{"title":"Versatility, Interdisciplinarity, and Academic Collaboration: Paul Pickowicz’s Insights on Chinese Studies","authors":"Hanchao Lu","doi":"10.1080/1547402x.2020.1788866","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1547402x.2020.1788866","url":null,"abstract":"Paul G. Pickowicz, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History and Chinese Studies and Inaugural Holder of the Endowed Chair in Modern Chinese History from 2007 to 2017 at the University of California, San Diego, is one of the country’s leading historians of modern China. For four decades, he has published on a wide range of topics on Chinese history. He is known for being a versatile researcher, an interdisciplinary scholar, and a visionary program builder. In his works Pickowicz has investigated social and political change in rural North China, the impact of the Cultural Revolution on Chinese peasants, the history of Chinese cinema, Cold War propaganda strategies, rural protest and Chinese soft-power initiatives, and Marxism and Chinese intellectuals. Pickowicz is also one of the prime movers behind the study of the People’s Republic as a subfield in modern Chinese history. His book Chinese Village, Socialist State (coauthored with Edward Friedman and Mark Selden) won the 1993 Joseph Levenson Prize of the Association for Asian Studies and was praised by the New York Review of Books for containing “more telling detail and acute analysis than any other study... of Chinese rural life.” Observer calls the book “by far the best book on the impact of the Chinese Communist Party on peasant life.” As scholars in multiple fields have attested, Pickowicz’s works, though historical at the core, are also intersectional, connecting history with sociology, political science, anthropology, film studies, and cultural studies. Pickowicz has also harnessed his passion for Chinese history, his multidisciplinary approach, and his skill in collaboration to the task of program building. Since the 1990s, he, together with Joseph W. Esherick, has built UCSD’s modern Chinese history program into one of the best in the world and trained a generation of scholars who are playing a leading role in the field. In 2016, Pickowicz was honored by the German government with a Humboldt Research Award for lifetime accomplishments in research and teaching. At the Stanford University workshop on “History, Images, and Politics in the PRC” held in January 2019, Professor Pickowicz graciously agreed to share with me his vision and insight into numerous subjects related to China, past and present, for the Forum of the Chinese Historical Review. The exchange between us covers a good range of topics from Pickowicz’s graduate school years and his first visit to China in 1971, his decades-long fieldwork in a Chinese village, and Chinese film studies to the issues of interdisciplinarity, collaboration, and training The Chinese Historical Review, 27. 1, 50–66, May 2020","PeriodicalId":41429,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Historical Review","volume":"27 1","pages":"50 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1547402x.2020.1788866","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42319545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Minjian: the Rise of China’s Grassroots Intellectuals","authors":"G. Yi","doi":"10.1080/1547402X.2020.1788871","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1547402X.2020.1788871","url":null,"abstract":"politics and radical welfare reforms were highly unusual, the problems that challenged Chinese welfare reformers were not. The difficulties posed by the high cost of expanding social insurance coverage is a poor economy were faced by almost all developing countries in the postwar period. Scarcity provides a simpler explanation of the changing dynamics of Chinese welfare politics in the 1950s than either level or the nature of income inequality. It might also serve to reconcile the contradictory findings about class segmentation and welfare coalitions in Western Europe and Latin America. With the national social assistance program and broad welfare coverage in health care and pension programs, the new Chinese welfare state can be expected to reduce poverty, especially in the countryside. But unless there are major policy changes, the Chinese welfare state will not be as progressive as the European welfare states or even the American welfare state. Nara Dillon used new materials to build up a solid analytical foundation for his case study of the radical inequalities: China’s Revolutionary Welfare State in Comparative Perspective. He correctly pointed out that many factors caused the inequalities after the Communist took control over mainland China under a universal coverage welfare goals and policies, but the most obvious and important was the poor economic conditions. He chose the gap between urban residents between the state owned employees and the collective entity employees over their workplace welfare; the narrow coverage among the urban residents and the residents in rural areas. He compared these inequalities in China with those in other developing countries and showed that they all reflected certain level of similarity in nature. Nara Dillon reached his conclusion that the institutional build up of the welfare state in China cannot be comparable to that of the Europe and the United States under current design and model. He noticed the great efforts in China to improve the welfare state would surely reduce poverty level in both the urban area and countryside, but he did not mention how China could catch up with the European or the American standard. The major policy changes he touched that would be progressive as compared to Europe and the United States lacked the persuasive evidences, especially when the global crisis such as Covid-19 breakout occurred.","PeriodicalId":41429,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Historical Review","volume":"27 1","pages":"80 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1547402X.2020.1788871","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45162443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
