DESCRIPTION:zoom registration\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Mark Baker\, Lecturer (Assistant Professor) of East Asian History at the University of Manchester\, UK. Moderator: Xiang Zhou\, Professor of Sociology\, Harvard University  \n\n\n\nPivot of China (Harvard Asia Center\, 2024) examines spatial inequality across China’s twentieth century and beyond. It argues that by focusing on certain kinds of places\, people and infrastructures\, the development strategies of successive Chinese states exacerbated inequality in multiple dimensions: rural-urban\, inter-city\, and inter-regional. Pivot of China explores this story through the city of Zhengzhou – an unheralded inland regional center\, ‘pivot’ not just of China’s railroad network but also between the winners and losers of modern China’s spatial politics.  \n\n\n\nOnline via Zoom webinar. To join\, register here.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Heejung Seo-Reich — The Emergence of the Aesthetic Subject in Zhuangzi
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Heejung Seo-Reich\, Associate Professor\, School of International Studies\, Sun Yat-Sen University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2024-25Chair/Discussant: Michael Puett\, Walter C. Klein Professor of Chinese History and Anthropology; Director\, Asia Center\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nWhat is East Asian aesthetics? In the study of aesthetics\, there has been considerable doubt about the relevance of academic discussions to the East Asian context. However\, this study assumes that the aesthetic thinking in East and West is fundamentally interconnected and based on common human emotions. I will endeavor to find a prototype of the aesthetic subject—a figure that represents this emotionally driven perspective in the Zhuangzi. To facilitate this\, I divide the subjects depicted in the Zhuangzi into three different types: wo (我)\, ou (耦)\, and wu (吾). By examining the unique characteristics of these subjects through their interactions with the things around them\, we can better understand the aesthetic subject in the Zhuangzi as one that transcends cognitive limitations by redefining the relationships between subject and things. This approach not only enriches our understanding of East Asian aesthetics\, but also emphasizes the universal nature of human emotional experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Yi-Chieh Lin — AI Meets Journalism: Rethinking Ethics\, Efficiency\, and Integrity in Taiwanese Newsrooms
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yi-Chieh Lin\,  Associate Professor\, Department of Journalism\, National Chengchi University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2024-25Chair/Discussant: John P. Wihbey\, Associate Professor\, Media Innovation and Technology\, Northeastern University \n\n\n\nThis study explores journalists’ perspectives on the perils and possibilities of using generative AI tools in Taiwanese newsrooms\, comparing specific applications across news reporting processes in Taiwan and the United States. Through semi-structured interviews with Taiwanese journalists\, the talk examines how AI reshapes journalistic practices\, focusing on its impact on efficiency\, ethics\, organizational culture\, and audience engagement. \n\n\n\nDrawing on journalism ethics as a conceptual framework\, it addresses opportunities and challenges such as maintaining editorial oversight\, mitigating bias\, and establishing boundaries for AI’s role in journalistic decision-making. For instance\, some Taiwanese organizations enforce strict human verification for AI-generated content and implement safeguards to prevent the misuse of sensitive data. \n\n\n\nThis research further explores how AI adoption influences media brands\, deepens audience understanding\, and reshapes the relationship between technology and journalistic integrity. This ongoing study underscores the need for cautious yet innovative approaches to generative AI\, balancing its transformative potential with ethical accountability. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
