SUMMARY:Minhua Ling - Containerization of Migrant Housing on Shanghai's Edge
DESCRIPTION:zoom meeting link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Minhua Ling\, Fellow\, Institute for Advanced Study  \n\n\n\nChina’s escalated infrastructural and real estate development has gradually erased urban villages and reduced affordable living space for rural-to-urban migrants. This talk showcases the emerging practice of container housing among low-income migrants who live in removable cargo containers or prefabricated metal shelters on the urban fringe of Shanghai. Despite the neglected appearance of container housing\, I argue that its existence and operation exemplify “formal informality” entailing the acquiescence and surveillance of local state agents as well as entrepreneurs’ tactics of conformation that sustains structural inequality. Container housing also contributes to the deterritorialization of homemaking among migrant workers\, who are channeled by hukou-related policies to invest and retire in their registered home places. The containerization of migrant housing thus reinforces migrants’ socio-spatial precarity in China’s exclusive urban citizenship and place-specific property regime. \n\n\n\nMinhua Ling is a sociocultural anthropologist with research interests in mobility\, inequality\, sustainability\, rural-urban relations\, and environmental humanities. Her single-authored articles appeared in international journals including China Quarterly\, China Journal\, Anthropological Quarterly\, Urban Studies\, positions: asia critique\, and HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory. Her monograph The Inconvenient Generation: Migrant Youth Coming of Age on Shanghai’s Edge (Stanford University Press\, 2020) offers the first longitudinal study of second-generation rural-to-urban migrant youth navigating through middle school to labor and consumer markets. She taught at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (2013-2022) and is currently a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study (2022-23)\, after which she will join the Geneva Graduate Institute as Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology in the fall of 2023.Zoom link: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96217779608 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Chinese Kinesthetic Forms
DESCRIPTION:Topics: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMovement has a distinctively rich tradition in China. Chinese Kinesthetic Forms considers movement as an organizing principle across myriad media and cultural forms—from dance and music\, to painting and calligraphy\, to theater and martial arts. The conference explores how movement\, as both expression and object of perception\, opens experiential dimensions\, even beyond the corporeal. Coinciding with the presentation of installations from CAMLab’s Cave Dance project\, the conference joins fresh conversations on dance\, kinesthetics\, and China’s long history of performance\, and it seeks to further understanding of movement as a way of defining experience. \n\n\n\nThis conference is organized by Harvard FAS CAMLab\, with support from the Department of History of Art and Architecture.  \n\n\n\nFriday\, November 11 \n\n\n\n9:30 AM  Welcome RemarksDavid Roxburgh\, Harvard University \n\n\n\n9:45–10:30 AM  Opening Remarks and Keynote Eugene Wang\, Harvard University. “When and How Did Art Become Art?

SUMMARY:Youqin Hang - Families in Transition: Living Arrangements\, Intergenerational Support\, and  Subjective Wellbeing in 21st Century China
DESCRIPTION:Zoom meeting link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Youqin Huang\, Professor of Geography and Planning\, Research Associate of the Center for Social and Demographic Analysis\, University at Albany\, State University of New YorkThis paper examines whether the Chinese family is undergoing a Western process of modernization and an associated reduction in previously very high rate of parent-adult child co-residence\, and how this change in living arrangement affects subjective wellbeing. Using the China Household Finance Survey\, this study reveals that only two decades into the 21st century\, co-residence in China is as low as\, if not lower than that in the West.  Instead\, living apart in proximity in the same city has replaced co-residence as the most prevalent living arrangement.  This shift to proximity is a result of the negotiations between traditional and modernizing tendencies and is further enabled by significantly improved housing and household financial conditions.  This is in contrast to an emerging trend of moving back to parents’ house in the West due to rising housing cost.  Furthermore\, living apart in proximity\, together with strong inter-generational support\, has a significant positive effect on subjective wellbeing.  We conclude that even as China continues its progress in modernization and market transition\, strong intergenerational connections based on Confucian values continue to persist\, although with some modern twists\, which promotes wellbeing. \n\n\n\nDr. Youqin Huang is a Professor of Geography and Planning and a Research Associate of the Center for Social and Demographic Analysis at University at Albany\, State University of New York.  Her research aims to understand the impact of major socioeconomic transformations and government policies\, focusing on housing\, migration\, health\, and wellbeing. She is the (co-)author/(co-)editor of ten books/edited volumes and has published papers in leading journals in geography\, China\, urban studies\, and housing\, including Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America\, The China Quarterly\, Urban Studies\, Housing Studies\, as well as Environment and Planning A\, and B. \n\n\n\nZoom meeting link: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96217779608 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
