Ludic Languages of Asia: Elisabeth Kaske on Shengguantu

[schmidtmadsenj]

Dear friends and colleagues,

I am excited to announce that the Ludic Languages of Asia lecture series has now become a permanent fixture of the ASTRA research group at the Max Planck in Berlin. It will continue indefinitely with a more or less fixed schedule from semester to semester.

The next talk will be held online on Wed 24 Sep, 10:00-11:00 CET. Prof. Elizabeth Kaske from the University of Leipzig will present her work on using computational techniques to analyze a 19th-century Chinese board game (Shengguan tu 升官圖) modeling promotion in the bureaucracy of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911).

You can read the full abstract here: https://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/event/digital-approaches-qing-chinese-boardgame

Registration for the event is NOT required. You can join freely via Zoom: https://eu02web.zoom-x.de/j/68564259061

Please share this announcement with anyone in your network who might be interested in participating.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible!

Best regards,
Jacob
