New on the site this time, an interview with Yang Ping, editor of the Beijing Cultural Review, arguably contemporary China’s most important intellectual review – Yang himself has compared his journal to The Atlantic. The interview is a fascinating illustration of what is possible in contemporary China’s intellectual world, but also of the compromises that are required.
I’m home in Switzerland now after a lovely month-long tour of Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Peru). I’ll be giving a series of talks in Germany in a couple of weeks, and between April 14 and 26 will be in Halle, Würzburg, Göttingen, Berlin, Heidelberg, and Stuttgart, mostly as part of the project “Worldmaking from a Global Perspective: A Dialogue with China,” sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The cover title for my talks is: “A China we can talk to?” For those interested in attending one of my talks, here is the schedule: April 17, 6:00 p.m., Universität Würzburg, Zentrales Hörsaal- und Seminargebäude, Z6, Hörsaal 0.001, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg April 18, 4:00 p.m. Universität Göttingen, Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum 0.602, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14, 37073 Göttingen April 22, 4:00 p.m. Universität Berlin, Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut, Koserstr. 20, Raum 336, 14195 Berlin April 24, 6:15 p.m. Universität Heidelberg, Center for Asian and Transcultural Studies (CATS), Voßstraße 2, 69115 Heidelberg, Seminar Building, R. 010.01.05 If anyone wants to meet up for a chat somewhere, just send me an email and we’ll see what we can do.
