SUMMARY:Urban China Series featuring Tang Beibei - The Making of “New Citizens:” Landless Farmers and Urban Governance in China
DESCRIPTION:Zoom meeting link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Tang Beibei\, Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University \n\n\n\nThis talk examines landless farmers who have entered Chinese urban life as urban residents in an organized and managed way as cities expand and spread. It explores in what ways and to what extent the central government’s initiatives on the integration of landless farmers into the urban economy and urban society have been carried out at local levels and how the local state has responded to the emergence of landless farmers in the cities. Through qualitative research into landless farmers in the city of Suzhou\, this study explores urban development not only as incorporation through the market\, but also as economic and social integration through local governance. Governance of landless famers has become a local state-building process through developing local urbanization trajectories\, local fiscal strategies\, and inter-city competition. As a result\, the making of new citizens goes hand in hand with local state-building during China’s urbanization.  \n\n\n\n​Beibei Tang is Professor of China Studies at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. She has undertaken extensive ethnographic research across different localities in China\, with particular focuses on local govern­ance\, social stratification\, and state-society relations in urban China. Her research is published in high-impact journals such as The China Quarterly\, The China Journal\, and Journal of Contemporary China. She is the author of Governing Neighborhoods in Urban China (Cornell University Press 2023) and China’s Housing Middle Class (Routledge 2018)\, the co-author of Class and the Communist Party of China\, 1978-2021 (Routledge 2022)\, the co-editor of Suzhou in Transition (Routledge 2021)\, and the winner of the 2015 Gordon White Prize (The China Quarterly). She is a member of the editorial board of The China Journal and The China Quarterly. \n\n\n\nThis event series is made possible by the generous support of the MIT Sustainable Urbanization Lab\, the School of Community and Regional Planning at the University of British Columbia\, and the Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Eugene Wang - “Bardo” before the Bardo: Is There an ancient Chinese Book of the Dead?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Eugene Wang\, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Professor of Asian Art\, Harvard UniversityWhat is it like to be dead? Two Books of Dead dominate our thinking about afterlife and near-death experience. One is the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead\, the other the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Granted\, both titles are misleading. So the use of “book” is provisional in following this generic convention as a heuristic device and analytic framework. The real crux here is the subjectivity of the disembodied consciousness\, the visualization of postmortem condition\, i.e.\, the imaginary construct of what it is like to be dead\, and what the disembodied subject\, in its intermediate or in-between state (bardo)\, sees and goes through. To that end\, there is indeed a kind of Chinese Book of the Dead around 2nd century BCE. It exists in both textual and material modes. Archeology in recent years further testifies to its currency. Professor Wang’s lecture will walk us through the textual and visual iterations of the ancient Chinese Book of the Dead and demonstrate how to read it. \n\n\n\nEugene Wang is the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Professor of Asian Art at Harvard. A Guggenheim Fellow\, he is the art history editor of the Encyclopedia of Buddhism. His book\, Shaping the Lotus Sutra: Buddhist Visual Culture in Medieval China received an academic achievement award from Japan. His research ranges from ancient to modern Chinese art. He is the founding director of Harvard FAS CAMlab that explores cognitive art history through digital scenography. \n\n\n\nLunch will be served. Please RSVP to ancientstudies@harvard.edu if you plan to attend. \n\n\n\nAttendance via Zoom is possible.

SUMMARY:Chinese Politics and Foreign Policy Workshop featuring Daniel Mattingly - The Party and the Gun: How the Military Shapes Elite Conflict in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Daniel Mattingly\, Assistant Professor of Political Science\, Yale University \n\n\n\nHow do authoritarian leaders such as Xi Jinping consolidate political power? In this book\, I examine how control over the military has been crucial for elite and mass power struggles in Chinese politics. Drawing on new quantitative data on officers in the PLA\, and extensive qualitative evidence\, I trace how leaders’ ties to military officers help them fend off elite challengers\, consolidate power\, and ratchet up mass political control. \n\n\n\nDaniel Mattingly is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Yale University. He studies authoritarian politics and historical political economy with a focus on China. He is the author of The Art of Political Control in China (Cambridge University Press\, 2020)\, which examines how the Chinese state controls protests and implements ambitious social policies. It was named one of the best books of 2020 by Foreign Affairs and received the best book award from the Democracy and Autocracy Section of the American Political Science Association. His current book project examines the role of the military in China’s domestic and international politics. He received a Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and a B.A. from Yale University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Wei Wei - Family Matters: Chinese Queer Politics Around the Rise of a Family-State
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wei Wei\, Professor of Sociology\, East China Normal University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23 \n\n\n\nChair/Discussant: Michael Bronski\, Professor of the Practice In Media And Activism In Studies Of Women\, Gender\, And Sexuality\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nLGBT activism in mainland China\, based on the trajectory of identity politics\, faces increasing challenges from the state in recent years. Drawing insights from the scholarship of provincizing sexual citizenship and building on my decades-long researches into Chinese LGBT communities and activism\, the study situates such challenges and responses of the LGBT communities in the context of a rising Chinese family-state. It first lays out the bleak reality of civic participation and mobilization\, parallel to the ascendance of familist discourses\, that lead to the reconfiguration of Chinese queer politics. The engagement of LGBT communities to the Chinese family-state will be the focus of the talk. On the one hand\, the newly emerging LGBT parent families utilize the opportunities of policy change to strive for the state’s recognition; on the other hand\, family value as a shared rhetoric but open for contestation\, has been appropriated by the LGBT activism to negotiate with the state for survival. The talk concludes with a discussion of Chinese homonationalism in the making\, which may also have implication for queer politics beyond China. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar Talk \n\n\n\nMasks are required for all in-person audience members. Seating is limited. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar featuring Xin Wen - Curating a Museum of Stones: The “Forest of Stelae” (Beilin) and the Politics of the Past in Middle Period China
DESCRIPTION:register for hybrid zoom session\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead our blog post on the event: What a Museum of Tang Stones Says About How China Views its Past \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Xin Wen\, Assistant Professor of East Asian Studies and History\, Princeton University \n\n\n\nChang’an\, the capital of the Tang dynasty (618–907)\, was the largest city in the medieval world. The walled area of the city measured 84 square kilometers and the population likely reached one million. Unlike other pre-modern cities such as Rome and Tenochtitlan that contained many monumental stone buildings\, Chang’an’s walls\, palaces and houses were made of rammed earth and supported by wooden structures. As a result\, little remains of this mammoth city are still visible above ground now in modern Xi’an. The only monuments that survived the centuries of erosion after Chang’an’s abandonment in 904 were stone commemorative stelae that once accompanied almost every significant urban construction\, from palaces and monasteries to private residences and tombs. In this lecture\, I explore the diverse lives of these stone monuments in Chang’an during the Song\, the Jin and the Yuan dynasties. Some stones were destroyed or buried\, but others were re-carved and reused. A select few\, including the ninth century Stone Classics (shijing) and stelae bearing the handwriting of masters like Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan\, were assembled at the Provincial School and the Confucius Temple. This collection of stone monuments began to take shape in the eleventh century and continued to expand and change in the subsequent centuries. By exploring the curatorial agenda\, maintenance personnel\, and visitor profiles of this collection\, I argue that its social and cultural roles in the urban landscape of post-Tang Chang’an resembled those of a modern museum. What this medieval museum exhibits is a uniquely literary reading of the history of the Tang dynasty\, and of China. \n\n\n\nXin Wen is an assistant professor of East Asian Studies and History at Princeton University. He is a historian of medieval China\, Central Asia\, and Eurasia. His first book is The King’s Road: Diplomacy and the Remaking of the Silk Road (Princeton University Press\, January 2022). He is now working on a second book\, an urban history of Chang’an after the fall of the Tang dynasty. \n\n\n\nThis talk is co-sponsored by the IAAS program. \n\n\n\nAlso available via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Urban China Series featuring Eli Friedman - The Urbanization of People: The Politics of Development\, Labor Markets\, and Schooling in the Chinese City
DESCRIPTION:Zoom meeting link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Eli Friedman\, Cornell University \n\n\n\nBeginning in 2014 China’s central government began pushing for more people to move to cities\, as they believe that increased urbanization will be necessary in advancing a new phase of economic development. But despite cities’ heavy reliance on the labor of rural migrants\, major institutional obstacles remain for those wishing to settle permanently. Perhaps the most important form of social exclusion for migrant workers is in education. Using the school system as a lens on the urbanization process\, I ask how local governments are managing flows of people into the city\, which groups are included in which places and why\, and what the socio-economic consequences of this approach are for Chinese society. My key empirical argument is that urban governments are providing access to public education precisely to those that need it least\, i.e. families with already high levels of economic\, cultural\, and social capital. The only option for excluded migrants is to enroll their children in resource-starved private schools\, which are sometimes subjected to closure and even coercive demolition. Elite cities have developed evaluative frameworks that allow them to fully incorporate those migrants judged to be of high quality\, while the “low-end populations” are shunted away to smaller\, less well-resourced locales with inferior public services. These conditions appear likely to reinforce existing social and spatial forms of inequality. \n\n\n\nEli Friedman is associate professor and chair of International and Comparative Labor at Cornell University. In addition to The Urbanization of People\, he is also the author of Insurgency Trap: Labor Politics in Postsocialist China. \n\n\n\nThis event series is made possible by the generous support of the MIT Sustainable Urbanization Lab\, the School of Community and Regional Planning at the University of British Columbia\, and the Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Margaret Pearson - China’s Overseas Economic Push: Influence or Backlash
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead our blog post on the event: Why the Narrative on China’s Rising Overseas Economic Influence Might be Inaccurate \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Margaret Pearson\, Dr. Horace E. and Wilma V. Harrison Distinguished Professor\, and Distinguished Scholar-Teacher in the Department of Government and Politics\, University of Maryland\, College Park \n\n\n\nModerator: Meg Rithmire\, F. Warren MacFarlan Associate Professor in the Business\, Government\, and International Economy Unit\, Harvard Business School. \n\n\n\nAs China’s economic activities expand abroad\, the consequences are controversial.  When do China’s economic contributions influence countries to align more closely with Beijing?  When do they generate political backlash and reduce Chinese influence?  What remains unknown?  Building off their recent Foreign Affairs article\, Margaret Pearson\, along with co-author and discussant Meg Rithmire\, discuss overseas reactions to Chinese expanding economic reach and the new China shock. \n\n\n\nMargaret Pearson is the Dr. Horace E. and Wilma V. Harrison Distinguished Professor\, and Distinguished Scholar-Teacher in the Department of Government and Politics\, University of Maryland\, College Park. Pearson’s research on China’s domestic politics focuses on state control of the economy\, central-local bureaucratic relations\, and environmental policy. On Chinese foreign policy\, Pearson’s ongoing projects focus on conceptualizations of and reactions to China’s overseas economic activities\, determinants of Beijing’s behavior in global institutions\, and climate change governance. She teaches courses on Chinese domestic politics and foreign policy\, and on comparative politics. She has held a Fulbright Research Fellowship at Beijing University. \n\n\n\nPearson received a Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University and was an Associate Professor with tenure at Dartmouth College before moving to UMCP in 1996. Her books include China’s Strategic Multilateralism: Investing in Global Governance (with Scott Kastner and Chad Rector\, Cambridge University Press\, 2019)\, China’s New Business Elite: The Political Results of Economic Reform (University of California Press\, 1997)\, and Joint Ventures in the People’s Republic of China (Princeton University Press\, 1991).

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China featuring Ma Jun - Can China Meet its Green Targets?
DESCRIPTION:Register for zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Ma Jun\, Director\, Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE)Moderator: Daniel Schrag\, Sturgis Hooper Professor of Geology\, Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering\, Harvard University; Director\, Harvard University Center for the Environment \n\n\n\n***PLEASE NOTE EARLIER START TIME*** \n\n\n\nPresident Xi Jinping has sought to make the environment part of his lasting legacy. Since 2012\, China has drastically improved air pollution and developed a world-leading clean energy industry. In 2020\, Xi made a historic climate commitment\, setting a target for net-zero emissions by 2060. But with a stagnant economy\, Xi’s vision for phasing out fossil fuels is looking harder and harder to realize. How are industry leaders and officials at all levels coping with environmental challenges in the face of shrinking profits? Can China continue to lead the world\, or will the green dreams be deferred? \n\n\n\nMa Jun is one of China’s most influential environmentalists. As director of the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE)\, he developed the China Water Pollution Map\, the first public database of water pollution information in China\, and works with private and state-sector industry to help them improve their environmental performance. \n\n\n\nMa also serves as environmental consultant for the Sinosphere Corporation. In the 1990s Ma became known as an investigative journalist\, working at the South China Morning Post from 1993 to 2000. There\, he began to specialize in articles on environmental subjects. He eventually became the chief representative of SCMP.com in Beijing. Ma’s 1999 book China’s Water Crisis\, China’s first major book on the subject\, has been compared to Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. In 2006\, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential persons in the world. \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Brandon Dotson - Marginal Comedy and the Production of Sutras in 9th-Century Dunhuang
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Brandon Dotson\, Associate Professor and Thomas P. McKenna Chair of Buddhist Studies\, Georgetown University \n\n\n\nThere is something delightful about jottings and doodles in the margins of religious books. Perhaps it is the counterpoint that they offer to the generally serious and devout contents of the texts they abut. Perhaps it is also that marginalia emphasize the process of producing scripture\, and the human hands at work. Marginalia\, particularly marginal images\, are more familiar to studies of medieval European manuscripts than to Asian manuscript studies. This talk employs a selection of jottings and doodles created during the production of copies of the Tibetan Perfection of Wisdom Sutra in 100\,000 lines (Skt. Śatasāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā; Tib. Yum ’bum pa) at Dunhuang from the late-820s to early 840s. Attending to scribes’ and editors’ fits of anger and devotion\, and also to their comedic doodles and scrawls\, it offers a glimpse into the personalities and lives of the Chinese and Tibetan men and women tasked with producing these sutras. It suggests that we appreciate their comedy both as a relief from the sometimes monotonous nature of their work\, and from the challenging conditions under which they labored. \n\n\n\nBrandon Dotson is associate professor and Thomas P. McKenna Chair of Buddhist Studies at Georgetown University. Besides Georgetown\, he has taught and researched at Oxford\, SOAS\, UCSB\, and Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich. He has also enjoyed research stays in China and Tibet. His work concerns ritual\, narrative\, and cosmology and the interaction of Buddhist and non-Buddhist traditions in the Tibetan cultural area. In particular\, he works closely with Tibetan Dunhuang manuscripts to explore the history and culture of the Tibetan Empire (7th to 9th centuries CE). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Jie Gao - From Planned Economy to Planned Governance: Transformation of China’s Socialist Planning System
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jie Gao\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Political Science\, National University of Singapore; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23Discussant: Isabella Weber\, Assistant Professor of Economics\, University of Massachusetts\, Amherst \n\n\n\nIn China as in many other Communist countries\, the evolution of socialist planning has been central to the transition from a planned economy to a market-oriented one. Conventional wisdom argues that the market will “grow out of the plan” in tandem with the state’s gradual abandonment of the core features of the Soviet-style socialist planning system\, such as direct state allocation of materials. But have the scope and reach of the socialist planning system been reduced after the market grows out of the plan? This study argues that after three decades of marketization and decentralization reforms\, the socialist planning system has not shrunk. On the contrary\, it has been “reinvented\,” and its role in governing China has expanded. The transformation of the socialist planning system can be observed from the rise of a governance-by-targets regime during the past four decades—a phenomenon that performance targets\, many of which are derived from the party-state’s development plans\, are increasingly and ubiquitously used in managing social\, economic and political affairs. Put in this light\, China is moving from a planned economy to “planned governance”\, and during this process\, the reinvention of the socialist plan is happening alongside the growth of the socialist market\, rather than one superseding the other. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar Talk \n\n\n\nSeating is limited.
