SUMMARY:“Contemporary Theater Art” Seminar Series No. 10
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Performing the Socialist State\nSpeaker: Prof. Xiaomei Chen\nTime: May 4\, Wednesday\, Europe 4:00 PM\, California 7:00 AM\, Beijing10:00 PM\nZoom Meeting:   https://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/j/95966904122\nMeeting ID: 959 6690 4122\nLanguage: English \nOrganizer: \nThe Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Göttingen\nThe Department of Theater\, Film and TV Arts at Nanjing University \nPartner: \nThe Center for Modern East Asian Studies at the University of Göttingen\nThe Academic Confucius Institute at the University of Göttingen\nThe Journal of Ying Ming Theater\nThe Chinese Students and Scholars Association in Göttingen \nContent\nThe lecture offers a quick overview of Xiaomei Chen’s forthcoming book\, Performing the Socialist State: Moments\, Crisis and Success of Modern Chinese Theater (Columbia University Press\, 2022). It begins with the theatrical achievements of Tian Han\, Hong Shen\, and Ouyang Yuqian\, three founders of spoken drama\, and ask how their legacies in the Republican period played important roles in constructing socialist theater. She will demonstrate how these multi-faceted leaders provided the blueprints for the Maoist theater in the PRC\, contrary to the conventional claim that the PRC theater is a total break-away from the Republican period. To this end and in this context\, she will reflect on the continuities with the performing culture in the Republican period through examinations of “Rightist satirical comedies” in the 1950s\, women’s theater and film “red classic” in the 1960s\, scientists on stage in the Maoist and post-Maoist periods\, and soldiers in transformation from the Republican\, to the socialist\, and finally\, to the post-socialist stage. She will also explore the relationship between science and theater\, music and theater\, and artists and their collective identities as “new cultural workers.”   \nShort Bio\nXiaomei Chen is Distinguished Professor at the University of California at Davis where she teaches modern Chinese literature\, film\, and theater. She is the author of Occidentalism (1995)\, Acting the Right Part (2002)\, and Staging Chinese Revolution (2016). She is the editor of Reading the Right Text (2003) and Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Drama (2010) and co-editor\, with Claire Sponsler\, of East of West: Cross-Cultural Performances and the Staging of Difference (2000)”; with Julia Andrew\, of Visual Culture in Contemporary China (2001)\, with Steven Siouan Liu\, Hong Shen and the Modern Mediasphere in Republican-Era China (2016)\, and with Tarryn Chun and Siyuan Liu\, Rethinking Socialist Theater Reform (2021).

SUMMARY:Lecture Justin Ritzinger\, Associate Professor of Religious Studies (University of Miami): Push and Pull: Toward a Taylorian Theory of Alternative Modernities
DESCRIPTION:May 6\, 2022\, 4 PM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \nReligion occupies a vexed position in many visions of modernity. It stands as the embodiment of “tradition\,” of the nonmodern\, of the irrational. It is thus presumed to be condemned to a shrinking sphere of social and cultural life. This has typically been construed as a “challenge” to which religion must “adapt” lest it face extinction. This adaptation typically includes demythologization\, rationalization\, and social engagement. Such understandings of modernization\, which I term “push models\,” are useful but insufficient. They fail to account not only for religion’s continuing hold on the hearts of many but also the inspiration modernity gave to many modernizing figures. This talk will offer a counterbalancing “pull model\,” drawing upon the account of moral frameworks in Sources of the Self to develop a Taylorian theory of the formulation of alternative modernities. Illustrated with reference to developments in religion in Republican China\, this theory may offer new angles for understanding this process in other areas of cultures as well. \nJustin Ritzinger is associate professor of Religious Studies at the University of Miami. He received his PhD in the Study of Religion from Harvard in 2010. His work focuses on modern and contemporary Chinese Buddhism. He is the author of a monograph on the reinvention of the cult of Maitreya\, entitled Anarchy in the Pure Land\, and articles dealing with eschatology\, engagements with evolutionary theory\, and international monastic exchange\, as well as tourist development in the contemporary People’s Republic. He is currently working on an ethnographic study of a blue-collar lay Buddhist group in Taiwan. At the University of Miami\, Ritzinger teaches courses in Asian religions. \n. \n.\nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.

SUMMARY:Lecture Viren Murthy\, Associate Professor of History (University of Wisconsin-Madison): Conservative Radicalism: Watsuji Tetsuro’s Critique of Civil Society and Its Implications for Chinese Intellectual History
DESCRIPTION:May 20\, 2022\, 12:00 PM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Campus: KWZ 0.610 (University of Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen)\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link. \nSince the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, as the Meiji state quickly modernized\, Japanese intellectuals confronted the atomization and alienation associated with new forms of labor in civil society. Unlike in the family\, where affective bonds govern human action\, in civil society\, people ventured into the world as purposive individuals entering into wage-contracts\, which forced them into a means-end relationship. While scholars have dealt with attempts to overcome modernity twentieth century Japan\, few have focused on the how the ideal of the family served as a trope to reconcile the antagonism between the individual and the community. The Japanese philosopher\, Watsuji Tetsuro (1889-1960) critically drew on Hegel’s conception of the family to attack civil society. While his critique is clearly conservative\, I argue that his position overlaps with leftist treatments of modern alienation and reveals the contradictions between spheres of the family and civil society. Watsuji develops his position in an essay written in the 1930s on the city\, where he translates the civil society (bürgerliche Gesellschaft) as “interest society (rieki shakai)”\, a sphere where people pursue personal gain. In response to this\, he advocates rekindling to older forms of society\, where work and family are not so clearly severed. Towards the end of my presentation\, I examine the implications of Watsuji’s critique of urban life for the study of Chinese intellectual history. Specifically\, in both contexts\, my study suggests that we at times blur the lines between radical and conservative because they often have a similar object of critique\, namely capitalism\, which they each grasp with varying degrees of success. \nViren Murthy teaches transnational Asian History and researches Chinese and Japanese intellectual history in the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Understanding the Alienated Self: The Interest in and Problematization of the Village in the Post May-Fourth Period 认识被化外的自我：后五四时期对乡村的关注和农村的问题化 Luo Zhitian 罗志田 (Distinguished Professor)\, History Department\, Sichuan University
DESCRIPTION:May 27\, 2022\, 10:00 AM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna\nOn Zoom: For registration\, please use this zoom link.\nThe lecture will be held in Chinese.  \n乡村曾被视为中国社会与文化的基础，在近代改称“农村”后，逐渐被认为出了问题。农村怎样成为“问题”及其所成的“问题”本身，既伴随着中国现代性展开的进程，也因其间的“现代”眼光所生成。这背后的一个要因，是城市的兴起和城乡的对立。由于城市被视为国家的主体，原来作为广土众民代表的乡村逐渐沦为化外，不复能表述自己。在五四后出现一种读书人想要了解自己国家的倾向，先是开始关注已近于未知的农村，观感褒贬参半；接着是被关注者逐渐问题化，见解贬多于褒；最后是问题化的农村升级为“破产”或“崩溃”，表述以贬为主。其间一个重要特点，是一些人因缺乏了解而把常态看成变态，甚至把国家整体的危难移植到农村身上。 \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
