EUROSINICA is a book series for monographs of various thematic focuses, sharing the goal of studying culture and literature in contemporary or historical contexts. The series, under the imprint of Peter Lang, was founded in 1984 by the German sinologist Günther Debon (1921–2005) and the Canadian comparatist Adrian Hsia (1938–2010); so far, thirteen books have been published. While the founding editors placed the emphasis on the transfer processes of classical literary works and motifs between cultures, the continuation of their work requires new approaches.
Rather than operate within the conceptual framework of “cultural dialogue” between an East and a West viewed as distinct entities, the series editors tend to a view of cultures in contact. EUROSINICA is accordingly open for studies and interpretation of authors, personalities, genres and individual works committed to an understanding of humanity as a common source of values which, rather than be impeded by cultural, linguistic or ethnic disparity, are being reshaped and reinvented in different settings.… Read more ⤻

Charles University, Prague
The Institute of East Asian Studies at Charles University, Prague, announces a three year PhD studentship associated with the research project Deconstruction and construction of national traditions and science in China (DEKONTRAV). The studentship will be tenable from the academic year 2013–14.
Science and the scientific spirit were important attributes of modernity for the early twentieth century Chinese intellectuals. On the other hand, scientists and scientific educators in the same period shared the patriotic enthusiasm and cultural sensitivity of the post-May-Fourth intellectuals. This project explores through a range of detailed studies the mutual interplay of science, patriotism and cultural criticism in the years ca. 1900–1950, with a possible extension until the start of the Cultural Revolution. More details about the project can be found on our website http://www.cck-isc.ff.cuni.cz/en/dekontrav.html.
Applicants can focus on any relevant topic within the broad field covered by the project description, with the following areas especially welcome:

The discovery of tea goes back to Chinese antiquity, and, according to Arab legends, Mohammed
was healed by coffee. Both drinks have centuries of history to show for. Today, carried into the four
corners of the world, these two are the drinks most frequently consumed daily, right after water (and
actually, there is quite a rivalry between them for the title). This geographic and historical pervasion
makes an inquiry into their cultural representations in language and practice seem fruitful.
Numerous scientific papers have already dealt with the impact of tea and coffee on our bodies, so
we would like to take a closer look at their description and appreciation as cultural objects in
different contexts. PR and marketing have strongly changed the image of tea and coffee: We now

Editors: Brian Bergen-Aurand, Nanyang Technological University, Mary Mazzilli, Nanyang Technological University, Hee Wai Siam, Nanyang Technological University. This collection invites essays considering the evolving relation among National, Transnational Chinese, and Sinophone Cinemas and conceptualizations and deployments of embodiment and the body. It seeks to consider multiple aspects of Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinematic production, distribution, exhibition, and reception (critical and theoretical). And, it strives to consider bodies located in different times, places, and situations. The editors seek perspectives on Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas in terms of representation and function, identification and recognition, as phenomenological encounter, material process, “lived experience,” “sensation,” where cognitive, emotional, and corporeal processes meet. These essays will engage with Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas in the light of new approaches to the traditional mind/body divide.
This volume on Transnational Chinese Cinema calls for examinations of these issues in all forms. The editors invite essays that consider these (and other related) topics:
Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas and affect
Transnational Chinese and Sinophone and Sinophone Cinemas and the senses
Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas and the body
Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas and cognition
Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas, Sensation, Sensuality, and Sentiment
Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas as materially-embodied structure
Desire and Disgust
Bodies in cinema and bodies at the cinema
Audio-visual-haptic Reception
Questions of Gender, Sex, Sexuality
Questions of Race, Class, Ethnicity
Questions of Religion and the body in Transnational Chinese Cinemas

Norms and Ideals

Nye’s concept, whose focus is primarily on the United States, has been adopted or adapted by countries around the world.

The development of social organizations and protest movements is one of the outstanding
phenomena of the transformation of authoritarian regimes such as China and Cuba, but also of
newly “democratized” countries whose institutional modes of functioning remain chiefly
authoritarian, such as Russia. Beyond the ambiguity of the term “civil society” exported from
twenty years by the actors of international cooperation, this workshop will investigate citizen
mobilization to defend the rights of other citizens and how it serves to transform authoritarian
regimes from within.
We propose to overcome divisions between a deterministic perspective, which has long
prevailed in political science -that of transitology- and a purely sociological perspective only
focused on practices and discourses of social actors, to take into account the relationship
between the social and the political.… Read more ⤻

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 ⤻

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 ⤻
