SUMMARY:Victoria Chen - Coastal Formosan\, Nuclear Austronesian\, and beyond: How do Formosan languages Inform Theories of Austronesian Expansion?
DESCRIPTION:Topics:\n\n\nDigital China\, Digital China\n\n\n\n\nRegister now\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Indigenous languages of Taiwan feature two patterns of morphological discrepancy. First\, only some possess a symmetrical morphological paradigm associated with a phenomenon known as ‘noun-verb homophony’. Second\, only a handful of the languages allow the Proto-Austronesian stative affix ma- to be used in a transitive clause. This talk addresses how these two foci of variation inform our understanding of the Austronesian diaspora and further explains how new comparative data on these phenomena offers a simpler answer to two ongoing debates in the field. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Cancan Liao - The Interpretations of “Heaven”: Encounter\, Conflict and Accommodation between Chinese Literati and European Jesuits in late Ming China
DESCRIPTION:Digital China\, Digital China\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\nLate Ming and Early Qing was a period during which China underwent a transformation both on intellectual thoughts and society life\, influenced with Western natural science (more precisely\, natural philosophy) and Catholicism transmitted by European Jesuits. In the course of cultural exchange\, the interpretations of “heaven” were manifested in different intellectual levels\, including philosophy\, theology and astronomical calendar. \n\n\n\nThis talk focuses on Xu Guangqi and Fang Yizhi\, two representative figures of cultural exchange but with different attitudes towards western learning in late Ming China\, and presents how they confronted the conflict and competition in discourse between Neo-Confucianism and Western learning\, how both sides tried to find an accommodation. The presentation particularly introduces image-numerology in study on The Book of Change which became an important medium of integration between Confucianism and western natural philosophy\, and shows traditional Chinese science has its thought resources in philosophy. If this is the case\, beyond the usual perspectives of responding to the “Needham Problem” from history of science and intellectual history\, the philosophical perspective on this issue actually reflects the complexity of universality and diversity in science as well as in culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Chinese Religions Seminar featuring Vincent Goossaert - Social Networks of the Gods in Late Imperial Spirit-Writing Altars
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Vincent Goossaert\, Professor of Daoism and Chinese Religions\, École Pratique des Hautes Études \n\n\n\nChinese social life is saturated with interactions with entities other than living humans – ancestors\, suffering souls\, gods\, animal spirits… A wide repertoire of ritual techniques regulates these interactions; some of them\, aim at limiting those with dangerous entities\, but this talk is interested in those that instead aim at cultivating mutually beneficial relationships. By exploring both narrative and ritual sources from the modern era (16th-20th century)\, we will see that these ritual techniques promote a process of subjectivation in both humans and non-humans. It is as subjects that humans and their usually invisible interlocutors can form bonds and social networks. We will see\, through the case of spirit-writing cults\, how Social Network Analysis (SNA) extended to spirits allows us to think afresh the question of the status of non-humans in China and beyond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar featuring Yiqun Zhou - A Book for Hard Times: Wu Mi and Dream of the Red Chamber
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yiqun Zhou\, Stanford University \nThis talk examines the role that Dream of the Red Chamber played in the life and work of Wu Mi 吳宓 (1894-1978)\, a pioneer in the study of Comparative Literature in China and a cultural conservative known for his staunch resistance to the prevailing New Culture Movement. Long condemned to infamy and oblivion because his ideological positions were at odds with the mainstream\, Wu has seen a comeback in the past two or three decades.\nIn opposition to the interpretations in vogue in the 1910s-1920s\, which treated Dream either as the author’s autobiography or as a roman à clef about Qing politics\, Wu advocated an approach that was literary and comparative. From 1942 to 1949\, during the Sino-Japanese War and the subsequent civil war\, Wu’s public lectures on Dream drew large crowds and became local sensations. In the remaining years of Wu’s life\, especially during the Cultural Revolution\, he constantly turned to Dream for emotional support and spiritual consolation. By looking at how reading\, studying\, and lecturing on Dream were bound up with the quests\, trials\, and tribulations in Wu’s Quixotic career\, this talk tackles questions about the relationship between literature and politics\, the relevance of classics in modern times and to the general public\, and the use of comparison in the study of traditional Chinese literature.\n \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEuduyprj8rGdNrb_9TYuSjN09QXjAQ-laK

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Iza Ding - The Performative State: Public Scrutiny and Environmental Governance in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Iza (Yue) Ding\, Assistant Professor of Political Science\, University of Pittsburgh\nModerator: Michael Szonyi\, Frank Wen-Hsiung Wu Memorial Professor of Chinese History and Director\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University \nWhat does the state do when public expectations exceed its governing capacity? The Performative State shows how the state can shape public perceptions and defuse crises through the theatrical deployment of language\, symbols\, and gestures of good governance—performative governance. Iza Ding unpacks the black box of street-level bureaucracy in China through ethnographic participation\, in-depth interviews\, and public opinion surveys. She demonstrates with vivid detail how China’s environmental bureaucrats deal with intense public scrutiny over pollution when they lack the authority to actually improve the physical environment. Bureaucrats assuage public outrage by appearing responsive and benevolent before citizens. But performative governance is hard work. Environmental bureaucrats paradoxically work themselves to exhaustion even when they cannot effectively implement environmental policies. Instead of achieving “performance legitimacy” through actual good governance and its desirable outcomes\, the state can shape public opinion with theatrical performance of goodwill and sincere effort. The book also explains why performative governance sometimes fails at impressing its audience\, and when governance becomes less performative and more substantive.   \nIza Ding is an assistant professor of political science and public policy at the University of Pittsburgh. Her research examines two interconnected issues that are becoming more challenging and consequential than ever: environmental and climate politics and policy\, and the politics of autocracy and democracy. Her articles have appeared in World Politics\, Comparative Political Studies\, Democratization\, Studies in Comparative and International Development\, and China Quarterly. Her book The Performative State: Public Scrutiny and Environmental Governance in China is forthcoming with Cornell University Press in summer 2022.  \nPresented via Zoom webinar\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1knAizOSR-ih45-cmS5-rQ \nAlso streaming on YouTube
