SUMMARY:From Eco-Threat to Green Leader: Narratives of China’s Environment
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Elizabeth Lord\, An Wang Postdoctoral Fellow\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies \nThis talk aims to unpack dominant narratives about China’s environment\, including the discourse of crisis\, the idea that growth brings environmental protection and the potential that China can act as an environmental ‘vanguard’ at the international level. By analyzing how each of these narratives spatialize China’s environmental issues\, the objective is to unpack their assumptions and their geopolitical implications. These narratives show that environmental questions increasingly serve as a platform to ‘re-orientalize’ China\, or construct China as an environmental ‘other.’ \nElizabeth Lord is an An Wang Postdoctoral Fellow at the Fairbank Center. Her research seeks to understand China’s contemporary environment\, examine the relationship between environmental change and inequalities\, and theorize the production of environmental knowledge\, particularly in China. During her time at the Center\, Elizabeth will research the environmental narratives of China. She will evaluate the assumptions and implications of environmental narratives\, including those produced in China and outside of China.

SUMMARY:Those Waters Giving Way
DESCRIPTION:An overview of Michael Cherney’s artistic process and recent works. The art combines photography with the subject matter\, aesthetics\, materials and formats traditionally associated with classical Chinese painting\, which allows for viewing the present day environment and landscape in China through the lens of art history. In addition to the presentation\, the artist will guide the audience through viewing several handscrolls\, albums and other works \n“One would be hard-pressed to find a ‘more Chinese’ artist than Qiu Mai (Michael Cherney). Photographer\, calligrapher\, and book artist\, Qiu Mai’s work is done with the great sophistication that draws on the subtleties of China’s most scholarly and esoteric traditions. Based in Beijing and a successful artist whose works have been collected by The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Department of Asian Art (the first photographic works ever to enter the collection of that department)\, Qiu Mai’s art is less provocative than it is intellectually engaging\, meditative\, and often simply beautiful.  What is provocative is his identity:  Qiu Mai is the Chinese name for Michael Cherney\, born in New York of Jewish parentage. Cherney’s work is the cutting-edge demonstration of artistic globalization:  if Asian artists can so readily ‘come West\,’ then what is to prevent large numbers of future Western artists from ‘going Asian’? Or\, like Qiu Mai/Michael Cherney\, going both ways at once\, both American and Chinese\, modern and traditional.”\n– Jerome Silbergeld\, P. Y. and Kinmay W. Tang Professor of Chinese Art History\, Princeton University \nCo-sponsored by the Harvard-China Project

SUMMARY:Film Screening of "Plastic China" and Q&A with Director Wang Jiuliang
DESCRIPTION:After the screening\, Director Wang Jiuliang will attend via Skype for a Q&A with the audience moderated by Professor Zhang Ling of Boston College and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. The discussion will be interpreted by Canaan Morse\, a Ph.D. candidate in Chinese Literature at Harvard.  \nAbout the Film: As the world’s biggest plastic waste importer\, China receives ten million tons per year from most of the developed countries around the world. With high external costs impacting the local environment and health\, these imports are reborn here in these plastic workshops into “recycled” raw materials for the appetite of China – the world factory. This waste is then exported back to where they came from with a new face such as manufactured clothing or toys. Following the daily lives of two families living in a typical plastic waste household-recycling workshop\, PLASTIC CHINA explores how this work of recycling plastic waste with their bare hands takes a toll not only on their health\, but also their own dilemma of poverty\, disease\, pollution and death. \nAbout the Director: Director of the award-winning documentary film BEIJING BESIEGED BY WASTE\, WANG Jiuliang graduated from the School of Cinematic Arts of the Communication University of China in 2007. From 2007 to 2008\, he finished a set of photographic works about Chinese traditional superstitions. He started investigating landfill pollution around Beijing in 2008\, and in 2011\, finished BEIJING BESIEGED BY WASTE\, a set of photographic works and a documentary with the same name. Since 2012\, he has been working on and promoting the documentary PLASTIC CHINA. \nBoston-area premiere co-sponsored by the Harvard-China Project on Energy\, Economy and Environment\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences; Environment in Asia Series\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies; and Emergent Visions Film Screening Series\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. \nFree admission to the film screening is made possible through the generous support of the Harvard Global Institute.

SUMMARY:Tyler Harlan - Small Hydropower and the Low-Carbon Frontier in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tyler Harlan\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Department of Geography\, University of California\, Los Angeles \nSince the 1950s\, the Chinese government has used small hydropower (SHP) to drive rural electrification and local economic development in the remote\, resource-rich west of the country. More recently\, however\, this same technology has been re-framed as a renewable energy that generates electricity for the national green economy. In this presentation I argue that SHP represents a broader transformation of rural western China into a ‘low-carbon frontier’\, characterized by the rapid growth of renewable energy infrastructure far from urban centers. I show how the frontier is simultaneously constructed as a site of ecological degradation and of untapped low-carbon value\, both discursively and materially through preferential state policies for renewable energy expansion. This\, in turn\, enables energy firms and local governments to extract new profits from natural resources that may have competing uses. Drawing on policy analysis and twelve months of interviews with government officials\, hydropower investors\, and farmers\, I argue that SHP on the ‘low-carbon frontier’ privileges renewable energy generation over other local resource needs. At the same time\, I show how local governments employ new SHP infrastructure for their own uses\, such as powering nearby mining and mineral processing facilities. This presentation thus highlights the importance of examining subnational geographies of low-carbon transformation\, and the ways that resources and technologies can be re-purposed for local and national development goals. \nCo-sponsored by China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, and Environment in Asia Series\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies

SUMMARY:Thomas DuBois: China's Dairy Century - Making\, Drinking and Dreaming of Milk
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Thomas DuBois\, Modern China Historian \nChina’s dairy industry has of late become big news. A country that few would have instinctively associated with milk has emerged as the world’s third largest producer (following India and the United States)\, and second largest consumer of dairy. But the significance of dairy in China is not merely one of aggregate industry size\, nor is its emergence a wholly recent phenomenon. \nMilk was not a major theme in China’s twentieth century\, but it was a surprisingly persistent one. Looking back\, one will see peaks of interest—a new dairy here\, milk safety scandal there\, and images of happy\, milk-fed babies throughout. But do these very different sorts of events constitute a single story? This presentation examines China’s century of dairy as three distinct processes—production\, consumption and culture—discussing each according to its own sources\, standards and logic. Besides introducing a vital transformation within China’s animal industries\, this talk aims to introduce some new ways to think about how we make\, consume and think about food. \nThomas DuBois is a historian of modern China\, and author of three monographs on religion and social transformation\, most recently Empire and the Meaning of Religion in Northeast Asia: Manchuria 1900-1945 (Cambridge\, 2017). He has also written extensively on other topics of the social and legal history of the twentieth century\, including charities\, sovereignty and the resurgence of the NGO sector. DuBois has taught at universities in the US\, Singapore and Australia. His current research on China’s animal industries is funded by the Australian Research Council and the History and Anthropology Project at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. \nMore of his publications may be found at https://independent.academia.edu/ThomasDavidDuBois杜博思

SUMMARY:Ancestral Halls: Their Life After Death
DESCRIPTION:From the late fifteenth century to the mid-twentieth century over 6\,000 ancestral halls (祠堂) were constructed in Huizhou 徽州\, a prefecture at the southern end of Anhui province.  Usually understood to represent the growing attachment of families to the establishment of lineage authority in their villages\, Huizhou’s ancestral halls soon acquired a variety of functions mentioned neither in classical Confucian nor neo-Confucian texts.  In exploring how these ancestral halls were built Dr. McDermott’s talk will investigate how their newly acquired functions helped attract kinsmen to the growing number and activities of these halls\, and how these halls’ hold over successive generations of lineages was linked to the rise and growth of the Huizhou merchants\, south China’s most successful regional group of merchants from the fifteenth to the mid-nineteenth century.  The talk will end with a consideration of how the long-term institutional changes in Huizhou villages from the early Ming to the Qing\, that culminated in the rise of these ancestral halls\, might provide us with a more agent-based set of categories for understanding how major institutional changes in village life from the fourteenth to twentieth century were perceived by ordinary Chinese themselves as the outgrowth of options arising from their villages’ institutional changes. \nSpeaker: Joseph McDermott\, St. John’s College\, University of Cambridge. After a BA (Eng.Lit.)  at Yale\, Joseph McDermott 周紹明 embarked on another BA and then a Ph.D. in Chinese Studies in the UK.  Drawn initially to the study of modern China\, his struggles with pre-modern Chinese literature very quickly drew him into the study of pre-modern Chinese history\, a decision he has never regretted.  His studies of the Song and then the Ming dynasties have had him undertake research and enjoy long overseas stays in Japan and China\, before ending up at St John’s College\, U. of Cambridge\, where he has taught since 1990.  An interest in China’s cultural history prompted him to write A Social History of the Chinese Book (2006) and edit State and Court Ritual in China (1999)\, but his overriding interest since his undergraduate days has been the changes in how ordinary Chinese people lived from the Tang dynasty up to the late Qing.  Hence\, his recent studies include the Song economy for the recent The Cambridge History of China\, Volume 5 Part II\, Song China as well as his two volumes on Huizhou lineages and merchants (The Making of a New Rural Order in South China\, Volume I: Village\, Land\, Lineage in Huizhou\, 900-1600\, Cambridge University Press\, 2014; Volume II to appear later this year).
