SUMMARY:Mediating Religion: Text and Object in Chinese Religion
DESCRIPTION:9:30 AM     Workshop Opens \n9:45-10:45     Playing with Corpses: Assembling Bodies for the Dead in Southwest China \nSpeaker: Erik Mueggler\, University of Michigan \nThis paper describes the ritualization of death in a “minority” community in Yunnan Province\, China\, called Júzò in the local Tibeto-Burman language. Here\, people are heir to an extraordinary range of resources for working on the dead\, including abundant poetic language. Work on the dead takes the form of making them material and immaterial. Social personhood\, involving relations among living and dead\, is mutual entanglement through shared substance; dead persons are subjected to a long labor of disentanglement with the final goal of severing them from the shared world of matter and memory. Through work on the dead\, people assess social relations and envision the cosmological foundations of the social world. In this context\, a long history of official interventions meant to reform death ritual has been deeply consequential. \nThe focus of this paper is the assembly of fully social dead bodies in the reform era\, when death rituals were re-established after a hiatus of two decades.  To attend to the active fashioning of dead bodies is to build on the focus that the tradition of the anthropology of death has maintained on the corpse and its transformations\, while running counter to that tradition’s tendency to take dead bodies as given\, if problematic\, entities left over after death. In Júzò\, kinship begins with the assembly of dead bodies. Living bodies are made through generative relations of nurture and care; dead bodies are made through the materialization and actualization of ideal relations. Procreation and bodily health among humans and domestic animals and plants depends on life substance channeled through filial relations with dead parents. This process depends upon the successful fabrication of dead bodies out of idealized\, formal images of the relations in which the dead were once suspended in life. Through work on the dead\, the dead body is made into the image of an entire social world. This world contrasts with another social whole\, “society\,” the foundation of political discourse in the socialist era and post-socialist eras. \n11:00-12:00    Mother Ghost Seeks a Human Son-in-Law: Ghost Shrines in Taiwan \nSpeaker: Wei-ping Lin\, National Taiwan University \nThis article\, inspired by the studies of material religion\, reconsiders the concept of ghosts and the relationships they build with humans by means of a detailed analysis of a particular type of religious architecture\, namely the ghost shrine. Ghost shrines in Taiwan are usually located outside of settlements; compared to temples\, they are shabby\, isolated\, and off the beaten track. By studying the material composition\, naming\, and rites of these shrines\, this paper will show how ghosts are conceived of as asocial and individual beings\, gathering mostly in single-sexed groups. This forms the basis for understanding the central incident investigated here of a “mother ghost seeking a human son-in-law.” In contrast to previous research that describes human-ghost relations in terms of the troublemaking and threatening roles of ghosts\, this story importantly shows that it is not only ghosts who take advantage of human beings. Motivated by greed\, humans also cross the spatial boundary separating humans and ghosts to coerce the latter for their own selfish ends. By dramatizing the gender contrast of ghosts and humans\, the story of the mother ghost epitomizes people’s ridicule and condemnation of human greed. \n12:00 PM      Lunch on your own \n1:30-2:30     Envisioning Paradise: Maitreya’s Utopia in Medieval Mural Paintings at Dunhuang \nSpeaker: April Hughes\, Boston University \nMaitreya Buddha’s terrestrial paradise was one possible afterlife for medieval practitioners.  My paper considers how Maitreya’s earthly utopia was imagined visually in the cave-temple mural paintings at Dunhuang by examining the following episodes: the three assemblies; scenes related to the Wheel-Turning King; and scenes of daily life in the paradise.  I argue that in retelling the Maitreya story the artists established a distinct version of the narrative.  In these murals\, the painters not only opted to depict specific scenes from the broader Maitreya story\, they also modified and enhanced elements that were derived from the canonical scriptures. \n2:45-3:45     The Stuff of Power:  Politics\, Ideology\, and Virtue in China’s Mid-19th Century Civil War \nSpeaker: Tobie Meyer-Fong\, Johns Hopkins University \nA military handbook compiled in central China during the Taiping Civil War dedicates significant attention to the physical appearance\, practical function\, moral affinities\, and political power of material artifacts mobilized by or against the Taiping cause.  The objects are never presented as politically neutral; they reveal absolute ‘moral truths’ otherwise obscured by the fog of war. First\, the authors use things (of power) to elevate and denigrate the Taiping polity as an aspiring\, but ultimately failed\, dynastic regime.  To that end\, they catalogue and in many cases illustrate the politically charged objects in circulation in Taiping territory. At the same time\, the legitimacy of these politically charged artifacts had to be negated; they had to be fake\, flimsy\, or insufficient.  Second\, the authors use objects\, including food and clothing\, to document social and regional difference\, and thus to reveal the Taiping and their adherents as a core group of violent and uncouth savages surrounded by an outer layer of coerced captives looking to flee.  Finally\, the handbook describes manifestations of virtue in the material world by way of the strange behavior of objects\, including especially human remains. Here\, the textual representation of material objects produced moral and political boundaries between self and other\, orthodox and heterodox\, civilized and savage.  A consideration of how objects functioned in this text provides insight into how the authors of this text\, and by extension\, the Qing and their militia allies\, used “things” to articulate their ideological and strategic agendas in the context of the Taiping Civil War. \n4:00-5:00     Texts and Objects in Statues: New Vantage Points onto Chinese Local Religion \nSpeaker: James Robson\, Harvard University  \nOver the past ten years or so I have been involved with a large-scale collaborative research project on small polychrome statuettes from Hunan province.  The first phase of the project involved cataloguing five collections of statues that total around 8\,000 images.  Now that the cataloguing is completed we are able to move into the next phase of analysis. What is most distinctive—and of scholarly importance—about these images is that they have a small niche carved into the back that contains (among other things) materia medica and manuscripts that were interred at the time of consecration. The manuscripts provide us with an unprecedented amount of information about the date of the image\, its precise provenance\, the patrons\, and the reasons for the statue’s consecration. Scholars of Chinese religion are often frustrated by the fact their sources only allow them access to rather elite levels of practice. These statuettes\, dating from the Qing dynasty to the present\, however\, take us down to the level of village and even domestic religious practice.  In this talk\, I intend to tack back and forth between the documents inside of the statues and what we can know from other types of local sources to see what new vantage points they provide us onto the local religious landscape of Hunan province. I also intend to introduce some recent research the I have done on some of the non-textual objects inside the statues and how we might also utilize them in developing a more complete sense of the contours of that religious landscape.

SUMMARY:Paul W. Kroll - Personal Moments in Medieval Chinese Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Paul W. Kroll\, University of Colorado \nMedieval Chinese poetry\, like most self-consciously traditional literature\, embraces learning\, presumption\, and intertextuality with ardor. Scholarship delights to roam in these fields which provide rich fare for the mind. But those moments that suddenly engage the heart (a somewhat neglected organ in the postmodern era) affect us at a deeper level. It is for these irregular but personally cherished splendors and miseries that one continues to read throughout a lifetime. In this lecture readings and interpretations will be offered especially from two medieval poets with rather contradictory histories—Lu Zhaolin 盧照鄰 from the mid-seventh century and Jiang Yan 江淹 from the late fifth century. Reflecting on their works may also prod us to consider the critical limits latent in the reputed “death of the author.” \nPart of the Fairbank Center China Humanities Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Jennifer Rudolph and Michael Szonyi - The Coop Event Series/ "The China Questions" Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join the editors and contributors to The China Questions for a book launch at the Harvard Coop’s Event Series. \nMany books offer information about China\, but few make sense of what is truly at stake. The questions addressed in this unique volume provide a window onto the challenges China faces today and the uncertainties its meteoric ascent on the global horizon has provoked. \nIn only a few decades\, the most populous country on Earth has moved from relative isolation to center stage. Thirty-six of the world’s leading China experts—all affiliates of the renowned Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University—answer key questions about where this new superpower is headed and what makes its people and their leaders tick. They distill a lifetime of cutting-edge scholarship into short\, accessible essays about Chinese identity\, culture\, environment\, society\, history\, or policy. \nChina has already captured the world’s attention. The China Questions takes us behind media images and popular perceptions to provide insight on fundamental issues. \nJoin editors Jennifer Rudolph and Michael Szonyi\, and contributors Peter Bol\, Andrew Erickson\, Susan Greenhalgh\, Wai-yee Li\, and Karen Thornber\, at the Harvard Coop to discuss the book and the key questions it raises about China’s future. \nEditors \nJennifer Rudolph\, Associate Professor of Modern Chinese political History\, Worcester Polytechnic Institute \nMichael Szonyi\, Professor of Chinese History\, Harvard University \nContributors \nPeter Bol\, Vice Provost for Advances in Learning\, and Charles H Carswell Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard university \nAndrew Erickson\, Professor of Strategy\, Naval War College \nSusan Greenhalgh is Professor of Anthropology\, Harvard University \nWai-yee Li\, Professor of Chinese Literature\, Harvard University \nKaren Thornber\, Professor of Comparative Literature\, and East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \n

SUMMARY:Andrew Field - Nightlife in Shanghai: From the Jazz Age 1920s to the Current Age of the Super-Wealthy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrew Field\, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs\, Duke Kunshan University\, China \nIn the 1920s\, Shanghai became known worldwide for its nightlife as the city learned to dance to the rhythms of the American jazz age. The war years of the 1940s and the Communist Revolution of the 1950s put an end to the city’s dance halls and cabarets\, but the reform era of the 1980s saw the revival of dancing in the city. By the 1990s\, more sophisticated discos\, bars\, and lounges arose in the city as it internationalized. More recently\, a caste of super-wealthy Chinese known as fu er dai (“wealthy second generation”) has taken over the most exclusive club spaces in the city\, spending thousands of dollars per night\, and signifying the growing gap between wealth and poverty in China. \nAndrew Field (B.A.\, Asian Studies\, Dartmouth College; Ph.D.\, East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University) has taught at universities in America\, Australia\, China\, and Korea\, and is currently Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs at Duke Kunshan University in China. He is the author of Shanghai’s Dancing World: Cabaret Culture and Urban Politics (2010) and Mu Shiying: China’s Lost Modernist (2014)\, and co-author with James Farrer of Shanghai Nightscapes: A Nocturnal Biography of a Global City (2015).

SUMMARY:Wang Liping - More than Affirmative Action: China’s Preferential Policy in Historical and Comparative Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wang Liping\,  Peking University; Visiting Scholar\, Harvard-Yenching Institute\nChair/discussant: Lei Ya-Wen\,  Harvard University \nWith the ethical appeal of equality and justice as well as a more cohesive society\, affirmative action has been in place for many years around the world. Such measures\, going by various names depending on the context and perceived acceptability\, have attained their goals to varying degrees in different countries even though the debates around them are never silenced. In many countries adopting such policies\, the political logic of preferential policies has long influenced policy construction and a dilemma ensues: affirmative policies are enduring or even expanding while doubts and questions about such measures are bubbling up. With the rapid increase in diversity in many dimensions\, old and new\, the situation in China is more pressing. The talk will focus on China’s preferential policies in historical and comparative perspective\, hoping to gain a better understanding of such policies and to advance more constructive discussions about the affirmative action dilemma in China and beyond. \nHarvard-Yenching Institute lunch talk \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/more-affirmative-action-china-s-preferential-policy-historical-and-comparative-perspective \n  \n

SUMMARY:Those Waters Giving Way
DESCRIPTION:An overview of Michael Cherney’s artistic process and recent works. The art combines photography with the subject matter\, aesthetics\, materials and formats traditionally associated with classical Chinese painting\, which allows for viewing the present day environment and landscape in China through the lens of art history. In addition to the presentation\, the artist will guide the audience through viewing several handscrolls\, albums and other works \n“One would be hard-pressed to find a ‘more Chinese’ artist than Qiu Mai (Michael Cherney). Photographer\, calligrapher\, and book artist\, Qiu Mai’s work is done with the great sophistication that draws on the subtleties of China’s most scholarly and esoteric traditions. Based in Beijing and a successful artist whose works have been collected by The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Department of Asian Art (the first photographic works ever to enter the collection of that department)\, Qiu Mai’s art is less provocative than it is intellectually engaging\, meditative\, and often simply beautiful.  What is provocative is his identity:  Qiu Mai is the Chinese name for Michael Cherney\, born in New York of Jewish parentage. Cherney’s work is the cutting-edge demonstration of artistic globalization:  if Asian artists can so readily ‘come West\,’ then what is to prevent large numbers of future Western artists from ‘going Asian’? Or\, like Qiu Mai/Michael Cherney\, going both ways at once\, both American and Chinese\, modern and traditional.”\n– Jerome Silbergeld\, P. Y. and Kinmay W. Tang Professor of Chinese Art History\, Princeton University \nCo-sponsored by the Harvard-China Project

SUMMARY:Evelyn (Chiung-yun) Liu - When Fantastic Narrative Encounters Empirical Knowledge: Imagining the World in "The Eunuch Sanbao's Voyage to the Western Ocean"
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Evelyn (Chiung-yun) Liu\,  Academia Sinica\, HYI Visiting Scholar \nThe Eunuch Sanbao’s Voyage to the Western Ocean\, a late-sixteenth century novel loosely based on the historical expeditions commanded by Zheng He (1371-1433)\, is a peculiar mixture of factual accounts of foreign lands and fantastic narrative. In this work\, popular Buddhist and Daoist figures living in a mythological landscape encounter a new worldview based on firsthand geographical accounts of maritime voyages recorded as early as the fourteenth century. While the novel is often regarded as a literary failure\, a hodgepodge in which the author imitates and copies earlier texts and jumbles them together\, this talk proposes to understand such “failure” as a multi-faceted response to the rapidly expanding cognitive sphere of that time. Taking the novel as a cultural product of the late Ming book market\, we will examine the author’s choices of source materials in connection to his target reader\, the strategies he employs to maneuver between the exotic and the familiar\, and the epistemological disjunctions he faces in the attempt to create a narrative that encompasses “the end of the Western Ocean.”  We will also look at the possible changes in the conception of “the world” revealed through the ways in which the author negotiates between empirical geography and Buddhist/Daoist cosmologies. \nChiung-yun Evelyn Liu is an Associate Research Fellow at the Institute of Chinese Literature and Philosophy\, Academia Sinica\, Taiwan. She earned her B.A. from National Taiwan University\, M.A. from Columbia University and Ph.D. from Harvard University. Her research interests include literature of the fantastic\, mediations on historical memory\, and the intersection of knowledge production\, cultural imagination and psychological responses to the foreign in late imperial China. She is completing a book manuscript\, which investigates how moral value\, memory politics\, literary sensibility and commercial media worked together in shaping and transforming historical memories. Her next project explores the function of sentiment in the process of knowledge reception and reformulation; particularly how Chinese literati coped with turbulent dynastic transitions and unsettling cross-cultural encounters through encyclopedic writing as means of reordering and comprehending the changing world.

SUMMARY:Jeff Wasserstrom and Maura Cunningham — China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom and Maura Elizabeth Cunningham \nHarvard Coop Book Talk \nIn this fully revised and updated third edition of China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know®\, Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom and Maura Elizabeth Cunningham provide cogent answers to urgent questions regarding the world’s newest superpower and offer a framework for understanding China’s meteoric rise from developing country to superpower. Framing their answers through the historical legacies – Confucian thought\, Western and Japanese imperialism\, the Mao era\, and the Tiananmen Square massacre – that largely define China’s present-day trajectory\, Wasserstrom and Cunningham introduce readers to the Chinese Communist Party\, the building boom in Shanghai\, and the environmental fallout of rapid Chinese industrialization. They also explain unique aspects of Chinese culture\, such as the one-child policy\, and provide insight into Chinese-American relations\, a subject that has become increasingly fraught during the Trump era. As Wasserstrom and Cunningham draw parallels between China and other industrialized nations during their periods of development\, in particular the United States during its rapid industrialization in the 19th century\, they also predict how we might expect China to act in the future vis-à-vis the United States\, Russia\, India\, and its East Asian neighbors. \nUpdated to include perspectives on Hong Kong’s shifting political status\, as well as an expanded discussion of President Xi Jinping’s time in office\, China in the 21st Century provides a concise and insightful introduction to this significant global power. \nMaura Elizabeth Cunningham is a writer and historian of modern China. She is a graduate of Saint Joseph’s University (B.A.\, 2004)\, Yale University (M.A.\, 2006)\, the Hopkins-Nanjing Center for Chinese and American Studies (graduate certificate\, 2008)\, and the University of California\, Irvine (Ph.D.\, 2014). Maura was the editor-in-chief of The China Beat\, a blog based at UC Irvine\, between 2009 and 2012\, and associate editor of ChinaFile during a fellowship at the Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations in 2011-12. From 2014 to 2016\, Maura served as a program officer at the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations\, where she co-directed the Public Intellectuals Program; in 2016\, she became the digital media manager at the Association for Asian Studies. As a writer\, her work has appeared at the Wall Street Journal\, the Financial Times\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, and other publications. \nJeffrey Wasserstrom is a graduate of UC Santa Cruz (B.A.\, 1982)\, Harvard (A.M.\, 1984)\, and Berkeley (Ph.D.\,1989)\, and he is now Chancellor’s Professor of History at UC Irvine. He has written five books\, the most recent of which are Eight Juxtapositions: China through Imperfect Analogies from Mark Twain to Manchukuo (Penguin\, 2016) and the third edition of China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford\, 2018). He has also edited or co-edited several other books\, including The Oxford Illustrated History of Modern China (2016). In addition to writing for academic journals\, he has contributed to many general interest venues\, among them the New York Times\, the TLS\, and the Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB). He is an academic editor of LARB’s China Channel and the Editor of the Journal of Asian Studies.
