Das Kapital, painted by a China man.
Time:14:00 on Friday, December 24th.
Location:Bilibili
Guest:Dai Dunbang (painter), Shen Jialu (writer) and Ma Shanglong (writer)
In addition to creating classic images such as A Dream of Red Mansions, Water Margin, Jin Ping Mei, Liaozhai, The Journey to the West and Tao Te Ching, Dai Dunbang also created Marx’s Das Kapital into a picture book, creating 60 masterpieces in 800 days, realizing the long-cherished wish of a China painter for half a century. He read Das Kapital many times and searched for information in many places, often getting up at 3: 30 in the morning to conceive and create. Why did a China painter paint Das Kapital, and how many hardships did ordinary people experience? At the lecture site, two writers in Dai Dunbang and Shanghai, Shen Jialu and Ma Shanglong, who are also "iron fans" of Mr. Dai, will tell you all about it.
Photography in the Forbidden City: Charm, Secularity and Visual Culture in Modern China
Time:December 24th (Friday) 19:00-21:00.
Location:Tencent conference (ID: 60878953558)
Speaker:Jun-jian Liang (Associate Professor, School of Journalism and Communication, Tsinghua University)
During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the Forbidden City changed from a functional political building to a memorial historical building and cultural and cultural unit. In the historical process of China’s modernization, the functional changes of the Forbidden City are intertwined with the cultural practice of modern photography, which affects the reconstruction of the architectural space and meaning space of the Forbidden City. Through the investigation of anthropological photography, tourism photography and news photography related to the Forbidden City in this period, we can find that photography dispelled the charm of the Forbidden City as a secret palace and turned it into a secular, barren and occupied space. On the other hand, anthropology and journalism have transformed the Forbidden City into a cultural landscape and a national symbol, thus giving the Forbidden City a new charm. In this sense, photography is not only a medium to dispel the old charm, but also can produce and reconstruct new charm.
Deleuze’s "Abstract Machine"
Time:December 24th (Friday) 19:00-21:00.
Location:Tencent conference (ID: 33075279867)
Speaker:Li Kelin (Associate Professor and Doctoral Supervisor, School of Philosophy, China Renmin University)
Abstract machine is an important concept in Deleuze’s later theory. In Thousand Plateau, he replaced the desire machine in Anti-Oedipus with abstract machine, trying to separate the active escape line from the passive generation of human beings. In Anti-Oedipus, Deleuze compares the automaticity of production with machines, fills the internal power of production with desire, and combines the two to illustrate the existence of individuals in society with "desire machine". Correspondingly, the "abstract machine" points out the absolute surplus phenomenon of the desire machine in social production, while the "abstract" shows the pure material out of form, while the "machine" turns to the birth of a new form. From the perspective of ontology, "abstract machine" resists the solidification of existence with eternal rheology. From the perspective of vitality theory, "abstract machine" opposes the transcendence of ideas with the immanence of experience. Deleuze explored the possibility of resolving the confrontation between life and machine through this concept, and also intended to respond to the question that always lingered above the limit of "solution domain". The discussion of life initiative through "abstract machine" is not only the theme of Deleuze’s later philosophy, but also constitutes an important trend in the development of contemporary French philosophy.
Fame on Paper: On Education and Justice from Children of Poor Families Going to College
Time:December 24th (Friday) 19:00-21:00.
Location:Tencent conference (ID: 931714617)
Guest:Tian Lei (Professor, School of Law, East China Normal University), Huang Deng (Scholar, Non-fiction Writer), Guo Fei (Assistant Professor, Tsinghua University Institute of Education), Wu Qiuxiang (Lecturer, School of Education, China Renmin University), Yue Ying (Master, Tsinghua University Institute of Marxism).
"Admission is not equal to integration." This sentence was published in "Poor Children Go to College: Why American Elite Universities Turn Their Back on Poor Students". The book is frequently mentioned. When poor students break through the thorns and knock on the university gate, it does not mean that the standard plot of "counterattack" in life will be started from now on. A more realistic scenario is that when you open this door, there is still a road full of unknowns in front of you. Some people will rise from there, while others will gradually give up on themselves in the constant fall. What caused this difference? This salon will invite a number of guests from different disciplines, starting with the book "Children from Poor Families Go to College", to discuss the issues of education and justice, and to compare and think about them in a broader social and historical perspective.

Forty years ago, Italian photographer Andrea Cavazzuti came to China. Nowadays, he has become a kind "old man" in the mouth of his friends. His first photo collection "At Rest: China from 1981 to 1984" was also published, which included more than 190 frames of photos he took in China from 1981 to 1984, and recorded some daily life scenes of China people in that "at ease era". On December 26th, we specially invited Dai Qianfeng, a senior photographer and writer, and Lao An to talk about the daily life of people in that "time of rest" and re-examine the life that may have been forgotten by us.

Hangzhou | Customs and Boundaries —— Thinking from the litigation files
Time:Monday, December 27th, 19:00-21:00.
Location:Room 1127, Creative Building A, Zijingang West District, Zhejiang University, No.866 Yuhangtang Road, Xihu District
Speaker:Du Zhengzhen (Professor, School of History, Zhejiang University)
In litigation files, it is easy to see that etiquette, law and custom together constitute a system of social rules, but what is more interesting is their historical evolution relationship. Disputes over the ownership of mountain fields are also very common. The fierce competition around the boundary confirmation is behind the history of the boundary from scratch, from oral to written, from private agreement to cadastre. Starting from people’s actual operation and expression in litigation, these two examples may lead us to think about the historical process and power mechanism of how people obtain "certainty" and "consensus" in traditional society.
