SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FoRMS: Heavenly Precision and Hidden Machines: Qi Yanhuai and the Clockwork Celestial Globes of Late Imperial China
DESCRIPTION:Please join The Forum for Research in Medieval Studies (FoRMS) on Monday\, April 20th\, in 1014 Tisch for a presentation by Christopher DeCou. This presentation examines the production and pedagogical utility of clockwork celestial globes in late imperial China\, focusing on the work of Qi Yanhuai (1774-1841) to recenter these artifacts from marginal curiosities to scientific instruments. While many histories of Chinese science begin with texts\, this presentation employs a material culture approach—analyzing extant objects alongside contemporary accounts—to recover historical practices of those who built and used these globes.\n\nThese mechanical globes were significant artifacts for their time: they served as platforms for fashioning scholarly identities for both gentry and artisans\, acted as essential tools for disseminating new astronomical theories\, and provided conceptual models for self-organization and automation. By investigating the material traces and social and cultural contexts surrounding Qi’s instruments\, this talk offers two primary interventions. First\, it places Chinese clockwork globes within a global comparative framework of \"polite\" and \"practical\" astronomy\, challenging their status as a horological oddity. Second\, it demonstrates that popular movements were more engaged with imperial astronomy than current historiography would suggest. Ultimately\, this presentation asserts that celestial globes in China can inform us about the changing nature of astronomical knowledge and time measurement and the social value of technical and scientific practices.\n\nChristopher DeCou is a sixth year doctoral candidate in the History department. His dissertation \"The Stars in Their Eyes: Materials for Making Time in the Qing Empire\, 1700–1900\" explores the culture of timekeeping and instrument making in late imperial China. He completed his undergraduate training in Chinese as well as Medieval and Early Modern Studies at the University of Michigan and did his masters at the University of Chicago.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Michigan Korean Studies Summer Institute (MiKSSI)
DESCRIPTION:The Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan is pleased to announce the Michigan Korean Studies Summer Institute (MiKSSI)\, to be held in Ann Arbor from June 28-July 3\, 2026. PhD students in any discipline whose research concerns Korea are encouraged to apply. This one-week residential intensive program will focus on collaborative learning\, collective thinking\, and interdisciplinary agenda-setting around a key critical issue central to Korean Studies.\n\nThis year’s theme is Confucianism in Korean History. What is Confucianism? And what about Neo-Confucianism? Some scholars state that Neo-Confucianism was adopted as the state ideology at the time of the founding of the Chosŏn dynasty. Others discuss the Confucian transformation of Korea society during this period. Still some others note that late Chosŏn scholars and officials regarded their own country as the true inheritor of Confucian civilization\, resulting in Chosŏn becoming more Confucian than any other East Asian polity. Many blame Confucianism for the Chosŏn dynasty’s ultimate inability to maintain its independence\, citing such presumably Confucian factors as factionalism\, anti-commercialism\, rigidity in the social order\, and short-sighted Korean reliance on its tributary relationship with China. Nonetheless\, the strong Confucian historical legacy is believed by some to have had an enormous impact on Korea’s modern transformation\, and Korea is still dealing with its legacy today. The ongoing debate about whether Confucianism has any place in contemporary Korea and the wider world continues.
