SUMMARY:In the Forest of the Blind: The Eurasian Journey of Faxian's Records of Buddhist Kingdoms
DESCRIPTION:Matthew King is an Associate Professor of Buddhist Studies and Director of Asian Studies at the University of California\, Riverside.  He is also a visiting scholar at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute for 2022-2023. His research examines the social history of knowledge in Buddhist scholastic networks extending across the Tibeto-Mongolian frontiers of the late Qing empire and its revolutionary ruins. Much of his published work has focused on encounters between Buddhist scholasticism\, science\, humanism\, and state socialism in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He is also broadly engaged with methodological revision in the study of religion and Buddhist Studies\, and in revisionist theoretical projects associated with the critical Asian humanities. \nKing’s first book Ocean of Milk\, Ocean of Blood: A Mongolian Monk in the Ruins of the Qing Empire (Columbia University Press\, 2019)\, was awarded the American Academy of Religion Excellence in the Study of Religion: Textual Studies book award\, the Central Eurasian Studies Society’s 2020 Best Book in History and Humanities\, and the International Convention of Asia Scholars Book Prize (Specialist Publication). \nFor more information and to register\, please visit this link. \n

SUMMARY:WEAI Event: The State in the Rise of Fossil-Fueled Developmentalism
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration: \n\nTo register to attend this event in-person\, please register HERE. *CU ID holders only\nTo register to attend this event online\, please register HERE.\n\nSpeaker: Victor Seow\, Assistant Professor of the History of Science\, Harvard University \nModerator: Paul Kreitman\, Assistant Professor of 20th Century Japanese History\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \nHow might a focus on the state deepen our understanding of the origins and challenges of the ongoing climate crisis? In this talk\, I will introduce my recent book\, Carbon Technocracy: Energy Regimes in Modern East Asia (Chicago\, 2021)\, which explores that question through the history of what was once the region’s largest coal mine\, the Fushun colliery. Across the twentieth century\, Fushun changed hands between various Chinese and Japanese states\, each of which endeavored to unearth its purportedly “inexhaustible” carbon resources and employed a range of technoscientific means toward that end. By following the experiences of Chinese and Japanese bureaucrats and planners\, geologists and mining engineers\, and labor contractors and miners\, I uncover the deep links between the raw materiality of the coal face and the corridors of power in Tokyo\, Nanjing\, Beijing\, and beyond and chart how the carbon economy emerged in tandem with the rise of the modern technocratic state. In Fushun’s history\, one is further confronted with hubristic attempts to tame and transform nature through technology\, the misplaced valorization of machines over human beings\, and productivist pursuits that strained both the environment from which coal was extracted and the many workers on whom that extractive process so deeply depended. These were all defining features of the energy regime of what I refer to as “carbon technocracy” and the wider industrial modern world that it helped create. \nThis event is sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nJulie Kwan\njk4371@columbia.edu\n\nREGISTER \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Early China Seminar Lecture Series: “From Gansu to Stockholm: Combining Excavations and Collections to Explore Interregional Interactions in Neolithic Northwestern China”
DESCRIPTION:Early China Seminar Lecture Series \nTitle: “From Gansu to Stockholm: Combining Excavations and Collections to Explore Interregional Interactions in Neolithic Northwestern China”\nSpeaker: Andrew Womack\, Furman University\nTime: October 21\, 2022 (4:30-6:30 PM EST)\nVenue: Faculty House\n*Please check the announcement board in the first floor lobby for room information.\n**Please see Seminar Safety Guidelines for attendance information. \nMore than 2000 years before the development of the historical Silk Road trade routes\, people living in what is now northwestern China were participating in networks that circulated goods and technologies between the Central Asian steppe and eastern China. These included domesticates such as wheat\, barley\, sheep\, and cattle\, as well as technologies including bronze working\, jade carving\, and pyromantic divination. However\, despite more than 100 years of archaeological work in this region\, how and why these networks were formed and functioned on a local scale has remained under-investigated. This talk will draw on two sources for mapping potential interactions: recent petrographic analysis of ceramic vessels from the Tao River Valley of Gansu Province and new work with collections from across northwestern China in the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm\, Sweden. These analyses demonstrate that localized exchange was occurring on a regular basis between settlements in the Tao River Valley\, and potentially across a much wider region. It will also address the benefits and challenges of working with both recently excavated material as well as historic collections. \nFor more information and to register\, please visit this page. \n
