Almost $13 billion of Ameri- can aid helped Europeans rebuild their shattered economies and avoid financial disaster. Once again, debt-ridden Europe needs to be rescued. But with its fi- nances vying with Europe in the feckless stakes, Washington is in no position to repeat the rescue act it staged nearly 65 years ago. So who else has trillions of dol- lars of spare cash lying around? No prizes for guessing the an- swer: China.

Wei said too that China should be in no hurry to buy more European bonds, having already made losses on ex- isting purchases (CBN reckons Eu- ropean debt makes up a quarter of foreign exchange reserves).

  • Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance
    Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance Zheyu Wei A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of Creative Arts The University of Dublin, Trinity College 2017 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library Conditions of use and acknowledgement. ___________________ Zheyu Wei ii Summary This thesis is a study of Chinese experimental theatre from the year 1990 to the year 2014, to examine the involvement of Chinese theatre in the process of globalisation – the increasingly intensified relationship between places that are far away from one another but that are connected by the movement of flows on a global scale and the consciousness of the world as a whole. The central argument of this thesis is that Chinese post-Cold War experimental theatre has been greatly influenced by the trend of globalisation. This dissertation discusses the work of a number of representative figures in the “Little Theatre Movement” in mainland China since the 1980s, e.g. Lin Zhaohua, Meng Jinghui, Zhang Xian, etc., whose theatrical experiments have had a strong impact on the development of contemporary Chinese theatre, and inspired a younger generation of theatre practitioners. Through both close reading of literary and visual texts, and the inspection of secondary texts such as interviews and commentaries, an overview of performances mirroring the age-old Chinese culture’s struggle under the unprecedented modernising and globalising pressure in the post-Cold War period will be provided.

  • Abstract Taiwanese Identity and Transnational Families
    ABSTRACT TAIWANESE IDENTITY AND TRANSNATIONAL FAMILIES IN THE CINEMA OF ANG LEE Ting-Ting Chan, Ph.D. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2017 Scott Balcerzak, Director This dissertation argues that acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee should be regarded as a Taiwanese transnational filmmaker. Thus, to best understand his work, a Taiwanese sociopolitical context should be employed to consider his complicated national identity as it is reflected in his films across genres and cultures. Previous Ang Lee studies see him merely as a transnational Taiwanese-American or diasporic Chinese filmmaker and situate his works into a broader spectrum of either Asian-American culture or Chinese national cinema. In contrast, this dissertation argues his films are best understood through a direct reference to Taiwan’s history, politics, and society. The chapters examine eight of Lee’s films that best explain his Taiwanese national identity through different cultural considerations: Pushing Hands (1992) and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) are about maternity; The Wedding Banquet (1993) and Brokeback Mountain (2005) consider homosexuality; The Ice Storm (1997) and Taking Woodstock (2009) represent a collective Taiwanese view of America; and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Lust, Caution (2007) reflect and challenge traditions of Taiwan Cinema. The eight films share three central leitmotifs: family, a sympathetic view of cultural outsiders, and a sympathy for the losing side. Through portraying various domestic relations, Lee presents archetypal families based in filial piety, yet at the same time also gives possible challenges represented by a modern era of equal rights, liberalism, and individualism – which confront traditional Taiwanese-Chinese family views.

    Chinese Indie Films across the Century and Metamorphic Micro Cinema School of Journalism, Fudan University Instructor: Yong Liu, Lecturer Office: Room 423, Office BLDG Phone: 8621-55664681, 86-13916198152 Email: [email protected] Class time: Office hours: Course Description This course will systematically introduce contemporary Chinese independent filmmaking from around the start of the 1990s, its 10-year “underground” status since then, and another 10 years of market-struggling status quo in China. The final bloc of the course will be focused on the emerging Chinese Micro Cinema mainly distributed through online, which is the transforming and evolving morph in the digitization era of its passing predecessor—Chinese Indie Films. In class, through analyzing and discussing clips of important representative works by Chinese independent filmmakers in different periods of time, students will have a chance to delve into these renown films and more importantly take a close look at the cultural, economic, and political transformations in Chinese society over the last two decades (1990s and 2000s). Also, by reviewing the currently popularizing representative works of Chinese Micro Cinema and comparing it with a prostrating predecessor, alongside the required textbook and articles, this course will shed some light on Chinese popular culture and ethos evolvement over the past 20 years. This will enable students a profound insight into the trajectory of this evolvement in the context of over 30 years of Chinese economic reform and nearly a decade of rapid development. Also, students will divide into groups and each group of 4-5 members will making a 15 minute digital micro cinema (short film) as the final term project.

    Film gatekeepers corp. presents… So this is China? Chinese cinema(s) distribution and circulation: between global markets, capitalist art-houses, and informal venues of resistance. By Rebeca Lucia Galindo B.Sc., Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga, 2009 Extended Essay Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication in Global Communication Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology Rebeca Lucia Galindo 2014 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2014 Approval Name: Rebeca Lucia Galindo Degree: Master of Arts (Communication) Title: Film gatekeepers corp. presents… So this is China? Chinese cinema(s) distribution and circulation: between global markets, capitalist art-houses, and informal venues of resistance Supervisory Committee: Program Director: Yuezhi Zhao Professor Katherine Reilly Senior Supervisor Professor Sun Yingchun Supervisor Communication University of China Date Defended/Approved: August 8, 2014 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Abstract This paper argues that our access of Chinese films is mediated by politicized cannons, non-transparent global distribution patterns, and the commodified need of cultural audiovisual references. To observe how global distribution and circulation of Chinese cinemas materialize an exploratory case study was used to analyze those Chinese films that have been distributed in important art-houses in Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Peru in recent years. The analysis shows how distribution for that part of the global south is translocal and problematically rooted in European and U.S. hegemonic media capitals. This has implications for how we think about China’s ideological projection. Este documento argumenta que el acceso a los filmes chinos está mediado por cánones politizados, patrones globales no-transparentes y la necesidad comodificada de referencias culturales audiovisuales.

  • Institut Confucius De L'université Paris Diderot En Collaboration Avec Le Centre De Documentation Sur Le Cinéma Chinois De Paris (Cdccparis)
    Institut Confucius de l'université Paris Diderot en collaboration avec le Centre de documentation sur le cinéma chinois de Paris (cdccparis) De l'écrit à l'écran 3ème saison Notre cycle « De l’écrit à l’écran » en arrive à sa troisième saison. Cette année, nous vous proposons non seulement des adaptations d’œuvres littéraires et de pièces de théâtre (théâtre moderne et opéra traditionnel), mais aussi de scénarios qui, en Chine, ont souvent une qualité propre qui leur vaut d’être parfois publiés comme des œuvres littéraires à part entière. C’est un aspect original du cinéma chinois qui remonte à sa relation étroite, dès les années 1920 mais surtout 1930, avec les intellectuels issus du mouvement du 4 mai dont un grand nombre, férus de littérature et de théâtre, voyaient dans le cinéma un moyen de s’ouvrir à la modernité. Rédigés dans un style littéraire, les scénarios écrits dans ce contexte furent d’ailleurs appelés « scénarios littéraires » (电影文学剧本 diànyǐng wénxué jùběn) et souvent publiés dans des revues cinématographiques. Les scénarios des écrivains, par la suite, ont été publiés au même titre que leurs romans. Il s’agit, indirectement, de rendre hommage à cette tradition à une époque où l’on accorde bien peu d’importance au scénariste, en oubliant combien, en Chine, les liens particulièrement étroits entre intellectuels et cinéastes ont favorisé les réflexions en miroir que le cinéma et la littérature se renvoient depuis toujours, en enrichissant et l’un et l’autre. 1. 天伦 / Tianlun / The Soul of China (scénario de ZHONG Shigen).

  • Can You Date Your Friend's Ex and Keep Your Friend?
    Can You Date Your Friend’s Ex And Keep Your Friend? By Jane Greer, Ph.D. for GalTime.com Supermodel Naomi Campbell is one of the most well-known faces in the fashion industry and the creator of the model-search reality show The Face. It was on the show that Campbell met and began a mentorship with the aspiring model and former Miss Universe China, Luo Zilin. Luo was the runner up on the show and the last model standing on Naomi’s “team.” She has a long history of modeling successes around the world. But this week it was reported that her contract with MIX Model Management NYC was abruptly terminated. The agency cited an “unacceptable work ethic” and “unprofessional conduct.” The firing comes just a few weeks after Luo was photographed on vacation with Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin who happens to be Naomi’s ex, leaving many to speculate that Naomi was somehow behind the firing. Naomi and Vladimir broke up earlier this year after dating since 2010. Related: Celebrity Couple Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.: How Does A Couple Cope With Illness? Naomi is known for her temper — she was charged with assault in 2006 for throwing a phone at her assistant— and rumors abound that it was she who made sure Luo was punished for liaising with her ex. This raises the question that many face: is it ever OK to date the former flame of a friend or mentor? And if that opportunity comes up, what is the best way to handle it? This goes to the very core of friendship or mentoring — so much is freely given and exchanged in those relationships that the lines can become blurred as to what is realistic to expect to be mutual.
