SUMMARY:Robert Ross: ​Wedge Strategies and Alliance Politics: Chinese Coercion and the U.S.-Philippine Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Robert S. Ross\, Professor of Political Science\, Boston CollegeModerator: James Robson\, James C. Kralik\, and Yunli Lou Professor\, Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations; Harvard College Professor; Victor and William Fung Director\, Asia Center\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThis talk examines China’s wedge strategy toward the U.S.-Philippine alliance during the presidency of Benigno Aquino III. Although the Philippine-China sovereignty dispute was the proximate cause of Chinese coercion\, it does not explain Chinese policy. Chinese policy evolution and the writings of Chinese scholars and think-tank analysts make clear that China’s foremost concern was that the Philippine’s defense cooperation with the United States in support of its sovereignty claims contributed to the U.S. “pivot” to Asia and to U.S. “containment” of China. China used its military and economic capabilities to undermine Philippine confidence in U.S. support and to weaken the Philippine economy\, thus driving a wedge between the Philippines and the United States and undermining the U.S. challenge to Chinese security. After the Philippines adjusted it alignment between China and the United States\, China eased its coercion and it used economic “rewards” to consolidate Philippine realignment. The talk concludes with a brief discussion of the implications of the Marcos\, Jr.\, presidency for U.S.-China competition and regional affairs. \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Beijing Olympiad: First Time as Mass Spectacle\, Second Time as Digital Ornament
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cassandra Xin Guan\, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow\, MIT Center for Art\, Science & Technology \n\n\n\nThe opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics was notable for its spectacular deployment of the mass human ornament. In 2022\, a second Olympic opening ceremony took place amidst a global pandemic and rising geopolitical tension between China and the US. This time around the hot and noisy masses that thrilled American television viewers with their coordinated precision have vanished from the scene of representation. In documentations of the two events: one hot\, one cold; one crowded\, one empty; one bursting with life\, one eerily devoid of humanity—we see a thermal-aesthetic inversion that assigns representational values to an under-theorized historical interval between China’s first and second Olympic Games. This talk will tarry with the chronotopic form of this interval\, with\, that is\, the time-space of historical figuration. Drawing attention to the emergence of a nationalist imaginary determined by the paradox of automation\, I ask what global forces are responsible for the cooling of the mass spectacle’s hot noise\, and what happens to the efficacy of the vitalized icon when the masses exit the mass ornament? \n\n\n\nCassandra Xin Guan is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at The MIT Center for Art\, Science & Technology. She holds a PhD in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University and was Dean’s Faculty Fellow in the Program of Science\, Technology\, Society (STS). She is currently working on two books in tandem: “Maladaptive Media: ‘Life’ and Other Works of Animation” and “Imagine There’s No Human: China in Animation.” Her writings have appeared in October\, Screen\, and Critical Inquiry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
