SUMMARY:PRC @ 75 Series – Film Screening – Remembering the 1980s: The Documentary Series Tiananmen\, featuring an introduction by Yuhua Wang & Q+A with Rowena Xiaoqing He and Shi Jian
DESCRIPTION:Introduction: Yuhua Wang\, Professor of Government\, Harvard UniversityQ+A Discussion: Rowena Xiaoqing He\, Senior Research Fellow\, University of Texas Austin; author of Tiananmen Exiles: Voices of the Struggle for Democracy in ChinaProgrammer: Sam Maclean\, Communications Manager\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies \n\n\n\nFollowed by a Zoom Q+A with filmmaker Shi Jian\, co-director of Tiananmen \n\n\n\nThe eight-part documentary series Tiananmen\, about life in Beijing in the 1980s\, was produced with official sanction by a brilliant young team of filmmakers at China Central Television (CCTV). It had a planned airing commencement date of National Day — October 1\, 1989 — to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. However\, production halted in the spring of 1989\, when students calling for democracy and an end to corruption took to the streets in Beijing. Following the violent crackdown on June 4th\, CCTV canceled the series\, concluding that any with the title “Tiananmen”—regardless of its political slant—would be too controversial to air. \n\n\n\nBut co-directors Shi Jian (时间) and Chen Jue (陈爵) decided to finished Tiananmen independently. The series was invited to screen at the Hong Kong Film Festival\, in 1992\, but the Chinese film delegation boycotted it\, and the screening was canceled. Since then\, the full documentary has only screened publicly once (in Chicago\, this past summer). \n\n\n\nThis historic series weaves a tapestry of sociopolitical life whose scope stretches from the survivors of the pre-revolution imperial court to the competitive struggles sparked by the transition to a planned economy\, to liberalization in the shadow of the not-too-distant Cultural Revolution\, to the vibrant artist communities and counterculture movements\, and ultimately\, to what registers as a sense of guarded optimism about China’s 21st century trajectory. \n\n\n\nYuhua Wang (王裕华) is Professor of Government at Harvard University\, whose research focuses on two aspects of the politics of state building. He looks at what contributes to the emergence of effective and durable statehood\, and after an effective state emerges\, how it can be constrained. Professor Wang’s third book\, The Rise and Fall of Imperial China: The Social Origins of State Development (2022\, Princeton University Press) won the 2023 Lubbert Best Book Award in Comparative Politics from the American Political Science Association. His articles have appeared in American Political Science Review\, Annual Review of Political Science\, British Journal of Political Science\, Comparative Political Studies\, Comparative Politics\, and China Quarterly. \n\n\n\nRowena Xiaoqing He (何曉清) is a China specialist and historian of modern China. She is interested in the nexus of history\, memory\, and power\, and their implications for the relationship between academic freedom and public opinion\, human rights and democratization\, and youth values and nationalism. Her first book\, Tiananmen Exiles: Voices of the Struggle for Democracy in China\, was named Top Five Books 2014 by the Asia Society’s China File. The book has been reviewed in the New York Review of Books\, Wall Street Journal\, Financial Times\, New Statesman\, Spectator\, Christian Science Monitor\, China Journal\, Human Rights Quarterly\, and other international periodicals. Her research has been supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada\, Harvard University’s Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton\, and the National Humanities Center. Dr. He received the Harvard University Certificate of Teaching Excellence for three consecutive years for the Tiananmen courses that she created. She joined the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2019 and received the Faculty of Arts Outstanding Teaching Award in 2020 and 2021. In 2023\, she was denied a Hong Kong work visa to return to her position as an Associate Professor of History. Her op-eds have appeared in the Washington Post\, The Nation\, The Guardian\, The Globe and Mail\, and The Wall Street Journal. She was designated among the Top 100 Chinese Public Intellectuals 2016. Born and raised in China\, she received her Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. \n\n\n\nThe Fairbank Center’s film screening series explores the largely unseen early history of independent film in China\, beginning in the late 1980s\, aiming to unearth films long-suppressed by Chinese authorities to fill out the narrative of modern film history in the PRC. \n\n\n\nTiananmen’s 8 parts will screen in groups of two throughout Friday\, October 4\, with short breaks: \n\n\n\n12:00 PM: Introduction by Yuhua Wang\, Professor of Government\, followed by Part 1: “The Old City” (56 min.)\, about survivors of the imperial court\, including interviews with the last living imperial eunuch and Puyi’s family members\, and Part 2: “Residences” (51 min.)\, which explores everyday life in courtyard homes. \n\n\n\n2:15 PM: Part 3: “On the Street” (52 min.)\, about various forms of commerce and social activities\, and Part 4: “On Stage” (54 min.)\, a survey of theater actors\, street performers\, and rock musicians. \n\n\n\n4:15 PM: Part 5: “Going Places” (48 min.)\, about intellectual life at universities and inside private enterprises\, and Part 6: “Guest Performers” (48 min.)\, which follows foreigners who live and work in Beijing. \n\n\n\n6:00 PM: Part 7: “On the Way” (50 min.)\, about entrepreneurs in the entertainment industry\, including ad agencies and models\, and Part 8: “Memories” (1 hour)\, a look at China’s history of sociopolitical unrest. \n\n\n\nThe final episode will be followed by a Zoom Q+A with Rowena Xiaoqing He and Tiananmen co-director Shi Jian. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Tiananmen @ 35 Film Screening: The Gate of Heavenly Peace
DESCRIPTION:Introduction: Carma Hinton\, Art historian and Documentary Filmmaker; Robinson Professor of Visual Culture and Chinese Studies\, George Mason University (retired) \n\n\n\n“In The Gate of Heavenly Peace (the literal translation of the name Tiananmen)\, the causes\, effects and fallout from the six-week protest that led up to the Chinese government’s crackdown on dissidents are detailed with intelligence\, grace and toughness. Filmmakers Carma Hinton and Richard Gordon have transformed news into history\, and history into art.” — Michael Blowen\, The Boston Globe   \n\n\n\nThe Gate of Heavenly Peace chronicles the heroism\, drama\, tension\, humor\, absurdity\, and many tragedies of the peaceful popular protests during the spring weeks of 1989\, culminating on June 4th\, when the government’s bloody crackdown dashed the hopes of millions. Using archival footage and contemporary interviews with a wide range of Chinese citizens\, including students\, workers\, intellectuals\, and government officials\, the film reveals how the hard-liners within the government marginalized moderates among the protesters\, resulting in the voices for reason gradually being cowed and then silenced by extremism and emotionalism on both sides. \n\n\n\nIt is a sobering tale\, for faced with the binary opposition between hardened stances\, there has been little middle ground left for the rational and thoughtful proponents of positive reform in China. By giving these ignored voices their proper place in history\, The Gate of Heavenly Peace reveals an ongoing debate in 20th century China regarding revolution and reform\, as well as the importance of personal responsibility and moral integrity\, the need\, as Vaclav Havel has put it\, to “live in the truth.” \n\n\n\nCarma Hinton is an art historian and a filmmaker. She was born in Beijing\, and Chinese is her first language and culture. She received her Ph.D. in Art History from Harvard University and taught at various universities between major film projects. Together with Richard Gordon\, Hinton has directed many documentary films on China\, including Small Happiness\, All Under Heaven\, To Taste a Hundred Herbs\, Abode of Illusion: The Life and Art of Chang Dai-chien\, The Gate of Heavenly Peace\, and Morning Sun. She has won two Peabody Awards\, the American Historical Association’s John E. O’Connor Film Award\, the International Critics Prize and the Best Social and Political Documentary at the Banff Television Festival\, among others. She retired from her position as Robinson Professor of Visual Culture and Chinese Studies at George Mason University recently to focus on her book about traditional Chinese scrolls depicting the theme of demon quelling and work on the extensive archive of film and other visual materials she and Richard Gordon collected over decades of research and film production.  \n\n\n\nThe Gate of Heavenly Peace produced and directed by Carma Hinton and Richard Gordon. United States\, 1995\, documentary\, 187 min. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Special Presentation featuring Stephen MacKinnon - History as Biography: Chen Hansheng 陈翰笙 (1897-2004)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Stephen MacKinnon\, Emeritus Professor of History; Former Director of Center for Asian Studies\, Arizona State UniversitySteven MacKinnon\, author of Chen Hansheng: China’s Last Romantic Revolutionary\, will discuss the remarkable life of one of most important economic researchers on the Chinese rural economy over a career that spanned the 1930s to his death at 107 in 2004. Long an underground communist\, Chen was one of the most perceptive critics of both Nationalist and Communist policies\, from the collectivization of 1955 through the disasters of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution and Mao Zedong. \n\n\n\nIn the late 1970s Prof. MacKinnon met Chen in Beijing and conducted many interviews with Chen and family\, proteges\, and surviving colleagues.

SUMMARY:Joseph Esherick - Rethinking the Chinese Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Joseph Esherick\, Professor Emeritus of History\, University of California\, San Diego \n\n\n\nModerator: Elizabeth Perry\, Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University; Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute. \n\n\n\nWas the Chinese Revolution inevitable? In “Rethinking the Chinese Revolution\,” Esherick will discuss his evolving assessment of modern Chinese history from his early essay\, “Harvard on China\,” through his “Ten Theses on the Chinese Revolution.” Fundamental to this evolution has been wrestling with the determinism he learned as a social historian of the 1960s to a greater (but still uneasy) embrace of the contingency of history that one sees in Accidental Holy Land. \n\n\n\nJoseph W. Esherick received his B.A. from Harvard in 1964 and his PhD from Berkeley in 1971.  His scholarship has focused on the last years of the Qing dynasty and the social and political transformation of modern China.  His dissertation and first monograph\, Reform and Revolution in China: the 1911 Revolution in Hunan and Hubei explored the social background of China’s republican revolution.  His book on The Origins of the Boxer Uprising won the John K. Fairbank Prize of the American Historical Association and the Joseph R. Levenson Prize of the Association for Asian Studies.  Ancestral Leaves explored the tumultuous history of nineteenth and twentieth-century China through the lives of successive generations of one family. His new monograph\, Accidental Holy Land: The Communist Revolution in Northwest China\, is a study of the founding of the Shaan-Gan-Ning border region of northwest China.  In edited volumes\, Esherick has analyzed Chinese local elites\, the transformation of Chinese cities\, American policy toward China during World War II\, the Cultural Revolution\, and the transition from empire to nation in comparative perspective\, and the year 1943 in China. After forty years of teaching at the University of Oregon and the University of California at San Diego\, Esherick retired in 2012 and now lives in Berkeley\, California. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Thinking through Performance in China - A Workshop on Chinese theories of Acting\, Singing\, and Theater (c.1200–1850)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop reconsiders the significance of critical writings about acting\, singing\, and theatrical performance in China (c.1200–1850). How did artists\, intellectuals\, and critics reflect on experiences of watching or listening to live performance? How did the act of writing about spectatorship become an artform in and of itself? What might these texts offer for theater and performance studies across the world today? The central question these texts address —namely\, “what is the function of Chinese theater?”—has ramifications for students of Chinese history\, literature\, and thought more broadly. \n\n\n\nTheatrical artforms flourished in China from the thirteenth to the nineteenth centuries. While current scholarship largely focuses on playwriting and surviving play-texts from the Yuan to Qing dynasties\, this period also bore witness to a boom in writings about performance\, from manuals on aria composition to poems on the operatic voice to epitaphs for actors. Rather than treat these materials (often referred to in Chinese as quhua 曲話\, qulun 曲論\,or julun 劇論) as supplementary evidence for a general history of playwriting\, this workshop approaches the act of writing about performance as a vibrant field of artistic expression. Texts about theatrical performance not only shed new light on the social history of acting during this period\, but they also speak to broader issues such as constructions of gender and sexuality\, the politics of patronage\, the place of allusion\, and conceptions of artifice and naturalness in Chinese aesthetic thought. In as much as these texts struggle to document the evanescence of live performance\, they also reflect on the purpose and limitations of writing itself. \n\n\n\nIn general\, the workshop will ask what it means to speak of “performance theory” in the premodern Chinese context. At the same time\, the workshop seeks to uncover valuable perspectives from premodern China for teachers\, students\, and practitioners of the performing arts today. \n\n\n\nAgendaFriday\, April 129:30 AM: Introductory Remarks \n\n\n\n10:00 AM: Panel 1 – Thinking through PerformanceChair: David Wang\, Harvard UniversityThomas Kelly\, Harvard University\, “Writing Evanescence: Pan Zhiheng’s Essays on Acting”Ling Hon Lam\, UC Berkeley\, “In Search of Bad Singing: A Disarticulation of the Automaton\, or a Mathematical Critique of ‘Self-So’ Cosmology” \n\n\n\n12:00 PM: Lunch \n\n\n\n1:00 PM: Panel 2 – Performance as Method in Song and Oral StorytellingChair: Si Nae Park\, Harvard UniversityPatricia Sieber\, The Ohio State University\, “Surprise as Method: Performance Aesthetics in Yuan Sanqu Songs”Canaan Morse\, Boston University\, “The Image of the Book and the Performance of Reading in The Drunken Man’s Talk and the Early Huaben” \n\n\n\n3:30 PM: Panel 3 – Performing SpectatorshipChair: Wai-yee Li\, Harvard UniversityYinghui Wu\, UCLA\, “The Passion for Performance and Performers in the Late Ming: Between Therapy\, Obsession\, and Bad Karma”Ming Tak Ted Hui\, Oxford University\, “Vocal Imaginaries: Connoisseurship of the Operatic Voice in the 16th Century” \n\n\n\nSaturday\, April 13 \n\n\n\n9:30 AM: Panel 4 – Translation WorkshopJudith Zeitlin (University of Chicago)\, Yiren Zheng (Dartmouth University)\, and Tom Kelly will lead a group discussion of essays by Pan Zhiheng 潘之恆 (1556–1622) on acting\, singing\, and theater.Zheng: 蘇舌師；馬手樂 (9:30–10:20)Zeitlin: 獨音；敘曲；李紉之 (10:30–11:20)Kelly: 仙度；原近 (11:30–12:20) \n\n\n\n12:30 PM: Lunch \n\n\n\n2:00 PM: Panel 5 – Theater and Theatricality   Chair: Catherine Yeh\, Boston UniversityGuojun Wang\, McGill University\, “Bibliography as Critique: Cataloging and Categorizing Drama in Premodern China”Kangni Huang\, Harvard University\, “Rethinking Meta-Theater: From Wu Bing to Jiang Shiquan”4:30 PM: Roundtable – New DirectionsFor more information\, contact Thomas Kelly at thomas_kelly@fas.harvard.edu.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Discussion of Technology and Innovation in China 
DESCRIPTION:***THIS EVENT HAS REACHED CAPACITY\, ONLY PRE-REGISTERED ATTENDEES WILL BE ADMITTED*** \n\n\n\nSpeakers:Bo An\, 2023-24 An Wang Postdoctoral Fellow\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies Andrew Kennedy\, Associate Professor\, Crawford School of Public Policy\, Australian National UniversityModerator:Iain Johnston\, Governor James Albert Noe and Linda Noe Laine Professor of China in World Affairs\, Harvard UniversityFeaturing two short research presentations followed by a roundtable discussion.  \n\n\n\nPost-maintenance: the Chinese Software Crisis in the 1980s\, presented by Bo An \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I present a brief history of early Chinese computer software leading up to a crisis in maintenance in the 1980s\, which was one of the main causes for the failure of building an indigenous computing industry in the PRC. Through this forgotten chapter\, I hope to shed light on the broader context of the shift during the Deng period from self-reliance to foreign technology transfer\, especially from the perspective of technological infrastructure. This allows a more nuanced understanding of the post-socialist transition and the dynamics between self-reliance and foreign dependency\, as well as between the issues of innovation and maintenance in a long history of technology.  \n\n\n\nBo An holds a combined Ph.D. in East Asian Languages and Literatures and Film and Media Studies from Yale University. Based on research into the history and theory of information technology in modern China\, his dissertation examines the rise of computing in the People’s Republic of China between the 1940s and 1980s. Dr. An is currently investigating post-1980s applied computing and the longer global history of science behind it.   \n\n\n\nChina’s New Paradigm: How the Party Learned to Love the Innovation System\, presented by Andrew Kennedy  \n\n\n\nChina’s pursuit of “innovation-driven development” has become central to its rise in the 21st century.  China’s approach to science\, technology\, and innovation has evolved considerably\, however\, and remains difficult to understand.  This presentation highlights the policy paradigms behind China’s changing approach and how CCP leaders have embraced and localized the concept of the innovation system in particular.     \n\n\n\nAndrew Kennedy is Associate Professor in the Crawford School of Public Policy at the Australian National University.  He is the author of The Conflicted Superpower: America’s Collaboration with China and India in Global Innovation (Columbia 2018) and The International Ambitions of Mao and Nehru: National Efficacy Beliefs and the Making of Foreign Policy (Cambridge 2012)\, among others.  His current research focuses on China’s approach to science and technology since 1949 and China’s rise as a technology power in the 21st century. Please register for this discussion at: https://forms.office.com/r/6PBbnhWYm9.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Special Presentation featuring Christopher Rea - From Zhuangzi’s Gourd to Cinderella’s Pumpkin: Gua 瓜 as a Vehicle for the Imagination
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christopher Rea\, Professor of Chinese\, Former Director of the Centre for Chinese Research\, University of British ColumbiaModerator: David Der-wei Wang\, Edward C. Henderson Professor of Chinese Literature\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThe Daoist philosopher Zhuangzi tells us that one remedy for a lack of imagination is to take your gourd for a ride. Confucius makes a point about usefulness by comparing himself to a gourd (or is it a melon?). Gua 瓜 (cucurbits)—which include gourds\, melons\, pumpkins\, squash\, and bitter melon—abound in Chinese philosophy\, art\, poetry\, historiography\, and storytelling\, notably in late imperial novels such as Jin Ping Mei\, Journey to the West\, and Story of the Stone. Why? Christopher Rea argues that gua have several qualities that account for their enduring popularity in the figurative imagination\, including their sound\, shape\, seasonality\, variety\, and abundance. \n\n\n\nThis talk shares examples of how the cucurbitaceae—a vast family that is as diverse in its metaphorical usages as in its species—has been used in Chinese and other contexts as a vehicle for the imagination. The humble gua 瓜 has been used to represent ideas of consequence\, both physical—human anatomy\, China\, the earth—and conceptual—moral peril\, wealth\, glory days. Gua are a vehicle for rethinking the taxonomies that drive cultural historiography\, the distinctions scholars make between here and there\, this and that. In particular\, this talk will focus on why gua associations tend to be overripe\, and on how Chinese (and non-Chinese) sources have used melons and their kin to represent time itself. \n\n\n\nChristopher Rea is Professor of Chinese and former Director of the Centre for Chinese Research at the University of British Columbia. He is the creator of the Chinese Film Classics Project\, whose website ChineseFilmClassics.org hosts the world’s largest online collection of early Chinese films with English subtitles\, as well as film clips\, essays\, links\, and an online course on early Chinese films. The websiteand the course are companions to his book Chinese Film Classics\, 1922-1949 (Columbia\, 2021)\, which has a Chinese edition forthcoming. Rea is also the author of the Levenson Prize-winning The Age of Irreverence: A New History of Laughter in China (California\, 2015; Rye Field\, 2018) and the co-author of Where Research Begins: Choosing a Research Project That Matters to You (and the World) (with Thomas Mullaney; Chicago\, 2022)\, which is also available in Chinese\, Japanese\, Korean\, and Polish. He is currently working on a second volume of The Book of Swindles (Columbia\, 2017) and on a cultural history of gua 瓜. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Daniel A. Bell - China’s Struggle between Communism and Confucianism
DESCRIPTION:Register FOR HYBRID ZOOM attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Daniel A. Bell\, Professor\, Chair of Political Theory with the Faculty of Law\, University of Hong KongDiscussants: Peter Bol\, Charles H. Carswell Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard UniversityYuhua Wang\, Professor of Government\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nDuring China’s Cultural Revolution\, Chairman Mao’s Red Guards denounced Confucius for fostering “bad elements\, rightists\, monsters\, and freaks.” But in recent decades\, the Communist Party embraced the ancient philosopher\, who emphasized a combination of benevolence and social order. Party Secretary Xi Jinping\, determined to maintain stability\, is once again promoting stern Communist rhetoric and values. Will China eventually find a way to integrate these two traditions? And what can the struggle between Communism and Confucianism tell us about China’s future path?  \n\n\n\nConfucian expert Daniel A. Bell will explore these questions with Harvard University’s Peter Bol\, Charles H. Carswell Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, and Yuhua Wang\, Professor of Government who recently published The Rise and Fall of Imperial China. Bell’s new book The Dean of Shandong\, is an insider’s view of Chinese academia and what it tells us about China’s political system. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel A. Bell  (貝淡寧) is Professor\, Chair of Political Theory with the Faculty of Law at the University of Hong Kong. He served as Dean of the School of Political Science and Public Administration at Shandong University (Qingdao) from 2017 to 2022.   His books include The Dean of Shandong (2023)\,  Just Hierarchy (co-authored with Wang Pei\, 2020)\, The China Model (2015)\, The Spirit of Cities (co-authored with Avner de-Shalit\, 2012)\, China’s New Confucianism (2008)\, Beyond Liberal Democracy (2007)\, and East Meets West (2000)\, all published by Princeton University Press.  He is also the author of Communitarianism and Its Critics (Oxford University Press\, 1993).  \n\n\n\nBell is founding editor of the Princeton-China series (Princeton University Press)\, which translates and publishes original and influential academic works from China. His works have been translated in 23 languages. He has been interviewed in English\, Chinese\, and French.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Generative AI for East Asian Studies
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop introduces the use of generative AI. Generative AI refers to a category of artificial intelligence algorithms that generate new outputs based on data. Unlike traditional AI systems that recognize patterns and make predictions\, generative AI can create new content in the form of texts as well as images and audio. It enables one to work across languages (e.g.\, asking for answers in English about a text in classical Chinese). The workshop will cover the theory behind it\, the common misconceptions about it\, and showcase several tools. We will offer use case demonstrations for summarization\, data cleaning\, and visualization. Use cases may involve Chinese texts\, but the techniques can be applied to across East Asian Studies. Organized by the Digital China Initiative of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies and China Biographical Database project. \n\n\n\nThis is an in-person event that will not be recorded or live-streamed. \n\n\n\nWe recommend that attendees register for a ChatGPT account: (https://chat.openai.com/chat). You can also use its alternatives\, such as Microsoft New Bing\, Google Bard\, Notion AI\, etc.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Adrian Zenz - Xinjiang Update: What New Documents Tell Us About Beijing’s Evolving Internment Policy
DESCRIPTION:Read our blog post on the event: Xinjiang Update: Beijing’s Evolving Internment Policy \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Adrian Zenz\, Senior Fellow and Director in China Studies\, Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation \n\n\n\nModerator: Mark C. Elliott\, Vice Provost for International Affairs\, Mark Schwartz Professor of Chinese and Inner Asian History\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nSince the start of Beijing’s campaign of interning Uyghurs and other ethnic groups in its northwestern region of Xinjiang in re-education camps\, the most pertinent evidence on the nature and impact of these policies has come from public and internal (classified) government documents. However\, nearly all of this documentation was limited to latter (implementation-related) stages of the policy cycle\, leaving scholars in the dark about crucial aspects of the deliberations and decision-making processes behind the policies. Between late 2021 and mid-2022\, two important caches of new internal files have been made public\, including classified speeches by Xi Jinping and by Zhao Kezhi\, China’s former Minister of Public Security. This presentation seeks to elucidate what these new files can tell us about the evolution of Beijing’s policies in the region\, the role of the central government in the process\, and the potential scale of the campaign of mass internment. \n\n\n\nDr. Adrian Zenz is Senior Fellow and Director in China Studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation\, Washington\, D.C. (non-resident). His research focus is on China’s ethnic policy and Beijing’s campaign of mass internment\, securitization and forced labor in Xinjiang\, as well as ethnic minority education and labor programs in Tibet. Dr. Zenz is the author of Tibetanness under Threat and co-editor of Mapping Amdo: Dynamics of Change. He has played a leading role in the analysis of leaked Chinese government documents\, including the “China Cables\,” the “Karakax List\,” the “Xinjiang Papers\,” and the Xinjiang Police Files. Dr. Zenz has provided expert testimony to the governments of Germany\, France\, the United Kingdom\, Canada\, and the United States. He is a member of the Association of Asian Studies. He has published opinion pieces with Foreign Policy\, Foreign Affairs\, The New York Times\, and The Wall Street Journal. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:How Soy Sauce Shapes Modern China: The Power of an Everyday Food - 2023 Fairbank Center Reischauer Lecture Series featuring Angela KC Leung\, Night Three\, "Soy Sauce in Crisis: China’s First Engagement with Technoscience"
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.

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.

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:Urban China Series featuring Tang Beibei - The Making of “New Citizens:” Landless Farmers and Urban Governance in China
DESCRIPTION:Zoom meeting link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Tang Beibei\, Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University \n\n\n\nThis talk examines landless farmers who have entered Chinese urban life as urban residents in an organized and managed way as cities expand and spread. It explores in what ways and to what extent the central government’s initiatives on the integration of landless farmers into the urban economy and urban society have been carried out at local levels and how the local state has responded to the emergence of landless farmers in the cities. Through qualitative research into landless farmers in the city of Suzhou\, this study explores urban development not only as incorporation through the market\, but also as economic and social integration through local governance. Governance of landless famers has become a local state-building process through developing local urbanization trajectories\, local fiscal strategies\, and inter-city competition. As a result\, the making of new citizens goes hand in hand with local state-building during China’s urbanization.  \n\n\n\n​Beibei Tang is Professor of China Studies at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. She has undertaken extensive ethnographic research across different localities in China\, with particular focuses on local govern­ance\, social stratification\, and state-society relations in urban China. Her research is published in high-impact journals such as The China Quarterly\, The China Journal\, and Journal of Contemporary China. She is the author of Governing Neighborhoods in Urban China (Cornell University Press 2023) and China’s Housing Middle Class (Routledge 2018)\, the co-author of Class and the Communist Party of China\, 1978-2021 (Routledge 2022)\, the co-editor of Suzhou in Transition (Routledge 2021)\, and the winner of the 2015 Gordon White Prize (The China Quarterly). She is a member of the editorial board of The China Journal and The China Quarterly. \n\n\n\nThis event series is made possible by the generous support of the MIT Sustainable Urbanization Lab\, the School of Community and Regional Planning at the University of British Columbia\, and the Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
