SUMMARY:The Rise\, Transformation\, and Fall of Liberalism in India: 1800-1950
DESCRIPTION:The India China Institute\, and History at the New School for Social Research and Eugene Lang College are very please to present: \n\n\n\nThe Inaugural Carol Breckenridge Annual Memorial Lecture in South Asian History. \n\n\n\nThe Rise\, Transformation\, and Fall of Liberalism in India: 1800-1950 \n\n\n\nDelivered by Christopher Bayly \n\n\n\nChristopher Bayly is a Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History and part of the Faculty of History at the University of Cambridge. As a historian and scholar of global cultures\, Carol Breckenridge (1942-2009) brought along with her to different cities and campuses not only her erudition and insight into intellectual debates on global and transnational issues\, but also her formidable gift of inspiring others through a rare combination of charm\, generosity of spirit\, hospitality\, and hard work. The journal Public Culture which she founded in 1988 with her husband and soulmate Arjun Appadurai\, the later Sister Cities Project\, and the articles and books she wrote and co-edited with colleagues\, have brought new perceptions to the field and remain as evidence of her unstinting efforts against the stultifying effects of academic parochialism on the world at large. At the New School for Social Research and at other departments and universities where Carol and Arjun have lived and taught\, Breckenridge will be remembered for the way she personified these very commitments by her concern and care for her junior colleagues and students\, even while\, as in more recent times\, she was courageously coping with physical challenges of her own. Mentor\, scholar\, and friend\, she will be sadly missed.

SUMMARY:The Country is Yours: Contemporary Nepali Literature
DESCRIPTION:The India China Institute invites you to a reading of selections from The Country is Yours: Contemporary Nepali Literature by Manjushree Thapa. Friday\, 4 September\, 2009 6:30-8:00PM Wollman Hall 65 W 11th Street The New School \n\n\n\nThe Country is Yours: Contemporary Nepali Literature Translated and introduced by Manjushree Thapa \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModern Nepali literature started in the 1930s. As a response to state censorship\, one group of high modernists sought to locate human freedom in the play of language. Another group wrote more directly in favor of social justice. From these pioneers emerged the ‘democrats’ and the ‘progressives’\, the distinctions between who have gradually blurred since the re-establishment of democracy in 1990. The Country Is Yours is a collection of contemporary Nepali literature. Organized in four sections- ‘The Perplexity of Living’\, ‘The Right to Desire’\, ‘The Imminent Liberation’ and ‘Visions’- the stories and poems of the 49 writers included here offer a view onto the upheavals of Nepali Society\, Politics and Identity leading up to and after 1990. They also speak of the universal joys and sorrows of the human condition. Translated and introduced by Manjushree Thapa\, this volume sensitively captures the spirit of a society at the threshold of transformation. Manjushree Thapa is a writer from Nepal\, the author of many well-received books of fiction and nonfiction. Her essays and opinions have appeared widely in the Nepali and international media\, including in the New York Times. Her fiction titles are Tilled Earth\, a collection of short stories about Nepalis and the Nepali diaspora; The Tutor of History\, a novel set in a small highway town in Nepal during a general election; and the upcoming Seasons of Flight\, a novel about a Nepali woman who wins the US government’s diversity visa lottery and lands in Los Angeles. Her non-fiction titles are Forget Kathmandu\, a personal account of Nepal’s political upheavals\, with reportage on the Maoist insurgency; Mustang Bhot in Fragments\, a travelogue to villages on the Nepal-Tibet border; and the upcoming A Boy from Siklis\, a biography of the groundbreaking Nepali environmentalist Chandra Gurung. Her oeuvre includes several titles of literary translations\, including Secret Places: New Writing from Nepal\, published by the University of Hawai’i Press\, which she co-edited.”

SUMMARY:Emerging Exchanges: New Architectures of India
DESCRIPTION:India’s architectural and urban landscape is being remade in unexpected and exuberant ways at this defining moment in its history. New economic growth\, proliferation of media technologies\, transnational modes of production\, as well as new state and social dynamics are presenting challenges to the entrenched traditions and extraordinary diversity of India. Modern architecture in India\, represented by the seminal practices of Balkrishna Doshi\, Charles Correa\, Raj Rewal and others have long been on a world stage\, however the present moment is marked by new ideological and ideational shifts away from early modernist positions. The Delhi/Ahmedabad axis has moved east and south to Mumbai and Bangalore\, which now includes a new generation of architects\, both Indian and international\, who are involved in a diverse range of practices and productions that are re-imagining entrenched histories of both modernities and traditions. Centrifugal and centripetal dynamics characterizes contemporary practices where many architects look to balance global and transnational imperatives as well as more situated approaches to building. The circulation of these inward and outward movements has resulted in both the glittering towers that reproduce the Special Economic Zones of Shanghai or Dubai as an enclave in a landscape of contested territories and economic disparities. At the same time\, some architects are engaged in emplaced material practices related to landscape\, siting\, local building fabrication\, and programming\, which has led to reconsidering new regionalisms and the informal sector.The Architectural League of New York\, the India China Institute and Parsons The New School for Design plan a two-day conference to probe these material economies and territorial intersections in Indian architecture today. These circuits and realignments will be examined by keynote speakers\, project presentations and interdisciplinary panels in order to present a body of emerging architectural practices\, while unraveling the forces of the larger cultural and social dynamics that these projects generate\, concentrate and disperse. \n\n\n\nDownload Full Conference Agenda

SUMMARY:The Disinterested Government: An Interpretation of China’s Economic Success in the Reform Area
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Professor Yao Yang\, China Center for Economic Research\, Beijing University & ICI Fellow. \n\n\n\nIn the last 30 years\, China has reached high economic growth and successfully transformed itself from a planning economy to a market economy. To a large extent\, China has achieved its successes by adopting the recommendations proposed by the standard economic theory. However\, a political economy question has been left out in the literature: Why has China adopted the right economic policies and a proper road to reform? This talk attempts to provide an answer to this question. \n\n\n\nDiscussion Moderated by: Jianying Zha\, ICI Representative in China & author. \n\n\n\nDr. Yao obtained his B.S. in geography in 1986 and M.S. of Economics in 1989 both from Peking University. He obtained his Ph.D. in Development Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1996. Dr. Yao has been following issues of land acquisition\, ownership transformation\, and migration in China for the past decade. Yao has taught economics at various institutions in China\, Japan\, and the United States. In addition\, he has served as a consultant to the World Bank and participated in numerous contemporary debates about China’s economic reform. Yao writes widely in the popular and academic in China and is a respected authority on rural development

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Still Life
DESCRIPTION:Grand Prize winner at the 2006 Venice Film Festival! In “Still Life” the blood and the sweat run directly into the Yangtze River\, where they mingle with more than a few tears. The movie takes place amid the clatter and misery of the Three Gorges Dam\, which cuts across the Yangtze in central China. The largest dam in the world\, Three Gorges is a site of great cultural and political strife because of both environmental and humanitarian concerns. This may sound like a prescription for social cinema\, but director Jia Zhang-ke’s interest lies in visual ideas and human behavior\, not agendas. \n\n\n\nKristine Harris (PhD\, Columbia University) is Associate Professor of Chinese History and Director of the Asian Studies Program at the State University of New York. In Spring 2007 she was Visiting Associate Professor in Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Chicago. She has also taught at the New School for Social Research. Her research explores the social and political facets of film culture in China from the 1890’s to the present\, with emphasis on the pre-1949 period. Her publications include The Metropolis in the Cinematic Imagination of Republican China and the City Symphony Film\,” In Dushi wenhua zhong de xiandai zhongguo 都市文化中的现代中国 [Popular Culture of the Modern Metropolis] (Shanghai: East China Normal University Press\, 2007) and “The Goddess: Fallen Woman of Shanghai\,” in Chinese Films in Focus (BFI 2003\, 2008). “
