SUMMARY:“Friends with No Limits?” The Future of China-Russia Relations
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead our blog post on the event: Friends with “No Limits”? A Year into War in Ukraine\, History Still Constrains Sino-Russian Relations \n\n\n\nSpeakers:Andrew S. Erickson\, Professor of Strategy and Research Director\, U.S. Naval War College (NWC) China Maritime Studies Institute (CMSI); Visiting Professor\, Government Department\, Harvard University; Associate in Research\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.M.

Stimson Professor of Law\, Harvard Law School; Director\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies \n\n\n\nA year after the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, are China and Russia still “friends with no limits?” Since embracing that phrase\, Chinese President Xi Jinping has sought\, on occasion\, to publicly distance Beijing from Moscow. Is that actually happening\, or is this just a mirage?  Over the past year\, bilateral trade has more than doubled\, with China offering much-needed economic support to blunt the impact of Western sanctions. Could Chinese contributions undermine EU\, U.S.\, and G7 country sanctions and prolong Putin’s war? What are the prospects for Sino-Russian partnership in politics\, defense\, and intelligence? \n\n\n\nJoin us as leading experts examine how a new China-Russia axis is changing the global order. \n\n\n\nAndrew S.

SUMMARY:The Stories We Tell: The Politics of History in China and the United States
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead our blog post on the event: The Stories We Tell: Can the U.S. and China Reset their Conflicting Narratives? \n\n\n\nSpeakers:Jill Lepore\, David Woods Kemper ’41 Professor of American History and Affiliate Professor of Law\, Harvard University; Staff Writer\, The New YorkerWen YU\, Visiting Assistant Professor of History\, Boston College \n\n\n\nModerator: Michael Puett\, Walter C. Klein Professor of Chinese History and Anthropology\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nIf every nation needs a shared history\, what is our story\, and who gets to tell it? These questions haunt both the United States and China. \n\n\n\nThe revival of nationalist interpretations of American history has rekindled debates about the role of history in shaping the meaning of American identity and the country’s shared values. Since the creation of a shared history that begins with the nation’s founding ideals has been central to the construction of American identity\, debates about shared values in the United States are often inseparable from debates about the meaning of the past. Similarly\, in China throughout the 20th century and into the present\, the interpretation of Chinese national history has been the battlefield for defining the country’s identity and shared values. \n\n\n\nJill Lepore\, Professor of American History and author of “These Truths: A History of the United States\,” and Wen YU\, Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Boston College\, will examine the similarities between the ongoing debates in both countries. In a conversation moderated by Michael Puett\, Professor of Chinese History and Anthropology\, they will also explore the tensions between history as a nation-building story and as a mode of inquiry that allows for self-examination and the integration of the historical experiences of other societies. \n\n\n\nThe Fairbank Center Big Questions Initiative\, conceived by PhD candidate Benjamin Gallant\, aims to challenge conventional views of fixed cultural differences through a series of public conversations that examine how China\, America\, and other societies have debated and addressed ​​a similar set of central questions. By inviting prominent scholars from outside of Chinese studies to engage in dialogue with scholars studying China\, we hope to encourage the audience to think in more complex ways about China and the United States\, and in the process\, to gain a deeper understanding of how we are all connected. \n\n\n\nJill Lepore is the David Woods Kemper ’41 Professor of American History and Affiliate Professor of Law at Harvard University. She is also a staff writer at The New Yorker. Her many books include\, “These Truths: A History of the United States” (2018)\, an international bestseller\, named one of Time magazine’s top ten non-fiction books of the decade. Her new book\, “The Deadline\,” will be published in 2023. She is currently working on a long-term research project called Amend\, an NEH-funded data collection of attempts to amend the U.S. Constitution. \n\n\n\nWen YU is a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Boston College. She received her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2018 and served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan from 2019 to 2021. Her research focuses on China’s history of social and political thought\, ideological movements\, and intellectual culture from the seventeenth century to the present. She is working on a book project based on her award-winning dissertation\, entitled “The Search for a Chinese Way in the Modern World: From the Rise of Evidential Learning to the Birth of Chinese Identity.” It explains how defining Chinese cultural identity has become central to the intellectual debates about the political system and moral values in modern China. \n\n\n\nMichael Puett is the Walter C. Klein Professor of Chinese History and Anthropology at Harvard University. His interests are focused on the inter-relations between history\, anthropology\, religion\, and philosophy\, with the hope of bringing the study of China into larger historical and comparative frameworks. He is the author of “The Ambivalence of Creation: Debates Concerning Innovation and Artifice in Early China” and “To Become a God: Cosmology\, Sacrifice\, and Self-Divinization in Early China.” His course\, “Classical Chinese Ethical and Political Theory\,” is one of the most popular courses at the university. \n\n\n\nBenjamin Gallant is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of East Asian Languages at Harvard University whose research focuses on the intellectual and legal history of early China. His dissertation project examines how people used and debated the past in ancient China as the emergence of legalist statecraft and an imperial bureaucracy introduced enormous tensions between the state\, the family\, and the individual. His research has been supported by the Fulbright Program\, the Gerda Henkel Foundation\, and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. \n\n\n\nAlso available on Zoom.

SUMMARY:How Soy Sauce Shapes Modern China: The Power of an Everyday Food—2023 Fairbank Center Reischauer Lecture Series featuring Angela KC Leung\, Night One\, "Becoming an Everyday Food: Soy Sauce in the High Qing Period"
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead our blog post on this series of lectures: What Soy Sauce Can Tell Us About History\, Politics—and Chinese Identity \n\n\n\nThe lecture series examines the cultural and political meaning of soy sauce by tracing its long trajectory from an obscure elite condiment to a mundane\, everyday food in the modern period. The condiment acquired in the process the unique power of forging shared identities – familial\, communitarian\, regional and national\, becoming more recently a heritage food in different Chinese societies today. Its status as a popular\, necessary daily food endowed it with social and economic values that have made its production an integral part of state building for successive regimes – Qing\, Republican\, Socialist\, post-Socialist. Since the early 20th century\, soy sauce has been crafted with changing knowledge and techniques\, by experts in evolving institutions and enterprises\, and marketed to satisfy consumers’ shifting imaginations of their time\, community\, and environment.  \n\n\n\nTuesday\, March 28\, 2023\, 4:30pm Lecture 1: Becoming an Everyday Food: Soy Sauce in the High Qing PeriodThe explosion of soy sauce’s popularity as an everyday food in China is explained in the context of the mid-eighteenth-century integration of Manchuria\, which would become the world’s biggest soybean producer\, into the Qing Empire at the zenith of its political power. The development changed urban landscapes\, shaped everyday life and forged new urban identities.  \n\n\n\nWednesday\, March 29\, 2023\, 4:30pmLecture 2: The Power of a Malleable Everyday Food: Soy Sauce in Modern China Soy sauce as a super connector gained enormous power in the 19th and early 20th centuries:  It was made and offered to tighten bonds within lineages\, strengthen native place relationships\, and diplomatic ties. It symbolized communitarian and national solidarity\, hospitality and pride. Such immense power imbued the condiment with significant economic value.  \n\n\n\nThursday\, March 30\, 2023\, 4:30pmLecture 3: Soy Sauce in Crisis: China’s First Engagement with Technoscience Under deteriorating governance and facing the influx of industrial Japanese products\, Chinese soy sauce production was to be transformed as part of the state program of industrial modernization. The process produced a first generation of food scientists and technocrats navigating between codified scientific knowledge and traditional practices based on embodied skills\, an approach still valid in the 21st century when heritage sauces are being constructed. \n\n\n\nAngela Ki Che Leung is Chair Professor of History\, Joseph Needham-Philip Mao Professor in Chinese History\, Science and Civilization at the Hong Kong Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences\, University of Hong Kong since 2011. After obtaining her doctoral degree at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales\, Paris\, she became a researcher at the Academia Sinica\, Taiwan\, in 1982\, and taught history at UCLA\, National Taiwan University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong\, and was elected Academician of the Academia Sinica in 2010. She has published in Chinese\, English and French on the history of Chinese philanthropy and history of medicine and health. Her books in English include Leprosy in China: A History (2009)\, Health and Hygiene in Chinese East Asia (2010\, co-edited with Charlotte Furth); Gender\, Health and History in East Asia (2017\, co-edited with Izumi Nakayama); Moral Foods: The Construction of Health Regimes in Modern Asia (2019\, co-edited with Melissa Caldwell). She led a Hong Kong government funded collaborative project on everyday technologies in modern East Asia from 2017-2022\, and is preparing an edited volume on Food Technoscience in East Asia and a monograph on the history of Chinese soy sauce.Also available via Zoom.
