DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="CID:<FFFF__=0ABBE548DFE235B58f9e8a93d@coffeebean.com>":
 Presenter: Xuan Tran (Hamburg University).\nIn the early 19th century\, th
 e Nguyễn dynasty (1802-1945) experienced a significant degree of globaliza
 tion with the presence of certain French high-ranking officials serving at
  court and the adoption of Western technologies in modernizing the country
 . The pivotal roles of interpreters in facilitating commercial and diploma
 tic transactions were highly recognized by the Nguyễn court\, particularly
  when it became involved in Western invasions during the latter half of th
 at century. This presentation aims to provide a concise overview of interp
 reter training within the Nguyễn court during the pre-colonial period from
  1802 to 1883. The purpose is not to definitively address each inquiry\, b
 ut rather to introduce the potential availability of historical sources sh
 edding light on several questions. This groundwork is intended to lay the 
 foundation for future comprehensive research endeavors.\nThe Nguyễn dynast
 y initially relied on Sinitic brush conversation and occasionally selected
  interpreters from multilingual Christian communities within the country. 
 This raises pivotal questions: When did the Nguyễn court formally commence
  the training of interpreters? Was this achieved through the establishment
  of local language schools or by sending students abroad for education? Ad
 ditionally\, how did interpreters\, equipped with their command of foreign
  languages\, contribute to the Nguyễn court's strategies for effective com
 munication with foreign counterparts\, intelligence gathering\, and the pu
 rsuit of national strengthening during the delicate process of treaty nego
 tiations under the reign of Tự Đức (1847-1883)? Did the Nguyễn interpreter
 s possess the requisite skills to adeptly handle the complexities of treat
 y negotiations and drafting during this period?\n&nbsp\;\nTo participate\,
