FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: “Professional Standards and Norms of Translation: Reflections from the Perspective of the Sociology of Law” by Prof. Zhao Junfeng
FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: “Professional Standards and Norms of Translation: Reflections from the Perspective of the Sociology of Law” by Prof. Zhao Junfeng
Abstract: As the only national professional association, Translators’ Association of China (TAC), along with other relevant departments and institutions, developed and issued a host of professional standards and norms of translation which, to some extent, has contributed to and will continue to push for an orderly development of language services industry in China. Nevertheless, related laws with binding force are yet to be developed to ensure the transition of the industry from “a chaotic market” to “a professional autonomy.” Interactive relations between industry norms and prospective laws are explored from the perspective of the sociology of law, and suggestions on the legislation of translation industry are accordingly presented in this talk. Biography: Junfeng Zhao is Ph.D. in forensic linguistics, professor […]

DHIST guest lecture: 商會與近代市民社會雛形的形成, 馬敏教授
DHIST guest lecture: 商會與近代市民社會雛形的形成, 馬敏教授
講座摘要: 近代商會組織與其它城市民間社團組織的集體互動、協作效應，導致了某種更複雜的社會自組織過程的發生，形成了所謂“在野市政權力網路”。其實質內涵，是城市行政權力部分由官方下移民間，構成國家權力機關之外的社會權力體系。這一權力體系儘管仍受官方的監督與控馭，但已多少具有相對獨立性和自治權，實際上是一種正在形成中的、職能尚不完善的“地方性民間自治社會”，換言之，也就是與近代早期西方類似的“市民社會”（Civil Society）的雛形。 有關近代商會組織與市民社會雛形的描述與認知，對我們理解今天中國的國家與社會關係具有某種提示性意義，並有助於進一步完善現代社會治理體系及其理論。
DHIST guest lecture: 時勢、觀念與歷史論述——“中國近代史”如何形成
DHIST guest lecture: 時勢、觀念與歷史論述——“中國近代史”如何形成
講座摘要: 關於中國近代史的論述最初是由西人進行的。1830年代，西人中的對華激進派為實現通過武力迫使中國開放的政治目標，進行早期中西關係史的建構。其政治論辯又導向對國際法與自然法、中西文明地位與價值的論述，多種因素導致了西人闡述鴉片戰爭史的方式。與此相聯繫，他們將相關論述延伸到對清代社會形態與中國歷史分期等問題的討論，並以進步史觀為依託，形成對中國歷史走向的認識，對晚清的歷史進行評論與書寫。在19世紀後期到20世紀早期的一系列著作中，上述論點與史觀逐漸沉澱為具有較長遠影響的早期中國近代史體系。

FAH/DPHIL Guest Lecture – “Observing Trump: A Systems-Theoretical Postscriptum” by Prof. Markus Heidingsfelder, Xiamen University Malaysia
FAH/DPHIL Guest Lecture – “Observing Trump: A Systems-Theoretical Postscriptum” by Prof. Markus Heidingsfelder, Xiamen University Malaysia
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/93087193232 Abstract In his talk, Dr. Heidingsfelder will add a postscriptum to his recently published book on Donald Trump (Trump - beobachtet/Observing Trump). By defocalizing the president's actions and shifting the attention toward social structures, he aims to overcome the 'thin' explanations that still dominate the academic debate and reveal the dependency of individuals and events upon social systems - including "Individual 1". His main thesis is that 'systems conflicts' are responsible for the noise around the 45th president of the United States; conflicts between the system of politics and other sub-systems of society, mainly the law, the economy, the mass media, and science. Bio Markus Heidingsfelder is the author of System Pop (2012) and Trump - […]
