HUANG-THESIS.Pdf (5.392Mb) Copyright by Mei Huang 2010 The Thesis Committee for Mei Huang Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Obedience, Confrontation and Riposte: The Internet and The Traditional Media in Mainland China APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Supervisor: Chien-hsin Tsai Sung-sheng Yvonne Chang Obedience, Confrontation and Riposte: The Internet and The Traditional Media in Mainland China by Mei Huang, B.A. Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2010 For My Country and My People Acknowledgements My thanks first go to Professor Chien-hsin Tsai, who not only acted as the supervisor, offering me generous support from the last fall to this spring, but also helped me with every step in the hard process, even proofreading. Without his boundless inspirations, disciplines and encouragement, I would not be able to accomplish my thesis like a miracle. Over the last three years, I have greatly benefited from Professor Sung-Sheng Yvonne Chang. She always gave me confidence and understanding in my hardest time, as well as substantial guidance and support. She extremely impressed me, and taught me even more. I want to express my thanks to the Department of Asian Studies at The University of Texas at Austin, which completely supported my studies throughout the three years. I appreciate many colleagues, classmates and friends in China, the United States and other countries, for their sincere concerns, warnings, comments, suggestions, so on and so forth. I especially thank Dr. Arlen Nydam for his crucial contribution to my writing. Last but not least, I owe my parents too much since I was born. Although they have never been to Texas, I can feel their love at any time, just like they were by my side. I love them forever, no matter I will be in which corner of the world. May 1st, 2010 v Abstract Obedience, Confrontation and Riposte: The Internet and The Traditional Media in Mainland China Mei Huang, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2010 Supervisor: Chien-hsin Tsai This thesis discusses the relationship between the two forces—the Internet and the conventional media, and the rules and etiquette that have governed these media from the mid-1990s to present day. I divide the history of interaction between them into three phases, corresponding to different power balances and stances in the field of cultural production. By analyzing three Internet-themed TV talk show episodes, I probe how the Internet has gradually evolved into an active competitor, and how the conventional media have correspondingly changed their stance in response to their thriving counterpart. vi Table of Contents List of Tables ......................................................................................................... ix List of Figures..........................................................................................................x 1 Introduction...........................................................................................................1 I.

The Internet and Internet Culture As a new medium, the Internet challenges conventional media in Mainland China and struggles with them. In this thesis, I discuss the relationship between the two forces—the Internet and conventional media (such as television, radio, newspapers, magazines),1 and the rules and etiquette that have governed these media from the mid-1990s to present day. These relationships, unwritten rules and etiquette, which I will refer to as “codes”2 of their competition, form the ground of their existence and set the parameters for their competition with one another. By analyzing three Internet-themed TV talk show episodes, I examine three different phases of this competition, probing how the Internet has gradually evolved 1 In this thesis, “traditional media,” “conventional media” and “mainstream media”, all refer to all forms of media that appear in use by the official power before the Internet and have already been taken fully control of the official power. I emphasize television though, though my emphasis is on television. 2 Lessig first describes the term “code” of the Internet, which is comparable to the law in society: the Internet, the software, and the rules are created by various groups such as state organs, individuals, and companies. The code represents the combination and interaction of the software, hardware, and rules and etiquette of the Internet. The structure of the code derives, therefore, from the power struggles between different groups. As Lessig argues: “We can build, or architect, or code cyberspace to protect values that we believe are fundamental, or we can build, or architect, or code cyberspace to allow those values to disappear. [. .] Code is never found; it is only ever made, and only ever made by us.” See Lessig, Lawrence, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace (New York: Basic Books, 1999), 6. Likewise, in this thesis, I draw this term back from cyberspace to real life, and define the “code” as the law in the media field. 1 into an active competitor in the field of cultural production, and how the conventional

  • Warriors As the Feminised Other
    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

Through this examination my aim is to bring into greater relief some of the aspirations invested in guoxue by its contemporary protagonists, and also to highlight some of the conundrums associated with those aspirations.

  • Talons and Fangs of the Eastern Han Warlords
    Talons and Fangs of the Eastern Han Warlords Yimin Lu A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Yimin Lu (2009) ii Talons and Fangs of the Eastern Han Warlords Yimin Lu, Ph. D Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto, 2009 Abstract Warriors are a less visible topic in the study of imperial China. They did not write history, but they made new history by destroying the old. The fall of the first enduring Chinese empire, the Han, collides with the rise of its last warriors known as the “talons and fangs.” Despite some classical or deceptive myths like the Chinese ideal of bloodless victories and a culture without soldiers, the talons and fangs of the Eastern Han warlords demonstrated the full potential of military prestige in a Confucian hierarchy, the bloodcurdling reality of dynastic rivalry, as well as a romantic tradition infatuated with individual heroism. iii Table of Content： Introduction (1-22) Chapter One (23-68) The Age of Warlords 1.

  • Sicilian Chinese Art Collections and Chinoiserie
    ARCHITETTURA, ARTI E PIANIFICAZIONE DIPARTIMENTO DI ARCHITETTURA L-ART 04 – MUSEOLOGIA E CRITICA ARTISTICA E DEL RESTAURO SICILIAN CHINESE ART COLLECTIONS AND CHINOISERIE IL DOTTORE IL COORDINATORE Mei Xiaoxue Prof. Marco Rosario Nobile IL TUTOR CO TUTOR Prof. Pierfrancesco Palazzotto Dr. Alexander Auf der Heyde CICLO XXX 2018 ABSTRACT L'Europa ha creato uno stile unico di design decorativo nei secoli XVII-XVIII che è stato profondamente ispirato allo stile orientale di Cina, Giappone e India. Lo stile europeo è rimasto sconosciuto alla Cina in quel momento, ed è anche raramente menzionato nella storia dell'arte moderna e del design cinese. Tuttavia, la Chinoiserie ha rappresentato un tema ricorrente all'interno degli stili artistici europei, che non si presenta come una moda regionale, ma bensì come un movimento d'arte complesso e variabile in tutta Europa. La significativa ricerca sul design Chinoiserie è stata intrapresa nei XX-XXI secoli, con centinaia di monografie e articoli pubblicati in inglese, francese, tedesco e italiano, discutendo direttamente e indirettamente della Chinoiserie. La Sicilia, la più grande isola del Mediterraneo, ha un brillante patrimonio storico e culturale. Nella prima metà del XIX secolo, la Sicilia e il Regno di Napoli furono uniti nel Regno delle Due Sicilie dalla Casa di Borbone. La Chinoiserie fu introdotta in Sicilia un po' più tardi come stile decorativo ben sviluppato dopo essere stato influenzato in un certo grado negli altri paesi europei. Nonostante il numero limitato di prodotti orientali in Sicilia, le opere d'arte uniche qui sono encomiabili. Questa tesi interpreta la Chinoiserie Siciliana in quattro aspetti principali: le opere d‘arte tradizionali della Cina, i prodotti cinesi di esportazione, i prodotti mimetici dell‘Europa e la Chinoiserie siciliana all'interno del movimento d'arte europeo.

  • Rule of Law in China and Information Equality-Following Mr
    Rule of Law in China and Information Equality-Following Mr. Yi Zhongtian’s Speech Wang Jianjiang Mr. Yi Zhongtian, who became famous in CCTV’s “Lecture Room”, is still vigorous in his mind, and many of his wonderful speeches continue to spread on the Internet. In particular, his recent video on the rule of law in China has gained wider approval. According to Yi Zhongtian, a society ruled by law demands a premise of four types of major equality. That is, humans are equal before the contract, the law, the truth, and the morality. It makes sense, and also has historical and practical grounds, so it should be studied as the subject of rule of law in China. The idea of equality has long been produced by mankind. Lao Tzu in China pointed out in his Five Thousand Words: “The way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the inadequacy; the way of the people is the other way round. The peasant uprisings in Chinese history speaking of “enforcing justice on behalf of heaven” did probably not exceed Lao Tzu, and it is most likely to pull Lao Tzu’s banner to impress others. And Yi Zhongtian’s so-called four types of major equality should be something that appeared in modern human civilization, and it is not as universal as the idea of equality in the world. This is because the four types of major equality not only reflected in ideology, but also more importantly in contract, jurisprudence, truth, and morality, are an organic unity of theory and practice for their embodiment in the ideological consciousness, legal system, social contract, ethics and other various aspects of civilization.
