國家圖書館館於2013年11月與德國萊比錫大學簽訂「臺灣漢學資源中心」(Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies)合作備忘錄隨即辦理啟用,除了整合漢學研究資源,服務海外漢學界,更朝積極深化合作、推動漢學多元發展方向前進。緣此,漢學研究中心與德國萊比錫大學圖書館,在柯若樸(Philip Clart)教授促成之下,經本館組織籌備委員會邀請漢學研究中心指導委員黃寬重教授、李奭學教授、國立政治大學謝世維教授、中央研究院民族所張珣研究員等專家學者,加上法國巴黎高等研究實踐學院(École Pratique des Hautes Études)高萬桑(Vincent Goossaert)教授共同策畫,乃有「道教 與地方宗教─典範的重思國際學術研討會」之召開。會議於2018年11月29日至12月1日在萊比錫大學圖書館舉行,此研討會亦獲中國宗教研究會(Society for the Study of Chinese Religions)、法國巴黎高等研究實踐學院、萊比錫大學東亞研究所(Institute of East Asian Studies)共同協辦,對道教與地方宗教豐碩的田野調查成果,提出現階段的學術研討。
國家圖書館漢學研究中心本年度第三場「臺灣漢學講座」,與以色列臺拉維夫大學(Tel Aviv University)合作,於12月22日邀請中央研究院近代史研究所雷祥麟研究員,以網路線上形式主講「The Dawn of Western Science as Cultural Authority in China: Tianyanlun (On Heavenly Evolution) in the Post-1895 Debate over Preserving China’s Dogma(科學文化權威的黎明《天演論》與甲午戰後的保教之辯)」。
本場「臺灣漢學講座」為國家圖書館與以色列臺拉維夫大學於今年1月簽訂「臺灣漢學資源中心(Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies,TRCCS)」合作協議後,雙方首次合作辦理的學術活動。此一場次「臺灣漢學講座」由該校東亞研究教授Asaf Goldschmidt主持。由於受全球新冠肺炎疫情影響,本場講座必須改以線上方式辦理,但仍吸引近40名聽眾上線收聽雷教授精彩的演講。演講結束後,亦有多名該校學者如Gal Mendel、Yoel Kcorneirch等人提問,其中該校著名中國研究學者Ori Sela教授更與雷祥麟教授互相提出相當深入的互動與意見交流。
第二場由艾德兒教授主講「19世紀臺灣長老教會的傳道治理」,邀請國立臺灣大學公共衛生學院張弘潔教授擔任主持人。1865年馬雅各醫生(Dr. James L. Maxwell, M. D.)受英國長老教會派遣來臺,於臺南建立了長老教會傳教的首個據點。從此以後長老教會與臺灣的宗教、政治界都有著千絲萬縷的關連性。艾教授從「治理性」(governmentality)的視角提供了解當代政治和政府現象的非規範性的分析角度,包含三個方向:(1)回到過去瞭解歷史的延續性,和在當代社會的轉化;(2)探討組織背後的基本價值,經由研究日常生活中的真實和實踐,了解當代思想和事件如何成為可能;(3)透過時間的演進,了解歷史如何前進,開展成現在的樣貌。從「治理」觀點來探討宗教,不僅探究當代機構本身,更可進一步洞悉宗教傳統的治理和自我治理,如何與其他非宗教治理場域互動和交織。
吳教授目前同時擔任臺灣大學中國文學系客座教授,他的演講的主題是從晚清到民國初年,啟蒙活動、傳教士的宣教活動與翻譯小說之間相互影響的過程。1873年,時任日本明治維新政府駐美公使森有禮(Mori Arinori,1847-1889)在紐約編著介紹日本歷史槪略、與美國近代敎育制度的英文著作 Education in Japan。1896年,該書經在華美國傳敎士林樂知(Young J. Allen,1836-1907)口譯、華人任廷旭筆述成漢譯本《文學興國策》由上海廣學會出版;引起當時中國知識分子的極大興趣,對晩淸維新思想的醞釀起了積極影響。
