SUMMARY:Post-film screening discussion with Journey from the Fall film director Ham Tran

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

SUMMARY:"Reporting Asia: Vietnam"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Bill Hayton\, Associate Fellow\, Asia-Pacific Programme\, Chatham House and  Nguyen Phuong Linh\, Southeast Asia Political Analyst\, former Financial Times and Reuters’ Vietnam Correspondent  \nModerated by Lien-Hang Nguyen\, Dorothy Borg Associate Professor in the History of the United States and East Asia\, Department of History \n  \nAbout the Reporting Asia Series \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAsia is in the news. Headlines are dominated by trade wars with China or the possibility of actual war with North Korea. Yet\, even while reasoned and nuanced reportage on Asia is urgently needed\, it has become increasingly difficult to do so. Growing illiberalism in different corners of Asia—from China to the Philippines—generate ever more obstacles to accurate accounting. Accusations of “fake news” are generously bandied about. And shrinking budgets cut ever more deeply in expensive\, overseas positions. Despite this all\, journalists and news correspondents remain committed to delivering responsible and trustworthy news from Asia.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis series features seasoned writers\, editors and journalists who have experience in reporting on different parts of Asia. Together they speak to the new and challenging environment which reporters and observers of Asia face today.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers: \nBill Hayton is the author of The South China Sea: the struggle for power in Asia (Yale\, 2014) and Vietnam: rising dragon (Yale\, 2010) and is currently working on a book about the construction of nationhood in China. He works as a journalist for BBC World News in London. He was the BBC’s reporter in Vietnam in 2006/7 and spent 2013 advising Myanmar’s state broadcaster on reform and restructuring. He recently received a PhD from the University of Cambridge. \n  \nNguyen Phuong Linh\, after nearly 10 years in Vietnam as a local reporter and in Indonesia and the UK as a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times and Reuters\, recently moved to Singapore to work as a political analyst. She writes analyses for her company’s clients on political and regulatory risk issues in Southeast Asia\, focusing on Indonesia\, Myanmar and Vietnam. Linh also provides regular media commentary on political\, economic\, and security topics in Southeast Asia. She holds a master’s of science in Asian politics from University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies. Linh is a co-author of upcoming book “Almost home” (Youth Publishing House\, 2019) featuring young Vietnamese overseas who have been struggling in finding their identity. \n  \nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \nNo Registration Required \nFor any press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King at ak4364@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

SUMMARY:CKR Event: "Heroes and Toilers: Work as Life in Postwar North Korea\, 1953–1961"
DESCRIPTION:A Book Talk hosted by Center for Korean Research \n  \nFeaturing: Cheehyung Harrison Kim\, Assistant Professor\, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa \n  \nIn search of national unity and state control in the decade following the Korean War\, North Korea turned to labor. Mandating rapid industrial growth\, the government stressed order and consistency in everyday life at both work and home. In Heroes and Toilers\, Cheehyung Harrison Kim offers an unprecedented account of life and labor in postwar North Korea that brings together the roles of governance and resistance. \nKim traces the state’s pursuit of progress through industrialism and examines how ordinary people challenged it every step of the way. Even more than coercion or violence\, he argues\, work was crucial to state control. Industrial labor was both mode of production and mode of governance\, characterized by repetitive work\, mass mobilization\, labor heroes\, and the insistence on convergence between living and working. At the same time\, workers challenged and reconfigured state power to accommodate their circumstances—coming late to work\, switching jobs\, fighting with bosses\, and profiting from the black market\, as well as following approved paths to secure their livelihood\, resolve conflict\, and find happiness. Heroes and Toilers is a groundbreaking analysis of postwar North Korea that avoids the pitfalls of exoticism and exceptionalism to offer a new answer to the fundamental question of North Korea’s historical development. \nRegistration not required. \nCo-sponsored by the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures

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

SUMMARY:"The Growth and Development of Chinese NGOs Domestically and Abroad\, and its Implications for International Affairs"
DESCRIPTION:“The Growth and Development of Chinese NGOs Domestically and Abroad\, and its Implications for International Affairs” \nLecture \nReza Hasmath\, Professor\, University of Alberta\nModerator: Yao Lu\, Associate Professor of Sociology \nThursday\, November 15\, 2018\n12:00 PM – 1:30 PM\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \nThis talk first looks at the strategies Chinese NGOs employ domestically to survive and operate in its current environment. It thereafter poses the query – drawing upon fieldwork evidence from Africa and Southeast Asia – what happens when Chinese NGOs that are born and socialized in such a domestic environment\, are now “going out” to other jurisdictions with similar or varying political and economic regime types?  Finally\, the talk will suggest that the hyper-internationalization of Chinese social organizations will foster an equally hyper-pluralized global civil society that will beg us to rethink our understanding of salient precepts and operations in international affairs.
