Winter Semester 2020/21
Canonisation Processes in East Asia
The lecture series set a new thematic focus at the IZO in the winter semester 2020/21. Processes of canonisation in East Asian societies as well as regional and national interactions and the associated interaction dynamics are also the focus of a joint application project by IZO researchers led by Managing Director Prof. Amelung.
In this lecture series, which was held virtually due to the pandemic, researchers from Germany, Norway and the USA presented research contributions on canonization processes in East Asia to an interested audience.
Summer Semester 2020
The Korean Peninsula: The Past and The Present
In accordance with the central concept “Global East Asia – Past and Present” IZO organized during the summer semester 2020 a series of guest lectures entitled “The Korean Peninsula: Past and Present”. From an interdisciplinary perspective and with a view to the past and the present, these lectures looked at Korea’s increasing interdependence with the rest of the world, for instance in processes of globalization.
The lectures, which were open to students and a wider public, offered a better understanding of Korea’s place in a globalized world, looking at developments from the Chosŏn era to the present. Experts from various fields with a common interest in Korea discussed links between the past and social and political dynamics in present-day Korea, including migration processes, cultural appropriations and literary transformations.
