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

SUMMARY:Yan Fei - Factions in Flux: Intergroup Collaboration and Conflict in the Red Guard Movement
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yan Fei\, Associate Professor\, Sociology\, Tsinghua University; HYI-Radcliffe Institute Joint Fellow\, 2023-24Discussant: Yuhua Wang\, Professor of Government\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nStudents of social movements and collective action have traditionally concentrated on the structural factors influencing group formation during social mobilization. This conventional model depicts members of opposing factions as pursuing collective interests that are predetermined by their existing social positions\, leading to well-defined political alliances with fixed objectives and unwavering identities. However\, during periods of radical instability\, political ambiguity and contingency often disrupt the rigidity of these established models of mobilization. Drawing from a detailed examination of popular uprisings and factional contention in Guangzhou City and Haifeng County during the years 1966-1968 with the more abundant sources available today\, this study identifies two critical mechanisms—namely\, contextual ambiguity and adaptive choice—that serve as intermediaries in shaping political alignments in moments of radical change. It is argued that within rapidly changing and ambiguous political environments\, the process of group formation is predominantly driven by emerging interests as factional struggles evolve\, rather than being firmly rooted in pre-existing social antagonisms. Throughout this dynamic process\, new political identities emerge\, and political interests are continuously redefined\, often giving rise to violent conflicts of increasing magnitude and influence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Hou Zhe - Between Ideals and Reality: The Working Class‘s Role in China’s Education Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Hou Zhe\, Assistant Professor\, Institute of China Studies\, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24 \n\n\n\nChair/Discussant: Elizabeth Perry\, Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University; Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute \n\n\n\nThe assertion that “the working class must lead everything” was a fundamental tenet in the ideological framework of the education revolution during Mao’s era in China. This principle\, along with the beliefs that “education serves proletarian politics” and “education should be combined with productive labor”\, underscored the legitimacy and importance of the working class in this transformative period. This talk aims to delve into the multifaceted role of the working class in shaping the educational landscape during this revolution. It will explore the instrumental role of the Workers’ Mao Zedong Thought Propaganda Teams within the educational systems and the impact of the School Revolutionary Committees within educational institutions. Furthermore\, it will examine the implementation and outcomes of labor education across various types of schools during this era. By doing so\, this discussion seeks to illuminate the complex interplay between class\, politics\, and education within the context of China’s historical and socio-political fabric. \n\n\n\nMore info: www.harvard-yenching.org/events/hou-zhe-between-ideals-and-reality/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:He Wenkai - Book talk: Public Interest and State Legitimation: Early Modern England\, Japan\, and China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: He Wenkai\,  Associate Professor\, Division of Social Science\, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; HYI Visiting Scholar 2016-17 \n\n\n\nIn this book\, Public Interest and State Legitimation: Early Modern England\, Japan\, and China (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press\, 2023)\, Wenkai He examines the connections between state capacity\, state legitimation and the expansion of political participation. He demonstrates how in each case a public interest-based discourse of state legitimation provided a common platform upon which state and society collaborated to provide public goods such as famine relief and large-scale infrastructural facilities. In this way\, state and society strove to overcome their respective weaknesses in attaining good governance. Moreover\, each discourse of state legitimation entailed ‘passive rights’ that allowed subordinates to justify their demands on the state to redress welfare grievances; these often took the form of collective actions. Conflicts between domestic welfare and other dimensions of public interest\, however\, could instigate cross-regional and cross-sectoral mass petitions for fundamental political reforms that were likewise justified by the state’s proclaimed duty to safeguard the public interest; these mass petitions might ultimately transform the state. Such a political ‘great divergence’ occurred in England (1760s-1780s) and Japan (1870s-1880s)\, but not in China. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Xiao Xiaoyan - Life Histories and Collective Memory of Deaf People in a Chinese Social Welfare Factory
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Xiao Xiaoyan\, Professor\, College of Foreign Languages and Cultures\, Xiamen University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Discussant: Kathryn Davidson\, Professor of Linguistics\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThis study reports an on-going project attempting  to record life histories of Deaf individuals and construct the collective memory of Deaf workers in Chinese social welfare factories since 1958. After 1949\, as part of the reform in social welfare and relief system\, the Chinese government established state-owned social welfare factories to provide its disabled citizens with a stable job. The presenter has interviewed Deaf employees who have retired from or are still working for the Beijing Sanlu Factory (北京三露厂)\, originally the Beijing Carpet Factory for the Deaf and Mute (北京聋哑人地毯厂)\, one of the very first two welfare factories built in Beijing in 1958 to provide concentrated employment for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people. While most of the earlier welfare factories in China went bankrupt\, Sanlu still survives\, after dramatic reforms and restructuring. Over 800 Deaf people have been employed here. Some of the older Deaf workers were hired since 1958 and have witnessed the ups and downs of the factory throughout the earlier decades\, while younger employees were outsourced to the Johnson & Johnson-bought Dabao (大宝) Makeup Co. Ltd\, the most successful subsidiary and top selling brand of the Sanlu group. Together\, life histories and collective memory of these Deaf workers provide a glimpse into the lives of the world’s biggest Deaf population and a unique perspective to showcase China’s larger political\, economic and social reform and transformation over six decades. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Wei Ran - Latin American Travelers and Revolutionary China in the Global 1960s: A Story of (Dis)encounters
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wei Ran\,  Associate Professor\, Institute of Foreign Literature\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Discussant: Mariano Siskind\, Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures and of Comparative Literature\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nIn the Global 1960s\, many Latin American leading intellectuals\, such as Pablo Neruda\, José Venturelli\, Eduardo Galeano and Ricardo Piglia\, visited Maoist China\, which was regarded as an alternative to Soviet Union and Cuba’s bureaucratic systems. This talk tries to reconstruct the experiences of their (dis)encounters with revolutionary China in the 1960-70s\, though travelogues\, memoirs\, documentaries\, archival records\, and contemporary novels. I will appropriate Contemporary Colombian novelist Juan Gabriel Vásquez’s Volver la vista atrás (2020) as Ariadne’s thread to sketch several Latin American travelers’ trajectories in Revolutionary China’s labyrinth. Key Latin American travelers’ experiences not merely synergistically created a Chinese version of Tricontinentalism and global solidarity\, but rather creatively modified some of the uniform discourses of Mao Zedong’s thought on literature and culture into centrifugal and transgressive critique. My central argument is that the pioneering literary and cultural creativity of the cross-border Latin American travelers led the way in the conceptualization of socialist cosmopolitanism\, rather than economic and trade cooperation in the 1960-70s. After five decades of the global 1960s\, facing Latin American postmemory archives\, such as Volver la vista atrás\, this talk\, by challenging fixed epistemological patterns\, seeks to suggest new perspectives towards the transnational utopian ruins. \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/latin-american-travelers-and-revolutionary-china-in-the-global-1960s-a-story-of-disencounters/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Yan Wenjie - Fake News as a Socio-political-psychological Phenomenon: Evidence from China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yan Wenjie\, Professor\, Political Communication\, Beijing Normal University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Chair/Discussant: Matthew Baum\, Marvin Kalb Professor Of Global Communications and Professor Of Public Policy\, Harvard Kennedy School; Department of Government\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThe spread of online falsity is one of the most pressing global challenges of the day. It is detrimental to the proper functioning of a society\, because it blocks quality information\, erodes social trust\, and breeds group conflicts. It is also a serious concern in China. With hundreds of millions of users\, Chinese social media have been awash with unfiltered misinformation. How gullible are people to misinformation on social media? What are the factors that may contribute to their patterns of veracity judgment and behavioral tendencies? What are the preventative measures at our disposal we might possibly use as social interventions? This talk is to provide some initial answers to these questions by presenting results from a set of survey experiments on samples of Chinese Internet users. By drawing upon empirical evidence from a non-Western population\, this talk is aimed to shed further light on our understanding of false news. \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/fake-news-as-a-socio-political-psychological-phenomenon-evidence-from-china/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
