Exile As Formative Experience in Classical Chinese Poetry
Video of full lecture with presentation slides edited into the video.The East Asia Program is honored to have Haun Saussy, East Asian Languages and Civilizations, University of Chicago give this year's Hu Shih Distinguished Lecture: "Exile As Formative Experience in Classical Chinese Poetry."
The “myth of loyalty and dissent” (as Laurence Schneider put it) surrounding the figure of Qu Yuan has structured a great many self-representations by cast-off officials. But when poets banished to the margins of the empire adopt Qu Yuan as a source of style and allusion, the result is, often enough, a gain in descriptive and evocative power. By calling the experience of exile “formative” in the cases of Xie Lingyun 謝靈運, Shen Quanqi 沈全期, Song Zhiwen 宋之問, and Su Shi 蘇軾, I aim to put biography in second place. What occupies the foreground is rather the fashioning of transpersonal roles and attitudes that could be adopted by later poets— replicating the author-function that had made Qu Yuan such a powerful reference.
Professor Saussy's primary teaching and research interests include classical Chinese poetry and commentary, literary theory, comparative study of oral traditions, problems of translation, pre-twentieth-century media history, and ethnography and ethics of medical care.Cornell East Asia Program, the Departments of Asian Studies, History, and the Cornell Society for the Humanities.1_w4drhb0
Chimpanzees’ object encoding in the context of observed joint physical attention interactions involving human or chimpanzee models
Previous research has shown that human toddlers can utilize physical cues of interpersonal sharedness, such as proximity or touch, in addition to visual cues, such as eye-contact, to infer that two individuals are engaged in joint attention towards an object. When observing two adults looking at an object in close physical proximity, 18-month-olds show enhanced object encoding compared to when seeing them looking at an object in parallel, without being interpersonally connected (Thiele, Gredebäck, & Haun, 2022, https://osf.io/g7nsq). This study aims to investigate this effect in chimpanzees using still images of chimpanzee-like 3D characters (experiment 1, preregistration 1). Additionally, the study seeks to investigate whether this effect extends to scenarios where chimpanzees observe social interactions between human-like characters (experiment 2, preregistration 2).

Wild and zoo-housed orangutans differ in how they explore objects
Abstract In human infants, exploratory object manipulations (henceforth called “EOM”) stimulate cognitive development and affect cognitive performance in later life. Zoo-housed great apes are frequently used to study the evolution of human cognition, however, it is unknown how the zoo environment affects their daily expression of EOM. We investigated how wild and zoo-housed Sumatran orangutans differ in their daily EOM throughout life. We collected ~ 12′000 EOM events by 51 wild and zoo-housed individuals of all ages. Zoo-housed orangutans showed significantly higher EOM rates than wild orangutans. Exploratory actions were more diverse in zoos than in the wild, even with objects available in both settings. Zoo-housed orangutans also showed a larger repertoire of exploratory actions and a higher probability of multi-object exploration, including tool use. There was no difference between settings at which age individuals first showed specific exploratory actions. Our results show that the zoo environment significantly affects EOM in orangutans and that the species’ exploratory potential exceeds its natural expression. This may have important implications for cognitive performance, as zoo-housed individuals are likely to have a broader range of affordances to draw from when confronted with novel problems. These results highlight the potential of captive-wild comparisons to study cognitive development and evolution
Toddlers’ object encoding in the context of observed joint physical attention interactions involving human-like 3D models
Previous research has shown that toddlers can utilize physical cues of interpersonal sharedness, such as proximity or touch, in addition to visual cues, such as eye-contact, to infer that two individuals are engaged in joint attention towards an object. When observing two adults looking at an object in close physical proximity, 18-month-olds show enhanced object encoding compared to when seeing them looking at an object in parallel, without being interpersonally connected (Thiele, Gredebäck, & Haun, 2022, https://osf.io/g7nsq). This study aims to conceptually replicate this finding using still images instead of dynamic videos, and featuring human-like 3D models instead of real human actors. In a screen-based object encoding paradigm, 18-month-old toddlers will be presented with still images depicting two models looking at a toy-like object. Based on a within-subjects design, the scenes will vary in terms of the level of interpersonal connectedness between the models during the object-directed look, operationalized through interpersonal touch and proximity (“joint physical attention”: both models look at the same object while mutually touching each other in close physical proximity, “parallel attention”: both models look at the same object in a distal setting with no interpersonal touch involved)
Toddlers’ object encoding in the context of observed joint physical attention between human and chimpanzee characters
Previous research has shown that toddlers can utilize physical cues of interpersonal sharedness, such as proximity or touch, in addition to visual cues, such as eye-contact, to infer that two individuals are engaged in joint attention towards an object. When observing two adults looking at an object in close physical proximity, 18-month-olds show enhanced object encoding compared to when seeing them looking at an object in parallel, without being interpersonally connected (Thiele, Gredebäck, & Haun, 2022, https://osf.io/g7nsq). This study aims to conceptually replicate this finding using still images instead of dynamic videos, and featuring human-like 3D characters instead of real human actors. Additionally, the study seeks to investigate whether this effect extends to scenarios where toddlers observe social interactions between non-human, chimpanzee characters. In a screen-based object encoding paradigm, 18-month-old toddlers will be presented with still images depicting two models looking at a toy-like object. Based on a within-subjects 2x2 design, the scenes will vary in terms of (a) the level of interpersonal connectedness between the models during the object-directed look, operationalized through interpersonal touch and proximity (“joint physical attention”: both models look at the same object while mutually touching each other in close physical proximity, “parallel attention”: both models look at the same object in a distal setting with no interpersonal touch involved), and (b) the species of the featured models (human- or chimpanzee-like 3D characters)
