  • HOW CHINESE NEW MEDIA CONSTRUCT ELITE FEMALE ATHLETES: GENDER, NATIONALISM, and INDIVIDUALISM by QINGRU XU (Under the Direction
    HOW CHINESE NEW MEDIA CONSTRUCT ELITE FEMALE ATHLETES: GENDER, NATIONALISM, AND INDIVIDUALISM by QINGRU XU (Under the Direction of Dr. Peggy J. Kreshel) Around the world, sport is principally organized around masculinity. Women are often afforded limited access to sports participation, situated as “others” in a male-dominated domain. This gender inequality is mirrored in sports media; selective representations have a tremendous influence on people’s perception and understanding of sport, athletes, and society. In this study, I examined media representations of two Chinese female athletes of different status—specialized athlete, Ding Ning, and professional athlete, Li Na— in China, a nation in the midst of political/economic/cultural transformation and a sports reform initiative. Analyzing stories drawn from two Chinese web portals, I focused particularly on how gender, nationalism, and collectivism/individualism entered into media representations to determine if there were differences in the portrayals of these two female athletes. The portraits that emerged were very distinctive. A textual analysis revealed significant differences in each of the three conceptual areas. A fourth theme, which I have identified as “monetary value” also emerged. Possible explanations for and implications of differences in the media portrayals of the two athletes at this particular historical moment in Chinese society were provided.

    4 olympics TUESDAY, JULY 24, 2012 CHINA DAILY TEAM CHINA BOUND FOR LONDON TABLE TENNIS China should run the table (and paddles) Last year’s Worlds and World Cup champion duo Zhang Jike and Ding Ning will lead the men’s and women’s table tennis teams as they set out to defend all four titles on off er. Despite missing several key mem- bers, including former women’s leader Zhang Yining, who retired in 2008, China still seems invincible in the face of challenges from South Korea, Ger- many and Singapore. “Th e Olympics holds diff erent mean- ings for diff erent teams. But for us, it only means winning as many gold med- als as we can,” said Liu Guoliang, head coach of the men’s squad. Still, offi cials remain alert. “We are confi dent in our players. But to win all four gold medals is much more diffi cult than expected,” said team leader Huang Biao. China has won 20 out of 24 gold medals available since the game was introduced into the Olympic program in 1988. Four years ago in Beijing, it took away all six medals in the men’s and women’s singles, plus gold in both team events. RESULTS AT PREVIOUS OLYMPICS 2004 Athens Games: 3 gold medals (men’s doubles, women’s singles and doubles) 2008 Beijing Games: all 4 gold medals (men’s and women’s singles and teams) China Daily’s gold-medal projection for London: 4 gold medals BADMINTON RESULTS AT PREVIOUS OLYMPICS Yang, Wang Xiaoli, Zhao Yunlei Dan’s career.

  • A Tangut Family's Community Compact and Rituals
    a tangut family, ca. 1350 to present tomoyasu iiyama A Tangut Family’s Community Compact and Rituals: Aspects of the Society of North China, ca. 1350 to the Present n 1983, members of the Yang 楊 surname in Yang Shenbalang vil- I lage 楊什八郎村, Puyang 濮陽 county, Henan, presented a seemingly very old manuscript entitled 述善集 along with a somewhat newer one — their genealogy (Yangshi zongpu 楊氏宗譜) — to the local county gov- ernment. One item in Shushanji says that the Yangs’ apical ancestor had gone to north China from the former territory of the Tangut Xixia 西 夏 kingdom with the Mongols in the mid-thirteenth century (a typical mode of Tangut immigration at that time). INTRODUCTION CONCERNING THE MATERIALS First, it is best to become acquainted at least superficially with the contents of these works. We start with Shushanji. According to the table of contents recorded in the extant manuscript (which is discussed, be- low), the Yuan version of Shushanji comprised three volumes (or juan): “Benevolent Customs (shansu 善俗),” “Nurturing Talents (yucai 育才),” and “Achievements (xingshi 行實),” in that order. The first volume in- cluded the regulation of the community compact, a preface, and po- ems. The second contained essays, poems, two invitation letters, and official documents authorizing an academy. The last one recorded the epigraphical inscription and essays on family history. The edited, typeset version of Shushanji (referred to as the “2001 printed edition, or version” and discussed in detail, below) is thought to reflect closely the contents of the Yuan version. Figure 1 shows the Table of Contents (mulu 目录) of all three juan, which combined oc- cupy pp.
