Anne ChengCollège de FranceHistoire intellectuelle de la ChineAnnée 2023-2024Colloque - Despotismes orientaux, du proche à l'extrême : Vie et mort des empires : Kang Youwei (1858-1927), un réformateur chinois à Rome en 1904Colloque coorganisé par la Pr Anne Cheng, chaire Histoire intellectuelle de la Chine, et le Pr Henry Laurens, chaire Histoire contemporaine du monde arabe.Avec le soutien de la Fondation Hugot.Haun Saussy, Professeur de littérature comparée et chinoise, université de ChicagoBanni de l'empire des grands Qing après son moment de gloire à la tête du gouvernement réformateur de 1898, Kang Youwei (1858-1927) passera quinze ans en exil. Après un séjour initial au Japon, il entamera un tour du monde. À chaque étape, il s'enquiert de l'histoire locale, propose des comparaisons avec la Chine, interroge l'avenir. Au fur et à mesure, il publie ses notes de voyage dans une revue personnelle Buren zazhi (« Je ne souffrirai pas que… »).Assis, comme Edward Gibbon, dans les ruines du Forum romain à la tombée du jour, Kang se livre en 1904 à une longue méditation sur les pratiques d'assemblée populaire. Quelles en sont les conditions de possibilité et quels facteurs amènent leur disparition ? Entre les empires romain et chinois, quelles comparaisons ? La marginalisation du Sénat par Auguste relève-t-elle d'une dynamique universelle, en lien avec des facteurs de population, de territoire, d'alimentation, ou n'est-elle que le dénouement d'un conflit local ? Le passage de l'état à l'empire est-il inévitable ? Comment les parlements survivent-ils aux régimes despotiques ? Peut-on imaginer de passer du régime impérial au régime démocratique ?Rien, dans cette manière d'envisager le problème, du relativisme facile qui a si souvent cours dans ce genre de grande comparaison intercivilisationnelle. Le déterminisme racial ou culturel n'a pas de place chez ce penseur utopique de la « Grande Unité » (datong).Nous revisiterons le dialogue de Kang Youwei avec Cicéron, Montesquieu, et Gibbon, témoignage d'une volonté d'intégrer l'histoire chinoise à l'histoire de l'humanité. Les questions qu'il soulève sont évidemment toujours d'actualité. Sa manière de les poser et les perspectives d'avenir qu'il ouvre démontrent l'ambition intellectuelle et l'imagination synthétique d'un penseur du changement dont les orientations premières découlent de l'interprétation Gongyang des Classiques.

This week on the show, we're taking a multifocal look at translation processes. Come along as we consider its tectonic, idiosyncratic, and uncharted terrains in conversations with Haun Saussy, Yoon Sun Yang, and the Co-op’s own Jeff Deutsch and Adam Sonderberg. With Rosanna Warren, Saussy discusses translation theory and translations of Baudelaire into Chinese; Yang talks about the formation of the concept of the individual in early colonial Korean literature; and Jeff and Adam take a lap around another vista difficult to put in words: the Co-op’s Front Table.

Rivi Handler-Spitz, Pauline C. Lee, and Haun Saussy have created a wonderful resource for readers, researchers, students, and teachers alike. A Book To Burn And A Book To Keep (Hidden): Selected Writings (Columbia University Press, 2016) collects and translates a range of works by Li Zhi, a fascinating and significant figure in the history of China and its literatures. His most famous books, A Book to Burn (likely first pub in 1590) and Another Book to Burn (first published posthumously in 1618), make up the focus of the work translated for this volume, which also includes other materials. In the course of our conversation we talked both about the volume and its wonderful collected contents, and also about practices of and approaches to translation more generally.

This Chicago Humanities Forum talk is given by Haun Saussy, University Professor in the Department of Comparative Literature. Professor Saussy’s interests include Classical Chinese poetry and commentary, literary theory, comparative study of oral traditions, problems with translation, and pre-20th-century media history. This talk explores oral literature. Oral literature—songs, stories, poems, jokes, epics—is presumably almost as old as human language, but interest in it is far younger. Saussy will examine when the nature of oral recitation and transmission becomes an important problem for philologists. Sponsored by the University of Chicago’s Franke Institute for the Humanities, the Chicago Humanities Forum is a series of free public talks by renowned University scholars.

University Professor Haun Saussy delivers his inaugural lecture entitled “Askance from Translation” on Friday, May 18, 2012, in Harper. Saussy examines interlinguistic exchange in such forms as loanwords, creoles, misunderstandings, and transliterations that constitute the awkward double of traditional translation. Saussy stresses that translation is not the only channel for communicative exchange and an investigation of the role of translation’s double is worthwhile in critical scholarship. Saussy was appointed University Professor in the Department of Comparative Literature and the College in July 2011. He specializes in classical Chinese poetry, the comparative study of oral traditions, and translation issues, among other subjects. His books include The Problem of a Chinese Aesthetic, Great Walls of Discourse, and new editions of modernist touchstones such as Saussure’s Course in General Linguistics and the Fenollosa/Pound essay On the Chinese Written Character as a Medium for Poetry.
