SUMMARY:Lecture: Dr. Vera Dorofeeva-Lichtmann (CNRS-EHESS Paris): Hybrid Maps: Reformatting the Chinese Imperial Realm According to 19th-Century Western Cartography
DESCRIPTION:1. June\, 18:15 – 19:45\nVG 2.103 \nAbstract: \nThe definition of “The Great Qing Everlasting Unified” was frequently used in titles of general maps of the imperial realm in the beginning of the 19th century. It formally distinguishes one of the most widely known and impressive group of Chinese maps\, the so-called Blue Maps and their multi-coloured congeners. This series of large format wall maps is representative of the late imperial phase of the development of the traditional Chinese cartography. Göttingen State and University Library  possesses a unique surviving copy of a hand-coloured map of this kund. The map is signed by Li Mingche (1751-1832)\, a Taoist master and a recognised Chinese astronomer and cartographer\, who was propagating Western science in China. The proposed presentation analyzes how Li Mingche tried to reformat traditional Chinese representation of the realm of the Qing empire according to the standards of modern Western cartography and evaluate the outcome of this attempt from the point of view of Chinese and the Western cartographic traditions. \nSpeaker:\nDr. Vera Dorofeeva-Lichtmann studies historical Chinese conceptions of terrestrial space and their continuous influence on Chinese cartography. Since 2000 she is a Chargé de Recherche at the CNRS (France)\, and in 2017-2023 was recurrently a Visiting Scholar of the Max-Planck-Institute for the History of Science\, Berlin (Germany). Her latest publications cover a large scope of text-map relationships\, including translation of text into maps. \nOrganizer:\nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Andrew Cainey (UK National Committee on China):  Xiconomics\, Dual Circulation Strategy and Western Business
DESCRIPTION:5. June\, 17:15 – 18:45\nZHG 003 \nAbstract: \nIn Xi Jinping’s China\, national security\, ideology and the political priorities of the Communist Party now play a much larger role in shaping China’s economic and business environment. The context is more politicized\, more uncertain. China’s state media call this ‘Xiconomics’. Xi’s Dual Circulation Strategy marks out clear dividing lines between China’s domestic economy and the rest of the world. It sets out how China seeks to manage the interactions between the two. And it does so just as Western countries focus too on decoupling\, ‘friendshoring’ and technology competition. In order to succeed\, Western business needs to understand these new dynamics. Simply declaring them ‘too political’ no longer works.  As a result\, companies are reconsidering and revising their China strategy – driven by changes both in China and at home.  How far can ‘ambidexterity’ in operations go? What are companies doing to maintain connectivity and build resilience and agility?  And what comes next from geopolitics – is this all just getting started? \nSpeaker:\nHaving first visited China in 1981\, Andrew Cainey has lived and worked for most of the past twenty-five years in China\, Korea and Singapore advising businesses and governments. He now lives in London and works on the impact of geopolitics on business\, with a particular focus on China and is the co-author of Xiconomics: What China’s Dual Circulation Strategy Means for Global Business. \nMr Cainey is a senior associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute\, the world’s oldest security and defense think tank\, and a founding director of the UK National Committee on China. He was previously China managing partner for Booz & Company; the head of the Rt Hon Tony Blair’s Asian government advisory practice; the head of Boston Consulting Group’s Asian financial institutions practice; and a project leader in BCG Germany.  Andrew has also had roles with Chatham House and think tanks in Hong Kong and Shanghai. He has a First Class MA (Hons) in Economics from the University of Cambridge and an MBA with Distinction from Harvard Business School; he speaks Chinese and German. \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Prof. Edward Qingjia Wang (Rowan University): Changing Perceptions of World Order in Chinese Historiography: Three Phases of Development
DESCRIPTION:8. June (Thursday)\, 18:15 – 19:45\nVG 2.103 \nAbstract: \n“Changing Perceptions of World Order in Chinese Historiography: Three Phases of Development”: This talk takes a longue-durée perspective to examine and analyze the modern Chinese conception of the world from the middle of the 19th century to the present. This perception has changed significantly over the course of this period\, which is reflected in the ups and downs of world/global history as a subfield of history. Foreign histories are commonly referred to as “world history” in the Chinese historical community; the term’s invention in the 19th century was a sign of a shifting worldview. The term “world history” has been increasingly been replaced by the term “global history” starting from the late 1990s\, which suggests yet another significant shift in how the Chinese leadership and historians view the world. \nSpeaker: \nQ. Edward Wang\, a specialist in Chinese history and global historiography\, received his education partly in China and partly in the US. He is now Eminent Professor of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Rowan University\, Glassboro\, New Jersey. He is also editor of Chinese Studies in History\, a journal that promotes academic exchanges between historical communities in greater China and the rest of the world. Wang’s main publications include Historiography: Critical Readings (2021 in 4 volumes); A Global History of Modern Historiography (2008 and 2017); Chopsticks: A Cultural and Culinary History (2015)\, and Inventing China through History: The May Fourth Approach to Historiography (2001). Some of the above titles have appeared in Chinese\, Korean\, German\, Greek\, Japanese\, and Russian.  \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Vortrag: Prof. Dr. Hans Peter Hoffmann (Universität Mainz): Vom Dichter zum Zeugen -  Der Schriftsteller und Dissident Liao Yiwu
DESCRIPTION:Mittwoch\, den 21. Juni 2023\, 18 h c.t.\nKWZ 0.602 \nAbstract:\nDer Nachwuchslyriker Liao Yiwu kam nach dem 4. Juni 1989 wegen zweier Gedichte für vier Jahre ins Gefängnis\, wo er sich vom Dichter zum (Zeit)Zeugen wandelte. Danach beruflich in Schwierigkeiten\, begann er\, in hunderten von Interviews den Außenseitern der VR-chinesischen Gesellschaft\, unter ihnen die vergessenen Opfer früherer Kampagnen sowie der Öffnungspolitik\, eine Stimme zu geben und ein Bild der Gesellschaft von unten zu zeichnen. Gleichzeitig hielt er in autobiographischen Werken seine Erfahrungen in und nach der Haft und bei seinen mehrfachen Fluchtversuchen fest. Zuletzt legte er mit Wuhan einen Dokumentarroman über die Corona-Pandemie in China vor. Bei all dem hat Liao Yiwu doch nie aufgehört\, ein Dichter zu sein. So stellt dieser Vortrag auch die Frage nach der Beziehung von Dichtertum und Zeugenschaft. \nShort bio:\nProf. Dr. Hans Peter Hoffmann ist einer der profiliertesten literarischen Übersetzer aus dem Chinesischen in Deutschland. Er leitet zurzeit den Arbeitsbereich Chinesisch am Fachbereich Translations-\, Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaft der Universität Mainz in Germersheim. Dort lehrt und forscht er zur chinesischen Literatur und Kultur und unterrichtet literarisches Übersetzen. Hier wie in seiner weiter geführten übersetzerischen Tätigkeit beschäftigt er sich mit Texten verschiedener Genres\, Autor:innen unterschiedlichster Hintergründe und mitunter weit auseinander liegenden Thematiken.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Prof. He Weihua (Central China Normal University): The Wandering Earth and China’s Construction of an Alternative Cosmopolitanism
DESCRIPTION:22. June (Thursday)\, 18:15 – 19:45\nVG 2.103 \nAbstract:\nAs an epoch-making event in the history of the Chinese sci-fi film industry\, The Wandering Earth boasts the extraordinary acting skills of cinema superstars and fabulous special effects. Instead of providing a description of the technical issues surrounding the film’s production\, this paper looks at the film as a cultural expression and dramatization of China’s reconceptualization of the notion of cosmopolitanism. After scrutinizing tianxia\, which is generally taken to refer to classical Chinese cosmopolitanism\, this paper goes on to describe its experiential dimension\, its techno-socio-economic foundation\, and its cosmopolitan solidarity as shown in the film. Finally\, after analyzing the ethical dimension of the cosmopolitan community\, which is embodied in the idea of “home” in the film\, the paper concludes by proposing a cosmopolitanism of ethicality. \n\nSpeaker:\nWeihua He is currently Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Central China Normal University. He is also the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Foreign Language and Literature Research and the Secretary General of the International Ethnic Literature Commission of (China) Association for Comparative Studies of Languages and Cultures. His research interests include comparative literature\, literary theory\, and the modern transformation of China. He has published extensively in journals such as European Review\, Journal of Modern Literature\, Comparative Literature Studies\, Neohelicon and Interdisciplinary Studies of Literature. \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen
