SUMMARY:The Wuhan Lockdown
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Guobin Yang is the Grace Lee Boggs Professor of Communication and Sociology at the Annenberg School for Communication and the Department of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania\, where he directs the Center on Digital Culture and Society and serves as deputy director of the Center for the Study of Contemporary China. His previous Columbia University Press books are The Red Guard Generation and Political Activism in China (2016) and The Power of the Internet in China: Citizen Activism Online (2009). \nModerator: Qin Gao\, Professor and Director of China Center for Social Policy\, Columbia School of Social Work \nIn this book talk\, the author tells the dramatic story of the Wuhan lockdown in the voices of the city’s own people. Using a vast archive of more than 6\,000 diaries\, the sociologist Guobin Yang vividly depicts how the city coped during the crisis. He analyzes how the state managed—or mismanaged—the lockdown and explores how Wuhan’s residents responded by taking on increasingly active roles. Yang demonstrates that citizen engagement—whether public action or the civic inaction of staying at home—was essential in the effort to fight the pandemic. \nThe book features compelling stories of citizens and civic groups in their struggle against COVID-19: physicians\, patients\, volunteers\, government officials\, feminist organizers\, social media commentators\, and even aunties loudly swearing at party officials. These snapshots from the lockdown capture China at a critical moment\, revealing the intricacies of politics\, citizenship\, morality\, community\, and digital technology. \nThis event is part of the 2021-2022 lecture series on “COVID-19 Impacts and Responses in China and Beyond” and is co-sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and the China Center for Social Policy. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nSusie Anthony\nsa4062@columbia.edu\n\n REGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Early China Seminar Lecture Series : “Early Chinese Thought via Shijing 詩經”
DESCRIPTION:Early China Seminar Lecture Series \nTitle: “Early Chinese Thought via Shijing 詩經”\nSpeaker: Mick Hunter\, Yale University\nTime: February 11\, 2022 (4:30-6:30 PM EST)\nThe event will be held via Zoom. Please click on “Request Pre-circulated Paper” to register for the event. \nIn The Poetics of Early Chinese Thought: How The Shijing Shaped the Chinese Philosophical Tradition (Columbia UP\, 2021)\, I have argued that scholars and students of early Chinese thought should pay a lot more attention to Shi 詩 poetry. Not only were the Shi the most widely known texts from the Warring States into the early empire\, but they also espouse a more-or-less coherent ideology that had a profound influence on early authors. In this talk\, I will summarize that argument before venturing a Shi-centric reading of the Zhuangzi 莊子\, starting with the leviathan-turned-bird at the opening of chapter one\, “Free-and-easy Wandering.” \n\nRequest Pre-circulated Paper\n\n

SUMMARY:Challenging the ‘Normal’ in Cold War South Korea and Japan .Session A:HIDDEN SPACES: TRAVEL\, MIGRATION\, AND DEVELOPMENT
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese 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 upcoming workshop\, “CHALLENGING THE ‘NORMAL’ IN COLD WAR SOUTH KOREA AND JAPAN\,” will take place over the weekend of 11–13 February 2022. (See below for a detailed schedule.) This final workshop considers the intersections of postcolonial sentiment\, Cold War capitalism\, and cross-border travel in the wake of Japanese imperialism and US military occupation. By examining the circulation of bodies\, goods\, and ideas across national\, regional\, and other types of spatial boundaries\, the three papers seek new ways of understanding the normative configurations of sexual practice\, corporeal embodiment\, and gender performance that helped sustain a superficially stable\, yet deeply fractured\, Cold War order in Northeast Asia. \nPreregistration is required for this event. We particularly invite the participation of scholars whose work focuses on gender and sexuality in East Asia. To register\, please fill out our RSVP form by February 10: \nhttps://forms.gle/z1xbiAYiyDyWfexS6 \nA day or two 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. \nPLEASE NOTE: TIMES ARE IN SEOUL/TOKYO TIME ZONE \nSession A \nHIDDEN SPACES: TRAVEL\, MIGRATION\, AND DEVELOPMENT\nSaturday\, 12 February 2022\, 9:00–11:45 AM\, Seoul/Tokyo time * \nOPENING REMARKS \n9:00–9:10 AM \nGregory M.
