SUMMARY:Vortrag: Dr. phil. Volker Klöpsch "Jadeschleifer\, Verseschmied  Das Handwerk der Dichtung im Lichte der chinesischen Literaturkritik"
DESCRIPTION:Dichtung ist ein universales Phänomen. Doch entsteht sie überall unter ähnlichen Voraussetzungen? Ein genauerer Blick zeigt\, dass Dichten viel­fach als ein gewöhnliches Handwerk verstanden wird. Darauf verweisen Begriffe wie Verse­schmied oder Jadeschleifer\, Vers oder Text. Der Vortrag untersucht an einer Reihe von Bei­spie­len\, wie im Alten China ein Gedicht entstand\, welche Funktion sein Verfasser in Ge­sell­schaft und Politik einnahm und wie seine Verse bewertet wurden. Aus der Betonung hand­werklichen Könnens ergibt sich auch die Frage nach der Erlernbarkeit des Dichtens. \n        Zeigen wird sich\, dass die chinesische Poetik des Altertums Gemein­samkeiten mit Vorstellungen des europäischen Mittelalters auf­weist\, aber möglicherweise Leser enttäuscht\, die an Goethe und Hölderlin geschult sind. \nVolker Klöpsch (geb. 1948) studierte Germanistik\, Anglistik\, Verglei­chende Lite­raturwissenschaft und Sinologie auf verschiedenen Kontinenten. Er lehrte in Taipeh\, Bochum und Köln\, legte zahlreiche Übersetzungen von Lyrik und Prosa aus verschiedenen Epochen der chinesischen Literatur vor\, gab mit Eva Müller das Lexikon der chinesischen Literatur (München 2004) heraus und ist Begrün­der und langjähriger Mitherausgeber der Hefte für ostasiatische Literatur.

SUMMARY:Prof. Ho Wai Yip\, Exeter University:  Two Tales of the City: Conflicting Narratives on Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:4. May\, 18:15 – 19:45\nVG 2.103 \nAbstract:\nAs always\, there are conflicting narratives on Hong Kong’s history from the British colonial period to the present comprehensive rule of the People’s Republic of China. In the early transition from British to Chinese rule in early 2000s\, there were two contradictory views in explaining the economic success of the colonial Hong Kong\, namely the nationalistic narrative – ‘Hong Kong has been part of Chinese territory since ancient times’ and the colonial narrative – ‘Hong Kong as a barren-rock-turned capitalist-paradise by benevolent rule’. In the present day of China’s Hong Kong\, the debate continues with two opposing narratives. It involves the official campaign of telling the world the ‘good story’ of Hong Kong following ‘the new stage of transition from chaos to order’\, which is to combat the ‘bad story’ of distorted anti-China prejudice. According to renowned literary educators\, ‘telling the story of Hong Kong is so difficult’ (Leung Ping-kwan’s words) and ‘the personality and life of Hong Kong are blurred and obscured’ (Lo Wai-luen’s words)\, this presentation inquires the ambiguities of Hong Kong stories and the society has been navigating under superpowers in history. \nSpeaker:\nWai-Yip Ho is currently the Honorary Research Fellow\, Institute of Arab & Islamic Studies\, University of Exeter; Correspondent Member\, Nantes Institute for Advanced Studies. He is the author of Islam and China’s Hong Kong: Ethnic Identity\, Muslim Networks and the new Silk Road (Routledge: London\, 2015\, paperback). He held several research fellowship and research appointments\, including the François Chevalier Fellow (2021-2022)\, Madrid Institute for Advanced Study (MIAS); Sir Edward Youde Fellow; Visiting Scholar at Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies at Oxford as well as Endeavour Research Fellow at Australian National University etc. His research interests include Islamic Studies\, China’s Christian-Muslim relations\, New Media and China’s Islam\, etc.  \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Prof. Selcuk Esenbel (Bogazici Univ. Istanbul):  Legal Transformation\, Contemporary Civilization\, and Sovereignty: Global Perspectives on the Quest for Modernity in Japan\, China\, and Turkey
DESCRIPTION:9. May (Tuesday)\, 16:15 – 17:45\nVG 0.110 \nAbstract: \nThe paper discusses some key experiences of Japan\, Turkey\, and China during the nineteenth century\, but primarily focuses on a comparative discussion of Japan and Turkey for the twentieth century and possibly the early years of the new millennium. It will offer reflections particularly on the conjuncture that was related to the adoption of European codes and constitutionalism\, coupled with the larger aim of catching up with contemporary civilization and regaining sovereignty. Despite the fact that the perception of the West throughout this long history kept shifting between a friend or foe\, the West has remained to be the “Un-forgettable Other.”   \nSpeaker:\nDr. Selçuk Esenbel is Professor em. of History at Boğaziçi University\, and the Director of the Asian Studies Center at the same institution. After studying at International Christian University Tokyo and George Washington University\, she obtained her Ph.D. in Japanese history from the Columbia University. Since 1982\, she has been teaching Japanese and Asian history at Boğaziçi University\, where she is also in charge of the Asian Studies Center\, Asian studies graduate program and Asian language courses. Esenbel has published many articles in various professional journals as well as a number of books on history of Asia with particular focus on Japanese history. Her research interests cover Japan and the world of Islam\, Japanese pan-Asianism\, modernization in Japan and Ottoman Turkey\, peasant uprisings in Meiji Japan\, and Japanese-Ottoman/Turkish relations. Esenbel is the recipient of various awards\, like the Order of the Rising Sun\, Japan Foundation Special Prize for Japanese Studies\, Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs special award for the promotion of Japanese-Turkish academic relations\, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation George Forster research award. \nOrganizer:\nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Dr. Hu Nan\, Fudan University: Towards an Anticolonial Asian Cinema: the 1957 Asian Film Week and China’s Imagination of Asia
DESCRIPTION:11. May\, 18:15 – 19:45\nVG 2.103 \nAbstract:\nThis talk traces the forgotten history of the Asian Film Week held by and in China in 1957. It engages with two recent discussions of cultural politics in the Cold War era. First\, there is a growing interest in Sino-Asian cultural relations in the 1950s and 1960s\, but scholars have not focused attention on film festivals\, which was a very important element of cultural diplomacy during the Cold War. Second\, studies on film festivals among Asian countries in this period highlight events sponsored by either the U. S. or the Soviet Union\, leaving the efforts and experiments of cinematic practices beyond the superpowers understudied. Drawing on a variety of sources including contemporary newspapers\, magazines\, festival brochures\, local film gazetteers\, government documents\, and the films shown at the 1957 Asian Film Week\, this talk demonstrates that film festival was a crucial part of China’s inter-Asian cultural diplomacy in the Bandung age and that the postcolonial Asian countries played an active role in defining “Asian cinema” and “Asianness” alternative to the superpowers’ imagination. Not only did the Film Week build an inter-Asian cinematic network beyond the Cold War divide to improve China’s diplomatic relations with many Asian countries\, but it also sought to unite Asian filmmakers with anticolonial aesthetics and agenda\, which challenged the cinema-as-entertainment model previously entrenched in other inter-Asian cinematic networks. This talk will also discuss the enduring influence of the Asian Film Week as an important event in the history of world cinema\, including its connections with the Afro-Asian Film Festival (1958-1964) and the Third Cinema movement. \nBio:\nNan Hu is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Fudan University\, Shanghai. She earned her Ph. D. in Chinese and Comparative Literature in 2021 at Washington University in St. Louis\, where she completed a dissertation entitled “In Other Voices: Dubbing Foreign Films in Maoist China (1949-1976).” Her current research projects explore the idea of inter-Asian solidarity among Chinese intellectuals around the 1960s\, and the ways zoos have reconfigured the human-animal relationship vis-à-vis the Chinese projects of nation-building\, modernity\, and revolution. Her studies have been funded by the McDonnell International Scholars Academy\, the Center for the Humanities at Washington University\, Ministry of Education (Taiwan)\, and China Postdoctoral International Exchange Program\, among others. \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Lecture: Prof. Malachi Hacohen (Duke University): Antisemitism(s) –  Local to Global
DESCRIPTION:25. May\, 18:15 – 19:45\nVG 2.103 \nAbstract:\nIn the aftermath of the Holocaust\, Antisemitism occupies a unique place among minority hatreds\, weighing on historians’ conscience and challenging historical faculties. The variety\, local contexts\, and divergent character of antisemitism present a major challenge for historical explanation  Yet\, as globalization progresses\, there is a convergence toward a global antisemitic discourse\, crossing continents from Europe to Asia to the Americas. The lecture will seek to demystify antisemitism by projecting it against the growth of an ever changing Jewish Diaspora and provide a framework for understanding its transformation from local and diverse antisemitism to a more uniform global discourse. \nSpeaker: \nMalachi Haim Hacohen is Professor of History\, Jewish Studies and Religion at Duke University\, and Director of the Religions and Public Life Program. His research interests focus on Central Europe and include social theory\, political philosophy\, and rabbinic culture. His Karl Popper – The Formative Years\, 1902-1945: Politics and Philosophy in Interwar Vienna (Cambridge\, 2000) won the Herbert Baxter Adams Prize of the AHA and Austria’s Victor Adler State Prize. His Jacob & Esau: Jewish European History Between Nation and Empire (Cambridge\, 2019) won the Center for Austrian Studies’ Biannual Book Prize. He has published on the European Jewish intelligentsia\, Cold War liberalism\, and cosmopolitanism and Jewish identity in leading professional journals. He was a fellow at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies\, the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences\, the National Humanities Center\, and the IFK in Vienna. He is presently Leibniz Professor in Leipzig for Summer 2023.  \nOrganizer:\nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen
