Screening: Vanished Archives
Date: Friday, November 3, 2017
Time: 4:00-5:30pm
Location: Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, ASC 204, USC
Free.
About the Film
The 1967 riots are a watershed in Hong Kong history and some would say the starting point for the development of Hong Kong consciousness. Yet the official records of this critical period today are sadly incomplete. What information can be found online is hard to verify and authenticate. Documentary film director Connie Lo Yan-wai spent four years interviewing participants of the riots, from the children of the leftist leaders of the time, to members of the "bomb squads", union leaders and patriotic students. Others who share their personal experiences include former police officers, a senior government information director, journalists and a number of witnesses and victims. Lo sifted through piles of old newspapers, government documents and declassified British government records in order to produce the documentary, Vanished Archives. As a number of those who experienced the events of the time passed away during the four years it took to produce the film, the documentary has become their final record of their recollections of and reflections on those times. Are the political entanglements between the Mainland and Hong Kong fifty years ago a mirror reflecting today''s Hong Kong? Some maintain traces of the past can be detected in the present.
Ching Cheong, a veteran journalist based in Hong Kong, will provide prescreening comments.
The film (click here to watch the trailer) is 119 minutes long and will be screened in Cantonese with English subtitles. Discussion with the director follows the screening.
Over the past two decades, Connie Yan-wai Lo worked in different media groups including the TV Division of Radio Television Hong Kong, the News and Public Affairs Department of Asia Television Limited, Fairchild TV in Canada and the News and Public Affairs Department of Television Broadcasts Limited. She has founded Studio for Public Humanities Limited in 2012 with a focus in history documentation.

Travels with Chaekgeori: An Art Historical Journey with Korean Screen Painting
Saturday, November 04, 2017
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
Lenart Auditorium - UCLA Fowler Museum
30th Annual Sammy Yukuan Lee Lecture
Cultures appropriate from near and far, for reasons all their own, and they often adapt their borrowings to local standards without knowing the issues that gave rise to these borrowings in the first place. Derived from Chinese models, the Korean genre of chaekgeori – multi-panel screen paintings and scrolls depicting books, antiques, and other collectables – represents their scholars'''' love of Chinese arts and literature and was initially promoted for political and nationalist purposes. But a still-longer historical sequence underlay chaekgeori, leading back through Qing court culture and Jesuits in China to 15th-century depictions of European scholars' studios. Following separate lines of development in Europe and China, the European scholar's studio gave rise to public museums in the West, while their derivatives failed to do so in China and Korea until a much later date. Why this difference? Such developments exemplify how style and its meanings can become detached and transmitted separately, embedded yet hidden in a global history of meanings and purposes unseen by most who produced and patronized the arts.
About Sammy Lee Lecture Series
First presented in 1982 in celebration of his 80th birthday, the Sammy Yukuan Lee Lectures on Chinese Art and Archaeology honors the life and philanthropy of respected businessman, art collector, and Chinese art authority, Sammy Yukuan Lee. This series is presented annually by the UCLA Center for Chinese Studies with support from the Sammy Yukuan Lee Foundation, and in partnership with the Fowler Museum at UCLA.

Myths My Teachers Believed about Song-Yuan Painting History
Friday, November 03, 2017
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Bunche Hall 6275, UCLA
Sammy Lee Seminar by Jerome Silbergeld, Princeton University
MYTHS MY TEACHERS BELIEVED ABOUT SONG-YUAN PAINTING HISTORY
and what this means for Chinese art historical practice today
Chinese painting history is a thriving, growing, changing, and diverse discipline. Song and Yuan painting lay at the core of my teachers'' academic interests, Song naturalism and the rise of Yuan literati painting. Everything grew out of this. To some in my generation, many of our teachers'' |

The Fall and Rise of Typical Sampling in 1950s China: Locating ‘Method' in Great Leap ‘Madness''
Thursday, October 26, 2017
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10383, UCLA
Talk by Arunabh Ghosh, Harvard University
1958 marks a watershed in the history of the early People’s Republic of China (PRC). The execution of the first five-year plan (1953-57) had been a success, meeting and in many cases exceeding targets. And yet, instead of a second five-year plan that built upon the first one, China was launched down the path of the Great Leap Forward (GLF; 1958-1961). Today, the GLF is inextricably linked with the massive famine that followed in its wake. As a subject of research, the GLF and the famine have been explored from various perspectives and the total number of deaths remains a hotly contested subject. Such scholarship typically acknowledges—though often only in passing—that the GLF was accompanied by the dismantling of statistical work, which fundamentally crippled the state and leadership’s ability to access reliable data. There does not exist, however, any detailed account of what precisely such ‘dismantling’ meant. In this paper, I explore that question by tracing the evolution of statistical capacity building since the establishment of the PRC in 1949 and determining what precisely happened to statistics and statistical work during the GLF. Relying upon archival reports, newspapers, contemporary professional journals, and memoirs, I trace how a form of typical sampling—典型调查 (dianxing diaocha)—was revalidated as the only true way to ascertain social fact. Such an exercise can help us think more broadly about the history of data, state (technical) capacity, and the ways in which ideas about ‘accurate’ and ‘representative’ measurement remain at the heart of global modernity.

COMPLEX NETWORKS: THEORY, METHODS, AND APPLICATIONS(4th edition)
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.
