  • Silk-Road-Eastbound-Moscow-To
    Upon arrival at Moscow Airport you will be met and transferred to the five-star Ritz-Carlton hotel. Located in Moscow city center, and within walking distance of Red Square and the Bolshoi Theatre, guests will discover a classic and sophisticated ambience within this luxury hotel. You will enjoy a welcome dinner at your hotel, whilst you meet your fellow travelers and, together, look forward to the 22 day voyage that lies ahead. Your touring program of Moscow principally takes you to the grandeur of the Kremlin – the spiritual, historical and political heart of Moscow – and to see the treasures of the Tsars in the Armoury Chamber. You also visit Red Square, an iconic symbol of Russia’s former military and political might with its eclectic mix of fascinating architecture, such as the ornate St Basil’s Cathedral’s magnificent onion-domed spires, the beautiful facade of the world famous GUM department store, constructed in Tsarist times, and the sombre and evocative site of Lenin’s tomb. With your Freedom of Choice touring options you may instead wish to travel out of the city centre to Sergiev Posad, home to one of the most beautiful monasteries in Russia and the historical and spiritual centre of the Russian Orthodox Church or visit the famous State Tretyakov Gallery (National Museum of Fine Art). This morning, you board the Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express. Upon arrival at Moscow Kazansky Station, you will be greeted in the magnificent Imperial Waiting Room with a cold glass of Russian Champagne and canapes as you mix with the other guests and are welcomed by the train staff.

  • Transnational Legitimization of an Actor: the Life and Career of Soon-Tek Oh1
    Transnational Legitimization of an Actor: The Life and Career of Soon-Tek Oh1 ESTHER KIM LEE He is the voice of the father in the Disney animation film Mulan (1998). He is Sensei in the Hollywood hit film Beverly Hills Ninja (1997). He is Lieutenant Hip in the 007 film The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). These examples may trigger memories of Soon-Tek Oh in the minds of many Americans.2 Some would vaguely remember him as the “oriental” actor whose face often gets confused with those of other Asian and Asian American actors, such as Mako and James Hong. Theatre aficionados may remember him for his award-winning role in Stephen Sondheim’s musical Pacific Overtures in the 1970s, but more Americans will know him as the quintessential “oriental” man in Hollywood. This is not the legacy Soon-Tek Oh wanted. He would prefer to be remembered as an artist, an actor who played Hamlet, Romeo, and Osvald Alving; who founded theatre companies; who promoted cultural awareness for Korean Americans; and who taught youths with all of his integ- rity. He wanted to be a “great actor,” who transcended all markings, especially racial ones, and who was recognized for his talent as an artist. He has sought what I describe in this essay as “legitimization” as a respected actor at every crucial point in his life.3 Soon-Tek Oh was the first Korean actor to appear in American mainstream theatre, film, or television.4 He left Korea for Hollywood in 1959 as a young man, seeking to learn the craft of filmmaking.

The Red Corner I. INTRODUCTION The last four decades have seen the emergence of the “law and literature” movement. 1 Although numerous stories in the common law world turn on the trial of cases, 2 many studies in the law and literature vein use stories that do not take place in a courtroom, and often do not even involve a lawyer, to illuminate significant features of the law or its 1 See, e.g., KIERAN DOLIN , A CRITICAL INTRODUCTION TO LAW AND LITERATURE (2007). The movement emerged as a major force through the work of James Boyd White, most significantly with JAMES BOYD WHITE , THE LEGAL IMAGINATION : STUDIES IN THE NATURE OF LEGAL THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION (1973). This line of thought about law has evolved in many directions and now has too many permutations to allow summary in a footnote. It has had a major impact on jurisprudence generally through Ronald Dworkin’s building his theories of law around law as a multi-generational narrative.
