SUMMARY:Eat the Buddha: Reportage on the Tibetan Plateau
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture with: \nBarbara Demick\, former Beijing bureau chief for the LA Times and currently a Cullman fellow at the New York Public Library \nModerated by: Gray Tuttle\, Leila Hadley Luce Professor of Modern Tibetan Studies\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \nAward-winning journalist Barbara Demick talks about her recent book\, Eat the Buddha\, and discusses the challenges of reporting on the Tibetan Plateau. In her latest book\, she tells the story of the Tibetan town of Ngaba\, one of the first places where the Tibetans and the Chinese Communists encountered one another. In the 1930s\, Mao Zedong’s Red Army fled into the Tibetan plateau to escape their adversaries in the Chinese Civil War. By the time the soldiers reached Ngaba\, they were so hungry that they looted monasteries and ate religious statues made of flour and butter—to Tibetans\, it was as if they were eating the Buddha. Their experiences would make Ngaba one of the engines of Tibetan resistance for decades to come\, culminating in shocking acts of self-immolation. \nBarbara Demick is the former Beijing bureau chief for the LA Times and currently a Cullman fellow at the New York Public Library. Her reporting on North Korea won the Overseas Press Club’s award for human rights reporting as well as awards from the Asia Society and the American Academy of Diplomacy. Her coverage of Sarajevo for The Philadelphia Inquirer won the George Polk Award and the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in international reporting. Her previous book is Logavina Street: Life and Death in a Sarajevo Neighborhood.\nThis event will be conducted via Zoom. Registration required. Please register here.  \nThis event is organized by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and co-sponsored by the Modern Tibetan Studies Program at Columbia University. \n

SUMMARY:Early China Seminar Lecture Series: "Management in Prehistoric China: A Case Study of the Jianghan Plain (6000-4000 BP)"
DESCRIPTION:\nTitle: “Water Management in Prehistoric China: A Case Study of the Jianghan Plain (6000-4000 BP)”\nSpeaker: Jianguo Liu\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\nTime: December 11\, 2020 (8:00-10:00 PM EST)\nPresentation in English; Q&A in English and Chinese\nThe event will be held via Zoom. Please click on “Request Pre-circulated Paper” to register for the event. \nThe Jianghan Plain is located in the middle reach of the Yangtze River in present Hubei Province\, China. From 6000 to 4000 BP\, communities on the Jianghan Plain continuously developed and evolved. They came to be known as the Qujialing and Shijiahe cultures in standard Chinese archaeological literature and are commonly considered to have played an important role in the origin and development of Chinese civilization. In this study\, I employ satellite remote sensing\, low-altitude photography using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)\, 3D reconstruction\, and GIS spatial analysis\, in combination with results from field archaeological investigations and excavations\, to study a cluster of important prehistoric settlements on the Jianghan Plain. Focusing on man-land relationships\, this study hopes to reveal the prehistoric practices of water control and conservation on the Jianghan Plain. Due to the great variations of precipitation in different seasonal and yearly cycles\, the distribution of water resources in the natural environment is extremely uneven on the Jianghan Plain. In order to be able to live and prosper in such environment\, the prehistoric communities must have developed a reasonable amount of knowledge and technologies to transform\, control\, and utilize water resources that maximized benefits and eliminated disadvantages as much as possible. Prehistoric water management was an important part in the development of agriculture in this region. It was also vital to settlement safety and subsistent stability\, which were strong driving forces for sustained population growth\, settlement development\, social stratification\, and continuous evolvement of human civilization \nRequest Pre-circulated Paper\n
