SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar featuring Lu Kuo - The Temporary Recluse: The Discourse of Not Working in Early Medieval Chinese Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Lu Kou\, Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \n\n\n\nFor imperial officials\, “work” – fulfilling duties in the office\, traveling for business\, or managing lawsuits\, taxation\, or infrastructure – was a common subject matter for poetic treatment. Yet meanwhile\, they also wrote prolifically about “not working\,” which encompassed both permanent withdrawal from the officialdom and temporary release of duties. In their poetry on “not working\,” poet-officials often portrayed themselves as recluses\, men who claimed to evade social interactions and civil services in order to retain a sense of independence and personal integrity. Ironically\, while they tapped the discourse of reclusion to describe sabbaticals\, vacations\, or demotions – what I call “temporary recluse\,” this discourse also heightened the poet-officials’ awareness of themselves being working persons. It opened up a poetic space where they can negotiate with bureaucratic systems\, articulate their worth vis-à-vis the work\, investigate the meaning of leisure\, and fashion communities of like-minded working colleagues. \n\n\n\nWhile the culture of reclusion in early medieval China is well studied\, this talk focuses on the reclusive discourse as a discourse of not working that emerged\, developed\, and dispersed within a culture of work. By examining two cases\, one on Liu Xiaochuo’s (481–539) leave of absence (xiumu 休沐)\, and the other on Xie Tiao’s (464–499) poetics of local governance\, this talk studies how poet-officials manipulated the reclusive discourse as a rhetorical strategy to navigate imperial bureaucracy and reinscribe their worth and value. I show that the reclusive imaginary was embedded in a culture of service and that the reclusive discourse bridged “work” and “not work\,” rendering their boundaries porous and malleable. \n\n\n\nBiography \n\n\n\nLu Kou is Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. As a medievalist and a scholar of premodern Chinese literature\, Lu Kou’s research interests include medieval Chinese literature and culture\, poetry and poetics\, historiography\, and comparative studies of China’s Middle Period and medieval Europe. He is currently at work on two book projects: War of Words: Courtly Exchange\, Rhetoric\, and Political Cultures in Early Medieval China\, which examines the “discursive battles” fought among rival states in China’s early medieval period and investigates how rhetoric constructed and contested political legitimacy in this age of multipolarity; and (tentatively titled) Locked Seal\, Heart of Poetry: Bureaucracy and the Representation of Work in Medieval Chinese Poetry\, 400-900 CE\, which studies the dialectic between poetry and bureaucratic systems\, between lyricism and quotidian renderings of “work” in medieval poetry. Before joining the faculty at Columbia\, he was Assistant Professor of Chinese at Bard College (2019-2022) and Visiting Assistant Professor at Williams College (2018-2019). \n\n\n\nZoom Registration: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIsduCuqjooGNA1PQdAWwm0oDarNDg4eNYc \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Urban China Seminar Series featuring Tingting Lu - Collaborative Neighborhood Governance During the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Tingting Lu\, ​Shanghai Jiao Tong University \n\n\n\n​The COVID-19 pandemic is a governance challenge for nations and cities across the world. While early observations have primarily focused on nation-scale government actions\, our research shows that neighborhood social capital also plays a key role in Chinese neighborhoods. Drawing from collaborative governance theory\, we examine the horizontal and hierarchical dynamics of neighborhood governance collaboration during crisis responses in urban China. Using a large-scale questionnaire survey of frontline community workers conducted in six Chinese cities in February 2020\, we find that from the perspective of residents’ committees\, the effectiveness of collaborative governance in pandemic control is predicted by both neighborhood social capital (i.e. civic engagement and citizen participation) and hierarchical steering by the government through setting policy priorities and providing support. We also surveyed residents for their opinions on neighborhood collaborative governance post pandemic. Social capital presents opposite correlations to one’s collaboration with a residents’ committee and collaboration with a private management company.  \n\n\n\nTingting Lu is an Associate Professor at School of International and Public Affairs\, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Her research focuses on neighborhood governance and housing development in urban China. Recently she has also worked on gated communities\, social segregation\, and neighborhood attachment\, and has published in leading journals in urban studies and geography\, including Urban Studies\, Urban Geography\, and Geoforum.  \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96217779608 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

Goldstein\, Fairbank Center Associate \n\n\n\nThe opposition Kuomintang party achieved what some consider to be a “blue wave” in the November 26 elections for local government offices by winning a total of thirteen of the major offices while “flipping” three of those previously held by the Democratic Progressive Party.

SUMMARY:Trisha Tsui-Chuan Lin - Mitigating COVID Disinfodemic: Health Misinformation\, Digital Literacy and Vaccination in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Trisha Tsui-Chuan Lin\, Professor\, College of Communication\, National Chengchi University\, Taiwan; Harvard Yenching Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23; Fulbright Senior Researcher\, Harvard University\, 2022-23 \n\n\n\nChair/discussant: Winnie Yip\, Professor of the Practice of Global Health Policy and Economics\, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health \n\n\n\nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic\, social media algorithms has facilitated the viral spread of mis- and disinformation\, resulting in global public health crises. After raising Coronavirus epidemic warning in mid-2021\, Taiwan has faced increasing health misinformation risks and challenges of mitigation. The goal of the mixed-method research is two-fold: to examine characteristics of Taiwan’s health misinformation after COVID-19 Level 3 Alert\, and to investigate the complex relationship among social media users’ (dis)information efficacy\, health literacy and their impacts on vaccination. First\, I systematically analyzed viral health misinformation messages verified by fact-check organizations over the past 1.5 years. Content analysis shows that prevalent types of Coronavirus falsehoods are related to vaccine effectiveness\, false cures and preventative measures\, and government’s epidemic prevention. Their most salient motives include fear mongering and conspiracies\, especially on political smear. Next\, my survey of Taiwanese social media users finds that COVID-19 health literacy significantly increases individual adoption of preventive measures and vaccination. Social media information efficacy is the key to improve critical posts of COVID-19 information\, which positively affects health literacy and its components (i.e.\, accessing\, understanding\, appraising\, and applying health information). Nonetheless\, social media disinformation efficacy moderately influences how people understand and apply health literacy. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \n\n\n\nSeating is limited. Masks are required for all audience members. \n\n\n\nAlso available on Zoom. Register at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jiV82_fKQtafSgLHhmYnyg \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
