The sudden unexpected demise of Penn’s distinguished Japanologist William R. LaFleur in February 2010 deprived us of a major voice in the fields of Japanese religion, literature, culture, and recently and perhaps most importantly, bioethics.  At this conference, we will explore our colleague’s posthumous works, which range widely across these fields.  We will also spotlight his original poetry.  

The title of this conference is derived from Bill’s translation of one of the poems of the medieval Japanese monk Saigyō: “So, then, it’s the one / who has thrown his self away / who is thought the loser? / But he who cannot lose self / is the one who is really lost.” The gathering will be a memorial for the one whom we have lost, but it will also be an occasion to question our own positions in relation to this individual and his body of work. In discussing this poem, Bill notes that the literary critic Kobayashi Hideo credited Saigyō with “opening totally new territory, a place no one had entered before.”

Bill’s work has similarly been recognized for going to new places and broaching unprecedented questions. This conference aims to recall that legacy, see where it was going at the end, and craft plans for carrying it forward. 

Dr. Yong Cai is a social demographer who studies social change and social inequality from a demographic perspective, often with a strong empirical focus on China. He is currently working on several projects that examine China's fertility change in the context of emerging global low fertility, aiming at facilitating China to transit away from its "one-child" policy and the eventual return of reproductive freedom to Chinese people.

Contact John Wilcox by Thursday, September 29, 2011 to set up a meeting before or after the presentation or to join Dr. Cai for lunch. Lunch will held immediately following the colloquium at the
University Club at Penn.

China’s rise is reshaping international relations and triggering policy adjustments throughout East Asia and beyond.  What does China’s rise mean for Taiwan?  How has Taiwan responded to the challenges posed by China’s rise?  What are the implications of China’s ascension and Taiwan’s policy responses for the United States and U.S. policy toward the region?

In East Asia today, continental and maritime alliances face each other, reviving a pattern from the 1950s. The balance of power is changing rapidly in the region, primarily reflecting the rise of China. What is the impact on alignments in East Asia? Traditional balance-of-power realism, power transition models, and strategic triangle theories provide conflicting answers. A synthetic model better captures the dynamics of alliance shifts in East Asia. Rapprochement across the Taiwan Straits since Ma Ying-jeou became president provides a principal example of the changing regional dynamics. What is the essence of Ma’s policy towards mainland China? What direction will it take if power continues to shift in China’s favor? Is Taipei pursuing hedging, pivot-playing, or bandwagoning?  Is Taiwan’s strategy sustainable?

Mr. Myeng K Ha, Commissioner for the Busan Jinhae Free Economic Zone Authority, Korea, will present on BJFEZ's concept, mission and vision in the context of international affairs, business and the dynamics of an international organization.  Prior to speaking at Penn he will address the Fall Symposium of the Institute for Korean American Studies at the Rayburn House Office Building, US House of Representatives in Washington, DC.  The BJFEZ is one of the most dynamic and vibrant free economic zones in Asia.

Professor Hsueh will discuss her new book, China’s Regulatory State: A New Strategy for Globalization (Cornell University Press, 2011).  Today, China is governed by a new economic model that marks a radical break from the Mao and Deng eras. The new China departs fundamentally from that of the East Asian developmental state and its Communist past. But it is not a liberal economic model. How can China retain elements of a statist economic model when it has liberalized foreign direct investment more than any other major developing country in recent years? How can it retain state control over critical sectors and meet commitments made in its accession to the World Trade Organization? What does this mode of economic integration reveal about China’s state capacity and development strategy? In this seminar, Professor Hsueh will address these questions, arguing that China has complemented liberalization at the economy-wide level with selective reregulation at the sectoral level. This mode of economic integration contrasts with the manifestly different approaches to globalization found in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.  Professor Hsueh’s presentation will be followed by commentary on her book by Professor Yuhua Wang of the University of Pennsylvania Department of Political Science.

In her presentation at the CEAS Humanities Colloquium at Penn, Horiguchi will demonstrate how women’s actions and representations of women’s bodies redrew the border and expanded, rather than transcended, the empire of Japan.

Based on a chapter from her book, Women Adrift: The Literature of Japan’s Imperial Body (forthcoming from the University of Minnesota Press, December 2011), Horiguchi specifically analyzes the boundary-crossing writings of a prominent female author Hayashi Fumiko (1904–1951). In Hayashi’s writings—and in Naruse Mikio’s postwar film adaptations of Hayashi’s novels—Horiguchi reveals how women asserted their own agency by transgressing the borders of nation and gender. At the same time, we see how Hayashi’s work, conducted under various colonial conditions, ended up reinforcing Japanese nationalism, racialism, and imperial expansion. In her reappraisal of the paradoxical positions of Hayashi and her female characters, Horiguchi complicates narratives of Japanese empire and of women’s role in its expansion.

Friday Workshop & Reception: Free Library of Philadelphia, Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine St, Philadelphia, PA, 19104

Saturday Symposium: University of Pennsylvania, Claudia Cohen Hall,
G17 Auditorium (entrance at rear of building) , 249 South 36th Street, Philadelphia, PA

In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Penn Libraries are pleased to announce the 4th annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. This year's symposium will explore a range of issues relating to Asian reading and writing cultures, especially as they pertain to the manuscript source. Our focus will be on Asian manuscripts from the Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian traditions. We will bring together scholars representing these traditions to examine the ways in which hand-produced texts shape both meaning and interpretation, and to a larger extent, the cultural norms that define their use.  We will also consider the role that modern digital technology can play to facilitate the study of manuscripts today.

An addition to the program this year is the Friday afternoon workshop: Bringing Out the Best from Your Collections:  Ask the Experts!, to be held Friday, October 21, 2-5 pm, at the Free Library of Philadelphia (Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine St, Philadelphia, PA, Room 108).  This workshop is geared especially toward librarians and curators who oversee collections of Asian manuscript material but is open to anyone who wishes to learn more about caring for and interpreting these fascinating and often little understood objects.

From individuals tagging graffiti to mass candlelight vigils, from popular remembrances of the Korean War to ritual observances at monuments, the so-called ‘public space’ has been fertile ground for Koreans to present their visions of the past, present, and future. 

This conference provides an opportunity to reassess and reconfigure existing frameworks regarding public action (by individuals and groups) by inviting papers that advance our understanding of the role of public space in Korean society and culture. 

This conference is made possible with funding from the Academy of Korean Studies, as well as the generous support of the James Joo-Jin Kim Program in Korean Studies and the Center for East Asian Studies at U. of Pennsylvania.  The organizers are Nicholas Harkness (Harvard U.) and Saeyoung Park (U. of Pennsylvania).

Bob (Xiqiu) Fu and a group of Chinese human rights lawyers and scholars will be speaking as part of the China and International Human Rights Seminar and Colloquium Series. Bob and his delegation will address religious freedom and human rights, covering issues of Chinese law and implications for U.S. foreign policy.

Bob Fu is the founder and President of ChinaAid, a non-profit organization that focuses on religious persecution in China, especially on unofficial “house churches” in China. Mr. Fu was the pastor of a house church and, along with his wife, imprisoned for “illegal evangelism.” He has written on religious persecution and human rights in China and testified before the House International Relations Committee, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China and the UN Commission on Human Rights.

Amy Gadsden is associate dean and executive director for international programs at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. From 2006 to 2008, she served as resident country director for China at the International Republican Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing democracy worldwide, and from 2001 to 2003, she was special adviser for China in the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.

Ezra F. Vogel is the author of the new biography of Deng Xiaoping. In his book, “Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China”, he discusses the differing views of Deng during his rule and now and the differences between Chinese and American politics during the opening of China to the West.  (Edited excerpt from his interview with the NY Times (10/2011))

In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, men and women in the Shanxi region of north China rebuilt local society under the leadership of Buddhist and Daoist clergy. Those men and women left thousands of inscriptional records on stone steles, some only recently discovered. This body of fresh sources demonstrates that after the Mongol conquest destroyed numerous families and lineages in the early thirteenth century, Daoist and Buddhist clergy formed extensive new networks. In these networks, ordinary women gained support from prefectural/provincial governors to build shelters for orphaned children; destitute scholars found alternate careers in editing, printing, and teaching the new Daoist canon. In addition, both Daoist and Buddhist clergy actively cooperated with villagers to rebuild local irrigated ditches and to organize irrigation associations.

While Neo-Confucian institutions—such as private schools, community compacts, and lineage organizations—were prominent in the south, religious organizations and village associations prevailed in the north, where Neo-Confucian teachings had little impact. This contrast is crucial. First, it shows that the Confucian-educated literati were by no means the social elite throughout traditional China at all times. Second, it runs counter to the conventional argument that religious institutions declined in China as crucial social institutions after the Song dynasty and Confucian schools and corporate lineage estates took their place. Last, it rebuts the assumptions that the southern model of social change was replicated in other regions of China.

The traditional model of anti-corruption enforcement, based on domestic regulations and enforced by a nation’s judiciary or other special agencies, faces numerous challenges in the Asian context. Where the independence of the judiciary and even-handed application of the laws is in doubt—especially in new democracies or autocracies—reliance on law and governance methods alone has been thought insufficient. The increasingly global economy and necessity for trans-national cooperation further complicate this picture, and also imply that these local matters have become questions of global significance. The internet and social media, as well as more traditional media, may play a greater role in shedding light on abuse and acting as a check on power. This symposium will explore how these non-state actors, specifically corporates, media, and other societal institutions can play a role on (anti-)corruption and government transparency in East and Southeast Asia .

Speakers will include:

• Laura B. Sherman, Senior Legal Advisor, Transparency International-USA
• Roger J. Magnuson, Partner, Dorsey & Whitney, LLP
• Philip M. Nichols, Associate Professor of Legal Studies and Business Ethics, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
• Yuhua Wang, Assistant Professor, Political Science, University of Pennsylvania
• Ling Li, Senior Research Fellow, US-Asia Law Institute, New York University
• Damian Tambini, Senior Lecturer, Department of Media and Communications, The London School of Economics and Political Science
• Moderated by Jacques deLisle , Stephen A. Cozen Professor of Law, University of Pennsylvania Law School

This program has been approved for 2.5 hours of substantive law credit and 0 hours of ethics credit for Pennsylvania lawyers.

Contrary to the main body of literature on law and development, the dominant position of law and development scholars with expertise on Chinese law or economy downplays the role of formal law in China’s economic development. This talk, however, demonstrates that there is still inadequate evidence to support this position. In addition to pointing out that there is a role for formal law in China’s economic development with respect to the enforcement of contracts and the protection of property rights, this talk also analyses the non-protective role of law. They include signaling and self-commitment. These roles of formal law have varying degrees of impact in different countries depending upon their political economy. This talk rejects the position that there is a role for the government in owning or managing SOEs or TVEs in China except for a period under distorted economic conditions. The role of the state, instead, should be in the provision of public goods including law and other welfare programs. The talk then draws some implications on human rights issues from China’s economic development and Party politics.

The “enhancement” of the genealogy of the Tokugawa family to further Ieyasu’s political aspirations is well known: Forging a link to the main line of the Seiwa Genji was not only an improvement—whatever Ieyasu’s actual ancestry may have been—but an essential step in producing a pedigree fit for a shogun. Tokugawa Ieyasu, of course, was far from alone in manipulating the details of his familial history and identity—a practice that was widespread in the seventeenth century.  The regime founded by the Tokugawa, though, also played a central role other families’ recasting of their genealogies, by instructing warrior houses throughout the land to submit family trees for inspection, collation, and eventual publication.  These ambitious compilation projects ensured the preservation of copies of genealogical records that might otherwise have been lost—and in many cases these are the only documents that allow modern historians to weave continuous family narratives.   The production (or even invention) of family histories by house elders and archivists across the country was aided and abetted, often unwittingly, by the Tokugawa compilers charged with verifying the authenticity of documents submitted to their attention.  As a result, new pasts were officially sanctioned and published for a great number of families. 

In this paper I examine not the genealogies of victors eager to provide themselves with a past worthy of their present, but rather those of losers and survivors—in particular, those of eastern families like the Uesugi, Nagao, Ōishi, Iwamatsu, Yura, for most of whom the sixteenth century ended worse than it had begun. I consider how, and for which ends, each in its own fashion, the new narratives served to disguise complex and uncomfortable pasts with reassuringly and fictitiously serene ones.

This paper examines the rehabilitation of General Im Kyŏngŏp, a seventeenth-century official in Chosŏn Korea. Im served variously under Ming, Qing, and Chosŏn command, at times even leading forces against a country that had rewarded him for previous meritorious service. Hence, his life reflected the fraught transnational context of the Ming-Manchu conflict in the tumultuous seventeenth-century. But by the late eighteenth-century, the Chosŏn state promoted Im as an ideal subject and honored his loyal service through state-sanctioned commemoration. Today, the memory of Im remains largely positive; twenty-first century Koreans know him predominantly as a Chosŏn hero or as the object of shamanic supplication.
By juxtaposing official accounts, literati essays, legal cases, and historical fiction, this paper’s excavation of hidden narratives reveals that Im was far from the hero that he has been imagined to be. Actually, Im was a deserter and a suspected traitor at the time of his death. This paper suggests that Im’s rehabilitation attests to the growing power of a reading public and the influence of popular culture on political discourse in an early modern public sphere.

Wang Tiangcheng earned his B.A. from Hunan Normal University and his law degree from Peking University, where he served as law lecturer. He was active in the 1989 prodemocracy movement and later helped found an independent political party, the Liberal and Democratic Party of China, and was involved in the Free Labour Union of China. Wang was detained in December 1991 and charged with “actively taking part in a counter-revolutionary group” and “carrying out counter-revolutionary propaganda and incitement.” In 1992, he was sentenced to a five-year prison term.
Since his release in 1997, Mr. Wang has published influential and prize-winning papers on the rule of law and constitutionalism in China, and has called publicly for a reconsideration of government policies on Tibet.

The New Year's Gift left London in 1614 bound for points east, hopefully as far as Japan. It had on board a most unusual cargo. Having been set up in 1600 the English East India Company was experimenting with its merchandise. Most of their exports were wool or tin, but they believed value-added items would raise more revenue. The Gift's cargo included some 100 oil paintings, commissioned in both England and France, on a variety of theme. It also seems to have had a large number of prints. These duly arrived in first India and then Japan, were some were given away as presents and some were sold.

This lecture is part of a book-length study of the cargo, the motivation for sending it, the appearance and subject-matter of the pictures, and the impact they had. The cargo of the New Year's Gift is unique in the history of all the European East India Companies.

Professor Jerome Cohen is the senior American expert on East Asian law. As Director of East Asian Legal Studies at Harvard Law School from 1964-1979, he helped pioneer the introduction of East Asian legal systems and perspectives into American legal curricula.

Each year, Jerome Cohen teaches a course on Chinese law and society. In some years he offers a third course on comparative international law, analyzing how countries with a Confucian tradition relate to the international laws and traditions of the "Christian West." In another course, he explores international business contracts and economic cooperation with East Asia.

In addition to these formal courses, Professor Cohen coordinates a Chinese language colloquium that attracts key figures in Chinese law and hosts a weekly Asia Hour for students, featuring informal (and frequently autobiographical) talks by prominent diplomatic and government officials, leading academics, and other influential practitioners in the East Asian legal area.

"For a century, most have regarded Korea’s colonization by Japan in 1910 as an inevitable outcome of imperialist aggressions and failings of Korea’s leadership. According to this view rooted in Japanese colonialist historiography, hopelessly backward Korea was doomed amidst lingering strife between the father and the wife of Emperor Kojong (r. 1864–1907), as well as the conflict among court factions. In the past two decades, an increasing number of historians have demonstrated that Kojong played a critical role in spearheading a modernization effort that began producing tangible results, especially during the Korean Empire (Taehan Cheguk) period (1897– 1910). A grand-daughter of Emperor Kojong and a daughter of Prince Ŭi (1877–1955), Amy Hai-kyung Lee* will reminisce on her childhood at her father’s palace during the colonial era, coming of age during the chaotic postcolonial era of Korea, emigration to the U.S., and career as the Korean studies librarian at Columbia University that not only helped to build one of the best Korean language collections in North America but also allowed her to rediscover her father as a man who fought to be a citizen of independent Korea rather than a prince of a colonized nation. The speaker will conclude her lecture with reflections on the royal house’s place in modern history of Korea."

*A private citizen of the U.S., the speaker has declined forms of address customary for the members of a royal dynasty. Also, neither Korean government maintains any constitutional provision for the Yi royal house.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) broke out at Heping Hospital in Taiwan in 2003. The government decided to isolate the hospital and asked all staff member to return. Dr. Chou defied the return order. Following Dr. Chou’s lawsuit against the government, an inconvenient truth in this affected hospital was discovered.

“The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak at the Heping Hospital was one of the most important incidents in Taiwan in the last decade. Like other incidents of collective panic on the island, most of us chose silence in the face of this pandemic, but, has the story of this incident ended? Will such pain go away? Have we learned enough from it so we can deal with similar outbreaks in the future?” - Chu Hsien-Che

"Flying" boys? It refers to the kids with abnormal behavior, those "no go" boys! Some of them have lost their parents and family, some are abandoned by their family or school. The shattered hearts and souls of those children are like a broken puzzle, now many people have come up the decision to help the boys to mend and complete the puzzle of their life!

“There’s something different with the children of Hualien’s Faith and Love Youth academy, for they can not get love and recognition from the family, the school, or the society. How important love is for a child? In the summer of 2006, more than 30 of them set off for a 20-day 1000-kilometer around-the-island tour. Reverend Huang and Youth detention officer Lu Su-Wei risked their job to accompany these children to accomplish this challenge, for they believe this one-in-a-million chance of success will bring an incredible change to those children, whom are incurable in the eyes of others. Are they going get through this challenge of life?” – Huang Chia-Chun
