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: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. Johnston is the author of Cultural Realism: Strategic Culture and Grand Strategy in Chinese History (Princeton 1995) and Social States: China in International Institutions\, 1980-2000 (Princeton University Press\, 2008)\, and is co-editor of Engaging China: The Management of an Emerging Power (Routledge 1999)\, New Directions in the Study of China’s Foreign Policy (Stanford 2006)\, Crafting Cooperation: Regional Institutions in Comparative Perspective (Cambridge 2007)\, Measuring Identity: A Guide for Social Scientists (Cambridge 2009)\, and Perception and Misperception in American and Chinese Views of the Other (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace 2015). \nInformation from Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Greg Distelhorst (MIT) & Diana Fu (University of Toronto): Citizenship & Bureaucracy in China
DESCRIPTION:Articulating Authoritatian Citizenship in China\nGreg Distelhorst (MIT)  \nEvaluating the Bureaucracy in China and the US\nDiana Fu (University of Toronto) \nShort Bio:\nGreg Distelhorst:\nGreg Distelhorst is the Mitsubishi Career Development Professor and an Assistant Professor in Global Economics and Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management.\nHis research explores the social impact of multinational business\, focusing on how multinationals engage with labor-intensive manufacturers in the developing world. He examines initiatives to regulate labor standards in the supply chains of firms like Nike and HP. This research sits at the intersection of multinational management\, industrial relations\, and political economy.\nDistelhorst also studies Chinese politics and public policy\, focusing on China’s institutions of government responsiveness and accountability. He examines how citizens exploit these institutions and what prompts unelected officials to respond to citizen demands.\nHis research has been published in Management Science\, Regulation & Governance\, Comparative Political Studies\, and the Quarterly Journal of Political Science.\n(Information from MIT) \nDiana Fu:\nDiana Fu is an assistant professor of Asian Politics. Her research examines the relationship between popular contention\, state power\, and civil society in contemporary China. Her book\, “Mobilizing Without the Masses\,” (2018\, Cambridge Studies in Contentious Politics Series and Columbia University’s Studies of the Weatherhead East Asia Institute)\, examines state control and civil society contention in China. Articles that are part of this broader project have appeared in Governance (2017)\, Comparative Political Studies (2017)\, and The China Journal (2018)\, among others.\n(Information from University of Toronto) \nDesign & Poster: CeMEAS\nImage:International Monetary Fund\, _MG_9418 \, CC BY-SA 2.0.\,https://flic.kr/p/mnhFcy

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: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. Er schreibt regelmäßig für die Neue Zürcher Zeitung und andere Zeitungen. Er ist Mitherausgeber des International Journal of the Sociology of Language und hat neben zahlreichen Aufsätzen in Fachzeitschriften und herausgegebenen Werken 25 Monographien verfasst\, darunter Writing Systems. An Introduction to Their Linguistic Analysis\, Cambridge University Press\, Cambridge 2003.
