SUMMARY:“Actually\, We Are Mongols!”: Resurgence of the Yuan Non-Han Ancestries in the Late Qing North China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Iiyama Tomoyasu\, Waseda University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Chair/discussant: Mark Elliott\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThis talk attempts to shed light on the largely unknown trajectories of the resurgence and evolution of Yuan non-Han ancestries in north China from the late eighteenth century through the early twentieth century. By exploring three relatively well documented cases of the resurgence of the Yuan non-Han ancestry\, this talk offers two tentative conclusions. First\, the commemoration of the non-Han ancestries seems to have been roused by the two-century-long Gazetteers of the Great Qing Empire compilation project\, over the course of which the state reiterated extensive surveys of local worthies\, widow chastity\, and martyred loyal subjects\, including those from the previous dynasties. Second\, the late Qing era (roughly mid-eighteenth to late nineteenth century) was one of the pivotal turning points in making of modern ethnic landscape in north China. The memory of Mongol rule authorized by the Qing official historiography have become the wellspring of the twentieth century minzu identity. \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/actually-we-are-mongols-resurgence-of-the-yuan-non-han-ancestries-in-the-late-qing-north-china/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Harvard CAMLab Fall Public Visits
DESCRIPTION:reserve a tour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring Public Visits\, CAMLab welcomes our audiences to explore immersive installations that stage cultural history with digital technologies. \n\n\n\nCAMLab Cave Public Visits are guided group tours. Reservations are limited to 15 per hour\, in order to preserve the experiential dimension of CAMLab’s multisensorial project installations. Tours are led by a team of Harvard Student Educators\, hailing from graduate programs across the university as well as Harvard College. \n\n\n\nCurrently installed in CAMLab Cave\, the Cave Dance and Embodied Architecture projects activate the narrative\, cultural\, and sensorial potentials of interpreting historical data. \n\n\n\nCave Dance integrates thousands of depictions of dance from Dunhuang with motion capture of trained dancers\, who performed movements preserved by textual records. With this human-computer collaborative choreography as its foundation\, the Cave Dance installation instantiates movement sequences within ethereal motifs and enacts the “bodiless body\,” a state of transcendence epitomized by celestial dancers at Dunhuang. \n\n\n\nCombining photogrammetry with procedural generation and CGI\, Embodied Architecture presents the world’s most comprehensive 3D model of the Yingxian pagoda\, the world’s tallest timber structure. Serving as a stage for opening a cosmological understanding\, the installation progressively unfolds the multisensory experience that the pagoda embodies—elucidating the lens of ritual practice. \n\n\n\nAdvanced reservations are required\, and all are welcome. Tickets are pay-as-you-wish\, with $10.00 suggested for non-Harvard visitors. Proceeds directly support CAMLab’s future research and projects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Erik Mueggler - Writing\, Slavery\, and Indigenous Sovereignty in Southwest China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Erik Mueggler\, Professor Anthropology\, University of Michigan \n\n\n\nImperial China managed its border regions by negotiating power with indigenous chieftains. Hereditary chieftains were allowed sovereignty over indigenous domains in exchange for keeping the peace and lending their militias to imperial campaigns. Ming and Qing colonialism in the Southwest took the form of a long\, staggered process of abolishing indigenous chiefly houses. Yet such houses often recreated themselves\, seizing partial sovereignty over smaller domains. This talk follows the diary of an aspiring chieftain adopted into a twice-abolished\, Yi-ethnicity chiefly house in the late Qing. A stranger to the house\, the adopted chieftain used his daily account to probe its relational ecology—relations among the former chieftain’s wives\, concubines\, and daughters\, the eighteen elite enslaved bondsmen who acted as the house’s agents\, the forty-odd domestic slaves who attended the house’s elites\, and the corpse of the former chieftain lying in his chambers waiting for the chiefly succession to be decided. I show how the adopted chieftain used his written diary as a tool for divination: for probing the undercurrents of collective intention among the house’s enslaved residents that would ultimately decide whether the house would make room for him or kill him. \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP to attend the lecture here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/contemporary-chinese-culture-lecture-tickets-720028894807 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Film Screening - People and Their Virtue: "Youth (Spring)" by Wang Bing
DESCRIPTION:order tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShot between 2014 and 2019 and compiled from 2\,600 hours of footage\, Wang Bing’s latest opus centers on young migrant laborers in Zhili\, an industrial town near Shanghai that is home to thousands of privately-run garment workshops. Employing his trademark long takes and fixed camera setups\, Wang contrasts routine days of sewing\, stitching and scissoring with bustling street scenes and after-hours sequences set in the workers’ cramped living quarters\, chancing upon dramas that inevitably emerge from such a repetitive\, cloistered and threadbare existence. While Zhili’s privatized structure and incentive-based production model allows for certain advantages over the kind of centrally governed factories seen in earlier Wang films like West of the Tracks (2002)\, it also leaves employees at the mercy of predatory managers\, a situation the director depicts as an endless tug-of-war for better pay. With textbook rigor\, Wang captures a new economic reality that\, for all it promises\, has only fostered a new form of exploitation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Film Screening - People and Their Virtue: "Man in Black" by Wang Bing
DESCRIPTION:order tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWang Bing’s first work made outside of China\, this one-hour featurette boldly announces a new phase in the director’s career. Shot at the historic Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in Paris\, it stages a biographical encounter with eighty-six-year-old modern classical composer Wang Xilin\, whose anti-Communist sentiments made him the target of intense persecution and abuse during the Cultural Revolution. Standing naked against the empty theater’s distressed architecture\, the artist proceeds to sing\, play piano\, contort his scarred body into odd shapes\, and eventually recount the torture he endured at the hands of Mao’s army—all while excerpts from his compositions erupt in irregular measures on the soundtrack. Working with a French crew that includes cinematographer Caroline Champetier and editor Claire Atherton\, Wang adopts a newly liberated style in which the fluidity of the camera and montage acts as a fitting frame for the vivid expression of historical trauma. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

Tours are led by a team of Harvard Student Educators\, hailing from graduate programs across the university as well as Harvard College. \n\n\n\nCurrently installed in CAMLab Cave\, the Cave Dance and Embodied Architecture projects activate the narrative\, cultural\, and sensorial potentials of interpreting historical data. \n\n\n\nCave Dance integrates thousands of depictions of dance from Dunhuang with motion capture of trained dancers\, who performed movements preserved by textual records. With this human-computer collaborative choreography as its foundation\, the Cave Dance installation instantiates movement sequences within ethereal motifs and enacts the “bodiless body\,” a state of transcendence epitomized by celestial dancers at Dunhuang. \n\n\n\nCombining photogrammetry with procedural generation and CGI\, Embodied Architecture presents the world’s most comprehensive 3D model of the Yingxian pagoda\, the world’s tallest timber structure. Serving as a stage for opening a cosmological understanding\, the installation progressively unfolds the multisensory experience that the pagoda embodies—elucidating the lens of ritual practice. \n\n\n\nAdvanced reservations are required\, and all are welcome. Tickets are pay-as-you-wish\, with $10.00 suggested for non-Harvard visitors. Proceeds directly support CAMLab’s future research and projects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Shakespeare’s Influence on Modern Chinese Literature and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tianhu Hao\, Zhejiang University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Chair/discussant: David Damrosch\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nShakespeare has had an important influence upon modern Chinese literature and culture since the 1830s\, which constitutes a significant part of Shakespeare’s global impact. Based on the rich sources recently accessible in Chinese and English databases\, this article reconsiders Shakespeare’s impact on modern China\, especially in the indigenization of the sonnet and the rise of huaju (spoken drama). The abundant\, newly discovered data reveal Shakespeare’s multi-faceted contributions to the shaping of modern Chinese literature and culture. This is a modest effort to revise literary\, theatrical\, and cultural histories. \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/shakespeares-influence-on-modern-chinese-literature-and-culture/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Lung Yingtai - My Life in an Indigenous Village
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lung Yingtai\, Writer\, Former Minister of Culture of TaiwanChair: Elizabeth J. Perry\, Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute; Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nSince Lung Yingtai relocated to an indigenous village in eastern Taiwan three years ago\, she sought to comprehend the elements that comprise her life\, including the journey of her daily water supply from the mountain’s depths to her garden pond. Furthermore\, she regularly encounters cobras\, wild boars and crab-eating mongooses\, prompting her to examine the impact of cultural as well as environmental “encroachment” on the wildlife and people residing in the untouched forest. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Lung Yingtai is a writer\, literary critic and public intellectual. Lung not only has a large number of devoted readers in her native Taiwan\, but her works also have great influence in the Chinese-language world in Singapore\, Malaysia\, China\, and North America. Lung entered public service as Taipei City Government’s first minister of culture in 1999 and served as Taiwan’s inaugural Minister of Culture from 2012-2014. She is author of more than two dozen books\, including essays\, fiction\, reportage\, and literary criticism. Her 1985 book\, The Wild Fire\, created a major cultural stir for its honest and introspective look at the social and political problems facing contemporary Taiwan society. Big River\, Big Sea: Untold Stories of 1949\, published in 2009\, became a must-read in greater China despite that it has been banned in China. She was Hung Leung Hao Ling Distinguished Fellow in Humanities at the University of Hong Kong from 2015-2020. \n\n\n\nOrganized by the Harvard-Yenching Institute\, and co-sponsored with the Harvard University Asia Center\, the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, and the Boston University Center for the Study of Asia \n\n\n\nMore information: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/my-life-in-an-indigenous-village/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:The Chinese Surveillance Technology Industry and its Reception in African Countries
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bulelani Jili\,  Meta Ph.D. Research Fellow\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nBulelani Jili’s research seeks to offer insights into how China’s domestic surveillance market and cyber capability ecosystem operate\, especially given the limited number of systematic studies that have analyzed its industry objectives. For the Chinese government\, investment in surveillance technologies advances both its ambitions of becoming a global technology leader as well as its means of domestic social control. These developments also foster further collaboration between state security actors and private tech firms. Accordingly\, the tech firms that support state cyber capabilities range from small cyber research startups to leading global tech enterprises. The state promotes surveillance technology and practices abroad through diplomatic exchanges\, law enforcement cooperation\, and training programs. These efforts encourage the dissemination of surveillance devices\, but also support the government’s goals concerning international norm-making in multilateral and regional institutions. \n\n\n\nThe proliferation of Chinese surveillance technology and cyber tools and the associated linkages between both state and private Chinese entities with those in other states\, especially in the Global South\, is a valuable component of Chinese state efforts to expand and strengthen their political and economic influence worldwide. Although individual governments purchasing Chinese digital tools have their local ambitions in mind\, Beijing’s export and promotion of domestic surveillance technologies shape the adoption of these tools in the Global South. As such\, investigating how Chinese actors leverage demand factors for their own aims\, does not undercut the ability of other countries to detect and determine outcomes. Rather it demonstrates an interplay between Chinese state strategy and local political environments. In this presentation\, Mr. Jili will focus on key features in China’s surveillance ecosystem\, and touch upon the key ‘pull factors’ from African countries and their significance for US interests. \n\n\n\nBulelani Jili is a Meta Ph.D. Research Fellow at Harvard University\, where he is pursuing a Ph.D. in African studies and anthropology. His research interests include Africa-China relations; Cybersecurity; ICT development; African Political Economy; Internet Policy; Chinese Business Law; Law and Development; and Privacy Law. He is also a Cybersecurity Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; a Fellow at the Atlantic Council; a Visiting Fellow at Yale Law School; and is conducting research with the China\, Law\, Development project at Oxford University. Born in Durban\, South Africa\, he received an M.Phil. from Cambridge University\, M.A. in Economics from Peking University\, and B.A.\, in Politics\, Philosophy\, and Economics from Wesleyan University. \n\n\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided. \n\n\n\nSponsored by East Asian Legal Studies. Co-sponsored by the Department of African and African American Studies and the Department of Anthropology. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:China's Clean Energy Engagement in Central Asia
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:Yipeng Zhou\, Coordinator\, Imperiia Project / A.M. in Regional Studies–REECAChristoph Nedopil\, Director\, Green Finance and Development Center\, Fanhai International School of Finance\, Fudan UniversityAlmas Chukin\, Managing Partner\, Visor Kazakhstan \n\n\n\nModerator: Nargis Kassenova\, Senior Fellow; Director\, Program on Central Asia\, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies \n\n\n\nChina has become a global leader in clean energy in recent years. Exporting renewable energy technologies and equipment is at the core of China’s plan to go green while remaining prosperous. The five Central Asian countries can benefit from this drive and capitalize on Chinese investments and financing\, technological exchange\, and knowledge sharing in their pursuit of a clean energy transition. Chinese firms have already become important investors in solar and wind farms in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. However\, to fully benefit from these opportunities\, Central Asian countries should carefully consider a number of challenges\, including potential financial and technological dependence and the ramifications of China’s economic slowdown. The panel will feature a presentation of the recent Renewable Energy Transition in Central Asia (RETCA) project publication on the topic. \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Yu-Yueh Tsai - Indigenous DNA as A Metaphor: Scientific Debate on the Rediscovery of Taiwanese Ancestry and Nation-Building
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yu-Yueh Tsai\, Associate Research Fellow\, Institute of Sociology\, Academia Sinica; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23Chair: Sheila Jasanoff\, Pforzheimer Professor of Science and Technology Studies\, Harvard Kennedy School \n\n\n\nThe development of genealogical science in the twenty-first century has important implications for national and racial/ethnic construction. In Taiwan\, genetic research on the origins of Taiwanese has involved racial/ethnic issues but also the dispute over Taiwan’s national identity with the People’s Republic of China\, which claims that “we have the same roots” or “blood is thicker than water.” After the end of martial law (1945-1987)\, scientific research on multi-origins and genetic makeup of Taiwanese emerged. In particular\, Marie Lin\, M.D.\, widely known as “the mother of the research on Taiwanese blood\,” and her teams have been devoted to revealing the origins of the ethnic groups in Taiwan. My research pushes the concept of co-production between science and politics (Jasanoff\, 2004) further by addressing the “nationalization of biomedicine” and the “biomedicalization of the nation”. I explore how Taiwan’s changing identity politics\, including the emergence of the new categorization of four great ethnic groups\, multiculturalism\, and Taiwanese nationalism\, has profoundly influenced genetic research on Taiwanese genealogy and how scientific findings produced in the lab have then spilled out into both Taiwan and the PRC through journals\, media\, history textbooks\, and public disputes since the 1990s. For genealogical science to play a constructive role in identity-making\, this research shows that we need to remain vigilant to genetic technology\, scientific knowledge formation\, and methodology by looking at scientists’ works and discourses through an STS perspective to extend the epistemological reflection. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \n\n\n\nSeating is limited.

SUMMARY:Beijing Olympiad: First Time as Mass Spectacle\, Second Time as Digital Ornament
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cassandra Xin Guan\, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow\, MIT Center for Art\, Science & Technology \n\n\n\nThe opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics was notable for its spectacular deployment of the mass human ornament. In 2022\, a second Olympic opening ceremony took place amidst a global pandemic and rising geopolitical tension between China and the US. This time around the hot and noisy masses that thrilled American television viewers with their coordinated precision have vanished from the scene of representation. In documentations of the two events: one hot\, one cold; one crowded\, one empty; one bursting with life\, one eerily devoid of humanity—we see a thermal-aesthetic inversion that assigns representational values to an under-theorized historical interval between China’s first and second Olympic Games. This talk will tarry with the chronotopic form of this interval\, with\, that is\, the time-space of historical figuration. Drawing attention to the emergence of a nationalist imaginary determined by the paradox of automation\, I ask what global forces are responsible for the cooling of the mass spectacle’s hot noise\, and what happens to the efficacy of the vitalized icon when the masses exit the mass ornament? \n\n\n\nCassandra Xin Guan is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at The MIT Center for Art\, Science & Technology. She holds a PhD in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University and was Dean’s Faculty Fellow in the Program of Science\, Technology\, Society (STS). She is currently working on two books in tandem: “Maladaptive Media: ‘Life’ and Other Works of Animation” and “Imagine There’s No Human: China in Animation.” Her writings have appeared in October\, Screen\, and Critical Inquiry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
