Contested geographies: old and new connections between the Middle Kingdom and its neighbours
Original language description
The aim of this one-week summer school was to introduce students into the complex web of relations that China has had with its neighbours throughout the history. It introduces students into the complex relationships that China has with its neighbours, its difficulties and intricacies. Also, a goal of this summer school is to show that, beyond the contemporary international relations of China, there is a cultural and social component in the interactions between China and its neighbours that should not be neglected. Changes of perspectives between China and its neighbours give place to reflections on "contested geographies": how space and place are constructed and elaborated by contemporary and historical actors. How "Chinese" is a Uighur laghman? Does China share political philosophies with its neighbours and, if not, how China's approach differs from the ones of its neighbours'? Is the presence of Chinese people in the neighbouring states intensifying or testing the relationship between China and its neighbours? In a way, the continuities and discontinuities of contested geographies give clues in the reflections of what "China" and "the neighbours" are supposed to be.
