FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Chinese Philosophy and the Method of Sublation: Epistemic Encounters in Transcultural Contexts” by Prof. Jana Rošker, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Chinese Philosophy and the Method of Sublation: Epistemic Encounters in Transcultural Contexts” by Prof. Jana Rošker, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/95815495291 Password: 284315 Abstract The lecture will be dealing with problems encountered by Western researchers working in the field of Chinese philosophy. It will open with a discussion of intercultural and transcultural methodologies and illuminates some of the most common issues inherent in traditional intercultural comparisons in the field of philosophy. Taking into account the current state of the so-called postcomparative discourses in the field of transcultural philosophy and starting from the notion of culturally divergent frames of reference, it will then focus upon semantic aspects of the Chinese philosophical tradition and expose the need for discursive translations. On this basis, a new postcomparative approach in transcultural philosophical studies of Chinese philosophy will be suggested. In this context, […]

FAH-DENG sharing session: ‘Chronotopic Tension’
FAH-DENG sharing session: ‘Chronotopic Tension’
ABSTRACT Drawing from Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of the "chronotope", the lecture explores the dynamic ways by which spatial and temporal features which are often marginalized in traditional literary studies play a dominant role in structuring the aesthetic of a narrative. Among such features is "setting" as it is often assumed to be merely a passive backdrop of a story as opposed to, say, plot or characters that are often assumed to play a dominant role in narrative framing. But as spatiotemporally configured, in selected Southeast Asian fictional texts which will be the focus of this lecture, such often-neglected features as setting embody distinct if ambivalent chronotopic images, throwing the narrative features asunder, even as they are held together by the […]

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “How to Follow the Fact of Human Beings and Herd the Masses — Han Fei Zi’s View of Human Nature” by Prof. Bai Tongdong, Fudan University, China
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “How to Follow the Fact of Human Beings and Herd the Masses — Han Fei Zi’s View of Human Nature” by Prof. Bai Tongdong, Fudan University, China
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/95782628726 Password: 976123 Abstract Han Fei Zi’s understanding of human nature is far more complicated than the idea that human beings are bad, a view that is often. He acknowledges the fact that there is goodness in human nature, and it could render humans to live peacefully with each other under the condition of plentifulness. But under the condition of scarcity, humans’ goodness becomes ineffective, and the pursuit of material profit becomes the main driver of human actions. While the majority can only rationalize about short-term material interests, the few can do long-term planning. Other than rational capacity, there is another thing uniquely human, which is vanity. This is a secondary driving force of human actions. In few […]

Andrew Moody 14:00: Norms in World Englishes: Three Misconceptions in Applied Linguistics This presentation will briefly introduce the “three circles” model of world Englishes (WE) that has defined research in the field for nearly 40 years. Although Kachru (1986) argued that new English varieties (a.k.a. new Englishes, world Englishes, etc.) should be understood within their acquisitional, sociocultural, motivational and functional contexts, the full breadth of contexts have been frequently overlooked within many disciplines in applied linguistics. This paper will briefly introduce Kachru’s world Englishes model and illustrate three common misconceptions about the model in language teaching contexts: (1) the language proficiency fallacy, (2) the developmental cline fallacy, and (3) the variability fallacy. In response to these fallacies, the presentation will […]
