  • Imperial Discomfort in Post-Habsburg Tianjin
    Imperial Discomfort in Post-Habsburg Tianjin Miloš Jovanović This visual essay explores the incommensurability of imperial legacies by assembling photographs taken by an inexperienced researcher of Serb/Yugoslav origin in Tianjin ( ), northern 天津 China. The images were collected during a research trip in Feb- ruary 2017, as part of a research project on spaces of imperi- al historicity in former Habsburg cities. The essay represents a visual archive of my discomfort at encountering the intimate legacies of globally unequal colonial heritage. I begin this intervention with an autoethnography, juxtapos- ing my memory and field notes to the cultural and social forc- es which construct my subjectivity as photographer/researcher (Fisher 2015). I focus on my recognition of the research space as “familiar”, mediated by historical and personal narratives of imperial and socialist cityscapes. The essay proceeds to explore how such familiarity is broken, revealing how relations between (post-)imperial subjects remain incommensurable. Finally, I ex- plore how imperial subjectivities inform transnational research practices, stressing the phenomenology of photographic practice. Ultimately, this essay interrogates the limits of visual research practices, as conducted by persons subjectivized by imperial leg- acies of hierarchized and territorialized difference. 97 Familiar Spaces My arrival at Beijing Airport evokes other times and places. In the main hall, the sight of PRC flags transports me to Belgrade in 1999, the bomb shelter below my socialist-era high-rise. I recall being huddled over the only radio alongside our neighbours, listening to crackly reports of US Air Force missiles destroying the Chinese embassy.1 A strong sense of righteous privilege comes over me as I pass Americans and West Europeans, standing in long visa lines.

Barrett Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University 2 Abstract The East India Trading Company (EITC) was one of the first companies to establish a monopoly over goods traded around the world. The EITC spread goods that were typically only found where they originated, such as tea, spices, and opium. The Chinese had access to poppy before the EITC began importing it, and when China levied a ban on opium being imported China, the EITC ignored it and continued to profit off China’s opium addiction. The EITC, and Britain, saw the ban, and the actions taken by China to enforce the ban, as an act of war and reacted as such. This then lead to the first of the two Opium Wars. With the conclusion of each war, the EITC gained more access to open trade in China through the Treaty of Nanjing (First Opium War) and then the Treaty of Tianjin (Second Opium War).

  • Boxers, the American Press, and Us
    “BLOODLUST BARBARIANS AND RIOTOUS HORDES”: BOXERS, THE AMERICAN PRESS, AND U.S. IMPERIALISM IN CHINA A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI’I AT MANOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTERS OF ARTS IN HISTORY AUGUST 2019 By Peyton Levi Bailey Thesis Committee: Suzanna Reiss, Chairperson Shana Brown Wensheng Wang Keywords: US Foreign Relations, Boxer Rebellion, Modern China, Imperialism ABSTRACT “Bloodlust Barbarians and Riotous Hordes”: Boxers, the American Press, and U.S. Imperialism in China by Peyton Levi Bailey Scholarship on early US-China foreign policy primarily focuses on the economic aspects of the relationship such as the Open-Door Policy and the various 19th century Western treaties that secured trade rights for the United States following major conflicts in China such as the First Opium War and the Arrow War. While these elements are significant for the understanding of US-China relations, one impactful event is often overlooked, the American intervention during the Boxer Rebellion. This analysis focuses on how the American press was used as a tool to promote a representative narrative of the Boxers that justified the U.S. military in China. This decision represented a turning point in US-China relations, but was additionally a part of a larger foreign policy shift in the Pacific, primarily in the Philippines. The cultural study of American intervention during the Boxer Rebellion demonstrates how the promotion of a “noble cause” in China persuaded and justified the decision to intervene to American readers. This military action not only impacted China’s domestic situation, but also had a lasting effect on US-China relations until the Communist victory in 1949.
