SUMMARY:Film Screening - The Stormy Night by Zhu Shouju
DESCRIPTION:Discussant: Shi Chuan\, professor\, The Shanghai Theater Academy\, Vice President of the Shanghai Film Association\, and Chief Curator\, Shanghai Film Museum. \nMore than 650 films were reportedly made in China between 1921 and 1931\, yet no more than twenty have survived the wars that followed. The serendipitous rediscovery of Zhu Shouju’s 1925 film The Stormy Night gives us a rare opportunity to learn about this significant yet forgotten era of Chinese silent cinema. \nhttps://library.harvard.edu/film/films/2019marmay/stormy.html \n

SUMMARY:Susan Greenhalgh - Coca-Cola in China: the Role of Foreign Industry Funding in China’s Health Science and Policy
DESCRIPTION:Susan Greenhalgh is the John King and Wilma Cannon Fairbank Research Professor of Chinese Society in the Anthropology Department at Harvard University. She is an author\, anthropologist\, and specialist on contemporary China. Greenhalgh’s work has been recognized by several life-time career achievement awards. The BMJ recently published her article titled “Making China Safe for Coke: How Coca-Cola Shaped Obesity Science and Policy in China.” The article sheds light on a rarely discussed controversy within China’s health field over the use and effects of industry funding. On one side are those who maintain that\, with the National Commission on Health overburdened by many health crises\, corporate funding is badly needed and does not color the science because China’s researchers know the difference between good and bad science. On the other side are those who believe that any corporate funding invariably affects the science that is done\, usually with unfortunate results. Who is right? This debate will be the focus of the upcoming China Health Partnership seminar. Please read Professor Greenhalgh’s article (https://www.bmj.com/content/364/bmj.k5050) and join us for lively discussion

SUMMARY:Başak Bilecen - Chinese International Students’ Networks at Elite Universities: A Comparative Study of Germany and the US
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Başak Bilecen\, Rosalind Franklin Assistant Professor of Sociology\, University of Groningen\nChair: Muriel Rouyer\, Adjunct Professor of Public Policy\, Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School; Local Affiliate\, CES\, Harvard University \n In migration scholarship\, the role of social networks has been well-established in people’s decisions on whether to migrate and where to migrate to. Recently\, international student mobility literature has shown that networks\, parental aspirations and socio-economic background play an important role in an individual’s study-abroad decisions. Over the past few decades many countries\, including Germany and the United States\, have witnessed a tremendous increase in the number of international students applying to universities\, with the majority coming from China. Based on personal network analysis and qualitative interviews with Chinese international students enrolled at elite universities in Germany and in the US\, Başak Bilecen will compare and contrast how networks effect study abroad decisions. She will show that these decisions are based on the networks of the individual students as well as their country of origin and the educational institutions. \nhttps://bit.ly/2XC5KTL

SUMMARY:Allan Layug - Order in International Thought: Unpacking China’s Concept of World Order
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Allan Layug\, PhD Candidate\, University of Queensland; Associate\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\nDiscussant: Robert Ross\, Professor of Political Science\, Boston College \nHow do we conceptualize China’s world order? What are its defining characteristics? Whose ideas matter in conceptualizing it—and why? And how do the different conceptions affect the Chinese world-ordering projects in the 21st century? These are the key questions the lecture aims to address. Specifically\, it will lay out the ideational foundations of order from the ancient to the modern Chinese thought\, exploring key ideas from Confucius to Sun Yatsen. It will unpack the bones of contention on conceptualization\, construction\, maintenance\, and transformation of world order in the contemporary period\, tracing change and continuity in Mao Zedong Thought\, Deng Theory\, Xi Jinping Thought. It will provide a four-level analysis: (a) analytical level\, where Chinese concept of order and its key characteristics are defined and analyzed\, (b) logical level\, where the reasoning behind such a conception is discussed\, (c) theoretical level\, where the concept is viewed from different theoretical points of view\, and (d) field of debate level\, where the parameters\, axes\, and forms of argument framing the debate in the Chinese world are analyzed. The lecture will conclude on some thoughts about the future trajectory of world ordering the Chinese Way.

SUMMARY:Felix Wemheuer - Rebels in Power: Factionalism in Shandong during China’s Cultural Revolution (1966-1969)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Felix Wemheuer\, Chair Professor of Modern China Studies\, University of Cologne \nDuring the early Cultural Revolution (1966-1969)\, factional conflicts inside the CCP (Communist Party of China) and within the society resulted in civil war and the almost collapse of the party-state. Wemheuer will present Shandong Province as a case study for the development of factional conflicts at the various administrative levels of state and society. Based on various field trips\, archival research and Oral History interviews with former rebel leaders\, it will be shown how the coalition of rebel cadres\, students\, workers and soldiers was created in Shandong and why they were able to “seize power” in February of 1967. The events and developments that ultimately led to the splitting of the rebels and their final downfall in 1969 will also be examined. The talk will contribute to a new understanding of factional politics. \nFelix Wemheuer belongs to a new generation of Western scholars who are rewriting the history of Maoist China. His publications include Famine Politics in Maoist China and the Soviet Union (Yale UP 2014) and A Social History of Maoist China: Conflict and Change\, 1949-1976 (Cambridge UP 2019). Between 2008 and 2010\, he was a visiting scholar at the Fairbank Center.

SUMMARY:Anne Reinhardt - Navigating Semi-Colonialism: Shipping\, Sovereignty\, and Nation-Building in China 1860-1937
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Anne Reinhardt\, Williams College \nChina’s status in the world of expanding European empires of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has long been under dispute.  Its unequal relations with multiple powers\, secured through a system of treaties rather than through colonization\, has invited debated over the degree and significance of outside control and local sovereignty.  In this talk\, Anne Reinhardt will discuss her recent book\, Navigating Semi-colonialism: Shipping\, Sovereignty\, and Nation-Building in China\, 1860-1937\, which examines steam navigation as a constitutive element of the treaty system in order to elucidate both conceptual and concrete aspects of the semi-colonial regime.

SUMMARY:Zhang Ying - Maimonides’s  Conception of Nature and Zhu Xi’s Doctrine of Principle/Coherence (Li理) and Material Force (Qi氣)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zhang Ying\,  Associate Professor\, Department of Philosophy\, East China Normal University; HYI Visiting Scholar 2018-19\nChair/discussant: David Stern\, Harry Starr Professor of Classical and Modern Jewish and Hebrew Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature\, Harvard University \nMaimonides (1138-1204) and Zhu Xi (1130-1200) are unparalleled in their transformation and renewal of the Jewish and the Confucian traditions\, respectively. Through illustrating Maimonides’s interpretation of the rabbinic notion “the Account of the Beginning” (ma‘aseh bereshith) and Zhu Xi’s reading of the classical texts\, such as the Book of Changes and the Doctrine of the Mean\, the talk will make a comparison of Maimonides’s conception of nature\, which is a key to understanding his Guide of the Perplexed\, and Zhu Xi’s core doctrine of li理 and qi 氣. More specifically\, the focus of the talk will be (1) explaining Maimonides’ statement that the Account of the Beginning is identical with natural science\, and (2) examining Zhu Xi’s understanding of certain notions\, such as nature (xing 性)\, number (shu 數)\, principle/coherence (li 理)\, material force (qi 氣)\, (two primary forces) dark-bright [yin-yang 陰陽]\, five agents (wu xing 五行) and so on. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/maimonidess-conception-nature-and-zhu-xis-doctrine-principlecoherence-li-and-material-force
