SUMMARY:Sonderführung durch den Alten Botanischen Garten der Universität Göttingen: China – Pflanzen aus dem Reich der Mitte
DESCRIPTION:Als im Jahr 1737 der Botanische Garten der Universität Göttingen angelegt wurde\, war China noch „unerreichbar“ weit weg\, und die meisten Europäer hatten von Natur und Kultur Chinas nur vage und abenteuerliche Vorstellungen. In der Folge fanden durch Naturforscher\, Abenteurer\, Gärtner\, Missionare und Handelsreisende mehr und mehr Pflanzenarten aus dem Reich der Mitte in unsere Gärten. Unser Gartenrundgang stellt bekannte und außergewöhnliche pflanzliche Gäste und Botschafter aus diesem großen und vielfältigen Land vor. \nDie Führungen werden von Dr. Michael Schwerdtfeger im Rahmen der Vortragsreihe China’s Green Transformation im Sommersemester 2019 angeboten. \nDie Führungen sind kostenfrei und eine Anmeldung ist nicht nötig. \n  \nImage source: michael_china China_2014_Beijing_YuanMingYuan_Lotus_140712_7455 + (Copy) https://flic.kr/p/o32zQo\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0

SUMMARY:Prof. Sheldon Garon (Department of History\, Princeton University)\, "On the Transnational Destruction of Cities: What Japan and the U.S. learned from the Bombing of Britain\, Germany\, and China"
DESCRIPTION:How did it become “normal” to bomb cities and civilians?  Focusing on the aerial bombardment of China\, Britain\, Germany\, and Japan in 1937-45\, Garon spotlights the role of transnational learning in the construction of the “home front” among all the belligerents.  World War II was a global experience\, yet histories of the home front remain confined to individual nations.  In reality\, not only did the warring states study each other’s strategies to destroy the enemy’s home front and “civilian morale\,” they also investigated others’ efforts to defend one’s own home front by means of “civilian defense.”  In this transnational world of knowledge-gathering\, Japan emerged as a central player.  But it was Japan’s fate to suffer the war’s most lethal firebombing\, based on what the Allies had learned from bombing European cities. \nSHELDON GARON is Nissan Professor of History and East Asian Studies at Princeton University.  A specialist in modern Japanese history\, he also writes transnational history that charts the flow of ideas and institutions between Asia\, Europe\, and the United States—notably Beyond Our Means: Why America Spends While the World Saves (2012) and “Transnational History and Japan’s ‘Comparative Advantage\,’” Journal of Japanese Studies (Winter 2017).  His current project is a transnational history of “home fronts” in Japan\, Germany\, and Britain in World War II\, focusing on aerial bombardment\, food insecurity\, and civilian “morale.”  Previous publications include Molding Japanese Minds: The State in Everyday Life (1997) and The State and Labor in Modern Japan (1987)\, and he coedited The Ambivalent Consumer: Questioning Consumption in East Asia and the West (2006).

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: China’s Green Transformation: Prof. Dr. Martin Welp (Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development) "Greening for urban wellbeing: A Sustainability Assessment of the Kökyar Protection Forest in NW China"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nChina has made remarkable achievements in increasing forest and vegetation cover in large parts of the country. The Three-North Shelter Forest Program (also known as the great green wall) is one the famous national initiatives to hold back desertification. On the local level\, the city of Aksu\, located at the fringe of the Taklimakan desert in NW China\, started already in the 1980s preparing and planting the so called Kökyar protection forest. It is an ecological engineering project with the intent of protecting the city from frequent dust and sand storms. The forest is well-known in China\, has been awarded by the UN and is highlighted as an achievement of the so called “Kökyar-spirit”. We examined the shelterbelt from a broader perspective\, embedding Kökyar to the wider context of social and environmental problems in South Xinjiang. Results affirm the economic sustainability of the shelterbelt\, but see a mixed record for the social sphere as well as negative trade-offs when looking at the ecological dimensions — especially due high water consumption of the protection forest (a combination of poplar shelterbelts and orchards) and its impacts down-stream. There is a trade-off between artificial shelterbelt plantations for urban ecosystem services on the one hand side\, and natural riparian forests and their biodiversity on the other hand side. In such agroforestry schemes systemic interactions need to be considered and locally adapted species favored. \nShort CV \nMartin Welp holds a professorship in Socioeconomics and Communication at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (Faculty of Forest and Environment). He is head of the International Master Study Programme Global Change Management (M.Sc.). He earned his Doctoral degree at the Technische Universität Berlin in Germany and his Master’s degree in Forestry at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Before his current position he worked as senior researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK)\, Department Global Change and Social Systems. He is engaged in stakeholder dialogues in science-policy-platforms as well as in management\, researching positions and agreements among actors\, dialogue methods and the theoretical framing of such dialogues. Research projects have focused on global (environmental) change with special attention to socio-economic dimensions and human well-being. Past projects include among others SuMaRiO – Sustainable Management of River Oases along the Tarim River / China funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

SUMMARY:Prof. Olivier Remaud (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales\, Paris\, France) and Prof. Chunjie Zhang (University of California\, Davis\, USA)\, "Normative and Reflexive Ethics: Perspectives from China and the West\, 1900-1950"
DESCRIPTION:In this joint event\, Olivier Remaud and Chunjie Zhang will explore the possibility of using normativity and reflexivity as ethics in relation to environmental and cultural cosmopolitanisms in the first half of the twentieth century. \nRemaud will first lecture on “The World as Earth. Environmental Reflexivity and the Philological Mind.” From oceans filled with plastics to rainforest burnings\, the impact of human actions on the earth and the atmosphere has reached a global level. All species from mammals to birds are concerned with what is today called the “sixth great extinction”. In this lecture\, he will take a deep time perspective and draw on how to get an awareness of what is happening to the planet. \nDuring periods of world crisis\, both environmentalists and philologists try to preserve diversity. Methodologically they share a crucial postulate: the world is reflected in details we can “read”. To illustrate this\, Remaud will discuss first the thinking of the American environmentalist Aldo Leopold (1887-1948)\, then that of the German philologist Erich Auerbach (1892-1957). \nThe main thesis of the lecture will be that the philological mind presents a model of the reflexive attitude needed by anyone wishing to decipher crisis contexts and take into account all living beings that inhabit the earth. Beyond the “nature-culture divide”\, the point is to know how to keep eyes wide open and act accordingly\, i.e. how to be a world citizen. \nEchoing Remaud’s lecture on the relation between reflexive mind and the environment\, Chunjie Zhang will discuss “Reflexivity as Ethics: Liang Shuming’s Neo-Confucian Vision of the World.” Liang Shuming (1893-1988\, 梁漱溟)\, a Chinese philosopher and a contemporary of Aldo Leopold and Erich Auerbach\, is deeply concerned with the relationship between humans\, cultures and the natural and material world. Liang’s thinking interestingly corresponds with that of Leopold and Auerbach with respect to the importance of a reflexive mind. Liang contends that a reformed Confucianism\, integrated with Western tradition\, offers a profound philosophical reflexivity for the world humanity and its future. It would be a fruitful dialogue to compare Liang to Leopold and Auerbach\, including all differences\, to explore a less studied aspect in global intellectual history. \nAfter the downfall of the imperial dynasty in 1911\, China experienced a political as well as an ideological and cultural crisis in the first half of the twentieth century. While one group of Chinese intellectuals was in favor of Western culture and considers traditional Chinese culture backward and useless vis-à-vis the pressure of modernization and imperialism\, another group still insists on the values of classical Eastern thinking of Confucianism\, Daoism\, and Buddhism. The latter proposes that a careful integration of the Greco-Roman tradition and the Eastern traditions could yield successful ways of thinking not only for China but also for the entire world. In his famous book The Cultures of the East and West and their Philosophies (Dong Xi Fang Wen Hua Ji Qi Zhe Xue\, 1921)\, Liang argues that the essence of culture and its philosophy is interconnection. Hence we should not single out a culture or one school of thought; rather it is important to reflect on the connections across the watershed of the East and West in a time of crisis and become a responsible world citizen. In his late essay Outline of Eastern Thinking (Dong Fang Xue Shu Gai Guan\, 1960/1975)\, Liang argues that the ability to reflect on one’s own behavior and words individually and collectively\, as Confucianism and Buddhism explicate\, is the foundation for world peace and cosmopolitanism. Late Liang has become more inclined toward Buddhism as the best solution for freedom and dialectics in practice. \nOlivier Remaud is professor of philosophy at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) of Paris\, chair in History and Theory of Cosmopolitanisms. Among his publications: Michelet. La Magistrature de l’histoire (Michalon\, 1998 – second edition 2010); Les Archives de l’humanité. Essai sur la philosophie de Vico (Seuil\, 2004); Faire des sciences sociales (co-eds\, EHESS Press\, 2012\, 3 vols.); Un monde étrange. Pour une autre approche du cosmopolitisme (Presses Universitaires de France\, 2015); Solitude volontaire (Albin Michel\, 2017 – second edition 2019); Errances. Vie de Bering (Paulsen\, 2019\, forthcoming). He is currently working on two books\, one dealing with a reflection on “Wildness and the melting ice on Earth” (to be published by Actes Sud)\, the other about “Worlding the visible and the invisible”. \nChunjie Zhang received her Ph.D. from Duke University and is currently an associate professor of German at the University of California\, Davis. Her book Transculturality and German Discourse in the Age of European Enlightenment (Northwestern University Press 2017) endeavors to compose an alternative narrative to national and Eurocentric literary and cultural history in the long eighteenth century and emphasizes the impact of non-European cultures on German travel writing\, popular literature\, and philosophy. She co-edited a special issue of “Seminar: a Journal for Germanic Studies” on „Goethe\, Worlds\, and Literatures” in 2018. She is also the editor of the book “Composing Modernist Connections in China and Europe\,” published with Routledge in 2019. Currently\, hosted by Dominic Sachsenmaier at Universität Göttingen\, she is working on a book project “World as Method: Cosmopolitan Thinking in German and Chinese Modernist Cultures.”

SUMMARY:Prof. Shaoxin DONG (Fudan University\, Shanghai\, PR China)\, "The Introduction of the Term "ASIA" into China and Chinese responses"
DESCRIPTION:The three-continent system\, including Europe\, Asia and Africa\, was invented by the ancient Greeks. In the Middle Ages\, this system was explained in the Catholic theological context\, which puts Jerusalem at the centre of T and O world map\, and shows the continents as domains of the sons of Noah: Sem\, Iafeth and Cham. In the Great Navigation period\, European navigators found new routes to India and Far East\, and “discovered” the new world\, at the same time\, the European conception that Asia was an independent and different continent was consolidated. But\, as Herodotus comments\, why three names were given to a tract which is in reality one? The answer could be that Europe needs an “other” for self-identification. \nChinese people had not known that their country was part of a big continent named Asia until Italian Jesuit Father Matteo Ricci drew his first world map (Shanhai yudi tu 《山海輿地圖》) in Zhaoqing in 1584. Through Matteo Ricci\, Giulio Aleni\, Francisco Furtado\, Ferdinand Verbiest and other European Catholic missionaries\, western geographical knowledge\, including the conception of Asia\, was introduced into China during late Ming and early Qing. \nWestern geography deeply changed Chinese traditional idea of Tianxia 天下\, but the European conception of Asia hadn’t impacted Chinese thoughts strongly until in late Qing period\, when Xu Jishe 徐继畲\, Wei Yuan魏源\, He Qiutao何秋涛 and other scholars accepted this conception in their famous books. At that time\, facing to the big powers from west\, China needed to rethink their idea of central empire\, and construct an identity of their territory and neighbors. The conception of Asia was useful to do this\, and Europe\, accordingly\, was looked as their “other”. \nIn the landmass so-called Asia\, there were multi-cultures\, different religions\, and diverse identifications. So this tract is in fact not suitable to be perceived as a unit in any sense. The conception of Asia\, from its beginning till now\, is a result of construction and convention. In our times of globalization\, do we still need this conception of Asia? \nShaoxin DONG is Professor of history at Fudan University\, Honorable Professor of Exeter University (UK)\, and Fulbright Visiting Scholar at University of San Francisco (2015-2016). His research area include: History of Sino-European Cultural Relations in Early Modern Period\, History of Chinese Christianity\, History of Maritime East Asian\, and History of Ming and Qing. In the past 15 years\, he has published several books and more than 50 articles\, such as Between Body and Soul: Western Medicine in China during 16-18 centuries (Shanghai\, 2008)\, Antonio de Gouvea (1592-1677)\, A Portuguese Jesuit in China (Beijing\, 2017). He has completed several research projects\, and is now undertaking a new research program entitled “Ming-Qing Wars in European Sources” (National Social Science Fund\, 2017-2021).
