The convergence of neoliberalism, institutionalization of pan-Chinese documentary films and the historical marginalization of women’s filmmaking in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), respectively, have further perpetuated the marginalization of documentary films by local female filmmakers.

    The Darkest Red Corner Chinese Communist Intelligence and Its Place in the Party, 1926-1945 Matthew James Brazil A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy Department of Government and International Relations Business School University of Sydney 17 December 2012 Statement of Originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted previously, either in its entirety or substantially, for a higher degree or qualifications at any other university or institute of higher learning. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources has been acknowledged. Matthew James Brazil i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before and during this project I met a number of people who, directly or otherwise, encouraged my belief that Chinese Communist intelligence was not too difficult a subject for academic study. Michael Dutton and Scot Tanner provided invaluable direction at the very beginning. James Mulvenon requires special thanks for regular encouragement over the years and generosity with his time, guidance, and library. Richard Corsa, Monte Bullard, Tom Andrukonis, Robert W. Rice, Bill Weinstein, Roderick MacFarquhar, the late Frank Holober, Dave Small, Moray Taylor Smith, David Shambaugh, Steven Wadley, Roger Faligot, Jean Hung and the staff at the Universities Service Centre in Hong Kong, and the kind personnel at the KMT Archives in Taipei are the others who can be named. Three former US diplomats cannot, though their generosity helped my understanding of links between modern PRC intelligence operations and those before 1949.

  • Poh Cheng Khoo Interrogating the Women Warrior
    MIT4 Panel: "Asian Warrior Womanhood in Storytelling." Poh Cheng Khoo Interrogating the Women Warrior: War, Patriotism and Family Loyalty in Lady Warriors of the Yang Family (2001). The medieval Chinese are known to be heavily patriarchal, but even such a culture produced many formidable women warriors…Daughters of prominent military families trained in the martial arts. Wives of generals were often chosen for their battle skills. The Yang family of the Song Dynasty (960-1279 CE) was one such military family. When the men were decimated on various military assignments, their wives, mothers, sisters and even maidservants took their places on the battlefield. (“Warriors: Asian women in Asian society”) “No group of women in Chinese history has commanded so much prestige and respect as the ladies of the Yang family. They are revered as great patriots who were willing to lay down their lives for the sake of their country” (Lu Yanguang, 100 Celebrated Chinese Women, 149). The genesis of this paper lies in a 40-part retelling of one of the more enduring woman warrior stories of historical China. When I saw this particular 2001 TV series which loosely translates into Lady Warriors of the Yang Family, I was working on my dissertation involving Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior and hence the iconic figure of Fa Mu Lan. Contrary to Mulan’s concealment of gender in battle, here was a family of woman warriors from some ten centuries ago, none of whom had to compromise their true biological identity by cross-dressing or, according to Judith Lorber’s definition, turning “transvestite” (Richardson et al [eds.] 42).

Genre and Empire: Historical Romance and Sixteenth-Century Chinese Cultural Fantasies Abstract Chinese historical romance blossomed and matured in the sixteenth century when the Ming empire was increasingly vulnerable at its borders and its people increasingly curious about exotic cultures. The project analyzes three types of historical romances, i.e., military romances Romance of Northern Song and Romance of the Yang Family Generals on northern Song's campaigns with the Khitans, magic-travel romance Journey to the West about Tang monk Xuanzang's pilgrimage to India, and a hybrid romance Eunuch Sanbao's Voyages on the Indian Ocean relating to Zheng He's maritime journeys and Japanese piracy. The project focuses on the trope of exogamous desire of foreign princesses and undomestic women to marry Chinese and social elite men, and the trope of cannibalism to discuss how the expansionist and fluid imagined community created by the fiction shared between the narrator and the reader convey sentiments of proto-nationalism, imperialism, and pleasure.

March, 2016 © Copyright by Yuen Ha TANG 2016 All Rights Reserved This thesis is based entirely upon my own research. Yuen Ha TANG ACKNOWLEDGMENT I owe a debt of gratitude to my supervisor Professor John Minford, for having encouraged me to undertake this study in the first place and for guiding my studies over several years. He gave me generously of his time and knowledge. Since I first became their student in Shanghai in the 1980s, my teachers Yu Zhenfei and Zhang Meijuan (and others) inspired me with their passionate love for the theatre and their unceasing quest for artistic refinement. I am deeply grateful to them all for having passed on to me their rich store of artistry and wisdom. My parents, my sister and her family, have supported me warmly over the years. My mother initiated me in the love of the theatre, and my father urged me to pursue my dream and showed me the power of perseverance. My thanks also go to Geng Tianyuan, fellow artist over many years. His inspired guidance as a director has taught me a great deal. Zhang Peicai and Sun Youhao, outstanding musicians, offered their help in producing the video materials of percussive music. Qi Guhua, my teacher of calligraphy, enlightened me on this perennial and fascinating art. The Hong Kong Arts Development Council has subsidized my company, Jingkun Theatre, since 1998. My assistant Lily Lau has provided much valuable help and my numerous friends and students have given me their constant loyalty and enthusiasm.
