SUMMARY:Jianping Ye - Rural Land Tenure System in China: History and Current Reform
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nChina’s rural land tenure system has experienced continuous reforms since 1978\, but has faced new challenges amid rapid urbanization. The institutional structure of the system is complicated and evolving. In this seminar\, Professor Ye will trace the history of institutional and policy changes in China’s rural land tenure system\, and discuss the current reform thinking of the central government. Professor Ye will also present the findings of a survey of arable land in 17 provinces\, which was directed by him and was carried out continuously over the last 15 years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\nJianping Ye is chair professor and head of the Land & Real Estate Research Center in the School of Public Administration at Renmin University\, China. He is an expert in land policy\, land resource management\, and real estate policy. He has led a number of research projects funded by the Chinese National Science Foundation\, and served as advisor or consultant to several Chinese governmental agencies\, including the Ministry of Natural Resources (formerly the Ministry of Land and Resources)\, the Ministry of Housing and Urban and Rural Development\, the National Development and Reform Commission\, and the Development Research Center of the State Council.

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

SUMMARY:Huang Chang-Ling - Fighting for Seats: The Politics of Gender Quotas in East Asia
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Huang Chang-Ling\, Professor of Political Science\, National Taiwan University; HYI Visiting Scholar and Radcliffe Fellow\, 2018-19\nChair/discussant: Mona Lena Krook\,  Professor\, Department of Political Science\, Rutgers University \nThe level of women’s political representation varies in East Asia. Taiwan is the leader with 38 percent of its national legislature comprised of women\, much higher than China’s 23 percent\, South Korea’s 17 percent and Japan’s 10 percent. Taiwan also has the earliest and clearest legal stipulations of gender quotas in politics while Japan has none\, South Korea has had them since the mid-2000s\, and China has quota policies but no laws. Gender quotas as an institution challenges the liberal idea that emphasizes geographical representation and downplays the importance of social representation. This project explores the variations of quota adoption experience within East Asia from a regional history perspective\, especially within the context of the three wars against socialism–the Chinese Civil War\, the Korean War\, and the Cold War–hence to explore the discourses regarding social representation in this region over the past decades. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/fighting-seats-politics-gender-quotas-east-asia

SUMMARY:Christopher Atwood: Environmental Geographies of the Mongol Empire
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christopher Atwood\, Professor\, Mongolian and Chinese Frontier & Ethnic History\, University of Pennsylvania \nThe European conquest of the Americas\, the consequent ecological exchange\, massive mortality\, and rise of plantation economies have been one of the prime topics of environmental history. Less widely understood have been the similar ecological impacts and imperatives of the thirteenth century Mongol empire. Environment has been an important area of focus in the study of Central Eurasian nomads\, but within a framework that takes the relative stability of the ecological infrastructure as a given. The Mongol empire\, however\, resulted in a both a vast expansion of pastoralism and hunting together with the kind of directed agricultural expansion that we usually associate with the early modern world. The result was an environment in Mongol China that looked vastly different from anything in China before or after – and yet which left permanent marks on the Chinese economy and agriculture. This paper will present research on the environmental geography of Mongol empire\, focusing on North China\, showing how distinctive the environment was\, and how Mongol imperial policy used environmental zonation and control of labor as a crucial tool of governance.

SUMMARY:Yi Na - Seeing and Being Seen: The Cultural Roles of Tibetan Thangka
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yi Na\, Associate Professor\, Institute of Ethnic Literature\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; HYI Visiting Scholar 2018-19\nChair/discussant: Gregory Nagy\, Francis Jones Professor of Classical Greek Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature\, Harvard University \n*Please note early (10 am) start time* \nThangka originally is a kind of scroll painting depicting Tibetan Buddhism images on textile. There are always contradictions that seem impossible to reconcile in contemporary Thangka art caused by differentiated cultural roles of Thangka. Thangka’s cultural meaning and role are disparate for different people: In the eyes of ordinary art admirers\, Thangka is a painting full of Tibetan characteristics. In the eyes of traditional Thangka artists\, Thangka’s drawing process is the practice procedure\, and finished product and placement environment forms a religious setting. Commonly\, people will concentrate on how to “see” Thangka\, as well as how to understand what Thangka “say.” However\, the leadoff meaning of Thangka includes the coexistence and symbiosis of seeing and being seen. Through the eyes of Buddhas\, we can observe how the viewed field is constructed by these two. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/seeing-and-being-seen-cultural-roles-tibetan-thangka

SUMMARY:Zuoyue Wang - Transnational Science in Modern China:  From May Fourth to the Cold War and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zuoyue Wang\, California State Polytechnic University\, Pomona \nHow have transnational exchanges\, especially with the United States\, in science and technology shaped and reshaped modern China in the last century since the May Fourth Movement of 1919? This talk explores key players and events in this history from the Science Society of China during the Republican era\, the making of the atomic bomb during the Mao years\, the experiences of Chinese American scientists during the Cold War\, to the emergence of dissident scientists such as Fang Lizhi and the migration of Chinese students/scientists to the US during the reform era. Revisiting John Fairbank’s impact-response thesis\, it argues that we need to examine both how the world changed China and how China changed the world in science and technology. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Asia Center Science and Technology Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Workshop: The Birth of the Chinese Population
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Malcolm Thompson\, An Wang Postdoctoral Fellow\nDiscussant: Gail Hershatter\, Professor of History\, UC–Santa Cruz \nAbstract: What kind of problem is “the population problem” in China? That it would be a problem\, or at least an issue\, seems clear\, but this tells us little about how\, or why\, it was specifically problematized there for the first time in the 1920s and 1930s. This talk—which is based on a book project of the same name—will seek to explain the sudden emergence of the population problem in China in this period not as a realization of something obvious\, but as part of a general transformation of governing as a social practice.

SUMMARY:Playing by the Informal Rules: Why the Chinese Regime Remains Stable despite Rising Protests
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation for a discussion with Yao Li\, China Public Policy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Ash Center\, author of Playing by the Informal Rules: Why the Chinese Regime Remains Stable despite Rising Protests. Elizabeth Plantan\, China Public Policy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Ash Center\, will serve as a respondent. Anthony Saich\, Ash Center Director\, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs\, HKS\, will moderate. \n\n\n\nGrowing protests in non-democratic countries are often seen as signals of regime decline. China\, however\, has remained stable amid surging protests. Playing by the Informal Rules highlights the importance of informal norms in structuring state-protester interactions\, mitigating conflict\, and explaining regime resilience. Drawing on a nationwide dataset of protest and multi-sited ethnographic research\, this book presents a bird’s-eye view of Chinese contentious politics and illustrates the uneven application of informal norms across regions\, social groups\, and time. Through examinations of protests and their distinct implications for regime stability\, Li offers a novel theoretical framework suitable for monitoring the trajectory of political contention in China and beyond. Overall\, this study sheds new light on political mobilization and authoritarian resilience and provides fresh perspectives on power\, rules\, legitimacy\, and resistance in modern societies.

SUMMARY:Shirley Yu - The Belt and Road Initiative: A Discussion of China's Vision and Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Shirley Yu\, Harvard Kennedy School’s Ash Center Fellow\nModerator: Anthony Saich\, Ash Center Director\, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs\n \nThe Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)\, the signature foreign policy by Xi Jinping has served as China’s grand strategy since 2013\, when the idea first arose\, and it will remain relevant until around 2050\, when China is predicted to reach “modernity.” If successfully carried out\, by the second half of the Century\, the ambition is that China would return to its ancient Middle Kingdom status as the center of all nations\, equivalent to a Pax-Sinica.  \nThe BRI is conceptualized as a two-pronged strategy. One is “to maximize engagement with China’s economic growth and power\,” and the other is to build a “community of common destiny for humanity.” One vision is clearly economic\, and the other\, political. The success of the BRI is contingent upon the cohesion and the achievement of both visions in its entirety. The first vision can be empirically achievable. The prevalence of authoritarianism and flawed democracies in the BRI region essentially provides China with the ideal political incubator to expand its model of authoritarian capitalism. The second BRI vision\, a world community built upon a moral order prescribed by Confucianism and communism\, is challenging and important to elucidate by the liberal West\, as this set of defining values will illuminate the fundamental systemic challenges to liberal market capitalism and liberal political order. This talk aims to demystify the two-pronged BRI strategy and its sustainability.   \n

SUMMARY:Alex Wang - Symbolic Legitimacy and Chinese Environmental Reform
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alex Wang\, UCLA \nAt the heart of debates over Chinese rule of law is the question of state legitimacy. Critics argue that legitimacy requires liberal democratic rule of law. Chinese leaders have long relied on performance legitimacy – economic development and maintenance of social stability – as the core basis of their rule. Western scholarship on modern Chinese law and politics has\, to a significant degree\, critiqued the ability of China’s current institutions to perform as claimed. \nBut apart from any actual results that Chinese governance may generate\, the entire project of governance reform can be structured in a way that influences public impressions of state legitimacy. The process of reform is not only about attaining performance goals\, but is itself a kind of performance. This act of “performing performance” also signals competence\, commitment to the people\, tradition\, nationalist strength\, and a host of other positive values to citizens and other audiences. \nThis talk explores the symbolic aspects of Chinese environmental reform and potential implications\, drawing on case studies in air pollution\, climate change\, and China’s Belt & Road Initiative. \nAlex Wang is Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law\, and a leading expert on environmental law and the law and politics of China. His research focuses on the social effects of law\, and the interaction of law and institutions in China and the United States. His previous research has examined\, among other things\, the institutional design of environmental law and policy\, environmental bureaucracy\, public interest litigation\, information disclosure\, and environmental courts. His work has addressed air pollution\, climate change\, and other environmental issues. \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored by the East Asian Legal Studies Program at Harvard Law School.
