SUMMARY:Yan Wenjie - Fake News as a Socio-political-psychological Phenomenon: Evidence from China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yan Wenjie\, Professor\, Political Communication\, Beijing Normal University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Chair/Discussant: Matthew Baum\, Marvin Kalb Professor Of Global Communications and Professor Of Public Policy\, Harvard Kennedy School; Department of Government\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThe spread of online falsity is one of the most pressing global challenges of the day. It is detrimental to the proper functioning of a society\, because it blocks quality information\, erodes social trust\, and breeds group conflicts. It is also a serious concern in China. With hundreds of millions of users\, Chinese social media have been awash with unfiltered misinformation. How gullible are people to misinformation on social media? What are the factors that may contribute to their patterns of veracity judgment and behavioral tendencies? What are the preventative measures at our disposal we might possibly use as social interventions? This talk is to provide some initial answers to these questions by presenting results from a set of survey experiments on samples of Chinese Internet users. By drawing upon empirical evidence from a non-Western population\, this talk is aimed to shed further light on our understanding of false news. \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/fake-news-as-a-socio-political-psychological-phenomenon-evidence-from-china/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Wei Ran - Latin American Travelers and Revolutionary China in the Global 1960s: A Story of (Dis)encounters
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wei Ran\,  Associate Professor\, Institute of Foreign Literature\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Discussant: Mariano Siskind\, Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures and of Comparative Literature\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nIn the Global 1960s\, many Latin American leading intellectuals\, such as Pablo Neruda\, José Venturelli\, Eduardo Galeano and Ricardo Piglia\, visited Maoist China\, which was regarded as an alternative to Soviet Union and Cuba’s bureaucratic systems. This talk tries to reconstruct the experiences of their (dis)encounters with revolutionary China in the 1960-70s\, though travelogues\, memoirs\, documentaries\, archival records\, and contemporary novels. I will appropriate Contemporary Colombian novelist Juan Gabriel Vásquez’s Volver la vista atrás (2020) as Ariadne’s thread to sketch several Latin American travelers’ trajectories in Revolutionary China’s labyrinth. Key Latin American travelers’ experiences not merely synergistically created a Chinese version of Tricontinentalism and global solidarity\, but rather creatively modified some of the uniform discourses of Mao Zedong’s thought on literature and culture into centrifugal and transgressive critique. My central argument is that the pioneering literary and cultural creativity of the cross-border Latin American travelers led the way in the conceptualization of socialist cosmopolitanism\, rather than economic and trade cooperation in the 1960-70s. After five decades of the global 1960s\, facing Latin American postmemory archives\, such as Volver la vista atrás\, this talk\, by challenging fixed epistemological patterns\, seeks to suggest new perspectives towards the transnational utopian ruins. \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/latin-american-travelers-and-revolutionary-china-in-the-global-1960s-a-story-of-disencounters/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
