Yet, how exactly did reading impact on individuals, society and the larger developments and transformations in Chinese history? What did Chinese citizens read when, why, and how? In how far was reading a transformative act for everyone – and what readings were limited to certain groups, to intellectual, literary or political elites? Studying historical reading practices poses a number of methodological problems, not least because it is very often a private, even intimate activity of which little historical documents exist. Extant accounts – often autobiographical sources – are ephemeral, anecdotal, and very often vague. To analyze reading practices during China’s long 1970s quantitatively, we developed the ReadAct database (https://readchina.github.io/readact.html) chronicling concrete historical reading acts as recorded in a broad array of life writing sources. In this paper, I will present findings from the database, taking into account the biases and blind spots in the sources and in the database. Considering that most accounts were written by urban educated youth sent to the countryside and considering what they chose to write about in their accounts (and what to leave out) the database chronicles how much of the social, literary and intellectual change commonly associated with the early years of the reform era had its origins in the reading quests of the rusticated educated youth. Moreover, these reading quests also anticipate how as a group these youths – many of them social and political outcasts at the time – would transform into the literary, cultural and / or intellectual elite of the early reform years. diff --git a/_posts/2024-05-30-DamianParis copy.md b/_posts/2024-05-30-DamianParis copy.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6a7a7f3 --- /dev/null +++ b/_posts/2024-05-30-DamianParis copy.md @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +--- +layout: post +title: "Lena Henningsen to Present at the 2024 IÜD Showcase in Heidelberg on 3 July" +date: 2024-06-19 +categories: jekyll update +--- + +![IUeD ShowCase Dolmetschwissenschaft Live](../assets/images/Showcase-HD-2024.png) + +ChinaComx PI, Lena Henningsen, will present on the realm of translating Chinese comics at the [ShowCase Dolmetschwissenschaft Live](https://www.uni-heidelberg.de/fakultaeten/neuphil/iask/sued/imstudium/showcase_fachkonferenz.html) at the Institut für Übersetzen und Dolmetschen (Institue for Translation and Interpreting) at Heidelberg University, in the Konferenzsaal II at Plöck 57A, on 3 July. + +The talk is titled "LIANHUANHUA (连环画): CHINESE COMICS IN TRANSLATION AND IN TRANSCULTURAL PERSPECTIVE" and will be at 14:15.

Click [here](../assets/images/PoliticalLivesInSocialistChina.pdf) for the program. + + +His paper abstract: +> Conventional understanding of post-Cultural Revolution China suggests a gradual but steady shift from politics to production. However, did politics truly vanish, or did one form of the political replace another? This paper takes a case study approach, examining a selection of mid-1970s mass-reading campaigns, to inquire how political study continued to shape the daily lives of workers and cadres. The mass phase of the Cultural Revolution, due to the excesses of group readings of confessions and accusations at struggle sessions, rendered texts relevant to virtually everyone. Once it was over by the early-1970s, it gave way again to more systematically organized practices of collective reading akin to those functioning in the PRC since 1949. While study materials swiftly adapted to current political goals, a system of incentives and penalties ensured regular participation. Detailed descriptions from above further facilitated a tightly controlled guidance. State propaganda hence put much effort in utilizing collective reading practices to convey notions of statehood, class struggle, and mass society. At the same time, collective readers ultimately choose their own participation strategies ranging from enthusiastic activism through careful ignorance to blatant disruption. Examining the intertwined relationship between collective reading practices, the resurgence of the state apparatus, and the intra-party struggles over Mao’s succession illustrates how the lived experience of politics retained its significance also within the context of state socialist promotion of production. + diff --git a/assets/css/style.css b/assets/css/style.css index fad5cdf..8298ad8 100644 --- a/assets/css/style.css +++ b/assets/css/style.css @@ -18,8 +18,7 @@ a:hover { } a:focus { - outline: 2px solid #521600; /* Add focus outline for accessibility */ - outline-offset: 2px; + outline: none; } a:active { @@ -206,7 +205,7 @@ header .logos-right { flex-direction: row; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; - width: 80%; /* Ensure the width is 80% */ + width: 70%; max-width: 1200px; margin: 0 auto; /* Center the splash content */ } @@ -439,3 +438,32 @@ input, textarea { .team-member a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } + +/* General reset for focus outlines */ +* { + outline: none; +} + +/* Specific reset for the arrow down */ +.arrow-down { + position: relative; + display: inline-block; +} + +.arrow-down:focus { + outline: none; + border: none; +} + +.arrow-down:focus::before, +.arrow-down:focus::after { + content: none; +} + +.post img { + float: left; + margin-left: 20px; + margin-bottom: 20px; + max-width: 150px; /* Adjust as needed */ + border-radius: 5px; /* Optional: to add some rounding to the image */ +} diff --git a/assets/images/Fach23_Programm_Version_8.4.2024.pdf b/assets/images/Fach23_Programm_Version_8.4.2024.pdf new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9a3ee09 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/images/Fach23_Programm_Version_8.4.2024.pdf differ diff --git a/assets/images/FachverbandTagung2024Programm_090424-FINALKURZ.pdf b/assets/images/FachverbandTagung2024Programm_090424-FINALKURZ.pdf new file mode 100644 index 0000000..bd1a784 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/images/FachverbandTagung2024Programm_090424-FINALKURZ.pdf differ diff --git a/assets/images/PoliticalLivesInSocialistChina.pdf b/assets/images/PoliticalLivesInSocialistChina.pdf new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3b1a0ab Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/images/PoliticalLivesInSocialistChina.pdf differ diff --git a/assets/images/PoliticalLivesInSocialistChina.png b/assets/images/PoliticalLivesInSocialistChina.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..879c2ef Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/images/PoliticalLivesInSocialistChina.png differ diff --git a/assets/images/RMCE-2024.png b/assets/images/RMCE-2024.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..eb8db2b Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/images/RMCE-2024.png differ diff --git a/assets/images/Showcase-HD-2024.pdf b/assets/images/Showcase-HD-2024.pdf new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f43e914 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/images/Showcase-HD-2024.pdf differ diff --git a/assets/images/Showcase-HD-2024.png b/assets/images/Showcase-HD-2024.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c17fdf4 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/images/Showcase-HD-2024.png differ diff --git a/lena.md b/lena.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c48489f --- /dev/null +++ b/lena.md @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +--- +layout: default +title: Lena Henningsen +nav-menu: false +permalink: /team/lena/ +--- + +test \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/team.md b/team.md index 6c174bf..1cbd2c1 100644 --- a/team.md +++ b/team.md @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ permalink: /team/
