SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture Series Featuring Eugenia Lean - The Ideograph and a Cantonese Pun: Linguistic Divergence and Spurious Chinese Marks in Global Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Eugenia Lean\, Professor of History and East Asian Languages and Cultures; Director\, Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, Columbia University \nBy examining two early legal cases featuring the alleged counterfeiting of Xiangmao Honey Soap\, this talk shows how the Chinese language and linguistic practices in Chinese commercial culture often stymied Western manufacturers and import companies’ attempts to pursue and prosecute suspected Chinese copycats. Xiangmao soap was featured in the first ever trademark litigation trial in China held in 1889. In that trial\, it became evident that the emerging global trademark regime was premised on an Orientalist understanding of the Chinese character as ideograph. A second case in 1919 that also featured the alleged counterfeiting of the Xiangmao brand then reveals how the homophonic nature of Chinese and the issue of dialect were often the basis of wordplay and punning in Chinese trademarks\, and that international trademark law was unable to accommodate these practices. The key legal premise that an offending trademark rested on its function to deceive the public prevented the system from recognizing (and thus\, successfully prosecuting) marks that while likely to have been emulative\, turned precisely on a knowing audience\, willing to purchase the “counterfeit” because of the witty pun or wordplay at work. Both bring to the fore how the emerging trademark regime was premised on romance languages and failed to appreciate the complexity of both the Chinese language and the nature of the Chinese consumer market. Hardly marks that purposefully deceived in acts of “passing off\,” so-called “spurious” marks aided (and arguably abetted) knowledgeable and appreciative consumers in their wily acts of consumption and were part of a larger market of rogue knock-offs in China that eluded the emerging trademark regime in the early twentieth-century and that continue to elude the global IP today. \nEugenia Lean received her BA from Stanford University (1990)\, and her MA (1996) and PhD (2001) from UCLA. She is interested in a broad range of topics in late imperial and modern Chinese history with a particular focus on the history of science and industry\, mass media\, consumer culture\, affect studies and gender\, as well as law and urban society. She is also interested in issues of historiography and critical theory in the study of East Asia. She is the author of Public Passions: the Trial of Shi Jianqiao and the Rise of Popular Sympathy in Republican China (UC Press\, 2007) which was awarded the 2007 John K. Fairbank prize for the best book in modern East Asian history\, given by the American Historical Association. \nProfessor Lean’s second book\, Vernacular Industrialism in China: Local Innovation and Translated Technologies in theMaking of a Cosmetics Empire\, 1900-1940 (Columbia University Press\, 2020)\, examines the manufacturing\, commercial and cultural activities of maverick industrialist Chen Diexian (1879-1940). It illustrates how lettered men of early twentieth century China engaged in “vernacular industrialism\,” the pursuit of industry and science outside of conventional venues that drew on the process of experimentation with both local and global practices of manufacturing and was marked by heterogeneous\, often ad hoc forms of knowledge and material work. \nPresented via Zoom \nAlso streaming on YouTube \n\n\nTranscript: Download Transcript

SUMMARY:Environment in Asia Series Featuring Ying Jia Tan - War and the Reconfiguration of China’s Energy Geography
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ying Jia Tan\, Assistant Professor of History and East Asian Studies\, Wesleyan University \nIn Recharging China in War and Revolution\, 1882–1955 (Cornell University Press\, 2021)\, Ying Jia Tan argues that\, even in times of peace\, the Chinese economy operated as though still at war\, constructing power systems that met immediate demands but sacrificed efficiency and longevity. This talk explores the effects of China’s catastrophic loss of 97 percent of its power generating capacity during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It looks at how wartime mobilization accelerated China’s transition towards coal as the main fuel source for power generation\, led to the creation of a homegrown electrical equipment manufacturing industry\, and inspired a vision of national reconstruction driven by massive hydropower projects. Lessons from the electrification of wartime China reveals the strengths and limitations of state-driven initiatives aimed at alleviating power shortages\, which in turn\, offer insights into the common challenges facing China and Taiwan as they transition from fossil fuels to renewables. \nYing Jia Tan is assistant professor of history and East Asian Studies at Wesleyan University. is a historian of science and technology with allied interests in environmental history and the history of cartography. He teaches traditional and modern Chinese history\, as well as courses on maritime East Asia\, cartography\, and the Anthropocene. \nPresented via Zoom WebinarRegistration RequiredRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jRhu4N8RSqGioDgdMqvjOw \nNote: this live lecture will not be simulcast on our YouTube channel nor available for viewing at a later date.

SUMMARY:Modern Chinese Humanities Seminar Featuring Michel Hockx — The Shifting Limits of Reform: Literature and Censorship in China since 1979
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Michel Hockx\, Professor of Chinese Literature\, University of Notre Dame \nOn July 30\, 1979\, Deng Xiaoping addressed the fourth national conference of Chinese writers and artists. Towards the end of his speech he stated\, to collective sighs of relief\, that “the Party’s leadership of literature and the arts does not mean issuing orders\, nor requiring writers and artists to make themselves subservient to […] political tasks.” In doing so\, he redefined the relationship between CCP ideologues and creative producers\, which had become increasingly politicized during the first thirty years of Communist rule. He also set the template for later “important speeches” on art and literature by Party leaders\, which have been a core component of Chinese cultural policy ever since. Looking at leaders’ speeches as a genre of cultural production\, I show how each leader after Deng tried to confirm the post-1979 consensus that promised more freedom to cultural producers\, while at the same time indicating where the limits to that freedom might lie. The talk will engage with these speeches against three discrete backgrounds: the ongoing dismantlement of what was once the “socialist literary system\,” the claims made about Chinese censorship and “self-censorship” in American and European public opinion\, and the theoretical debates about structural censorship in the field of New Censorship Studies. \nMichel Hockx is professor of Chinese Literature in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and director of the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies at the University of Notre Dame. He has published widely\, both in English and in Chinese\, on topics related to modern Chinese literary culture\, especially early 20th-century Chinese magazine literature and print culture and contemporary Internet literature. His monograph Internet Literature in China was listed by Choice magazine as one of the “Top 25 Outstanding Academic Titles of 2015.” His current book project focuses on literary and cultural censorship in modern China from the early twentieth century to the present. Hockx studied Chinese language and literature at Leiden University in the Netherlands\, where he earned his Ph.D.\, and at Liaoning and Peking universities in China. From 1996-2016 he taught at SOAS\, University of London. In addition to his scholarly work he has also been active as a translator of modern Chinese literature into his native Dutch. \nPresented via Zoom Webinar \nAlso streaming on YouTube \n\n\nTranscript: Download Transcript

SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar Featuring Suyoung Son - Publisher at Work: Yu Xiangdou’s Images and Visualizing Intellectual Labor
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Suyoung Son\, Associate Professor\, Cornell University \nHow could intangible\, tacit intellectual labor be legible\, acknowledged\, and compensated? The relationship between authorship and authorial property was hotly debated in late imperial China when a flurry of fakes\, forgeries\, and counterfeits abounded in the commercial book market. My talk will use examples from Yu Xiangdou (ca. 1560-1637)\, one of the most successful commercial publishers in Jianyang\, to discuss how he claimed the hitherto invisible and therefore uncredited intellectual endeavor of making the books. Away from the prevailing conception that the images inserted in his printed books are portraits of Yu Xiangdou himself\, I will approach his images in terms of the highly conventionalized image-signs and argue that his images serve as a liminal link between incorporeal authorship and material proprietorship. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYpcOyuqTItH9XHfGGHtpzj0f6bGEsaGjG0

SUMMARY:Chih-ming Wang - Re-Articulations: Foreign Literature Studies in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Chih-ming Wang\, Associate Research Fellow\, Institute of European and American Studies\, Academia Sinica; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2021-22\nChair/discussant: David Wang\, Edward C. Henderson Professor of Chinese Literature\, Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \nThis talk revisits the institutional and intellectual history of foreign literature studies in Taiwan through the lenses of colonial modernity and traveling theory. It contends that the discipline of foreign literature studies is fundamentally a project of re-articulation—not only to introduce the Western canon in local contexts\, but moreover to resignify it in the global/local nexus for social political transformations. It is particularly wedded to the formation of the Taiwan-China division born out of the civil war and Cold War contexts in 1949. To explain the political meanings of its discipline formations\, I will focus on two examples: CT Hsia’s literary modernism as a form of anti-Romanticism in the Cold War era and the translation of subjectivity as zhutixing in the post-martial law Taiwan. Whereas Hsia in the 1950s intended literary criticism to be a means for political rectification in modern China\, the translingual birth of zhutixing in the 1990s literalized the power of theory in the making of postcolonial Taiwan. \nA Harvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEucOCpqTwiEtX3ewPRvf8kfFeqWZvmZKl7 \nMore information: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/rearticulations-foreign-literature-studies-in-taiwan/

SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture Series Featuring Joan Judge - China’s Mundane Revolution:  Vernacularizing Science and Scientizing the Vernacular in the Long Republic\, 1894-1955
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Joan Judge\, Professor\, Department of History\, York University \nWhat can we learn from intellectual detritus? Focusing on cheap print\, vernacular daily-use knowledge\, and common readers in the Long Republic (1895-1955)\, this talk argues that the books an age discards as slipshod and unscientific\, and the readers it disparages as superstitious and ignorant\, comprise the broad epistemic terrain from which historical change is actualized. Premised on the notion that what we currently know about China’s iconic 20th-century revolutions does not explain enough\, it shifts our attention from innovation to ingenuity\, from “knowledge what” to “knowledge how\,” from the momentous to the mundane—without losing sight of the momentous. The talk first introduces a project on “China’s Mundane Revolution” that is based on some 500\, largely unstudied\, daily-use texts\, together with material gathered from the interstices of various archives. It then zeros in on one of the “how to” topics in the study: “how to treat a cholera infection.” Examining the ways individual common readers might have approached “the most spectacular ‘new’ disease of the nineteenth century\,” the example highlights the dynamic processes of scientizing vernacular and vernacularizing scientific forms of knowledge. It also raises questions about the ways these processes align—or misalign—with the various iterations of mass politics in this critical period. \nJoan Judge is a 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship\, member of the Royal Society of Canada and a Professor in the Department of History at York University in Toronto\, Canada.She is the author of Republican Lens: Gender\, Visuality\, and Experience in the Early Chinese Periodical Press (University of California Press\, 2015)\, The Precious Raft of History: The Past\, the West\, and the Woman Question in China (Stanford University Press\, 2008)\, Print and Politics: ‘Shibao’ and the Culture of Reform in Late Qing China (Stanford University Press\, 1996)\, and co-editor of Women Warriors and National Heroes: Global Histories (Bloomsbury Academic\, 2020)\, Women and the Periodical Press in China’s Global Twentieth Century: A Space of Their Own? (Cambridge University Press\, 2018)\, and Beyond Exemplar Tales: Women’s Biography in Chinese History (University of California Press\, 2011). She is currently engaged in an SSHRC-funded project\, China’s Mundane Revolution: Cheap Print\, Vernacular Knowledge\, and Common Reading in the Long Republic\, 1894–1955. \nPresented via Zoom \nAlso streaming on YouTube \n\n\nTranscript: Download Transcript
