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. Masks are required for all in-person audience members.Info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/indigenous-dna-as-a-metaphor-scientific-debate-on-the-rediscovery-of-taiwanese-ancestry-and-nation-building/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

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

SUMMARY:Harvard Visual China Inaugural Graduate Symposium--"Luminosity in Chinese Art & Culture"
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom Prometheus the Fire-Bringer to myths of cosmogony\, light and luminosity is an enduring metaphor in human history. In modern science\, light and luminosity are understood as matters of wavelength and energy. Yet in the Chinese context\, luminosity is not confined to issues of the visual and visibility. In fact\, luminosity had long been associated with consciousness and vitality beyond the expiration of the physical body\, especially in connections with certain materials and objects. The Harvard Visual China Inaugural Graduate Symposium presents three panels on this topic: Panel 1: Visualizing Luminosity; Panel 2: Painting Luminosity; Panel 3: Luminous Jewels. \n\n\n\nMore information and registration: https://www.harvardvisualchina.com/hvc-2023-symposium-info-registration. \n\n\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Department of History of Art & Architecture\, the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Innovation Fund\, and Harvard FAS CAMLab.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Wei Wei - Family Matters: Chinese Queer Politics Around the Rise of a Family-State
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wei Wei\, Professor of Sociology\, East China Normal University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23 \n\n\n\nChair/Discussant: Michael Bronski\, Professor of the Practice In Media And Activism In Studies Of Women\, Gender\, And Sexuality\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nLGBT activism in mainland China\, based on the trajectory of identity politics\, faces increasing challenges from the state in recent years. Drawing insights from the scholarship of provincizing sexual citizenship and building on my decades-long researches into Chinese LGBT communities and activism\, the study situates such challenges and responses of the LGBT communities in the context of a rising Chinese family-state. It first lays out the bleak reality of civic participation and mobilization\, parallel to the ascendance of familist discourses\, that lead to the reconfiguration of Chinese queer politics. The engagement of LGBT communities to the Chinese family-state will be the focus of the talk. On the one hand\, the newly emerging LGBT parent families utilize the opportunities of policy change to strive for the state’s recognition; on the other hand\, family value as a shared rhetoric but open for contestation\, has been appropriated by the LGBT activism to negotiate with the state for survival. The talk concludes with a discussion of Chinese homonationalism in the making\, which may also have implication for queer politics beyond China. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar Talk \n\n\n\nMasks are required for all in-person audience members.

SUMMARY:Urban China Seminar Series featuring Tingting Lu - Collaborative Neighborhood Governance During the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Tingting Lu\, ​Shanghai Jiao Tong University \n\n\n\n​The COVID-19 pandemic is a governance challenge for nations and cities across the world. While early observations have primarily focused on nation-scale government actions\, our research shows that neighborhood social capital also plays a key role in Chinese neighborhoods. Drawing from collaborative governance theory\, we examine the horizontal and hierarchical dynamics of neighborhood governance collaboration during crisis responses in urban China. Using a large-scale questionnaire survey of frontline community workers conducted in six Chinese cities in February 2020\, we find that from the perspective of residents’ committees\, the effectiveness of collaborative governance in pandemic control is predicted by both neighborhood social capital (i.e. civic engagement and citizen participation) and hierarchical steering by the government through setting policy priorities and providing support. We also surveyed residents for their opinions on neighborhood collaborative governance post pandemic. Social capital presents opposite correlations to one’s collaboration with a residents’ committee and collaboration with a private management company.  \n\n\n\nTingting Lu is an Associate Professor at School of International and Public Affairs\, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Her research focuses on neighborhood governance and housing development in urban China. Recently she has also worked on gated communities\, social segregation\, and neighborhood attachment\, and has published in leading journals in urban studies and geography\, including Urban Studies\, Urban Geography\, and Geoforum.  \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96217779608 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

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

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: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
