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: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

SUMMARY:Liu Qing - How the Idea of Tianxia Can Help Us to Reimagine the Global Order
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Liu Qing\, Zijiang Distinguished Professor\, East China Normal University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24 \n\n\n\nDiscussant: Peter K. Bol\, Charles H. Carswell Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nWith the ascent of China on the global stage\, traditional Chinese thoughts\, particularly Confucianism\, have experienced a resurgence. Over the past two decades\, the concept of “Tianxia” (All Under Heaven) has garnered significant interest. This research delves into the potential contributions of Tianxia to contemporary political thought\, with a focus on normative theory. It examines whether this concept can aid in mitigating ultranationalism in our globalized era and foster a novel global perspective that encourages peaceful coexistence\, mutual respect\, and shared progress among nations. The presentation is structured into two main sections. The first section offers a critical examination of recent discussions surrounding Tianxia\, highlighting its contemporary relevance as intellectual inspirations while acknowledging its inherent limitations. The second section deals with the challenges posed by cultural diversity in establishing foundational norms for a post-hegemonic world order. It emphasizes the need for a new global vision that transcends both the Sinocentrism associated with Tianxia and the Eurocentrism prevalent in traditional cosmopolitanism\, and makes an argument in advocating for a new cosmopolitanism centered around the concept of “transcultural universality.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Julie Tian Miao - State Inc. And Asian Diasporas in Knowledge Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Julie Tian Miao\, Associate Professor in Property and Economic Development\, University of Melbourne; Visiting Scholar\, Harvard University Asia Center  \n\n\n\nModerator: Anthony J. Saich\, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs; Director\, Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia\, Harvard Kennedy School \n\n\n\nDrawing insights from three relevant yet largely separated fields of scholarship on diaspora\, science policies\, and (extra-)territorial development\, Professor Julie Miao will conceptualize and assess how Asian tech diasporas experience knowledge space as an assemblage of ‘ethnoscape’ and ‘ideoscape’ – terms used by Appadurai\, 1990 to chart the global landscapes of modernity. Focusing on Chinese\, Japanese\, and Korean diasporas working in biotech and related sectors in the Boston Metropolitan area\, her study used ethnography and thick descriptions to examine the forming of Asian diasporas’ lived and worked experience as part of the ethnoscape and how it is shaping and shaped by the ideoscape of their homeland. Emerging evidence shows that inter-generation differences in the forming and evolving of an ethnoscape are much stronger than the inter-nationality differences; the stereotypical views about Asia and Asian people are as much self-reinforced as they are externally imposed. Most Asian tech diaspora members aim to embed themselves in the host country’s science and technology landscape\, and it is the United States’ extraterritorial and national security policies that are exerting a far more significant impact on their career projections and ambitions compared to their homeland. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Ma Ran - Un/bounding the Great Wall: Sino-Japanese Documentary Media Connections in the Long 1980s
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ma Ran\,  Associate Professor\, Cultural Studies and Screen Studies\, Nagoya University\, Japan; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24 \n\n\n\nChair: Jie Li\, Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nSpanning the late 1970s and early 1990s\, a series of coproduced documentaries featuring Japanese entities in consistent partnership with China Central Television (CCTV)\, have emerged. Emblematic of the Sino-Japanese “techno-friendship\,” these projects launched spectacular trans-China voyages undertaken by transnational film and television teams along the routes and territories across the Silk Road\, the Yangtze River\, and the Yellow River. This talk highlights the Great Wall project\, encompassing CCTV’s Wang Changcheng (Odyssey of the Great Wall) and Tokyo Broadcasting System Television (TBS)’s Banri no chōjō (the Great Wall); both aired in 1991. \n\n\n\nThese projects arguably constitute an epistemological-technological nexus wherein the CCTV crews explore “what could be documentary(-making)” through/out the location shooting; leveraging the nexus\, the Japanese teams gain privileged access to locations and infrastructural networks\, enabling them to configure a multilayered Sino-fantasy\, underpinned by documentary epistephilia toward Chinese histories\, cultural heritages\, and post-Cultural Revolution conditions of the PRC. \n\n\n\nI contemplate the Great Wall project’s dis/continuation of the techno-friendship mode. CCTV and TBS have used their journeys along the Great Wall territories to work through disparate landscape-affective assemblages while negotiating East Asian (post-)Cold War geopolitics. While the Sino-fantasy of Banri no chōjō is drastically reterritorialized by its studio-staged reportage on the Tiananmen Incident\, Wang Changcheng reinvents a self-scrutinizing gaze upon “China” in the aftermath of Tian’anmen\, innovatively realigning the political aesthetics of documentary (jilupian). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Daniel H. Rosen - Spillover Implications of a China Growing 0-2%
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Daniel H. Rosen\, Founding Partner\, Rhodium Group \n\n\n\nEducators\, policymakers and business leaders need to decide how to respond to the implications of China’s economic slowdown. Options have not been adequately considered because the extent of the slowdown has not been understood and acknowledged. Even today international organizations\, governments\, and prominent public intellectuals endorse rosy assumptions that would not be taken seriously elsewhere. It’s time to talk about the slow growth era in China. To set the table for that\, the structural economic problems that reduce China’s potential growth to 0-2% must be recognized.  \n\n\n\nLunch will be served. It is being co-sponsored by the Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. \n\n\n\nAlso via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Sophie Ling-chia Wei - A Sage Embellished with Elements of “Chinoiserie”: The Making of Jesus in the Jesuit Figurist Translations of Chinese Classics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sophie Ling-chia Wei\, Associate Professor\, Department of Translation\, Chinese University of Hong Kong; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Chair/Discussant: James Robson\, James C. Kralik and Yunli Lou Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nWhen Christianity was introduced to China in the Ming and Qing dynasties\, translations of sacred texts and stories of biblical figures were employed for the purpose of proselytization. The Jesuit Figurists’ translations took on lives of their own\, going on to create impact through new and interesting parallels between Chinese mythological figures and the image of Jesus Christ. The making of Jesus in the hands of the Jesuit Figurists revealed their intention of establishing a communal space between Christianity and Chinese history and culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
