In its aftermath\, new groups of intellectuals emerged from grassroots society\, devoted to constituting alternative forms of knowledge outside the academy: amateur historians researching the Mao era\, amateur ethnographers using documentary films to investigate social issues\, grassroots lawyers working with disenfranchised groups to build rights-awareness\, and citizen bloggers and journalists challenging the state control of the public sphere. Although these groups have come under increasing pressure since 2012\, their ideas continue to inspire new dynamics in China’s society today. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nSebastian Veg is a Professor (directeur d’études) of intellectual history and literature of 20th century China at the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS)\, Paris and an Honorary Professor at the University of Hong Kong. He has written on Chinese intellectuals from May Fourth to the present\, the memory of the Mao era\, and the democracy movement in Hong Kong. \n  \nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n  \nNo registration required. \n  \n  URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/minjian-the-rise-of-chinas-grassroots-intellectuals/ CATEGORIES:Archived Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20190415T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20190415T173000 DTSTAMP:20190829T164032Z CREATED:20190227T150345Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190829T164032Z UID:12795-1555344000-1555349400@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:"Chinese Oral Histories at Columbia and Beyond: Lessons and Legacies for Now and Future" DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion\nFeaturing: \nGuangyao Jin\, Professor of History Department and Director of  International Center for Studies of Chinese Civilization\, Fudan University\, China \nAndrew J. Nathan\, the Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science at Columbia University \nJim Cheng\, Director\, C.V. Starr East Asian Library \nMary Marshall Clark\, Director\, Columbia Center for Oral History Research \nYingwen Huang\, Chinese Materials Archivist\, Columbia Rare Book and Manuscript Library \nChengzhi Wang\, Chinese Studies Librarian\, C.V. Starr East Asian Library \n  \nHistorical source materials keep their scholarly value unabated with the passage of time. This is especially true of the Chinese Oral History Project collections at Columbia. The WEAI’s Chinese Oral History Project was officially started in 1958 by Prof. C. Martin Wilbur and Prof. Franklin Ho\, the project’s co-directors\, and lasted until the end of 1970s. As a result of the decades’ hard work of many scholars and the students at WEAI\, a great number of oral histories and archival collections of significant importance were created and acquired; Most of them have been preserved in the Columbia Libraries and made accessible to interested students and scholars from everywhere. WEAI’s Chinese Oral History Project leaders and scholars lent critical support to oral history initiatives of Academia Sinica in Taiwan; the WEAI’s project and the standardized approaches of oral history have inspired almost all China/Chinese-related oral histories scholars and practitioners across the world\, particularly recently in mainland China. Even today\, the Columbia Libraries continues processing the unprocessed archival collections associated with the WEAI’s project and improving the finding aids of many collections. And the digitization of the collections in collaboration with the Academy of China Social Sciences has been initially experimented\, as in the first-phase digitization of the Wellington Koo Papers. To better understand the history of WEAI and the institute’s significant contribution to the studies of modern China through the project\, at the 70th anniversary of WEAI it is fitting and useful to look back and reflect on the lessons\, legacies and issues surrounding the project\, the current status of the oral history creation\, production\, library collection and access at Columbia and in Greater China Area\, and the future directions of Chinese oral and public history development. \nThe roundtable is intended to introduce and analyze the special status of the WEAI’s Chinese Oral History Project situated in the oral history initiatives at Columbia and the movement across the country\, and in the China-U.S. relations from the cold war time. It also informs the current development and transformations of oral and public history projects in the Greater China Area in changed domestic and international environments. In addition\, it addresses the issues of library collection and research access of oral histories and related papers in the U.S. and China. \n  \n  \nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n  \nNo registration required. \nFor any press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King at ak4364@columbia.edu URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/chinese-oral-histories-at-columbia-and-beyond-lessons-and-legacies-for-now-and-future/ CATEGORIES:Archived Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20190410T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20190410T190000 DTSTAMP:20190829T163914Z CREATED:20190408T160457Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190829T163914Z UID:13028-1554915600-1554922800@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:"Gateway State: Hawai'i and the Cultural Transformation of American Empire" DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nFeaturing: Dr. Sarah Miller Davenport\, University of Sheffield \nModerator: Lien-Hang Nguyen\, Dorothy Borg Associate Professor in the History of the United States and East Asia at Columbia University \n  \nFayerweather\, Room 513 \nNo registration required. \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King ak4364@columbia.edu \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored by Center for International History and Weatherhead East Asian Institute URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/gateway-state-hawaii-and-the-cultural-transformation-of-american-empire/ CATEGORIES:Archived Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20190409T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20190409T193000 DTSTAMP:20190829T163913Z CREATED:20190405T133522Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190829T163913Z UID:13003-1554829200-1554838200@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:"Infrastructure as Asset or Public Good" DESCRIPTION:Lecture\n  \nFeaturing Dr. Pon Souvannaseng\, Research Associate at the Global Development Institute\, University of Manchester \n  \nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918\nNo registration required.\nFor any press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King at ak4364@columbia.edu \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored by New York Southeast Asian Network and Weatherhead East Asian Institute.

The signs of Buddhism’s improved status were visible: Buddhism was hailed as a religion helping to protect the country (hoguk Pulgyo); the royal family\, particularly its female members\, extended their financial support to a number of temples recovering from the ruins of the war; the state embraced Buddhist monks as an important and useful element for national defense; and Buddhism gained more and more popularity as an avenue of ritual care for ancestral spirits. What caused Buddhism to be transformed into a religion beneficial\, not detrimental\, to society and the state? In this talk\, Hur will discuss the activities in which Buddhist monks were involved during the war of Japan’s invasion of Chosŏn Korea in 1592-98 – ones that helped Buddhism be reshaped in Late Chosŏn Korea. For this\, Hur will pay attention to three activities which Buddhist monks performed: they fought as voluntary soldiers against Japanese invaders; they offered free labor in building defense fortresses; and one of them\, Yujŏng (also known as Samyŏngdang)\, was even charged to conduct diplomacy for the government. All these were previously unprecedented in the history of Buddhism in Chosŏn Korea. In assessing the enhanced status of Buddhism after the war\, Hur will particularly explore the financial structure of Chosŏn Korea’s governance that was at the root of Buddhist transformation in times of national crisis. \n  \nFaculty House\, Seminar Room 2 \n6:00 PM- 7:30 PM \nCo-sponsored by the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures; the Department of Religion; the Academy of Korean Studies \n  URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/soldiers-turned-laborers-guards-buddhist-monks-in-choson-korea-at-the-turn-of-the-sixteenth-century/ CATEGORIES:Archived Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20190307T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20190307T190000 DTSTAMP:20190829T163820Z CREATED:20190225T153027Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190829T163820Z UID:12742-1551978000-1551985200@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:"Arc of Containment: Britain\, the United States and Anticommunism in Southeast Asia" DESCRIPTION:Lecture\nFeaturing Wen-Qing Ngoei\, Nanyang Technological University \nModerated by Lien-Hnag Nguyen\, Dorothy Borg Assistant Professor of History at Columbia University \n  \nArc of Containment recasts the history of American empire in Southeast and East Asia from World War II through the end of American intervention in Vietnam. Setting aside the classic story of anxiety about falling dominoes\, Wen-Qing Ngoei articulates a new regional history premised on strong security and sure containment guaranteed by Anglo-American cooperation. Ngoei argues that anticommunist nationalism in Southeast Asia intersected with preexisting local antipathy toward China and the Chinese diaspora to usher the region from European-dominated colonialism to US hegemony. \n  \nFayerweather\, Room 513 \n  \nCo-sponsored by the Center for International History URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/arc-of-containment-britain-the-united-states-and-anticommunism-in-southeast-asia/ CATEGORIES:Archived Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20190221T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20190221T190000 DTSTAMP:20190829T163820Z CREATED:20190103T164159Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190829T163820Z UID:12245-1550772000-1550775600@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:CKR Event: “Colonizing Language: Cultural Production and Language Politics in Modern Japan and Korea” DESCRIPTION:Book Talk hosted by Center for Korean Research \n“Colonizing Language: Cultural Production and Language Politics in Modern Japan and Korea” \nA Book Discussion with Christina Yi\nThursday\, February 21\, 2019\, 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM\n403 Kent Hall Lounge \nRegistration not required. \nCo-sponsored by the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, the Donald Keene Center\, and Columbia University Press URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/colonizing-language-cultural-production-and-language-politics-in-modern-japan-and-korea/ CATEGORIES:Archived Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20190214T141000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20190214T160000 DTSTAMP:20190829T163820Z CREATED:20190208T213341Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190829T163820Z UID:12610-1550153400-1550160000@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:"Political Literary Action and the Self-Strengthening Literary Movement" DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Lecture\n  \nFeaturing: Martina Nguyen\, Assistant Professor of Southeast Asian History\, Weissman School of Arts & Sciences\, Baruch College\nModerated by: John Phan\, Assistant Professor\, Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures\, Columbia University. \nProfessor Nguyen is an historian specializing in the social\, intellectual\, and political reformist movements that swept Vietnam during the end of the French colonial period\, and especially over the 1920s-1930s. Professor Nguyen examines one group in particular\, which not only exerted an enormous\, lasting influence on language and literary expression in modern Vietnam\, but also effected substantial political change in the volatile anticolonial climate of the 1930s and 1940s. This group\, known as the Self-Strengthening Literary Movement (Viet. Tự lực văn đoàn) was responsible for widespread social reform movements\, the promotion of the Romanized alphabet (still in use today)\, growth of a modern Vietnamese tradition of short fiction\, and an anticolonial sentiment based on French revolutionary ideals. The movement was also stylized after contemporary Chinese intellectual reformist movements\, and was in direct contact with likeminded reformist and revolutionary movements across East Asia. \n337 Mudd Hall \n  \nNo registration required.\nFor any press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King at ak4364@columbia.edu URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/political-literary-action-and-the-self-strengthening-literary-movement/ CATEGORIES:Archived Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20190205T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20190205T133000 DTSTAMP:20190829T163820Z CREATED:20190116T152739Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190829T163820Z UID:12326-1549368000-1549373400@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:"The Worldliest Minority: Chinese Muslims and the Global History of Guomindang Nation-Building\, 1927-1949" DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Lecture\nWith John Chen\, Lecturer and Wm. Theodore de Bary Postdoctoral Fellow\, Heyman Center for the Humanities and Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \nModerated by Eugenia Lean\, Director\, Weatherhead East Asian Institute; Associate Professor of Chinese history\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \n  \nAt a time of empire-to-nation transitions across Asia\, the same Chinese Muslims most responsible for reconnecting with Muslims outside China also played formative roles in state- and nation-building in China. This heterogeneous but cohesive network consisted of government officials\, imams\, military figures\, merchants\, educators\, and scholars tied to the centers of power in China’s coastal cities. This network’s relationship with the Guomindang was backed by the influential Chinese Muslim warlords of Gansu\, but the forms and consequences of that relationship went beyond simple hard power. Rather\, the relationship produced new knowledge and new claims about Muslim identity that then informed further concrete actions on behalf of the state–in all cases\, combining elements of transnational Islamic modernism with Chinese nationalism. Examples included Chinese Muslim political and military interventions in Tibet and Xinjiang\, the production of patriotic propaganda in Arabic and Uyghur\, the shared intellectual projects of certain Chinese Muslims and Han Chinese thinkers\, the establishment of pro-state Muslim schools in strategic frontier territories\, and the dispatching of Chinese Muslim diplomatic delegations to the Middle East and Southeast Asia during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-45). Throughout\, new narratives of who the Muslims of China were both shaped and were shaped by the expansive\, if not entirely coherent\, aspirations of China’s first unified post-imperial state. \n  \nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n  \nNo Registration Required \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King ak4364@columbia.edu URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/the-worldliest-minority-chinese-muslims-and-the-global-history-of-guomindang-nation-building-1927-1949/ LOCATION:International Affairs Building\, Room 918\, New York\, 10027 CATEGORIES:Archived Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20190108T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20190108T173000 DTSTAMP:20190829T163820Z CREATED:20190222T165006Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190829T163820Z UID:12249-1546957800-1546968600@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:CKR Event: “100 Years of Korean Popular Music” DESCRIPTION:Workshop hosted by Center for Korean Research \n“100 Years of Korean Popular Music” \nRoald Maliangkay\, Australian National University\nSuk-Young Kim\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nDal Yong Jin\, Simon Fraser University\nModerated by So-Rim Lee\, CKR -AKS Postdoctoral Fellow; Hye Eun Choi\, Korea Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow\n\n2:30 PM – 5:30 PM\nFriday\, March 8\, 2019\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n  \nCo-sponsored by: The Academy of Korean Studies’ Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/100-years-of-korean-popular-music/ LOCATION:International Affairs Building Room 918\, Columbia University - International Affairs Building Room 918\, New York\, NY\, 10027\, United States CATEGORIES:Archived Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181130 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181202 DTSTAMP:20190829T163820Z CREATED:20181114T191037Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190829T163820Z UID:12104-1543536000-1543708799@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:"How International\, Transnational\, and Global History Conquered the World: A Conference in Honor of Adam McKeown" DESCRIPTION:“How International\, Transnational\, and Global History Conquered the World: A Conference in Honor of Adam McKeown” \nNovember 30th – December 1st\, 2018\nColumbia University\nHeyman Center \nGuy Alitto\, University of Chicago\nKyoungjin Bae\, Kenyon College\nLauren Benton\, Vanderbilt University\nRichard Bulliet\, Columbia University\nJohn Chen\, Columbia University\nSheetal Chhabria\, Connecticut College\nDavid Cook-Martin\, New York University Abu Dhabi\nMatt Connelly\, Columbia University\nAndre Kobayashi Deckrow\, Columbia University\nMartin Fromm\, Worcester State University\nAimee Genell\, University of West Georgia\nIra Katznelson\, Columbia University\nRebecca Kobrin\, Columbia University\nUlug Kuzuoglu\, Columbia University\nEugenia Lean\, Columbia University\nLine Lillevik\, Columbia University\nAndrew Liu\, Villanova University\nMichael Christopher Low\, Iowa State University\nPatrick Manning\, University of Pittsburgh\nOwen Miller\, Union College\nJose Moya\, Columbia University\nSamuel Moyn\, Yale University\nJack Neubauer\, Columbia University\nMae Ngai\, Columbia University\nCaterina Pizzigoni\, Columbia University\nMeha Priyadarshini\, University of Edinburgh\nTansen Sen\, New York Univeristy\, Shanghai\nJohn Straussberger\, Florida Gulf Coast University\nEric Tagliacozzo\, Cornell University\nJohn Torpey\, The Graduate Center\, CUNY\nArne Westad\, Harvard University\nSamuel White\, Ohio State University\nBin Yang\, University of Macau \nCo-Sponsored by Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, ISERP\, Columbia’s History\nDepartment and the Heyman Center URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/how-international-transnational-and-global-history-conquered-the-world-a-conference-in-honor-of-adam-mckeown/ LOCATION:Heyman Center for the Humanities\, 74 Morningside Drive\, New York\, 10027\, United States CATEGORIES:Archived Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20181129T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20181129T190000 DTSTAMP:20190829T163820Z CREATED:20181113T213732Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190829T163820Z UID:12099-1543507200-1543518000@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:"Symposium in Memory of Iuming Suez: Modernizing China through Diplomatic and Missionary Pursuits and Overseas Education" DESCRIPTION:Symposium in Memory of Iuming Suez: Modernizing China through Diplomatic and Missionary Pursuits and Overseas Education \nSymposium \nAn Thorton\, Vice Provost and University Librarian\, Columbia\nEugenia Lean\, WEAI director\, Columbia\nWei Shang\, EALAC Acting Chair\, Columbia\nAndrew J.

Protestantism in Korea has been intertwined with the histories of Western imperialism\, Japanese colonialism\, modern nation-state building\, democracy movements and most recently neoliberalism. It has also made a significant imprint upon class formation\, gender relations\, and everyday practices. Furthermore\, South Korea has become a leader in sending missionaries overseas\, taking a prominent role in global Christianity. How should we understand the ubiquitous presence of Christianity in “secular” modern Korea and beyond? In this workshop\, presenters will discuss the dynamic\, sometimes conflicting and sometimes synergistic relationships that exist between the sacred and the secular within the sociopolitical\, economic\, cultural and affective domains. \n*Seung Min Hong will be joining the workshop via Skype URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/between-the-sacred-and-the-secular-christianity-as-lived-experience-in-modern-korea/ LOCATION:International Affairs Building\, Room 918\, New York\, 10027 CATEGORIES:Archived Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20181101T181000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20181101T193000 DTSTAMP:20190829T163819Z CREATED:20181010T152836Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190829T163819Z UID:11971-1541095800-1541100600@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:"Cross-Cultural Encounters in Contemporary Book Art between Baghdad and Beijing" DESCRIPTION:The Program in Chinese Literature and Culture at EALAC and CSSAAME Journal presents: Cross-Cultural Encounters in Contemporary Book Art between Baghdad and Beijing \nLecture \nSonja Mejcher-Atassi\, American University of Beirut \nThursday\, November 1\, 2018\n6:10 PM – 7:30 PM\n402 Kent Hall \nCo-sponsored by \nInstitute for Comparative Literature and Society \nWeatherhead East Asian Institute \nC.V.

Does such an approach to foreign policy still serve Indonesia well in dealing with the current regional and global dynamics? Joko Widodo introduced his vision to make Indonesia a Global Maritime Fulcrum soon after being sworn in as president in 2014\, which three years later\, in 2017\, was further elaborated in the Indonesian Ocean Policy as a vision of “Indonesia as a sovereign\, advanced\, independent\, strong maritime nation that is able to provide positive contribution for peace and security in the region as well as to the world”. Entering 2018\, with Indo-Pacific being the geopolitical buzzword\, Indonesia has proposed its own version of the Indo-Pacific vision. How have these latest developments shaped Indonesia’s current foreign policy?

It was first introduced in the 1920s\, was abolished after the People’s Republic of China was established in 1949\, and reestablished in 1989 in response to social problems that accompanied the economic reforms and modernization efforts of the same period. Both numbers of social work education and professional practice are increasing at an unprecedented rate in the past three decades. This presentation will cover the recent development of social work in China including how the international communities share their knowledge and resources; and the challenges and opportunities confronting the profession in China to meet the expectation as a means of sustaining economic development and actualizing a “harmonious society”. Professor Ada Mui will be the moderator of the presentation.

Steven Sangren\, Hu Shih Professor Emeritus\, Cornell University\nModerated by Nick Bartlett\, Assistant Professor of Contemporary Chinese Culture and Society\, Barnard College \nWednesday\, September 26\, 2018\n12:00 PM – 1:30 PM\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918\nNo registration required. \n____________ \nIn his recent book\, Filial Obsessions: Chinese Patriliny and Its Discontents\, Steven Sangren employs a broad analysis of Chinese patriliny to propose a distinctive theoretical conceptualization of the role of desire in culture. The book utilizes a unique synthesis of Marxian and psychoanalytic insights in arguing that Chinese patriliny is best understood as\, simultaneously\, “a mode of production of desire” and as “instituted fantasy.” The argument advances through discussions and analyses of kinship\, family\, gender\, filial piety\, ritual\, and (especially) mythic narratives. In each of these domains\, Sangren addresses the complex sentiments and ambivalences associated with filial relations. Unlike most earlier studies which approach Chinese patriliny and filial piety as irreducible markers of cultural difference\, Sangren argues that Chinese patriliny is better approached as a topic of critical inquiry in its own right.
