Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Lead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Center for Japanese Studies, Nam Center for Korean Studies, School of Information, and College of Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Fabrication Studio at the Duderstadt Center, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, and SeeMeCNC 3D Printers.

Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

CJS Noon Lecture Series | An Exploration of Japanese Game Audio (September 12, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/66264 66264-16725775@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 12, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Quite possibly the primary means that most Americans have encountered Japanese culture, if not by food, is through video game music. Japanese composed themes and game audio techniques from the 70s and 80s are still used in modern games and even played in concert halls. This music has become one of Japan’s most notable exports to the world. In this presentation, Dr. Thompson will lead a journey through some of the most famous and influential video game music that he enjoyed during his childhood in the early days of game audio, and then turn to more recent topics, including recent research on the influence of video game music on piano study in Japan.

Matthew Thompson, DMA — collaborative piano, is Assistant Professor of Music at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance. As a pianist, Thompson has performed with operatic celebrities like Thomas Hampson, Golden Mask winner Vince Yi, and musical theatre gurus like Tony Award winner, Gavin Creel. Equally comfortable collaborating with instrumentalists, Thompson’s most recent recording project, Japonica, is comprised of Japanese composed oboe/piano duos with recent U-M alumnus, Dr. Alex Hayashi. Thompson’s research interests in game audio pedagogy have garnered international attention; he presents regularly nationally and serves on the advisory board for GameSoundCon and a committee member for the North American Conference on Video Game Music.

CSAS Lecture Series | Widows under Hindu Law: an Overview (September 13, 2019 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64842 64842-16460996@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 13, 2019 4:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

This talk will present a broad history of the Hindu widow, as she is treated within works of the voluminous, two-millennia-long tradition of classical Hindu law known as Dharmaśāstra. Specifically, it will show how the opinions of jurists working within the Hindu legal tradition changed over time on four major issues related to Hindu widows. These issues are: widow remarriage and levirate; a widow’s right to inherit; widow self-immolation or sati; and widow-asceticism. This talk will then argue that the shifting opinions of Hindu jurists on these four issues are, to a significant extent, causally related to one or another and that they allow us to identify and track major shifts in orthodox Brahmanical attitudes toward women during the early medieval period (c. 500-1300 CE).

David Brick is assistant professor of Sanskrit literature at the University of Michigan. His research deals with diverse aspects of early India and Sanskrit literature with a special focus on the influential tradition of classical Hindu law known as Dharmaśāstra. His first book, Brahmanical Theories of the Gift: A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation of the Dānakāṇḍa of the Kṛtyakalpatura (Harvard Oriental Series 2015), comprises the first critical edition and translation into any modern language of a dānanibandha, a classical Hindu legal digest devoted to the culturally and religiously important topic of gifting. His next major project will be a comprehensive study of widows under Hindu law.

Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists (September 14, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/67493 67493-16866533@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, September 14, 2019 10:00am
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum

Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut, painting on canvas, and mixed media, Linda Hyong, Sung Eun Hong, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers, gardens, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.

Linda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like, nearly abstract paintings, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”

Exhibit runs September 14 through November 15, 2019 at the

University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor. Free.

The act of producing copies has a special meaning in Buddhism. From simply reciting and rewriting Buddha’s teachings to creating multiple images of sacred Buddhist figures, objects and texts, or the commissioning of one million pagodas, copying served to increase karmic merit—​guaranteeing a better afterlife and eventually leading to enlightenment. In this conversation, Kevin Carr, Associate Professor of Japanese Art History at University of Michigan and specialist of Buddhist art, and Natsu Oyobe, UMMA Curator of Asian Art, will illuminate the significance of copies in Buddhist religious practices, and guide us through Buddhist art objects featured in the current UMMA exhibition Copies and Invention in East Asia.

Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut, painting on canvas, and mixed media, Linda Hyong, Sung Eun Hong, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers, gardens, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.

Linda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like, nearly abstract paintings, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”

Exhibit runs September 14 through November 15, 2019 at the

University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor. Free.

Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Chinese Railroad Workers, The Transcontinental, and the Making of Modern America (September 18, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63431 63431-15694218@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 18, 2019 4:00pm

Organized By: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies

This year is the 150th anniversary of the completion of the first transcontinental railroad line. At Promontory Summit, Utah on May 10, 1869, the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroad lines celebrated the spanning of the country with iron. Hailed ever since as a signal development in post-Civil War America, the story of the transcontinental is often romanticized and celebrated as a national triumph. Relegated to the margins or even erased altogether from many accounts, Chinese railroad workers were actually central to the effort. Chang’s historical recovery returns these workers to the center of the narrative. His lecture will consider historiography, the methodological challenge of writing history without traditional documentation, and the place of this history in the rise of modern America.


Gordon H. Chang is professor of history, Olive H. Palmer Professor in the Humanities, and the Senior Associate Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education at Stanford University. He studies the histories of America-China relations, U.S. diplomacy, and Asian American history. Among his publications are Friends and Enemies: The United States, China, and the Soviet Union, 1948-1972; Morning Glory, Evening Shadow: Yamato Ichihashi and His Internment Writing, 1942-1945; Asian Americans and Politics: Perspectives, Experiences, Prospects; editor with Judy Yung and H.M Lai, Chinese American Voices: From the Gold Rush to the Present; editor with Mark Johnson and Paul Karlstrom, Asian American Art: A History, 1850-1970; and Fateful Ties: A History of America’s Preoccupation with China. He has been a Guggenheim and ACLS Fellow.

He currently co-directs the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project at Stanford and has published two books this year: The Chinese and the Iron Road: Building the Transcontinental (editor with Shelley Fisher Fishkin) and Ghosts of Gold Mountain: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Built the Transcontinental.

CSAS Thomas R. Trautmann Honorary Lecture | Early Readers and Early Readings of the Mahābhārata (September 20, 2019 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65321 65321-16571515@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 20, 2019 4:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

The Sanskrit Mahābhārata did not receive a commentary until the eleventh century. Well before then, however, it had become a central feature of Indian high culture, adapted by poets and dramatists, deliberated on by philosophers and aestheticians. Over the past century scholars have usefully examined these early treatments for what they tell us about the history of the Mahābhārata’s text. The commentaries, some of which establish a version of the text, have been put to similar text-historical use.

In this lecture I will argue for the value of the material that lies outside the boundaries of the epic proper, not in writing the history of the text, but in writing the history of that text’s meaning to its readers. An interest in the history of the reception of ancient canonical texts through their commentaries and related paratexts has gained prominence in the study of the literary traditions of other parts of the world, because of its inherent interest and its utility for intellectual history. With some exceptions, the Indological field has remained hesitant about reception studies, in part because it is perceived to open the door to anachronistic readings, thereby violating a governing disciplinary principle, that of historicism. And yet built into this Indological stance is a contradiction, due to the huge extra-academic importance in the present of Sanskrit texts like the Mahābhārata.

In 1942, the founding editor of the Poona edition, V.S. Sukthankar, delivered a series of seminal lectures, ‘On the Meaning of the Mahābhārata,’ that is representative of the quandary. Sukthankar proposed a meaning for the epic working from within the text itself. He did not rely on the commentators, epitomizers, poets, or literary theorists, yet in ruling out possibilities he did use as an argument the brute fact of the importance of the Mahābhārata to the Indian people. The idea of the Mahābhārata as India’s national epic whispers through the twentieth century scholarship, and yet its popularity in the present is neither an automatic result of its antiquity nor an accident of modernity.

The text was composed to create a remembered past. Over time its transmitters adjusted that memory and the text itself as they performed it, codified it, and used it as a point of departure. Survivals of this process are abundant in the Mahabharata’s poetic and dramatic recreations and occasional pieces, and especially in its ancillary literature: its commentaries, its versified summaries, its indices, and its ‘satellite texts,’ that is, marginal verses and other materials, some of which crept into the body of the epic over time.

If for nothing else, the history of the reception of the itihasa of the Bhārata clan through this material can serve as a way to confirm or disconfirm historical claims about the epic’s meaning, either as invented or as original, especially when the claims are presented as justiciable only by experts, or when the claims pretend to speak for a collective indigenous understanding that is inaccessible to those not native to the culture. Special reference will be made to episodes with elephants, either actual or imaginary, and to the Arthaśāstra.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

This conference celebrates the upcoming publication of the two-volume Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent (co-edited by David Gilmartin, Prasannan Parthasarthi, & Mrinalini Sinha). The texts will mark the centenary of the original Cambridge History of India (published in 5 volumes between 1922-1937) as well as the 75th anniversary of the Independence and Partition of the subcontinent in 1947.

The new volumes will comprise approximately 70 commissioned essays, covering the history of the modern Indian subcontinent from the founding of the Mughal Empire to the early 21st century. The two-volume Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent will both reflect the changing contours of the region’s historiography since the 1980s and suggest openings for new directions.

The conference is open to the public.
The conference is made possible by the generous support of the College of Liberal Arts, the Department of History, and the Center for South Asian Studies, University of Michigan.

Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum

Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut, painting on canvas, and mixed media, Linda Hyong, Sung Eun Hong, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers, gardens, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.

Linda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like, nearly abstract paintings, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”

Exhibit runs September 14 through November 15, 2019 at the

University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor. Free.

The Making of the Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent (September 24, 2019 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/65234 65234-16557457@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 24, 2019 9:30am
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

This conference celebrates the upcoming publication of the two-volume Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent (co-edited by David Gilmartin, Prasannan Parthasarthi, & Mrinalini Sinha). The texts will mark the centenary of the original Cambridge History of India (published in 5 volumes between 1922-1937) as well as the 75th anniversary of the Independence and Partition of the subcontinent in 1947.

The new volumes will comprise approximately 70 commissioned essays, covering the history of the modern Indian subcontinent from the founding of the Mughal Empire to the early 21st century. The two-volume Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent will both reflect the changing contours of the region’s historiography since the 1980s and suggest openings for new directions.

The conference is open to the public.
The conference is made possible by the generous support of the College of Liberal Arts, the Department of History, and the Center for South Asian Studies, University of Michigan.

Copies and Invention in East Asia (September 24, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63517 63517-15769744@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 24, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Lead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Center for Japanese Studies, Nam Center for Korean Studies, School of Information, and College of Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Fabrication Studio at the Duderstadt Center, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, and SeeMeCNC 3D Printers.

Cosponsored by the Department of Ethnomusicology.

In the fields of ethnomusicology and folklore, it has become a well-known ‘given’ that the act of singing has the power to re-position marginal voices to the center of community dialogues. When people gather to share their voices, they both claim a public role and re-center narratives to include their experiences and their perspectives. Understood in this way, such expressivities are key to building and nurturing fluid social relationships. This presentation focuses on the role of heungeulsori (murmuring sound), an individualistic and improvisatory expression of female desire and angst, in both private and public realms. In Korea, heungeulsori historically has served as an emotional outlet for women, and these murmurs were often an indirect communication, uttered on the periphery in either hopes the message could be received or, at least, released onto the air. Here, I examine diverse contexts for the performance of heungeulsori and consider the ways by which performers evoke individual, community and regional identities through pointed use of melodic and narrative tropes. By examining public presentations of a once-private form of female articulation, the presentation touches on the ways by which concepts of genre and related expressivities transform in accordance with societal transformations and the human relationships therein. The solo voice does not act as an anomaly, despite its power in redirecting narrative. Rather, it engages with pre-existing social structures, reinforcing values of social place and function alongside those of aesthetic expressions tied to women’s roles in Korean society.

Hilary Vanessa Finchum-Sung (Ph.D. Indiana University) is currently the Executive Director of the Association for Asian Studies. She formally served as Dean of Student Affairs at Seoul National University's College of Music and Associate Professor of Theory and Ethnomusicology in the Department of Korean Music at Seoul National University (2009-2019). In addition, Finchum formerly taught in the MA in Asia Pacific Studies Program at University of San Francisco and served as an administrator and researcher at UC Berkeley's Institute of East Asian Studies.She is a Korean music specialist with research interests in sustainable practice in traditional Korean music performance, musical genealogies, gender roles and performance, and emotion embodied through sound. Finchum has published in academic journals such as Ethnomusicology, the world of music (new series), Acta Koreana and Seoul Journal of Korean Studies, as well as contributed entries to publications such as The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Music and Culture (2019) and numerous edited volumes. She has presented papers at international conferences in the US, Canada, China, Japan, Egypt, England and Korea as well as lectures and workshops on Korean music for organizations such as the National Gugak Center, The National Theatre of Korea, Korea Foundation, UNESCO and the Asia Society of New York. In avid pursuit of musicianship, she regularly practices and performs on the two-string spike fiddle, haegeum.

Biography
Tony S. Hsu is the grandson of Xu Zhimo. He was born in Shanghai shortly after the end of World War II. As a toddler, Hsu and his sisters were raised by his grandmother, Zhang Youyi, while his parents pursued their studies in America.

In the late 1940s, Zhang and her young charges left China amidst national political turmoil and settled in Hong Kong. At age six, Hsu and his sisters emigrated to New York to join their parents and begin a new life in America. Hsu ultimately received his bachelor’s in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan and doctorate in applied physics from Yale University. He has been an executive for several technology companies. Hsu lives with his fashion designer wife, Lily Pao Hsu, and his filmmaker daughter, Alexandra, in Southern California. Chasing the Modern is his first book.

Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum

Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut, painting on canvas, and mixed media, Linda Hyong, Sung Eun Hong, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers, gardens, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.

Linda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like, nearly abstract paintings, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”

Exhibit runs September 14 through November 15, 2019 at the

University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor. Free.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Lead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Center for Japanese Studies, Nam Center for Korean Studies, School of Information, and College of Engineering.

CJS Noon Lecture Series | Is Japanese Trade Policy Finally Proactive? Japan’s Multilateral Leadership in TPP (October 3, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65008 65008-16501310@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 3, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Since the 1980s, Japan’s foreign policy, including its trade policy, has been known to be “reactive.” Subsequent studies have modified this rather monotonic characterization, but to date, no one has found that Japan is willing and able to take a strong leadership role in a multilateral setting. By historical standards, however, Japan’s leadership in concluding TPP-11 negotiations was rather remarkable. Is Japan finally proactive? It will be demonstrated that Japan found itself in an unusual set of circumstances in TPP-11 and that one cannot generalize from this episode that Japan is now a proactive international player.

Keisuke Iida is a Professor in the Graduate Schools for Law and Politics at the University of Tokyo. His recent publications include Japan’s Security and Economic Dependence on China and the United States. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and formerly taught at Princeton University and Aoyama Gakuin University.

The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut, painting on canvas, and mixed media, Linda Hyong, Sung Eun Hong, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers, gardens, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.

Linda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like, nearly abstract paintings, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”

Exhibit runs September 14 through November 15, 2019 at the

University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor. Free.

National Book Tour of Journey for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong (October 7, 2019 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/67249 67249-16829024@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 7, 2019 11:30am
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies

In commemoration of October as Filipino American History Month, join us at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, as we host another stop on the National Book Tour of Journey for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong, with co-author and publisher, Gayle Romasanta (from Stockton, California), on Monday, October 7, 2019.

About Journey for Justice:

In 2019-2020, Bridge and Delta Publishing in partnership with the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) and PapaLoDown Agency takes “Journey for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong,” on a 20+ city national book tour. This is the first nonfiction illustrated children’s book about Filipino American history, and the first book ever written about Larry Itliong. The children’s book written by the late historian Dawn Bohulano Mabalon, Ph.D. with Gayle Romasanta and illustrated by Andre Sibayan, tells the story of forgotten United Farm Workers (UFW) cofounder, Larry Itliong, his migration to the United States and his lifelong fight for a farmworkers union. The city of Delano, California, was the first stop of the national book tour with events held in Seattle, WA; New York; Washington DC; Anchorage, AK; Santa Ana, CA; Houston, TX; with future stops in Southfield and Ann Arbor, MI; Milwaukee, WI; Chicago, IL; Wapato, WA; Virginia Beach, VA; Irvine, San Diego, Stockton, SF Bay Area, CA; Lancaster and Philadelphia, PA; Honolulu, HI; and more.

“Journey for Justice is a significant children’s book about a legendary pioneer in the farmworkers movement. This was the last book that FANHS National Scholar and Trustee Dr. Dawn Bohulano Mabalon, wrote before she passed away suddenly on Aug. 10, 2018. We are committed to carry on Dawn’s legacy so that people of all ages can learn more about Filipina/o American history. We support this book and strongly encourage everyone to read it and discuss it with their children, community, and educators,” shares University of Michigan Prof. Emily P. Lawsin, FANHS National Vice President.

Currently, Filipino Americans are the largest Asian American group in 10 of the 13 western states, the second largest Asian American population in the nation, and is the oldest Asian population in the nation, with hardly any mention of their contributions to U.S. history in school textbooks. This book will be the first out of a planned series of four books about Filipino American historical figures for students of all ages, from 10 and up. A free teacher’s curriculum guide created by Pin@y Educational Partnerships is available at www.bridgedelta.com.

Bridge and Delta Publisher and Owner Gayle Romasanta and the Filipino American community celebrate and aim to further Dr. Dawn Mabalon’s work to spread Filipino American history, especially “Journey for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong,” Mabalon’s last book. Romasanta says, “She made history accessible and was a revered community activist. She not only was a scholar, but her work touched the Filipino

American community on a national scale. She not only saved the remaining Filipino neighborhood Little Manila buildings in her hometown of Stockton and named the area ‘Historic Little Manila,’ she traveled the country speaking and connecting with the community and spreading her wealth of knowledge about American history, Filipino American food history, and more. She was the leading Filipino American historian before her untimely passing.”

The Journey for Justice National Book Tour in Michigan will include a community visit to Paaralang Pilipino Language and Cultural School, which is housed in the Philippine American Community Center of Michigan, in Southfield, and a book signing reception and guest lectures at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (in WOMENSTD 151/AMCULT/ASIANPAM 102: Women’s Studies First Year Seminar on Food and Gender in Asian American Communities, and in AMCULT/ASIANPAM 310: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies [Race & Ethnicity-Social Sciences] class on the Filipino American Experience).

While the Journey for Justice book celebrates Larry Itliong and the history of the Delano Grape Strike, it also highlights Dr. Dawn Mabalon’s life work as the co-founder of Little Manila Rising (formerly the Little Manila Foundation), Filipino American National Historical Society National Scholar and Trustee, a San Francisco State University professor, and author of multiple books including “Little Manila Is In the Heart: The Making of the Filipina/o American Community in Stockton, California” (Duke University Press, 2013).

Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Over the past decade, a wave of Chinese international undergraduate students―mostly self-funded―has swept across American higher education. This privileged yet diverse group of young people from a changing China must navigate the complications and confusions of their formative years while bridging the two most powerful countries in the world. How do these students come to study in the United States? What does this experience mean to them? This talk is based on a forthcoming book to be released by the Columbia University Press in January 2020.

Yingyi Ma is an Associate Professor of Sociology and a Senior Research Associate in the Center for Policy Research. Professor Ma is also the Director of Asian/Asian American Studies. She is a Public Intellectual Fellow of the National Committee on US-China Relations. Her research interests lie in education and migration.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

Presenting from her book, Kim will examine a direct link between cure and violence that appears in the representations of disability and Cold War imperialism in South Korea. She explores the notion of “folded time” in which the present disappears through the imperative of cure in the case of Hansen’s disease care. By thinking about the imperative of cure as a time machine that seeks to take us to the past and to the future by universalizing disability experiences and denying coevalness, Kim explores the possibility of inhabiting in the present with disability and illness. While calling attention to the transnational construction of disability under militarism and imperialism, Kim argues that the possibility of life with disability that is free from violence depends on the creation of a space and time where cure is understood as a negotiation rather than a necessity.

Eunjung Kim is associate professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and Disability Studies Program at Syracuse University. Her book, Curative Violence (Duke University Press) received Alison Piepmeier Award from the National Women's Studies Association and the James B. Palais Book Prize from the Association for Asian Studies. Her work appeared in several journals and anthologies, such as GLQ, Disability & Society, Sexualities, Catalyst, Intersectionality and Beyond, Against Health, and Asexualities.

Communication access real-time translation (CART) is provided for this event.

Abstract:
The relationship between Japan and South Korea has often been fraught with tensions reflecting their complicated history going back centuries. In the modern era, Japan’s colonization of Korea and its legacy have marred the bilateral relationship despite their shared values as the two most advanced democracies in the region and their status as the most important allies of the U.S. in East Asia. In the last couple of years, the tension has reached a boiling point as the two countries began to discard various agreements in trade, security, and other areas. Meanwhile, the US government sat on the sidelines for the most part, seeming to play a less proactive role than in the past. In the context of trade conflict with China, nuclear developments in North Korea, and growing assertiveness of Russia in the region, further deterioration of Japan-South Korea relations would be detrimental not only to the two countries but also to the U.S. and other players in the Asia-Pacific region. In this panel discussion, experts of the region will offer their views on the current tensions in the region and their implications for the regional politics and U.S. foreign policy.

Mission of the Korea Foundation:
Since its inception in 1991, The Korea Foundation aims to connect people to people and serve as a bridge between Korea and the global community through a diverse array of academic and cultural programs and activities.
As a lead public diplomacy institution of Korea, the Korea Foundation has over the past two decades tried to explore timely avenues to reach out general public by organizing insightful lectures and intellectual events on regional as well as global issues that are the focus of public attention.

In a longer project called The Postcolonial Commons, I am interested in the emergence of fluid political subjectivities around questions of defending existing commons, and creating new ones, in two regions of India: of small-scale fishers in coastal Kerala, and small farmers in the Garhwal region of present-day Uttarakhand state. I am in conversation with strands of contemporary political theory (represented, among others, by Hardt and Negri, Federici, de Angelis, Zizek, and Bauwens) that posit a future organised around ‘the commons’. However, while these writings are futuristic, I suggest that they have an underpinning narrative of the transition from the ‘pre-capitalist commons’ to the ‘commons unmade through capitalism’, which has implications for the political imaginaries outlined in their works. I challenge their orthodox account of this transition with drawing on writings on ‘postcolonial capitalism’, including my own recent work.

For this seminar, I offer two sections of the ‘historical’ part of the larger project: a discussion of the historiographical challenges in reconstructing ‘the pre-capitalist commons’ and the transitions it undergoes ‘under capitalism’ in relation to Kerala fisheries and Garhwali forests, and the limits of the ‘commodity frontiers’ approach to narrate this process. Among other things, the very nature of ‘rule’, and the problems of establishing it in these ‘unruly’ spaces, has a bearing on the sources – rather, the lack thereof – on which an account of such a process can be reconstituted. Accounts are few, and the reliability of some sources is uncertain, for much of the period of early colonial conquest. And what accounts there are do not point to the transformation of fish or forest into ‘commodities’ until relatively recently. Nor are capitalist production relations visible in any meaningful sense. The conditions for fish and forests becoming ‘commodities’, and for the emergence of capitalism in these sectors, come from a number of scientific, technological and other governmental innovations under late-colonial and early-postcolonial developmentalism. I conclude by identifying the implications of my account for radical political theory of the commons.

Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists (October 12, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/67493 67493-16866561@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 12, 2019 10:00am
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum

Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut, painting on canvas, and mixed media, Linda Hyong, Sung Eun Hong, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers, gardens, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.

Linda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like, nearly abstract paintings, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”

Exhibit runs September 14 through November 15, 2019 at the

University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor. Free.

Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Lead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Center for Japanese Studies, Nam Center for Korean Studies, School of Information, and College of Engineering.

CJS Noon Lecture Series | Reeking of Mud: Japanese Counter-Culture in the 1960s and '70s (October 17, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65158 65158-16541461@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 17, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

The 1960s and '70s were a time of rebellion and counterculture in Japan, as was true in the US. I will highlight some of the specifically Japanese aspects: the underground dance and theater, the student politics, the protests against the Vietnam War, the radical cinema. In many ways, the counterculture was a rediscovery of Japanese traditions. After a century of Westernization and a rather fossilized high classical culture, artists were going back to the erotic and often dark roots of pre-modern popular culture, hence the title: Reeking of Mud.

Ian Buruma studied Chinese at Leyden University, and cinema at Nihon University College of Arts, in Tokyo. He lived in Japan from 1974 to 1980. He worked in Tokyo as a photographer, filmmaker, and journalist. He has worked as a writer and editor in Hong Kong, London and New York, and contributed to many papers and magazines, including the New York Times, the New York Review of Books, and the New Yorker. His latest book is a memoir, entitled "A Tokyo Romance".

Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists (October 18, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/67493 67493-16866567@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 18, 2019 10:00am
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum

Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut, painting on canvas, and mixed media, Linda Hyong, Sung Eun Hong, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers, gardens, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.

Linda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like, nearly abstract paintings, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”

Exhibit runs September 14 through November 15, 2019 at the

University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor. Free.

Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Coastal smuggling has been a thorny problem for successive governments in modern China. But, while smuggling might have operated on the margins of the law, it was far from marginal in driving important historical changes. Introducing his new book, Philip Thai explores how campaigns against smuggling transformed everyday economic life and amplified state power, thereby offering new insights into modern Chinese social, legal, and economic history.

Philip Thai is Associate Professor in the Department of History at Northeastern University. He received his PhD from Stanford University, and he specializes in modern Chinese, East Asian, legal, economic, and Cold War history. His book “China’s War on Smuggling: Law, Economic Life, and the Making of the Modern State, 1842–1965” was published by Columbia University Press in 2018, and his interdisciplinary research has been supported by many organizations including the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC).

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

Cosponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and the Department of Art History.

Since North Korea has been closed off from the world for more than seven decades and has been considered a pariah state, when art from the DPRK trickled out to the world through small exhibitions and auctions, most of those who evaluated the works were already inclined to judge them with preconceptions.

This talk by Professor BG Muhn will explore these outside perspectives on North Korean art, specifically focusing on perceptions of chosonhwa, the North Korean name for Oriental ink wash painting. We are familiar with the concepts of “art for art’s sake,” “free expression,” and “art created in accordance with an artist’s unconstrained free will.” Considering the context of the DPRK, many people ask: Can art in a true sense exist in a socialist state? Professor Muhn will address the complexities embedded in the answer to this and other questions about North Korean art.

A professor in the Department of Art and Art History at Georgetown University, BG Muhn is also an accomplished painter who has achieved substantial and noteworthy professional recognition through solo exhibitions in venues such as Stux Gallery in the Chelsea district of New York City, Ilmin Museum of Art in Seoul and the American University Museum in Washington, DC. Muhn has received several awards for his artistic merits, including the Maryland State Arts Council’s Individual Artist Award and Best in Show at the Bethesda Painting Awards competition. His artwork has been collected in museums and galleries, which include the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in South Korea. He also has received acclaim in reviews in "The New York Times," "The Washington Post," and "Art in America."

In addition to actively showing his artworks, Muhn has taken a strong interest in and researched the relatively unknown field of North Korean art, particularly chosonhwa or ink wash painting on mulberry paper. He made numerous research trips to Pyongyang, North Korea, over the last six years and visited art institutions such as the Choson National Art Museum, the Mansudae Art Studio and the Pyongyang University of Fine Arts. His research is comprised of reviewing a prodigious amount of North Korean artwork in person and interviewing artists, art historians, museum staff, faculty and students. Based on his work, he has delivered lectures on North Korean art at academic venues and cultural centers including Columbia, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown and Ohio State universities; the Watermill Center in Long Island; the Korea Society in New York; and the Wilson Center in Washington, DC.

His research on North Korean art culminated in the book, "North Korean Art: The Enigmatic World of Chosonhwa" (to be released in the fall of 2019), which was first published as "Pyongyang misul: chosonhwa neonun nugunya" in Korean by Seoul Selection in the spring of 2018.

Professor Muhn has curated two major North Korean art exhibitions, one at the American University Museum in Washington, DC, in 2016 and the other at the Gwangju Biennale in 2018. The catalogue "North Korean Art: Paradoxical Realism" was published in English in conjunction with the Gwangju Biennale.

Using woodcut, painting on canvas, and mixed media, Linda Hyong, Sung Eun Hong, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers, gardens, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.

Linda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like, nearly abstract paintings, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”

Exhibit runs September 14 through November 15, 2019 at the

University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor. Free.

Copies and Invention in East Asia (October 24, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63517 63517-15769770@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 24, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Lead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Center for Japanese Studies, Nam Center for Korean Studies, School of Information, and College of Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Fabrication Studio at the Duderstadt Center, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, and SeeMeCNC 3D Printers.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Approval ratings in public opinion polls are the most important power resource for prime ministers in contemporary Japanese politics. However, this is a relatively new political phenomenon. In this lecture, I provide a brief overview of the changes in the role of prime ministers and the power of public opinion over the past fifty years. I also show how changes in methodology and more frequent polls further accelerated prime ministers’ dependence on their approval ratings. Finally, using available survey data, I demonstrate how much the impact of prime ministerial approval on individual voting behavior has increased over time.

Professor Maeda earned his PhD in political science from the University of Michigan in 2001. His research interests include (1) public opinion, (2) methodologies in survey research, and (3) data sharing in the social sciences. He has worked for the Japanese committees for many international surveys, including the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems, and World Value Survey.

The Chinese government has become increasingly involved in global standards-making events such as the annual Internet Governance Forum and China’s Wuzhen Internet Summit (aka the World Internet Conference) that leverage China’s national standing in international standards-building events to shape global the future of global Internet governance. At the same time, Chinese regulators are also exporting standards not through national, or international governance frameworks, but through the community standards of individual platforms. This talk examines how the Chinese government is expanding its regulatory control over global consumer platforms through the expansion of Chinese-owned consumer platforms.

WCED Lecture. The Authoritarian Origins of Dominant Parties in Democracies: Lessons from India (October 30, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/66331 66331-16727909@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 30, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

What explains the electoral dominance of a single party over a prolonged period of time in a democracy? Focusing on the case of the Indian National Congress in India, Ziegfeld argues that authoritarian-era politics can influence the likelihood of single-party dominance after democratization. More specifically, when the authoritarian era's primary socio-political division becomes irrelevant because the democratization process roundly discredits one side of the division, the resulting party system in the democratic period is likely to feature a single major party and a host of small, disorganized, and inexperienced parties. Such asymmetric party competition is likely to produce a dominant party. This explanation accounts for the main features of Congress dominance in India, where the decolonization process discredited most of Congress' colonial-era competitors, leaving it to face a highly fragmented and disorganized opposition against which it could easily win elections. Ziegfeld concludes by reflecting on whether India is, today, on the cusp of a new dominant-party system under the BJP.

Adam Ziegfeld is an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at Temple University. He is the author of “Why Regional Parties? Clientelism, Elites, and the Indian Party System,” published by Cambridge University Press in 2016, as well as numerous articles on a range of topics related to political parties and elections.

Linda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like, nearly abstract paintings, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”

Exhibit runs September 14 through November 15, 2019 at the

University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor. Free.

Copies and Invention in East Asia (October 31, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63517 63517-15769776@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 31, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Lead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Center for Japanese Studies, Nam Center for Korean Studies, School of Information, and College of Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Fabrication Studio at the Duderstadt Center, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, and SeeMeCNC 3D Printers.

Beginning with the recounting of his personal experience of undergoing an involuntary HIV test in Japan in 2016, Treat explores recent work on abjection by LGBT scholars and its intersection with recent critiques of the concept of sexual, or "intimate," citizenship and social activism based on it. Literary works to be discussed include HIV+ poet Hasegawa Takeshi’s Confessions of Bearine de Pink (2005) and Japan’s first cell phone novel, Yoshi Yū's Ayu no monogatari (2002).

John Whittier Treat is Emeritus Professor in the Department of East Asia Languages and Literatures at Yale University. He is the author of Writing Ground Zero: Japanese Literature and the Atomic Bomb; Great Mirrors Shattered: Orientalism, Japan and Homosexuality; and The Rise and Fall of Modern Japanese Literature.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Dr. Duara seeks to grasp the genealogy of China’s Belt and Road (BRI) in relation both to the imperial Chinese world order and the historical sequence of forms of global domination, i.e., modern imperialism, the ‘imperialism of nation-states’ during the inter-war and Cold War period as well as the post-Cold War notion of ‘soft power’. While we may think of BRI as poised uncertainly between the logics of the older imperial Chinese order and the more recent logic impelled by capitalist nation-states, there are significant novelties in the new Chinese order, mostly in relation to debt, the environment and digital technology which constitute new realms of power not easily dominated by a hegemon.

Prasenjit Duara is the Oscar Tang Chair of East Asian Studies at Duke University. He received his PhD in Chinese history from Harvard University. He was Professor and chair of History and East Asian Studies at University of Chicago (1991-2008) and Raffles Professor and Director of Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore (2008-2015). His latest book is "The Crisis of Global Modernity: Asian Traditions and a Sustainable Future" (Cambridge 2014). He was awarded the doctor philosophiae honoris causa from the University of Oslo in 2017 and he is the current President of the Association for Asian Studies.

This presentation is co-sponsored by the Association for Asian Studies.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

We are excited to invite you to the Global Theories of Critique's second event of the academic year, with our theme for this year being "On the Failed and Marginal," focusing on the excluded and undermined from and in Euro-American histories. Challenging these histories or going against and beyond them demands an interrogation of the space from which we think, write, and act: the university and its various arms. Following this thinking, our second event will be a workshop on "Rethinking the University: On Discipline, Excellence, and Solidarity" with Professor Reginald Jackson, to be held on Thursday, Oct. 31st, 4-6 pm, room 1014 Tisch Hall, dinner included.

Professor Jackson is an Associate Professor of Pre-modern Japanese Literature at U of M's department of Asian Languages and Cultures, and has been long committed to thinking and practicing knowledge production in relation to solidarity with the marginalized and forgotten, within both the university's own space and its many outsides. As such, ahead of this event, we recommend reading Professor Jackson's recently published article, titled "Solidarity's Indiscipline: Regarding Miyoshi's Pedagogical Legacy," along with two theoretical pieces he is in engaging with. All readings are available here, and we recommend reading them in this order:

Readings, “The Idea of Excellence”
Jackson, “Solidarity’s Indiscipline: Regarding Miyoshi's Pedagogical Legacy”
Moten and Harney, “The University and the Undercommons” (optional)

Additionally, if you plan on attending this event, please RSVP here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd9zWJXZZnlGwM1-MIwVj7GNA5DZ_vnK-KvGxWzV26Is898Vw/viewform. We would also very much appreciate circulating this invite with any student, department or anyone else who might be interested in this event.

This event and the Global Theories of Critique project are part of a partnership between the University of Michigan and the American University in Cairo (AUC) focusing on Public Humanities in the Global South supported by a Grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to AUC. Please get in touch with Hakem Al-Rustom (hakemaa@umich.edu) or Raya Naamneh (rnaamneh@umich.edu) with any questions.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Estimating the Unofficial Income of Officials from Large Asset Purchases (November 5, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63873 63873-15955826@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 5, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

From a paper co-authored by Yongheng Deng (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Shang-Jin Wei (Columbia University, FISF, and NBER) and Jing Wu (Tsinghua University)

Professor Deng and his co-authors propose a method to estimate not only the relative size of unofficial incomes but also the pervasiveness of corruption based on large asset purchases. Additionally, they applied this idea to a unique Chinese data and provide a first estimate of the proportion of officials who take in unofficial incomes. They have found that an average official’s unofficial income is 83% of his/her official income, and 57% of the officials have an unofficial income and this proportion rises with the rank. They also tested and reject the notion that unofficial incomes are a compensation for below-the-market government salaries.

Yongheng Deng is a Professor and the John P. Morgridge Distinguished Chair in Business, in the Department of Real Estate and Urban Land Economics, Wisconsin School of Business, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before joining Wisconsin School of Business, Professor Deng has served as a Provost's Chair Professor of Real Estate and Finance, Director of the Institute of Real Estate Studies, and Head of the Department of Real Estate, at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He was also a Professor in the Department of Finance at NUS Business School, and Director of the Lifecycle Financing Research Program at NUS Global Asia Institute. Professor Deng was also a Professor at the University of Southern California (USC), School of Policy, Planning and Development, and the Marshall School of Business.

Professor Deng holds a Ph.D. in Economics from University of California at Berkeley, and a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Wharton Real Estate Center, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. While Professor Deng’s recent research interest is in evaluating conditions in Asian and China’s real estate markets; his research pertains to a wide variety of issues in residential and commercial real estate finance and capital market worldwide. That includes real estate related financial capital market and asset-backed security pricing and risk analysis, econometric analysis of competing risks of mortgage prepayment and default with unobserved heterogeneity.

Professor Deng has published his research works in leading economics and finance journals. Some of those journals include “Econometrica,” “Journal of Financial Economics,” “Journal of Urban Economics,” “Review of Finance,” “China Economic Review,” “European Economic Review,” “Capitalism and Society,” and “Real Estate Economics,” among others. Major global media have frequently cited his research works, for example, “Wall Street Journal,” “New York Times,” “Economist Magazine,” “Telegraph,” “Forbes,” “People’s Daily” (China), and more.

Nam Center Colloquium Series | Pop City: Korean Popular Culture and the Selling of Place (November 5, 2019 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65098 65098-16517510@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 5, 2019 4:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

Cosponsored by the Department of Communication and Media.

Pop City examines the use of Korean television dramas and K-pop music to promote urban and rural places in South Korea. Building on the phenomenon of Korean pop culture, Youjeong Oh argues that pop culture-featured place selling mediates two separate domains: political decentralization and the globalization of Korean popular culture. The local election system introduced in the mid 90s has stimulated strong desires among city mayors and county and district governors to develop and promote their areas. Riding on the Korean Wave—the overseas popularity of Korean entertainment, also called Hallyu—Korean cities have actively used K-dramas and K-pop idols in advertisements designed to attract foreign tourists to their regions. Hallyu, meanwhile, has turned the Korean entertainment industry into a speculative field into which numerous players venture by attracting cities as sponsors.

By analyzing the process of culture-featured place marketing, Pop City shows that urban spaces are produced and sold just like TV dramas and pop idols by promoting spectacular images rather than substantial physical and cultural qualities. Popular culture-associated urban promotion also uses the emotional engagement of its users in advertising urban space, just as pop culture draws on fans’ and audiences’ affective commitments to sell its products. Oh demonstrates how the speculative, image-based, and consumer-exploitive nature of popular culture shapes the commodification of urban space and ultimately argues that pop culture–mediated place promotion entails the domination of urban space by capital in more sophisticated and fetishized ways.

Youjeong Oh is Assistant Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Her topics of interest include urban processes in Korea and East Asia, development and social movement, Korean popular culture, and media and space.

Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists (November 6, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/67493 67493-16866586@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 6, 2019 10:00am
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum

Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut, painting on canvas, and mixed media, Linda Hyong, Sung Eun Hong, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers, gardens, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.

Linda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like, nearly abstract paintings, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”

Exhibit runs September 14 through November 15, 2019 at the

University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor. Free.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Lead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Center for Japanese Studies, Nam Center for Korean Studies, School of Information, and College of Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Fabrication Studio at the Duderstadt Center, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, and SeeMeCNC 3D Printers.

*****This event is FREE! *******
We want diverse perspectives to be available to all ♥

Liberty in North Korea at the University of Michigan is excited to invite two North Korean advocacy fellows from the LiNK HQ, Jeongyol Ri and Ilhyeok Kim, come to campus on November 6th, 2019!

Join us as they reflect on their first-hand experiences as North Korean escapees, and their adjustment after relocation.

━━
Jeongyol Ri was born in 1998, and spent his childhood in Pyongsong. Math was his most notable passion— by the time he was in elementary school, he had already in mastered a middle school math curriculum. He later went on to represent the the North Korean team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Over the course of four competitions, he had obtained a four silver medals. His success led the North Korean government to offer him a job, but he did not want to work for the regime. The Hong Kong IMO was Jeongyol’s last chance to defect while abroad; he was only 18 years old. While the rest of his team was packing for the return home, he snuck out and sought asylum at the South Korean consulate. In 2016 Jeongyol resettled in South Korea and in 2019 started Seoul National University.

Ilhyeok Kim was born in 1995 in Saetbyeol when the famine had just begun. As a result of the famine, his father became a broker who helped defectors in South Korea send money to relatives still in North Korea. When Ilhyeok was 12, his father was caught and imprisoned, but was eventually released for owning a Chinese cell phone. From that day onward, the government kept a close eye on his family. Despite the repercussions they would face if they escaped, they bravely decided to flee. In 2011 they arrived in South Korea. Ilhyeok aspires to work for the United Nations one day.

“Fashionable Myths and Unacknowledged Lessons”

Americans continue to remember the Vietnam War according to Hanoi wartime propaganda recycled via the anti-war movement into textbooks, documentaries, and talking heads. This has contributed to long-term effects of the war on domestic politics, foreign policy, and narratives of American history during the past half century. Does recent scholarship about the war allow a fresh perspective?

Olga Dror, Texas A&M University
“Civilians and Memories of Massacre.”

Communist forces massacred approximately 3,000 civilians in Hue City during the 1968 Tet Offensive. How and why did this happen, and why is it important for Americans to remember massacres committed by US troops but to ignore massacres committed by enemy forces? Memories of civilian massacres continue to influence history and politics in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Vietnamese diaspora.

Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, UMMA's exhibition Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. But what is the connection between copying and invention? How does the practice of copying an artist’s work increase a drawing student’s own creativity? How do computers look at works of art to learn how to emulate a particular artist’s style? Consider these questions along with Raj Rao Nadakuditi, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computers and expert in machine learning and signal processing; Jeff Evans, Clinical Associate Professor Emeritus of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Medical School, Lecturer in the Residential College, and scholar of the psychology of creativity; and Natsu Oyobe, UMMA Curator of Asian Art.

Copies and Invention in East Asia (November 12, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63517 63517-15769786@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 12, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Lead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Center for Japanese Studies, Nam Center for Korean Studies, School of Information, and College of Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Fabrication Studio at the Duderstadt Center, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, and SeeMeCNC 3D Printers.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Liu Liangmo (刘良模1909-1988) —Transpacific Mass Singing, Journalism, and Christian Activism (November 12, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63874 63874-15955827@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 12, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Professor Gao’s talk lifts out of the dustbin of history the life and career of Liu Liangmo, a talented musician, prolific journalist, and Christian activist. Liu agilely navigated slippery trans-Pacific political and ideological landscapes throughout the World War II and Cold War. After “coaxing the Chinese (civilians and soldiers) into mass signing” and helping to invent the new genre “songs of resistance” to promote national morale and unified resistance against Japan, Liu sojourned to the United States. There, despite close surveillance by the FBI, he formed an unusual alliance with African Americans by contributing a weekly column to the biggest black newspaper “Pittsburgh Courier” and cooperating with Paul Robeson, the world famous singer and actor, in popularizing Chinese songs of resistance. Robeson and Liu brought the future national anthem of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) into global circulation. Meanwhile, Liu traveled more than 100,000 miles to speak and sing about China to grassroots white Americans on behalf of the United China Relief. Later, as a top official representing Protestant denominations in the PRC, Liu helped to bring Christianity into line with the new regime, served China as its authoritative interpreter of the United States, and facilitated the alliance between the PRC and such African American cultural giants as W.E.B Du Bois, Shirley Graham Du Bois, and Paul Robeson.

Yunxiang Gao is Associate Professor of History at Ryerson University in Toronto. Her current research focuses primarily on trans-Pacific cultural history in World War II. Professor Gao’s book, “Sporting Gender: Women Athletes and Celebrity-Making during China’s National Crisis, 1931-1945,” appeared in 2013 with the University of British Columbia Press. She has published articles in “The Du Bois Review,” “Gender and History,” “The Journal of American East-Asian Relations,” “Modern Chinese Literature and Culture,” and “Sport in Society.” Several of her articles have been translated into Chinese. Currently, Professor Gao is finishing two books: One is entitled "Arise, Africa! Roar, China!: Sino-African-American Citizens of the World in the Twentieth Century." It focuses on the cultural network of Chinese and African Americans, including W.E.B Du Bois, Paul Robeson, Langston Hughes, actress Wang Yung, founder of mass singing Liu Liangmo, and modern dancer Sylvia Si-lan Chen; The other one is a biography tentatively entitled “Soo Yong (1903-1984): A Hollywood Actress and Cosmopolitan of the Asian Diasporas.”

Unruly Figures, Vernacular Idioms: Politics of Sexuality in India (November 12, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68964 68964-17203245@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 12, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

This talk reflects on the key interventions of Navaneetha Mokkil’s recently published book Unruly Figures: Queerness, Sex Work and the Politics of Sexuality in Kerala. Mokkil tracks the cultural practices through which sexual figures are produced in the public imagination and how these figures are accessed and deployed by marginalized sexual subjects, primarily the sex worker and the lesbian, as they stage their own fractured journeys of resistance in the post-1990s context of globalization. She argues that such intermedial and intertextual cultural traffic is the basis of a vernacular politics of sexuality.

By assembling and analyzing a Malayalam language archive, Mokkil demonstrates how vernacular formations of the politics of sexuality cannot be contained within scripts of visibility, rights, and recognition. Her explorations captures the need to revise politics in favor not of a set path but of one that holds within it different possibilities. Mourning and loss, failure, and rewriting are integral to such itinerant political topographies. This talk explores how we have to tactically reinvent categories of analysis so that we can engage with the unstable horizons of the
political.

Navaneetha Mokkil is an Assistant Professor at Center for Women’s Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Her areas of research and teaching include feminist politics in India, print and visual culture, and public formations of sexuality. She completed her PhD in English and Women’s Studies from the University of Michigan in 2010. She is the author of Unruly Figures: Queerness, Sex Work and the Politics of Sexuality in Kerala (2019, Seattle: University of Washington Press) and co- editor of Thinking Women: A Feminist Reader (2019, Kolkata: Stree Samya Publishers).

The events are generously sponsored by the Center for South Asian Studies; the Colonialism, Race, and Sexualities Initiative (CSRI) of the Institute for Research on Women & Gender; the Department of English Language & Literature; and, the Department of Women's Studies.
