From the Natural to the Instrumental: Theories of the Sounding Voice in China
Thursday, February 08, 2018
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10383
Talk by Judith T. Zeitlin, University of Chicago
How was the human voice conceptualized and theorized in China before the advent of the modern era? This talk posits that the default manoeuver in Chinese traditional discourse was to situate the human voice on a continuum with other sounds, rather than isolating it as a separate phenomenon in its own right. This may be one reason why “voice” was seldom deployed as a key metaphor or trope in Chinese thought. At various historical moments, however, the physical, material voice was singled out and valorized above other kinds of sounds. My strategy in this talk, therefore, is to trace the emergence of different models of the voice over time. I begin with two diametrically opposed approaches to the voice in the canonical writings from early China (5th c. BCE to 1st c. CE): an expressive model found in Confucian statements on music and poetry and a physiological model found in the volume on acupuncture in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon. I locate the major turning point in court literature of the Six Dynasties (3rd to 5th centuries CE), where a model of voice as a natural musical instrument is developed. The final section examines what is arguably the fullest emergence of the autonomous human voice as an analytical category in Chinese discourse: a mid-eighteenth-century work entitled A Pedagogical Treatise for the Operatic Voice (Yuefu chuansheng). Written by the Qing dynasty physician Xu Dachun to promote his method for the singing of Kun opera, the treatise advocates a modern, technical approach to training the voice as an idealized vehicle for repairing a fatal rupture between the musics of the past and present.
Judith T. Zeitlin is William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Chinese Literature in the Department of East Asian Languages & Civilizations and the Committee on Theater and Performance Studies at the University of Chicago. She received her PhD from Harvard in 1988 and taught on the faculty of Cornell and Harvard before moving to Chicago in 1994. Her work combines literary history of the Ming-Qing period with other disciplines, particularly visual and material culture, music and performance, as well as gender studies, medicine and film. Her many publications on Chinese fiction and drama include The Phantom Heroine: Ghosts and Gender in Seventeenth-Century Chinese Literature (2007), and several co-edited works, including a special issue for The Opera Quarterly on “Chinese Opera Film” (2010), Performing Images: Opera in Chinese Visual Culture (2014), and The Voice as Something More: Essays Toward Materiality (under review). She is the recipient of fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS).

Chinese Investment In California: Trends, Players, Worries
Date: Monday, February 8, 2018
Time: 4:00-5:30pm
Location: Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, ASC 207, USC
Free
Beijing-based Oceanwide is one of the Chinese companies who are changing the Los Angeles skyline.
Chinese direct investment in the U.S. reached a record $45 billion in 2016. Over a third of that came to California. The pace and scale of investment dropped in 2017. California still saw nearly $5 billion in new investment. The Rhodium Group has been a leader in documenting and analyzing these trends. Founding partner Daniel Rosen has spoken at the USC U.S.-China Institute a couple of times, including in 2013. On Thursday, Feb. 8, we are delighted to welcome Rhodium Group senior analyst Cassie Gao to speak. She has written extensively on Chinese investment in the U.S. and is especially focused on California. She will discuss the most prominent sectors for Chinese investors and the investors who are making the biggest impact in California.
Cassie Gao is a Senior Analyst at RHG focusing on China''''s international trade and investment flows. Cassie works extensively on Chinese investment into the United States, as well as broader Chinese macroeconomic reform dynamics. Previously, Cassie worked with the Albright Stonebridge Group''''s China Practice covering healthcare reform and agriculture policy. She has a Bachelor''''s in Economics from Cornell University and a Master''''s in International Affairs from George Washington University.
Rhodium Group (RHG) combines policy experience, quantitative economic tools and on-the-ground research to analyze disruptive global trends. Our work supports the investment management, strategic planning and policy analysis needs of clients in the financial, corporate, non-profit and government sectors. RHG has offices in New York, California and Hong Kong, and associates in Washington and New Delhi.

美国年度最神奇新闻事件排行榜出炉——
【金牌奖】
JAMES ELLIOT——加州长滩市的抢劫犯，他用.38口径左轮枪对准被害人开枪时，卡弹了! 然后他把枪口对准自己眼睛仔细瞄了一眼，同时扣下了扳机，这次枪没有卡弹。
【银牌奖】
1. 瑞士酒店厨师被切肉机切断了一根手指，向保险公司要求赔偿，保险公司怀疑他是操作错误，派了理险代表来检查机器。 理险代表操作切肉机之后也失去了一根手指，保险公司终于核准了厨师的理赔要求。
2. 美国有个男人在暴风雪中铲雪一小时，清出一个停车位。 当他把车开过去时，一位女士抢先占了车位，他拔枪一枪把她干掉了。
3. 巴士司机负责将20名精神病患送到病院，他中途偷懒停车到酒吧喝酒，等喝完酒后巴士上的精神病患全逃跑了。司机想了个歪念——把车开到了附近公交车站，招呼说可以免费搭乘。 然后他把这些乘客送进了精神病院，并告诉医院人员这些病人非常容易激动，胡言乱语、充满幻觉……三天后医院才证实这些人是正常人！
【铜牌奖】
1. 一个美国少年头部被火车严重撞伤送进了医院，警察问了他，他说只想看自己能把头伸到离行进火车有多近……然后就晕过去了。
2. 易斯安纳有个男人到一个便利商店，拿出20元纸钞要求找零；当职员打开收款机时他亮出手枪要求职员把收款机现金都给他。 店员照做了，他一共拿走15元后迅速消失，但把自己的20元钞票留在柜台上。 这事引起一个法律问题——人拿枪威胁要给你钱算不算犯罪？
3. 阿肯色州一个小伙子想喝啤酒，他朝酒铺橱窗扔了空心砖打算砸破玻璃抢几瓶酒，橱窗是强化玻璃，空心砖反弹回来把他砸昏，整个过程被录像下来。结果这家伙把商店告上了法庭。
4. 密执安州一男子凌晨5点持枪进快餐店准备打劫，柜台表示如果没有点餐无法打开收款机；男子只好点了一份炸洋葱圈，但柜台人员说，早餐不提供这洋葱圈----男子深感挫折，无奈离去。
【特别奖】
西雅图警察发现有人蜷缩在一辆大房车旁，好像得了重病，上前查问，这人承认他本来想用吸管偷房车的汽油，但没承想误将吸管另一头放到了房车的化粪桶里。 |

Spring School - COMPLEX NETWORKS: THEORY, METHODS, AND APPLICATIONS
Lake Como School of Advanced Studies
Villa del Grumello, Como, Italy, 14-18 May 2018
http://ntmd.lakecomoschool.org/
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: February 18, 2018
Many real systems can be modeled as networks, where the elements of the system are nodes and interactions between elements are edges. An even larger set of systems can be modeled using dynamical processes on networks, which are in turn affected by the dynamics. Networks thus represent the backbone of many complex systems, and their theoretical and computational analysis makes it possible to gain insights into numerous applications. Networks permeate almost every conceivable discipline---including sociology, transportation, economics and finance, biology, and myriad others---and the study of "network science" has thus become a crucial component of modern scientific education.
The school "Complex Networks: Theory, Methods, and Applications" offers a succinct education in network science. It is open to all aspiring scholars in any area of science or engineering who wish to study networks of any kind (whether theoretical or applied), and it is especially addressed to doctoral students and young postdoctoral scholars. The aim of the school is to deepen into both theoretical developments and applications in targeted fields.
