lodz sUniversity of Łódź, Poland

6th – 7th Jun 2013.

After the 2012 edition’s success, when over 30 foreign guests participated (among others, from Japan, China, Taiwan, USA, Russia, Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic) we wish to continue the Lodz East Asia Meeting as an international event. This way it gives a valuable opportunity for the exchange of ideas between scholars from different countries. This is of significant importance to young researchers, who always make up a significant number of the participants. For them, it represents a chance to develop international contacts and become more familiar with different methodological approaches.
 

The phenomenon that is the dynamic change of Asia’s position in international relations and its rising political and economic significance require proper analysis. The aim of the conference is to determine the nature and importance of the changing role of Asia in world affairs.… Read more ⤻

“Responsible China” the 11th biennial Conference of the Nordic Association for China Studies (NACS)

Extended Deadline: 31th Mar 2013
Turku, Finland, 11th – 14th Jun 2013

 


As China develops rapidly it faces a number of challenges with/in its natural environment, social structure, governance system and ethnic policies just to name a few of the more salient fields. How can China’s policy makers, ordinary citizens, companies and popular organizations respond to their changing situations? Ultimately, would a richer and more developed China also require more responsible government towards its citizens, environment and region? At the same time, the world is facing a more powerful and self-confident China. With its might growing also its responsibilities to the rest of the world grow. How should and could the global community support China’s development into a responsible superpower, or is it even possible?

The 11th NACS conference organizers particularly welcome papers or panel proposals touching the theme of responsibility, but as a comprehensive conference bringing together China researchers in the Nordic area and beyond, also proposals on other China-related fields and topics such as, but not limited to, politics, economy, society, history, gender studies, cultural studies and humanities are welcome.… Read more ⤻

“Transitions: State, Society and Culture in China” An international conference in honour of Professor V.P. Dutt

5th – 6th Apr 2013
Delhi, India


A central feature of China’s modern experience has been a series of often rapid transitions. In fact, since the middle of the 20th century China’s history can be periodized by significant events as markers of transition. While there has been the obvious transition from a command economy to market socialism, there have been no less significant social, political/ideological and cultural transitions which have released new forces, created new styles of functioning, changed the locus of power and pressure within the state, transformed institutions and given rise to new subjects for the consideration of the state and the law in China. The conventional view is that most transitions have been a fallout, if at times unintended, of China’s economic reforms. However, this misses the fact that the modern Chinese state is a work in progress, it has been in transition since its inception in 1950 and the economic reform was but one event, albeit an important one, in this process of transition. … Read more ⤻

BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF CHINESE STUDIES – AN INTRODUCTION

By Frank Dikötter, President of the BACS

The British Association of Chinese Studies is a non-political organisation which has a membership of well over 200 individuals whose interests relate to greater China, drawn mainly from the academic community but also from industry, the media and government. It plays an important role in liaising and consulting with other Area Studies organisations, with funding bodies, with China-related representative offices and with government departments.… Read more ⤻

SOME THOUGHTS IN THE WAKE OF ICAS 2

The Free University campus in south-west Berlin was an attractive summer setting for this event. As usual on such occasions we met old friends and made new. There was a good enough attendance from both sides of the Atlantic to make for a bonding experience. Although the promised Korean musician failed to appear at the opening ceremony we could still enjoy an elegant and wide-ranging keynote address from Professor Wang Gungwu. Even at this short time-range, however, history has already been unkind to him. His speech structured Asian studies in the modern world into three great periods – an Orientalist phase, a Cold War phase characterized by a struggle of ideologies, and the subsequent phase in which we find ourselves now – an era of pluralism and complexity.… Read more ⤻

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A NEWSLETTER?

In issue no. 25 of the EACS Newsletter members of our association were invited to take issue with the author of the featured article “Is Sinology a Science?” Alas, reactions in the EACS on-line discussion forum have been very limited. Instead, the author of the article apparently receives comments addressed to him personally. A culture of open debate in the ECAS forum has yet to develop, it seems.

This present issue of the Newsletter also lacks the usual amount of news and information. The Newsletter depends entirely on EACS members’ own initiative in contributing information or academic points of view. It would be lamentable if the Newsletter offered little but refrences to titles of new publications also available elsewhere.… Read more ⤻

A NEWSLETTER WITH MORE DEBATE?

This issue of the Newsletter features apart from the regular columns with academic information also an abridgment of an article written by an EACS member. In his summary, Hans Kuijper (re-) raises the controversial question whether or not Sinology should be regarded as a scientific discipline. By bringing out this piece in the Newsletter and hopefully later the entire article on the EACS Website, it is the intention of this Editor and the Board of EACS to open the floor to more academic debate within the association.… Read more ⤻
