SUMMARY:Film Screenings - The Face of Time: Recent Films by Tsai Ming-Liang
DESCRIPTION:Rare and valuable is the filmmaker who expands one’s conception of the cinematic art; rarer still is the filmmaker who enlarges one’s notion of the term “director.” Malaysian-born\, Taiwan-based auteur Tsai Ming-liang (b. 1957) accomplished the former with his rigorous\, uncompromising and reputation-defining features of the nineties and early 2000s\, and ever since his self-declared retirement from narrative filmmaking after 2013’s Stray Dogs\, he has been anything but inactive while exploring the endless permutations of what it means to be an image maker in the 21st century. Among the many formally adventurous international filmmakers who have struck out for greener pastures in the past decade upon finding the commercial prospects of arthouse cinema distribution increasingly deficient\, Tsai has dabbled in the gallery space\, the black box theater\, virtual reality and the independently run exhibition space as venues to both showcase his uncategorizable work and influence how he produces it. Along the way\, he has transformed his very approach to capturing filmic material\, and where once a pithy precis for his films existed—Antonioni-esque studies of alienated Taiwanese youth\, for instance—there is no longer such a firm summary for exactly what a Tsai Ming-liang project looks like or how it operates.Tsai Ming-Liang and his collaborators will appear in person at film screenings on October 10 and 14.For more information on this series\, including a complete listing of showtimes and information on purchasing tickets\, visit https://harvardfilmarchive.org/programs/the-face-of-time-recent-films-by-tsai-ming-liang.  \n\n\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Harvard Film Archive and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Jae-Jung Suh - Diatribes and Dialogues over the Past: “History Problems” and Regional Orders in Northeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jae-Jung Suh\, Professor\, Department of Politics and International Studies\, International Christian University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23 \n\n\n\nChair/Discussant: Paul Y. Chang\, Associate Professor of Sociology\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I propose to re-analyze the history of the historical contentions in Northeast Asia as that of the regional actors’ attempts to manage their differences over national identities and their relationships in the context of the region’s shifting power balance. On the one hand\, the states and civil society actors in the region have been held together by a shared past salient and meaningful to all of them\, jointly creating a common transnational discursive sphere among themselves—a regional order. On the other hand\, they have been molding and remolding that regional order in different shapes by endowing their common past with sometimes convergent\, and sometimes contradictory\, meanings. I postulate that the regional actors’ perception of others’ legitimacy and their framework of meaning may be combined in four possible ways to shape the nature of the region’s order—nationalist spheres\, parallel national spheres\, contentious regional sphere\, and regional public sphere—and that Northeast Asia’s regional order has since the end of the Asia Pacific War evolved from parallel national spheres to a regional public sphere to a contentious regional sphere. \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/diatribes-and-dialogues-over-the-past-history-problems-and-regional-orders-in-northeast-asia/ \n\n\n\nIn-person talk – Seating is limited.

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Yanzhong Huang -  Is Zero Covid Crippling Xi Jinping’s Domestic Agenda?
DESCRIPTION:Register now for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead our blog post on the event: Is ‘Zero-COVID’ Crippling Xi Jinping’s Domestic Agenda? Five Unintended Consequences \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yanzhong Huang\, Professor and Director\, Center for Global Health Studies\, Seton Hall University \n\n\n\nChina’s zero-Covid policy\, while shielding the country from Covid-19 and facilitating state control over society\, also has compounded\, even undermined its ability to cope with other domestic challenges by generating unintended\, and often undesirable outcomes in Chinese society.  The downstream impacts or unintended consequences include but are not limited to: 1) economic slowdown and rising youth unemployment rate; 2) the reduced desires of young couples to form families and reproduce; 3) increased mental health issues; 4) ) growing non-communicable disease burden; and 5) setback for the healthcare reform. In the meantime\, singled-minded pursuit of zero-Covid has stretched thin bureaucratic and fiscal capacity\, highlighting and exacerbating the inadequacy of the state capacity in addressing the growing domestic challenges.    \n\n\n\nIs ‘Zero-COVID’ Crippling Xi Jinping’s Domestic Agenda? Five Unintended Consequences Event summary by Austin Jordan\n\n\n\n“Is Zero Covid Crippling Xi Jinping’s Domestic Agenda?” poster\n\n\n\nDr. Yanzhong Huang joined the School of Diplomacy and International Relations in the fall of 2003.

In 2006\, he coauthored the first scholarly article that systematically examines China’s soft power. His book\, Governing Health in Contemporary China\, looks at the health care reform\, government ability to address disease outbreaks\, and food and drug safety in China. Most recently\, he was listed by Inside Jersey magazine as one of New Jersey’s “20 exceptional intellects who are changing the world.” He is frequently consulted by major media outlets\, the private sector\, and governmental and non-governmental organizations on global health issues and China.

SUMMARY:Ya-wen Lei - The Gilded Cage: Techno-State Capitalism in China 
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ya-wen Lei\, Associate Professor\, Department of Sociology\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nUsing Daniel Bell’s work as a springboard\, I analyze the emergent post-industrial society in China\, focusing on China’s techno-development from the mid-2000s to the present day. Noting the extraordinary transformation of China’s economy and society during this time\, some scholars have compared China’s post-reform period to the Gilded Age in the United States. By contrast\, I seek to highlight the darker implications of these changes\, what I refer to collectively as China’s “gilded cage.” I use this term to capture not so much a literal space as the dynamic processes and relations set in motion by the Chinese state’s effort to move from an economy relying on labor-intensive\, export-oriented manufacturing to what I call “techno-state capitalism”—a system characterized by the unprecedented rise of tech capital and an asymmetrically symbiotic relationship between tech capital and the state. The drive towards techno-state capitalism has included: (1) the proliferation of technological and legal instruments established by the state and large tech companies to regulate work and life\, and enhance legibility\, valuation\, efficiency\, and behavior modification; (2) the legal\, economic\, and cultural subordination of work\, workers\, and forms of capital deemed “obsolete” or “low-end” to those valorized as “high-tech” or “high-end\,” despite China’s official socialist ideology; and (3) the intensified subjection of both “low-end” and “high-end” workers and capital to the precarious and despotic rule by instruments. In this talk\, I will explain how this sweeping\, lopsided\, and unchecked rule by instruments came to be\, and discuss the contradictions between the state and different kinds of capital and labor that have followed in its wake. \n\n\n\nYa-Wen Lei is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Harvard University. She is also affiliated with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies and the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard. Trained in both law and sociology\, she holds a J.S.D. from Yale Law School and a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Michigan. After graduating from University of Michigan in 2013\, She was a Junior Fellow at the Society of Fellows at Harvard University (2013-2016). She is the author of The Contentious Public Sphere: Law\, Media\, and Authoritarian Rule in China (Princeton University Press\, 2018). Her second book\, The Gilded Cage: Techno-State Capitalism in China\, is forthcoming with Princeton University Press in Fall 2023. Her work has appeared in American Sociological Review and American Journal of Sociology\, among other peer-reviewed journals. Her publications have received various awards from the American Sociological Association\, the Law and Society Association\, and The China Quarterly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion - Afternoon (Na ri xia wu)
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Tsai Ming-liang.Taiwan\, 2015\, DCP\, color\, 137 min.Mandarin with English subtitles. \n\n\n\nIn-person discussion with the director follows the film screening. \n\n\n\nAs if created to refute the notion that artists are notoriously aloof about discussing their own work\, Afternoon ostensibly grants Tsai’s devoted audience an all-access peek behind the curtain of his decades-long artistic partnership with his muse Lee Kang-sheng. Filmed in one two-hour-long wide shot broken up by periodic cuts to black in the half-furnished mountain home purchased by Tsai and Lee\, this rigorous documentary presents a wide-ranging heart-to-heart between two artistic soulmates whose very dispositions—in both their cinematic collaborations and public appearances—skew toward the introverted and nonverbal. The results are surprisingly light and meandering\, with Tsai playing the gregarious\, vulnerable inquisitor and Lee the deadpan object of fascination\, his sparsely deployed remarks often tinged with good-natured teasing. No topic is out of bounds\, as they discuss their films\, their career ambitions (or lack thereof)\, their travels\, their peculiar relationship that is neither fully platonic nor romantic\, their anxieties and their sense of morality. What elevates it beyond a niche DVD supplement and into something consistent with Tsai’s worldview is the extreme patience it exhibits in the observation of human behavior. The content of what is said is only part of the appeal. Arguably more fascinating is the process by which these feelings are gradually\, circuitously articulated\, an alchemy we are invited to witness in hypnotic real time.For more information and tickets: https://harvardfilmarchive.org/calendar/afternoon-2022-10 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture featuring Philip Thai -  Communist China’s Capitalist Front: The China Resources Company in Cold War Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:REgister for Hybrid Zoom Attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Philip Thai\, Northeastern University \n\n\n\nThe China Resources Company is a Hong Kong-based\, Chinese state-owned conglomerate with diverse businesses interests in real estate\, retail\, pharmaceuticals\, energy\, and other industries. Today\, it is one of the largest corporations in the world and currently ranked no. 70 on the Fortune Global 500. During the Cold War\, China Resources operated as a front company advancing the economic and geopolitical interests of the People’s Republic. Most importantly\, it served as the primary commercial intermediary between China and Hong Kong\, supplying the British colony with food\, petroleum\, and other essential supplies for decades before and after “Reform and Opening.” This talk will trace the development of the company and explore its role in circumventing international embargoes\, promoting foreign trade\, and operating in Hong Kong. It will consider how the history of China Resources could address critical questions in the history of Hong Kong and the Cold War more generally. \n\n\n\nPhilip Thai is Associate Professor of History and Asian Studies at Northeastern University. A historian of Modern China and East Asia\, he has research and teaching interests that include legal history\, economic history\, and diplomatic history. He is the author of China’s War on Smuggling: Law\, Economic Life\, and the Making of the Modern State and the forthcoming Diplomatic History journal article\, “Hong Kong in the U.S.-UK War on Drugs\, 1970–1980”. During the 2022-23 academic year\, Professor Thai will be in residence at Harvard Radcliffe Institute as an American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Frederick Burkhardt Fellow working on his new project\, a history of underground economies across “Greater China” during the Cold War. \n\n\n\nThis event is also available on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Zhang Changdong - Taxation and State Building Contradiction: Grassroots State Reconfiguration under Tax State Transition in Rural China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zhang Changdong\, Peking University; HYI Visiting Scholar 2022-23Chair/discussant: Elizabeth J. Perry\, Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government at Harvard University; Director of the Harvard-Yenching Institute. \n\n\n\nTaxation is regarded as an important dynamic in state building\, and plays a crucial role in driving the process of bureaucratization. However\, this process could be contradictory under certain circumstances. Through an in-depth examination of taxation and state building in rural China\, we find that the state strategically uses different institutional building strategies in different periods to penetrate the rural society for different purposes. We develop a two by two matrix by combining concentration and centralization\, as a typology of micro institutional building strategies\, to describe the evolution of institutional strategies and cadre’s roles. Specifically\, we find that after the market transition in 1980s and 1990s\, the tax state transition\, especially the abolition of agricultural taxes in early 2000s\, marks a transition from penetration for extraction to non-penetration with non-extraction. Using unique datasets which combines individual\, village and county/province level data\, we focus on the dynamic on the role of village cadres which reflects the evolution of institutional strategies. We test the hypotheses of village cadres’ income (dis)advantage before and after abolition of agriculture taxes which depended on village or upper-level government fiscal conditions\, respectively. We find that before the tax state transition village cadres as tax farmers had income advantages over ordinary peasants regardless the village and county fiscal conditions. But after the transition they turned to semi-bureaucrats and lost their income advantage in most regions all over China. They only held advantages in those fiscally-rich regions. This research indicates that the state building in rural China is associated with the ending of taxation power rather than a development of taxation capacity which led to state involution. This study contributes to taxation and state building literature by revealing this contradiction\, and complement to the market transition debate by bringing taxation back in. \n\n\n\nIn-person talk – Seating is limited. Masks are required for all audience members. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Film Screening and In-Person Director Discussion - Days (Rizi)
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Tsai Ming-liang.With Lee Kang-sheng\, Anong Houngheuangsy.Taiwan/France\, 2020\, DCP\, color\, 127 min.Mandarin with English subtitles. \n\n\n\nIn-person discussion with the director follows the film screening.Featuring remarks by Jie Li\, John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Humanities\, Harvard University. \n\n\n\nEver since Tsai prematurely announced his retirement from filmmaking following the release of Stray Dogs\, his output has had a diminishing relationship to narrative\, and Days provides only the slimmest shell of one. Instead\, the director submits to the lengthy observation of two men at different points in their lives: Kang (Lee Kang-sheng) and Non (Anong Houngheuangsy)\, emblems of solitude in late middle age and young adulthood\, respectively. Kang passes his time with silent meditations on nature and experimental acupuncture sessions for his ailing neck (a nod to Lee’s actual decades-long condition)\, while Non lives a solitary urban existence in a cramped apartment. Their day-to-day rituals provide more than enough raw material for Tsai’s ever-patient camera\, which captures slow nighttime walks and ritualized meal preparation with the same rapt attention and Zen-like indifference to conventional action. In the lone concession to narrative expectation\, Kang and Non eventually meet in a prolonged scene of cathartic physical intimacy\, but Tsai’s delicate touch leaves the film in a state of poignant anticlimax\, raising unsentimental questions about what constitutes fulfilling human connection.More information and tickets: https://harvardfilmarchive.org/programs/the-face-of-time-recent-films-by-tsai-ming-liang \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Urban China Series featuring Toby Lincoln -  Out of the Rubble of World War II: Reconstruction in China in Comparative Perspective
DESCRIPTION:zoom meeting link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Toby Lincoln\, Associate Professor of Chinese Urban History\, Centre for Urban History\, University of Leicester.This paper explores urban reconstruction in China after WWII\, and argues that this was more successful than is normally thought\, especially when compared with other countries similarly devastated by war. With a particular focus on Changsha\, which probably suffered more destruction than any other city in China\, it highlights how reconstruction in the late 1940s laid the foundation for the Chinese Communist Party to consolidate its power after 1949. \n\n\n\nStudying postwar reconstruction frees modern Chinese history from the teleology of the Communist Revolution and the grand narrative of the Cold War. This opens the door to comparisons with Europe and other parts of the world\, where reconstruction has long taken centre stage. It continues the historical re-evaluation of the Nationalist regime\, casts the early years of Maoist China in a new light\, and opens up new lines of historical enquiry into the social and cultural legacies of war. Finally\, it is my contention that exploring how cities have faced disasters in the past has the potential to provide innovative solutions to contemporary issues. \n\n\n\nToby Lincoln is Associate Professor of Chinese Urban History at the Centre for Urban History\, University of Leicester. He is the author of several articles and two books\, the most recent of which is a summary of the history of Chinese cities entitled: An Urban History of China (Cambridge\, 2021). His current research\, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council\, explores how Chinese cities were reconstructed after WWII. Aside from this\, he is also interested in questions of urban sustainability in the past and the present. \n\n\n\nZoom Meeting Link: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96217779608 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Annabelle Pitkin - Renunciation and the Practice of Care: Himalayan Buddhist Embodiments of Longing and Devotion
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Annabella Pitkin\, Assistant Professor of Buddhism and East Asian Religions\, Lehigh UniversityDevotion plays a central role in Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhist accounts of guru-disciple relationship\, part of an ideal of indivisible connection between gurus and disciples. This theme of devotional connection intersects in complex ways with another influential Buddhist ideal\, that of renunciation. Tibetan narratives of renunciation often highlight dynamics of separation\, departure\, and absence\, dynamics that can appear in tension with the devotional ideal. Yet separation from the guru can also affectively energize practices of guru-devotion through generating longing\, in ways that Tibetan and Himalayan commentators assert as soteriologically indispensable. This talk focuses on episodes from stories about the life of the twentieth century Himalayan Buddhist renunciant Khunu Lama Tenzin Gyaltsen (1895-1977) that highlight both his own intensive practices of renunciation\, and the impact of his renunciation on his close disciples\, both women and men. I consider ways in which Khunu Lama’s disciples attempted to practice forms of devotional care for him\, while grappling with the separations his practice of renunciation required within their relationships. Annabella Pitkin is Assistant Professor of Buddhism and East Asian Religions at Lehigh University. Her research focuses on Tibetan Buddhist modernity\, Buddhist ideals of renunciation\, miracle narratives\, and Buddhist biographies. She received her B.A. from Harvard and Ph.D. in Religion from Columbia\, and has lived and traveled extensively in the Himalayan region\, China\, India\, and Nepal. She is the author of Renunciation and Longing: The Life of a 20th Century Himalayan Buddhist Saint (Chicago). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:CAMLab Cave Opening Celebration
DESCRIPTION:CAMLab Cave opens following two years of renovation. It serves as a hub of innovative forms of knowledge production\, pedagogy\, and sensorial media practice. The Opening Celebration features projects that will materialize as immersive installations this fall.  \n\n\n\nBased upon multi-year interdisciplinary research on the Buddhist culture of dance in Dunhuang\, Cave Dancerecovers and animates dance forms preserved in medieval Buddhist cave shrines by harnessing technologies such as machine learning\, motion capture\, and computer-generated images. Cave Dance manifests as a set of installations that lead audiences into the cultural dimension of Buddhist dance—inviting audiences to contemplate themes of body\, life\, and spiritual transcendence.  \n\n\n\nAlso installed as an immersive film\, Embodied Architecture transports viewers to Liao dynasty Buddhist pagodas\, each fully reconstructed in VR. The Opening Celebration will highlight other ongoing projects\, ranging from the cultural heritage preservation of Digital Gandhara to a forthcoming book and art film on the modern ink painter Liu Kuo-sung. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar featuring Kaijun Chen - Materiality is Uncertainty: Furniture\, Hairpins and Fireworks in Jin Ping Mei
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Kaijun Chen\, Assistant Professor\, Department of East Asian Studies\, Brown University \n\n\n\nThis project responds to a candid question I had while reading Jin Ping Mei. The novel is packed with luxurious things\, but why do the characters show little attachment to them? This lack of attachment refers to both the alienable qualities of material possessions and the lack of any emotional investment in the novel’s abundance of things. This tendency stands in contrast to the metaphorized artifacts wrapped in layers of poetic references that we often encounter in odes on things and novels such as The Story of Stone\, where material things bear intense lyrical expression and carry moral symbolism. \n\n\n\nI will analyze three categories of things represented in text and in illustration to uncover a pervasive sense of uncertainty manifested by things in the novel. Furniture\, especially beds\, showcase shifting claims of ownership and volatile prices. Gold and silver accessories\, particularly hairpins\, as (false) proof of amorous commitment\, exhibit inconstant material forms and truth values. Fireworks\, in their short-lived performances\, simultaneously anchor and distract attention\, and redefine luxurious things as ephemeral happenings. \n\n\n\nKaijun Chen is Assistant Professor of late imperial Chinese literature and material culture at the Department of East Asian studies at Brown University. His research focuses on the manufacture of ceramics at court and the circulation of handicraft knowledge from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. He has published articles on craft and literature and the trade of luxury goods in Arts of Asia\, Chinese Literature: Essays\, Articles\, and Reviews\, and National Palace Bi-monthly\, etc. His book Porcelain for the Emperor: Manufacture and Technocracy in Qing China (January 2023) examines the Qing court’s institutionalization of technical expertise in the context of its cultural industry during the eighteenth century. Before joining Brown\, he worked at the Max-Planck-Institute for the History of Science in Berlin and the Frick Collection. \n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid event\, which may be attended in person or via Zoom. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

DESCRIPTION:Zoom meeting link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yi Li\, Associate Professor\, School of Public Administration/National Research Center for Resettlement (NRCR)\, Hohai University \n\n\n\nThe past decade has witnessed a variety of city-regional projects across the world\, such as the formulation of city-regional plans\, the establishment of inter-regional organizations\, and the construction of region-wide infrastructure. For some\, city-regions are seen as a geopolitical project orchestrated from above by the national state in the global age of late capitalism. For others\, city-regions are best approached from below\, under the logic of territorial alliances or growth coalitions. However\, geopolitical motivations and regional coalitions cannot alone fully explain the actual mechanism of city-regionalism in the Chinese context. Drawing on the governance framework of state entrepreneurialism\, this paper distinguishes between the processes of the centrally orchestrated regional imaginary and local implementation through regional cooperation in the making of Chinese city-regions. It traces the latest round of regional integration in the Yangtze River Delta through three different practices: ascendant collaborative technological parks under inter-city partnerships\, connecting regional infrastructure under regional associations\, and the creation of a regional collaboration demonstration zone. Through these case studies\, this paper aims to understand the processes of city-region building as well as its inherent contradictions in the Chinese context. \n\n\n\nYi Li is an associate professor at the School of Public Administration/National Research Center for Resettlement (NRCR) of Hohai University\, Nanjing\, China. Yi’s research interests lie in the formation and governance of city-regions. Her work has covered the three dominant mega city-regions in China\, including the Yangtze River Delta\, Pearl River Delta\, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. She approaches different aspects of Chinese regional governance from planning\, cooperation towards provision of infrastructures and housing. \n\n\n\nZoom link: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96217779608 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Kenneth Rogoff in conversation with Yuanchen Yang and David Yang - China’s Housing Conundrum
DESCRIPTION:Read the Transcript Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Kenneth Rogoff\, Maurits C. Boas Chair of International Economics\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nIn Conversation With:Yuanchen Yang\, Economist in the Macro-Policy Division of the Strategy\, Policy\, and Review Department\, International Monetary Fund\, andDavid Yang\, Assistant Professor of Economics\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nKenneth Rogoff is Maurits C. Boas Chair of International Economics at Harvard University. From 2001–2003\, Rogoff served as Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund. His widely-cited 2009 book with Carmen Reinhart\, This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly\, shows the remarkable quantitative similarities across time and countries in the run-up and the aftermath of severe financial crises. Rogoff is also known for his seminal work on exchange rates and on central bank independence. Together with Maurice Obstfeld\, he is co-author of Foundations of International Macroeconomics\, a treatise that has also become a widely-used graduate text in the field worldwide. Rogoff’s 2016 book The Curse of Cash looks at the past\, present and future of currency from standardized coinage to crypto-currencies. The book argues that although much of modern macroeconomics abstracts from the nature of currency\, it is in fact lies at the heart of some of the most fundamental problems in monetary policy and public finance. His monthly syndicated column on global economic issues is published in over 50 countries. \n\n\n\nThis event also available on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Ching Kwan Lee - Hong Kong: Global China’s Restive Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Ching Kwan Lee\, Professor of Sociology\, University of California\, Los Angeles \n\n\n\nWas Hong Kong 2019 a “Revolution of Our Times”? \n\n\n\nWhat was “revolutionary” about the anti-extradition movement? Turning its aspirational and stirring slogan into an empirical question\, this talk assesses the breakthroughs and limits of the historic uprising\, against an entrenched colonial hegemony co-produced by British and Chinese rules. Specifically\, we shall review four salient elements of this hegemony that have long defined the boundaries of the “political” in Hong Kong – rule of law\, capitalist /market rationality\, prosperity and stability\, and inevitability of China. To what extent\, how and why had protesters and citizens shattered these colonial boundaries through collective praxis and deliberations? As a critical moment in the long struggle for decolonization\, what were the lessons of 2019? \n\n\n\nChing Kwan Lee is a professor of sociology at UCLA. She is the author of three award-winning monographs on contemporary China’s turn to capitalism: Gender and the South China Miracle: Two Worlds of Factory Women (1998)\, Against the Law: Labor Protests in China’s Rustbelt and Sunbelt  (2007)\, and The Specter of Global China: Politics\, Labor and Foreign Investment in Africa (2017). She is the founding chair of the Society for Hong Kong Studies\, and her latest book on Hong Kong is Hong Kong: Global China’s Restive Frontier (2022). \n\n\n\nPlease email jviator@fas.harvard.edu for the Zoom link.
