SUMMARY:Gordon Matthews\, "The World in Guangzhou: Africans and Other Foreigners in South China's Global Marketplace"
DESCRIPTION:Join us THURSDAY (5/13/2021) at 8PM-9:30PM (PST) to hear from Professor Gordon Mathews (Anthropology\, Chinese University of Hong Kong) about his recent publication The World in Guangzhou: Africans and Other Foreigners in South China’s Global Marketplace.\n\n\nJoin us via Zoom: http://bit.ly/EACTalks (Zoom ID: 925 5728 2471)\n\nABSTRACT: Only decades ago\, the population of Guangzhou was almost wholly Chinese. Today\, it is a truly global city\, a place where people from around the world go to make new lives\, find themselves\, or further their careers. A large number of these migrants are small-scale traders from Africa who deal in Chinese goods – often knockoffs or copies of high-end branded items – to send back to their home countries. In The World in Guangzhou\, Gordon Mathews explores the question of how the city became a center of “low-end globalization” and shows what we can learn from that experience about similar transformations elsewhere in the world.\nThrough detailed ethnographic portraits\, Mathews reveals a world of globalization based on informality\, reputation\, and trust rather than on formal contracts. How\, he asks\, can such informal relationships emerge between two groups – Chinese and sub-Saharan Africans – that don’t share a common language\, culture\, or religion? And what happens when Africans move beyond their status as temporary residents and begin to put down roots and establish families? \nFull of unforgettable characters\, The World in Guangzhou presents a compelling account of globalization at ground level and offers a look into the future of urban life as transnational connections continue to remake cities around the world. \nSPEAKER: Prof. Gordon Mathews has written or edited books about what makes life worth living in Japan and the United States\, about the global cultural supermarket and the meanings of culture today\, about the Japanese generation gap\, about what it means to “belong to a nation” in Hong Kong and elsewhere\, about how different societies conceive of happiness\, about Chungking Mansions as a global building\, and about low-end globalization around the world. Recently\, he has written papers on anthropology in East Asia\, on happiness and neoliberalism in Japan\, and on how to smuggle goods past customs in China. \nCo-sponsored by the East Asia Center and the UCSB Confucius Institute.

SUMMARY:Kelly Hammond\, "Supporting the Faith\, Building the Empire: Imperial Japan's Islamic Policies in World War II"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will examine some of the ways that the Japanese Empire curried favors to Muslims in China\, and later throughout East Asia\, in the lead up to and throughout World War II. Drawing on examples from my recent book\, China’s Muslims and Japan’s Empire: Centering Islam in World War II\, the talk will present viewers with concrete policies and explore some of the ways that the Japanese Government envisioned themselves as the benevolent protectors of Islam while at the same time advancing their imperial\, expansionist visions. For their part\, Muslims from around the colonial world found the anti-western and anti-Soviet rhetoric expounded by the Japanese Empire appealing to a certain extent. By placing Muslims at the center of Japan’s imperial ambitions\, it becomes clear that their visions for empire went far beyond what we would now consider to be the geographic boundaries of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere into predominantly Islamic spaces like Central Asia\, the Middle East\, and North Africa. \nJOIN US FOR A LIVE TALK AND Q&A\nWEDNESDAY\, APRIL 21 4PM TO 5:30PM (PST)\nZoom: http://bit.ly/EACTalks\nZoom ID: 925 5728 2471 \nSPEAKER: Kelly Hammond is an Assistant Professor of East Asian history at the University of Arkansas. Her recent work has been supported by the ACLS/Luce Foundation\, the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation\, and the Kluge Center at the Library of Congress. She is an associate editor for the Journal of Asian Studies.

SUMMARY:Taiwan Makes History I: The Gender of Empire
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first event in the Center for Taiwan Studies three-part panel series Taiwan Makes History on “The Gender of Empire\,” guest directed and moderated by Kirsten Ziomek (Adelphi University)!\n\n \n\nWe will welcome historians Fang Yu Hu (University of Tennessee at Chattanooga)\, Tadashi Ishikawa (University of Central Florida)\, and Sayaka Chatani (National University of Singapore) to discuss how the lens of gender can change our understanding of the Taiwanese colonial research. The panelists will introduce their current research on how the Japanese colonial government in Taiwan attempted to shape and create gender norms and practices. They will discuss methodologies for uncovering how Taiwanese men and women mediated\, responded and contested idealized norms and forged their own paths. What were the competing notions of Taiwanese femininity and masculinity circulating at this time? What larger conclusions can be drawn about the experience of the Taiwanese versus other colonial peoples throughout the Japanese empire and beyond?\n\n \n\nDate: Tuesday\, April 13th\, 2021\nTime: 4-5 PM PST\nZoom link: http://bit.ly/TaiwanTalks

SUMMARY:Creating Virtual Reality in 18th-Century Chinese Painting and Prints by Dr. Kristina Kleughten
DESCRIPTION:“Creating Virtual Reality in 18th-Century Chinese Painting and Prints”\nTuesday\, March 9\, 2021    2:00pm (PST)\ntinyurl.com/VRin18thC (Zoom: 846 6268 232)\n\nVirtual reality was an essential component of eighteenth-century Chinese art\, particularly in paintings and prints that evolved out of the artistic and cultural exchanges between China and Europe. These works created visions of extended realities for both imperial and popular consumption. Although on the surface they seem to have little in common\, when we examine them side-by-side\, we find a shared fascination at opposite ends of the social spectrum with transforming two-dimensional works of art into three-dimensional multisensory experiences.\n\nKristina Kleutghen (Harvard PhD) is the David W. Mesker Associate Professor of Art History at Washington University in St. Louis and a specialist in Chinese art\, particularly of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Focusing on early modern\, modern\, and contemporary Chinese art\, her research investigates Sino-foreign interaction\, the imperial court\, optical devices\, and connections to science and mathematics. Professor Kleutghen’s first book\, Imperial Illusions: Crossing Pictorial Boundaries in the Qing Palaces\, was recently published by University of Washington Press.

SUMMARY:Digitizing the Tracks of Yu: GIS and Data Analysis for Yellow River History by Ruth Moster
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture with Dr. Ruth Mostern to learn about GIS and data analysis for Yellow River history.\n\n“Digitizing the Tracks of Yu: GIS and Data Analysis for Yellow River History”\nThursday\, February 18\, 2021    2:00pm (PST)\ntinyurl.com/Tracks-of-Yu (Zoom: 894 2595 8266 passcode: 719417)\n\nSince the publication of The Yellow River Annals (Huanghe nianbiao 黃河年表) by Shen Yi 沈怡 in 1935\, historians of the Yellow River have routinely used the catchphrase “1\,500 floods and over thirty course changes” as a shorthand to describe the long-term and large-scale history of that volatile watercourse.  The Annals collates information about the Yellow River from historical sources and includes details about the type\, location\, and source of each event in river history of the.  Inspired by the extraordinary accomplishment of the Annals\, I have developed a data system called the Tracks of Yu Digital Atlas (TYDA)\, named for the legendary Yu the Great (Da Yu 大禹)\, the mythical culture hero who is said to have channeled the rivers of the realm and inaugurated dynastic rule. The TYDA integrates information from the Annals and other similar compilations of records about the history of disasters and management on the Yellow River. The TYDA also includes information about the settlement history of the Loess Plateau\, which is the upstream origin of the eroded sediment that leads to floods and course changes on the alluvial plain. In addition\, the TYDA includes contextual information: annual moisture data from the Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas\, the beginning and ending dates of regimes\, the biomes that constitute the Yellow River watershed\, and more.  This talk introduces the TYDA and the historical event concept. It also summarizes the conclusions that I have reached about Yellow River history by analyzing the TYDA\, which appear in my forthcoming book\, The Yellow River: A Natural and Unnatural History (Yale University Press\, 2021).

SUMMARY:Sovereignty and Emperor’s Child: The Logic of Dispossession and Protection of Ainu Mosir
DESCRIPTION:Sovereignty and Emperor’s Child: The Logic of Dispossession and Protection of Ainu Mosir\nDr. Katsuya Hirano\, Visiting Speaker \nSpeaker Biography: Katsuya Hirano teaches history at UCLA. He is the author of The Politics of Dialogic Imagination: Power and Popular Culture in Early Modern Japan (Univ. of Chicago Press). \nHe has published numerous articles and book chapters on cultural and intellectual history of\nearly modern and modern Japan\, Fukushima nuclear disaster\, settler colonialism\, and critical\ntheory\, including “Thanatopolitics in the Making of Japan’s Hokkaido: Settler Colonialism and Primitive Accumulation” (Critical Historical Studies). His current book project examines the\nintersection of racism and capitalism in the making of the modern Ainu with a focus on the\nsettler-colonization of the land that once belonged to the indigenous people. The Japanese government passed the Former Native Protection Law in 1899 as a way to respond to the deteriorating conditions of the Ainu life. The talk addresses the contradictory logic of protection articulated in the law by considering it in relation to the ways in which the concept of the imperial sovereignty facilitated the racialization and dispossession of the indigenous Ainu.
