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: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: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: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: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:Shih-Diing Liu - The Political Life of Affective Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Shih-Diing Liu\, Professor\, Department of Communication\, University of MacauChair/Discussant: Elizabeth J. Perry\, Henry Rosovsky Professor Of Government\, Harvard University; Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute \n\n\n\nChina is saturated with complex emotions. Although emotions are constitutive in Chinese public culture\, their implications are poorly understood. In this presentation\, I aim to illuminate how and why emotions and affect open up new avenues for understanding the dynamics\, struggles and tensions in contemporary Chinese society and politics. This discussion revolves around the analytical foundation for our new book\, Affective Spaces: The Cultural Politics of Emotion in China (Edinburgh University Press\, co-authored with Wei Shi). I will contextualize the concept of affective space\, explaining why it provides a unique lens for exploring topics such as emotional mobilization\, psychoanalysis of nationalism and nativism\, workers’ embodied fear\, digital affective publics\, and the evolving state-society relations with distinct Chinese characteristics. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Shih-Diing Liu is Professor of Communication and Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies\, University of Macau. His research has appeared in Positions: Asia Critique\, Third World Quarterly\, Social Movement Studies\, and New Left Review. He is the author of The Politics of People: Protest Cultures in China (State University of New York Press\, 2019). \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/the-political-life-of-affective-spaces/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Generative AI for Chinese Studies - Advanced Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDigital China Initiative is organizing two workshops on how to apply generative AI for Chinese studies. The workshop on 5 April will cover how to use open-source large language models on local devices\, query through APIs\, and basic concepts of retrieval augment generation. \n\n\n\nThe workshops will be limited to 45 attendees each to ensure enough space and a quality learning environment. The following order of preference will apply: graduate students and faculty\, undergraduate students\, and Harvard affiliates. \n\n\n\nIn the advanced workshop\, we will try out open-source large language models such as Qwen and Taiwan LLM. We will show how to access them through APIs. The workshop also covers an overview of retrieval augment generation that can offer more precise and domain-specific information. For these tasks\, attendees may need a laptop with 16GB of ram and at least 10 GB of SSD storage. They also have to install some software before attending the workshop. More information will be provided after enrollment confirmation.Registration: https://forms.office.com/r/N9eRjE0RUL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Jedidiah Korncke - Thomas Jefferson\, Carsun Chang and A Lost Era of U.S.-China Constitutional Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jedidiah Kroncke\, Associate Professor of Law\, University of Hong Kong \n\n\n\nProfessor Kroncke’s study recovers a lost era of Sino-American constitutional imagination surrounding the drafting of the 1946 Republic of China Constitution. It examines the transnational dynamics that led the Constitution’s initial drafter\, Carsun Chang\, to travel to the U.S. in 1945 to ostensibly study the ideas of Thomas Jefferson then ascendant in New Deal constitutional rhetoric. \n\n\n\nThis study recontextualizes Chang’s life as one of China’s new generation of cosmopolitan intellectuals moving between its contentious post-dynastic politics and the institutions of the post-World War II international legal order. Chang’s invitation by the Roosevelt Administration involved many little known but determinative turns\, including the role of a subset of Truman Administration officials actively enamored with Jefferson’s own study of Confucianism. \n\n\n\nTransnationalizing our understanding of the 1946 Constitution helps reveal how the geopolitics of the Chinese Civil War intersected with the presumed projection of American constitutional values increasingly embedded in American internationalism. The fallout from the drafting process also illuminates the transition of America from a global symbol of constitutional revolution to a symbol of global racial empire. Recapturing this era has implications for originalist-styled constitutional arguments made in contemporary Taiwan\, as well as evaluating the international dimensions of Jefferson’s deeply problematic domestic legacy. \n\n\n\nDr. Jedidiah Kroncke is an associate professor of law at the University of Hong Kong\, where he teaches trust law and the law of cooperative enterprises\, and serves as Director of Early Career Research and Director of the Global Academic Fellows program. Previously\, he was a professor at FGV Sao Paulo School of Law and Senior Research Fellow at the East Asian Legal Studies program at Harvard Law School. Professor Kroncke’s research centers on international legal history and the comparative study of alternative labor and property institutions. His first book\, The Futility of Law and Development: China and the Dangers of Exporting American Law (Oxford University Press 2016)\, explores the role of U.S.-China relations in the formation of modern American legal internationalism and the decline of American legal comparativism. Other publications have addressed law and development\, authoritarian law and legal ethics\, the history of international law\, and comparative law and political economy. He received a B.A. from the University of California Berkeley\, a J.D. from Yale Law School\, and a Ph.D. in Social and Cultural Anthropology from UC Berkeley\, and then served as the HLS Berger-Howe Legal History Fellow\, NYU Golieb Fellow in Legal History\, and Ruebhausen Fellow in Law at Yale Law. \n\n\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
