First ChinaMade Workshop marks beginning of a three year project funded by the Henry Luce Foundation Grant
First ChinaMade Workshop:
Conceiving Infrastructures in a Chinese Register
Workshop Overview:
This will be the first of three workshops for a Henry Luce Foundation-funded initiative titled “China Made: Asian Infrastructures and the ‘China Model’ of Development.” We seek to develop a theoretical and methodological agenda for bringing infrastructure studies into conversation with China’s domestic and export infrastructures. Building on Harvey et al’s (2017, 6,) argument that: “The question ‘what is infrastructure’ must be addressed and experimented with, in registers at once conceptual and empirical”, this workshop will focus on how to conceive, theorize, and research China’s infrastructural developments within and beyond its borders. The goal of this workshop is to bring together participants who focus on China with those who have studied infrastructures in other Asian contexts, to sharpen questions and methods of analysis for further investigations of the conceptual-empirical registers of China’s infrastructural development.
