SUMMARY:China's Clean Energy Engagement in Central Asia
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:Yipeng Zhou\, Coordinator\, Imperiia Project / A.M. in Regional Studies–REECAChristoph Nedopil\, Director\, Green Finance and Development Center\, Fanhai International School of Finance\, Fudan UniversityAlmas Chukin\, Managing Partner\, Visor Kazakhstan \n\n\n\nModerator: Nargis Kassenova\, Senior Fellow; Director\, Program on Central Asia\, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies \n\n\n\nChina has become a global leader in clean energy in recent years. Exporting renewable energy technologies and equipment is at the core of China’s plan to go green while remaining prosperous. The five Central Asian countries can benefit from this drive and capitalize on Chinese investments and financing\, technological exchange\, and knowledge sharing in their pursuit of a clean energy transition. Chinese firms have already become important investors in solar and wind farms in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. However\, to fully benefit from these opportunities\, Central Asian countries should carefully consider a number of challenges\, including potential financial and technological dependence and the ramifications of China’s economic slowdown. The panel will feature a presentation of the recent Renewable Energy Transition in Central Asia (RETCA) project publication on the topic. \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Semiconductors and Geopolitics Symposium: The Future of the Global Semiconductor Industry
DESCRIPTION:open to Harvard ID holders – click here to register for waitlist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n***This event is now at capacity. To add your name to the waitlist\, please click the link above. You will be notified by the event organizers if your entry can be confirmed.*** \n\n\n\nAgainst a backdrop of rising U.S.-China tensions\, both countries have accelerated policies to restrict key exports in technological areas critical to economic competitiveness. The global semiconductor industry – largely located in Taiwan – sits at the center of this struggle\, undergoing a fundamental transformation that is affecting supply chains\, investment\, trade\, labor\, national security\, and cost.  \n\n\n\nIn the U.S.\, a defensive industrial policy to limit sensitive exports is being combined with a proactive policy to coordinate with allies to revitalize the American semiconductor manufacturing industry. Spurred on by the passage of the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act of November 2022\, American and international semiconductor manufacturing companies are launching or expanding operations in emerging manufacturing hubs across the U.S. Efforts to develop the semiconductor ecosystem include constructing new manufacturing facilities\, coordinating with suppliers and downstream customers\, adapting to local regulatory environments\, and building the talent central to staffing new facilities.  \n\n\n\nYet significant challenges remain\, relating to talent shortages\, rising costs of a fragmenting supply chain\, partial ecosystems\, striking workplace differences between the U.S. and Taiwan\, and a host of other impediments to success. On Monday\, September 11th\, leading academics and industry experts will come together to discuss the challenges confronting the semiconductor industry – ranging from supply chain to industrial policy and geopolitics.  \n\n\n\n8:30am-9amWelcome: Tony Saich (Harvard Kennedy School) and W.

SUMMARY:Objects of Addiction: Opium\, Empire\, and the Chinese Art Trade
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sarah Laursen\, Alan J. Dworsky Associate Curator of Chinese Art\, Harvard Art Museums \n\n\n\nObjects of Addiction explores the entwined histories of the opium trade and the Chinese art market between the late 18th and early 20th centuries. The first section examines the origins of the opium trade in Asia\, the participation of Massachusetts merchants\, and opium’s devastating effects on Chinese people\, both in China and the United States. The second section highlights the history of imperial art collecting in China and demonstrates the growing appetite for Chinese art in Europe and the United States after the Opium Wars (1839–42\, 1856–60)\, which led to the formation of Harvard’s Chinese art collections. A special section of the exhibition investigates parallels between China’s opium crisis and the opioid epidemic in Massachusetts today.  \n\n\n\nThe program will take place in Menschel Hall on the Lower Level of the Harvard Art Museums. Please enter via the entrance on Broadway. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Urban China Series Featuring Yuan Qifeng: Cross-Border Competition and Governance in the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong\, Hong Kong\, and Macau
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting Link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yuan Qifeng\, Professor\, School of Architecture\, South China University of Technology \n\n\n\nThis talk will be conducted in Mandarin. \n\n\n\nThe concept of the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong\, Hong Kong\, and Macau signifies a national strategic focus on the governance of one country with two systems\, three customs zones\, and across eleven urban regions. However\, within this geographic scope\, cooperation and competition among cities have been ongoing. Since 2008\, the provincial government has been working on the integration of infrastructure among nine mainland cities in the Pearl River Delta. Inter-city competition has posed challenges to regional integration\, particularly due to the unique “administrative economics” in China. This talk primarily discusses the impact on regional structure of several Shenzhen initiatives and Guangzhou’s responses thereto: namely\, Shenzhen’s innovative city building and the development of the Qianhai CBD\, as well as Guangzhou’s designation of Nansha as a “significant strategic platform” of the Greater Bay Area in 2022. \n\n\n\nPresented viz Zoom.Meeting link: https://mit.zoom.us/j/7060207759 \n\n\n\n袁奇峰：粤港澳大湾区的跨界竞争与治理 \n\n\n\n波士顿时间9月19日上午8点半 \n\n\n\n北京时间9月19日晚上8点半 \n\n\n\n伦敦时间9月19日下午1点半 \n\n\n\n新德里时间9月19日下午6点 \n\n\n\n粤港澳大湾区概念的提出标志着一国两制、三个关税区、11个城市区域的治理成为国家战略，但这一地理范畴内的一体化合作与竞争一直在持续。自2008年以来，珠江三角洲由省级政府推动了9市基础设施的一体化，城市间的竞争十分激烈，中国特色的行政区经济成为区域一体化的障碍。本讲重点讨论深圳的创新城市建设和前海开发对区域结构的改变，以及广州通过2022年建立南沙为“深化粤港澳全面合作，立足湾区、协同港澳、面向世界的重大战略性平台”的一系列应对策略。 \n\n\n\n袁奇峰，华南理工大学建筑学院教授。兼任中国城市规划学会学术工作委员会委员、广东省城乡建设工作专家咨询委员会委员，以及广州市、佛山市、湛江市人民政府城市规划委员会委员等。擅长决策型和研究型的城市发展战略规划、大尺度的城市设计。代表作有《改革开放的空间响应:广东城市发展30年》、《广州城市总体发展概念规划研究》等，其中《城市化与土地资本化:珠江三角洲“二次”城市化中的南海模式》一书获得第十二届钱学森城市学“金奖提名奖”。 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture Series Featuring Jennifer Altehenger - When Folding Chairs Became Bestsellers: The Revolutionary Roots of China’s Furniture Exports
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Jennifer Altehenger\, Jessica Rawson Fellow in Modern Asian History\, Associate Professor of Chinese History\, Merton College\, Oxford \n\n\n\nThe People’s Republic of China is one of the world’s leading furniture producers\, and international media frequently report on its furniture exports. Descriptions of how goods from China came to furnish homes and workplaces across the world tend to start with the economic reforms of the 1980s. When they take a longer historical view\, they often gloss over the Mao era (1949-ca. 1976). This gap severs furniture exports from their revolutionary contexts and legacies. After 1949\, Chinese factories shipped wardrobes\, chairs\, cupboards\, tables\, and other items to the Soviet Union\, Australia\, Eastern and Western Europe\, the Middle East\, and many parts of Asia including Hong Kong. Most of the factories that produced export furniture after 1978 were established between the 1940s and 1960s\, their designers trained in state academies\, and their workers apprenticed in the socialist workplace of factories and cooperatives. Notable designs\, such as the Beijing Northern Suburb Timber Mill’s metal folding chair\, date to the 1960s and became bestsellers in the early 1970s. In this talk I explore stories from this world of furniture exports in Mao’s China: how design\, production\, and trade worked; who participated\, benefited\, or lost out; and how these developments laid the foundation for the PRC to become a global producer both of cheap and high-quality furniture.  \n\n\n\nAlso available on Zoom.

SUMMARY:China Economy Lecture Featuring Arthur Kroeber - Has China's Economy Hit the Wall?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Arthur Kroeber\, Founding Partner and Head of Research\, Gavekal Dragonomics \n\n\n\nAs China emerged from Covid lockdowns early this year\, many expected that its economy would enjoy a roaring recovery. Instead\, it has stalled out. Is this just a short term problem? Or is it a sign that China’s economy is headed for the “middle income trap” of stagnation thanks to high debt\, an aging population\, and Xi Jinping’s increasingly autocratic rule? \n\n\n\nArthur R. Kroeber is the founder of Gavekal Dragonomics\, a China-focused economic research firm with offices in Beijing and Hong Kong; and partner in its parent firm Gavekal. Before establishing Dragonomics in 2002\, he spent fifteen years as a financial and economic journalist in China and South Asia. He is adjunct professor of economics at the NYU Stern School of Business\, a senior non-resident fellow of the Brookings-Tsinghua Center in Beijing\, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations\, and a member of the National Committee on US-China Relations. His book China’s Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know (2nd edition 2020) is published by Oxford University Press. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:The Chinese Surveillance Technology Industry and its Reception in African Countries
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bulelani Jili\,  Meta Ph.D. Research Fellow\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nBulelani Jili’s research seeks to offer insights into how China’s domestic surveillance market and cyber capability ecosystem operate\, especially given the limited number of systematic studies that have analyzed its industry objectives. For the Chinese government\, investment in surveillance technologies advances both its ambitions of becoming a global technology leader as well as its means of domestic social control. These developments also foster further collaboration between state security actors and private tech firms. Accordingly\, the tech firms that support state cyber capabilities range from small cyber research startups to leading global tech enterprises. The state promotes surveillance technology and practices abroad through diplomatic exchanges\, law enforcement cooperation\, and training programs. These efforts encourage the dissemination of surveillance devices\, but also support the government’s goals concerning international norm-making in multilateral and regional institutions. \n\n\n\nThe proliferation of Chinese surveillance technology and cyber tools and the associated linkages between both state and private Chinese entities with those in other states\, especially in the Global South\, is a valuable component of Chinese state efforts to expand and strengthen their political and economic influence worldwide. Although individual governments purchasing Chinese digital tools have their local ambitions in mind\, Beijing’s export and promotion of domestic surveillance technologies shape the adoption of these tools in the Global South. As such\, investigating how Chinese actors leverage demand factors for their own aims\, does not undercut the ability of other countries to detect and determine outcomes. Rather it demonstrates an interplay between Chinese state strategy and local political environments. In this presentation\, Mr. Jili will focus on key features in China’s surveillance ecosystem\, and touch upon the key ‘pull factors’ from African countries and their significance for US interests. \n\n\n\nBulelani Jili is a Meta Ph.D. Research Fellow at Harvard University\, where he is pursuing a Ph.D. in African studies and anthropology. His research interests include Africa-China relations; Cybersecurity; ICT development; African Political Economy; Internet Policy; Chinese Business Law; Law and Development; and Privacy Law. He is also a Cybersecurity Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; a Fellow at the Atlantic Council; a Visiting Fellow at Yale Law School; and is conducting research with the China\, Law\, Development project at Oxford University. Born in Durban\, South Africa\, he received an M.Phil. from Cambridge University\, M.A. in Economics from Peking University\, and B.A.\, in Politics\, Philosophy\, and Economics from Wesleyan University. \n\n\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided. \n\n\n\nSponsored by East Asian Legal Studies. Co-sponsored by the Department of African and African American Studies and the Department of Anthropology. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar featuring Charles Hartman - Structures of Governance in Song Dynasty China
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Charles Hartman\, University at Albany\, Emeritus \n\n\n\nThis lecture will introduce my recent book\, Structures of Governance in Song Dynasty China 960-1279 CE (Cambridge\, 2023). Together with its historiographical prelude\, The Making of Song Dynasty History: Sources and Narratives (Cambridge\, 2021)\, Structures of Governance seeks to go beyond the static organizational charts of the official Song History (宋史) of 1345 and offers a new model for thinking about Song governance as a continuum of possible administrative modalities. This continuum\, or spectrum of possibilities\, links (1) a Confucian preference for established institutions and precedents that circumscribed imperial power and (2) the monarchy’s preference for an ad hoc\, pan-sectarian “technocracy.” The result is a more expansive view of political culture as a “technocratic-Confucian continuum.” On the one hand\, this model emphasizes how the Song monarchs transformed the imperial clan\, its affines\, eunuchs\, and female palace bureaucrats into a complex corporation that both enabled and benefited from the rapid expansion of the commercial economy. On the other hand\, it argues that there were few committed and effective Confucian politicians and\, although intellectually and socially influential\, they existed in constant political tension with imperial technocrats. \n\n\n\nProfessor Charles Hartman received his PhD in Chinese literature from Indiana University in 1975. He published Han Yü and the T’ang Search for Unity (Princeton University Press) in 1986\, which received the Levinson Prize from the Association for Asian Studies. Over the past thirty years\, his articles on Song dynasty historiography in the Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies\, T’oung Pao\, and the Journal of Song-Yuan Studies have prepared the way for his current research on how political decision-making influenced Song historical writing. His book\, The Making of Song Dynasty History: Sources and Narratives (Cambridge\, 2021)\, reviews the compilation of the major works that survive from official Song historiography and distills from these an embedded narrative — a “grand allegory of Song history” that reflects tension between a model of governance based on Confucian institutionalism and another based on the Song monarchy’s pan-sectarian\, technocratic preferences. His latest work\, Structures of Governance in Song Dynasty (Cambridge\, 2023) develops this distinction at length and offers a new model for thinking about the deeper structures of Song governance and of pre-modern China more generally. This model\, the “technocratic-Confucian continuum\,” reframes the prevailing notion of Confucian political dominance and expands the definition of Song political culture to embrace all its actors. \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. In 2018\, he was awarded the Huilin Prize and was honored as a “Cultural Leader” by the World Economic Forum. \n\n\n\nAlso available via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Lung Yingtai - My Life in an Indigenous Village
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lung Yingtai\, Writer\, Former Minister of Culture of TaiwanChair: Elizabeth J. Perry\, Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute; Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nSince Lung Yingtai relocated to an indigenous village in eastern Taiwan three years ago\, she sought to comprehend the elements that comprise her life\, including the journey of her daily water supply from the mountain’s depths to her garden pond. Furthermore\, she regularly encounters cobras\, wild boars and crab-eating mongooses\, prompting her to examine the impact of cultural as well as environmental “encroachment” on the wildlife and people residing in the untouched forest. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Lung Yingtai is a writer\, literary critic and public intellectual. Lung not only has a large number of devoted readers in her native Taiwan\, but her works also have great influence in the Chinese-language world in Singapore\, Malaysia\, China\, and North America. Lung entered public service as Taipei City Government’s first minister of culture in 1999 and served as Taiwan’s inaugural Minister of Culture from 2012-2014. She is author of more than two dozen books\, including essays\, fiction\, reportage\, and literary criticism. Her 1985 book\, The Wild Fire\, created a major cultural stir for its honest and introspective look at the social and political problems facing contemporary Taiwan society. Big River\, Big Sea: Untold Stories of 1949\, published in 2009\, became a must-read in greater China despite that it has been banned in China. She was Hung Leung Hao Ling Distinguished Fellow in Humanities at the University of Hong Kong from 2015-2020. \n\n\n\nOrganized by the Harvard-Yenching Institute\, and co-sponsored with the Harvard University Asia Center\, the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, and the Boston University Center for the Study of Asia \n\n\n\nMore information: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/my-life-in-an-indigenous-village/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Ian Johnson - Sparks: China’s Underground Historians
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ian Johnson\, Senior Fellow for China Studies\, Council on Foreign RelationsDiscussant: Annie Jieping Zhang\, Reporter\, Columnist\, and Entrepreneur \n\n\n\nHarvard Book Store welcomes Ian Johnson — journalist whose work has won numerous prizes for his coverage of China\, including a Pulitzer Prize— for a discussion of his new book Sparks: China’s Underground Historians and Their Battle for The Future. He will be joined in conversation by reporter\, columnist and entrepreneur\, ANNIE JIEPING ZHANG. \n\n\n\nSparks: China’s Underground Historians and their Battle for the Future describes how some of China’s best-known writers\, filmmakers\, and artists have overcome crackdowns and censorship to forge a nationwide movement that challenges the Communist Party on its most hallowed ground: its control of history. \n\n\n\nThe past is a battleground in many countries\, but in China it is crucial to political power. In traditional China\, dynasties rewrote history to justify their rule by proving that their predecessors were unworthy of holding power. Marxism gave this a modern gloss\, describing history as an unstoppable force heading toward Communism’s triumph. The Chinese Communist Party builds on these ideas to whitewash its misdeeds and glorify its rule. Indeed\, one of Xi Jinping’s signature policies is the control of history\, which he equates with the party’s survival. \n\n\n\nBut in recent years\, a network of independent writers\, artists\, and filmmakers have begun challenging this state-led disremembering. Using digital technologies to bypass China’s legendary surveillance state\, their samizdat journals\, guerilla media posts\, and underground films document a regular pattern of disasters: from famines and purges of years past to ethnic clashes and virus outbreaks of the present–powerful and inspiring accounts that have underpinned recent protests in China against Xi Jinping’s strongman rule. \n\n\n\nBased on years of first-hand research in Xi Jinping’s China\, Sparks challenges stereotypes of a China where the state has quashed all free thought\, revealing instead a country engaged in one of humanity’s great struggles of memory against forgetting—a battle that will shape the China that emerges in the mid-21st century. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Urban China Series Featuring Li Zhigang: China’s New Experiments of Urban Neighborhood Governance
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting Link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Li Zhigang\, Professor of Urban Studies and Planning\, School of Urban Design\, Wuhan University\, China \n\n\n\n***This talk will be in Mandarin*** \n\n\n\nChina faces significant challenges in neighborhood governance\, particularly in old and dilapidated neighborhoods (老旧社区). In this context\, some new and experimental approaches to neighborhood governance have emerged. This talk focuses on three representative cases: Jinsong in Beijing\, and Huajin and Xima in Wuhan. I argue that the governance restructuring in these communities has been experimental and has been driven primarily by grassroots governments. Their objectives include addressing the service and resource deficiencies faced by residents and bolstering the influence of the CCP at the grassroots level. By using a variety of approaches to integrate both market and social forces\, the state has articulated the new concept of a ‘complete community’. In essence\, these experiments epitomize ‘state entrepreneurism’\, which on one hand stresses the capitalization of space and on the other\, advocates for the socialization of capital. \n\n\n\nLi Zhigang is a professor of urban studies and planning at the School of Urban Design\, Wuhan University\, China. He also serves as the dean of this school. Before 2015\, Prof Li worked at the School of Geography and Planning\, Sun Yat-sen University\, Guangzhou\, China. As an urban scholar\, geographer\, and planner\, Professor Li works on the socio-spatial transformation of urban China\, with a focus on such topics as neighbourhoods\, migration\, health\, and related planning issues. His recent work concentrates on the effects of China’s neighbourhood transformation and related planning as well as governance issues. Professor Li is serving as the editor of some top journals such as the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research\, Urban Studies\, etc.. He has been the principal investigator of five research projects funded by China’s NFC\, including one Excellent Youth Foundation. Prof Li has been awarded China’s ‘National Award for Young Geographers’ and ‘National Award for Young Planners’. \n\n\n\nWe would like to thank the MIT Sustainable Urbanization Lab\, the Ashoka University Centre for China Studies\, the University of British Columbia’s School of Community and Regional Planning\, the University at Buffalo (SUNY)\, and the Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies for supporting this event.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare’s Influence on Modern Chinese Literature and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tianhu Hao\, Zhejiang University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Chair/discussant: David Damrosch\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nShakespeare has had an important influence upon modern Chinese literature and culture since the 1830s\, which constitutes a significant part of Shakespeare’s global impact. Based on the rich sources recently accessible in Chinese and English databases\, this article reconsiders Shakespeare’s impact on modern China\, especially in the indigenization of the sonnet and the rise of huaju (spoken drama). The abundant\, newly discovered data reveal Shakespeare’s multi-faceted contributions to the shaping of modern Chinese literature and culture. This is a modest effort to revise literary\, theatrical\, and cultural histories. \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/shakespeares-influence-on-modern-chinese-literature-and-culture/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China featuring Yao Yang - China’s New Era: Reversing the Dire Consequences of 40 Years of Reform
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yao Yang\, Dean\, National School of Development at Peking University \n\n\n\nForty years of reform and opening up have resulted in rapid growth and rising living standards for many Chinese\, but also left a series of dire consequences.  Professor YAO Yang\, Dean of the National School of Development at Peking University\, explains how the economic agenda of President Xi Jinping is intended to address and reverse some of these consequences.  While these measures may suppress the economy and trigger a near-term slowdown\, the hope is that if such measures succeed\, the Chinese economy will emerge healthier\, more equitable\, and more innovative.   \n\n\n\nAlso available via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Harvard CAMLab Fall Public Visits
DESCRIPTION:reserve a tour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring Public Visits\, CAMLab welcomes our audiences to explore immersive installations that stage cultural history with digital technologies. \n\n\n\nCAMLab Cave Public Visits are guided group tours. Reservations are limited to 15 per hour\, in order to preserve the experiential dimension of CAMLab’s multisensorial project installations. Tours are led by a team of Harvard Student Educators\, hailing from graduate programs across the university as well as Harvard College. \n\n\n\nCurrently installed in CAMLab Cave\, the Cave Dance and Embodied Architecture projects activate the narrative\, cultural\, and sensorial potentials of interpreting historical data. \n\n\n\nCave Dance integrates thousands of depictions of dance from Dunhuang with motion capture of trained dancers\, who performed movements preserved by textual records. With this human-computer collaborative choreography as its foundation\, the Cave Dance installation instantiates movement sequences within ethereal motifs and enacts the “bodiless body\,” a state of transcendence epitomized by celestial dancers at Dunhuang. \n\n\n\nCombining photogrammetry with procedural generation and CGI\, Embodied Architecture presents the world’s most comprehensive 3D model of the Yingxian pagoda\, the world’s tallest timber structure. Serving as a stage for opening a cosmological understanding\, the installation progressively unfolds the multisensory experience that the pagoda embodies—elucidating the lens of ritual practice. \n\n\n\nAdvanced reservations are required\, and all are welcome. Tickets are pay-as-you-wish\, with $10.00 suggested for non-Harvard visitors. Proceeds directly support CAMLab’s future research and projects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Film Screening - People and Their Virtue: "Man in Black" by Wang Bing
DESCRIPTION:order tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWang Bing’s first work made outside of China\, this one-hour featurette boldly announces a new phase in the director’s career. Shot at the historic Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in Paris\, it stages a biographical encounter with eighty-six-year-old modern classical composer Wang Xilin\, whose anti-Communist sentiments made him the target of intense persecution and abuse during the Cultural Revolution. Standing naked against the empty theater’s distressed architecture\, the artist proceeds to sing\, play piano\, contort his scarred body into odd shapes\, and eventually recount the torture he endured at the hands of Mao’s army—all while excerpts from his compositions erupt in irregular measures on the soundtrack. Working with a French crew that includes cinematographer Caroline Champetier and editor Claire Atherton\, Wang adopts a newly liberated style in which the fluidity of the camera and montage acts as a fitting frame for the vivid expression of historical trauma. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
