II International Congress of China Studies (II CIECH)
For us at the Confucius Institute, the Pacific Headquarters, the Latin and (Hispanic) Americanist Academic Network on Sinological Studies and the International Journal on Asian Studies of the University of Costa Rica, it is a pleasure to attach the official program of the II Congress International Studies on China (II CIECH): “Religiosities and literature and contemporary China and Latin America relations.”
The II CIECH will be held from September 26 to 27 in the CIMAR auditorium in the UCR Research City and on September 28, 2023 at the Pacific UCR Headquarters in Cocal, Puntarenas.
The II CIECH will have two thematic axes
I. Axis – Religiosities and literature
- Religion (beliefs, power relations, social imaginaries)
- Literature (ancient, contemporary and literary translation)
II. Axis – Contemporary China and Latin America
- Chinese economy, its relations and trade agreements
- Chinese governance, its international relations and its role in global governance
- Public policies and global cooperation policies
The purposes of the II CIECH are to analyze Chinese beliefs and literature from different perspectives, as well as China's relations with Latin America, on the one hand, with the diverse cultural expressions of beliefs, religion and literature, while , on the other hand, from its contemporary political and economic project, its international relations and its role in global governance. Firstly, a greater understanding is sought of the deconstruction of beliefs and social imaginaries of a religious or esoteric nature of the local in their contact with what has come from abroad, the cases of Confucianism and Daoism, or the sinicization of Buddhism, Islam or Christianity. Secondly, it seeks to explain the roles of China and its relationship with Latin America in the various commercial, political, sociocultural and economic processes, as well as their implications for inclusion and social equity. These problems will be addressed and enriched by the intellectual work of the researchers participating in the conferences, panels and thematic group activities.
The II CIECH is aimed at teachers of Chinese language and culture, workers in the export, commercial, political and diplomatic sectors, academics, students or the general public interested in issues related to China. In addition, it will have pre-II CIECH and post-II CIECH activities that will follow up on the different processes.
Renowned experts from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Spain, the United States, France, Italy, Mexico and Peru will participate in the II CIECH.
