SUMMARY:Denise Ho - New Exhibitions and China's Cultural Revolution: Rethinking Class\, Material\, Culture\, and Propaganda
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Denise Y. Ho\, Yale University \nListen to our “Harvard on China” podcast interview with Denise Y. Ho. \n \nDownload and read the transcript of this podcast interview. \nDenise Y. Ho is assistant professor of twentieth-century Chinese history at Yale University\, and the author of “Curating Revolution: Politics on Display of Mao’s China” (2018). Using a wide variety of primary sources\, including Shanghai’s municipal and district archives and oral history\, “Curating Revolution” depicts displays of revolution and history\, politics and class\, and art and science. Analyzing China’s “socialist museums” and “new exhibitions\,” Ho demonstrates how Mao-era exhibitionary culture both reflected and made revolution. \nDenise Y. Ho is an historian of modern China\, with a particular focus on the social and cultural history of the Mao period (1949-1976). She is also interested in urban history\, the study of information and propaganda\, and material culture. Ho teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on modern and contemporary China\, the history of Shanghai\, the uses of the past in modern China\, and the historiography of the Republican era and the PRC.

SUMMARY:Tansen Sen - India\, China\, and the World: A Connected History
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tansen Sen\, New York University Shanghai \nBy focusing on the early material exchanges\, transmissions of knowledge and technologies between ancient India and ancient China; the networks of exchange during the colonial period; and some of the less-known facets of interactions between the Republic of India and the People’s Republic of China\, this presentation argues that the analysis of India-China connections must extend beyond the traditional frameworks of nation-states or bilateralism. Instead\, it is proposed that that a wide canvas of space\, people\, objects\, sources\, and timeframe is needed to fully comprehend the interactions between India and China in the past and during the contemporary period. It is argued that these interactions were multidirectional\, involved people from diverse parts of the world\, and were not constrained by the entities called “India” and “China.” The presentation also examines the ideas of “connected histories\,” “circulatory connections\,” “convergence\,” “contact zones\,” and “disjuncture” as the conceptual methods for studying transregional and transcultural connections and exchanges. \nTansen Sen is Professor of history and the Director of the Center for Global Asia at NYU Shanghai\, and Global Network Professor at New York University. Previously he was a faculty at the City University of New York and the founding head of the Nalanda Sriwijaya Center at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies\, Singapore. He is the author of Buddhism\, Diplomacy\, and Trade: The Realignment of Sino-Indian Relations\, 600-1400 (2003; 2016) and India\, China\, and the World: A Connected History (2017; 2018). He has co-authored (with Victor H. Mair) Traditional China in Asian and World History (2012)\, edited Buddhism across Asia: Networks of Material\, Cultural and Intellectual Exchange (2014)\, and co-edited (with Burkhard Schnepel) Travelling Pasts: The Politics of Cultural Heritage in the Indian Ocean World (under review). He is currently working on a book about Zheng He’s maritime expeditions in the early fifteenth century and co-editing (with Engseng Ho) the Cambridge History of the Indian Ocean\, volume 1.

SUMMARY:Fabio Lanza - Liberation through Labor? The Urban Commune Experiment in Beijing
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Fabio Lanza\, University of Arizona \nIn the years between 1958 and 1962\, the Urban Commune movement was promoted as a radical effort to change the daily lives of city residents. By inserting women into the “productive” life of factory work\, the movement also aimed at achieving a new form of everyday\, based on a true equality of gender relationships\, one achieved through the shared creativity of manual labor. While the movement failed\, it nonetheless brought to the fore some of the crucial tensions that marred the search for a socialist everyday: between participatory democracy and state hierarchy\, between production and liberation\, and between labor and gender equality.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Altehenger - A History of Legal Lessons: law\, propaganda\, and the state in socialist China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jennifer Altehenger\, King’s College London \nIn 2016\, the PRC embarked on the seventh five-year plan for the popularization of law. Today\, the dissemination of basic legal knowledge is an established part of CCP governance\, closely associated with the extensive legal reforms that followed the death of Mao Zedong in 1976. Yet people learned about laws under state auspices throughout the twentieth-century (and before). Following the establishment of the PRC in 1949\, the CCP carried out numerous campaigns to get people to study and implement key national laws such as the Marriage Law\, Election Law\, and state constitutions. Teaching and learning laws was part of mass line politics\, intended to make laws accessible and transform people into law-making and law-abiding socialist citizens who contributed to China’s liberation. This talk – part of research for a recent book – shows why the CCP cared about disseminating laws from early on\, how law propaganda was produced\, circulated\, and censored\, and how people responded to learning about laws. Far from a simple propaganda exercise\, law propaganda contributed to fostering a legal culture in China that bolstered and threatened CCP rule at the same time. \nJennifer Altehenger is a Lecturer in Contemporary Chinese History at King’s College London. She is the author of Legal Lessons: Popularizing Laws in the People’s Republic of China\, 1949-1989 (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2018) and has also published on the history of propaganda production\, information\, lexicography\, political satire\, and on Communist China’s links to other socialist countries before 1989. Funded by the British Academy and an Arts and Humanities Research Council leadership fellowship\, her current work examines the social\, economic\, and cultural history of everyday material culture and industrial design in China after 1949.

SUMMARY:Can Computation Change the Study of Chinese Culture and History?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Richard Jean So\, University of Chicago \nThe emergence of large corpora of digitized cultural and historical texts and new methods in text mining and analysis have made possible a new form of computational analysis for the humanities and China Studies. The question and challenge is whether these new methods and “data” will enrich our study of Chinese culture and history or simply “tell us what we already know.” In this talk\, I utilize a large corpus of Republican-era Chinese cultural and political journals and methods in Natural Language Processing to demonstrate that indeed\, computation can not only reframe and challenge existing scholarship in China Studies\, but produce radically new interpretations and arguments\, as well as entire new conceptual frameworks for the study of modern China. I specifically develop a case study focused on the evolution and transformation of the era’s cultural discourse in relation to other significant discourses\, such as politics and media. \n

SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture Series: Ryōdōraku (良導絡) in New China:   Sino-Japanese Medical Exchange in the 1950s and the Role of Machines in East Asian Medical Modernity
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ruth Rogaski\, Vanderbilt University \nIn December of 1957\, a medical delegation from the People’s Republic of China visited Japan as part of a decade-long series of semi-official cultural exchanges between the two former enemies. The delegation brought back a “Nakatani Ryōdōraku electrodermometer”—a scientific apparatus which\, according to its inventor\, Nakatani Yoshio\, could be used to demonstrate an electromagnetic phenomenon on the surface of the human body that was remarkably similar to the meridians of Chinese medicine. My paper uses this episode of medical mobility to explore the role of machines in attempts to establish the ontological basis for Chinese medicine in twentieth century East Asia. \nProbing the “electrical genealogy” of the Nakatani machine in Japan since the Meiji period illuminates how Japanese physicians pursued the scientific underpinnings of traditional medical concepts by creatively employing trends in European and Russian physiological research. While most Sino-Japanese exchanges around the modernization of traditional medicine were interrupted by the war (although some practitioners sought medical unity through empire in the 1930s and 40s)\, medical exchanges were renewed surprisingly quickly in the 1950s. Chinese translations of Japanese texts about the biological basis of acupuncture entered into ongoing PRC debates about the nature of meridians– debates that had emerged in China in the 1930s and continued in the politically complex era of medical reform in the 1950s. The arrival of the Nakatani machine highlighted the schisms among Chinese physicians regarding the role of science and classical theories in modernizing Chinese medicine. In conclusion\, the paper examines the continuing use of the Ryōdōraku machine (and similar devices) in acupuncture practice today\, and considers the century-long desire to visualize the invisible in Chinese medicine.

SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture: Governing the Souls of Chinese Modernity
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrew Kipnis\, Professor of Anthropology in the College of Asia and the Pacific at The Australian National University\n\nPhilippe Descola argues that human societies can be categorized by the ways in which they utilize broad assumptions about interiority and physicality\, where interiority refers to something similar to what Edward Tyler and James Frazer meant by “soul”. In Descola’s scheme\, traditional Chinese culture\, which gives play to infinite variability in both interiority and physicality\, is strongly “analogist”. In contrast\, Descola defines modern\, Western societies as “naturalist”. We moderns see nature or physicality as universally fixed\, but culture or interiority as variable. Contemporary China is rapidly modernizing and scientising. In Descola’s terms\, its culture should be transitioning from an analogist one to a naturalist one. Through an examination of practices of memorialisation and funerary ritual in urban China\, as well as Chinese Communist Party attempts to steer the evolution of these practices in reaction to “modernity\,” this paper attempts to tease out what is modern about the conceptions of soul implicit in contemporary Chinese dealings with death.\n\nAndrew Kipnis is Professor of Anthropology in the College of Asia and the Pacific at The Australian National University. His most recent book is From Village to City: Social Transformation in a Chinese County Seat (University of California Press\, 2016). For ten years he was co-editor of The China Journal.

SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture Series: The Significance of the Frontier in Twentieth Century Chinese History
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Shellen Wu\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville \nThe 1890s set off an unprecedented rush for the last remaining unclaimed lands around the world. Developments in the preceding century saw the social sciences and disciplines like geography and agronomy connecting Europe\, the Americas\, and Asia. The educated elite from around the world increasingly spoke a common language of science and the social sciences.From the nineteenth through the twentieth centuries\, the discourse of endless frontiers stretched from Eastern Europe\, Soviet Central Asia and Siberia\, to Inner Mongolia\, and Western China\, in each case becoming absorbed into long-running historical concerns about territory and identity.These disparate places shared a centrally planned vision of turning the frontiers into fertile agricultural heartlands. The global circulation of imperialist and geopolitical discourse helped to shape the modern Chinese geographical imagination. Geomodernity in China emerged from this fundamental spatial reconceptualization of Chinese territoriality.

SUMMARY:Doubts about the Chinese current of "doubting antiquity" and its critics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rudolf G. Wagner\nFairbank Center Associate at Harvard University\, and Cluster Asia and Europe Associate at Heidelberg University\, Germany. \nThis is a study of the background\, impact\, and cost of the “doubting antiquity\,” or yigu\, current associated with the Gushi bian collection that followed a strong political agenda of undoing the authority of the orthodox view of Chinese history with the authority of scholarly criticism. \nIt traces its background against the claims by the initiator and editor of this collection\, Gu Jiegang\, that his inspirations all came from the Chinese scholarly tradition to an international discussion about the relationship between myth and history and the proper ways to read myth\, a discussion that had its origins in German classical philology and Protestant theology\, and reached China via Japanese contributions. \nIt sketches the international impact of the yigu current in a case study about the strategies for dating and editing the Laozi before the recent finds of early manuscripts. Finally it outlines the cost of the strong political agenda of both the yigu current and its present-day critics by showing how the focus on the genuine/fake issue left many highly relevant questions concerning the methodology of editing the newly-found manuscripts unasked and unanswered.

SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture: Varieties of Chinese Utopianism\, 1900-1940
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Peter Zarrow\, University of Connecticut \nUtopianism was a major motif in early twentieth century Chinese political thought.  Utopianism was not only widespread\, it became constitutive of political thought.  Utopianism did so in the form of the utopian impulse rather than full-fledged utopianism.  The “utopian impulse” is revealed in the context of generally non-utopian ideas.  While not all thinkers were influenced by utopianism\, many were—and the utopian impulse revealed in their work took very different forms.  I consider four case studies.  First\, Kang Youwei: he was author of the only full-fledged utopian scheme; his utopia was based on metaphysical cosmopolitanism.  Second\, Cai Yuanpei: Cai’s neo-Kantian aestheticism was another form of metaphysical thinking that formed the basis of his so-called philosophical anarchism.  Third\, Chen Duxiu: Chen’s secular utopian interpretation of democracy infused his liberal and Trotskyite phases (less so his Leninist phase).  And finally\, Hu Shi: Hu’s scientism led him to processual utopianism and shaped his liberalism and his critique of traditional culture.  There were certainly other varieties of utopianism\, both metaphysical and secular\, and the utopian impulse appeared in fiction as well as political writing\, but these four cases enable us to begin to examine the relationship between utopianism and varieties of political thought. \nPeter Zarrow is professor of History at the University of Connecticut.  His research focuses on the intellectual and cultural history of modern China.  Zarrow is currently writing a monograph on utopian thought in China in the twentieth century and has begun a project on the history of the Forbidden City.  He is the author most recently of After Empire: The Conceptual Transformation of the Chinese State\, 1885-1924 (Stanford\, 2012) and Educating China: Knowledge\, Society\, and Textbooks in a Modernizing World\, 1902-1937 (Cambridge\, 2015).
