Lecture: Prof. Li Xuetao (Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU)): „Examples of research methods in the history of German Sinology / 德国汉学史研究方法举隅.“
Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum, KWZ 0.608The lecture will be in Chinese. Prof. Li is an expert among other topics on the history of Western China Studies and will address recent central questions of the development of China Studies in the West applying a global history perspective. Abstract: 德国汉学从一开始就不局限于某一领域,今天对它的历史梳理,也必然是在历史学、语文学、人类学、自然科学等其他学科的理论和方法的参与下进行,这同时也体现了德国汉学史研究的活力和多样性。李雪涛教授以德国汉学史为例,指出近年来汉学史研究的范式,已经从之前的“内部论”(internalist)或“谱系式”(genealogical)的历史思考方式,转变为了将汉学研究的现象、事件与进程置于“全球脉络”中予以分析,从而形成了一种真正的跨文化全球史研究。
