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

SUMMARY:Science and Society in Global Asia Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Science and Society in Global Asia Workshop\nFriday\, April 12 – Saturday\, April 13\, 2019 \nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \nOrganizers\nJohn Chen\, Dongxin Zou \nFaculty Sponsor\nEugenia Lean \nInstitutional Sponsors\nCenter for Science and Society\nDepartment of East Asian Languages and Cultures\nWeatherhead East Asian Institute \n  \nWhat do connected histories of Asia offer science and technology studies (STS)\, and vice versa? How do encounters between heterogeneous and often asymmetrically empowered forms of knowledge push us to rethink the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized\, the modern and the traditional\, and the scientific and the “unscientific”? This workshop will further debates on decentering STS from Western contexts by featuring research that explores the plural\, syncretic\, and globalizing facets of the history of science and society across Asia. Building on a wide range of recent scholarship\, as well as past events at Columbia and elsewhere\, this workshop seeks new conceptual vocabularies that neither fully universalize nor fully provincialize the experiences of “East” or “West\,” but aspire to the genuinely global. \nWorkshop Program \n

SUMMARY:"Garu Lobzang Sherap: A Tibetan Painter at the Qing Court"
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Lecture\nFeaturing:  Tsangwang Gendun Tenpa\, Director and Chief Curator of the Chengdu Dargye Himalayan Art and Culture Museum \nModerated by Gray Tuttle\, Leila Hadley Luce Associate Professor of Modern Tibetan Studies\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures \nDrawing on a range of Tibetan and Chinese historical sources\, as well as images of several important Tibetan thangka paintings\, Gedun Tenpa will discuss the life and artistry of Garu Lobzang Sherap (Sga-ru Blo-bzang-shes-rab)\, a prominent Tibetan thangka painter from Rebgong with close connections to the Kangxi Emperor (1654-1722). Nestled in the Yellow River Valley region of the Sino-Tibetan frontier in present-day Qinghai Province\, Rebgong has long served as a religious and cultural center in the region traditionally known as Amdo. As an influential teacher in the late seventeenth-century\, Garu Lobzang Sherap traveled to both Peking and Lhasa to serve as instructor and for the purpose of propagating his painting techniques. His endeavors must be seen in the context of the spread of the Gelukpa School of Tibetan Buddhism which was also flourishing in this region at the time. In his case study\, the speaker offers evidence for the circulation of material objects and practices vis a vis “knowledge networks” that developed between religious teachers\, medical practitioners\, and artists based in the Sino-Tibetan frontier and their patrons (and students) both in the Manchu Court and in the Lhasa-based Ganden Phodrang Administration. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nTsangwang Gendun Tenpa (Tshangs dbang Dge ’dun bstan pa 苍王•耿登丹巴) is deputy director and chief curator of the Chengdu Dargye Himalayan Art and Culture Museum (Khrun tu’u Hi ma la ya’i rig gnas bshams ston khang 成都大吉喜马拉雅文化艺术博物馆). Trained as a painter\, he has been engaged since 2012 in the research of more than three thousand objects in the Dargye Museum. He is author of several publications\, including a book-length study of the gzi stone\, or Tibetan agate: Gzi dmar: Deng rabs Bod kyi lhug rtsom phyogs sgrig. [Red Agate: A Compilation of Contemporary Tibetan Essays]\, 2018. \n  \nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \nNo registration required.\nFor any press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King at ak4364@columbia.edu

SUMMARY:"Uneven Moments: Reflections on Japan's Modern History"
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Lecture\nBook talk with Harry Harootunian\, Max Palevsky Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Chicago; Professor Emeritus of East Asian studies at New York University; Adjunct Senior Research Scholar at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, Columbia University \nin dialogue with: Laura Neitzel\, Academic Director for the Committee on Global Thought \nModerated by Carol Gluck\, George Sansom Professor of History\, Columbia University  \nFew scholars have done more than Harry Harootunian to shape the study of modern Japan. Incorporating Marxist critical perspectives on history and theoretically informed insights\, his scholarship has been vitally important for the world of Asian studies. Uneven Moments presents a selection of Harootunian’s essays on Japan’s intellectual and cultural history from the late Tokugawa period to the present that span the many phases of his distinguished career and point to new directions for Japanese studies.\n\nUneven Moments begins with reflections on area studies as an academic field and how we go about studying a region. It then moves into discussions of key topics in modern Japanese history. Harootunian considers Japan’s fateful encounter with capitalist modernity and the implications of uneven development\, examining the combinations of older practices with new demands that characterized the twentieth century. The book examines the making of modern Japan\, the transformations of everyday life\, and the collision between the production of forms of cultural expression and new political possibilities. Finally\, Harootunian analyzes Japanese political identity and its forms of reckoning with the past. Exploring the shifting relationship among culture\, the making of meaning\, and politics in rich reflections on Marxism and critical theory\, Uneven Moments presents Harootunian’s intellectual trajectory and in so doing offers a unique assessment of Japanese history.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nHarry Harootunian is Max Palevsky Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Chicago\, professor emeritus of East Asian studies at New York University\, and adjunct senior research scholar at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, Columbia University. His books include History’s Disquiet: Modernity\, Cultural Practice\, and The Question of Everyday Life (Columbia\, 2000) and Marx After Marx: History and Time in the Expansion of Capitalism (Columbia\, 2015).\n\nFor more about the book\, visit the Columbia University Press website.\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918\nNo Registration Required\nFor any press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King at ak4364@columbia.edu

SUMMARY:Post-film screening discussion with Journey from the Fall film director Ham Tran
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Discussion\nFeaturing: Ham Tran\, Filmmaker and Director\n\nModerated by: Lien-Hang Nguyen\, Dorothy Borg Associate Professor in the History of the United States and East Asia \n\nHam Tran is a celebrated Vietnamese-American film director\, known especially for his 2007 film about a family’s divided escape from the fall of Saigon in 1975 entitled Journey from the Fall(Viet.

The film is one of the only cinematic representations of the plight of boat refugees following the fall of South Vietnam to Communist forces\, and virtually the only film to represent inmate experiences of the “reeducation camps” (học tập cảo tạo/cảo tạo lao động) that were opened particularly in the south of Vietnam after 1975\, and which operated as late as the early 2000s. Additionally\, the film is notable for having been completely financed by the Vietnamese exile community. \nLunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:"Constitutional Reform in Japan: Prospects\, Process\, and Implications"
DESCRIPTION:Conference\n  \nOn September 20\, 2018\, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe overwhelmingly won re-election as leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (LDP)\, putting him on track to be Japan’s longest-serving prime minister and reviving his desire to place constitutional reforms on the domestic political agenda.  The Japanese constitution has not been amended during the 70-plus years since its adoption\, yet has been a subject of debate almost from the moment of the document’s inception — a debate that has gained momentum in recent years in light of Japan’s changing role within the shifting global security landscape. \nThis conference will address three aspects of constitutional reform in Japan: (i) the domestic political landscape; (ii) comparative legal perspectives drawing on the experiences of other countries; and (iii) implications of change from political\, strategic and social viewpoints. \n  \nColumbia Law School\, Drampkin Lounge (3rd Floor) \nClick here to register for this event \n  \n  \nAGENDA \n10:00 – 10:15:      Registration \n10:15 – 10:20:     Welcome \nNobuhisa Ishizuka\, Executive Director\, Center for Japanese Legal Studies\, Columbia Law School \n10:20 – 10:30:     Opening Remarks \nSheila Smith\, Senior Fellow for Japan Studies\, Council on Foreign Relations \n10:30 – 12:00:     Panel 1:  Domestic Political Landscape \nTakako Hikotani\, Gerald L.

SUMMARY:"Transforming Empire in Japan and East Asia: The Taiwan Expedition and the Birth of Japanese Imperialism"
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Lecture\nBook talk with Robert Eskildsen\, Senior Associate Professor in the Department of History at International Christian University\, Tokyo \nModerated by: Gregory Pflugfelder\, Associate Professor of Japanese History\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and Department of History\, Columbia University \nIn the spring of 1874 the Japanese government sent an expedition to southern Taiwan ostensibly to punish indigenous villagers who had murdered dozens of people from Ryūkyū. Contemporary records show that the Japanese government also attempted to colonize eastern Taiwan and it justified its actions using the argument that a state must spread civilization and political authority to territories where it claimed sovereignty. The expedition took place in the context of the unequal treaty system in East Asia and during the contentious early years the Meiji period\, and it shows how Japan’s new foreign policy stance in the 1870s combined elements taken from Western imperialism with revolutionary changes in Japan after the Meiji Restoration (1868). The new foreign policy stance spread the effects of the Restoration beyond Japan and accelerated the disruption of dynastic power in East Asia. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: Robert Eskildsen is a Senior Associate Professor in the Department of History at International Christian University\, Tokyo. He received a PhD in modern Japanese history from Stanford University in 1998. He has published articles on the topic in the American Historical Review and The Journal of Asian Studies\, and his book\, Transforming Empire in Japan and East Asia: The Taiwan Expedition and the Birth of Japanese Imperialism\, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2019. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture at Columbia University. \n  \nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n\nNo registration required. \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King  ak4364@columbia.edu

SUMMARY:CKR Event: “Soldiers-Turned-Laborers/Guards: Buddhist Monks in Chosŏn Korea at the Turn of the Sixteenth Century”
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium\n  \nFeaturing: Nam-lin Hur\, The University of British Columbia\nModerated by: Michael Como\, Columbia University \nBuddhism in Late Chosŏn fared far better compared to that to the end of the sixteenth century. 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

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

Starr Library\, Donald Keene Center for Japanese Studies; Film and Media Studies\, School of the Arts; Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought; Program in Chinese Literature and Culture\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures; Institute for Comparative Literature & Society; Permanent Seminar on Histories of Film Theories \nAbstract: \nHow have Leftist traditions inspired film and media theories across the world\, and what can we learn from these traditions today as we explore new methodologies in film and media studies and new political possibilities in the contemporary world? \nMarxist theory has been considered a major influence on film and media theories in Europe and North America\, from the critical theory of the Frankfurt School\, the theories of Althusser\, to the Birmingham School of Cultural Studies.  Moving away from these more familiar stories in Europe and North America\, this conference takes East Asia as a focal point to investigate “Leftism” as changing\, plural and contested positions in theory and politics that have tied emerging mass media forms to revolutionary upheavals and anti-imperial struggles in the region and beyond. \nAt the conference\, we use “media” in the broadest sense of the term\, including print\, photography\, film\, animation\, contemporary digital new media and more. We problematize “film and media theory” and its locations\, excavating theory within the specific contexts of practice and criticism in East Asia.  Situating East Asia within broader transnational circuits of travel\, translation\, and transformation\, we ask how Leftist ideas have entered into other discourses such as anti-imperialism\, nationalism\, populism\, statism\, and developmentalism\, and how such imbrications have impacted aesthetic theories as well as political\, economic and social formations in the region.

SUMMARY:"Vietnam and China in the Longue Durée"
DESCRIPTION:International Symposium\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn recent times\, China’s interests and actions in Southeast Asia have become increasingly representative of a global economic and political agenda\, interwoven with economic campaigns in Africa\, and diplomatic relations with Europe and the United States.  In this complicated negotiation\, Vietnam has emerged as a crucial pivot between the modern Sinosphere and the ASEAN nations\, while the area around Vietnam and the South China Sea has emerged as a cultural\, political\, economic\, and military fault-line between China and Southeast Asia.  This is seen not only in the hot contestation of the Trường Sa/Hoàng Sa islands of the South China Sea but also in the recent eruption of protests over “special economic zones” reserved for Chinese investors in various parts of Vietnam.  Furthermore\, Vietnam’s membership in the ASEAN counterbalance to China is also complicated by the ongoing and complex relationship between the Communist parties of the SRV and PRC—a relationship that has evolved rapidly\, as each government negotiates normalized international relations and the opening up of markets in a post-Cold War global arena. \nAnd yet\, from the longer historical perspective\, it becomes immediately clear that the South China Sea and northern Vietnam has long served as a gateway between Sinitic political entities\, and the cultures\, polities\, markets\, and shipping lanes of Southeast Asia.  Indeed\, for over a thousand years\, northern Vietnam represented the southernmost perimeter of the Sinitic Empires. Following the emergence of independent kingship in the 11th century\, Vietnamese kingdoms continued to negotiate China’s massive presence on their northern border\, along with the economic\, political\, and cultural diversity of Southeast Asia to the south. This rich and complex history has filtered through a deeply nationalistic atmosphere\, and crystallized into powerful cultural narratives regarding the relationship between China and Vietnam—but which nevertheless are often deeply historically inaccurate.  Narratives describing the innate imperialist aggression of China\, the ancient resistance of Vietnamese peoples against such aggression\, the idea of a sharp cultural break between Sinospheric nation-states and the Indianized or Islamicized nations of Southeast Asia\, or indeed\, the very integrity of East and Southeast Asia as regional categories—have all been enlisted to explain the nuances of China/Southeast Asian relations.  Yet these formulations are too often vague\, imprecise\, and teleological in nature.  Such attempts to understand the multidimensionality of Sino-Vietnamese relations have suffered\, in other words\, from the lack of a clear\, rigorous\, and unified investigation into that very relationship. \nTo address these issues\, our symposium examines the dynamic relationship between China and Vietnam\, beginning in the imperial period and culminating in a special panel on contemporary Sino-Vietnamese affairs.  We seek to interrogate the influence of modern nation-state paradigms on our understanding of the ancient\, medieval\, early modern\, and recent past\, as well as scrutinize the nature of “China” and “Vietnam” throughout this long history. Our goal is not only to examine what cultural\, political\, economic\, or social tissue may connect various stages of history to the present\, but also to determine what disconnections\, disruptions\, and discontinuities we may discover within that long history. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganized by John Phan & Lien-Hang Nguyen\n\n\n1501 International Affairs Building\, Columbia University\n\n\nPlease find a tentative schedule and more information here.\n\nIf you are able to join us\, please RSVP through our website here\n\n\n\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Weatherhead East Asian Institute and Columbia University’s Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures
