The Cornell Classical Chinese Colloquium (CCCC) 古文品讀 is pleased to have Lucas Bender (East Asian Languages, Yale) lead this text reading.

Bender's text-reading is on "What Troubles the World is Inequality": Politics Before Metaphysics in Guo Xiang's 郭象 (252-312) Zhuangzi 莊子 Commentary

Faculty hosts: TJ Hinrichs (History, Cornell) and Suyoung Son (Asian Studies, Cornell). Sponsored by the East Asia Program. The Cornell Classical Chinese Colloquium (CCCC) 古文品讀 is a reading group for scholars interested in premodern Sinographic (古文) text. The group typically meets monthly during the semester to explore a variety of classical Chinese texts and styles. Other premodern texts linked to classical Chinese in Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese have been explored. Presentations include works from the earliest times to the 20th century. Workshop sessions are led by local, national, and international scholars.

All are welcome with any level of experience with classical Chinese. At each session, a participant presents a classical Chinese text. Attendees discuss historical, literary, linguistic, and other aspects of the text, working together to resolve difficulties in comprehension and translation. No preparation is required. All texts will be distributed at the meeting.

If you are unable to attend in person, you may register in advance here.

Nobuko Yamasaki, Assistant Professor, Department of Languages and Literatures, Program in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Lehigh University speaks about her book titled, Prostitutes, Hostesses, and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire.

Analyzing materials from literature and film, this book considers the fates of women who did not or could not buy into the Japanese imperial ideology of “good wives, wise mothers” in support of male-empire building. Although many feminist critics have articulated women’s active roles as dutiful collaborators in the project of empire, their attention has focused principally on male-dominated narratives of empire building. In contrast, the roles of marginalized women such as sex workers, women entertainers, and hibakusha have rarely been analyzed. This book addresses this intellectual lacuna by closely examining memories of, (semi-)autobiographical short stories, and newspaper articles, grounded in and inspired by lived experiences not only in Japan but also in Shanghai, Manchukuo, colonial Korea, and the Pacific.
