SUMMARY:Wei-chieh Tsai - Settler Nativization in the Inner Eurasian Borderlands of the Qing and Russian Empires
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wei-chieh Tsai\, Assistant Professor\, Department of History\, Shenzhen University \nSettler nativization is an important issue\, yet insufficiently studied in colonial histories of early modern Eurasian empires. In the early modern era\, the Qing and Russian empires both penetrated the heartland of Inner Eurasia. Military subjugation and conquest was followed by a migration of people and colonization toward the Inner Eurasian borderlands. Both regimes faced similar problems\, and settler nativization was one of them. Those Han Chinese and Russian settlers were mostly poor\, lowly educated\, and single men working as farmers and merchants. They migrated into the Inner Eurasian borderlands seeking arable lands and trade opportunities. To survive in the strange lands\, those settlers and their offspring as minorities had to work with indigenous peoples and gradually acquired indigenous cultures and identities. This paper explores the similarity and difference between the nativization of Han Chinese and Russian settlers and the responses of the states. This paper argues that the difference of autonomy and local authority of native peoples in both empires should contribute to the consequence of settler nativization in the Qing and Russian empires. \nRegister for Zoom meeting link

SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar Featuring Tina Lu - The Politics of Li Yu’s Xianqing ouji (Casual Expressions)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tina Lu\, Colonel John Trumbull Professor of East Asian Languages and Literatures\, Yale University \nWhen it comes to an understanding of the politics of literature and literary production\, our field is still largely dominated by Craig Clunas’ framework (itself largely adapted from Bourdieu). I am interested in considering the politics of Li Yu’s Xianqing ouji 閒情偶寄 (1671) not simply as a means for its author to climb up a social hierarchy but as a much more expansive political imagining. Many of the collection’s essays treat what are obviously political topics (for example\, behavior appropriate to people of different social standing)\, but I will argue that their form and language also demand consideration as political acts. \nPlease note that Professor Lu’s talk will be recorded and archived on the MHC and EALC websites. If you do not feel comfortable being recorded\, please disable your video. The Q&A session will not be recorded. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Mahindra Humanities Center and the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMtc-iopzwoG9KcANoTFgoQondjKok6oHAY

SUMMARY:Erin Y. Huang - Ocean Media:  South China Sea and Gilles Deleuze’s Desert Islands
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Erin Y. Huang\, Assistant Professor of East Asian Studies and Comparative Literature\, Princeton University \n“Humans can live on an island only by forgetting what an island represents\,” writes Deleuze in his short essay “Desert Islands” (îles déserte; huangdao; mujintō; no-man island). But what does an island truly represent (that for Deleuze means the constant strife between the earth’s elements)? What is producing the culture of forgetting? And why do islands appear deserted even when they are inhabited? In recent years when the large-scale Chinese state-led artificial islanding (rengong zaodao) in the South China Sea created an international territorial dispute\, caused by new experimentations with the limit of the early modern European legal concept of the “free sea” (coined by the seventeenth-century Dutch philosopher Hugo Grotius)\, these questions that Deleuze raised in the 1950s return as the definition of the “island” increasingly gravitates toward the “technologies of islanding” that are reshaping the operations of global financial and military power. Transforming the “island” into free treaty ports\, military vessels and bases\, logistics cities\, and special economic zones\, islanding\, rather than insularity\, is at the heart of the critical infrastructure of global circulation. Bringing together the methodological approaches of infrastructure and media studies and the island writings of Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze\, this talk explores a new genealogy of island critique\, from Danial Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe that marks the beginning of British maritime power to the contemporary American satellite surveillance network on Asian oceans (e.g. AMTI’s “Island Tracker”) and the expansion of Chinese infrastructural empire that is creating new conflict shorelines. Rather than defining “ocean media” at the outset\, this examination probes what we mean by “media” in the context of understanding capital’s creation of “environment\,” and the new conceptualizations of “Europe” (old centers of maritime power) and “Asia” (new experimenters of existing colonial techniques). \nErin Y. Huang is assistant professor of East Asian Studies and Comparative Literature and an associated faculty of Gender & Sexuality Studies at Princeton University. She is the author of Urban Horror: Neoliberal Post-Socialism and the Limits of Visibility (Duke University Press\, 2020). She is currently working on her second book that focuses on maritime capitalism\, islanding\, special economic zones\, and feminist critiques of global logistics. \nThe talk is part of the East Asian Media Ecologies lecture series. \nPresented via Zoom\nLog on to: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/91834267809?pwd=Q3pCZVZBM3RXSzVwVlBFRC9aZz09SWNw
