SUMMARY:Lecture Series 2021/2022  New Perspectives on Modernity in China
DESCRIPTION:Modernity without Alienation: New Possibilities for 20th century Chinese Buddhism\nSpeaker: Eyal Aviv Assistant Professor of Religion\, Department of Religion\, George Washington University \nContent:  \nIntellectuals\, such as Nietzsche\, Weber\, and Adorno\, described modernity as a period of alienation resulting from the collapse of pre-modern social and political structures and the disintegration of shared values. Alienation leaves the individual disconnected from organic relational networks from which humans derive a sense of meaning. But is alienation an inevitable side effect of modernity? In this talk\, I will explore the examples of some leading Chinese Buddhist intellectuals in the modern period and argue that far from being alienated\, Chinese Buddhists seized the significant changes of the period as an opportunity to transform Buddhism and adapt it to the new era. While they were aware of China’s predicament after the collapse of the imperial world order and the spread of colonialism\, still\, they approached it in an engaged and constructive spirit. In the talk\, I will reflect on what prevents alienation from occurring and why not all modernisms were born alike. \n  \nOn Zoom: For registration\, \nhttps://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5ckceChqzIpHN2X_kq7E_mUOp_WS8_W_ogR

SUMMARY:Lecture Series 2021/2022  New Perspectives on Modernity in China
DESCRIPTION:From Mentorship to Comradeship: Irving Babbitt\, The Critical Review\, and Conservative Globalism in Republic China\nSpeaker: Kuo Ya-pei (Assistant Professor\, Center for International Relations Research\, University of Groningen) \nContent:  \nSince the late 19th century\, the “East vs West” dichotomy has been the predominant framework for understanding Chinese civilization and its place in the world. This talk focuses on The Critical Review (Xueheng 學衡)\, a “conservative” platform launched in 1922\, and its effort to overcome this dichotomy. As many modern scholars have pointed out\, those who were associated with the journal\, such as Wu Mi and Mei Guangdi\, held a globalist agenda with a conviction in cultural commonality across the East-West divide. This talk elucidates the particularist dimension of their globalist position. In spite of the apparent disparity between the East and the West\, these intellectuals believed that regional civilizations contain certain shared\, universal elements. The undeniable particularity of each cultural system thereby presents no barrier to the advancement of history. Rather\, they argued that manifesting local specifics was a vehicle contributing to the modern quest for the universal. Through the notion of a diffused locus of the universal\, The Critical Review relativized the West’s place in the modern world. The second half of the talk reconsiders Mei Guangdi and Wu Mi’s indebtedness to their American “mentor” Irving Babbitt. While Babbitt’s hermeneutic method and historical outlook left an imprint on the intellectual lives of his Chinese students\, Wu and Mei were cognizant of their own as well as Babbitt’s particularity. Their globalism rendered both Prograssive-Era America and post-revolutionary China as parallels that could learn from each other but held neither to be the absolute paragon of human progress. Revering Babbitt\, Mei and Wu wittingly deviated from his teachings in formulating their interpretations of Chinese culture. They epitomized an especially sober kind of student of the West\, a kind that utilized the knowledge of the West to nurture their own cultural acumen\, without idolizing the West as an object of emulation. \nOn Zoom: For registration\, \nhttps://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5wqfuytpj8rG9J3xL6GzpBWbqZdubNe5JJi
