SUMMARY:Lecture: Leigh Jenco (Professor of Political Theory\, London School of Economics\, Department of Government): The Ming-Qing Transition as a Philosophical Problem
DESCRIPTION:Please register in advance: https://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUqdeysqDMvE9zMw_ZJ55l2L9xVPUb67XwZ \nAbstract:\nThe transition from the Ming dynasty to the Qing dynasty was not experienced as a sharp break for those who lived through it\, but it has come to stand in the minds of later Chinese literati as nothing less than an existential crisis for Chinese identity—both driving and driven by a shift in intellectual perspective that emerged in the early years of Qing consolidation. Many educated literati retrospectively blamed the fall of the Ming on the abstruse philosophizing that preoccupied followers of Wang Yangming\, a sixteenth-century statesman\, frontier general and philosopher whose rejection of state-sponsored Confucian orthodoxy rode a wave of interest in metaphysical speculation about the sources of moral knowledge. In its place—just as the government policy adapted from an inward-looking\, Han-dominated state to a cosmopolitan\, expansionist inner Asian empire—seventeenth- and eighteenth-century literati turned their attention to the historical and philological verification of classic texts\, inaugurating the “evidential learning” (kaozheng) that twentieth-century Chinese reformers would see as proof of an indigenous\, modern “scientific spirit.” In this paper I argue that such divisions obscure from view the extent to which the Manchu victory and the territorial consolidation that followed continued the strong parallels that marked both Chinese and European societies in early modernity. There are thus important philosophical consequences for periodizing the Chinese early modern period as an abrupt transition from “Ming to Qing” or “philosophy to philology”. I use my current research to offer examples of these consequences. Specifically\, I argue that characterizing this time period in terms of a rupture between dynasties\, rather than as a more general epoch of early modernity\, leaves us unable to assess philosophically the ways in which ideas and practices thematized by scholars of Yangming learning enabled particular kinds of discourse about human difference to take shape\, and in turn how empirical information about human kinds generated by Ming-era territorial expansion\, travel and commerce was fed back into philosophical thinking about moral possibility and the textual tradition that articulated it. \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.

SUMMARY:Alessandro Rippa (Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society\, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München): "Borderland Infrastructures: Trade\, Development\, and Control in Western China"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: \nAcross the Chinese borderlands\, investments in large-scale transnational infrastructure such as roads and special economic zones have increased exponentially over the past two decades. Based on long-term ethnographic research\, Borderland Infrastructures addresses a major contradiction at the heart of this fast-paced development: small-scale traders have lost their historic strategic advantages under the growth of massive Chinese state investment and are now struggling to keep their businesses afloat. Concurrently\, local ethnic minorities have become the target of radical resettlement projects\, securitization\, and tourism initiatives\, and have in many cases grown increasingly dependent on state subsidies. At the juncture of anthropological explorations of the state\, border studies\, and research on transnational trade and infrastructure development\, Borderland Infrastructures provides new analytical tools to understand how state power is experienced\, mediated\, and enacted in Xinjiang and Yunnan. \nMore information and a link to the PDF of the book which is fully Open Access:\nhttps://www.aup.nl/en/book/9789463725606/borderland-infrastructures \nSHORT BIO:\nAlessandro is a social anthropologist interested in issues surrounding infrastructure\, borders\, globalisation\, conservation and the environment\, particularly in the contexts of the China-Myanmar borderlands and the Italian Alps. He is the author of Borderland Infrastructures: Trade\, Development\, and Control in Western China (Amsterdam University Press\, 2020) and of numerous articles in journals such as Social Anthropology\, The China Journal\, Political Geography\, and Ethnos. Alessandro obtained his PhD in Social Anthropology at the University of Aberdeen in 2015\, and held postdoctoral positions at LMU Munich and at the University of Colorado\, Boulder. He is currently based at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society\, LMU Munich\, where he leads the 5-year project Environing Infrastructure (www.environing.asia) funded by a “freigeist” fellowship from the Volkswagen Foundation. Alessandro is currently on leave from his position as Associate Professor of Chinese Studies at Tallinn University.\n\nhttps://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/j/96044733388?pwd=YU1HbkVnam5CbmZGdXNzeHlWOVJMdz09\nMeeting ID 960 4473 3388\nPasscode 948177

SUMMARY:Online-Lecture: Prof. Cao Yin (Tsinghua University): "India-China Connections from Subaltern Perspectives"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe history of India-China connections has long been explored from elite perspectives (religious\, intellectual\, and political)\, while few have ever paid attention to how ordinary Indians and Chinese interacted and how their lives were connected. This talk will focus on cases in the first half of the twentieth century\, including the experiences of Sikh policemen in Shanghai during the Interwar Period and Chinese deserter in India during the Second World War. Through telling their stories\, the talk will try to demonstrate how the desires\, ambitions\, and activities of ordinary Indians and Chinese have shaped the two countries relations until the present day. \nBio: \nCao Yin is Associate Professor and Cyrus Tang Scholar in the Department of History\, Tsinghua University. He works on modern Indian history\, global history\, and India-China connections. He is the author of From Policemen to Revolutionaries: A Sikh Diaspora in Global Shanghai\, 1885-1945 (Leiden: Brill\, 2017) and Chinese Sojourners in Wartime Raj\, 1941-45 (Oxford: Oxford University Press\, upcoming).

SUMMARY:Lecture: Peter Zarrow (Department of History\, University of Connecticut\, Hartford\, USA): The Utopian Impulse and Chinese Political Modernity
DESCRIPTION:Please register in advance: https://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAtceqorT0tH9SiRAQ_2nag0kPuXKM57ZiC \nThis paper discusses the role played by utopian “moves” that were made by political thinkers in the late Qing and Republican periods to build a new more or less democratic and socialist nation. An analysis of four case studies—Kang Youwei\, Cai Yuanpei\, Chen Duxiu\, and Hu Shi—reveals distinct but overlapping visions of political modernity. On one level\, these were blurry visions of political modernity directly and indirectly derived from Western discourses\, particularly those of the Enlightenment. But on another level\, Chinese thinkers can be read as making dialogic contributions to evolving notions of political modernity in cosmopolitan spaces across the twentieth century and beyond. \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.
