SUMMARY:Matthew Wells - The Vision to Restore the Empire: Manufacturing Monarchy and Empire in the Early 4th Century
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Matthew Wells\, University of Kentucky \nThis presentation will discuss part of an ongoing project that attempts to explain how the early leaders of the Eastern Jin understood and executed what Dennis Grafflin has called the “interesting task of reality construction” that was required for establishing their new empire in Yangzhou 揚州 in the early 4th century. We will trace the efforts of Wang Dao 王導 (276-339) to establish the rule of Sima Rui司馬睿 (276-323)\, who reigned as Emperor Yuan\, by focusing on Wang’s efforts to reach out to southern gentry and former Wu officials for support and guidance. In particular\, I am interested in the way in which three specific individuals were recruited for the task of building the Eastern Jin regime: Gu Rong 顧榮 (d. 312)\, He Xun 賀循 (260-319)\, and Ji Zhan 紀瞻 (253-324). According to the Jin shu editors and sources from the period\, this particular group of southern elites was central to the establishment of the first Jiankang empire. Answering the question of what these three men brought to the table and why their recruitment was so important for Wang Dao is fundamental to understanding Wang’s notions of empire and monarchy\, and the way in which the construction of these institutions relied on the public imagination for their success.

SUMMARY:Yeling Tan - Disaggregating “China\, Inc” - Explaining the Rise of Chinese State Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yeling Tan\, Assistant Professor of Political Science\, University of Oregon \nWhen China joined the WTO in 2001\, conventional wisdom held that global trade rules would provide a credible commitment to liberalization. While significant reforms did take place\, scholars soon pointed to the emergence of a Chinese “state capitalism”. Why did the expansion of market-oriented institutions after WTO entry fail to constrain the subsequent rise of more interventionist developmental policies? What explains the timing of these non-linear policy trajectories? This analysis disaggregates the Chinese central state and unpacks the divergent strategies adopted by competing agencies in response to WTO entry. \nYeling Tan\, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Oregon\, will explain why the timing of this divergence turns on the durability of WTO commitments and the political relationship between China’s party and its state. She will argue that what emerged was an intensified dualism in Chinese economic governance\, with intensified market competition promoted by one set of central agencies\, yet a more consolidated industrial policy promoted by rival agencies. Tony Saich\, Ash Center Director and Daweoo Professor of International Affairs\, will moderate. \nLunch will be served. This event is open to the public\, but seating is first come\, first served. We recommend that you arrive 10-15 minutes early to grab your lunch and a seat. Discussion will begin promptly at noon.

SUMMARY:Huang Xiangchun - The Art of Keeping Appropriate Distance: Practicing “Ethnicity” of the “Dan” (蜑) on the Margins Through Time
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Huang Xiangchun\, Associate Professor of Anthropology\, Xiamen University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2018-19|\nChair/discussant: Robert Weller\, Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, Boston University \nWhat does  “ethnicity” mean in late imperial and modern China? How is it practiced in local society and to what extent does it shape local society and culture? This talk reflects on and responds to these questions by interpreting stories of the “Dan” (蜑\, boat people) from Fuzhou. In the local society and culture of Fuzhou and its water-land ecosystems\, the Dan were a historical “ethnic group” and a “base and marginalized community.” But “Dan” also represented a lifestyle\, a field of social action\, a status discourse\, and a cultural identifying label. The Dan played a number of roles that broke classifactory boundaries\, including fishing people\, taxpayer\, pirate\, smuggler\, tenant\, stowaway\, as well as people of base status (贱民) and barbarian. These roles reflect the fact that the existence of the Dan as an “ethnic” group was a product of deliberate strategy: keeping “appropriate distance” from the state and “decent” society. In this sense\, the Dan occupied a marginal position between “not being governed” and “being governed”. The example of the Dan demonstrates that local society and culture and “ethnicity” were\, to a large extent\, a social-cultural consequence of this historical process of institutionalization. Moreover\, the internalization (or conventionalization) of institutional languages and the appropriation of local symbols (gods and rituals) explains how local Chinese communities could maintain their diversity while sharing in “Chineseness”. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/art-keeping-appropriate-distance-practicing-ethnicity-dan-margins-through-time

SUMMARY:Symposium - Tale of Three Cities: Urban Regeneration Through Design and Cultural Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nYuan Qian\, Director\, Vanke Urban Research Institute\nLemin Zhang\, Xiamen University.\nRuoxi Zhang\, Xiamen University.\nNeill Mclean Gaddes\, Principal\, Sans Practice\nJames Shen\, Principal\, People’s Architecture Office\, Harvard Loeb Fellow 2018\, Research Fellow – Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies \nIn four decades China’s urban population has exploded\, tripling to 58% of its total population. In compari-son to Europe at 74% and North America at 82%\, China has ample room to further urbanize. However\, the unfettered horizontal expansion of cities and the resulting over speculation and urban sprawl has led to severe environmental and social concerns. \nRecognizing this challenge\, President Xi stated at the19th National Congress of the Communist Party that the new urbanization plan will be “people centered” rather than land-driven. The 13th Five-Year plan he referred to\, set a goal to regenerate 20 million residences in shantytowns\, indicating a refocusing of urban development towards distressed locations and upgrading existing urban fabric. \nUrban Regeneration sites such as urban villages and historic districts are typically located near city cen-ters\, making it difficult to employ common tabula rasa urban renewal practices. Confronting dense urban areas with multiple stake holders and unique building and site conditions requires inventive approaches\, multi-disciplinary collaboration\, and public and private partnerships in order to gather the resources needed to tackle such projects. \nThis symposium brings together leading urban practitioners to discuss urban regeneration projects in Da-shilar Beijing\, Hubei in Shenzhen\, and Shapowei in Xiamen. In each case\, Art and Design has played a crucial role through their history of development. This symposium aims to provide a forum for the ex-change of ideas and lessons learned from successes and failures in regard to the actual experience of implementing of innovative urban regeneration strategies.

SUMMARY:Julie Zhu - Life under Mao: the Cultural Revolution and the "Barefoot Doctors"
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Julie Zhu \nUp through the early 1970s\, the “Barefoot Doctor” initiative in China brought primary care to rural China through a cadre of village health workers affectionately referred to as the “Barefoot Doctors.” Julie Zhu was one of them. She was sent to the countryside after high school and worked under the most famous Barefoot Doctor in China\, Lee Sun\, who was praised by Mao and whose stories were in the official newspapers and school text books. In her talk\, Julie will discuss poverty\, medical care\, as well as her experiences living in the countryside under Mao\, using her own photo archive. The audience will have an opportunity to travel back in time and reflect on China’s primary care system from a historical perspective.

SUMMARY:EU-China Trade and Investment Relations: A Vehicle for Cooperation or a Path to Competition?
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nJonathan Brookfield\, Tufts University\nYasheng Huang\, MIT\nPhilippe LeCorre\, Harvard Kenned School \nThe trade and investment ties between the European Union (EU) and China run very deep. The EU is China’s biggest trading partner\, and China is the EU’s second biggest. Yet\, European concerns over a lack of transparency\, protection of intellectual property rights\, and strong government intervention\, have cast the relationship in doubt. At the same time\, China’s recent investments in Europe and its One Belt\, One Road Initiative\, are seen by many Europeans as potential attempts by Beijing to spread its political influence across the European continent\, which provoked combative reactions. However\, the relationship needs not be one characterized by antagonism and suspicion. The speakers will present the current trade and investment relations between the EU and China. In addition\, they will discuss the potential and opportunities for increased cooperation\, as well as potential threats and negative effects of heightened competition\, which a misguided approach towards trade and investment may provoke. \nhttps://ces.fas.harvard.edu/events/2019/04/trade-and-investment-eu-and-china

SUMMARY:Lim Jaehwan - The Rise and Decline of Collective Leadership in China: An Institutional Approach
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lim Jaehwan\, Associate Professor\, Department of International Politics\, Aoyama Gakuin University; HYI Visiting Scholar 2018-19\nChair/discussant: Joseph Fewsmith\, Professor of International Relations and Political Science\, Boston University \nPresident Xi Jinping’s quick and impressive power consolidation has sparked much debate over the current state and future trajectory of the collective leadership in the Chinese Communist Party. Drawing on theories of institutions\, this talk will explore the historical development of collective leadership. Specifically\, with a focus on the post-Mao era\, this talk will trace how the rules and norms about power sharing and leadership transfer within the Party elites have emerged\, developed over time\, and consequently changed the institutional environment in which the current leaders work with each other. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/political-origin-chinese-military-modernization-cultural-revolution-and-re-building-party

SUMMARY:Dagmar Schafer - Lists\, Local Gazeteers\, and the True Lies of Premodern China's Patterns of Social Mobility
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dagmar Schäfer\, Director of Department III\, “Artefacts\, Action\, and Knowledge\,” Max Planck Institute for the History of Science\, Berlin\nChair: Victor Seow\, Assistant Professor of the History of Science\, Harvard University \nSince the 1950s\, historians of China have researched and praised the possibilities of upward mobility in China’s late imperial meritocratic society. Through the civil service examinations\, merchants\, farmers\, and artisans\, irrespective of cultural origin (if not the occasional woman) could achieve official ranks and rise into social and political power. In this talk\, Dagmar Schäfer introduces how lists and local gazetteers—and a digital humanities approach—may help to reveal “other” historical patterns of social mobility and shed new light on historical China’s “scholarly ways.” She will examine the role of expertise in the 13th-century Yuan dynastic census system that registered households categorized by different “crafts\,” look at the inclusion of these lists into the growing genre of Ming-Qing (14th-19th century) local gazetteers\, and explore their implications for China’s current landscape of crafts.

SUMMARY:Paul Cohen - A Path Twice Traveled: My Journey as a Historian of China
DESCRIPTION:Listen again on Soundcloud: \n \nRead and download the transcript for this event here. \nSpeaker: Paul Cohen\, Fairbank Center Associate \nIn his memoir Paul Cohen\, one of the West’s preeminent historians of China\, traces the development of his work from its inception in the early 1960s to the present\, offering fresh perspectives that consistently challenge us to think more deeply about China and the historical craft in general. The book’s title reflects the crucially important disparity between the past as originally experienced and the past as later reconstructed historically\, by which point the historian and the world in which he or she lives have both undergone extensive change. This distinction is very much on Cohen’s mind throughout the book. \nPaul Cohen began his teaching career at the University of Michigan and Amherst College. He then taught for thirty-five years at Wellesley College\, where he is Edith Stix Wasserman Professor of Asian Studies and History\, Emeritus. He is also a long-time Associate of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University. Cohen’s books include Discovering History in China: American Historical Writing on the Recent Chinese Past (1984); History in Three Keys: The Boxers as Event\, Experience\, and Myth (1997); Speaking to History: The Story of King Goujian in Twentieth-Century China (2009); and History and Popular Memory: The Power of Story in Moments of Crisis (2014). History in Three Keys was the winner of the 1997 New England Historical Association Book Award and the American Historical Association’s 1997 John K. Fairbank Prize in East Asian History. Cohen’s work has been translated into Chinese\, Japanese\, and Korean.

SUMMARY:Wei Shang - "The Story of the Stone" and the Visual Culture of the Manchu Court 
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wei Shang\, Columbia University \nThis talk addresses The Story of the Stone (otherwise known as Dream of the Red Chamber\, Honglou meng 紅樓夢)\, authored by Cao Xueqin (ca. 1715–ca. 1763)\, with special focus on its recurrent theme as captured in Chapter 1: “Truth becomes fiction when fiction is true; real becomes not-real where the unreal is real.” Apparently paradoxical\, this theme seems to invite a philosophical and religious interpretation that transcends the time when the novel was written. Instead\, I will trace it to the stimuli of the visual culture permeating the Manchu court in the early and mid-eighteenth century. I seek to examine Cao Xueqin’s representation of the Grand Prospect Garden\, the main residence for the young protagonists\, in light of what may be called the aesthetics of jia 假 (the unreal or fiction) that manifests through all sorts of visual tricks in the interior decoration of imperial palaces and gardens of the time. \nIn this talk\, I will focus on the novel’s explicit and implicit references to paintings\, including an illusionistic painting and an ambitious project undertaken by Xichun to capture a panorama of the garden in one gigantic painting. More specifically\, I emphasize the novelist’s impulse to incorporate into his narrative the popular motifs of the contemporaneous paintings\, including the paintings executed by the Jesuit painters employed by the imperial court. Reading the novel from this perspective highlights issues of enormous importance for the comprehension of the cultural dynamics of the time that in turn participate in shaping the novel itself: the dialectics of reality and illusion\, the mutual fertilization of media and technology\, and the constant negotiations between the written and graphic media and between the Manchu court and Europe in the realm of material and visual cultures.

SUMMARY:Paul Clifford - Huawei Technologies: World-Class Company or State Agent?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Paul Clifford\, Ash Center Nonresident Senior Fellow\nModerator: Anthony Saich\, Ash Center Director and Daewoo Professor of International Affairs \nChina has come a long way from relying on imports to support its telecommunications sector. Today\, telecommunications companies in China not only fulfill that nation’s growing needs but have a global reach. In this context\, how should we understand the stunning and controversial emergence of China’s leading technology firm\, Huawei Technologies? To what extent has Huawei’s rise been due to its leadership\, strategy\, corporate culture and ability to innovate? How much of this success as a “national champion” has been driven by the Chinese Party-State’s industrial policy and support?

SUMMARY:Felix Boecking | Chinese trade wars in historical perspective— No Great Wall: Trade\, Tariffs\, and Nationalism in Republican China\, 1927-1945
DESCRIPTION:Listen to an interview with Felix Boecking on our “Harvard on China” podcast. Download and read the podcast transcript here Download and read the podcast transcript here. \n \nSpeaker: Felix Boecking\, University of Edinburgh \nNo Great Wall (Harvard Asia Center\, 2017)\, an in-depth study of Nationalist tariff policy\, fundamentally challenges the widely accepted idea that the key to the Communist seizure of power in China lay in the incompetence of Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist government. It argues instead that during the second Sino-Japanese War\, China’s international trade\, the Nationalist government’s tariff revenues\, and hence its fiscal policy and state-making project all collapsed. Drawing on the historical lessons of my research\, in this talk\, I will also discuss the unintended consequences of protectionism\, the difficulties of strategising trade wars\, and the differences between trade wars and real wars. \nFelix Boecking is a Senior Lecturer in Modern Chinese Economic and Political History at the University of Edinburgh\, UK\, and currently a Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington DC. Among his research interests are China’s political economy\, the history of economics in the People’s Republic of China\, and the history of China’s foreign relations. His current project at the Wilson Center is “Economics on the Edge: An Intellectual History of Economists in the PRC since 1949.”

SUMMARY:Sebastian Veg - Minjian: the Rise of China’s Grassroots Intellectuals
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sebastian Veg\, School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS)\, Paris \nWhile China’s intellectuals throughout the twentieth century were defined in terms of their elite position and responsibility for the nation\, this role was profoundly challenged after the crackdown on the democracy movement of 1989. In its aftermath\, new groups of intellectuals emerged from grassroots society\, devoted to constituting alternative forms of knowledge outside the academy: amateur historians researching the Mao era\, amateur ethnographers using documentary films to investigate social issues\, grassroots lawyers working with disenfranchised groups to build rights-awareness\, and citizen bloggers and journalists challenging the state control of the public sphere. Although these groups have come under increasing pressure since 2012\, their ideas continue to inspire new dynamics in China’s society today. \nSebastian Veg is a Professor (directeur d’études) of intellectual history and literature of 20th century China at the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS)\, Paris and an Honorary Professor at the University of Hong Kong. He has written on Chinese intellectuals from May Fourth to the present\, the memory of the Mao era\, and the democracy movement in Hong Kong.
