  • Sisterly Same-Sex Sentiment
    SISTERLY SAME-SEX SENTIMENT: NON-EROTIC FEMALE RELATIONSHIPS IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY CHINESE LITERATURE AND SOCIETY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ning Zhang December 2017 © 2017 Ning Zhang SISTERLY SAME-SEX SENTIMENT: NON-EROTIC FEMALE RELATIONSHIPS IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY CHINESE LITERATURE AND SOCIETY Ning Zhang, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation is a genealogical investigation of the thematic significance of female same-sex sentimentality in the construction of the space of female imaginary in modern Chinese literature from the beginning of the twentieth-century to contemporary popular culture. By focusing on the textual and cinematic representations in female-authored fiction and woman- centered films, I argue that female same-sex sentiment is primarily a psychological intimate relationship developed from the modern institution of education, in which women will try to avoid developing friendships with the opposite sex in order to maintain the virginity and the chastity that have historically been characterized by patriarchal censorship as moral codes for women. It helps the young female go through her social recasting of self-identification in the transitional stage from kin-inflected family to institutional-based society, and simultaneously convey her into a “homeward” journey of heterosexual marriage. It therefore reflects the integrity of heterosexual mechanics. On the other hand, this intimate relationship between women raises a suggestion of female homoeroticism. By shifting the focus from whether female same-sex sentiment is purely non-erotic or really homosexual to the questions of within which institution and in what language that this female intimate relationship becomes suggestive of being homosexual, I argue that its “in-between” position lies in a lack of feminine discourse based on real gender differentials.

Declaration of Committee Name: Melanie KeYin Qian Degree: Master of Arts Title: Reality Television in the Chinese Mediascape: A Case Study of the Reality-Variety Program Who’s the Murderer Program Director: Katherine Reilly Siyuan Yin Supervisor Assistant Professor, Communication Katherine Reilly Program Director Associate Professor, Communication ii Abstract Reality television is playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives; however, there have been insufficient research on the topic, especially in the reality-variety format. In Western public opinion, it is believed that the Chinese media system is dictated by the CCP, that it is more valuable to study informational content, and that Chinese audiences are passive consumers. However, an analysis of the reality program Who’s the Murderer will suggest otherwise. The analysis for the project was three-fold: (1) an analysis the production and political economy of culture; (2) textual analysis of the program contents; and (3) audience reception of the show based on the analysis of Weibo posts. This study demonstrates that the market forces are playing an increasing role in media production, there exists a blending of informational content and entertainment content within reality television, that the content may lead to social activism, and that Chinese audiences are active participants in the online environment.
