A City of Workers, A City for Workers? Beijing Urban Space in the 1950s
Thursday, February 18, 2016, 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10383, UCLA
Talk by Fabio Lanza, University of Arizona
Immediately after Beijing’s “peaceful liberation” in 1949, Chinese planners and leaders conjured up the idea of a capital city that could fulfill three different but theoretically inseparable functions: it should be a productive city, with a sizeable modern industrial proletariat; it should host a vast centralized bureaucracy; and it should be remade into a more perfect structure, in which the needs of the people (the newly industrialized working masses) could be finally satisfied and the people themselves remade into new socialist individuals. Documents of the Beijing government in the 1950s indicate that these three functions proved to be in the end incompatible. Socialist “city construction” became realized in a form of and urban modernization that was antithetical to any radical change in the lives of the working people and to any step towards a more equalitarian organization of society. While in the 1950s Beijing was indeed being transformed into a city of workers, it was not becoming a city for workers.
This presentation traces the increasing distance, through the 1950s, between the projects of the planners and practices at street level, showing how the contradictions of Beijing’s urban space were intrinsic to some of the basic concepts that animated the early PRC, such as “development,” “modernization,” and “production.” But it also illustrates how the city government (and Beijing residents) never stopped trying to solve these tensions, leading to the creation of new forms of urban organizations, from the danwei in the early 1950s to the urban communes of the Great Leap Forward.
Fabio Lanza (Ph.D. Columbia University, 2004) is associate professor of modern Chinese history in the Departments of History and East Asian Studies of the University of Arizona. His main research interests are political movements and urban history of twentieth-century China. He is the author of Behind the Gate: Inventing Students in Beijing (Columbia University Press, 2010) and co-editor (with Jadwiga Pieper-Mooney) of De-Centering Cold War History Local and Global Change (Routledge, 2013).
He has recently completed a manuscript on Maoism, Asian Studies and intellectual activism in the U.S. and France and has just started a new project on Beijing urban space under Maoism. |

RE: People v. Peter Liang
Indictment No. 9988/2014
Dear Honorable Thompson,
I am very disappointed that your office decided to indict Office Peter Liang, a young Chinese American officer who really wanted to serve our community. While Officer Wenjian Liu was killed in the line of duty, Officer Liang was indicted because of an accidental shooting. I believe that his conviction was unjust and I do not believe that the charge of reckless manslaughter is supported by any reasonable view of the evidence submitted at trial. Likewise, the conviction of official misconduct is unsupported by the evidence.
I respectfully ask that your office would reconsider the position and will stipulate to Liang's Motion to Set Aside the illogical verdict handed down by the jury. If your office will not agree to set aside the verdict, I respectfully ask that you sentence Police Officer Peter Liang to probation. Institutional confinement of Police Officer Peter Liang is not necessary for the protection of the public. A prison sentence would be inconsistent with the ends of justice. It would send the wrong message to our Asian American community.
Respectfully submitted, |

评《李毅台湾观选总结: 和平统一已无可能》
李毅先生您好。
咱倆不識。我不懂社會學，但我知道什麼 "不是" 社會學。您這篇 "大作"，大是很大，估計好幾萬字應該有吧，但光是字多數量大並不保證內容也一樣大。老實說，我實在看不出這樣的文章跟什麼社不社會學扯得上什麼關係。這類文章，只要更換幾個關鍵字，台灣其實多得是，特別是當今一片綠油油的台灣社會，這樣一種言論內涵，俯拾皆是；差別只是一個統一個獨，各擁立場，本質卻如一。
先不說立場，光就這類文章屬性而言，毫無一絲智性成份，它其實只是一種立場宣洩。宣洩沒啥不好，重點是宣洩什麼。我從中能感受到的唯一東西就是近乎瘋狂的愚昧與仇恨。在台灣，我同樣也常納悶，時下喧囂跋扈的綠油油人士們，特別是動輒搖旗吶喊、蠢血沸騰、反中仇中的年輕一代，究竟他們的腦殼裏頭還有沒有腦子？我從您的這篇文章中也有類似的困惑，甚且有過之而無不及。
真不可思議，怎麼會有人連如何燒殺擄掠都能如此興奮地規劃與幻想，講得彷彿人不是人，而只是一些可以任意擺佈的棋子或工具。假若祖國普遍是像您這樣的人，那我們要這種祖國做什麼呢？
長期以來，我倒是也有個有關統獨的解決方法，經常浮現腦海，若能實施，小弟我很可能成為台灣之光，獲得諾貝爾和平獎。方法其實很簡單，我願意出資若干，挑個地點，擺個擂臺，恭請兩岸立場各異的愛國陣營，各自推派愛國志士數名，上台比劃比劃。小弟願意自掏腰包，提供武器給雙方參賽選手；要是打傷了，我甚至可以進一步提供醫藥費。台灣這一邊，我心裏頭有些最佳人選，但我不太敢說出名字，例如其中之一有個外號叫時代的什麼力量。至於對岸方面，就恭請李先生您領軍參賽。三回合定勝負，一舉解決兩岸統獨問題。
我對自己這個符合最高級社會學理念的構想，相當自豪。套一段您的句型："有誰的想法能比陳真更精闢更精準更加高瞻遠矚的嗎？俺孤陋寡聞，沒有看見。有誰看見了，請告訴我，我一定儘快認真跟他學習。"

评论：美国华裔教授专家网杰出学者、加州理工陈雁北教授：我们探测到引力波 |
|

發現愛因斯坦引力波的反思
上星期，2016年1月11號, 在美國華盛頓的一個新聞發佈會上宣佈了3000位全球的科學家花了二十年工夫終於探測到愛因斯坦在百年前預測的引力波！在今天「平的地球」內, 這個消息在地球的另一端的港澳也立即起了漣漪。在2月12號及2月19號, 香港中文大學物理系的黎冠峰教授以廣東話及英語分别報導此發現。在2月20號, 澳門大學也請了中文大學的理論物理博士生, 也是澳門學子甘駿暉用普通話(但PPT是英文) 報導。甘駿暉的題目是「愛因斯坦的時空漣漪-引力波的百年征程!」因為這個議題是炙手可熱，澳門大學還特別在當地的高中廣泛宣傳，熱烈歡迎中學生與中學老師參與！
今天港澳對地球另一端的立即反應令我想起1957年在新加坡對另一件重大發現的反應。那一年我還是小學五年級，在十月時看到報紙報導兩個華人，李政道與楊振寧，得到世界最高的「什麼什麼」榮譽。我還清楚記得報上有一張李政道的照片，在他背後是一個大黑板，黑板上寫上一些勾來勾去的「字」。
我記得我看到這報導，心中很激動。我激動的原因並非是李楊二人得了物理的諾貝爾獎。當時我既不知道什麼是物理，更不知道什麼是諾貝爾獎。我激動的原因是他們兩人竟然，如我，也是中國人，那至少在這一點，我和他們是一樣的！
但是，我清楚記得當邀動過後，接下來就是一連串的失望。失望的一個原因是我一無所知他們到底做什麼這麼偉大的事。另外一個更重要的失望是我問東問西，沒有人可以給我滿意的回答。對一個小學生來説，中學的學長已經有高深的學問。但好幾位我認識的初中或高中的同學，他們都回答我説他們也完全不知道這是什麼一回事! 當時在新加坡兩個大學也沒有人作公開解說。我記得當時我的一個模糊結論是大概這些偉大事情是不會在新加坡發生的。回想起來, 我當時的思維是我今天常提到的「第三世界的思維」: 那就是「好的事情是不會在這里發生!」
今天在港澳對引力波發現的反應正好是近六十年前對李楊得獎的一個強烈對比。我可想象今天在港澳的一位小學五年級同學，他/她絕對不會有我當時的徬徨。今天的他/她可上網，可問同學，可問父母，也可問中學老師。他/她甚至可以被中文大學或澳門大學邀請去聽黎冠峰或甘駿暉的演講。總之在他/她的腦海中, 「第三世界的思維」是不會存在的！
近年來, 在許多演講内, 我常提到培養亞洲青年「内涵信心」是教育的一個重要, 假如不是唯一的宗旨。從這個角度看來, 澳門大學對發现引力波探测的快速反應的確是好事。但是比此更重要的是作為一所大學, 我們必須讓所有的學子建立他們必須有的「內涵信心」。能夠知道「好的事情是可以在這里發生!」是樹立「內涵信心」一個重要的一步! |
