SUMMARY:Film Screenings - The Face of Time: Recent Films by Tsai Ming-Liang
DESCRIPTION:Rare and valuable is the filmmaker who expands one’s conception of the cinematic art; rarer still is the filmmaker who enlarges one’s notion of the term “director.” Malaysian-born\, Taiwan-based auteur Tsai Ming-liang (b. 1957) accomplished the former with his rigorous\, uncompromising and reputation-defining features of the nineties and early 2000s\, and ever since his self-declared retirement from narrative filmmaking after 2013’s Stray Dogs\, he has been anything but inactive while exploring the endless permutations of what it means to be an image maker in the 21st century. Among the many formally adventurous international filmmakers who have struck out for greener pastures in the past decade upon finding the commercial prospects of arthouse cinema distribution increasingly deficient\, Tsai has dabbled in the gallery space\, the black box theater\, virtual reality and the independently run exhibition space as venues to both showcase his uncategorizable work and influence how he produces it. Along the way\, he has transformed his very approach to capturing filmic material\, and where once a pithy precis for his films existed—Antonioni-esque studies of alienated Taiwanese youth\, for instance—there is no longer such a firm summary for exactly what a Tsai Ming-liang project looks like or how it operates.Tsai Ming-Liang and his collaborators will appear in person at film screenings on October 10 and 14.For more information on this series\, including a complete listing of showtimes and information on purchasing tickets\, visit https://harvardfilmarchive.org/programs/the-face-of-time-recent-films-by-tsai-ming-liang.  \n\n\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Harvard Film Archive and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Urban China Series featuring Yang Zhan - "Keep Moving\, Little Bees!": Real Estate Promotion and the Financial Roots of Urban Precariousness in China
DESCRIPTION:Join zoom meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yang Zhan\, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology\, The Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityDevelopers in China’s real estate industry organize temporary workers\, or “little bees\,” to promote sales. Most developers rely on high-interest loans\, and must repay their creditors as quick as possible to keep the chain of funding intact\, reduce risk\, and secure profits. Thus\, little bees are pushed to sell quicker\, rather than to sell more units. Due to this hyper-financialization\, time on the market becomes a key management target. The little bees aim to convert random encounters on the street into meaningful business relationships. This conversion is facilitated by maps\, numbers and speculative culture. Moreover\, the demands on sales time are exploitative because in the Chinese real estate market there is a discrepancy between agency and responsibility: Even though little bees’ daily movements are beyond their control\, they shoulder immense responsibility\, suffer from physical and psychological stress\, and are fired at little cost to management. Analyzing this entanglement with time and financialization provides critical insight into urban precariousness in China. \n\n\n\nYang Zhan is an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology in the Department of Applied Social Sciences at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. She was selected a research fellow of China India Institute at New School for Social Research in 2021. Zhan’s research interests include infrastructure of development\, urbanization and migration\, mobility and temporality\, voluntarism and anthropological theory.  Zhan is the winner of 2020 Eduard B. Vermeer Prize for the Best Article and was shortlisted for Holland Prize in 2022. Zhan’s articles have appeared in Urban Studies\, Cities\, Positions\, Dialectical Anthropology\, Urban Anthropology\, Anthropological Forum\, China Information\, Pacific Affairs\, among others. Zhan is currently working on a book manuscript tentatively titled Brutal Temporary: Venturing Migrants and the Politics of Future on China’s Urban Fringe. \n\n\n\nWe would like to thank the MIT Sustainable Urbanization Lab\, the School of Community and Regional Planning at the University of British Columbia\, and the Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. for supporting this event.  Please subscribe to our mailing list if you’d like to receive e-mail notifications: http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/urbanchinaseminar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Christine Wong - Local Finance Under Siege: Unpacking the Paralysis of Fiscal Policy on the Eve of the 20th Party Congress
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Christine Wong\, National University of Singapore \n\n\n\nLocal finances are under stress.  In the first seven months of 2022 tax revenues were down 14%\, and land revenues 32%\, yet payroll and other expenditures have to be met\, including the Covid-related bills for mass testing and other containment measures.  Since 2021 social media has been flooded with posts reporting steep pay cuts for civil servants even in rich coastal regions.  National aggregate data show social spending trending downward in GDP-shares.  This seminar looks at the crisis in local finance that has accelerated through the pandemic\, with local governments increasingly underfunded and tied down by contradictory policies.  I will argue that local fiscal problems caused the government to under-deliver on its announced fiscal stimulus programs in both 2020 and 2021\, a scenario on-track to be repeated in 2022 despite the massive injection of special project bonds.  \n\n\n\nChristine Wong is currently Visiting Research Professor at the East Asia Institute\, National University of Singapore.  She has previously taught at the Schwarzman College at Tsinghua University\, the University of Melbourne\, Oxford\, University of Washington\, University of California at Santa Cruz and Berkeley\, and at Mount Holyoke College.  She has also held senior positions at the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. Christine has published widely on China’s public finance and rural development.  Her recent publications include “Reforming public finance for the new era” (CPC Futures)\, “Why China’s 2022 fiscal stimulus will fall short” (EAI Commentary No. 53)\, “China’s 2022 budget and the fate of local government finance” (EAI Background Brief No. 1644)\, and “Plus ça Change: Three Decades of Fiscal Policy and Central–Local Relations in China” (China – an International Journal). \n\n\n\nWe would like to thank the MIT Sustainable Urbanization Lab\, the School of Community and Regional Planning at the University of British Columbia\, and the Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. for supporting this event.  Please subscribe to our mailing list if you’d like to receive e-mail notifications: http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/urbanchinaseminar. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Youth Political Mobilization & Socialization in Contemporary China: The Centenary of the Communist Youth League
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the official establishment of the Chinese Communist Youth League (中国共产主义青年团\, CYL)\, one of the largest youth political organizations in the world. As the Chinese Communist Party’s assistant and reserve force\, the CYL is the Party’s main channel to socialize youth in the official political discourse and practices\, and mobilize them to support the current system. Despite the importance of the organization\, English-language academic work on its history\, politics and multifaceted role in contemporary China remains sporadic.The CYL’s centenary offers an opportunity to bring together scholars from different disciplines to discuss their research and insights on Chinese youth political socialization and mobilization\, with particular attention to the League and connected youth organizations. The Ash Center\, working with Dr. Jérôme Doyon (University of Edinburgh)\, Dr. Sofia Graziani (University of Trento) and Dr. Konstantinos Tsimonis (King’s College London)\, is pleased to organize an online seminar\, taking place on September 8th and 9th\, examining emerging scholarship related to communist youth organizations in China.  \n\n\n\nEvent Schedule Thursday\, September 8th • Introduction: 8:20-8:30 AM by Tony Saich\, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs\, Harvard Kennedy School • Panel 1: The Mobilization of Youth during the Chinese Communist Party’s Early Years: 8:30-10:30 AM  • Panel 2: The Socialization and Co-optation of Young Chinese: 11:00 AM-1:00 PMFriday\, September 9th  • Panel 3: Youth Organizations and State-Society Relations: 8:30-10:30 AM • Panel 4: Youth Narratives and Propaganda: 11:00 AM-1:00 PM • Concluding Remarks: 1:00-1:15 PM with Stanley Rosen\, Professor of Political Science from the University of Southern CaliforniaDay 2 registration link: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0YAGp8NPRjyltJQPKgD1TQ\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

In the dynamic period of political and cultural transformation\, the division and collision of different ideologies contributed to Zhang Kaiji’s architectural practice. In his 71 years of profession\, he synthesized different ideologies and design theories\, practiced with a wide range of typologies\, focused on various issues of the built environment\, and elevated the professional and technical exploration to a humanistic\, social and historical level. \n\n\n\nOn the occasion of the 110th anniversary of Mr. Zhang Kaiji’s birth and the upcoming release of the new book “Architect Zhang Kaiji”\, Harvard CAMLab China Builders Project launched this Academic Symposium. This event was academically convened by Professor Jeff Cody and Professor Wu Jiang. It is an honor to invite architect Chang Yung Ho\, son of Zhang Kaiji\, Professor Cheng Lizhen\, the author of “Architect Zhang Kaiji”\, Professor Lai Delin\, the foreword writer of “Architect Zhang Kaiji”\, and many other influential scholars. Starting from this new book\, we will focus on Zhang Kaiji’s influence on Chinese modern architecture and urban planning\, and more importantly\, the underlying social\, cultural and economic context in the 1950s\, as well as the meaning of “New Architecture for New China” in a broader context. \n\n\n\nSchedule:(120mins in total) \n\n\n\nPart I Introduction 10minsIntroduction to Harvard CAMLab\, Symposium\, Panelists\, Topic and Background \n\n\n\nPart II Panel Talk 55minsEach Convenor/Panelist will have 10 mins to address the topic with their related research. \n\n\n\nPart III Discussion and Q&A 45minsAcademic Convenors will summarize panel talks and start the discussion and the group dialogue. \n\n\n\nPart IV Event Summary 10mins \n\n\n\nSymposium in both Chinese and English with Simultaneous InterpretingThis virtual workshop is open to the public with registration.

SUMMARY:Lessons for East Asia from Eastern Europe’s Economic Challenges and Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:Lajos Bokros\, Professor at Central European University and former Minister of Finance of HungaryMarcin Piatkowski\, Professor at Kozminski University\, author of Europe’s Growth Champion\, and former visiting scholar at Harvard’s Center for European StudiesDwight Perkins\, Professor Emeritus in the Harvard Economics Department\, former Director of the Fairbank Center and the Harvard Institute for International Development \n\n\n\nModerated by: Richard Yarrow\, Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School and Visiting Fellow at the National University of Singapore \n\n\n\nIn the 1980s\, Eastern European economies were stagnant or in decline. Mass shortages and unemployment combined with decaying institutions to throw economies and societies in turmoil. Three decades later\, Eastern Europe has transformed. Of the 23 countries to become high income since 1992\, nine are in Eastern Europe. In the 1980s\, Poland had a lower per capita GDP than Suriname; today\, the total GDP of the EU states in Eastern Europe is larger than the GDP of Russia. In much of the region\, corruption has declined\, while education\, health\, and other social and economic indicators have improved.How did these changes occur\, and what dilemmas did Eastern European countries encounter during the transformation of their economies and institutions? This webinar brings experts from across Eastern Europe to discuss causes behind Eastern Europe’s economic problems\, and the challenges of rejuvenating economies and institutions after the end of the Cold War. In doing so\, panelists will discuss the potential lessons that East Asian countries can learn from the challenges and successes of Eastern Europe’s economic reforms and transformation. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis event is the second part of a two-part series of panels. One can register for the first part\, on governing challenges\, at https://nus-sg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_IVgHUfzMQAiGAnef7aNwLQ?timezone_id=America%2FNew_York. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Lessons for East Asia from Eastern Europe’s Institutional Changes and Governing Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:Bojan Bugarič\, Professor at the University of Sheffield and former Deputy Interior Minister of SloveniaLance Liangping Gore\, Senior Research Fellow at the NUS East Asian InstituteJacques Rupnik\, Professor at CERI-Sciences Po and former advisor to President Vaclav Havel and to the European Commission \n\n\n\nModerated by: Richard Yarrow\, Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School and Visiting Fellow at the National University of Singapore \n\n\n\nIn the 1980s\, governing systems of Eastern Europe were in a state of turmoil. Few people trusted political leaders or regimes’ ideologies. Large\, little-changed bureaucracies were unable to cope with growing pressure for social and economic improvement. By the late 1980s\, widespread protests shook political systems across the region\, leading to a period of steady\, inconsistent political changes and reform attempts across the region.Thirty years after the first elections following the end of the Warsaw Pact\, what can countries in Asia learn from the governing challenges and development of new political institutions in Eastern Europe? This webinar brings experts on Eastern European politics to discuss causes of political turmoil in the 1980s\, the challenges of reforming Eastern Europe’s political structures\, and why Eastern European countries experienced varied outcomes in their institutional development. Through this analysis\, panelists will comment on lessons for East Asia to learn from Eastern Europe’s political changes. \n\n\n\nThis event is the first part of a two-part series of panels.

SUMMARY:Jun Jing - Meaningful Dying and End of Life Care in China
DESCRIPTION:Topics:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImproving end of life care in China represents one particularly important opportunity to enhance the well-being of the country’s older adult population as they enter their final phase of life. Designing effective end of life care policies and programs for Chinese communities necessitates asking fundamental questions about the factors that enable people to die meaningfully\, including: \n\n\n\nDoes meaningful death signify only what is good for people themselves as individuals?How does one know what is best for oneself?What roles do doctors or families play in making critical end of life decisions?Is personal autonomy the sole criterion for advanced care planning?\n\n\n\nTo answer these questions\, Dr. Jun JING\, Professor of Social Anthropology at Tsinghua University\, will discuss narratives on death and dying in mainland China based on hundreds of interviews conducted with family relatives\, physicians\, nurses\, social workers\, and voluntary workers in the field of palliative care. Dr. Jing will explore how these narratives relate to what he calls the “social ecology of healthcare\,” defined as the social values governing healthcare systems\, life-and-death decisions\, and the corresponding behavioral patterns. \n\n\n\nThe event will be moderated by Dr. Winnie Yip\, Professor of Global Health Policy and Economics and Faculty Director of the Harvard China Health Partnership. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Roselyn Hsueh - Micro-Institutional Foundations of Capitalism: Sectoral Pathways to Globalization in China\, India\, and Russia
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roselyn Hsueh\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, Temple University \nHsueh will discuss how her book’s Strategic Value Framework shows that the perceived strategic value orientation of state elites rooted in significant phases of internal and external pressures shape dominant patterns of market governance\, which vary by country and sector within country. Specifically\, Hsueh’s research demonstrates techno-security developmentalism in China has shaped bifurcated capitalism\, which governs dual-use capital- and knowledge-intensive versus labor-intensive industries. In India\, neoliberal self-reliance has determined the bifurcated liberalism\, which grounds transnationally networked high-tech versus rural\, small-scale sectors. A bifurcated oligarchy governs defense and resource-oriented versus labor-intensive sectors in Russia shaped by resource security nationalism. \nAsh Center Director Tony Saich will moderate. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/8116415902412/WN_fzVkW01gRZS2iw01RSUJcw \n\n \nMore information: https://ash.harvard.edu/event/book-talk-micro-institutional-foundations-capitalism-sectoral-pathways-globalization-china

SUMMARY:Victoria Chen - Coastal Formosan\, Nuclear Austronesian\, and beyond: How do Formosan languages Inform Theories of Austronesian Expansion?
DESCRIPTION:Topics:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Indigenous languages of Taiwan feature two patterns of morphological discrepancy. First\, only some possess a symmetrical morphological paradigm associated with a phenomenon known as ‘noun-verb homophony’. Second\, only a handful of the languages allow the Proto-Austronesian stative affix ma- to be used in a transitive clause. This talk addresses how these two foci of variation inform our understanding of the Austronesian diaspora and further explains how new comparative data on these phenomena offers a simpler answer to two ongoing debates in the field. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:David Cheng Chang - Escaping From the Communists and Then From the Anti-Communists: A Prisoner’s Odyssey From Southwest China to Korea\, India\, and Argentina
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David Cheng Chang\, Division of Humanities\, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; HYI-Radcliffe Institute Fellow\, 2021-22\nChair/discussant: Arunabh Ghosh\,  Associate Professor of History\, Harvard University \nBy the end of the Korean War\, only 88 out of more than 150\,000 Chinese and North Korean prisoners of war (POWs) refused to return to either side of their divided countries; instead\, they sought asylum in neutral nations.

SUMMARY:Yangyang Cheng - Those Who Fall Behind Get Beaten Up: Can Science Build a Strong China?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yangyang Cheng\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Yale Law School; Columnist at SupChina. \nFrom the last Chinese empire to the current People’s Republic\, generations of politicians and intellectuals have sought advanced science and technology to build a strong China. They pondered the relationship between East and West\, tradition and modernity\, national allegiance and cosmopolitan ideals. Their efforts have shaped the path of China’s development and mapped the contours of Chinese identity. \nIn this talk\, I will trace their accomplishments and regrets\, as well as lessons for today\, through the lives of two men from my hometown of Hefei\, born a century apart. One was late Qing’s most revered statesman. The other is one of the first two Nobel laureates from China. As the role of science and technology becomes one of the most contentious issues in U.S.-China relations\, their stories teach about the forces that propelled China’s rise\, the ways lives can be squeezed by geopolitics\, and the risks of using science for state power. \nYangyang Cheng is a particle physicist and essayist. Her writings have appeared in The New York Times\, MIT Technology Review\, and ChinaFile\, among other publications. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Yale Law School and a columnist at SupChina.| \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://asiacenter.harvard.edu/events/those-who-fallbehind-get-beaten-up-can-science-build-a-strong-china-1454 \nPart of the Science and Technology in Asia Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Nancy Steinhardt - Convergence and Entanglement:  Reconsidering the Mongol Architectural Narrative
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nancy Steinhardt\, Professor of East Asian Art and Curator of Chinese Art\, University of Pennsylvania \nAmong approximately four hundred buildings that survive in China from the period of Mongolian rule\, 1271-1368\, about one percent have features that sharply distinguish them from the rest: a pagoda\, a minaret\, an observatory\, a mausoleum\, and rock-carved architecture are examples. The pagoda\, minaret\, and observatory are put forth in any study that seeks to prove the infiltration of foreign architecture into China during the Mongol century.\nWe are pleased to invite Professor Nancy Steinhardt\, Professor of East Asian Art at UPenn and Curator of Chinese Art at the University of Pennsylvania Museum\, to present part of her work on the narrative of Chinese architecture during Mongolian rule.\nThis lecture\, “Convergence and Entanglement: Reconsidering the Mongol Architectural Narrative” re-examines these buildings and their relation in the scope of Chinese architecture. The five buildings featured in this talk calls for a reconsideration of the impact of Mongolian rule on Chinese architecture\, guided by the themes of convergence and entanglement. The lecture comes as part of CAMLab Embodied Architecture project\, endeavoring to highlight the work of Chinese architects. \nNancy Steinhardt is Professor of East Asian Art and Curator of Chinese Art at the University of Pennsylvania where she has taught since 1982. She received her PhD at Harvard in 1981 and was a Junior Fellow at Harvard from 1978-81. Steinhardt taught at Bryn Mawr from 1981-1982. She has broad research interests in the art and architecture of China and China’s border regions\, particularly problems that result from the interaction between Chinese art and that of peoples to the North\, Northeast\, and Northwest. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ORWTbEjCRr6ByTiAXdGwDg

SUMMARY:Aging in China: Labor Participation\, Retirement\, Pension and Long-term Care Insurance
DESCRIPTION:China’s population is ageing rapidly at a rate that surpasses most of its Asian neighbors and advanced economies in the West. In 2015\, 10.5% of the population was aged 65+\, and this number is projected to grow to 26.1% by 2050. Evidencing increases in life expectancy\, the growth of the 80+ population from 22 million (or 1.5%) in 2015 to an expected 115 million (or 8.2%) by 2050 is particularly consequential. The challenges presented by the ageing of China’s population are vast and complex.

SUMMARY:A Symposium on Displacement and Convergence in the Age of Multipolarity (550s–610s)
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will be a multi-disciplinary examination of the displacement and diasporic communities during the period between 550s and 610s\, from the fall of the Liang through the end of the Sui. While scholarship in the past has tended to concentrate on only one side of the Northern and Southern Dynasties histories and literatures\, we hope to expand our view from the simple binary model of north and south to include the multiple sites of power and to emphasize the multi-polarity of this age from a decentered perspective. How did the master narratives of different court centers compete with one another? How did individual\, clan\, and state negotiate with the violent changes of the times and with one another at this particular historical juncture? How did the machinery of the state deal with a newly unified empire after nearly three hundred years of division? What can we gain as medievalists if we examine the limitations of our tools and methodologies imprinted with the modern disciplinary divide and its theoretical underpinnings? These are some of the questions we will address. \nFor more information\, visit the symposium website. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJclcuyurz8pE9LmR_l3FfeYhSsYq6NQ-yKX
