SUMMARY:The Anti-rightist Campaign as Media Event: Censorship\, Political Dissent\, and Media in 1950s China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Chin Sei Jeong (Division of International Studies\, Ewha Womans University; HYI Visiting Scholar 2016-17) \nChair/discussant: Prof. Arunabh Ghosh (History\, Harvard University) \nZhang Naiqi\, the Minister of Food and democratic party leader\, was denounced as one of the three leading “rightists” during the Anti-Rightist Campaign (1957-58) in China. Accusations against Zhang by other intellectuals were actively publicized through the news media. Intriguingly\, rather than simply censoring “rightist voices\,” the CCP allowed the news media to publicize Zhang’s contestation against the accusation\, even when the CCP had the capacity to completely censor Zhang’s rebuttal. The CCP by the early 1950s monopolized the ability to construct publicity and public opinion on party policies and political affairs by gaining tight media control through nationalizing the media and establishing a relatively effective censorship system. Thus\, the CCP’s effective media control itself does not fully explain Zhang’s vulnerability to the accusation. Ultimately\, Zhang was unsuccessful in contesting the public accusation\, and was ultimately purged from most of his public positions. \nThis talk explores the role of the media in a high-profile political campaign in the early PRC\, such as the Anti-Rightist Campaign\, by emphasizing the theatrical and performative nature of the campaign. Earlier studies on political campaigns in the PRC often neglected the role of the media\, due to the assumption that the media functioned merely as a party mouthpiece. However\, major newspapers such as the People’s Daily played an important role as a public tribunal in which a particular political discourse was delegitimized and defined as “dissent.” Even when branded as “rightist\,” “anti-socialist\,” “anti-party\,” and even “counterrevolutionary\,” Zhang was allowed to publicize his own rebuttal against the accusation. Thus\, Zhang Naiqi became vulnerable to public accusation not because he was unable to publicize his own voice\, but because he was unable to negotiate with the party and the news media in constructing publicity for the case and creating his own subjectivity in public in a way that would allow him not to lose his political legitimacy. Ultimately\, this talk aims at shedding new light on the role of media in politics\, media censorship\, and political dissent in 1950s China.

SUMMARY:Legitimating State Power and Social Policies: A Comparative Study of Early Modern England\, Tokugawa Japan\, and Qing China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. He Wenkai (Division of Social Science\, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; HYI-Radcliffe Visiting Scholar)\nChair/discussant: Prof. Daniel Ziblatt (Government\, Harvard University) \nThis talk employs comparative historical analysis to examine a crucial linkage between the legitimation of state power and the adoption of social policies in three early modern states\, England (1550-1700)\, Japan (1700-1868)\, and China (1700-1895). In all three cases\, despite their distinct political institutions and histories\, states justified their monopoly of coercive force through key normative terms such as public welfare or public good. Importantly\, such terms could also be utilized by local officials\, local communities\, and even commoners to negotiate and bargain with the center over the content of social policies such as poverty and famine relief\, resolution of cross-regional conflicts of interests\, and infrastructure building. This negotiation process was fundamental to the smooth operation of early modern states with quite weak central institutional capacities. Moreover\, it also provided a limited political space for common people to participate in state politics through peaceful collective petitions.

SUMMARY:Tourism\, Homeland\, and Imaginaries: the percolating role of a Yi Jia Le family in a Sani Yi village in southwest China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Ge Rongling (Anthropology\, Xiamen University; HYI Visiting Scholar)\nChair/discussant: Prof. Michael Puett (EALC\, Harvard University) \nTourism has increasingly become a force that propels economic and social change in a wide range of ethnic villages in China. For the local ethnic minorities\, engaging in the business of tourism means not only learning new livelihood skills but also adjusting the community’s imaginaries of their own homeland to outside tourist imaginaries. This talk will focus on a case study of Yi Jia Le\, a newly emerged family-run hospitality business in Da Nuo Hei\, a Sani Yi village near the Stone Forest UNESCO Park in Yunnan\, China\, to examine its role as outside-inside imaginary circulators and percolators\, and its use of a social nexus to transfer individual homeland imaginaries into shared and collective ones. One particular Yi Jia Le family and its creative off-market exchanges/transactions with other villagers will be presented to explain how the imaginary nexus expands in the community.
