SUMMARY:Dai-Ōji: The Ōji Paper Company and the Politics of Pulp in Asia
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture: \nDai-Ōji: The Ōji Paper Company and the Politics of Pulp in Asia  \nDavid Fedman\, Assistant Professor modern Japanese history at the University of California\, Irvine \nModerated by: Paul Kreitman\, Assistant Professor of Japanese History\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \nDavid Fedman’s recent monograph\, Seed of Control: Japan’s Empire of Forestry in Colonial Korea (University of Washington Press\, 2020) explores how Japanese colonial rule in Korea (1905–1945) ushered in natural resource management programs that profoundly altered access to and ownership of the peninsula’s extensive mountains and forests. Under the banner of “forest love\,” the colonial government set out to restructure the rhythms and routines of agrarian life\, targeting everything from home heating to food preparation. Timber industrialists\, meanwhile\, channeled Korea’s forest resources into supply chains that grew in tandem with Japan’s imperial sphere. These mechanisms of resource control were only fortified after 1937\, when the peninsula and its forests were mobilized for total war. \nSponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute \nOnline via Zoom. Registration information will be provided soon. \n

SUMMARY:Early China Seminar Lecture Series | Charting the Early Chinese Oikumene: Min Li
DESCRIPTION:Early China Seminar Lecture Series \nTitle: “Charting the Early Chinese Oikumene”\nSpeaker: Min Li\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nTime: February 19\, 2021 (4:30–6:30pm EST)\nThe event will be held via Zoom. Please click on “Request Pre-circulated Paper” to register for the event. \nYugong (Tributes of the Great Yu) presents an influential conceptual framework of ordering the early Chinese oikumene. Taking the Jinnan Basin as the center of its worldview\, the text presents a nonary division of the civilized world known as the Yu’s Tracks\, where the legendary figure allegedly toured and drained flood water at the end of the third millennium BCE. With an inventory of tribute goods and an outline of tribute routes for each region\, the text aims at making the landscape legible and subject to political control\, thus becoming an integral component for the ideology of kingship and empire by the late first millennium BCE.    \nBased on the analyses of grammatical patterns and the geographic configuration in transmitted and excavated texts\, this seminar will evaluate two alternative hypotheses about the date\, purpose\, and sponsorship for the creation of this ideological topography: a deeply rooted prehistoric religious tradition emerging from a ritual performance of space vs. a recent political myth invented in the fourth century BCE to project imperial ambition.  Variation and commonality observed in these texts suggests multiple strands of transmission and shared cultural assumptions\, indicating that this notion of a Chinese oikumene had become the cornerstone of Zhou classical learning. This study calls for a significant expansion in the temporal and spatial frames for investigating the genealogy of knowledge in the Yugong tradition based on a critical understanding of the shifting archaeological landscape in Bronze Age China. \nAll Meetings will be on Friday\, 4:30-6:30PM\, unless otherwise noted\, open to members\, affiliates\, and graduate students. \nDue to the extraordinary circumstances of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic\, we have decided to move the seminars online for  2020-2021.  All seminars will be hosted via Zoom on Fridays\, but the start and end times may vary due to time differences of the speaker.  \nRequest Pre-Circulated Paper. \n

SUMMARY:Queering the Straits: Unruly Subjects Across Modern Korean and Japanese Studies
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the first in a series of three Zoom workshops on the theme of “QUEERING THE STRAITS: UNRULY SUBJECTS ACROSS MODERN KOREAN AND JAPANESE STUDIES” to be held in 2021. These workshops are intended to facilitate greater communication and collaboration among scholars of Japan and Korea who work on issues of gender and sexuality\, often in isolation from one another. We believe that such “queer” dialogues across borders and cultures offer a challenging yet vital opportunity to forge new intellectual and institutional bonds at a time when powerful forces continue to silence\, erase\, and marginalize seemingly minor subjects and their important points of view. \nThe first workshop of the series\, “REMEMBERING THE ‘MODERN BOY’: GENDER\, EMPIRE\, AND NOSTALGIA\,” will take place over the weekend of 19–21 February 2021. (See below for a detailed schedule.) The initial workshop offers a context for tracing the normative operations of gender across the past century of Korean and Japanese history by examining contending formations not of homosexual but of heterosexual masculinity. It focuses on the figure of the “modern boy” (known locally by such names as modan bōi\, modŏn ppoi\, and mobo)\, a prominent challenger to early twentieth-century codes of orthodox masculinity and a ubiquitous presence in stereotypical depictions of imperial Japan and colonial Korea alike. Compared to such female contemporaries as the “modern girl” and “new woman\,” this conspicuous male performer of non-normative gender remains remarkably understudied\, a silence that the present workshop seeks to explain as well as to fill. A panel of five speakers and six distinguished commenters will approach the “modern boy” from a variety of chronological and disciplinary perspectives\, addressing such questions as the role of mass media in circulating gender stereotypes\, the isomorphisms and asymmetries of gender hegemony and state power\, and the functions of colonial nostalgia. \nPreregistration is required for this event. We particularly invite the participation of scholars whose work focuses on gender and sexuality in East Asia. Subsequent workshops will address the themes of “Cross-Strait Cultures: Performance\, Media\, and History” (April 2021) and “Development and Desire Across Uneven Spaces” (Fall 2021). \nA few days before the start of the workshop\, we will send an email to all registered participants with a link to the event. If you have any questions or trouble with registration\, please email us at queeringthestraits@gmail.com. \nCo-sponsored by the Academy of Korean Studies\, Seoul\, Korea; Columbia Alumni Association\, Korea; the Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture (Columbia); the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures (Columbia); the Hajime Mori Chair in Japanese Language and Literature at the University of California\, San Diego; Transnational Korean Studies (UCSD); and the Weatherhead East Asian Institute (Columbia). \n
