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.

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

SUMMARY:From the May Fourth to Baodiao: Defend the Diaoyu Islands Movement 1971-2021 海上風雷：五四論保釣，1971-2021
DESCRIPTION:This forum will be conducted in Mandarin \nIn 1971\, overseas Chinese students across the United States launched the Baodiao movement in response to the territorial disputes over the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands between Mainland China\, Taiwan\, Japan\, and the United States. The movement ignited massive demonstrations and debates on issues from sovereignty to territoriality\, and form patriotism to global leftism\, such that it was compared to the May Fourth Movement. Fifty years after the movement\, veteran participants\, scholars\, and students will discuss its significance and impacts on contemporary cultural politics. \nSpeakers:\n劉大任 Liu Ta-jen\n張系國 Chang Hsi-kuo\n邵玉銘 Shaw Yu-ming\n黃子平 Huang Ziping\n蕭阿勤 Hsiao Ah-Chin\, Academia Sinica\n王智明 Wang Chih-ming\, Academia Sinica \nRespondents:\n陳芳代  Chen Fangdai\, Harvard University\n鍾秩維  Chung Chih-wei\, National Taiwan University\n李浴洋  Li Yuyang\, Beijing Normal University\n涂航  Tu Hang\, Harvard University \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8iJrUrbVQoaxAYJovBoO0w

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

SUMMARY:David Mervart - The Missing Colonial Empire: Reading European Histories from within the Sinosphere
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David Mervart\, Associate Professor in Japanese History\, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM)\, Spain\nModerator: David Howell\, Robert K. and Dale J. Weary Professor of Japanese History and Chair\, Dept. of East Asian Languages and Civilizations (EALC)\, Harvard University \nThis talk proposes to take stock of the conceptual vocabulary which early Japanese observers and commentators resorted to when trying to describe and understand the historical trajectory of what we now so self-evidently perceive as an ‘imperial’ expansion of the western powers’ dominion around the world. \nBy the late eighteenth century\, there existed a well-established convention to translate western modes of universal sovereignty (Kayzer\, Caesar\, Tsar\, Imperator) into the equally universalist nomenclature of the post-classical Chinese political theology. By extension\, it had become perfectly possible to speak of an ‘emperor-land’ (Ch: diguo; J: teikoku) as a general type of polity. Yet\, despite these conditions of translatability by means of such comparative political vocabulary\, curiously\, the expansion of European powers over the globe was not described in the language of Sino-Japanese equivalent of ‘empire’. \nGiven that Japanese commentators did not see the conquest and settlement of the non-European world as an instance of empire\, what conceptual vocabulary did they use? Which is really to ask: What class of known historical events serving as a general precedent did they suggest the exploits of the Occidentals to be an intuitive instance of? Querying a range of primary sources from the 1790s–1840s\, this talk will try to offer some answers while sketching an alternative\, historically documented way of articulating the ‘age of empire’. \nReischauer Institute Japan Forum Lecture Series \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAuc-GorDMuHNOzItWEpM9zgGBqDpUMMhVq

SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar featuring Paula Varsano - Troubled Hearts and Worried Minds: Knowing the Subjects of the "Airs of the States”
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Paula Varsano\, University of California\, Berkeley \nIn a moment when digital humanities\, distant reading\, manuscript studies\, and a variety of historical and political lenses invite us to look at literature as a manifestation of larger and\, sometimes\, impersonal cultural forces\, this talk takes up a different constellation of questions:  how does one recognize and define the presumed poetic subject in early Chinese poetry\, and how does it function as an object of understanding\, as an entity whose voice we continue to seem to hear\, whose words we endlessly examine? This talk will home in on the nascent lyric subject already evident in the “Airs of the States” of the Book of Odes\, or Shijing. Specifically\, it will explore how particular figural devices create meaning primarily through indeterminacy\, enriching the seemingly easy legibility of the archetypal lovelorn maiden\, the wandering soldier\, or the misunderstood friend with the hidden depths of a three-dimensional subject. \nPaula Varsano\, Professor of Chinese Literature at the University of California\, Berkeley\, specializes in classical poetry and poetics from the third through the eleventh centuries\, with particular interest in literature and subjectivity\, the evolution of spatial representation in poetry\, and the history and poetics of traditional literary criticism. Among her publications are: Tracking the Banished Immortal: The Poetry of Li Bo and its Critical Reception (Hawaii\, 2003) and The Rhetoric of Hiddenness in Traditional Chinese Culture (SUNY\, 2016). She is currently completing Knowing and Being Known: The Lyric Subject in Traditional Chinese Poetry and Poetics. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUof-iqrDkrEtH9z_-tgweek_mGAX1bWlYw

SUMMARY:The Stories We Tell and the Objects We Keep: Asian American Women and the Archives
DESCRIPTION:The stories of Asian American women extend far beyond the geographic borders of the United States. Inspired by tales and objects from family history\, their narratives often reflect the transnational nature of Asian American women’s lives. Despite the importance of these narratives to expanding and complicating our understanding of war\, migration\, inequity\, and difference\, the accounts and perspectives of Asian American women have often been overlooked in formal records\, and the tangible objects providing critical evidence of their histories have been ignored. \nThis program will bring together Asian American activists and artists\, including novelists\, filmmakers\, and photographers\, to share the stories that inspire their craft and the objects they retain as part of their personal histories. \n“The Stories We Tell and the Objects We Keep” reflects the Radcliffe Institute’s commitment to revealing complete\, balanced\, and diverse histories of women in America. \nYou can register for this event by visiting www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/event/2020-stories-we-tell-objects-we-keep-conference-virtual.

SUMMARY:Robert Morrison - Scientific Exchange at the Courts of Mehmed II and Bayezid II
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Robert Morrison\, Professor and Chair\, Department of Religion\, Bowdoin College \nThe courts of the Ottoman sultans Mehmed II (d. 1481) and Bayezid II (d. 1512) were\, on one hand\, the site of significant developments of earlier scientific traditions inherited from Iran and Central Asia. On the other hand\, scholars at the Ottoman court were more interested than their predecessors in the scientific culture of contemporary non-Islamic societies. Important science came east while the science of Islamic societies traveled west. In this lecture\, Professor Morrison will describe some of the content of the science but focus on the cultural dynamics that facilitated this remarkable scientific exchange which had a lasting impact on the European Renaissance. \nRegister for Zoom meeting link

SUMMARY:Erin Y. Huang - Ocean Media:  South China Sea and Gilles Deleuze’s Desert Islands
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Erin Y. Huang\, Assistant Professor of East Asian Studies and Comparative Literature\, Princeton University \n“Humans can live on an island only by forgetting what an island represents\,” writes Deleuze in his short essay “Desert Islands” (îles déserte; huangdao; mujintō; no-man island). But what does an island truly represent (that for Deleuze means the constant strife between the earth’s elements)? What is producing the culture of forgetting? And why do islands appear deserted even when they are inhabited? In recent years when the large-scale Chinese state-led artificial islanding (rengong zaodao) in the South China Sea created an international territorial dispute\, caused by new experimentations with the limit of the early modern European legal concept of the “free sea” (coined by the seventeenth-century Dutch philosopher Hugo Grotius)\, these questions that Deleuze raised in the 1950s return as the definition of the “island” increasingly gravitates toward the “technologies of islanding” that are reshaping the operations of global financial and military power. Transforming the “island” into free treaty ports\, military vessels and bases\, logistics cities\, and special economic zones\, islanding\, rather than insularity\, is at the heart of the critical infrastructure of global circulation. Bringing together the methodological approaches of infrastructure and media studies and the island writings of Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze\, this talk explores a new genealogy of island critique\, from Danial Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe that marks the beginning of British maritime power to the contemporary American satellite surveillance network on Asian oceans (e.g. AMTI’s “Island Tracker”) and the expansion of Chinese infrastructural empire that is creating new conflict shorelines. Rather than defining “ocean media” at the outset\, this examination probes what we mean by “media” in the context of understanding capital’s creation of “environment\,” and the new conceptualizations of “Europe” (old centers of maritime power) and “Asia” (new experimenters of existing colonial techniques). \nErin Y. Huang is assistant professor of East Asian Studies and Comparative Literature and an associated faculty of Gender & Sexuality Studies at Princeton University. She is the author of Urban Horror: Neoliberal Post-Socialism and the Limits of Visibility (Duke University Press\, 2020). She is currently working on her second book that focuses on maritime capitalism\, islanding\, special economic zones\, and feminist critiques of global logistics. \nThe talk is part of the East Asian Media Ecologies lecture series. \nPresented via Zoom\nLog on to: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/91834267809?pwd=Q3pCZVZBM3RXSzVwVlBFRC9aZz09SWNw

SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar Featuring Tina Lu - The Politics of Li Yu’s Xianqing ouji (Casual Expressions)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tina Lu\, Colonel John Trumbull Professor of East Asian Languages and Literatures\, Yale University \nWhen it comes to an understanding of the politics of literature and literary production\, our field is still largely dominated by Craig Clunas’ framework (itself largely adapted from Bourdieu). I am interested in considering the politics of Li Yu’s Xianqing ouji 閒情偶寄 (1671) not simply as a means for its author to climb up a social hierarchy but as a much more expansive political imagining. Many of the collection’s essays treat what are obviously political topics (for example\, behavior appropriate to people of different social standing)\, but I will argue that their form and language also demand consideration as political acts. \nPlease note that Professor Lu’s talk will be recorded and archived on the MHC and EALC websites. If you do not feel comfortable being recorded\, please disable your video. The Q&A session will not be recorded. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Mahindra Humanities Center and the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMtc-iopzwoG9KcANoTFgoQondjKok6oHAY
