SUMMARY:"Frankenstein in China:  A Chinese Diplomat\, an Indian Automaton\, and the Characterization of China as a ‘Sleeping Lion'"
DESCRIPTION:Lecture \n“Frankenstein in China: A Chinese Diplomat\, an Indian Automaton\, and the Characterization of China as a ‘Sleeping Lion’” \nAri Larissa Heinrich\, Associate Professor of Modern Chinese Literature\, Comparative Literature\, and Cultural Studies\, University of California San Diego \nThursday\, November 9\, 2017\n6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nKent Hall\, Room 403 \nThis talk explores the history of Frankenstein’s monster—in his lesser-known\, extra-diegetic Chinese afterlife. Sketching out a quantitative genealogy of Frankenstein in China\, Heinrich develops an alternative history to highlight important shifts in corporeal aesthetics over the last two centuries\, teasing out along the way an unexpected relationship between Frankenstein and the well-known late nineteenth-century political characterization of China by Liang Qichao and others as a “sleeping lion.” The talk aims to establish some of the basic conceptual vocabulary for the emergence of a biopolitical aesthetics in China since the nineteenth century\, and to contextualize representations of the body and its antagonists—and thus what counts as “real”—in a more biotechnologically sophisticated age. \nThis event is organized by the Program in Chinese Literature and Culture with the Huang and Lin Fund at Columbia University and is cosponsored by the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society

SUMMARY:"Border Politics\, Wartime Documentary – Zheng Junli and Long Live the Nation(s) (1941)"
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening and Discussion \n“Border Politics\, Wartime Documentary – Zheng Junli and Long Live the Nation(s) (1941)” \nZheng Dali\, Filmmaker\nYing Qian\,  Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University\nJane Gaines\, Professor of Film\, Columbia University \n7:00 PM – 9:00 PM\nDodge Hall\, Room 511\nNo registration required. \n“Long Live the Nation(s)\,” made by the talented progressive filmmaker Zheng Junli at the height of the Sino-Japanese War between 1939-1941\, was one of earliest propaganda documentaries mobilizing non-Han peoples in the war of resistance against Japanese invasion. Even though the film was made under extreme wartime shortage of film stock and equipment\, and significant censorship\, it remains one of the most artistically accomplished documentaries of China’s Republican Era\, with a dynamic montage that bore influence from early Soviet cinema\, and a complex vision of ethnic relations beyond the official ideology. \nThis event is the first of a series of planned events at Columbia to celebrate Zheng Junli’s extraordinary creative career. Actor\, dramatist\, film director and essayist\, Zheng participated in the creation of some of China’s best-regarded early films\, such as New Woman (1934\, lead actor)\, Big Road (1934\, actor)\, The Spring River Flows East (1947\, co-director with Cai Chusheng)\, and Crows and Sparrows (1949\, director). He continued directing and writing during the early years of the PRC\, until his life was cut short by severe persecution during the Cultural Revolution. \nCo-sponsored by the C.V Starr East Asian Library\, MA Program in Film Studies (Columbia School of the Arts)\, and the Inner Asia Curricular Project

SUMMARY:"The Souls of China: The Return of Religion after Mao"
DESCRIPTION:Event Series: Religion and the State in China \n“The Souls of China: The Return of Religion after Mao” \nIan Johnson\, Pulitzer-Prize Winning Author\nModerated by Andrew J. Nathan\, Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science\, Columbia University\n12:00 PM – 1:30 PM\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918\nNo registration required.  \nPlease join us for a discussion with Ian Jonhson on his recent book\, The Souls of China: The Return of Religion after Mao. This book is the culmination of a six-year project following an underground Protestant church in Chengdu\, pilgrims in Beijing\, rural Daoist priests in Shanxi\, and meditation groups in caves in the country’s south. In it\, Mr. Johnson examines the spiritual revival taking place in China following a century of violent anti-religious campaigns. He argues that driving this explosion of faith is uncertainty–over what it means to be Chinese\, and how to live an ethical life in a country that discarded traditional morality a century ago and is still searching for new guideposts.

SUMMARY:"Fundamental Fiscal Reforms in China"
DESCRIPTION:Lecture \n“Fundamental Fiscal Reforms in China” \nChristine Wong\, Professor of Economics and founding Director of the Center for Contemporary Chinese Studies\, University of Melbourne \nModerated by Carl Riskin\, Senior Research Scholar\, Weatherhead East Asian Institute; Distinguished Professor of Economics\, Queens College\, The City University of New York \n12:00 PM- 1:30 PM\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918\nNo registration required \nIn the lead up to the 19th Party Congress in October 2017\, the dominant narrative on Xi Jinping’s first term is that his ambitious reform program has stalled\, and that the anti-corruption campaign is just a ruse for power-grab and repression. This lecture argues that behind the headlines\, significant progress has been made towards building the foundations for a rule-based system of governance. \nThe analysis starts from reviewing the progress in fiscal reform\, a sector seen as the linchpin of the ambitious\, comprehensive program announced at the Third Plenum of the Chinese Communist Party’s 18th  Party Congress in November 2013. From the outside\, it looks like the early passage of the Budget Law and other legislative changes have brought few concrete results\, and progress in far behind schedule. In fact\, the Budget Law and associated documents have set in motion some fundamental changes that will redraw the boundary between the state and market\, as well as the state and society. These changes are just starting to be implemented\, though\, and progress will unlikely be linear. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the China Center for Social Policy at Columbia University.

SUMMARY:"Effluent Disposal and Disease Prevention in Modern Japan"
DESCRIPTION:Lecture \n“Effluent Disposal and Disease Prevention in Modern Japan” \nAlexander Bay\, Associate Professor of History\, Chapman University\nModerated by Paul Kreitman\, Assistant Professor of Japanese History\, Columbia University \n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918\nNo registration required.  \nIn the late 19th century\, Japanese doctors built a Western-style public health system aimed at acute infectious diseases like cholera\, dysentery and typhoid fever. While fecal-oral route diseases receive much attention in our historiography\, little has been written on the most important part of disease causation. This presentation examines how public health officials disciplined shit to sanitize both the masses and the environment.  \nDoctors measured the amounts of waste produced by individuals and families to build sanitary septic tank systems. They collected samples from the afflicted and examined feces for bacteria and parasite eggs. Doctors in the metropole evaluated the skills of countryside doctors\, warning that even their skills in checking poo for bacteria or parasite eggs needed policing. The masses were taught how to shit hygienically\, their previous bathroom practices were censored\, and they were told how to properly dispose of their waste. The government legislated human waste collection and disposal standards. Cities built processing and sewer systems to properly treat effluent. Once safe\, shit was recycled to support the rural economy. In short\, doctors made shit knowable and thus controllable across the 20th-century. This is a crucial part of the larger story of sanitizing Japan that has hitherto remained unexplored.
