SUMMARY:Olga Lomová - European Dream About Chinese Poetry in Sinological Research:  The Cases of Vasiliv Alekseyev (1881–1951)  and Jaroslav Průšek (1906–1980)
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]Via Zoom Meeting \nSpeaker: Olga Lomová\, Charles University in Prague \nIt is a well-known fact that since the late nineteenth century many Western modernists were fascinated by ancient Chinese poetry believed to be congenial to their new aesthetics. While Ezra Pound is a notorious example in the English-speaking world\, Pauline Yu and others have also demonstrated the crucial role of a much lesser known French poet and translator Judith Gautier (1845-1917) in promoting her version of Chinese poetry around Europe. Early translations of Chinese poetry by Western poets were shaped rather by their own taste for literary experiment than by serious inquiry into the complexity of Chinese poetic art\, and they are justly not included in the history of western sinology. However\, there were also sinologists who did substantial pioneering research into the history of Chinese literature and whose interest in the subject was nevertheless driven by similar modernist sensibility. I will present two European scholars who were among the first to write about Chinese poetry in European scholarship\, and discuss how the modernist aesthetics shaped their research. Using the cases of a Russian scholar V. Alexeyev\, and a Czech Jaroslav Průšek\, I will ask a question: how much preconceived notions about Chinese poetry inspired by earlier translations conditioned their understanding of Chinese literature\, and to what extent they helped them arrive at a breakthrough in Chinese literature studies. \nOlga Lomová is professor of Chinese literature at Charles University in Prague. Her research and teaching comprise Chinese poetry\, literary aesthetics\, and translation. She frames her research in questions of intellectual transformation in 20th century China\, interplay of ideology and culture in the PRC\, and history of sinological research in Europe with special focus on the Prague School. Currently she heads a research group on intercultural communication between East and West within a large transdisciplinary project KREAS at the Charles University Faculty of Arts. \nConducted via Zoom Meeting.\nRegistration Required.\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0sf-2qqj8qEt1suBi_342kgpb6delQCu5E\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:Jinying Li - Walled Media\, Mediating Walls
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jinying Li\, Brown University \nAs the global digital network promises boundless access to limitless information\, we are facing increasing layers of mounting walls in digital media: the Great Firewall (GFW)\, the Facebook Walls\, the virtual walls in virtual realities…. The existence of the walls shatters the myth of an infinitely open\, borderless digital space\, and highlights the significant functions of certain types of digital apparatus in managing\, controlling\, and mediating information\, knowledge\, and experience. A wall\, in its graphic signification and structural function\, is not only a boundary for demarcation but also a surface for expression. It is an object of both blockage and revelation. Drawing upon the “window” metaphor\, I argue that it is the wall rather than the window that fundamentally structures and defines digital media. Shifting the metaphor from “window” to ”wall” is a theoretical reconsideration of modern media not simply as systems of visual representation but as spatial organization. \nJinying Li is Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University\, where she teaches media theory\, animation\, and digital culture in East Asia. Her essays have been published in Film International\, Mechademia\, the International Journal of Communication\, Journal of Chinese Cinemas\, Asiascape\, Asian Cinema\, and Camera Obscura. She co-edited two special issues on Chinese animation for the Journal of Chinese Cinemas\, and a special issue on regional platforms for Asiascape: Digital Asia. She recently completed her first book\, Geek Pleasures: Anime\, Otaku\, and Cybernetic Affect and began her second book project\, Walled Media and Mediating Walls. Jinying is also a filmmaker and has worked on animations\, feature films\, and documentaries. Two documentary TV series that she produced were broadcasted nationwide in China through Shanghai Media Group (SMG). She is one of the co-writers of animated feature film Big Fish and Begonia (Dayu Haitang\, 2016) \nThe talk is part of the ongoing East Asian Media Ecologies lecture series. Following a ten-minute presentation by Professor Li are an extended conversation and Q&A with the moderators and attendees.\nMade possible by the generous support of the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations. \nPresented via Zoom.\nLog on at: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/91095850811?pwd=TlBHM3hDL1kwSkJaQmhFdi9hVG1Ndz09\nMeeting password: 254290
