Mapping Global Racisms Series Editor Ian Law School of Sociology and Social Policy University of Leeds Leeds, UK Tere is no systematic coverage of the racialisation of the planet. Tis series is the frst attempt to present a comprehensive mapping of global racisms, providing a way in which to understand global racialisation and acknowledge the multiple generations of diferent racial logics across regimes and regions. Unique in its intellectual agenda and innovative in producing a new empirically-based theoretical framework for under- standing this glocalised phenomenon, Mapping Global Racisms consid- ers racism in many underexplored regions such as Russia, Arab racisms in North African and Middle Eastern contexts, and racism in Pacifc contries such as Japan, Hawaii, Fiji and Samoa.

Ian, as an expert on global racism and the editor of Mapping Global Racism series, and I started communication on the subject several years ago. With his interest in the global implications of the discourse of race in China and his suggestions in mind, I wrote the book as a contribution to the book series. I also would like to thank Sharla Plant and Poppy Hull at Palgrave Macmillan for their interest in the book and editorial work on it. I have been encouraged and inspired by scholars in diferent felds and their help has guided me to the same end: an understanding of dis- courses of race in China in a global context of racialization and in a domestic context of ethnic relations. I am indebted to Patrick Manning (University of Pittsburgh), my dissertation advisor and long-time schol- arly supporter, who read and commented on many parts of the book’s manuscript. I also owe gratitude to Edward Friedman (University of Wisconsin) for his comments and suggestions on many parts of the manuscript as they were in the form of research articles. Te com- munication with James Leibold (La Trobe University), an expert on Chinese nationalism and ethnicity, was one of the most valuable v vi Acknowledgements scholarly inspirations I have received for this project. I particularly want to thank Prasenjit Duara (Duke University) for his strong support and critical suggestions especially during the time of my fellowship at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore in 2011 (Prasenjit was then the director of the Institute), when I began work on several topics which were eventually all incorporated into this book. I would like to thank Frank Dikötter (University of Hong Kong), with whom I communicated through emails, for his groundbreaking work in the feld and his insight and critical thoughts about racial thinking in Chinese society. Rotem Kowner (University of Haifa) and Walter Demel (University of Federal Armed Forces, Munich) invited me to participate in a conference and included my paper on Chinese racial thinking expressed in pop music in their coedited Race and Racism in Modern East Asia. Te content of the paper is now absorbed into the book. Kevin Carrico (Macquarie University) shared with me his work on the Han Clothing movement when it was still a Ph.D. dissertation and has provided me with many important sources on race and nation- alism in China. Agnieszka Joniak-Luthi (University of Bern) also shared with me her work on the Han as China’s diverse majority. I also want to thank the editors and reviewers of Te China Quarterly and Te Journal of Asian Studies for their feedback on my articles. Te content of those articles is now also integrated into the book. In particular, I thank Akwasi Osei (Delaware State University) and Marshall Stevenson (University of Maryland East Shore) who have broadened my vision especially with their knowledge of and insights on Africa, African-Americans, and Sino-African relations. As a person of Chinese heritage engaged in critical studies of Chinese society and culture, I would like to express my gratitude to my Chinese friends in academia who understand and have supported my work in various ways. Wu Guoguang (University of Victoria) invited me to par- ticipate in a conference and eventually included my paper in a book he edited (China’s Transition from Communism—New Perspectives). His comments on my paper in the book’s conclusion highlighted the polit- ical signifcance of the discourse of race in China’s post-Mao transition. Yang Bin (University of Macao) has been my long-time academic col- league with whom I had numerous discussions on Chinese nationalism Acknowledgements vii and ethnicity. He especially alerted me to the fact that the concept of race was misused in intra-Chinese relations until the concept of ethnic- ity came into being. Yao Xingyong (Jinan University) shared with me his knowledge, life experience, and insights regarding ethnic nationalism in China. Du Chunmei (Lingnan University) has helped me for years with her expertise in modern Chinese intellectual history and Sino- foreign perceptions. Zhang Jianhua (Beijing Normal University) shared with me his expertise on Russian history and racial thinking. Wang Yuanchong (University of Delaware) helped me to understand impe- rial China’s ethnic and frontier visions. Zhou Lian (Renmin University) has discussed with me race-related social and intellectual problems in contemporary China. Liu Xiaopeng (National Chengchi University, Taiwan) shared with me his book and articles on Sino-African rela- tions from a race-studies perspective. Jiang Huajie (Eastern China Normal University) shared with me his research on African students in China and informed me of other related historical issues. Qiu Jing (Guangdong Polytechnic University) enriched my knowledge about China’s ethnic minorities. Fang Kecheng (Ph.D. candidate at University of Pennsylvania) informed me of the role of social media in my research subject. I, in particular, appreciate discussions with Tsai Mon-Han (Chiba University) and Wang Ke (Kobe University), two historians in Japan, which fne-tuned my analysis on modern Chinese nationalism. Outside professional academics, I owe many individuals (many of them are writers or work for Chinese media) who discussed with me race-related issues in contemporary China, helped in locating impor- tant sources, or alerted me new developments. I want thank Chen Xubin, Duan Yuhong, Gu Yinsheng, Li Xiaen, Luo Silin, Qian Lang, Tao Xiaolu, Zhu Tianyuan, and many others for their support that I can always count on. I want to thank Delaware State University, my home institution, for its research grants. I also owe gratitude to the National University of Singapore’s Asia Research Institute and the East Asia Institute, for their fellowships in the early stage of my work on the subject. I especially want to thank Ying, Mimi, and Evan for their patience, tolerance and support during the time I committed to this project.

  • Performing Shakespeare in Contemporary Taiwan

    Performing Shakespeare in Contemporary Taiwan

    Performing Shakespeare in Contemporary Taiwan by Ya-hui Huang A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire Jan 2012 Abstract Since the 1980s, Taiwan has been subjected to heavy foreign and global influences, leading to a marked erosion of its traditional cultural forms. Indigenous traditions have had to struggle to hold their own and to strike out into new territory, adopt or adapt to Western models. For most theatres in Taiwan, Shakespeare has inevitably served as a model to be imitated and a touchstone of quality. Such Taiwanese Shakespeare performances prove to be much more than merely a combination of Shakespeare and Taiwan, constituting a new fusion which shows Taiwan as hospitable to foreign influences and unafraid to modify them for its own purposes. Nonetheless, Shakespeare performances in contemporary Taiwan are not only a demonstration of hybridity of Westernisation but also Sinification influences. Since the 1945 Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party, or KMT) takeover of Taiwan, the KMT’s one-party state has established Chinese identity over a Taiwan identity by imposing cultural assimilation through such practices as the Mandarin-only policy during the Chinese Cultural Renaissance in Taiwan. Both Taiwan and Mainland China are on the margin of a “metropolitan bank of Shakespeare knowledge” (Orkin, 2005, p. 1), but it is this negotiation of identity that makes the Taiwanese interpretation of Shakespeare much different from that of a Mainlanders’ approach, while they share certain commonalities that inextricably link them. This study thus examines the interrelation between Taiwan and Mainland China operatic cultural forms and how negotiation of their different identities constitutes a singular different Taiwanese Shakespeare from Chinese Shakespeare.

  • Westernisation, Ideology and National Identity in 20Th-Century Chinese Music

    Westernisation, Ideology and National Identity in 20Th-Century Chinese Music

    Westernisation, Ideology and National Identity in 20th-Century Chinese Music Yiwen Ouyang PhD Thesis Royal Holloway, University of London DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Yiwen Ouyang, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 19 May 2012 I To my newly born baby II ABSTRACT The twentieth century saw the spread of Western art music across the world as Western ideology and values acquired increasing dominance in the global order. How did this process occur in China, what complexities does it display and what are its distinctive features? This thesis aims to provide a detailed and coherent understanding of the Westernisation of Chinese music in the 20th century, focusing on the ever-changing relationship between music and social ideology and the rise and evolution of national identity as expressed in music. This thesis views these issues through three crucial stages: the early period of the 20th century which witnessed the transition of Chinese society from an empire to a republic and included China’s early modernisation; the era from the 1930s to 1940s comprising the Japanese intrusion and the rising of the Communist power; and the decades of economic and social reform from 1978 onwards. The thesis intertwines the concrete analysis of particular pieces of music with social context and demonstrates previously overlooked relationships between these stages. It also seeks to illustrate in the context of the appropriation of Western art music how certain concepts acquired new meanings in their translation from the European to the Chinese context, for example modernity, Marxism, colonialism, nationalism, tradition, liberalism, and so on.

  • China Pop Love, Patriotism and the State in China’S Music Sphere

    China Pop Love, Patriotism and the State in China’S Music Sphere

    115 CHINA POP LOVE, PATRIOTISM AND THE STATE IN CHINA’S MUSIC SPHERE ANDREAS STEEN Popular culture in China is highly dynamic, involving individuals and private companies, both local and international, as well as state-governed institutions. The mass media and new communication technologies naturally play an impor- tant role in production, selection and dissemination, while also increasing in- teraction with international trends and standards. Sheldon H. Lu underscores popular culture’s importance in today’s China by emphasizing that it is “a dein- ing characteristic of Chinese postmodernity”.1 To him, three factors are crucial, namely it’s potential to undermine the censorship and “hard-line” cultural he- gemony of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), its rise as a “major player in the commodiication process,” and “its sugar-coated apoliticism, [which] paciies the masses and represses the memory of China’s political reality” (ibid.). Popular cul- ture, therefore, is the battleground of various ideologies, forces and interests. Its ambivalent and complex entanglement with politics, society and the musical in- dustry is also addressed in the work of other scholars, such as Kevin Latham, who expresses that “understanding Chinese popular culture very often requires care- ful attention to how precisely the state is involved in and related to forms of social and cultural activity and practices. Popular culture does not exist outside of or in contrast to the state but very often in a constant and evolving dialogue with it.”2 This article looks at both conlicts and dialogue in the realm of popular music and attempts to lay out the main contours of China’s current popular music scene.

  • Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Zhong Yurou

    Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Zhong Yurou

    Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Zhong Yurou Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Yurou Zhong All rights reserved ABSTRACT Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Yurou Zhong This dissertation examines the modern Chinese script crisis in twentieth-century China. It situates the Chinese script crisis within the modern phenomenon of phonocentrism – the systematic privileging of speech over writing. It depicts the Chinese experience as an integral part of a worldwide crisis of non-alphabetic scripts in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It places the crisis of Chinese characters at the center of the making of modern Chinese language, literature, and culture. It investigates how the script crisis and the ensuing script revolution intersect with significant historical processes such as the Chinese engagement in the two World Wars, national and international education movements, the Communist revolution, and national salvation. Since the late nineteenth century, the Chinese writing system began to be targeted as the roadblock to literacy, science and democracy. Chinese and foreign scholars took the abolition of Chinese script to be the condition of modernity. A script revolution was launched as the Chinese response to the script crisis. This dissertation traces the beginning of the crisis to 1916, when Chao Yuen Ren published his English article “The Problem of the Chinese Language,” sweeping away all theoretical oppositions to alphabetizing the Chinese script. This was followed by two major movements dedicated to the task of eradicating Chinese characters: First, the Chinese Romanization Movement spearheaded by a group of Chinese and international scholars which was quickly endorsed by the Guomingdang (GMD) Nationalist government in the 1920s; Second, the dissident Chinese Latinization Movement initiated in the Soviet Union and championed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the 1930s.

D. Cornell University 2015 Grounded in multilingual governmental and private sources, this dissertation redefines twentieth- century China beyond the territorial boundary of the Chinese nation-state. Even though China and Indonesia are not neighboring countries with geographic borderlines, the existence of approximately 2.5 million ethnic Chinese in Indonesia gave rise to an invisible and porous social frontier that could be transgressed more easily and oftentimes accidentally, especially during a period when the Chinese Communist Party’s regime legitimacy was challenged by its Nationalist rival. At the level of the Chinese state’s relationship to the overseas Chinese, Chinese political elites used transnational migrant networks and the global circulation of media to rally popular support and affirm political legitimacy. At the level of the overseas Chinese’s relationship to the Chinese state, the ethnic Chinese were active participants in civic campaigns launched by the pro- Chinese Communist and pro-Chinese Nationalist factions in Indonesia. Both sides claimed that all ethnic Chinese owed their loyalty to China’s sole legitimate center—Beijing according to the Communists or Taipei according to the Nationalists. At the level of state-to-state diplomacy, this continuous politicization of the ethnic Chinese shook the foundation of the Sino-Indonesian strategic partnership.

Signature of Student ______________________ LAUREN GORFINKEL i Acknowledgements This study would not have come to fruition without my expert team of supervisors. Professor Louise Edwards with her infectious enthusiasm first got me on track to begin a PhD and saw it all the way to completion. Along the road, she provided valuable feedback on drafts and encouraged me to partake in a variety of activities that benefited not just the project but my understanding of broader issues surrounding it. When Louise moved to Hong Kong, I was exceptionally fortunate to have on board the equally expert and energetic professor, Wanning Sun, who had just arrived at UTS. Wanning‘s expertise in Chinese media and identity was vital in helping me form the theoretical and analytical framework that became the backbone of this work.

Without them, this project would not have been completed at all or finished on time. First and foremost, I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to my primary supervisor Dr Wei Wang. Looking back, it was hard to imagine or estimate how heavy the workload for the supervision work is: it is not just reading and commenting on your drafts which already involves a huge amount of time and energy. It is more an epistemological training or mind-shaping process, particularly in my case: equipping a literature-mind teacher of Chinese language and literature who had been trained and taught in China with the perspectives and methodologies of social sciences necessary for a researcher. My supervisor gave me invaluable learning and training experience. I am also appreciative of his insightful advice concerning writing in academic English. I thank my co-supervisor Associate Professor Linda Tsung. Linda was concerned with my thesis from the time when the thesis proposal was put forward as early as in 2009. As an expert scholar in language teaching and learning and Chinese education, Linda provided insightful comments and guidance for the structure of the thesis, the data collection and data analysis.
