SUMMARY:Harvard Film Archive Film Screening - Tabooed Initiation: Two Early Films by Mou Tun-Fei
DESCRIPTION:I Didn’t Dare Tell You / Bugan gen ni jiang\, 78 minutes\, Taiwan\, 1969. Mandarin with English subtitles.\nThe End of the Track / Pao Dao Zhongdian\, 90 minutes\, Taiwan\, 1970. Mandarin with English subtitles. \nRecently discovered by the Taiwan Film & Audiovisual Institute\, I Didn’t Dare Tell You and The End of the Track debuted at the 2018 Taiwan International Documentary Festival and have since toured the world. Encompassing a wide affective spectrum—from repressed yearning to mournful regrets\, from abusive love to homoerotic desire—they represent the tabooed initiation of a visionary director whose versatile career has yet to be fully appreciated. \nThis virtual series was curated and coordinated by Harvard University’s East Asian Film & Media Working Group. \nFor more information on each film\, as well as virtual screening information\, visit https://watchhfa.eventive.org/welcome.

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. This session examines the effect of ageing on economic growth\, labor market decisions and the opportunities and challenges in financing elder care to meet the needs of the ageing population. \nThis session brings together leading experts to share their research on these important issues. The session will start with a brief introduction by Winnie Yip\, followed by four presentations and commentaries and moderated discussions with discussants. There will be plenty of time for exchanges and interactions with the online audience as well. \nFor more information\, visit https://www.healtheconomics.org/page/PreCongressSessionJuly8-12pm-2pmGMT.

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

SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar featuring Wu Hung - Unearthing Wu Daozi (c. 686 – c. 760)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wu Hung\, University of Chicago \nWorshipped by later folk artists as the God of Painting\, Wu Daozi (c. 686 – c. 760) was also praised by Tang art historian Zhang Yanyuan as someone who “did not look back and will have no successors.” But alas this Sage of Painting (Hua Sheng) left no work to us (imagine if we could only read about Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo\, or know Du Fu and Li Bo only by reputation). Can archaeology remedy this unfortunate situation as it has done for so many other fields from classical philosophy to ancient science? This talk suggests that a set of newly discovered imperial tomb murals (so new that they are still being conserved in a museum lab) may allow us to approach Wu’s style more closely than ever before\, and also leads us to problematize the concept of authorship in Tang painting. \nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYrf–opjsqEtMtPaFa8anuUbAYGJ7Vm_vv

SUMMARY:Sarah Laursen - The Invisible Outsider: Non-Chinese “Chinese” Art in the Harvard Art Museums
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sarah Laursen\, Alan J. Dworsky Associate Curator of Chinese Art\, Harvard Art Museum \nThe Harvard Art Museums’ database identifies over 6\,600 objects in the collection as “Chinese.” But are they really? At least one third of China’s dynastic history—from its unification by the first emperor in 221 BCE until the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1912—took place under foreign rule. Even when an emperor could claim Han Chinese ancestry\, his domain was frequently home to sizeable non-Chinese populations. This talk will explore the identities of so-called “Chinese” objects in the collection that might more rightly be associated with groups like the Xianbei. The logic behind the categories of “culture” and “place” in museum metadata will also be considered\, along with possibilities for increasing the visibility of the ethnic minorities all too often erased from Chinese art history. \nRegister for Zoom meeting link

SUMMARY:Lin Chaochao - Rethinking the Making of the Chinese Working Class after 1949
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lin Chaochao\, Department of History\, Fudan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\nChair/discussant: Elizabeth Perry\, Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University; Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute \nThe year 1949 marked a watershed in Chinese working-class history. With rapid industrialization\, the policy inclination of the state brought great changes to all aspects of the working-class: their size and composition\, job security\, labor insurance\, and the housing\, medical care\, education and cultural benefits they can enjoy. Because of the relationship of production and exploitation which is different from the classical class theory\, the real existence of the working class under the planned system is often questioned. Researchers are more likely to regard it as the class shaped by politics than the class subject with independent consciousness. This talk is not only a reflection on the theoretical logic of class formation\, but also a reflection on the real historical experience of the Chinese working class. Based on the discussion of several controversial issues\, this study would like to find out the pattern and the path of the Chinese working-class formation after 1949. \nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/rethinking-the-making-of-the-chinese-working-class-after-1949/ \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5sASphqhv6BkbvE
