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/ LOCATION:NY 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/ LOCATION:NY 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/ LOCATION:NY 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.
