由宓：放慢的丝绸之路，网络以及去民族主义的想象

时间：2017年3月28日 周二 19:00

地点：@IFP Studio - 激发研究所

北京东城区黑芝麻胡同13号四合院（进院左手边）

这场讲座将主要呈现学者由宓对丝绸之路的长期研究，其中包括从历史回顾的角度以及从亚洲当代地缘政治的角度解读贸易和文化转移。一种对渴望的透析既带有历史纵深感，又具有后民主主义的视角，与中世纪去中心化的贸易网络以及晚期资本主义网络并行。从这个角度，由宓将以艺术家Royce Ng的最新作品为例，以跨国主义原则，以及日本统治者岸信介在那里进行的融合资本主义体系的政治实践，一场在后来重塑或影响了日本、韩国、东南亚、甚至中国战后经济和政治的政治实践为依据探索日本傀儡政权满洲国。以此为设想，她的研究考察了丝绸之路的地理身体以及由法国无政府主义地理学家Élisée Reclus设想的一种“放慢的丝绸之路”的可能性。它不仅仅是将人类投射到地理时代，与京都学派思想家的建议不同，这更是一个把我们自己注入地理运动中的诉求。

Mi You: Slow Silk Road, Networks and Denationalistic Imaginaries

Time:  2017 March 28th, Tuesday, 19:00

Location: @IFP Studio - Institute for Provocation, 13, Heizhima Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing

The talk centers on Mi You’s long-term research dedicated to the silkroads,  which encompasses as much historical review of trade and cultural transfers, as contemporary geopolitics in Asia. An analytical lens of desire with a deep-historical, yet post-nationalistic perspective treads together both medieval decentralized trade networks and late capitalistic networks. Under this light,  Mi will examine the recent work of Royce Ng exploring Japanese puppet regime Manchukuo based on transnationalist principle and the syncretic capitalistic system Japanese governor Nobusuke Kishi exercised there, which has later reshaped or influenced post-war economy and politics of Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and eventually China. With a speculative leap, her research looks into the geobody of the silk roads and the possibility of a ‘slower Silk Road’, envisioned by French anarchist geographer Élisée Reclus. More than projecting the human into geological times, it is a call for letting the geo-movements infuse ourselves, not unlike the proposal of Kyoto School thinkers.
