In 1987 archaeologists discovered a crypt beneath the Famen-si (Dharma Gate Monastery) in Shaanxi Province, China, containing four "finger-bone" relics of the Buddha along with a trove of invaluable medieval religious artifacts. Some of the finds are associated with "Esoterism" (aka Tantra or Vajrayana), an important but still poorly understood ritual tradition that flourished briefly in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE). Professor Robert Sharf will offer a new reading of the Famen-si finds, their relationship to Buddhist Esoterism, and their status as "works of art."
This annual lecture is sponsored by the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures and is made possible by the generous gift of the late Mrs. Philip Thomas Lincoln and family.

This paper is a discussion of Hou Hsiao-hsien's long take analyzed as a component of a theory of cinematic realism. I want take up a close reading of Hou’s 2007 film, Flight of the Red Balloon: the first in a series of films commissioned by the Musée d’Orsay on the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Flight of the Red Balloon (2007) expands Hou’s “distinctive aesthetic project” to include Paris and the travails of a modern mother as artist trying to survive in the contemporary metropolis. In the paper, I will try to draw out parallels between Hou's long take and D. W. Winnicott's theories of "play" and "holding." I will, in particular look at temporality, regression and representations of childhood, fantasy and intersubjectivity.
When Hou Hsiao-hsien first attracted international attention his aesthetic ambitions were overshadowed by an emphasis on his commitment to Taiwanese history and the particular issues of cultural memory in its geopolitics. As early as 1996, Nick Browne tried in the pages of Asian Cinema Journal, to recalibrate the critical reception of Hou’s film by engaging in a close reading of Hou’s 1993 film The Puppetmaster.[1] According to Browne, academic discussions of Hou’s work, had tended to obscure the “distinctive features of [Hou’s] aesthetic project by seeming to bring the work closer, and in some cases even to subordinate it, to theoretical discussions of ‘Third Cinema’ and contemporary critiques of colonialism.”[2] Indeed Taiwanese history would seem to lend itself to such discussions of post-colonialism since the island lived under occupying forces, from the Japanese to the Kuomintang for most the 20th century. Browne’s analysis of Hou’s The Puppetmaster presents a masterful demonstration that Hou’s cinema of place offers a particular and powerful intervention in the politics and aesthetics of realism. I want to take Browne’s arguments further and show that Hou is working so in the name of a cinematically forged form of penetrating psychological and even psychoanalytic realism particular to the conditions of modern life.[3]

Event Overview
As a country that has just recently surpassed Japan as the second largest economy of the world, China is at the forefront of discussion in the news today. China has grown at double digit numbers per year for many years, the standard of living has improved dramatically with 400 million people rising above the global poverty line. This notable economic growth has served as a good lesson for many developing countries. It is this phenomenal growth that the University of Michigan’s student organizations wish to explore and provide a deeper understanding of the issues and concerns revolving around China’s growth through an economic and cultural fair.
The objective of our event is to address the social, cultural and economic transformations of China in the past 30 years, how the new values and meaning affects the world and particularly students at the University of Michigan. This event will not only serve as a great opportunity for student to gain their knowledge on issues about China, but also serve as a social event for students to interact with professors and professionals to broaden networks and be inspired by different views on the issue.
