SUMMARY:Peronism and Orientalism: The Reconfiguration of Geopolitical Visions in the Early Cold War
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is based on personal writings\, memories\, articles and documents of Argentine diplomats who played a relevant role in foreign relations of Argentina with Asian countries and international organizations between 1945 and 1949. These testimonies reflect the cultural mindsets\, perceptions and ways of understanding East-West relations that shaped Argentina´s geopolitical visions of the postwar order\, at a time in which fundamental transformations in domestic politics were also taking place.Peronism partly opened the gates to a renovation of foreign policy\, reformulating its traditional orientations under the “Third Position” paradigm. However\, its worldview kept some of the traditional and conservative perceptions of ”Orient”. These will become evident in their overt support to Cold War Western anticommunism. \n\n\n\nFabián Bosoer is an Argentine political scientist and journalist. He is a professor of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Tres de Febrero and Latinamerican Social Sciences Faculty (FLACSO). He is a columnist\, editorial writer and Op-Ed editor of the newspaper Clarín\, in Buenos Aires. He has published the books Generals and Ambassadors: A History of the Parallel Diplomacies in Argentina (Vergara\, 2005)\, The Falkland Islands\, The Final Chapter: War and Diplomacy in Argentina (Capital Intellectual-Claves para todos\, 2007)\, Braden vs. Peron: The Hidden History (El Ateneo\, 2011) and Behind Peron: Life and Legend of Admiral Teisaire (Capital Intellectual\, 2013).

SUMMARY:Poverty\, Inequality\, and Social Policy in China: Polarization or Harmony? w/ Qin Gao
DESCRIPTION:Poverty\, Inequality\, and Social Policy in China: Polarization or Harmony?\n\n\n\n\n\nPublic talk by Qin Gao\nAssociate Professor at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Service\nVisiting Scholar at The India China Institute\n \n\nMonday\, March 17th 5pm – 6:30pm\nTheresa Lang Center\, 55 W. 13th St.\, 2nd Fl.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBio: Qin Gao is an Associate Professor at Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service\, a Research Associate at Columbia University Population Center\, and currently a Visiting Scholar at the India China Institute at the New School University. Dr. Gao’s research examines poverty\, income inequality\, social welfare policies\, and family economic and subjective well-being in China and cross-nationally.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTalk Synopsis: China has had the world’s greatest poverty reduction during the past 30 years\, yet alongside this remarkable achievement are rapidly growing income inequality and many emerging welfare needs that threat its sustained development and political stability. Is China truly close to eliminating poverty? How unequal is the Chinese society? How have social policies in China evolving and to what extent are they addressing citizens’ welfare needs? When both market and social policy forces are considered\, is China more polarized or harmonized? In this talk\, Dr. Gao will examine these questions building on her extensive research on these topics using both empirical data and critical analysis. We anticipate a stimulating\, interdisciplinary discussion among economists\, political scientists\, sociologists\, anthropologists\, social policy scholars\, and anyone who is interested in China studies or cross-national comparisons.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nModerator: Mark Frazier\, Co-Academic Director\, India China Institute\n\n\n\nDiscussant: Dr. Carl Riskin\, Distinguished Professor of Economics\, CUNY Queens College\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Invisible Villages & Flying Monsters: Folktales About Place Among the Tibetans of Geza
DESCRIPTION:Invisible Villages & Flying Monsters:\nFolktales About Place Among the Tibetans of Geza\n \nPublic Talk by Eric Mortensen \nWednesday\, February 19\, 20145-6:30PM55 W. 13th St.\, 2nd Fl.\, Dorothy Hirshon Suite \nThe mountains of Geza are awash in old tales about invisible villages and wild people (Tibetan: nags myi rgod).  This presentation assesses the oral performances of nags myi rgod stories\, with a focus on the specific stories surrounding the flying monster called the myi rgod shung shung.  In the Tibetan communities of Geza Township in rGyalthang (Xianggelila County of Northwest Yunnan Province)\, such stories are tied to the cultural memory of local geography\, including the invisible village of Panlung\, which can be heard but not seen. \nSpecifically\, this project compares twenty six variant nags myi rgod stories and interview information about nags myi rgod collected and digitally recorded on four separate fieldwork trips to the Geza villages of Langdu\, Gönpa\, Geza (brgya rtsa)\, Nagara\, and gter ma rong village in neighboring Dongwang. Although nags myi rgod (& Chinese ye ren) stories are widespread throughout Tibet and the Himalayas\, several of the stories from Geza contain variant descriptions of an invisible village called Panlung. In the stories\, a mushroom gatherer or herder – who was often identified as a relative of the storyteller – would stop in wonder and hear the rushing water and agricultural sounds typical of village life\, but the village could (at least initially) not be seen. Nags myi rgod\, who live in the forests looking down on the bucolic invisible village\, mischievously invert human farming efforts and hunting practices and thereby make the village of Panlung uninhabitable\, even for those lucky enough to breakthrough the invisible meniscus and see or enter the valley with its perfect pasturage and farmland. The stories involve frightful encounters with nags myi rgod\, and longer tales recount how clever hunters or farmers trick the nags myi rgod\, and escape being killed (through being tickled to death\, squeezed\, or pulverized by a nags myi rgod’s armpit stone) or used as a mate. Some families in the region maintain the surname Panlung\, and consider themselves refugees from the invisible village. Panlung\, also known as Zayzong in Nagara (zay zong is near to Bala) and Natöeyong in Dongwang\, appears in many of the stories with the refugee element as the most common theme. \nThe centerpiece of the project is a comparative analysis of the performative function and cultural meaning of the invisible village in story. What does it mean for individuals to be refugees from an invisible dystopian village while facing current cultural\, economic\, and religious repression related to the land itself? In the context of this oral tradition\, why\, when\, by whom\, and to who are these stories of inversion and reversal told? [Degh 1958; Doniger 1998] To what degree are the performances of nags myi rgod tales subversive\, intended for cultural maintenance\, or simply fun for children? How can the variant tales inform upon the interrelated dynamics of place\, identity\, lament\, and memory? [Mueggler\, 2001].  As the myi rgod shung shung story is directly tied to features of the landscape of Geza\, how do the performances of these stories contribute to local identity and inform upon the imagining of inhabitation of wildspace in this rapidly changing region? \nEric Mortensen is currently an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Guilford College\, located in Greensboro\, NC. He complete his undergraduate studies at Carlton College and had the opportunity to study abroad in Beijing\, Nepal\, India\, and Bhutan. Upon graduating in 1993\, he spent his graduate career at Harvard\, where he studied languages\, anthropology\, religion\, folklore\, and history for ten years. During this time\, he grew to love teaching and Asia\, further fostering an academic interest in Tibetology. These two loves drew him to Guilford and its Religious Studies Department. Although he does not hold a degree in religious studies\, he has made religion his specialty through his focused research on Buddhist religion and culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefreshments will be served. Seating is limited – RSVP is required. RSVP Now. \n\n \nDownload Event Poster [PDF]

SUMMARY:The Great Hydraulic Transition: Modern Origins of Land and Rivers in South Asia w/ Prof. Rohan D'Souza
DESCRIPTION:Development\, Though and Policy Lecture Series Presents: \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n       The Great Hydraulic Transition: Modern Origins of Land and Rivers in South Asia \n\n\n\n Presented by: Rohan D’Souza\, Assistant Professor\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Delhi\, India  \n\n\n\n Thursday\, December 12 \n\n\n\n66 West 12th Street\, Room 513 \n\n\n\n4:00 P.M. – 6:00 P.M. \n\n\n\nThis seminar is co-hosted by GPIA and The India China Institute \n\n\n\n      Please RSVP to development.newschool@gmail.com \n\n\n\nDownload event flyer here (PDF) \n\n\n\nAbstract: Most writings on lands and rivers in South Asia have disingenuously accepted the “politics of separations.” Land as property and river as resource\, thus\, are overwhelmingly recognized as distinct conceptual domains. Histories about land settlements\, rent extraction\, the burdens of revenue\, legal ownership\, or the commons have occupied discussions only as the political economy of the soil. Rivers\, on the other hand\, became a technical subject involving infrastructure and the biographies of engineering and control. Professor D’Souza will argue that this politics of separations acquired a defining force in the region only through the course of the long nineteenth century. An amphibian South Asia with its soil-water admixtures actually characterized its environmental and social worlds before being transformed into the reptilian terrain of colonial modernity. \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Rohan D’Souza is Assistant Professor at the Centre for Studies in Science Policy and the author of Drowned and Dammed: Colonial Capitalism and Flood Control in Eastern India (1803-1946)\, Oxford University Press\, 2006. His edited books include The British Empire and the Natural World: Environmental Encounters in South Asia (Oxford University Press\, 2011) and Environment\, Technology and Development: Critical and Subversive Essays (Orient BlackSwan: Hyderabad\, 2012). His interests and research publications cover themes in environmental history\, environmental politics\, non-traditional security\, sustainable development and modern technology. \n\n\n\nChair: Manjari Mahajan\, Assistant Professor of International Affairs\, New School University \n\n\n\nDiscussants: Nikhil Anand\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Geography\, University of Minnesota and Fellow\, Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton\, and Vyjayanthi Rao\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, New School University

The event will be moderated by Mark Frazier\, Professor of Politics at NSSR and Academic Co-director of ICI. More details to follow. \n\n\n\nRSVP requested for event. RSVP now.\n\n\n\nWronged by Empire breaks new ground by blending this historical phenomenon\, colonialism\, with mixed methods—including archival research\, newspaper data mining\, and a new statistical method of content analysis—to explain the foreign policy choices of India and China: two countries that are continuously discussed but very rarely rigorously compared. By reference to their colonial past\, Manjari Chatterjee Miller explains their puzzling behavior today. For example\, she demonstrates why in important cases (such as India going nuclear in 1998 or China’s fraught relationship with Japan) their foreign policy behavior is not consistent with the security explanations that are dominant in international relations. \n\n\n\nMore broadly\, she argues that the transformative historical experience of a large category of actors—ex-colonies\, who have previously been neglected in the study of international relations—can be used as a method to categorize states in the international system. In the process Miller offers a more inclusive way to analyze states than do traditional theories of international relations\, which usually focus on the material power of states\, meaning inevitably that they mostly discuss the behavior of states that have power enough to matter—in effect Western states. \n\n\n\nManjari Chatterjee Miller is Assistant Professor of International Relations at Boston University.

SUMMARY:Returning to the History of 19th and Early 20th Century Immigration - Ranabir Samaddar
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce an upcoming public talk by Dr. Ranabir Samaddar\, Director of the Calcutta Research Group on “Returning to the History of 19th and Early 20th Century Immigration.” The event will be moderated by Professor Mark Frazier\, Professor of Politics at NSSR and Academic Co-Director of ICI. You can find an outline of Professor Samaddar’s talk below.\n\n\n\nRecent studies on aspects of welfare state and schemes suggest a different way of understanding modern governance in which the study of the nation is not at the centre of political understanding. Instead\, of significance in such studies is the inadequately explored history of governing a mobile\, unruly world of population flows. These works have given us a sense of the hidden histories of conflicts\, of desperate survivals\, and of networks new and old. Studies of hunger in the nineteenth century\, of itinerant movements and preaching\, transportations of coolies\, spread of famines\, shipping of children and adult girls\, trafficking in sex and labour\, and pieces of welfare legislation to cope with this great infamy tell us how actually we have arrived at our own time of subject formation. This is certainly different from conventional nation-centred histories. Working within this new strand of history-writing\, labour historians have tried to recognise the political significance of labour migration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Their works suggest a different way of writing the history of the nation-form in the last two centuries\, where the extra-nationalist narrative of mobile labour constitutes a different universe. \n\n\n\nThe late nineteenth and early twentieth century was the period of several changing modes of labour process – the slave\, the indentured\, the contract\, and finally the free. These modes historically never appeared as pure types\, because much of the availability of labour depended on labour’s mobility. In fact\, it was largely on the condition of making labour mobile that globalisation would proceed at that time. Transit labour then too\, as it does now\, occupied a crucial place in capitalist production. The late nineteenth and early twentieth century was a period of globalisation when migration controls were put in place. It was in that age that control of mobile bodies began constituting one of the most critical aspects of governance. The emergence of some of the different forms of labour subjectivities marking our world today can be traced back to that time. \n\n\n\n\nDiscussants will include: \nVictoria Hattam\, Professor of Politics at The New School for Social Research\nPaula Banerjee\, Associate Professor\, Dept. of South and Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Calcutta\n \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for the event is requested.

SUMMARY:International Relations Theory: Views Beyond the West Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Julien J. Studley Fund and the India China Institute present: \n\n\n\nInternational Relations Theory: Views Beyond the West\n\n\n\nMonday 14 OctoberTheresa Lang Community and Student Center (55 W 13th St.) \n\n\n\nThis conference reflects a textbook project for International Relations (IR).  It seeks to amend two main problems in contemporary IR theorizing: \n\n\n\n(1) The widespread division of labor in IR whereby “the West”/“the Center” produces theories deemed universal and “non-Western”/“out-of-Center” scholars serve only as native informants when localities deviate from the status quo. \n\n\n\n(2) The lack of concepts\, debates\, and authors from the Global South that address their issues and challenges\, obligations\, and aspirations. \n\n\n\nThe conference/project does not seek particularism\, but allows for and gives legitimacy to different claims of universalism. We propose\, in short\, to voice other kinds of IR: that is\, how the Global South and the Global North co-make world politics into what it is today. \n\n\n\nStudents of IR from the Global North and Global South will benefit from this conference/project. Global North students will learn why the Global South experiences “the international” differently but also where some important commonalities may lie. Global South students will finally have a text that speaks to them for them\, with concepts and examples that are familiar\, and with their needs taken into consideration. Ultimately\, this conference/project will help all students develop lives and careers in a globalizing context. \n\n\n\nSpeakers and panelists include: \n\n\n\nJulien J. Studley Graduate Program in International Affairs Professor L.H.M. Ling; Payal Banerjee\, Smith College; Navnita Behera\, University of Delhi; Cristina Inoue\, University of Brasília; Nizar Messari\, Al Akhawayn University; Joao Noguira\, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro; Karen Smith\, University of Cape Town; and Arlene Tickner\, Universidad de los Andes. \n\n\n\nFor the full program click here.

SUMMARY:Food and Immigrant Life: The Role of Food in Forced Migration\, Migrant Labor\, and Recreating Home
DESCRIPTION:Day 1: Tishman Auditorium\, 66 W 12 St.\, First FlDay 2: Theresa Lang Center\, 55 W 13th St.\, Second Fl. \n\n\n\nThis conference will examine the complex relationships between food\, migration\, and immigration. Food scarcity is not only at the root of much human displacement and migration. The food industry also offers migrants an entry point into the U.S. economic system while\, simultaneously\, confines migrants to low wages and poor\, if not unsafe\, work conditions. In addition\, food is a primary vehicle for migrants to maintain their cultural identity\, which is so important to displaced peoples. Thisconference is an opportunity to firmly place issues of immigration and food service work in the context of a broader social justice agenda and to explore the central role food plays in expressing rich cultural heritage.The keynote address will be given by Dolores Huerta\, co-founder and first Vice President Emeritus of United Farm Workers of America\, on Thursday\, April 18 at 6:00pm. \n\n\n\nConfirmed speakers are Aurora Almendral\, Sean Basinski\, Yong Chen\, James Hathaway\, Ellen Ernst Kossek\, Saru Jayaraman\, Arup Maharatna\, Fabio Parasecoli\, Dwaine Plaza\, Krishnendu Ray\, Monique Truong\, Koko Warner\, and Jane Ziegelman. Visit the online program for all details. \n\n\n\nThe New School’s Center for Public Scholarship and the Food Studies Program presents this\, the 29th Social Research conference\, in collaboration with the Writing Program\, India China Institute\, Vera List Center for Art and Politics\, Center for New York City Affairs\, Global Studies Program\, Gender Studies Program\, and International Center for Migration\, Ethnicity\, and Citizenship (ICMEC).Visit the event website for up-to-date program information\, speaker biographies\, paper abstracts\, and ticket information at www.newschool.edu/cps/food.

SUMMARY:The Cultural Foundations of Chinese Communism: Mining the Anyuan Revolutionary Tradition
DESCRIPTION:How do we explain the surprising trajectory of the Chinese Communist revolution? Why has it taken such a different route from its Russian prototype? \n\n\n\nAn answer\, Elizabeth Perry suggests\, lies in the Chinese Communists’ creative deployment of cultural resources – during their revolutionary rise to power and afterward. Skillful “cultural positioning” and “cultural patronage” on the part of Mao Zedong\, his comrades\, and successors helped to construct a polity in which a foreign political system came to be accepted as familiarly “Chinese.” Illustrated by numerous colorful images\, Perry’s talk traces this process through a case study of the Anyuan coal mine\, where Mao and other early Communist leaders mobilized an influential labor movement at the beginning of their revolution. Once known as “China’s Little Moscow\,” Anyuan came over time to serve as a touchstone of “political correctness” that symbolized a distinctively Chinese revolutionary tradition. Perry explores the contested meanings of that tradition as contemporary Chinese debate their revolutionary past in search of a new political future. \n\n\n\nElizabeth J.

SUMMARY:Jai Bhim Comrade: Film Screening and Conversation with Anand Patwardhan\, India's Leading Documentary Filmmaker
DESCRIPTION:India China Institute and School of Media Studies at The New School invite you to a screening of the award-winning film\, Jai Bhim Comrade\,and a conversation with Anand Patwardhan. Nidhi Srinivas (Associate Professor of Nonprofit Management at Milano\, The New School) will chair a discussion following the event. Sumita Chakravarty (Associate Professor of Culture and Media\, The New School) and Toral Gajarawala (Assitant Professor of English at NYU\, and an expert on Dalit issues) will serve as discussants. \n\n\n\nAbout Jai Bhim Comrade \n\n\n\nFor thousands of years India’s Dalits were abhorred as “untouchables” denied education and treated as bonded labor. By 1923 Bhimrao Ambedkar broke the taboo\, won doctorates abroad and fought for the emancipation of his people. He drafted India’s Constitution\, led his followers to discard Hinduism for Buddhism. His legend still spreads through poetry and song. \n\n\n\nIn 1997 a statue of Dr. Ambedkar in a Dalit colony in Mumbai was desecrated with footwear. As angry residents gathered\, police opened fire killing 10. Vilas Ghogre\, a leftist poet\, hung himself in protest. \n\n\n\nJai Bhim Comrade\, shot over 14 years\, follows the poetry and music of people like Vilas and marks a subaltern tradition of reason that from the days of the Buddha\, has fought superstition and religious bigotry. \n\n\n\nReviews of the film are available on the film’s website. \n\n\n\nAnand PatwardhanAnand Patwardhan is India’s leading documentary filmmaker. For over four decades his investigative documentaries have charted life in modern India\, from the nature of its economic development to the power of nationalism and religious fundamentalism\, and the struggles by the poor and the marginalized for justice. It has taken legal action\, including a decision by India’s Supreme Court\, to prevent successive Indian governments from censoring his films and blocking them from being screened.

SUMMARY:India China Interactions: Second Interdisciplinary Symposium for Emerging Scholars on India China Studies
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event is by invitation only. Please contact indiachina@newschool.edu if you would like to attend. Due to space limitations we are unable to accommodate all requests.\n\n\n\nThe Second Interdisciplinary Symposium for Emerging Scholars on India China Studies is part of ICI’s continuing commitment to build a community of scholars who are engaged in research that focuses on new and innovative approaches to understanding India-China relations. Presenters selected for this symposium share a broad interest in India-China relations in a globalizing world. Held in conjunction with India China Institute’s major spring 2013 conference\, Everyday Religion and Sustainable Environments in the Himalaya\, the symposium will provide a platform for a select group of early career scholars from India\, China\, and the United States to present their work and to participate in multi-disciplinary investigation and deliberation with distinguished scholars. \n\n\n\nWhen discussing the work of each of the presenters\, we hope to identify relevant methodological and substantive questions\, and where possible answers\, through a productive confrontation of diverse disciplinary perspectives. Relevant cross-cutting themes will include that of the role to be played by received and privileged spatial and institutional frames\, such as that of the nation-state\, in scholarly analyses within the field\, and that of how to relate historical and contemporary concerns while avoiding anachronistic fallacies.We hope that the symposium will provide a milestone in the intellectual definition and institutional development of the field\, enhance the sense of community within it\, and help to foster more productive directions for teaching and scholarship. \n\n\n\nPreliminary Symposium Agenda
