Duke’s employees are among the university’s greatest strengths. When you work here, you don’t just do the job and go home. You’re part of the campus community. You share in the university’s successes and help define its identity. Former president Terry Sanford perhaps put it best: every person who works for Duke is important to Duke; they are all Duke University People. As a new Duke University Person, you should take some time to familiarize yourself with this handbook, which is intended to help you establish a successful working relationship with the Duke community. It outlines the many resources and opportunities that are available to you as an employee, and it should help you understand what Duke expects from you as a staff member and what you should expect from Duke. You can find answers to additional questions by reviewing the Duke Human Resources Policy Manual (hr.duke.edu/policies) or by speaking with your supervisor. I also invite you to share in the responsibility of shaping the university’s identity and guiding it toward a more inclusive future. Duke is about much more than what happens in the classroom or the lab; it is up to us to set an example of how a community of people working together toward a common purpose can realize outrageous ambitions. -

Title Does the Karate Kid Have a Kung Fu Dream? Hong Kong Martial Arts
Does the Karate Kid Have a Kung Fu Dream? Hong Kong Martial Title Arts between Hollywood and Beijing Author(s) Marchetti, G JOMEC Journal: Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, 2014, Citation n. 5 Issued Date 2014 URL http://hdl.handle.net/10722/204953 Rights Creative Commons: Attribution 3.0 Hong Kong License JOMEC Journal Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies Does the Karate Kid Have a Kung Fu Dream? Hong Kong Martial Arts between Hollywood and Beijing Gina Marchetti University of Hong Kong Email: [email protected] Keywords The Karate Kid choreography wu shu movie fu real kung fu Abstract This analysis of the martial arts choreography in The Karate Kid (2010) examines the contradictory matrix in which action films produce meanings for global audiences. A remake of a 1984 film, this iteration of The Karate Kid begins its imaginative battle over martial arts turf with English and Chinese titles at odds with one another. For English- speaking audiences, the title of the film promises a remake of the popular 1984 story of a displaced Italian American teenager (Ralph Macchio) trained by a Japanese American sensei (Pat Morita) to compete against the local karate bullies. However, the 2010 version has another identity competing with the first. Its Chinese title translates as Kung Fu Dream – Japanese culture, karate, and domestic American class and racial politics out of the picture. In this version, an African American youngster (Jaden Smith) moves to Beijing from Detroit and is taken under the wing of a drunken kung fu master (Jackie Chan) to battle a group of wu shu/san da villains.
