International Graduate Student Conference 2023 (November 16-17, 2023)

16. November 2023, 09:00 - 13:00

International Graduate Student Conference

Flows and Circulations Agents, Narratives, Institutions: A Transcultural Perspective

流动与交通——行动者、叙事、建制:跨文化的视角

For the first time since the cooperation between Heidelberg University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University began more than 10 years ago, the Center for Asian Studies and Transcultural Studies (CATS), the Confucius Institute at Heidelberg University (CIHD), and the School of Humanities at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) hosted an International Graduate Student Conference in November 2022.

Six young scholars from each of the two universities – master’s and doctoral students – presented their research in twenty-minute online presentations, which were then discussed in plenary sessions. The broad spectrum of topics covered Chinese and German poetry, visual arts, Buddhism, Chinese history and history didactics, science fiction literature, as well as production and reception aesthetics of historical newspaper advertising and contemporary computer games. The two best papers were awarded the “Sheng Sheng 生生 Best Student Paper Award”, which was endowed with 3,000 RMB each.

After the great success of the first workshop in 2022, CATS, SJTU and CIHD are happy to announce that a joint International Graduate Student Conference will be held again on November 16-17, 2023 in order to promote the academic exchange between the School of Humanities, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Centre for Asian and Transcultural Studies (CATS), Heidelberg University.

This year’s conference theme “Flows and Circulations – Agents, Narratives, Institutions: A Transcultural Perspective” (流动与交通——行动者、叙事、建制:跨文化的视角) focuses on cultural, philosophical, historical, social, economic and artistic interaction and its transcultural dynamics. It further asks about the role of agents, narratives and institutions involved in transcultural processes. Topics can range from migration and trade to (the formation of) concepts and institutions; they can touch upon agents and their networks, the complexities of historical relationships, as well as general dynamics of circulation and exchange.Graduate students and young professionals from both universities are invited to submit abstracts of 250 words on topics related to the conference theme by September 10, 2023 to the following email address: international-hum@sjtu.edu.cn. Decision of acceptance will be announced by the end of September.The conference will be held in English. Speakers will have 25 minutes to present their papers, followed by 15 minutes for Q&A. Due to the time difference, talks given by the students/young professionals from CATS will be arranged during 9 am to 1 pm, Heidelberg time (4 pm to 8 pm, Shanghai time).To recognize the most outstanding paper presented at the conference, the conference committee will nominate the “Sheng Sheng 生生 Best Student Paper Award”. To be eligible for the award, the full paper needs be submitted by November 1, 2023 to the same email address (international-hum@sjtu.edu.cn). The paper should be about 3,000 words long and formatted with 12pt and 1.5 line spacing for better readability. In addition to the title of the paper, abstract and keywords, we also add your full name, home university, study program and year, as well as your email address. Thank you very much!
The award comprises an honorarium of 3,000 RMB (appr. 400 Euro). The event is part of the 3rd International Week organized by the School of Humanities, SJTU.
