SUMMARY:Nitasha Kaul - 'Inbetween' India and China: Bhutan's International Relations
DESCRIPTION:Topics:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Speaker: Nitasha Kaul\, University of WestminsterModerator: Arunabh Ghosh\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThe antagonistic relationship between India and China is marked by a high mutual threat perception\, frequent hostilities along their shared border across the Himalayas and a demonstrable ineffectiveness of big power diplomacy in bringing about conciliatory understandings in spite of increasing volumes of trade between them. As a small Himalayan state\, contemporary Bhutan is geopolitically mapped through an exhaustive and southward oriented “inbetweenness” (“inbetween India and China”) that is taken to be natural but in fact has shifted over the centuries. In this lecture\, I first put forward a subaltern geopolitical perspective to first trace a longer imperial and post-colonial history of this inbetweenness and its effect on knowledge-making about smaller states. I then present the indigenous aspects of this small state’s foreign policy\, suggesting that Bhutan’s foreign policy trajectory is important in both descriptive and analytical terms to better grasp the Indian and Chinese interests as they are negotiated by the Bhutanese\, as opposed to accounts where Bhutan is constructed as a passive placeholder of great power politics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Roselyn Hsueh - Micro-Institutional Foundations of Capitalism: Sectoral Pathways to Globalization in China\, India\, and Russia
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roselyn Hsueh\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, Temple University \nHsueh will discuss how her book’s Strategic Value Framework shows that the perceived strategic value orientation of state elites rooted in significant phases of internal and external pressures shape dominant patterns of market governance\, which vary by country and sector within country. Specifically\, Hsueh’s research demonstrates techno-security developmentalism in China has shaped bifurcated capitalism\, which governs dual-use capital- and knowledge-intensive versus labor-intensive industries. In India\, neoliberal self-reliance has determined the bifurcated liberalism\, which grounds transnationally networked high-tech versus rural\, small-scale sectors. A bifurcated oligarchy governs defense and resource-oriented versus labor-intensive sectors in Russia shaped by resource security nationalism. \nAsh Center Director Tony Saich will moderate. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/8116415902412/WN_fzVkW01gRZS2iw01RSUJcw \n\n \nMore information: https://ash.harvard.edu/event/book-talk-micro-institutional-foundations-capitalism-sectoral-pathways-globalization-china

SUMMARY:Yang Lichao - Children’s Dimensions of Poverty: Qualitative Studies in Urban China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yang Lichao. Associate Professor\, Chinese Academy of Social Management/School of Sociology\, Beijing Normal University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2021-22\nChair/discussant: Nicole Newendorp\, Lecturer on Social Studies\, Harvard University \nPoverty is multidimensional but with disagreement as to the most important dimensions. This is especially true of child poverty partly because children are seldom asked systematically to describe their experience of poverty. Fifty-five children\, aged between eight and 12 and attending two schools in Hangzhou and Beijing China\, each participated in several hours of interviews and discussion about experiencing poverty. Integrating their understanding with perspectives of parents and teachers suggests nine dimensions of poverty: four structural (material deprivation\, limiting home environment\, constrained education; restricted opportunities); three relational (violence\, negative social relations\, lack of confidence); and two core (shame; neglected agency). \nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/childrens-dimensions-of-poverty-qualitative-studies-in-urban-china/ \nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAvcuyvrzgrG9CbnLONF4qml-Nh1KMCEHBA \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mengmeng Yang - The Syntax of “NP zhi (之) VP” in Old Chinese
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mengmeng Yang\, Associate Research Professor\, Institute of Linguistics\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2021-22\nChair/discussant: C.-T. James Huang\, Professor of Linguistics\, Harvard University \nThis talk focuses on the syntax of the “NP zhi VP” (主之谓) structure (eg. 皮之不存\,毛将安附?)\, which is one of the most typical and frequently used structures in Old Chinese. It is tentatively proposed that zhi\, as a functional head\, functions as a nonfinite INFL and projects a nonfinite clause in the form of “NP zhi VP”. According to this analysis\, the syntactic difference between “NP zhi VP” and the canonical “NP VP” clause without zhi lies in the fact that the former is nonfinite whereas the latter is finite. If this analysis is on the right track\, “NP zhi VP” and its counterparts like “NP VP” in Old Chinese\, “NP de VP” (“NP 的 VP”) in Contemporary Chinese\, as well as the gerundive V-ing structure and to-infinitive in English\, can all be characterized as different instantiations of the abstract “NP F VP” structure (F=functional category). They differ from each other only in different values of F. \nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/the-syntax-of-np-zhi-%e4%b9%8b-vp-in-old-chinese/ \nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEvdeGrqTguH9xse7Os4eq446EqAXSItXWI \n

SUMMARY:Chih-ming Wang - Re-Articulations: Foreign Literature Studies in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Chih-ming Wang\, Associate Research Fellow\, Institute of European and American Studies\, Academia Sinica; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2021-22\nChair/discussant: David Wang\, Edward C. Henderson Professor of Chinese Literature\, Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \nThis talk revisits the institutional and intellectual history of foreign literature studies in Taiwan through the lenses of colonial modernity and traveling theory. It contends that the discipline of foreign literature studies is fundamentally a project of re-articulation—not only to introduce the Western canon in local contexts\, but moreover to resignify it in the global/local nexus for social political transformations. It is particularly wedded to the formation of the Taiwan-China division born out of the civil war and Cold War contexts in 1949. To explain the political meanings of its discipline formations\, I will focus on two examples: CT Hsia’s literary modernism as a form of anti-Romanticism in the Cold War era and the translation of subjectivity as zhutixing in the post-martial law Taiwan. Whereas Hsia in the 1950s intended literary criticism to be a means for political rectification in modern China\, the translingual birth of zhutixing in the 1990s literalized the power of theory in the making of postcolonial Taiwan. \nA Harvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEucOCpqTwiEtX3ewPRvf8kfFeqWZvmZKl7 \nMore information: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/rearticulations-foreign-literature-studies-in-taiwan/

SUMMARY:Workers and Change in China: Resistance\, Repression\, Responsiveness
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nManfred Elfstrom\, Assistant Professor of Political Science\, University of British Columbia.\nYao Li\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Sociology and Criminology and Law\, University of Florida \nModerator: Anthony Saich\, Director\, Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation; Daewoo Professor of International Affairs\, Harvard Kennedy School of Government \nStrikes\, protests\, and riots by Chinese workers have been rising over the past decade. The state has addressed a number of grievances\, yet has also come down increasingly hard on civil society groups pushing for reform. Why are these two seemingly clashing developments occurring simultaneously? Manfred Elfstrom uses extensive fieldwork and statistical analysis to examine both the causes and consequences of protest. The book adopts a holistic approach\, encompassing national trends in worker–state relations\, local policymaking processes and the dilemmas of individual officials and activists. Instead of taking sides in the old debate over whether non-democracies like China’s are on the verge of collapse or have instead found ways of maintaining their power indefinitely\, it explores the daily evolution of autocratic rule. While providing a uniquely comprehensive picture of change in China\, this important study proposes a new model of bottom-up change within authoritarian systems more generally. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/9016334418370/WN_kJ-DOLoORpel9R4nqRf0sg

SUMMARY:Yangyang Cheng - Those Who Fall Behind Get Beaten Up: Can Science Build a Strong China?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yangyang Cheng\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Yale Law School; Columnist at SupChina. \nFrom the last Chinese empire to the current People’s Republic\, generations of politicians and intellectuals have sought advanced science and technology to build a strong China. They pondered the relationship between East and West\, tradition and modernity\, national allegiance and cosmopolitan ideals. Their efforts have shaped the path of China’s development and mapped the contours of Chinese identity. \nIn this talk\, I will trace their accomplishments and regrets\, as well as lessons for today\, through the lives of two men from my hometown of Hefei\, born a century apart. One was late Qing’s most revered statesman. The other is one of the first two Nobel laureates from China. As the role of science and technology becomes one of the most contentious issues in U.S.-China relations\, their stories teach about the forces that propelled China’s rise\, the ways lives can be squeezed by geopolitics\, and the risks of using science for state power. \nYangyang Cheng is a particle physicist and essayist. Her writings have appeared in The New York Times\, MIT Technology Review\, and ChinaFile\, among other publications. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Yale Law School and a columnist at SupChina.| \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://asiacenter.harvard.edu/events/those-who-fallbehind-get-beaten-up-can-science-build-a-strong-china-1454 \nPart of the Science and Technology in Asia Seminar Series
