「反思當代中國的儒家復興：經驗研討的視角」聚會場地

研討會征稿啟事

 

在過往的約半個世紀，儒家的現代命運正在悄然發生著瑜伽教室逆轉性變化。一方面，當余英時(1998)師長教師在1980年月以“游魂聚會場地說”概述儒家的現代處境時，其冷靜而嚴酷的筆觸讓我們不得不承認儒家與現實生涯世界存在著宏大斷裂。事實上，自二十世紀初以來，儒家經歷了漫長而耐久的知識化重構過程，從一個觸及政治、社會、教導、文明和心靈的完備綜合體窄化為一個純粹學感性、理論性的知識形態，從而與社會實踐和人倫日用發生嚴重脫離，無法再為人類生涯供給日常教化和精力指導。但另一方面，進進二十一世紀以后，儒家日益呈現出一種與知識化取向相反的趨勢——它逸出年夜學的學科建制和學術邊界，向平易近間社會滲透，在社會組織和年夜眾領域扎下基礎，成為越來越多個體安居樂業的精力源泉。當前的儒家復興展現出明顯的草根性、年夜眾性和社會性，儒家行動者和平易近間團體成為儒家舞蹈教室恢復性命力、重振精力性影響、重啟日凡人生舞蹈場地化的主力之一。有學者(Billioud and Thoraval 2015)以“平易近間儒家”稱之，包括兩個維度：一是指非官方的儒家活動，這些活動在國家行政機器之外開展，但并不完整脫離國家氣力的把持；一是指由通俗人開展的儒學活動（第8頁）。對此，有兩點觀察值得留意。第一，當儒家在社會年夜眾和日常生涯復興時，它呈現出一種明顯的碎片化狀態，即儒家復興發生多樣而差異的領域里，這些領域之間缺少明確聯系，儒家的某些部門猶如“補丁”普通被拼綴在分歧領域的分歧方面中(Billioud 2010)。第二，平易近間儒家的興起展現的是當代儒家復興的“下行路線”，它與“下行路線”（即由政治和學術精英自上而下推動的路線）之間絕非平行關系，而是彼此交織、彼此纏結、競相促進、動態發展。

 

上述變化是產生于二十世紀八十年月的“游魂說”始料未及的，但在當前的儒家研討中被忽視了。實際上，儒家在多重社會領域的復興客觀上給研討者們提出了一種新的請求，即應該采取一種更具經驗取向的、跨學科的研討視野，通過扎實的郊野任務和實地調查，探討當代中國儒家復興的經驗事實，由此才共享會議室有能夠更好地輿解正在涌現的當下。鑒于此，本次特刊誠邀有志之士，配合探討和反思當代中國的儒家復興。本特刊特別歡迎基于小樹屋經驗、調查和事實的研討。學科領域不限。本特刊盼望聚焦正在涌現的、與儒家復興有關的社會經驗與事實，而非單純采用哲學化的剖析視角；強調調查方式并對儒學復興現象做社會科學剖析，而相對淡化對理論概念的哲學思辨。舉凡與當代中國儒家復興有關的研討論文，皆在本特刊征稿范圍內。具體主題包含但不限于：（1）儒家與教導；（2）修身實踐與個體性命；（3）儒家與宗教實踐；（4）儒家、祭奠與儀式；（5）儒家、政治與平易近族-國家；（6）儒家與商業社會；（7）儒家、家庭與性別；（8）儒家與社會行動；（9）儒家與社交媒體；等等。

Call for Papers

Rethinking Confucian revival in contemporary China through empirical perspectives

 

The modern fate of Confucianism is undergoing dramatic reversals over the past half a century. Yu Yingshi (1998) used the metaphor of “wandering soul” to describe th家教e modern situation o講座場地f Confucianism in the 1980s, implying the huge disruption of Confucianism from real life. Confucianism has undergone a long, still o舞蹈教室ngoing process of intellectu舞蹈場地al reconstru舞蹈教室ction since the beginning of the twentieth century, narrowing from a comprehensive system that covers politics, society, education, and culture to a philosophical/theoretical form of knowledge. This has resulted i會議室出租n Confucianism being separated from social practices and human relations and in its accused incompetency to provide spiritual sources for personal cultivation. However, since entering the 21st century, Confucianism has increasingly displayed a different trend from the previous intellectualization process. It go小樹屋es beyond the disciplinary boundaries and academic institutions, penetrates the folk society (minjian shehui), takes root in social groups and public domains, and becomes the spiritual source of individuals. Billioud and Thorava會議室出租l (2015) indicated that “popular Confucianism” (minjian rujia) emerges rapidly in the past two decades, this te家教rm implying two 共享會議室dimensions: one refers to the unofficial, Confucian-related activities, which are carried out beyond the state administrative apparatus but are not c交流ompletely out of its control; one refers to the Confucian activities promoted by ordinary people. In this regard, two observations deserve notice. First, the revival of popular Confucianism is displayed as a patchwork of fragmented and scattered activities, reappea共享空間ring教學 in differentiated and divided fields (Billioud 2010). Second, the rise of popular Confucianism shows the “downward route個人空間” (from bottom to top) of Confucian revival, which is by no means a parallel to the “upward route” (that from top to bottom, promoted by political and academic elites). Instead, the downward and upward routes are intertwined and interacting dynamically. 

 

However, the recent changes as described above have been largely underestimated in the scholarship of Confucian studies. The fact of Confucianism revival in diverse fields has posed an urgent call for empirical, i會議室出租nterdisciplinary approaches to gain hands-on understanding of what is actually happening. 瑜伽教室Against this back共享空間ground, we invite proposals that address various aspects of Confucian revival in contemporary China. We particularly welcome empirical studies that pay attention to the evidence, facts and experience related to the revival of Confucianism. There is no limit to the fields of disciplines. Possible topics may include but are not limited to the following: (1) Confucianism and education; (2) Self-cultivation and individual life; (3) Confucianism and religious practice; (4) Confucianism and rituals; (5) Confucianism, politics and nation-state; (6) Confucianism and commercial society; (7) Confucianism, family and gender; (8) Confucianism and social action; (9) Confucianism and social media, among others. 

 

Depending on the number of received proposals, we will consider either a journal special issue or a format of an edited volume. We will aim at an IF journ1對1教學al or a recognizable publisher (for English articles), or a CSSCI journal (for Chinese articles). 

 

We are happy to inform you that this proposal has been accepted by the “Social Theory Workshop” hosted by the journal Shehui(Society) and has been approved to run the panel(s) on 8th August 2021 for up to a whole個人空間 day (via online approach). Accepted abstract authors will be kindly invit瑜伽教室ed 共享空間to attend the online panels to discuss their draft versions of submissions. 

 

Potential contributors are kindly invited to submit an abstract, either in Chinese or in English (max 300 words in English; 500 characters in Chinese), as well as a short bio/institutional affiliation/contact details, no later than June 10th, 2021, to: Canglong.Wang@hull.ac.uk. Accepted proposals will be contacted afterwards regarding the details of full draft submission.
