The Northern Others in Chinese Historiography: Reading the Tuoba Xianbei
Monday, March 13, 2017, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
10383 Bunche Hall, UCLA
Talk by Nina Duthie, visiting faculty, UCLA
The early fourth century in China is conventionally described with the epigrammatic phrase wu Hu luan Hua, or “the five Hu (nomadic tribes of from the north) lay waste to the Hua (Huaxia; central cultural region).” The phrase evokes a violent disruption of the normative political order as the result of savage invaders running amok across the land. Dr. Duthie''''s talk will examine the earliest ethnographic accounts of the Tuoba Xianbei, one such Hu tribe, and show how such accounts place the Tuoba Xianbei squarely within an existing discourse on the uncivilized Hu.
Dr. Duthie will then turn to explore an alternative narrative on Tuoba Xianbei origins and ancestors from the mid-sixth century Wei shu (History of the Northern Wei). She argues that the Wei shu annals present a teleological narrative in which the Tuoba Xianbei ancestors emerge in a northern wilderness under the reign of a son of the Yellow Emperor, civilize the lands of their origin, and then, with the guidance of spirit animals, undertake a succession of southward journeys and move into a new space—one whose boundaries are clearly defined through the founding of capitals and which is sacralized through the performance of rituals to heaven and earth. This narrative on the Tuoba Xianbei past then prompts the Wei shu historian’s comment that, “by the end, [the Tuoba rulers] came to expansively possess all the world,” thereby establishing the ground for the inevitable founding of the imperial Northern Wei state (386–534 CE) in north China.
Nina Duthie received her Ph.D. in Chinese Literature and Cultural History from the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University in 2015, and is currently a visiting faculty in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at UCLA.

The Red Guard Generation And Political Activism In China
Date: Thursday, March 23, 2017, 4:00-5:30pm
Location: Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, ASC 204, USC
Cost: Free
This talk will be based on the speaker's recently published book of the same title. The first part of the book offers a new explanation of factional violence in the Red Guard movement, arguing that in crucial ways, factional violence was the result of the dramatic re-enactment of a revolutionary culture which had been sacralized by the eve of the Cultural Revolution. The second part of the book chronicles the de-sacralization of that revolutionary culture throughout the 1970s when the Red Guard generation became sent-down youth in the villages and the rise of a new wave of protest that inaugurated the democratic movements of the reform era.
Guobin Yang is a Professor of Communication and Sociology at the Annenberg School for Communication and Department of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. His books include The Red Guard Generation and Political Activism in China (2016), The Power of the Internet in China: Citizen Activism Online (2009), and Dragon-Carving and the Literary Mind (2 vols. 2003). He is the editor of Media Activism in the Digital Age (with Victor Pickard, forthcoming), China's Contested Internet (2015), The Internet, Social Media, and a Changing China (with Jacques deLisle and Avery Goldstein, 2016), and Re-Envisioning the Chinese Revolution: The Politics and Poetics of Collective Memories in Reform China (with Ching-Kwan Lee, 2007).
