Call for Papers: International Workshop Dynamics of knowledge transmission and linguistic transformation in Chinese textual cultures
organised by Barbara Bisetto (University of Verona, Italy) and Rainier Lanselle (Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes and CRCAO, Paris).
Dates: September 17-18, 2020 Location: University of Verona, Verona (Italy)
The circulation and the dissemination of knowledge rely in essential ways on forms of linguistics transformation, alteration and manipulation. Historically, practices of linguistic transformation and manipulation, from the writing of glosses and paraphrases to the elaboration of full-fledged commentaries and rewritings, have served as important vehicles for the transmission and dissemination of knowledge. In a similar way, nowadays, the ever-increasing specialization of language use within large sectors of knowledge (e.g. in the fields of law, medicine, science, technology etc.) is often counterbalanced by efforts to make the language more readily understandable and to improve textual comprehensibility. On the other hand, a certain opacity of language still maintains an indisputable relevance in many situations. In engaging with the dynamics of knowledge transmission within Chinese textual traditions, this workshop aims to address the specific question of language use in a variety of textual practices that can enable or hinder transfer processes. It invites theoretical and descriptive contributions on all periods of Chinese textual tradition.
Topics of interests include but are not limited to the following:
– Notions of popularizing discourse, language simplification, intralingual translation, textual comprehensibility, and the correlated view of language obscurity and opacity, in different textual traditions; – Investigations on language features, discourse strategies and textual practices related to notions of ‘simple’ language (i.e. simple literary Chinese, plain language, traditional discussions on categories like su 俗, wen 文, ya 雅, qian 淺 etc); – Practices of language transformation and textual modes of transmission in relation to genre categorization and to the emergence of new genres; – Agents, networks, media engaged in practices of knowledge transmission and linguistic transformation; – Digital tools for the investigation of textual transmission and linguistic transformation.
We invite submission of up to 500 words abstract. Please send abstract, or other questions or queries, to barbara.bisetto@univr.it and to rainier.lanselle@ephe.psl.eu Submission deadline: March 31, 2020. Notification of acceptance: April 30, 2020.

This project builds on a partnership with the Chinese government that involved field research and Knowledge Exchange activities to improve our understanding and management of fragile critical zone ecosystems across China.

To research current knowledge and use of decision support tools (DSTs) in China to improve the environmental and social sustainability of agricultural practice in China; To extend the geographic and/or depth of KE survey work of farmers to county leaders carried out in the earlier projects to inform the design of DSTs; Use this understanding to inform the design of DSTs and the delivery of associated training workshops to be as well-suited for the Chinese context as possible; Aims 1-3 will help ensure effective translation of research outputs and KE outcomes from the MIDST and earlier NERC-China CZO projects.
The ideal candidate will have training or experience to PhD level in socioeconomics, social science or geographical sciences, particularly in projects related to the management of land resources in Asia.

PhD Scholarship on Chinese Film & Soft Power at Nottingham’s Ningbo Campus, China
This project aims to examine the role of film in the formation, projection and reception of Chinese soft power, which, according to Nye (2004), means a nation’s ability to achieve goals through attraction, but not coercion or payment. It will investigate films screened at the Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), which created the “BRI Film Night” in 2018 for cultural and educational exchange that featured 26 films from 26 countries. It will also investigate films selected in the following years by the SIFF that were toured in specific BRI countries, with the mandate of “spreading Chinese culture and telling Chinese stories.” Finally, it will investigate the development of the BRI film festival alliance, which currently includes 38 institutions in 33 countries, and is projected to grow.
