Nida, this paper mainly focuses on Karen S.

  • Wreckage, War, Woman. Fragments of a Female Self in Zhang Ailing's
    e-ISSN 2385-3042 ISSN 1125-3789 Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale Vol. 56 – Giugno 2020 Wreckage, War, Woman. Fragments of a Female Self in Zhang Ailing’s Love In a Fallen City (倾城之恋) Alessandra Di Muzio Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia Abstract This article examines wreckage and war as key elements in Zhang Ailing’s novella Qing cheng zhi lian 倾城之恋 (Love in a Fallen City) exploring the strategies used by the female protagonist to engage on a nüxing 女性 ‘feminist’-oriented spatial quest for independence in a male-centered world. Analysed from a feminist perspective, these strategies emerge as potentially empowering and based on the idea of conflict/con- quest while dealing with man and romance, but they are also constantly threatened by the instability of history and by the lack of any true agency and gender-specific space for women in the 1940s Chinese society and culture. By analysing the floating/stability dichotomy and the spatial configurations of Shanghai and Hong Kong as described in the novella, the author argues Zhang Ailing’s depiction of Chinese women while dealing with history, society and the quest for self-affirmation is left in-between wreckage and survival, oppression and feminism, revealing her eccentric otherness as a woman and as a writer with respect to socially committed literature. Keywords Zhang Ailing. Love in a Fallen City. Wreckage. War. Feminist spatial quest. Summary 1 Introduction. An Ambivalent Form of Desolation. – 2 From Wreckage to Wreckage. – 3 Conflict and Conquest. Bai Liusu and Her ‘War’ for Life. – 4 Empty Fragments Floating.

  • Zz027 Bd 45 Stanley Kwan 001-124 AK2.Indd
    Statt eines Vorworts – eine Einordnung. Stanley Kwan und das Hongkong-Kino Wenn wir vom Hongkong-Kino sprechen, dann haben wir bestimmte Bilder im Kopf: auf der einen Seite Jacky Chan, Bruce Lee und John Woo, einsame Detektive im Kampf gegen das Böse, viel Filmblut und die Skyline der rasantesten Stadt des Universums im Hintergrund. Dem ge- genüber stehen die ruhigen Zeitlupenfahrten eines Wong Kar-wai, der, um es mit Gilles Deleuze zu sagen, seine Filme nicht mehr als Bewe- gungs-Bild, sondern als Zeit-Bild inszeniert: Ebenso träge wie präzise erfährt und erschwenkt und ertastet die Kamera Hotelzimmer, Leucht- reklamen, Jukeboxen und Kioske. Er dehnt Raum und Zeit, Aktion in- teressiert ihn nicht sonderlich, eher das Atmosphärische. Wong Kar-wai gehört zu einer Gruppe von Regisseuren, die zur New Wave oder auch Second Wave des Hongkong-Kinos zu zählen sind. Ihr gehören auch Stanley Kwan, Fruit Chan, Ann Hui, Patrick Tam und Tsui Hark an, deren Filme auf internationalen Festivals laufen und liefen. Im Westen sind ihre Filme in der Literatur kaum rezipiert worden – und das will der vorliegende Band ändern. Neben Wong Kar-wai ist Stanley Kwan einer der wichtigsten Vertreter der New Wave, jener Nouvelle Vague des Hongkong-Kinos, die ihren künstlerischen und politischen Anspruch aus den Wirren der 1980er und 1990er Jahre zieht, als klar wurde, dass die Kronkolonie im Jahr 1997 von Großbritannien an die Volksrepublik China zurückgehen würde. Beschäftigen wir uns deshalb kurz mit der historischen Dimension. China hatte den Status der Kolonie nie akzeptiert, sprach von Hong- kong immer als unter »britischer Verwaltung« stehend.

  • Romantic Relationships and Urban Modernity in the Writings of Han Bangqing and Zhang Ailing
    ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS AND URBAN MODERNITY IN THE WRITINGS OF HAN BANGQING AND ZHANG AILING By Andrew M. Kauffman Submitted to the graduate degree program in East Asian Languages and Cultures and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Hui (Faye) Xiao ________________________________ Keith McMahon ________________________________ Elaine Gerbert Date Defended: 05/10/2013 The Thesis Committee for Andrew M. Kauffman certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS AND URBAN MODERNITY IN THE WRITINGS OF HAN BANGQING AND ZHANG AILING ________________________________ Chairperson Hui (Faye) Xiao Date approved: 05/21/2013 ii ABSTRACT Despite the vast amount of research done by Chinese and Western scholars on the writings of Han Bangqing (1854-1894) and, particularly, Zhang Ailing (1920-1995), there has been relatively little scholarship focusing on the connections between these two authors and their views on romance and urban modernity. This thesis seeks to address this problem by first exploring the connections between these two prominent Shanghai authors on three levels - personal, historical/cultural, and literary - and then examining how they portray romance and urban modernity in some of their pieces. In addition to Zhang Ailing’s extensive translation work on Han Bangqing’s Sing-song Girls of Shanghai, translating it first into Mandarin Chinese from the Wu dialect and then into English, a central connection between these two authors is the preeminent position of Shanghai in their writings. This thesis examines the culture and history of Shanghai and how it affected both writers.

    LOVE IN A FALLEN CITY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Eileen Chang, Karen S. Kingsbury | 321 pages | 28 Dec 2006 | The New York Review of Books, Inc | 9781590171783 | English | New York, United States Love in a Fallen City by Eileen Chang: | : Books This is what Eileen tried to express: most marriages result from a variety of factors, love is only one of them. I can sense such kind of genteel manners as well as sadness but I do not know where they are from. In addition, I want to tell the truth that Eileen has now become one of the most popular writers in mainland China, even though the education department refuses to add her work in textbooks. I wish someone could tell her that her art work has illuminated this glooming world, even today. And lastly but not the least, may she find serenity and tranquility in another world. I strongly recommend you to read by Eileen. Eileen was fluent in both English and Chinese, and she wrote originally in English. This story is largely based on the real story of her own life, depicting and reflecting on the relationship between her mother and her. Hello Lucy, how lovely to meet you like this! I assume it is a Chinese concept? Can you please explain what it means, and why these critics thought it was important to include it in a work of fiction? By: Lisa Hill on August 26, at pm.

First, there is more than enough theory and insufficient evidence. Second, it emphasizes translation but neglects the way to communicate through foreign students. In view of this situation, we take masterpieces of modern Chinese literature as the research object, and adopt empirical investigation methods, such as statistical analysis of the textbooks of Chinese as a foreign language, the questionnaire survey of foreign Chinese learners in the middle and advanced Chinese level, and the interviews of domestic and foreign Chinese teachers. According to the survey results, we have put forward the following suggestions: Chinese literature textbooks and comprehensive textbooks are arranged in a step-by-step manner, with the combination of points and faces; improving the literacy and Chinese literature awareness of Chinese teachers;

  • A Study of Xu Xu's Ghost Love and Its Three Film Adaptations THESIS
    Allegories and Appropriations of the ―Ghost‖: A Study of Xu Xu‘s Ghost Love and Its Three Film Adaptations THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Qin Chen Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2010 Master's Examination Committee: Kirk Denton, Advisor Patricia Sieber Copyright by Qin Chen 2010 Abstract This thesis is a comparative study of Xu Xu‘s (1908-1980) novella Ghost Love (1937) and three film adaptations made in 1941, 1956 and 1995. As one of the most popular writers during the Republican period, Xu Xu is famous for fiction characterized by a cosmopolitan atmosphere, exoticism, and recounting fantastic encounters. Ghost Love, his first well-known work, presents the traditional narrative of ―a man encountering a female ghost,‖ but also embodies serious psychological, philosophical, and even political meanings. The approach applied to this thesis is semiotic and focuses on how each text reflects the particular reality and ethos of its time. In other words, in analyzing how Xu‘s original text and the three film adaptations present the same ―ghost story,‖ as well as different allegories hidden behind their appropriations of the image of the ―ghost,‖ the thesis seeks to broaden our understanding of the history, society, and culture of some eventful periods in twentieth-century China—prewar Shanghai (Chapter 1), wartime Shanghai (Chapter 2), post-war Hong Kong (Chapter 3) and post-Mao mainland (Chapter 4). ii Dedication To my parents and my husband, Zhang Boying iii Acknowledgments This thesis owes a good deal to the DEALL teachers and mentors who have taught and helped me during the past two years at The Ohio State University, particularly my advisor, Dr.
