On the Cover YANGJU SANDAE NORI: MASKED DRAMA OF KOREA The dancing girl who seduces an old monk and succumbs to the charms of a drunkard, from the Masked Play of Yangju, Korea, mask made by Yu Kyŏng-sŏng, 1970s. Masked plays satirized the foibles of monks, nobility, and ordinary people and have provided inspiration for more recent political satire. Traditionally, they were performed in different communities throughout the Korean peninsula on ritual occasions to expel ominous forces and secure blessings. Revived in the late 20th century, the Yangju play was designated “Intangible Heritage Asset #2” in 1964. The mask face is made of gourd with features of twisted paper and pine bark, all light-weight for dancing.

    Japanese Aesthetics and The Tale of Genji Liya Li Department of English SUNY/Rockland Community College [email protected] Table of Contents 1. Themes and Uses 2. Instructor’s Introduction 3. Student Readings 4. Discussion Questions 5. Sample Writing Assignments 6. Further Reading and Resources 1. Themes and Uses Using an excerpt from the chapter “The Sacred Tree,” this unit offers a guide to a close examination of Japanese aesthetics in The Tale of Genji (ca.1010). This two-session lesson plan can be used in World Literature courses or any course that teaches components of Zen Buddhism or Japanese aesthetics (e.g. Introduction to Buddhism, the History of Buddhism, Philosophy, Japanese History, Asian Literature, or World Religion). Specifically, the lesson plan aims at helping students develop a deeper appreciation for both the novel and important concepts of Japanese aesthetics. Over the centuries since its composition, Genji has been read through the lenses of some of the following terms, which are explored in this unit: • miyabi (“courtly elegance”; refers to the aristocracy’s privileging of a refined aesthetic sensibility and an indirectness of expression) • mono no aware (the “poignant beauty of things;” describes a cultivated sensitivity to the ineluctable transience of the world) • wabi-sabi (wabi can be translated as “rustic beauty” and sabi as “desolate beauty;” the qualities usually associated with wabi and sabi are austerity, imperfection, and a palpable sense of the passage of time. • yûgen (an emotion, a sentiment, or a mood so subtle and profoundly elegant that it is beyond what words can describe) For further explanation of these concepts, see the unit “Buddhism and Japanese Aesthetics” (forthcoming on the ExEAS website.) 2.

  • The EU-Asia Connectivity Strategy and Its Impact on Asia-Europe Relations
    The EU-Asia Connectivity Strategy and Its Impact on Asia-Europe Relations Bart Gaens INTRODUCTION The EU is gradually adapting to a more uncertain world marked by increasing geo- political as well as geo-economic competition. Global power relations are in a state of flux, and in Asia an increasingly assertive and self-confident China poses a chal- lenge to US hegemony. The transatlantic relationship is weakening, and question marks are being placed on the future of multilateralism, the liberal world order and the rules-based global system. At least as importantly, China is launching vast con- nectivity and infrastructure development projects throughout Eurasia, sometimes interpreted as a geostrategic attempt to re-establish a Sinocentric regional order. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in particular, focussing on infrastructure devel- opment and investments in over 80 countries, including some within Europe, has been causing concern at regional as well as global levels. At the most recent BRI summit in April 2019 Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that China had signed new deals amounting to 64 billion USD, underscoring Beijing’s continuing cheque book diplomacy.1 It is clear that these ongoing dynamics potentially have important ramifica- tions for Europe’s own prosperity, in terms of trade and economy but also security. Overall however, the EU has been slow to react, in particular in formulating a re- sponse to connectivity challenges. In September 2018 the EU published its first coordinated attempt to formulate the European vision on connectivity and infra- structure development, in the form of a European connectivity strategy for Asia, officially entitled a Joint Communication on “Connecting Europe and Asia – building blocks for an EU strategy”.

  • China's Influence on Conflict Dynamics in South Asia
    USIP SENIOR STUDY GROUP FINAL REPORT China’s Influence on Conflict Dynamics in South Asia DECEMBER 2020 | NO. 4 USIP Senior Study Group Report This report is the fourth in USIP’s Senior Study Group (SSG) series on China’s influence on conflicts around the world. It examines how Beijing’s growing presence is affecting political, economic, and security trends in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region. The bipartisan group was comprised of senior experts, former policymakers, and retired diplomats. They met six times by videoconference over the course of 2020 to examine how an array of issues—from military affairs to border disputes, trade and development, and cultural issues—come together to shape and be shaped by Chinese involvement. The group members drew from their deep individual experiences working in and advising the US government to generate a set of top-level findings and actionable policy recommen- dations. Unless otherwise sourced, all observations and conclusions are those of the SSG members.

  • 1 Chapter 1 Introduction As a Chinese Buddhist in Malaysia, I Have Been
    Chapter 1 Introduction As a Chinese Buddhist in Malaysia, I have been unconsciously entangled in a historical process of the making of modern Buddhism. There was a Chinese temple beside my house in Penang, Malaysia. The main deity was likely a deified imperial court officer, though no historical record documented his origin. A mosque serenely resided along the main street approximately 50 meters from my house. At the end of the street was a Hindu temple decorated with colorful statues. Less than five minutes’ walk from my house was a Buddhist association in a two-storey terrace. During my childhood, the Chinese temple was a playground. My friends and I respected the deities worshipped there but sometimes innocently stole sweets and fruits donated by worshippers as offerings. Each year, three major religious events were organized by the temple committee: the end of the first lunar month marked the spring celebration of a deity in the temple; the seventh lunar month was the Hungry Ghost Festival; and the eighth month honored, She Fu Da Ren, the temple deity’s birthday. The temple was busy throughout the year. Neighbors gathered there to chat about national politics and local gossip. The traditional Chinese temple was thus deeply rooted in the community. In terms of religious intimacy with different nearby temples, the Chinese temple ranked first, followed by the Hindu temple and finally, the mosque, which had a psychological distant demarcated by racial boundaries. I accompanied my mother several times to the Hindu temple. Once, I asked her why she prayed to a Hindu deity.

  • Reimagining Revolutionary Labor in the People's Commune
    Reimagining Revolutionary Labor in the People’s Commune: Amateurism and Social Reproduction in the Maoist Countryside by Angie Baecker A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Asian Languages and Cultures) in the University of Michigan 2020 Doctoral Committee: Professor Xiaobing Tang, Co-Chair, Chinese University of Hong Kong Associate Professor Emily Wilcox, Co-Chair Professor Geoff Eley Professor Rebecca Karl, New York University Associate Professor Youngju Ryu Angie Baecker [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0003-0182-0257 © Angie Baecker 2020 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my grandmother, Chang-chang Feng 馮張章 (1921– 2016). In her life, she chose for herself the penname Zhang Yuhuan 張宇寰. She remains my guiding star. ii Acknowledgements Nobody writes a dissertation alone, and many people’s labor has facilitated my own. My scholarship has been borne by a great many networks of support, both formal and informal, and indeed it would go against the principles of my work to believe that I have been able to come this far all on my own. Many of the people and systems that have enabled me to complete my dissertation remain invisible to me, and I will only ever be able to make a partial account of all of the support I have received, which is as follows: Thanks go first to the members of my committee. To Xiaobing Tang, I am grateful above all for believing in me. Texts that we have read together in numerous courses and conversations remain cornerstones of my thinking. He has always greeted my most ambitious arguments with enthusiasm, and has pushed me to reach for higher levels of achievement.
