An International Conference co-hosted by Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) & the Global Forum for Civic Affairs (GFCA)
IN THE WINTER OF 1972, U.S. PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON VENTURED TO CHINA on what was called at the time a “journey for peace.” The People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the United States of America (USA) had been adversaries for decades, yet the PRC and USA agreed to seek peace in the hope of calming Cold War tensions. While PRC Chairman Mao hosted President Nixon in Beijing, where teams of American and Chinese diplomats hammered out the details of an agreement, the world was first alerted to their partnership via a February 28 announcement called the “Shanghai Communiqué.” Ever since, U.S.-China relations have hinged in part on the terms of the Shanghai Communiqué. To honor that moment in our international relations, and to address the possible futures of our entwined fates, we invite scholars from around the world to join us at The Shanghai Dialogue. An international conference co-hosted by GFCA and SISU, the Dialogue will be held in the SISU International Education Center, on the Songjiang campus of SISU, in Shanghai, China.
The Shanghai Dialogue will feature scholars from across the globe addressing questions about communication, globalization, and urbanization. We will host speeches, roundtables, working groups, and video screenings on June 25 and 26, 2022. To add structure to our conversations, the Dialogue will be organized along three thematic tracks, including:
SOFT POWER & GLOBAL COMMUNICATION
软实力与全球通讯
In the Internet Age, national power is projected via memes, likes, and shares. Communication is more important than ever for sharing national visions, collective imaginings, and future hopes. Presentations in this track will focus on how China, the United States, and others strive to use “soft power” to shape international relations.
在互联网时代，国家权力是通过模因、喜欢和分享来投射的。交流对于分享国家愿景、集体想象和未来希望比以往任何时候都更加重要。本专题的演讲将重点关注中国、美国和其他国家如何努力利用“软实力”塑造国际关系。
NEW MEDIA AND THE DILEMMAS OF PUBLIC DISCOURSE
新媒体与公共话语的困境
Counter to technophile dreams, the Internet has become a hive of disinformation, exploding norms of reason and citizenship via bursts of confusion and anger. Presentations in this track will focus on how civic discourse can survive (or not) in the blizzard of junk news, rumor bombs, alternative facts, and disinformation.
与技术爱好者的梦想相反，互联网已成为虚假信息的蜂巢，通过混乱和愤怒的爆发，使理性和公民的规范爆炸。本曲目中的演讲将重点关注公民话语如何在垃圾新闻、谣言炸弹、替代事实和虚假信息的暴风雪中生存（或不生存）。
GLOBAL CITIES AND THE FUTURES OF URBAN COMMUNICATION
全球城市和城市通信的未来
Once called “the Pearl of the Orient,” Shanghai has served for almost 200 years as the gateway to China, as one of the world’s first truly cosmopolitan cities, and as the epicenter of innovations in markets, culture, and media. Presentations in this track will address how Shanghai foreshadows the future of urban development and cosmopolitan communication. To enable international perspectives, we encourage submissions that compare Shanghai with other leading spaces of urban communication. .
上海曾被称为“东方之珠”，近 200 年来一直是中国的门户，是世界上第一个真正的国际大都市，也是市场、文化和媒体创新的中心。本专题的演讲将探讨上海如何预示城市发展和国际化交流的未来。为了实现国际视野，我们鼓励提交将上海与其他领先的城市交流空间进行比较的作品。Author Submission
