SUMMARY:Collecting and Disseminating Technical Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:\nEarly China Seminar Lecture Series \nTitle: “Collecting and Disseminating Technical Knowledge”\nSpeaker: Rens Krijgsman\, Tsinghua University\nTime: November 19\, 2021 (8:00-10:00 AM EST)\nThe event will be held via Zoom. Please click on “Request Pre-circulated Paper” to register for the event. \nThis paper analyses technical collections for traces of selection processes and how they were used. These collections gradually shifted from individual records and short collections of methods and techniques by named experts\, to larger collections of knowledge and technique in the abstract\, open to a large swathe of the population without the mediation of experts. The selections made by users of these collections reveal their specific interests and the problems they faced in daily life\, providing valuable social insights into the (re-)use of collections more generally. In particular\, this talk focuses on collections used as manuals such as the Shanghai Museum Bushu; collections for storage and reference such as the Tsinghua Zhuci and the Beida Qin slips; mobile prayer collections such as the Daoci and Zhuci zhi dao; and finally some daybook related collections revealing aspects of personal and daily life in the early Empires\, such as those from Zhoujiazhai and Yueshan. \n\nRequest Pre-circulated Paper\n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Photo Poetics: Chinese Lyricism and Modern Media Culture
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed until further notice. \n  \nShengqing Wu\, Professor of Chinese literature\, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology \nModerated by: Ying Qian\, Assistant Professor\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \nChinese poetry has a long history of interaction with the visual arts. Classical aesthetic thought held that painting\, calligraphy\, and poetry were cross-fertilizing and mutually enriching. What happened when the Chinese poetic tradition encountered photography\, a transformative technology and presumably realistic medium that reshaped seeing and representing the world? \nShengqing Wu explores how the new medium of photography was transformed by Chinese aesthetic culture. She details the complex negotiations between poetry and photography in the late Qing and early Republican eras\, examining the ways traditional textual forms collaborated with the new visual culture. Drawing on extensive archival research into illustrated magazines\, poetry collections\, and vintage photographs\, Photo Poetics analyzes a wide range of practices and genres\, including self-representation in portrait photography; gifts of inscribed photographs; mass-media circulation of images of beautiful women; and photography of ghosts\, immortals\, and imagined landscapes. Wu argues that the Chinese lyrical tradition provided rich resources for artistic creativity\, self-expression\, and embodied experience in the face of an increasingly technological and image-oriented society. An interdisciplinary study spanning literary studies\, visual culture\, and media history\, Photo Poetics is an original account of media culture in early twentieth-century China and the formation of Chinese literary and visual modernities. \nThis event is organized by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University. \n\n\nContact Information\nSusan Anthony\nsa4062@columbia.edu\n\n REGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
