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. He has also consulted for the World Bank.

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
