Recapping the Academic Seminar “Ancestral Shade: Kinship and Ecology in Southeastern China” conducted by Dr. Ian MILLER on 4 January 2022

Dr. Ian MILLER, Assistant Professor of History at St. John’s University, was invited by the Department to deliver a lecture entitled “Ancestral Shade: Kinship and Ecology in Southeastern China” on 4 January 2022.

In this talk, Dr. MILLER explored the implications that grave disputes have for our understanding of the interplay between kinship and ecology in the village landscape throughout the southeastern China. Despite influenced by the customs and traditions of China throughout many dynasties, these villages are inevitable products of a particular institutional arrangement – the local lineage organization. He then shared how the village landscape was determined by the relationship between different kinships interwoven each other and their interactions with the ecological environment surrounding them. He illustrated the placement and management of graves which occupied a relatively small area of the village landscape but had a critical effect over the development of the villages, especially incorporated with the fengshui geomancy which played an overarching role in organizing human relations with the local landscape.
