“Space and Region in Research on East Asia”

Please join us TOMORROW, Friday, March 4th for a roundtable discussion jointly hosted with the East Asia: Transregional Histories workshop on the concepts of “Space and Region” as they relate to the work of our three discussants.  The discussants are Scott Aalgaard (PhD Student in EALC), Susan Su (PhD Student in EALC), and Nic Wong (PhD Student in Comparative Literature).  Preliminary remarks from each of our three panelists can be found by following this link.  We hope the transregional, transmedial, and interdisciplinary perspectives brought by our discussants will provide the grounds for a rich conversation on these topics that will highlight the commonalities and differences in our approaches to physical, cultural, and historical spaces.  We welcome you to join in the discussion.

From Xiao Jianqing, Manhua Shanghai (1936)

Friday, May 1, 3:00-5:00PM in CEAS 319 (1155 E 60th St)
Adhira Mangalagiri (PhD Candidate in Comparative Literature, University of Chicago)
“Slave of the Colonizer: Reading the Indian Literary Figure in Chinese Literature”

This Friday at 3:00PM, please join the Art and Politics of East Asia Workshop for a presentation by Adhira Mangalagiri, PhD candidate in the Department of Comparative Literature, on representations of colonial Indian policemen in Chinese literature written between 1900 and 1940. The Indian policeman is persistently present in China’s, particularly Shanghai’s, literary production during the colonial period. However, this Indian figure has so far been treated as a historical figure, his function in literary texts often explained merely by accounting for the historical forces underlying his presence on the streets of Shanghai. Using postcolonial and psychoanalytic lineages of critical thought, Adhira argues that the Indian policeman is not simply a historical artifact lurking in the backgrounds of texts. Rather, she argues that he is a central feature of the Chinese literary psyche and is crucial for reading colonial anxieties in the short stories and novels of the period.

A draft of the chapter is available at this link. If you have not received the password for the post, please feel free to contact Nicholas Lambrecht at lambrecht at uchicago.edu. Light refreshments will be served at the workshop. We look forward to seeing you on Friday!

 Friday, April 10, 3:00-5:00PM in CEAS 319 (1155 E 60th St)

“The Place of History in Scholarship on Asian Literature and Film Studies”

This Friday at 3:00PM, please join the Art and Politics of East Asia Workshop for a discussion on the role of history in scholarship on Asian literature and film. The workshop will serve as an occasion to exchange experiences and ideas on how different approaches to history and the writing of history can fit (or might not fit) into projects on Asian topics, as well as how history informs our understanding of specific texts or phenomena, poses theoretical and practical problems, or imposes constraints on research. Starting points suggested by those leading the discussion are available here; they hope that this cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural, and cross-media approach will reveal shared challenges or assumptions worthy of reexamination, thus fostering further exchange and collaboration. Participants are welcome to send their own thoughts to the workshop organizers in advance, or simply show up at the workshop and join the discussion.

Light refreshments will be served at the workshop. Please contact Nicholas Lambrecht at lambrecht at uchicago.edu if you have concerns about accessibility. We look forward to seeing you on Friday!
