The Annual Conference Program is published annually by the Association for Asian Studies, 1021 E. Huron St., Ann Arbor, MI 48104, USA. It is printed in March and mailed to all AAS members and conference attendees. 70 Years of Asian Studies The Association for Asian Studies (AAS), formed in 1941 as the Far Eastern Association, has evolved from a few hundred scholars focused largely on China and Japan to well over 7,000 members worldwide representing all the regions and countries of Asia. Similarly, from its first conference, held in Leiden in 1998 and more On the Cover recently in Asian venues, the International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) has grown to become the largest biennial Asian studies conference outside of the U.S. While the structure, activities, and culture of each organization vary somewhat, they share the common goals of promoting the study of Asia and transcending the boundaries between disciplines, nations, and geographic origins of scholars of Asia. This special conference of the AAS and ICAS will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the AAS by combining elements of each organization’s respective annual and biennial meetings and is expected to be the largest ever gathering of Asian studies scholars and students. It certainly will be the largest formal program, with over 760 panels, roundtables, and workshops addressing a wide range of topics and issues, as well as exhibits, a video program, music and theater performances, business meetings, receptions, and other social functions. In the spirit of marking this significant milestone in organizational history, collaboration, and growth, we encourage all conference attendees to attend the retrospective roundtable “70 Years of Asian Studies” scheduled for Saturday, April 2. In this roundtable, a distinguished cast of scholars active within the association will look back at how the AAS has addressed various issues affecting the field of Asian studies over the years, and, just as important, how it might anticipate and prepare for future challenges as Asia becomes ever more prominent in world affairs and the public consciousness. We are sure the conference will be memorable in many respects, and we encourage everyone to take advantage of the many outstanding events and sessions this unique collaboration between AAS and ICAS presents. Kanchenjunga from Darjeeling by Edward Lear Depicting the Kanchenjunga and nearby forest, this painting is currently on display in the Yale Center of British Art. It is very dramatic, with a lot of forest cover and the Kanchenjunga in the background and a sprinkling of Lepchas and Lama figures in the foreground. It was painted in 1879 after Lear visited Darjeeling and after the tea garden industry was thriving. This is a stunning depiction of the majesty Photo permission gratiously provided by the and beauty of the Indian Himalaya by a Yale Center for British Art. British landscape artist in the late nineteenth century. It was selected as much for its striking aesthetic appeal, as it is useful to remind scholars of Asia of the many ways in which landscapes and livelihoods, important as an environmental and historical legacy for Asian societies, are increasingly vulnerable to the pressures of rapid industrial development, conflicts over natural resources, and the complicated border crossings in which they became inevitably enmeshed in the twentieth century.

Used as a noun in English, it designates someone who as easily emanates cachet as pre- tension, of the sort often associated with style items or fashion habits imported from France. As an adjective, however, “cinéphile” describes a state of mind and an emotion that, one the whole, has been seductive to a happy few while proving beneficial to film culture in general. The term “cinephilia,” finally, re- verberates with nostalgia and dedication, with longings and discrimination, and it evokes, at least to my generation, more than a passion for going to the movies, and only a little less than an entire attitude toward life.

    Univerzita Karlova Filozofická fakulta Katedra sinologie Studijní program filologie Jan Križan Xiangsheng v ČLR: od nástroje budování nové Číny k satirickému komentáři současné společnosti Bakalářská práce Xiangsheng in PRC: From a Tool of the New China Ideology to Social Satire Bachelor thesis 2021 Vedoucí práce: prof. PhDr. Olga Lomová, CSc. PODĚKOVÁNÍ Tímto bych chtěl poděkovat především paní profesorce Lomové za výběr skvělého tématu, svižnou komunikaci, a také za veškeré její připomínky, návrhy a komentáře. Dále děkuji svým rodičům a jejich všestranné podpoře, díky které jsem měl ideální podmínky k napsání této práce. ČESTNÉ PROHLÁŠENÍ Prohlašuji, že jsem bakalářskou práci na téma „Xiangsheng v ČLR: od nástroje budování nové Číny k satirickému komentáři současné společnosti“ vypracoval pod vedením vedoucího bakalářské práce samostatně za řádné citace v práci uvedených pramenů a literatury. Dále prohlašuji, že tato bakalářská práce nebyla využita k získání jiného nebo stejného titulu. V Ústí nad Labem, dne 1. 5. 2021 ………………………………. Podpis ABSTRAKT Xiangsheng je humorný vypravěčský žánr založený na satiře a komentáři společnosti, který je dnes považován za nejvýznamnějšího zástupce tradičních populárních umění quyi 曲艺. Bakalářská práce se zaměřuje na takzvaný dialogický xiangsheng (duikou xiangsheng 对口相 声), který je představením dvou vypravěčů. Hlavními body zájmu jsou 50. léta 20. století, kdy byl xiangsheng využit pro potřeby propagandy nového státního zřízení, a období od roku 2005, kdy do veřejného povědomí vstupuje nejvýznamnější vypravěč současnosti Guo Degang 郭德纲 (1973–), který skrze návrat k tradici navrátil xiangsheng zpět na vrchol popularity. Cílem práce je komparativní studie xiangshengů z těchto dvou sociokulturně velmi odlišných období, a to zejména skrze formální a obsahovou analýzu xiangshengu „Noční jízda“ (Yexing ji 夜行记), který existuje ve verzi z 50.

    COMMERCIALIZATION OF TRADITIONAL PERFORMING ARTS IN MAINLAND CHINA: A CASE STUDY OF DEYUNSHE Puman Hou* Benny Lim* * The Chinese University of Hong Kong http://doi.org/10.31039/jomeino.2021.5.1.5 Abstract China celebrated the 70th anniversary of its founding in 2019, and this has triggered heightened imagination towards traditional Chinese arts and culture. In the same year, its Ministry of Culture and Tourism rolled out a comprehensive plan to conserve Received 15 October 2020 traditional artforms by promoting active revitalization. This Revised 22 November 2020 exploratory research investigates the possible strategies, as well Accepted 26 December 2020 as areas of contention, in commercializing traditional performing arts, specifically, Chinese crosstalk. An in-depth case study of well-known Chinese crosstalk company, Deyunshe, is carried out. Case study involves in-depth investigations and the eventual understanding of real-world situations and phenomena. Deyunshe is one of the very few established Chinese crosstalk companies in China dedicated to revitalizing the art form. Research outcomes show that Deyunshe has been successful in revitalizing and commercializing Chinese crosstalk with its effective product, place, price, people, and physical evidence strategies. This in turn creates a viable model for traditional performing arts in China, crosstalk or otherwise, to be revitalized and made marketable. Nevertheless, the over- revitalization/commercialization of traditional performing arts may also result in the subordination of the artistic values of the artforms.

  • Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency Is Hard
    Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency is Hard As many of probably noticed, we have been posting late and sporadically for the last month. This was, obviously, not our intention, but with the second semester eating into my free time, staying up to date is a tall order. Even without the newsletter itself seeing weekly publication the site has still remained up to date on a weekly basis, thanks primarily to co-author Ben Carass, as well as guest writers Paul Cooke and Leslie Lee III. But, the newsletter has survived for well over 241 weeks, and will hopefully thrive in the years to come. I have attempted to make provisions for publishing related tasks which should minimize the risk of major delays (obviously there will be some regular delays, as this late issue can attest), but we have some fail safes in place in order to keep this to a minimum. With all of this said, we have a great issue for everyone this week with Paul Cooke discussing the Pro-Wrestling Only Greatest Wrestler Ever project and his personal experience with the poll, Ben covers the news including tons of results from Japan and the Lesnar USADA violation, the Mixed Bag returns with a look at comedy wrestling, Ricochet/Ospreay, and a potential WWE match of the year -- plus Ben also looks at last Sunday's Battleground show and the first RAW of the brand split (a very good show). Also, for those unaware, we now have an official Twitter account @CubedCircleWres allowing the banger to unprecedented highs at @BenCarass and @RyanClingman.

Adopted December 10, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was the first international statement to use the term "human rights" and to recognize the right to be free from torture, arbitrary arrest, as well as the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. 2 Although the International community has concluded that suspects 3 should be commonly afforded particular rights, there are many disparities from country to country as to what rights are actually guaranteed.4 Overall, industrialized nations afford more rights than do developing countries, with one exception.5 Japan, unlike most * Bachelor of Criminal Justice and B.A.
