SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture Series: (Self-)Disciplining the Corporation: FCPA Practice\, Compliance\, and Global Anti-Corruption Regimes in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Matthew S. Erie\, Associate Professor of Modern Chinese Studies\, University of Oxford \nAn expansive literature examines the question of norm diffusion and legal transplantation\, particularly in regards to democracy\, transparency\, and human rights\, in the developing world\, and\, especially\, China. To the extent that such analyses consider human actors\, these are usually public interest lawyers\, NGOs\, and advocacy groups. Corporate lawyers offer a different view of the interface between foreign (e.g.\, U.S.) law and PRC law—and with different effects. Cross-border lawyers assess multiple sets of rules to advise their clients on local standards of behavior. While they localize norms\, they do not replace them; rather they weigh different standards to opine on best practices. This paper\, based on the author’s legal practice as well as on interviews with corporate lawyers in China\, focuses on the case of anti-corruption compliance\, one of the fastest growing areas of legal practice in China. Specifically\, cross-border lawyers analyze anti-corruption norms across two dynamic regimes: the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act\, an extra-territorial statute passed by Congress in 1977 to curb the bribery of foreign officials by U.S. companies abroad\, and China’s anti-corruption drive\, started in 2012 to remove corrupt members from the Chinese Communist Party. This paper argues that to understand the interaction between norms across jurisdictions\, we must attend to the micro-practices of bi-cultural lawyers in China\, in this case\, those who conduct internal investigations of U.S. clients in an environment of arbitrary regulation. Doing so demonstrates that the “rules of the game” are intimately linked to those who enforce norms. This is especially so in the field of compliance where the user-end customer (pre-emptively) enforces the law. An ethnography of compliance as practices of self-discipline sheds light on the situated logics of lawyering\, just as lawyers are embedded in broader contours of market pressures\, political campaigns\, and U.S.-China relations which condition their logics.

SUMMARY:The "Religion of Images"? - Buddhist Image Worship in the Early Medieval Chinese Imagination
DESCRIPTION:Art historians and scholars of Chinese Buddhism have long recognized that Buddhism exerted a decisive influence on the use of sacred icons within nearly all forms of Chinese religion. So significant was Buddhism’s role in introducing\, popularizing\, or otherwise emphasizing novel image-practices that Buddhism was supposedly known in medieval China as the “religion of images.” Beginning with a consideration of the history and meaning of the term “religion of images\,” this presentation reconsiders certain aspects of this story. Examining the way that sacred icons and their worship are discussed in literary sources\, Dr. Greene suggests that image worship was\, in fact\, not generally perceived as a distinctly Buddhist or non-Chinese practice. Ironically\, image worship was first represented as a “foreign” practice only long after it had already become a part of most forms of Chinese religion.
