SUMMARY:Lecture: Ong Chang Woei on "Building a New Chinese State from the Northwest: The Proposal of Liu Guangfen (1843-1903)"
DESCRIPTION:On Zoom: For registration (required)\, please use this Zoom link. \nAbstract:\nAt the beginning of his book Origins of the Modern Chinese State\, Kuhn asks\, “What is Chinese about China’s modern state?” The answer\, Kuhn explains\, is not to be found by supposing that there are some distinctive cultural qualities that will ensure that “China will always be China.” Rather\, it is to be found by probing how the Chinese in the recent past dealt with what he calls “constitutional issues” that had already presented themselves before the West made its impact felt. Using Liu Guangfen 劉光蕡 (1843-1903) as a case study\, I would like to ask a follow-up question: “What is northwestern about China’s modern state?” My assumption is that whatever “Chinese” problems existed could be better understood if we take the regional perceptions of such problems into consideration. In this talk\, I will demonstrate that Liu Guangfen’s vision of building a modern Chinese state allows us to examine how the concern over nation-state building was shaped by regional experiences. I will also try to show that by studying a particular regional version of the “Chinese” nation-state\, we can learn something important about the dynamics that shape the quest for a strong nation-state in modern China in general. \nThis lecture series is jointly organized by\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\, Hamburg University \nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Lecture.: The Creativeness of Modern Chinese Conservative Thinkers 王汎森: 近代保守思想家的創造性 Wang Fansen Academia Sinica
DESCRIPTION:June 10\, 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近代中國保守思想家中至少可以區分成兩類，第一類是本能地反對任何改變現狀的思想，第二類是回到一個重要的思想基盤（如宋明理學、大乘佛學）上戰鬥。在這次演講中，我想討論第二類思想家，以宋育仁（1859-1931）、熊十力（1885-1968）、唐文治（1865-1954）、劉咸炘（1896-1932）、錢穆（1895-1990）等人為例，討論一個思想史上的問題：當晚清以來的新派一直在變的時候，反對或批評他們的人，其實也一直在變換他們的言論，同時也變換他們對傳統的解釋，以便對應挑戰。\n此外，我在比較仔細地審視他們的思路之後，認為他們不只是「回到本來」的樣子，而是有一個微妙的新創過程。譬如他們有時候會用「提高一格法」，把儒家思想，尤其是宋明理學，作一種新的調整、詮釋。借用卡夫卡的話：「當你凝視深淵時，深淵也在凝視你」。 \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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture: Prof Liu Kang (Duke University): Social Sciences\, Humanities and Liberal Arts: China and the West
DESCRIPTION:Location: KWZ 0.609 \nAbstract: \nThe talk traces the genealogy of modern European modes of knowledge under the rubrics of ‘liberal arts’\, as the origin and basis for modern China’s institutions and modes of knowledge\, and then examines China’s ‘liberal arts’ as institution and modes of knowledge from the early years of the twentieth century to the present. The paper’s objective is to question the relationship between (Eurocentric) universalism and Chinese exceptionalism within the dominant modern Western institutions and modes of knowledge today. \nSpeaker:\nLiu Kang is Professor of Chinese Studies\, and Director of Duke Program of Research on China at Duke University. Professor Liu is Elected Member of Academia Europaea (The Academy of Europe) since 2015. He is the author of twelve books\, and written widely in scholarly journals in both English and Chinese.

SUMMARY:Lecture: What is to be Done? Literature and History in China’s Revolutionary Twentieth-Century\, Rebecca Karl Professor of History\, New York University

Revolutionary time is a particular kind of time\, requiring different kinds of narrative. In an analytical pass through a century of narrativizations/re-narrativizations\, the talk will examine how successive revolutionaries and writers attempted to answer the constantly posed and re-posed radical question of “what is to be done” (shto delats? 怎么办?). \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
