SUMMARY:Panel Discussion - Strongman Politics in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nElsa Clavé\, Harvard University Asia Center\nAyşe Kadıoğlu\, Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, Harvard University\nJoseph Fewsmith\, Boston University\nValerie Sperling\, Clark University \nModerator:\nThomas Vallely\, Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School \nListen again on Soundcloud: \n \nAs the role of “strongman” leaders on the world stage appears to be on the rise\, this panel examines “strongman politics” in a comparative context. In May 2018\, Time Magazine proclaimed in an article that “The ‘Strongmen Era’ Is Here” (Time\, May 3\, 2018). Highlighting Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping’s tightening authoritarianism in Russia and China\, and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan\, Rodrigo Duterte\, and Viktor Orbán’s undermining of democratic norms in Turkey\, the Philippines\, and Hungary\, it certainly appears that Huntington’s post-Cold War “third wave” of democratization is witnessing a strongman-inspired reversal. But does this entail a new “era” of authoritarianism advance as the United States rhetorically withdraws from its global leadership role? \nThis panel examines the role of politically-strong male leaders in authoritarian countries in a comparative context. Elsa Clavé\, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard University Asia Center\, examines the 2016 election of Duterte in the Philippines; Ayşe Kadıoğlu\, Visiting Scholar at Harvard’s Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, looks at Erdoğan’s reversal of Turkey’s previous move towards democratization; Joseph Fewsmith\, Professor Political Science at Boston University\, compares Xi Jinping’s consolidation of power in China to Mao’s historical rise at Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party; and Valerie Sperling\, Professor of Political Science at Clark University\, interrogates the cult-like masculinity of Vladimir Putin’s image as a “manly” leader in post-Soviet Russia. \nRegarding her upcoming discussion of the presidency of Duterte at the panel\, Asia Center Postdoctoral Fellow Elsa Clavé\, a historian of the Philippines working on the expression of authority and power in its Muslim periphery\, stated “President Duerte is not only a populist; he was elected and stays extremely popular for various other reasons. Understanding these reasons is essential to understanding the present society and the direction it is taking. Models and theory are a good approach to reality\, but reality exceeds both. A conversation between different fields and disciplines will help\, I hope\, to refine the model.” \nThe panel is moderated by Thomas Vallely\, Senior Advisor at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School\, and a specialist on Southeast Asia\, and introduced by Karen Thornber\, Director of the Harvard University Asia Center. \nCo-sponsoring Centers:\nAsh Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School\nWeatherhead Center for International Affairs\, Harvard University\nHarvard University Asia Center\nFairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University\nDavis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies\, Harvard University\nMinda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, Harvard University

SUMMARY:China's Belt Road Initiative in Eurasia: The Challenge of Fostering Sustainable Connectivity
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nPhilippe Le Corre\,  Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government\, Harvard Kennedy School\nMamuka Tsereteli\, Central Asia-Caucasus Institute\, American Foreign Policy Council\nNargis Kassenova\, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies\, Harvard University\n\n\n  \nDiscussant:\nSvante E. Cornell\, Central Asia-Caucasus Institute \nSince its official launch in 2013\, China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has become a topic of intense research and and discussion. While there is no shortage of research projects on the features and implications of Beijing’s massive investments in infrastructure connecting Asia with Europe and Africa\, our understanding of linkages between China’s activities in various geographic regions and emerging interdependencies is limited. This roundtable will gather experts on Chinese investments and policies in Europe\, the South Caucasus and Central Asia (the Silk Road region of the BRI) to present a more comprehensive picture of Chinese-designed connectivity in Eurasia. \nMore information may be found at https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/events/chinas-belt-road-initiative-eurasia-challenge-fostering-sustainable-connectivity.

SUMMARY:Vigil and Memorial: Two Films by Wang Bing
DESCRIPTION:An in-person discussion with Wang Bing follows each film screening.\n$12 Special Event Tickets \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center’s Emergent Visions in Independent Chinese Cinema series\, organized by Professor Jie Li\, and the Harvard Film Archive. \n***NOTE TIME CHANGE***\nFriday November 9 at 8pm \nMrs. Fang\nA moving and bracing portrait of a dying woman and her family\, Mrs. Fang offers a remarkable variation of Wang Bing’s engaged cinema that demands the viewer to empathize and experience\, in real time and real emotion\, the intense yet poetically unfolding human dramas captured by his unwavering camera. Wang Bing’s shortest feature to date is among his most ethically and structurally profound—balanced between extended close-ups of the frail Fang Xiuying\, locked into an open-eyed coma\, and tender scenes of her family alternately overcome by grief and matter-of-factly accepting the inevitable. Most surprising are the sequences featuring two family members leaving Mrs. Fang’s small home to go night fishing\, an exercise that gently carries the weight of spiritual metaphor: a search for sustenance\, survival\, friendship in a cold\, dark world. \nSaturday November 10 at 2pm \nDead Souls\nAt eight hours and fifteen minutes\, Dead Souls is based on interviews\, footage and other memory traces Wang Bing gathered over twelve years\, from more than 120 people across various provinces. Covering a period from the Anti-Rightist Campaign of 1957 to the end of the Great Leap famine in 1961\, most of the film features testimonies from survivors of a “re-education camp” in northwestern China\, many once “revolutionaries” who were then “revolutionized.” Incarcerated for minor criticisms of the Party\, for past support of the Kuomintang\, for Christian faith\, or for no reason they can fathom\, former camp inmates recount recipes of starvation\, logistics of death and ruinations of families. Occasionally we also see their wives in the margins of the frame or hear offscreen voices of children too young to understand. The overlay of their testimonies—full of resonances\, contradictions\, digressions and silences—metonymically point to past injustice and suffering at a much larger scale.  While Wang Bing explored the same harrowing topic of the Jiabiangou labor camp in previous work such as Fengming: A Chinese Memoir (2007) and The Ditch (2010)\, the monumental scale\, unsensational precision and multiple perspectives of Dead Souls have drawn comparisons to Claude Lanzmann’s Holocaust documentary Shoah. Mediating testimony for those who can no longer bear witness for themselves\, Dead Souls invites us to partake in a belated memorial service for the victims of the Maoist revolution still condemned to state-sponsored amnesia.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening - Eye Eye Nose Mouth: Art\, Disability\, and Mental Illness in Nanjing\, China and Shiga-ken\, Japan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition at the Harvard University Asia Center explores the intersections of art\, disability\, and mental health by displaying original works on paper and sculptures\ncreated by ten groundbreaking\, self-taught artists from China and Japan. Their compelling\, formally innovative works come in a wide range of styles and media\, from gestural abstractions to proliferating figurations\, from meticulous clay obelisks to eye-popping wall paintings. \nThe first exhibition of works produced in art workshops for people with disabilities ever to take place at Harvard (and only the second devoted to self-taught artists since the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art’s Exhibition of American Folk Paintings in 1930)\, “Eye Eye Nose Mouth” offers an original contribution to an ongoing conversation about mental health and the acceptance of mental disability and mental illness in both local and international contexts. \nThe curators conducted on-the-ground research at Nanjing Outsider Art Studio in China and Atelier Yamanami in Japan\, in order to witness the practices of the artists\, and to carefully contextualize the works within their specific sociocultural conditions of production. As the curators observed the inner workings of these art therapy workshops\, they documented the daily rhythms and artistic processes of the artists on video\, which form a tapestry of moving-image portraits to accompany the works in the exhibition. \nThe title of the exhibition is an homage to the work of Hideaki Yoshikawa\, who has been creating numerous series of works bearing the title “Eye Eye Nose Mouth” (目目鼻口\, pronounced me-me-hana-kuchi) at Atelier Yamanami over several decades. His drawings and clay sculptures\, combining obsessive seriality and formal inventiveness\, are exemplary of the quality of the works produced at Atelier Yamanami and Nanjing Outsider Art Studio\, but also of the most salient common feature of both workshops. \nThe two workshops belong to distinct sociocultural contexts at different stages of their respective histories: the former was founded in 1986\, while the latter\, founded in 2006\, is a comparatively smaller structure. However\, staff members of both workshops make it a point to never intervene directly in the creative process\, providing care\, support\, and art materials while leaving artists at total liberty to experiment and develop their own artistic practices at their own pace. The works displayed in this exhibition offer a glimpse of the results yielded by these deliberate strategies of tolerance and empowerment. \nMental illness and mental disability are particularly complex issues in both China and Japan\, due to prevalent social stigma\, and\, in the case of mainland China\, a relative lack of state-supported care facilities. In this regard\, both workshops constitute attempts to heighten public awareness of these issues\, and to improve the symbolic image and concrete living conditions of affected persons in their respective societies. While insisting on the specificity of each workshop’s particular context\, the exhibition avoids a rigid juxtaposition or comparison\, encouraging the viewer to instead find formal and thematic echoes across the works.

SUMMARY:Chen Wei - How well has China’s family planning policy worked?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Chen Wei\, Professor\, School of Sociology and Population Studies\, Renmin University of China; HYI Visiting Scholar 2018-19\nChair/discussant: Mary Brinton\,  Reischauer Institute Professor of Sociology\, Department of Sociology\, Harvard University \nDemography is destiny. China’s economic success has been importantly driven by its demographic changes which might also determine China’s future. At the center of the demographics of China is its unique family planning policy. China’s family planning policy\, which used to be described as one-child policy\, has played a decisive role in fertility transition and transformation of fertility patterns\, hence the population growth trends in China. Beginning in 2016\, China implemented a two-child policy putting an end to the 35-years long one-child policy\, which has also brought about marked changes in China’s fertility patterns. This talk will discuss the changing fertility policy and its impacts on fertility and population trends in China\, and addresses two major questions: who were not complying with the one-child policy in the past\, and now who are having second child? This research is conducted using China’s population census and fertility survey data\, involving quantitative approaches and international comparative perspectives. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/how-well-has-china-s-family-planning-policy-worked \n  \n
