    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

    RED BOAT TROUPES and CANTONESE OPERA By

    RED BOAT TROUPES AND CANTONESE OPERA by LORETTA SIULING YEUNG (Under the Direction of Jean N. Kidula) ABSTRACT: The Cantonese opera, one of China’s major operas, was inscribed as a valuable world heritage to be preserved by the United Nations in 2009. Because Cantonese people have migrated to many continents, performances, practitioners, and audiences, listeners have expanded to beyond Guangzhou in China, and Hong Kong to diasporas. The Red Boat Troupes were influential in shaping contemporary Cantonese opera. They were performing troupes that used boats for transportation between towns and villages in the Pearl River Estuary from the late Qing dynasty until 1938. These boats were specially designed for opera troupes. The boats also served as sleeping quarters for performers, musicians, apprentices, stagehands, and sailors. Many Red Boats were destroyed during the Japanese invasion of China in 1938. Unfortunately, in just 70 years, no more Red boats seem to exist. This study situates the historical background of Cantonese Opera and Red Boat Troupes. Culture, function, life style, the art, performance practice, aesthetics, and music of Cantonese opera in the Red Boat society are examined. The thesis also looks into the social and economic understandings that brought about the demand for the Red Boat Troupe industry. Changes due to modernity, industrialization, metropolitan living, trade, colonialism, Westernization, and improved transportation affected the development of Cantonese opera. Feminist movement, cross-gender performance, economics, and class issues historically associated with the opera are examined and compared to recent activities in Hong Kong, and in one Cantonese diaspora, Vancouver of Canada. The findings from the research shed light on the genre with a hope of preserving the heritage and increasing the practice and consumption of Cantonese opera.

    Dr. Li Shu-Fan - Governor of the 96th District 1947-1948 Conducted the First Ever Rotary District Conference in Hong Kong By Herbert K. Lau (劉敬恒) (Rotary China Historian) 1 February 2016 “One of the main philosophic convictions of my life has been the desire to leave the world a little richer than when I found it.” ~~ Li Shu-Fan 李樹芬 Despite difficulties after the Pacific War (a chapter of the World War II) ended in 1945, Rotary continued to progress in the Far East. The Rotary clubs in China were again in their stride of progress, so badly interfered with by the last War. More than half of the suspended clubs have been re-established, with ten more to be revived. There were 18 Rotary clubs survived functioning in China as on 1 March 1947. Notable Rotary progress was indicated for the various districts in China, if District Conferences could be used as measuring sticks. Dr. Li Shu-Fan (李樹芬醫生) (Medical Services), of Hong Kong Rotary Club (香港扶輪社), Governor of the 96th District 1947- 1948, reported the largest attendance in the then District history, with the Wuchow Rotary Club (梧州扶輪社) sending half of its members, and the newly re-established Club of Swatow (汕頭扶輪社) being represented by nearly one-third of its membership. Every club in the District agreed to undertake the organization of a new Club during the next year. Dr. Li was the first Hong Kong Rotarian who served the 96th District (South China) as Governor, and who logically and cordially assigned his home club as the host to hold the first ever District Conference in Hong Kong.
  • Multiplicity, Anomalies, and Context in Chinese Restaurants

    Multiplicity, Anomalies, and Context in Chinese Restaurants

    Negotiating Authenticity: Multiplicity, Anomalies, and Context in Chinese Restaurants. DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nancy Yan Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Amy Shuman, Co-Director Judy Wu, Co-Director Patrick Mullen Ray Cashman Copyright by Nancy Yan 2013 Abstract This dissertation investigates a key folkloric concept – authenticity – through an exploration of the Chinese restaurant. Scholars tend to be wary of using the term authenticity in conjunction with cultural expressions because of its association with dangerous nationalist movements, problematic boundaries, and potential for essentialism. Authenticity is often understood in the vein of continuity to the past; such an understanding implies singularity, stability and bounded concreteness rather than dynamism and fluidity in cultural expressions. As a result, in scholarship, claims of authenticity are often avoided or deconstructed as invalid or false. However, I argue that claims to authenticity can be valid and legitimate and that authenticity should be considered as multiple and flexible. I examine one Chinese restaurant, one Chinese dish, and a small collection of vintage Chinese restaurant menus to investigate discourses on authenticity. Ding Ho, one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in Columbus, Ohio, embodies several features typical of Chinese restaurants but also contain anomalous elements in their operations which, according to some on-line restaurant reviews, mark the restaurant as inauthentic. However, I suggest that anomalies are not evidence of pollution of a Chinese restaurant’s authenticity but instead indicate variations within the category.
