China als eine der ältesten Hochkulturen der Welt hat dementsprechend eines der ältesten

Rechtssysteme der Welt. Das Rechtsverständnis unterscheidet sich jedoch deutlich von dem

"westlicher" Staaten. Die Differenzen und die eurozentristische Sichtweise führen zu Konflikten auf internationaler Ebene, da zum Beispiel selbst ähnliche Rechtsgrundlagen mit einer völlig anderen Rechtsauffassung einher gehen.

Das chinesische Rechtssystem und deren Rechtsverständnis können nicht ohne der

jahrtausendealten Rechtsgeschichte und deren kulturellen Kontext betrachtet werden. Die

konfuzianische und die legalistische Lehre spielen dabei ebenso eine wichtige Rolle, wie die

Überformung mit marxistisch-leninistischen Ideologien in der Mao-Zeit und ab 1978 der Einfluss der führenden Industrienationen und wichtiger Handelspartner insbesondere mit Beginn der WTOBeitrittsverhandlungen ab 1986.

Grundlegend muss in diesem Zusammenhang die Frage erörtert werden, was ein Rechtssystem

überhaupt ist und was es ausmacht. Es muss insbesondere auf die Differenz von Law in Books und Law in Action eingegangen werden. Unter diesen Fragestellungen soll überprüft werden, wie sich das chinesische Rechtssystem und Rechtsverständnis in der Realität gestaltet. Anhand von aktuellen exemplarischen Schlüsseltexten, Filmen und bekannten Fällen aus den Medien - wie zum Beispiel den immer wieder kehrenden Streitigkeiten über den Schutz geistigen Eigentums oder ganz konkreten Fällen, wie dem Nagelhaus in Chongqing - sollen in diesem Seminar die Besonderheiten des chinesischen Rechts erörtert werden.

Studentische mündliche und schriftliche Beiträge der Teilnehmenden sind sehr willkommen.

Chinesischkenntnisse werden begrüßt, sind aber keine Notwendigkeit.

The relationship between history, collective memory and cultural heritage is a delicate and subtle. “But heritage is not history, even when it mimics history. It uses historical traces and tells historical tales, but these tales and traces are stitched into fables that are open neither to critical analysis nor to comparative scrutiny (Lowenthal 1998:121)”. In the contemporary social and cultural shaping context of China, especially since the 2000s, the synergistic exploration and interpretation of the above three concepts have never ceased and has always revolved around the ultimate metaphysical topic of 'who we are' and 'where we are going'. Starting with the " In Search of the Origins of Chinese Civilization1", which has been implemented continuously as a major national strategy since the beginning of the 21st century, to the revival of Confucianism (Hubbert 2017), to the trend of cultural heritage preservation and 'traditional cultural revival(TSCIO 2017)', until the "Rural Revitalization2" policy as a national strategy in 2017, all are seeking to link and give new meaning to past stories and places of historical significance. In this way, the aim is to find the basis for interpretation of specific events, policies and group positioning in the social situation that is increasingly volatile, full of uncertainty and intensifying contradictions, thus gain legitimacy for official discourse, ideological and policy changes.

Notes:

1.Since 2001, the multi-year project “In Search of the Origins of Chinese Civilization: a Long-term Transdisciplinary Program” has continued to receive the support of national research funding programs and has been in operation for decades until now, analysing issues concerning the origins of Chinese civilization. It is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the social sciences, humanities and the natural sciences, with archaeology at its core. Due to the controversy of this topic, especially whether the Chinese civilization could extend back 5,000 years, it has been greatly valued and supported by Chinese officials. See the detail description from The Institute of Archaeology CASS:

2.The ‘Rural revitalisation(乡村振兴战略)’ strategy was introduced in October 2017, then applied in 2018. China now has increasing regards at rural areas development, February 2021, ‘The National Administration for Rural Revitalisation (国家乡村振兴局)’ was formed. April 2021, ‘Law of the People's Republic of China on the Promotion of Revitalisation of Rural Areas (中华人民共和国乡村振兴促进法)’ was adopted at the 28th session of the Standing Committee of the Thirteenth National People's Congress.

Course Description

This seminar will provide participants a profound understanding of the Chinese Education System that is a formative background for modern personnel development in China. It illustrates the deep roots in its ancient history, and, later, the progressive development in modern China.

Moreover, the seminar brings in perspectives from Chinese history, philosophy, culture, economy, business, as well as ongoing current human resources development and human capital transformations and trends. Case Studies will demonstrate Chinese sociocultural characteristics, lifelong learning aspects, and last but not the least, lessons-learned of multinational corporations in China.
