The growing political conflicts unfolding in China provide an opportunity for rethinking the cultural politics of emotion. Although the political formations in the region can be laden with a multitude of emotions, they tend to be poorly understood. In their forthcoming book, Affective Spaces: The Cultural Politics of Emotion in China, Shih-Diing Liu and Wei Shi explain why affect and emotion matter to politics from Mao Zedong to the present. The book investigates the dynamics of political passions and the contexts from which emotional subjects engage in hegemonic struggles through the creation of various cultural forms, including Maoist art and popular films. We argue that cultural feelings and emotional experiences are crucial for understanding political struggle, as well as debates about the cultural dilemma of the Chinese Dream.

Shih-Diing Liu is Professor of Communication at the University of Macau. His research has appeared in Positions, Social Movement Studies, New Media and Society, and New Left Review. He is the author of The Politics of People: Protest Cultures in China (State University of New York Press, 2019).

Drawing on a multilingual archive of contemporary queer and feminist videos by Asian diasporans in North America, Europe, and East Asia, Asians on Demand: Mediating Race in Video Art and Activism (University of Minnesota Press, 2023) grapples with the pressing question of how media representation can advance racial justice in the wake of today’s unprecedented rise of onscreen diversity. Through an engagement with grassroots activist documentaries and experimental videos by migrants, undocumented workers, and high-profile media artists, the book showcases video productions that sabotage popular and state demands for Asian visibility to fulfill ostensibly progressive projects of multicultural and postracial inclusion.

Feng-Mei Heberer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cinema Studies at NYU. Her research interests lie at the junctures of labor, transnational migration, and Asian diaspora, and her work draws heavily on the insights of ethnic studies, queer studies, feminist studies, and critical area studies. In addition, she researches and works in film curation and community arts and culture organizing.

彼岸花：1950年代後張愛玲的跨界文藝實踐

分享嘉賓 Speaker: 趙家琦 博士 Dr. CHAO Chia-chi 
主持人 Moderator: 林姵吟 博士 Dr. LIN Pei-yin

日期時間 Date & Time: November 30, 2023 (Thu) 16:30-18:00pm
語言 Language: Putonghua
地點 Venue: CPD-LG.07, Central Podium LG/F, Centennial Campus, HKU

摘要 Abstract:
張愛玲1950年後的文藝表現，多被視為無法媲及其戰時創作的高峰，並尚未獲得充分的關注。本次演講因此以「跨」為視角，來觀察、並闡論張愛玲的後期寫作在跨媒介、語際與文類的多元文藝成就。演講分三部分，首先以張愛玲改編自英國劇作的電懋劇本《六月新娘》為對象，耙梳該作與改編電影就羅曼史的跨媒介衍繹，並勾勒其折射的冷戰通俗文化。其次探討張愛玲對晚清吳語小說《海上花列傳》的愛情譯寫，並追蹤張與海外學術菁英的翻譯合作，打造出中國人情文學的衍播系譜。最後關注張愛玲的中文遺稿〈重訪邊城〉，論證她在冷戰下的台灣行與對當地廟宇的興趣，既展現了對漢族身世的南方想像，她對台灣的述寫也蘊含著與台灣鄉土藝術的交會。

Eileen Chang’s literary practice from the 1950s onwards is often deemed inferior to her wartime creations and has not received sufficient attention. Therefore, this talk aims to explore the richness and border-crossing nature of Chang’s later works, spanning various media, languages and genres. This three-part talk begins by analysing how Chang’s adaptation of the British play “While the Sun Shines” into a screenplay “June Bride” for the MP&GI company, offers valuable insights into the interplay between the play and its film adaptation as a romance, while tracing its reflection of Cold War popular culture. It then discusses how Chang transformed the late Qing Wu-dialect novel Sing-song Girls of Shanghai into a love classic through her Chinese translation. It also highlights Chang’s collaborative translation efforts with academic circles in Hong Kong and beyond. Finally, the talk turns to Chang’s posthumously discovered Chinese essay “A Return to the Frontier.” It posits that her visit to Taiwan during the Cold War and her fascination with local temples not only reveal an imagination of Han-ethnic heritage but also signify intriguing intertextuality with Taiwan’s folk arts.

The concept of sovereignty is a crucial foundation of the current world order. Regardless of their political ideologies no states can operate without claiming and justifying their sovereign power. The People’s Republic of China (PRC)—one of the most powerful states in contemporary global politics—has been resorting to the logic of sovereignty to respond to many external and internal challenges, from territorial rights disputes to the Covid-19 pandemic. In her forthcoming book, One and All: The Logic of Chinese Sovereignty (Stanford University Press, 2024), Pang Laikwan analyzes the historical roots of Chinese sovereignty. Surveying the four different political structures of modern China—imperial, republican, socialist, and post-socialist—and the dramatic ruptures between them, Pang argues that the ruling regime’s sovereign anxiety cuts across the long twentieth century in China, providing a strong throughline for the state–society relations during moments of intense political instability.

Pang Laikwan is the Choh-Ming Li Professor of Cultural Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her research spans the wide spectrum of culture in modern and contemporary China and Hong Kong. She is the author of several books, including The Appearing Demos: Hong Kong During and After the Umbrella Movement (2021), The Art of Cloning: Creative Production During China’s Cultural Revolution (2017) and Creativity and Its Discontents: China’s Creative Industries and Intellectual Property Rights Offenses (2012).

This book constitutes a timely intervention into debates over the status of Taiwan, at a moment when discussions of democracy and autocracy, imperialism and agency, unipolarity and multipolarity, dominate the intellectual agenda of the day. Pursuing a parallel trajectory that is both epistemic and historical, and that is traced out in relation both to Taiwan’s recent history and to the disparate forms of knowledge production about that history, this work engages in scholarly debates about some of the burning issues of our time, including transitional justice, hegemony and conspiracy in the digital age, debt regimes, cultural difference, national language, and the traumatic legacies of war, colonialism, anticommunism, antiblackness, and neoliberalism. Providing trenchant analyses of the fundamental bipolarity that persists amidst both unipolar and multipolar conceptions of the world schema inherited from the colonial-imperial modernity, this book will be of interest to scholars in many fields, including translation studies, postcolonial studies, Marxism studies, trauma studies, media studies, poststructural theory, gender studies, cold war studies, area studies, and American studies, black studies, among others.

Jon Solomon is a professor in the Department of Chinese Literature at Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3 and a researcher attached to the Centre de Recherches Plurilingues et Multidisciplinaires, Université Paris Nanterre.

In the last two decades both Chinese and Russian “blockbusterized” films about war have become some of the biggest box-office successes of all time in these countries. This presentation analyzes these Russian and Chinese nationalist blockbusters comparatively through close textual readings and pointing out industrial and politico-economic needs and practices that have given rise to these films. The dual nature of these productions as being a mimicry of and antidote to Hollywood will be discussed. Dealing mostly with films depicting the World War II era, this lecture discusses the cinematic revival of “The Great Patriotic War” under Putin, and its uses in screen culture and propaganda after Russia’s attack on Ukraine. In addition, a few recent co-productions between China and Russia will briefly be discussed in light of the two countries’ geopolitical relations.

Dr. Tatu-Ilari Laukkanen obtained his PhD in Comparative Literature at HKU and now teaches film at Tampere University and the Finnish University Network for Asian Studies (Asianet). A member of the Tampere Research Centre for Russian and Chinese Media (TaRC), he has written on film in China, Russia, and the other BRICS countries. His most recent work on Sino-Russian cinema is the upcoming book chapter, ”A Double-Edged Sword? Nationalist Blockbusters of China and Russia,” in Eastern Europe and Eurasia in the Global Age: Narrating Geopolitics and Culture,Kaasik-Krogerus et al., eds. (Bloomsbury Academic, forthcoming).

A rebooted formalism might be able to provide resources for thinking across nature and culture. The study of form, however, is complicated by the ubiquity of forms: the term is primitive and empty, while referring to spoons, skeletons, galaxies, equations, nursery rhymes, and everything else that is not “without form and void.” As a provisional solution to this problem, I focus on formal objects: familiar, distinctive things that are widely reproduced and valued because of their shape, resonance, or other formal quality. By examining the formal object of the shell and how it articulates the pattern of the spiral, some features of formal appeal and response become evident. Formal objects also can expose characteristic problems in formalism, as shell/spiral exposes the mistaken commitments to meaning and totalization.

倒掉的塔，凋萎的花：張愛玲文學中的愛情形式

分享嘉賓 Speaker: 濱田麻矢 教授 Prof. Maya HAMADA

主持人 Moderator: 黃心村 教授 Prof. Nicole HUANG

日期時間 Date & Time: October 25, 2023 (Wed) 16:30-18:00pm

摘要 Abstract:
民國時期小說中反覆描繪的「純粹而高貴的愛情」在五四時期備受文人推崇，在戰後卻被曖昧地擱置。自由戀愛所孕育出的悖論，我們只有在張愛玲的小說，尤其是後期作品中才能看到。在象徵禮教的雷峰塔坍倒後，自由戀愛作為一種基於人類真情的、不可否認的精神活動為人們所歌頌。然而，有時候「愛」之花並不能永遠持續綻放。張愛玲不願意通過「婚姻」、「子女」等裝置來謀求愛情的持續，她認為愛情應該是「不問值不值得」的。正因如此，當她自己的專一、排他的愛情被作爲開放性關係，並成為「三美中的一美」被消費時，她的愛情只能凋萎了。本報告首先梳理自由戀愛在中國興起（封建婚姻制度衰退近似於雷峰塔坍倒）的時代背景，其次再針對隱藏在張愛玲作品中的重要因素（以西湖和白蛇傳爲中心）進行考察，探討潛藏在張愛玲心中的對於自由戀愛的複雜思考。

The “pure and noble love” repeatedly depicted during the Republican era was highly esteemed by the literati during the May Fourth age, but ambiguously shelved in the post-war period. The paradox that free love breeds can only be seen in Eileen Chang’s novels, especially in her later works. After the Fall of the Leifeng Pagoda, a symbol of ritualism, free love was celebrated as an undeniably spiritual activity based on true human feelings. However, the flower of love cannot bloom forever. Eileen Chang was unwilling to seek the continuity of love through such devices as “marriage” and “children”; she believed that love should be “without asking whether it is worth it or not”. It is for this reason that when her own exclusive love was treated as an open relationship and consumed as “one of the three beauties”, her love could only wither. This talk firstly examines the background of the rise of free love in China (the decline of the feudal marriage system is approximately equal to the Fall of the Leifeng Pagoda), and then focuses on the important factors hidden in Eileen Chang’s works (centering on the West Lake and the Legend of the White Snake), to explore the complex thoughts on free love hidden in Eileen Chang’s mind.
