States of Disconnect: The China-India Literary Relation in the 20th Century

organized by the Center for Chinese Studies

Wednesday, May 1, 3:00 – 4:30 pm
ZOOM (to register)

In an interconnected world, literature moves through transnational networks, crosses borders, and bridges diverse cultures. In these ways, literature can bring people closer together. Today, as hopes for globalization wane and exclusionary nationalism is on the march, can literature still offer new ways of relating with others? Comparative literature has long been under the spell of circulation, contact, connectivity, and mobility—what if it instead sought out their antitheses?

States of Disconnect examines the breakdown of transnationalism through readings of literary texts that express aversion to pairing ideas of China and India. Focusing on practices of comparison, Adhira Mangalagiri considers how these texts articulate the undesirability or impossibility of relating with national others, tracing portrayals of violence, silence, and distance. She proposes the concept of “disconnect”: a crisis of transnationalism perceptible in moments when a connection is severed, interrupted, or disavowed. Despite their apparent insularity, texts of disconnect offer possibilities for relating ethically across national borders while resisting both narrow nationalisms and globalized habits of thought. Reading a variety of largely untranslated twentieth-century Chinese and Hindi short stories, novels, and poems, Mangalagiri charts a path for cultivating with literary texts a critical sensibility for making sense of a world rife with division.

Adhira Mangalagiri is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Comparative Literature at New York University. She is the author of States of Disconnect: The China-India Literary Relation in the Twentieth Century (Columbia, 2023). Her research has appeared in Comparative Literature Studies, the Journal of World Literature, China and Asia, The Yearbook of Comparative Literature, among others. She has (co)edited special issues on China-India studies for the International Journal of Asian Studies (2022) and Crossroads (2022). She is a member of the British Academy-funded “Chinese Global Orders” research project. She currently serves as a general editor for Comparative Critical Studies, the house journal of the British Comparative Literature Association.

colloquium

How to Be a Nonconsequentialist and Still Save the Greater Number

organized by the Department of Philosophy

Thursday, May 2, 2:30 PM
Sakamaki Hall C-308

Many people agree that, other things being equal, agents who have the option of saving either a smaller or a greater number of different people have a moral duty to save the greater number. While consequentialists have an easy time vindicating this pre-theoretically plausible assumption, it is far from obvious that it can be given a deontological rationale (and it has also been famously rejected by a number of deontologists).

Ben Kiesewetter is a Professor of Practical Philosophy at Bielefeld University in Germany. In this talk, Kiesewetter will criticize Scanlon’s contractualist attempt to defend the duty to save the greater number. He will then present and defend a new proposal, which appeals to a theory-neutral principle about how contributory moral reasons combine in determining an all-things-considered obligations.

art exhibition

Resonance: The Ink Paintings of Zhang Bo

Opening Reception: May 6, 2:00 pm
Exhibition: May 6 – 9, 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
GRRIC Graduate Student Gallery, Art Building Room 315

This exhibition is the culmination of a research project on gallery design by Celia Langford, MA in Asian Studies at University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, class of ‘24. She is thrilled to present the ink work of contemporary artist Zhang Bo, a Chinese-born oil painter who experimented with traditional Chinese ink painting during his time in the United States in the 1980s and 90s. He produced as a result this striking set of “hybrid” East-West style works in traditional Chinese media.

Zhang’s brushwork brims with dynamic energy, demonstrating what the earliest Chinese standards of painting would call, “spirit-resonance.” His works span a wide range of subject matter and technique, and are rewarding of imaginative viewing. For this reason, the exhibit is designed without any one interpretation in mind; there are no labels. You are warmly invited to explore, peruse, and tease out exciting possibilities. In what many and sundry ways may these pieces “resonate” – within themselves – with one another – with the larger reality each of us brings in from the world beyond this gallery…?
