SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professors Erik Mueggler\, Anne Pitcher\, and Silke Weineck\, Collegiate Professorship Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place both in person and virtually.\n\nProfessor Erik Mueggler\, the Katherine Verdery Collegiate Professor of Anthropology\n\nLecture Title: Double Sovereignty and Ritual Fabulation in Qing Southwest China\n\nLecture Abstract: In Qing China\, the mountains where Yunnan\, Sichuan\, and Guizhou provinces came together were scattered with dozens of indigenous chiefly domains\, dominated by an ethnicity we now call Nasu. The residents of these domains were subject to a doubled sovereignty: the sovereignty of the empire\, centered on jurisprudence and oriented towards the horizon of the right to take life or let live\, and the sovereignty of a chiefly house\, centered on kinship and bondage and oriented towards the horizon of the right to enslave. Drawing on the archive of a Nasu chiefly house\, this talk follows a chiefly heir named Nuo Zhenxing as he was expelled from the chiefly house by his adoptive mother and tortured by a district magistrate during the devastating Jiaqing famine of 1815-1817. I juxtapose Zhenxing’s experiences of hunger and exile\, recorded in his Chinese-language diary\, with fabulations of thought and ritual such dream statues and twisted grass criminals\, from texts in the indigenous Yi (or Ne) script\, that reflect ways ordinary farmers and slaves experienced double sovereignty.  \n\nProfessor Anne Pitcher\, the Joel Samoff Collegiate Professor of Political Science and Afroamerican and African Studies\n\nLecture Title: Disrupting the Border:  State Sovereignty\, Domestic Corruption\, and Transnational Kleptocracy\n\nLecture Abstract: In recent years\, studies of corruption have provided extraordinary insight into the pilfering of state resources by politicians. There are exhaustive case studies of nepotism\, bribery\, and embezzlement in Azerbaijan or Zimbabwe.  Scholars have identified different corruption types and Transparency International provides country rankings according to citizens’ perceptions of corruption.  Yet\, many of these studies stop at national borders. By contrast\, an emerging literature in International Relations documents the features of “transnational kleptocracy” or rather\, the cross-border movement of public assets that politicians have hijacked for personal gain.  Owing to changes in the global economy\, state sovereignty has now become “elastic” and permeable\, which has facilitated the transnational flow of capital and the purchase of real estate beyond domestic jurisdictions. My research builds a conceptual bridge between these two literatures and offers a means by which scholars can jointly evaluate the association between corruption and transnational kleptocracy. \n\nProfessor Silke Weineck\, the Grace Lee Boggs Collegiate Professor of Comparative Literature and German Studies\n\nLecture Title: On Honor\n\nLecture Abstract: In the Nicomachean Ethics\, Aristotle asserts that virtue is the condition of being friends with yourself: “a [good] person wishes to spend time with himself\, since he finds it pleasant to do so.” While honor has often been understood as a commitment to your external reputation\, I want to suggest that honor predominantly safeguards the reputation you have with yourself. We cannot resist the authoritarianism unfolding around us without a commitment to ethical norms of conduct that allow us to remain on good terms with ourselves\, and only therefore with others. A sense of honor\, in other words\, prohibits collaboration with the current regime. Its costs are high\, but I want to believe\, with Aristotle\, that there is no happiness without it. Creating the conditions of possibility for happiness is arguably the core political project for the left. \n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar.\n\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/91058514389\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+13052241968\,\,91058514389# US\n+13092053325\,\,91058514389# US\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\nWebinar ID: 910 5851 4389\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/acBAHNLkJB
