SUMMARY:Karine Chemla - Historiography and History of Mathematical Symbolism: A View from Chinese Sources
DESCRIPTION:Register for Zoom session\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:  Karine Chemla\, Director of Research\, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique \n\n\n\nThe common historiography of mathematical symbolism holds that it is a “European invention.” This view has been disputed based on Arabic\, Sanskrit and Chinese sources. These challenges to the mainstream historiography\, however\, tacitly accept the common understanding of what mathematical symbolism means. In this talk\, I question how we commonly conceive of mathematical symbolism\, suggesting that this conception was essential to the claim of its “Europeanness.” I further argue that sources from the ancient world help us understand mathematical symbolism better\, showing that it has a much longer and more global history than previously thought. \n\n\n\nPart of the Science and Technology in Asia series.

SUMMARY:Zhang Jing — A Modernization Marching to Revolution: Science\, Technology\, and Diplomacy in Mao’s China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zhang Jing\, Associate Professor\, Department of History\, Peking University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2024-25Chair/Discussant\, Arunabh Ghosh\, Associate Professor of History\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nAs a set of terms\, “modernization” and its earlier discursive forms\, such as “industrialization” and “Westernization\,” have been continuously invoked by historical actors and historians throughout over a century of Chinese history\, particularly during different historical stages such as the armed revolution\, socialist revolution and construction\, and the reform and opening up under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This discursive phenomenon runs through various events in China’s recent century-long history\, all referred to as “revolutions.” These include a series of continuous struggles led by the CCP against “colonialism\,” “imperialism\,” “feudalism\,” “capitalism\,” “bureaucratism\,” and “liberalism.” The invocation of the term “modernization” by CCP leaders often served as a goal for the revolution to achieve or as a vision of construction after revolutionary success\, aimed at rallying and inspiring revolutionary actions. The only notable exception largely occurred between 1966 and 1975. The modernization project initiated by Mao Zedong during the socialist revolution (1949-1956)\, which underwent a decade of exploration in socialist construction (1956-1966)\, ultimately devolved into the self-destructive and chaotic “Cultural Revolution” in 1966. To address the issue of this “modernization paradox” in the Maoist era\, Professor Zhang will attempt to establish an interpretive framework from the perspective of discursive practice and state-building. Through a critical analysis of the relationship between discourse\, knowledge\, and power\, she will examine the participation of discourse in state-building practices in the fields of science\, technology\, and diplomacy during the Maoist period. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Jim Suk-Fong (Theodora) - Divine Saving in Greek and Chinese Polytheism
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jim Suk-Fong (Theodora)\, Associate Professor\, Ancient Greek History\, The University of Nottingham; HYI Library Research Scholar\, 2024Chair/Discussant: Michael Puett\, Walter C. Klein Professor of Chinese History and Anthropology; Director\, Asia Center\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nContrary to the tendency to study ancient Mediterranean religions in isolation from religions in the Far East\, this project brings together for the first time two world polytheistic systems: ancient Greece and premodern China. It embraces Marcel Detienne’s call to ‘compare the incomparable’. In this seminar I will share the findings on one aspect of this project: divine saving. The central question is: how did worshippers in two major polytheistic traditions imagine\, experience\, and represent the divine saving as they confronted the unknown and unknowable? I will look at the wide-ranging power of the gods in the Greek and Chinese pantheons on the one hand\, and worshippers’ religious beliefs\, practices and experience of worshippers on the other. I hope also to shed light on the Greek and Chinese religious worldviews and perceptions of their gods\, and ultimately to open up new questions for the study of both fields. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Michael C. Davis — Freedom Undone: The Assault on Liberal Values and Institutions in Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Michael Davis\, Global Fellow\, Wilson Center; Senior Research Scholar\, Weatherhead East Asia Institute; Professor of Law and International Affairs\, O.P. Jindal Global University. Discussant: Dennis Kwok\, Partner\, Elliott Kwok Levine Jaroslaw Neils LLP \n\n\n\nWhat happens when liberal constitutional institutions guaranteeing basic freedoms are undone? Can Freedom survive the loss of separation of powers with the associated legal and political accountability? The Chinese Communist Party\, as a core part of its national security agenda\, has been at the forefront in its disdain for liberal institutions and promoting illiberal alternatives. This disdain placed Hong Kong’s people on the frontlines of the global struggle for freedom. Since its handover from Britain\, the city has felt the brunt of China’s illiberal agenda. In 2019 this took on greater intensity with an aggressive police crackdown on protesters\, quickly followed in 2020 by Beijing’s imposition of a National Security Law\, in 2021 by the imposition of a patriots only electoral system and in 2024 by enactment of local national security legislation. Thousands have been jailed and a city famous for vigorous protests has been silenced. Professor Michael C. Davis\, who taught human rights in the city for decades\, takes us on the constitutional journey of both the city’s vigorous defense of freedom and its repressive undoing—a painful loss for Hong Kong and a lesson for the world. Discussion can be expected to engage the still ongoing crisis in Hong Kong and the implications of the wider liberal/illiberal debate.Open to Harvard ID holders. Registration required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Asia Beyond Borders: Transnational Activist Connections from Sun and Ho's Day to this Era of Lennon Walls and Three-Finger Salutes 
DESCRIPTION:RSVP \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Jeffrey Wasserstrom\, Chancellor’s Professor of History at the University of California\, Irvine Moderator: James Robson\, James C. Kralik and Yunli Lou Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations; Harvard College Professor; Director\, Harvar-Yenching Institute  \n\n\n\nIn-person event. RSVP appreciated.  \n\n\n\nThis presentation will look at some of the various ways that activists fighting for change in different parts of Asia have learned from and collaborated with one another during the last century and more. The presenter will draw on work he has done throughout a career that began with a dissertation on Shanghai student protests of the first half of the 1900s\, included a ten-year stint as Editor of the Journal of Asian Studies\, and has recently found him focusing on the ties between twenty-first-century youth movements in Hong Kong and Bangkok. One of his central arguments will be that for over a century repertoires of resistance in Asia have been flowing across not just the divisions between individual countries but also those that scholars often use to draw distinctions between multi-country regions within Asia. Another will be that even in this era of rapid global flows\, even young activists versed in digital media who sometimes draw inspiration from things happening in and symbols associated with lands on the other side of the planet are often especially interested in and influenced by things taking place relatively nearby.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Sung Eun Kim - Circumventing the Liberal Order: Protectionism with Chinese Characteristics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sung Eun Kim\, Associate Professor\, Department of Political Science and International Relations\, Korea University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2024-25Chair/Discussant: Stephen Chaudoin\, Assistant Professor\, Government\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThis talk will explore how China navigates its position as a rising power within the U.S.-led liberal economic order by employing veiled protectionist measures that align with international rules while advancing its domestic interests. As a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO)\, China faces the challenge of balancing its reputation as a responsible global actor with the need to protect its industries. This talk will examine China’s strategic use of opaque protectionist tools such as media control\, health and safety standards\, and selective regulatory enforcement to promote domestic industry growth while avoiding direct confrontation with global trade institutions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Chang-Min Yu — The Use of the Modern and Taiwanese Film History
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Chang-Min Yu\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures\, National Taiwan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2024-25Chair/Discussant: Alexander Zahlten\, Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThis talk will address a fundamental issue in the writing of film history: how do we articulate the relationship between modernity/modernization and film history without determination? That is to say\, is it possible to formulate this relationship as a germinating condition for film stylistics in which filmmakers can be seen as making meaningful choices? I propose the use of the modern as a means to redress the often-simplified\, unidirectional causality of modernity/modernization in global film historiography. My manuscript-in-progress\, Modernism Disclaimed: Taiwanese Film Historiography Before City of Sadness\, will be an exhibit in thinking along with mid-century Taiwanese intellectuals about the urgency of a modern cinema on the island of Formosa. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
