  • Music and the Construction of Historical Narrative in 20Th and 21St Century African-American Literature
    1 Orientations in Time: Music and the Construction of Historical Narrative in 20th and 21st Century African-American Literature Leisl Sackschewsky A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Sonnet Retman, Chair Habiba Ibrahim Alys Weinbaum Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English 2 © Copyright 2016 Leisl Sackschewsky 3 University of Washington Abstract Orientations in Time: Music and the Construction of Historical Narrative in 20th and 21st Century African-American Literature Chair of Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Sonnet Retman American Ethnic Studies This dissertation argues that the intersections between African-American literature and music have been influential in both the development of hip-hop aesthetics and, specifically, their communication of historical narrative. Challenging hip-hop historiographers that narrate the movement as the materialization of a “phantom aesthetic”, or a sociological, cultural, technological, and musical innovation of the last forty years, this dissertation asserts that hip-hop artists deploy distinctly literary techniques in their attempts to animate, write, rewrite, rupture, or reclaim the past for the present. Through an analysis of 20th and 21st century African-American literary engagements with black music, musical figures, scenes of musical performance, and what I call ‘musical-oral’, I hope to demonstrate how prose representations of music disrupt the linear narratives of

  • An Ideal Chinese Society? Future China from the Perspective of Contemporary Female Science Fiction Writers
    Frederike Schneider-Vielsäcker, M.A. Research Associate Freie Universität Berlin (FU Berlin) • Seminar of East Asian Studies E-Mail: [email protected] An Ideal Chinese Society? Future China From the Perspective of Contemporary Female Science Fiction Writers Thought Paper Keywords: Harmonious society, China Dream, Utopia, Chinese science fiction literature, Chi Hui, Hao Jingfang, female writers Introduction Female Science Fiction writers are about to occupy a significant spot on the genre's author scene in China. At least since August 2016, when Hao Jingfang (郝景芳, *1984) became the first Chinese woman to win the Hugo Award, it is clear that they are as successful as their male counterparts. Since the introduction of science fiction literature to China in the late Qing dynasty, the scene was male-dominated. Nevertheless, in connection with the current heyday it has lately evolved more diversified. What remains unchanged, however, is the genre's use as a projection for intellectuals to voice their expectations, dreams and also fears of the Chinese future. In the wake of a recent increase in domestic and international readership as well as fulminant media attention, science fictional writings extensively circulate differentiated reflections and alternative visions of the state's self-image of a flourishing China. They can therefore be regarded as a mirror of sociopolitical issues and are of value to research. This paper explores the short stories of Hao Jingfang and Chi Hui (迟卉, *1984), who both are well-known representatives of young female science fiction authors in China. Focusing on China in an era of rapid economic and social transition, their narratives portray future Chinese societies that critically comment on official political maxims such as Hu Jintao's “Harmonious Society” (和谐社会) and Xi Jinping's “China Dream” (中国梦).
