awareness and speech production. Finally\, we will discuss the results of an on-going project that investigates the effects of the native script on hanzi handwriting. All these issues have implications for teaching practice\, including the use of interword spacing in CFL reading materials\, the use of pinyin for teaching pronunciation\, and best practice in the teaching of handwriting. At a theoretical level\, it will be argued that the written forms of both the first and the second language have an important and sometimes under-rated impact on the learning and use of a second language\, both written and spoken. \nShort bio:\nBene Bassetti is an Associate Professor in Applied Linguistics at the University of Warwick\, and is researching second language learning and bilingualism\, particularly involving the Chinese\, English and Italian languages. Bene has co-founded the journal Writing Systems Research\, obtained research funding by the Leverhulme Foundation and other sponsors\, engaged in international and interdisciplinary collaborations\, co-edited volumes and special issues\, organised events\, and presented papers around the world.

SUMMARY:Iain Johnston (Harvard University): China and International Order: What Order? Which Order?
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe discourse about China’s challenge to the liberal world order assumes that such an order exists. This talk argues that there are instead multiple orders in different arenas (military\, trade\, finance\, information\, environment\, among others)\, and that there are tensions within and between these orders. China supports some of these orders\, wants to reform others\, and opposes elements of others. We need new and more sophisticated ways of measuring order and describing the relationship of states to these orders. \nShort Bio:\nAlastair Iain Johnston (PhD University of Michigan\, 1993) is the Gov. James Albert Noe and Linda Noe Laine Professor of China in World Affairs in the Government Department at Harvard University. He has written on socialization theory\, identity and political behavior\, and strategic culture\, mostly with application to the study of East Asian international relations and Chinese foreign policy.

SUMMARY:Dr. Zhang Chunjie (University of California\, Davis): "Weber\, China\, and Cultural Pessimism"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis talk attempts to read Max Weber’s treatise on Chinese Confucianism and Taoism\, contained in his magnum opus Wirtschaftsethik der Weltreligionen\, as a critique of a rationalism that Weber sees as the core component of Christian puritanism and as the foundational force for the rise of capitalism in Europe and America. This talk is cautious about understanding Weber’s theoretical effort as a triumphant historicist and cultural legitimation for European capitalism in the early twentieth century. Rather it discusses a deep cultural pessimism that informs Weber’s transcultural endeavor. Moreover\, the talk hopes to develop the concept “world as method” through the reading of Weber’s works. \nShort bio:\nFrau Zhang ist Associate Professor of German an der University of California in Davis\, USA. Ihr Buch „Transculturality and German Discourse in the Age of European Colonialism” wurde 2017 von Northwestern University Press publiziert. Ihre Forschungsinteressen sind das globale 18. Jahrhundert\, postkoloniale Theorie\, komparative literarische Moderne und Asian-German studies. Nach einem Studium an der Peking Universität\, China (B.A.) und der Universität Tübingen (M.A.) promovierte Frau Zhang an der Duke University.

SUMMARY:Yang LU (The University of Nottingham): „Recent Research on SLA in Chinese and Pedagogic Issues“ (not public)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nDue to the great interest in learning Chinese as a foreign language (CFL)\, over the past two decades there has been an increased number of Studies related to Second Language Acquisition in Chinese (SLAC). Though the research field has not yet been fully established with a framework and more specific guidelines\, there have been some successful attempts and projects examining the current situation of SLAC.\nThis talk includes three parts: (1) a review of the recent SLAC research on phonology\, syntax\, the logographic script and intercultural competence; (2) an introduction to the interlanguage of CFL learners; (3) a summary of pedagogic innovations in the classroom. Most of the studies presented are based on empirical evidence and some are drawn from experiments or action research by front-line CFL teachers on CFL programmes in the US\, Europe\, China and other parts of the world. In addition\, this talk is selective of the research and studies reviewed and presented in line with the direction that I propose for a new development era of SLAC which might be challenging to the SLAC academics and CFL professionals. \nShort bio:\nYang LU is Assistant Professor of Chinese Language at the University of Nottingham /UK. Prof. Lu studied the impact of teaching methodologies on second language acquisition and the relationship between the discourse features in learners‘ spoken language and their overall speaking proficiency. Apart from several articles on CFL Teaching and Learning\, she is co-editor of the book „Teaching and Learning Chinese in Higher Education: standardisation\, pedagogy and learner language“ (Routledge) and is an external trainer for British Council’s Chinese Assistant programme. Yang Lu is also a Senior Fellow of Higher Education Academy\, U.K. and has been deputy-chair of the British Chinese Language Teaching Society from 2012 to 2016.

SUMMARY:Prof Liu Kang (Duke University): Chinese Exceptionalism: A Research Agenda
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThis lecture explores the emergent Chinese exceptionalism in order to search for a possible research agenda from interdisciplinary approaches. It will focus on modern times from Mao to the present\,  especially the ideological formations of Sinicization of Marxism (Chinese Marxism or Mao Zedong Thought)\,and “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” (from Deng to Xi).

SUMMARY:Voices of Struggle: LGTBQ & Feminist Activism in China and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Symposium: Academia meets Activism: Feminism in China \nVoices of Struggle explores the complex entanglements between activism and academia in transnational perspective. What does it mean to be an engaged or activist scholar today? How should we think about the connections/separations between the two spheres of activism and academia? And how can activists and academics best combine their strengths to effect change? In what ways are deepening transnational connections re-shaping the practice of activism around the globe? It brings together leading scholars and activists to discuss these questions in relation to the development of feminism and LGTBQ activism in China and beyond. \nWorkshop: April 17\, 13:30 – 18:15\nVenue: Emmy-Noether-Saal\, Tagungs- und Veranstaltungshaus Alte Mensa\, Wilhelmsplatz 3\, Göttingen \nParticipants：\nBao Hongwei (University of Nottingham)\nHarriett Evans (University of Westminster)\nLi Tingting (London)\nKimberly Manning (Concorida University) \nFilm Screening: April 18\, 18:00 – 20:00\nLocation: ZHG 002 \nVachina Monologues 来自阴道\nFanPopo|28’|2013\nDocumentary China\nLanguage: Mandarin\nSubtitles: English \nParticipants:\nBao Hongwei (University of Nottingham)\nFan Popo (Berlin)\nLi Tingting (London)

SUMMARY:Prof. Milinda Bannerjee (Ludwig-Maximilian University ): "Sovereignty\, Natural Law and the Ironies of Decolonization: India and the Tokyo Trial"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIs the demand for codified international criminal justice antithetical to the demand for agonistic decolonization of global political\, military\, and economic power? Or can the establishment of global norms of justice be made compatible with\, and even grounded upon\, anti-colonial and democratic interventions? By analysing Indian involvement in the Tokyo Trial (1946-48)\, this paper foregrounds some of the key complexities at stake in the dialectics between global norm-building and anti-colonial agonism. While existing scholarship on the Tokyo Trial has mainly dwelt upon legal and political history\, I draw upon methodological debates in the nascent field of global intellectual history to sharply focus on the tense relation between sovereignty and natural law which mediated discussions on justice in relation to colonialism\, in the Tokyo moment as well as in its long aftermath. I give particular attention to the dissenting Indian judge at the trial\, Radhabinod Pal (1886-1967)\, and contextualize his controversial judgment in relation to (anti-) colonial politics and justice\, not merely in relation to the Japanese Empire – and the decades-old Indian engagement with Japanese models of sovereignty – but also in relation to British India\, Dutch Indonesia\, French Indochina\, and Korea. In the process\, I relate the dynamics of the trial to transregional flows in legal-moral vocabularies and the emergence of international legal institutions\, including\, most notably\, the post-war International Law Commission. Simultaneously\, I relate Pal to other Indian actors\, such as Agent General Girja Shankar Bajpai (1891-1954) and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964)\, who related (anti-) imperial anxieties to the politics of the Tokyo Trial. Further\, I show how the trial linked the paradoxes of India’s decolonization to foreign policy debates and questions about ‘race’ in relation to the United States and the United Kingdom. Ultimately\, I theorize about how the Tokyo Trial can shed novel conceptual light on the tortuous ironies involved in decolonization processes\, as regimes of sovereignty – and sovereign violence – were combated\, translated\, and expropriated across Asia through transimperial and transnational entanglements\, often with haunting long-term consequences.

SUMMARY:Prof. Liu Tao (University of Duisburg-Essen): "The Welfare Regime Within and Beyond Borders: The Openness and Closedness of Chinese Social Policy"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe functional operation of conventional Chinese welfare regime was closely linked to institutionally created forms of discrepancies and borders entrenching the status differences between different social classes as well as among welfare clients from different social spaces (e.g. rural or urban areas). Since the Millennium an unprecedented and fast expanding social policy in the Chinese history has softened the welfare boundaries of classes\, regions and functionally segregated welfare spaces substantially even the welfare class ‘borders’ won’t entirely disappear in the short term. A conceptual notion of ‘incomplete universalism’ contributes to outlining the main trends of social policy development in contemporary China: on the one hand\, residents from different origins are increasingly considered as national social citizens; on the other hand\, the notion of a national social citizenship and its concrete implementation are heavily constrained by the uneven institutional welfare arrangements created in the past.

SUMMARY:Francois Gipouloux (CNRS): „Maritime trade expansion in late Ming China“
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMaritime trade during the late Ming was characterised by the intermingling of tributary trade\, private trade and piracy. The establishment of the ban on maritime trade (海禁 haijin) gave way to a scarcity of goods entering China and to a great profitability of smuggling activities. While the ban on maritime trade never succeded in eliminating the so called Japanese pirates (倭寇 woko)\, it opened the possibilities of huge profits to illegal trade. Fujian coast offered many opportunities to smugglers. \nSeveral records of judicial cases\, are reported by Wang Zaijin in 1611 along with and local records from Fujian and Zhejiang gazeteers give a precise description of maritime trade procedures in the 17th century. They reveal the complex mechanism of pooling capital and cargoes before venturing for overseas trade. It also describes in a very vivid way the involvement of local administration in a still prohibited trade with Japan. It finally highlights however the lack of financial instruments to mobilise capital and secure a cargo\, and underline the limits of the management of the relationship between investors\, ship-owners\, and operators. \nShort bio:\nFrançois Gipouloux (Emeritus Research Director\, National Centre for Scientific Research\, [CNRS] France)\, has worked almost 20 years in Asia (Peking\, Tokyo\, Hong Kong). His research covers the dynamics of urbanisation in China and the comparative analysis of economic institutions and business practices in Europe and Asia from the 16th to the 21st century. His recent publications include: The Asian Mediterranean\, Edward Elgar\, 2011 (also translated in Korean and Chinese)\, and China’s Urban Century (Edward Elgar\, 2015).

SUMMARY:CeMEAS The 12th East Asia Research Salon: Theorizing the Current Global Order in the Era of Globalization\, Regional Integration and the Resurgence of Nationalism: Global China\, Regional EU\, and National US?
DESCRIPTION:Xiao (Alvin) Yang\, University of Kassel  \nAbstract: \nWhy has China become the defender of globalization whereas the US\, who is supposed to be the defender of globalization\, has turned towards more nationalist and inward-looking direction? Moreover\, why is European Union\, the model for regional integration\, not only facing economic\, financial and migration crises\, but also the crisis of the resurgence of nationalist movements within its member states?  This dissertation aims to theorize the current global order after 2008 where there is an on-going contradictory and simultaneous process of globalization\, regional integration and the resurgence of nationalism. It theorizes the relationships among China\, the EU and the US in relation to their respective domestic conditions\, with a particular focus on the bilateral Sino-American and Sino-EU relations. \nMoreover\, it goes beyond the European-Americano-centric international relations(IR) and global political economy (GPE) theories by bringing in non-Western IR/GPE theories. Particularly\, it situates in the theoretical discourse and engages with the research programs of the emerging Chinese IR theories. It critically and systematically carries out literature review on both Western and Chinese IR/GPE theories and their respective critiques by selecting each work (e.g. journal article\, book) based on a set of criteria\, such as the relevance to the research questions\, the level of intellectual and policy influence\, and uniqueness of a theory.  How these competing theories conceptualize hegemony\, the relationship between a hegemonic power and a rising power\, the notions of international relations and global order are compared and contrasted and then synthesized in order to shed light upon the current global order. Furthermore\, it systematically reveals the underlying epistemological\, ontological\, methodological and historical assumptions of these theories to illustrate how and why they interpret the same phenomena differently as well as to bridge these assumptions to make fruitful analyses. \nTo test these competing theories\, a set of hypotheses are generated from their respective theoretical implications and predictions. Subsequently\, these hypotheses are tested on different institutional dimensions by critically examining the foreign policy of China\, EU\, and the US\, as well as applying set theory to analyze their respective bilateral and multilateral trade arrangements and security configurations. They are further substantiated by macro indices\, such as flows and trends of trade\, investment\, capital\, and currency.  Furthermore\, China’s Belt and Road initiative (B&R)\, formerly named as One Belt One Road (OBOR)\, is chosen to be the main case study. Finally\, this dissertation aims to construct and develop a holistic theoretical and conceptual framework that encompasses politico-economic and socio-cultural dimensions to theorize the current global order. \nAbout the presenter: \nXiao (Alvin) Yang is currently a PhD Candidate in Political Science at the University of Kassel in Germany.  His dissertation aims to theorize the current global order by focusing on international relations among and within East Asia\, Europe and North America where there are on-going tensions among globalization\, regional integration and the resurgence of nationalism. He holds a master degree in Chinese European Economics and Business from the Berlin School of Economics and Law and a master degree in International Business from the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in China. He also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music with honours at York University in Canada. Furthermore\, he studied political science\, business management and anthropology at Stockholm University\, explored sociology at University of Toronto\, studied German at Heidelberg Universität\, Humboldt Universität and München Universität\, as well as French at Université Jean Monnet in France\, Western University at Trois-Pistoles and Laval Université in Quebec.
