SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture Series featuring Rebecca Nedostup - "War Being" in Mid Twentieth Century China and Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rebecca Nedostup\, Associate Professor of History\, Associate Professor of East Asian Studies\, Brown UniversityTwo decades of intense hot and cold war in China and Taiwan between the 1930s and 1950s produced not only significant economic\, political\, and environmental changes\, but notable consequences for the epistemological structuring of everyday experience. Using examples of shifting conceptions of physical and cosmological refuge found in Jiangsu\, Sichuan\, and Taiwan\, I suggest some ways in which the scale and conduct of warfare during this period challenged but did not entirely erase extant conceptions of space and time. Although national and geopolitical frameworks threatened to eclipse alternate ways in which people made community among the living and the dead\, knowledge and projections of spatial and chronological arrangements were still intimately tied to the social networks that activated them – even as such networks were themselves in flux. The tension between state utilizations of population displacement and the self-conception and self-organization of the displaced themselves would set the stage for the large-scale social experiments and new migration patterns of the late twentieth century. \n\n\n\nRebecca Nedostup is a historian of twentieth-century China and Taiwan at Brown University. She works on displacement and emplacement; the social and political roles of the living and the dead in times of disruption; and the relationship of transitional justice and historical consciousness. Her book Superstitious Regimes: Religion and the Politics of Chinese Modernity looked at the modern categorization of religious practice and its social and political ramifications. Her next book. War Being\, is on the making and unmaking of community among people displaced by conflict across China and Taiwan from the 1930s through the 1950s. More broadly\, she is interested in ritual studies\, critical archive studies\, digital ontologies\, and historic preservation. She is faculty director of the Choices program\, and was previously Visiting Chair of Taiwan Studies at the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) and Leiden University Institute for Area Studies (LIAS). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Flying Flowers and Scattered Snow (飞花散雪): A Performance of Calligraphy by Wang Dongling
DESCRIPTION:Wang Dongling 王冬龄\, one of China’s most highly regarded contemporary ink painters\, will demonstrate his luan shu (“chaotic script”) calligraphy in a special event in the Calderwood Courtyard. In this energetic performance\, he will draw upon ancient texts and brush-painting traditions to create a large gestural work focused on the exalted West Lake poems of Su Dongpo (1037–1101). Located in Hangzhou\, West Lake has served as a source of inspiration for generations of poets\, scholars\, and artists\, including Wang. \n\n\n\nWang Dongling is professor of calligraphy and director of the Modern Calligraphy Research Center at the China Academy of Art\, Hangzhou. He has held three solo exhibitions at the National Art Museum of China\, and his work has been exhibited and acquired internationally. Like many artists of his generation\, Wang’s education was interrupted by the Cultural Revolution (1966–76)\, but working outside the constraints of conventional art schools granted him the freedom to explore novel techniques. He returned to his studies in the late 1970s\, incorporating foreign approaches into his work throughout the 1980s and 1990s. \n\n\n\nThe Harvard Art Museums offer free admission every day\, Tuesday through Sunday. Please see the museum visit page to learn about our general policies for visiting the museums. \n\n\n\nThis program is made possible in part through the support of Shining (Christina) Sun. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Susan Greenhalgh - Soda Science: Making the World Safe for Coca-Cola
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Susan Greenhalgh\, John King and Wilma Cannon Fairbank Research Professor of Chinese Society Emerita\, Department of Anthropology\, Harvard UniversityModerator: Nicole West Bassoff\, PhD Candidate in Public Policy\, Harvard Kennedy School \n\n\n\nThe 1990s were tough times for the soda industry. In the United States\, obesity rates were exploding. Public health critics pointed to sugary soda as a main culprit and advocated for soda taxes that might decrease the consumption of sweetened beverages—and threaten the revenues of the giant soda companies. In her new book\, Soda Science\, Greenhalgh tells the story of how\, during 1995-2015\, industry leader Coca-Cola mobilized allies in academia to create a soda-defense science that would protect profits by advocating exercise\, not dietary restraint\, as the priority solution to obesity\, a view few experts accept. Anthropologist and science studies specialist Susan Greenhalgh discovers a hidden world of science-making—with distinctive organizations\, social networks\, knowledge-making practices\, and ethical claims—dedicated to creating industry-friendly science and keeping it under wraps. Coke’s research isn’t fake science\, she argues; it was real science\, conducted by real and eminent scientists\, but distorted by its aim. By tracing the birth\, maturation\, death\, and effects of this global science project as it spread in two sites – the U.S. and China – Soda Science reveals the cunning ways giant corporations come to shape our diets\, lifestyles\, and health to their own needs. \n\n\n\nNote: This is a science studies talk about Prof. Greenhalgh’s new book; a talk for China Studies scholars will be scheduled at a later date.Also via Zoom.

SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar featuring Matthew Wild — When was Qing Poetry? Huang Jingren and the Ancient Song
DESCRIPTION:**NOTE UPDATED DATE***Speaker: Matthew Wild\, Preceptor in Literary Sinitic\, Harvard University. \n\n\n\nThis talk examines the poetics of time at the height of Qing empire. It offers a new approach to the work of the Qing poet Huang Jingren (1749–1783) against his subsequent appropriation by early twentieth-century writers who claimed Huang as a proleptic modern Chinese author born to the wrong era. The central focus of discussion will be an overlooked set of ritual songs that Huang Jingren presented to the Qianlong emperor in 1776. Composed in an ancient form called the “Nao song\,” these hymns proclaim the glories of the Second Jinchuan War (1771–1776)\, the longest and most intensive of the famous Qianlong military campaigns. I offer close readings to explore how Huang’s Nao songs exalt the emperor’s Jinchuan conquest by inventing new archaic language\, transcribing a quintessentially eighteenth-century event—involving elite Manchu warriors\, Jesuit military advisors\, advanced ballistics technology\, and Tibetan Buddhist tantric rituals—into the sublime symbolic register of remotest time. By taking seriously Huang’s investment in antiquity as a mode for historicizing his present\, this talk aims to open a new horizon for the study of Qing literature. \n\n\n\nMatthew Wild is Preceptor in Literary Sinitic at Harvard University. His research focuses on classical poetry in Chinese and Literary Sinitic cultures\, with special interests in performance\, print culture\, traditional literary criticism\, and the history of textual scholarship. He is preparing a book manuscript titled Singing in Time: Philology and the Lyric Imagination in Eighteenth-Century China\, which explores the role of ancient-style poetry within the mid-Qing archaeological and philological movement known as kaozheng\, or “evidential scholarship.” He received his BA in Chinese from Reed College and his PhD in East Asian Languages and Cultures from the University of California\, Berkeley. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
