Rubbings
Deep black and beautifully textured, the contemporary Chinese rubbings in this exhibition record distant places and ancient times. By pressing paper onto stone monuments and inking it, the Chinese were able to make copies of important documents before the invention of printing. The process, called rubbing or squeezing remained important after the advent of printing because of its association with authority and the past. Later they were collected as accurate reproductions of ancient calligraphy and artwork.

A 30-Year Harvest: Personal Reflections on U.S.-China Relations: Professor Vera Schwarcz, The Mansfield Freeman Chair of East Asian Studies, Director of the FEAS Center, Professor of History, Wesleyan University
As a member of the very first group of official exchange scholars to arrive in China on February 23rd, 1979, Vera Schwarcz has been in a unique position to observe the evolution of American relations with China over the past three decades. Schwarczs scholarly research on student movements for science and democracy has repeatedly placed her at the center of public demonstrations and commemorations in 1979, 1989, 1999, and 2009. While building East Asian studies at Wesleyan, Professor Schwarcz has also maintained an active dialogue with Chinese intellectuals in all walks of life, bridging the distance between Beijing and Middletown through more than 20 visits, dozens of lectures, and eight books. This talk represents the culmination of a 30-year journey toward cross-cultural understanding.

Time and Freedom in Asian Film:Tony Day, Visiting Professor, Wesleyan University, History Department
Making and viewing films have a history in Asia that stretches back to the early 20th century. Since the 1980s, but particularly in the last 10 years or so, films have become the vehicles for powerful artistic statements about the struggle for freedom in Asian societies. In this talk, Professor Day will focus on the representation of time and freedom in four rather different movies that received wide acclaim: Sepet (Slant-Eye, 2004, Malaysia); Mua He Chieu Thang Dung (The Vertical Ray of the Sun, 2000, France/Vietnam); Sud Pralad (Tropical Malady, 2004, Thailand); and Hao Nan Hao Nu (Good Men, Good Women, 1995, Taiwan).

FILM Screening: Misunderstanding China
MISUNDERSTANDING CHINA:
Film Screening and Discussion with Prof. Vera Schwarcz
MONDAY 2/16/9 @ 4:30PM FEAS CENTER SEMINAR ROOM
Misunderstanding China is a CBS film that was shown to the American public on the day before Nixon historic visit to China. Although the movie is about China, the themes of orientalism and imagining the other are important for all individuals of Asian descent. The film is incredible in its honesty and important because it frames the western tendency to orientalize and eroticize Asian culture, which affects the ways in which Americans are perceived in this country. This film isolates and defines the most persistent images of China in the west and follows its evolution throughout American history.

The Silk Road: Land and Sea: Michael Yamashita, Photographer National Geographic
Having traveled the world for National Geographic for the past 25 years, Michael Yamashita has a special affinity for fellow travelers. That is why he was drawn to his two most recent story subjects, Marco Polo and Zheng He. Covering Marco Polo, the first of this trailblazing pair, took him back to the late 13th century, venturing from west to east. And 100 years later, Zheng Hes enormous fleet of treasure ships returned to China with knowledge of the customs and traditions of other civilizations, obtained through peaceful and mutually beneficial means. Both men were modern thinkers, far ahead of their times. Marco Polo described the wonders of a spectacularly wealthy, advanced, and prosperous people living on the other side of the world. And Zheng He proved that commerce and international exchange could be accomplished without conquest or domination, to the betterment of all.
It is Michael Yamashitas good fortune, perhaps his own legacy, to be given the opportunity to bring these giants of world exploration to a 21st-century audience.

A GUEST AT HOME: A PHOTOGRAPHIC ESSAY AND CONVERSATION WITH ANDY ZHOU, FREEMAN SCHOLAR
Born in the remote province of Ningxia, Freeman Scholar Andy Youlieguo Zhou, brings an utterly fresh perspective to his research, art, Wesleyan life and China travels. His journey back "home" during December-January (2008-2009) resulted in a photographic essay that reveals many unknown aspects of life in China today. Simple, startling details reveal the challenges faced by a foreign-educated artist-student returning to native grounds on which he is both a familiar figure and a guest to be observed. During this presentation, the audience will be able to partake of this journey visually as well as to hear reflections from the "guest" himself about a predicament that ancient Chinese poets described with grace--- and one, which is also familiar to other travelers who have to re-define the meanings of "home."

Eating Bitterness: The Failure of Maternalist Reform in the Great Leap Famine: Kimberley Manning, Political Science Department, Concordia University, Montreal
During the 1950s, a coalition of senior women leaders sought to radically reform the health and living standards of rural Chinese women and their children. By developing and drawing on a set of interlocking organizations, including the All China Womens Federation, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Justice, this coalition of maternalist reformers reduced maternal and infant mortality rates, inoculated hundreds of thousands of children against many infectious diseases, eliminated the practice of child brides, and, during the Great Leap Forward, oversaw the development of year-round day care for the children of agricultural workers. The rapid and remarkable success of maternalist reform, however, would become overshadowed by the famine of 19591961. This talk evaluates the effectiveness of social welfare reform within an authoritarian regime. While the CCPs authoritarian regime enabled maternal reformers to achieve some remarkable successes, it ultimately prevented the CCP elite, including maternal reformers, from facing and ameliorating the greatest threat to face rural women and children in the Mao era: famine.

EXHIBITION:China Balancing the Changes: Photographs by Sharon Crain
Sharon Crain's photographs of China present a personal view of the changes she has seen since her first visit in 1977. Her respect for Chinese people and her desire to learn and, if possible to help, led her to develop a deep sympathy and understanding for local culture which comes through in these images. Her photographs document the changes she witnessed: from blue padded suits to high fashion, from seven-to-a-room dorms to Internet access, from squads of steel Flying Pigeon bicycles to the rush of sleek Audi sedans, and from clay stove noodle shops to stainless steel grill western fast food. The exhibition is part of the Center for East Asian Studies' commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the re-establishment of diplomatic relations between the U. S. and China.

"Behind Bars and Backstage in China: The Extraordinary Life of Ying Ruocheng"
Claire Conceison,'87 Associate Professor, Department of Drama at Tufts University
Ying Ruocheng (1929-2003) was a renowned Chinese actor of stage and film, collaborating with Arthur Miller on "Death of a Salesman" in Beijing and featured in Bertolucci's films "The Last Emperor and Little Buddha". Often called China's cultural ambassador because of his fluent English and efforts as a cultural bridge between China and the West, he held the high-level government rank of Vice Minister of Culture in the years leading up to and during events in Tiananmen Square in 1989. These experiences, as well as his Manchu Catholic family background and his three years in prison during the Cultural Revolution, afforded him a unique perspective on Chinese culture and politics. Wesleyan alumna Claire Conceison collaborated with Ying Ruocheng on "Voices Carry", his autobiography before his death, and returns to campus to present a narrative and visual account of his unusual story.

My Camera Doesn't Lie: New Chinese Documentary Film Series: Xinyu Lu|, Professor and Chair of the Broadcasting Department, School of Journalism, Fudan University
The New Documentary Film Movement has emerged as an important medium by which to examine some of the social, political, and historical disjunctions in contemporary China. In fact, the films can be seen as integral parts of those social developments and also as part of a historical movement. In these filmmaker's search for a new "reality," their work became radically different from older styles in terms of topic, concept, and aesthetics and at the same time emerged as a shared style. The significance of the New Documentary Film Movement lies in the activist engagement of the filmmakers with the emotional and living conditions of Chinese people in all walks of life in contemporary China.

Stalin's Eurasian Balance and the Coming of Cold War: David Wolff, Professor of Eurasian History, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Harvard University
From 1944 to 1953, Joseph Stalin was the most powerful man in the world. A recent project spearheaded by the Cold War International History Project has collected more than 200 stenograms of conversations he held with leaders, both socialist and capitalist, to reveal new facets of his global policy, harsh methods, and dark humor. East Asia, it turns out, was more central to his strategic vision than previous accounts have claimed. Failure in Japan, success in China, and aggression in Korea led step by step to a Cold War that would last for decades.

Full Metal Apache: On the Post-Cyborgian Identity of Japanoids: Tatsumi Takayuki, English Department, Keio University, Tokyo, Japan
In the mid-1980s Donna Haraway said, "We are all cyborgs." In this new century, Takayuki Tatsumi displaces her assumption by saying, "We are all Japanoids." Since the new turn of the century, we have plunged into mostly chaotic and trans-culturally infectious negotiations between Orientalism and Occidentalism. You might be amazed to see how and where anything and all things can happen simultaneously. Overcoming and exceeding colonialist imperialist intent, the post-cyberpunk and globalist milieu we inhabit will undoubtedly precipitate a reconsideration of the creative masochism of postwar Japanese intellectual history. Further developing the provocative literary and cultural theory clarified in his book Full Metal Apache: Transactions Between Cyberpunk Japan and Avant-Pop America (Duke University Press, 2006), Takayuki Tatsumi provides a rereading of literary texts and cinematic works.

Bringing What We Know About China to the Social Sciences: Fieldwork, Research Re(Design) and Theory Building: Kevin O'Brien, Alann P. Bedford Professor of Asian Studies and Professor of Political Science
Professor O'Brien's talk sketches an approach to research in China that hinges on staying open to unforeseen ideas (and even new topics of inquiry) that emerge in the course of interviewing. He will use his own study of local people's congresses in the 1990s (as well as examples drawn from his more recent work on village elections, policy implementation and popular resistance) to illustrate how one young fieldworker found his way toward a type of research that aims to speak both to China scholars and disciplinary audiences.
This approach encourages us to shop for existing theories and concepts before and after we head to the field, especially when doing interviews in a place like China, where our preconceived notions have led us to miss the real question or imagine a dilemma that does not exist. Professor O'Brien highlights the subjective experience of interviewees and argues against shoe-horning evidence into "ill-fitting a priori categories" (Gerring, 2001) to be just about the greatest sin imaginable.

Issues in China's Contemporary Pop Music Studies (1986-1992)
Since 1978, with the implementation of the Reform and Open Door policy, significant changes have taken place in China's society and culture. An important cultural form, China's contemporary pop (CCP) has flourished and become an important component of today's popular culture. In its near thirty years of evolvement, CCP has moved from its initial marginalized statues to become an active part of the cultural mainstream, and the most influential music culture in China's society. The talk will discuss the different periods in CCP's history, focusing on the periods between 1986 to 1992. It will demonstrate the interactive dynamics between CCP and its social-cultural environment, as well as explore the characteristics of their relationships.

When You Think It's Bad, It's Worse Than You Think: Confucian Ethics and the Benefit of a Doubt
We often find ourselves thinking of others as boring, nauseating, dim, dodgy, clumsy, or otherwise irritating or unpleasant. What's the right thing to do when we have such thoughts? Some philosophers argue we ought to be civil and conceal them, lest others pick up on them and feel disrespected. Drawing on experimental psychology and classical Confucianism, Sarkissian will argue otherwise, suggesting that we ought to (literally) doubt such appraisals and be wary of their veracity.

Understanding Buddhism through the Arts
This illustrated presentation will trace the development of Buddhist philosophy from its Indian origins to the present day. While the basic teachings of Buddhism appear to become more complex over time, carefully observing the art can bring a clearer understanding of the continuing concepts and message. Art spanning nearly two thousand years have been selected as a bridge to the present exhibition.

Little National Subjects and Wartime Reading Practice
The popular fiction published in Japan during the late 1930s and early 1940s has been believed to possess little critical value, and is often linked with complicity in the war effort. However, closer examination of literary texts shows the creativity and independence of these readers, especially young boys, then grouped as sho kokumin (little national subjects).

Site Fights: How Industrialized Democracies Handle Unwanted Projects?
One of the most vexing problems for governments is building controversial facilities that serve the needs of all citizens but have adverse consequences for host communities. When protests arise over nuclear power plants, dams, and airports, agencies regularly rely on the coercive powers of the modern state. Drawing upon fieldwork and interviews with bureaucrats and activists, this lecture illuminates key case studies from Japan, France, and the United States.

Violent Democracy: Ruffians in Modern Japanese Politics:
This lecture focuses on the soshi who emerged on Japan's political stage in the early 1880s as political activists who championed the causes of freedom and people's rights. But by the end of the decade, they were less liberal and more professional, "yakuza-like' ruffians as who wanted to make some money by wielding violence for those who sought to influence state policy. The talk will explore both the process political violence as well as the vitality of democracy in Japan.

Eunuchs and Rulership in Late Imperial China:
Eunuchs, castrated male servants of the ruler and his family, were a prominent feature of Chinese court life. At times, some eunuchs became extremely powerful, eclipsing high level officials and even, in one case, the emperor himself. Using fresh sources that include Imperial Household documents, stele inscriptions, and published miscellanies, Kutcher will explore the complexities of the eunuch-emperor relationship.

Border Crossing and the Woman Writer: The Case of Gui Maoyi (1762-1835)
Gui Maoyi was from Changshu and was a descendant of famed essayist Gui Youguang (1507-71). She studied poetry with her father and made the acquaintance of other women poets of her time. Gui's educational background and talent for poetry led her in 1798 to become a disciple of the famed Yuan Mei (1716-98). Toward the end of her life her reputation grew well beyond her own social circle. There are several records of highly successful gentlemen traveling to make her acquaintance in Shanghai. A few of these helped support her during her final years. This lecture focuses upon the transition that Gui made from being Yuan Mei's disciple to becoming a self-supporting writer. She went from being a typically cloistered gentlewoman to a woman well known in her time.

Dangerous Companions: Cultural Cross-Dressing in Colonial Manchuria
How dangerous is it to wear the clothing of another culture? Focusing on Imamura Eiji's short story "Companions" (Dtktsha, 1938), this talk will explore representations of Japanese and colonized subjects in colonial Manchuria attempting to "pass" as cultural others. While each of these characters tries to conceal his cultural identity through clothing, the effects of their cross-dressing differ because of their positions within colonial hierarchy. Kono will argue that these instances of cultural cross-dressing ultimately underscore the destabilizing effects of colonial assimilation policy, reveal the fragility of cultural identity and potentially pose a threat to both its participants and the colonial project.
