  • New Fall 2013
    FALL 2013 NEWSLETTER A message from San Duanmu, CCS Interim Director, 2012-13 Dear CCS Community, ast year, two major changes took place at the College and the International Institute, which have affected CCS in various ways. First, initiated by the Provost’s Office, Dennison is being transformed, from a heavily used but unattractive teaching building to an exemplar, modern, and multicultural learning center, to which all units of II are scheduled to move, including CCS. LThe final plan is still in the works. For example, we do not know how much space or what kind of space CCS will have. On the other hand, there are exciting new opportunities. For example, the combination of offices, classrooms, research events, and social space in the same building will be a great improvement from the current situation. In addition, space for visitors and study/meeting areas will likely promote interac- tions among faculty, students, and visitors. The other major change is prompted by budget cuts at various levels, in particular the continued decrease in Title IV funds from the Department of Education, which many II centers reply on. In response, the College decided to implement a new staff structure for II that is sustainable even without Title IV funds. In the new structure, each center is left with one full-time staff person (in the case of CCS, it is Ena Schlorff), and everyone else is moved to ‘shared services’. Under special circumstances, a center may request to hire additional staff, with the center’s own money. During the transition, CCS had to make some adjustments.

It follows a chronological order, beginning with women in Republican China and ending with contemporary female immigrants in the age of globalization. The changing images of women on screen go hand in hand with major cinematic movements in history, including the leftist turn in the 1930s, the rise of “Solitary Island” cinema in wartime Shanghai, socialist realism during the Seventeen Years (1949-1966), model opera film during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), post-1989 underground/independent filmmaking, and the globalization of cinema in contemporary China. Approaches of film analyses and gender/sexuality theories will be introduced throughout the course. All reading materials, lectures, classroom discussions, and exams are in English. Course Objectives: By the end of this semester students should be able to: • track the changing images of women in history • track the changing images of

    NEW CHINA’S FORGOTTEN CINEMA, 1949–1966 More Than Just Politics by Greg Lewis Several years ago when planning a course on modern Chinese history as seen through its cinema, I realized or saw a significant void. I hoped to represent each era of Chinese cinema from the Leftist movement of the 1930s to the present “Sixth Generation,” but found most available subtitled films are from the post-1978 reform period. Films from the Mao Zedong period (1949–76) are particularly scarce in the West due to Cold War politics, including a trade embargo and economic blockade lasting more than two decades, and within the arts, a resistance in the West to Soviet- influenced Socialist Realism. wo years ago I began a project, Translating New China’s Cine- Phase One.

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.

  • Villain Stardom in Socialist China: Chen Qiang and the Cultural Politics of Affect
    This is the Accepted Version of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Journal of Chinese Cinemas 9 (3), 223-238. Please refer to the published version available at: 10.1080/17508061.2015.1040287 Accepted Version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/19760/ Villain Stardom in Socialist China: Chen Qiang and the Cultural Politics of Affect Xiaoning Lu Abstract: Despite playing various kinds of roles across genres from 1949 and 1965, Chen Qiang acquired stardom mainly due to his remarkable screen performance as villainous landlords in socialist China. His villain stardom is an aberrant case, compared to the majority of film stars in Chinese socialist cinema who encouraged identification and emulation and helped propagate socialist ideology to reform Chinese citizens. Paying special attention to socio- historically specific film exhibition practices and the actor’s own reflections on his villain performance, this article argues that Chen’s stardom functioned as an important affective technology within a wider and complex Communist propaganda enterprise in that it helped cultivate class hatred necessary for the communist revolution and socialist land reform campaigns. Through this case study the article suggests that close engagement with both cultural-historical specificities of cinema and recent critical theories of affect opens up a space for researching the diversified star phenomena in contemporary China. Keywords: Chen Qiang, villain stardom, affect, performance, film exhibition, Chinese socialist cinema Contributor details: Xiaoning Lu is Lecturer in modern Chinese language and culture at SOAS, University of London in the United Kingdom. She has published on aspects of Chinese socialist cinema and culture in journals and edited collections, including Journal of Chinese Cinemas, Journal of Contemporary China, and Words and Their Stories: Essays on Chinese Revolutionary Discourse.
