CONTEMPORARY CHINA: a BOOK LIST (Winter 1999 — FIRST ON-LINE EDITION, MS Word, L&R Margins 0.9 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School, Politics Department, East Asian Studies Program CONTEMPORARY CHINA: A BOOK LIST (Winter 1999 — FIRST ON-LINE EDITION, MS Word, L&R margins 0.9") by Lynn White This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of the seminars WWS 576a/Pol. 536 on "Chinese Development" and Pol. 535 on "Chinese Politics," as well as the undergraduate lecture course, Pol. 362; --to provide graduate students with a list that can help their study for comprehensive exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not too much should be made of this, because some such books may be too old for students' purposes or the subjects may not be central to present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan. Students with specific research topics should definitely meet Laird Klingler, who is WWS Librarian and the world's most constructive wizard. This list cannot cover articles, but computer databases can. Rosemary Little and Mary George at Firestone are also enormously helpful. Especially for materials in Chinese, so is Martin Heijdra in Gest Library (Palmer Hall; enter up the staircase near the "hyphen" with Jones Hall). Other local resources are at institutes run by Chen Yizi and Liu Binyan (for current numbers, ask at EAS, 8-4276). Professional bibliographers are the most neglected major academic resource at Princeton. Visit them. Introduce yourself to them early in any research project. This list offers call numbers of the Princeton Library system (if in Gest Library, with an added "G"; or if in the Wilson School, with a "W"). Look inside the call numbers for publication years (for example, .1995 is abbreviated '95). When the call number does not include the year, it is sometimes offered after the title on this list. Items that lack call numbers on this list are nontheless usually on campus; many are presently being catalogued. Call numbers are noted for many books mainly to facilitate browsing the shelves in Princeton's open stacks. Interlibrary Loan is another way to obtain items, for researchers who begin early enough. Publishers and old dates are omitted to save costs, because this list is reproduced in many copies. Articles are not included; there is notably incomplete Web information and a list of relevant journals. Non-English works are too many to include; but students who read Chinese should consult Lynn and Gest Library's bibliographer, Martin Heijdra. Many book titles are shortened to reduce the number of pages in this list, but the titles' first words and the first authors' names should be correct. On-line databases offer full references. This edition of the bibliography may be on the Internet, although it will not be amended at the speed of light. Grateful acknowledgement goes to Michael Agelasto, David Bachman, Nancy Hearst, George Hicks, Marlowe Hood, Hu Chun, Li Cheng, Connie So, David Spiro, Zheng Yongnian, and 2 others for help with this list. All users are asked to send additions and amendments to Lynn White (who is at 609-258-2809, voicemail at 258-4839, or home at 924-1665; also [email protected]). Please send notes on items that should appear here. Unless you do, please avoid offense at any items omitted. But not all books here are surely recommended. Topics classified by the list are shown below in a table of contents. Books that could be put under alternative categories nonetheless usually appear under just one. So explore the whole list for items relevant to your interest. 3 TOPIC ......................................................

  • Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989
    Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989 Geremie Barmé1 There should be room for my extremism; I certainly don’t demand of others that they be like me... I’m pessimistic about mankind in general, but my pessimism does not allow for escape. Even though I might be faced with nothing but a series of tragedies, I will still struggle, still show my opposition. This is why I like Nietzsche and dislike Schopenhauer. Liu Xiaobo, November 19882 I FROM 1988 to early 1989, it was a common sentiment in Beijing that China was in crisis. Economic reform was faltering due to the lack of a coherent program of change or a unified approach to reforms among Chinese leaders and ambitious plans to free prices resulted in widespread panic over inflation; the question of political succession to Deng Xiaoping had taken alarming precedence once more as it became clear that Zhao Ziyang was under attack; nepotism was rife within the Party and corporate economy; egregious corruption and inflation added to dissatisfaction with educational policies and the feeling of hopelessness among intellectuals and university students who had profited little from the reforms; and the general state of cultural malaise and social ills combined to create a sense of impending doom. On top of this, the government seemed unwilling or incapable of attempting to find any new solutions to these problems. It enlisted once more the aid of propaganda, empty slogans, and rhetoric to stave off the mounting crisis. University students in Beijing appeared to be particularly heavy casualties of the general malaise.

Songs of political parties and movements: Mau Mau hymns; Guinea R.D.A. songs; Northern Rhodesian party songs. It has been well said that oral poetry takes the place of newspapers among non-literate peoples. Songs can be used to report and comment on current affairs, for political pressure, for propaganda, and to reflect and mould public opinion. This political and topical function can be an aspect of many of the types of poetry already discussed—work songs, lyric, praise poetry, even at times something as simple as a lullaby—but it is singled out for special discussion in this chapter. It is of particular importance to draw attention to this and to give a number of examples because of the common tendency in studies of African verbal art to concentrate mainly on the ‘traditional’—whether in romanticizing or in deprecating tone—and to overlook its topical functions, especially its significance in contemporary situations. There have been a few admirable exceptions to this attitude to African oral literature, notably Tracey and others associated with the African Music Society (see esp.

  • Discourse and Ideology: the Taiwan Issue in the Chinese and American Media1
    Discourse and Ideology: The Taiwan Issue in the Chinese and American Media1 Xiaofei Lu 1. Introduction With Lee Teng-’statehood claim on 9 July 1999, the density of media reportage on the Taiwan issue rocketed and remained high till an earthquake struck Taiwan in late September. Notable are the many textual differences between the Chinese and American media representations of the issue. However, are these differences systematic? Are they triggered by their underlying socio-ideological contexts? How do they in turn bear upon their underlying ideologies? These are the questions that have prompted interest in the present research. This paper applies the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis to a comparative study of two corpora of Chinese and American Internet news discourse on the Taiwan issue during this period. The purpose of the study is to reveal how the dialectical relationship between discourse and ideology is instantiated in this particular case. The hypotheses formulated from preliminary observations of the news texts are threefold. First, we expect the textual differences between the Chinese and American news discourse to be systematic, and we aim to describe and interpret them with the aid of computer tools. Second, we expect these differences to be determined by the socio-ideological contexts underlying the production of the news discourse, and we aim to explicate how that actually works. Third, we expect the corpora of news discourse to bear different counter- impacts on their underlying socio-ideological contexts, and we aim to illustrate these functions specifically. 2. Framework and methodology Within the theoretical framework of Critical Discourse Analysis, discourse is defined as “ of language in speech and writing seen as a form of social ” (Fairclough, 1992:63; 1995:54).

The Histories, Volume 4, Number 2 2 Articles I Perspectives o f the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution: A Historiographic Survey By Matthew E. Kowalski Between the years 1966-69, Communist China experienced one of the greatest periods of social and political upheaval in its history. In assessing the meaning of Mao’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, historians and political scientists have argued from several different viewpoints. One facet of the Cultural Revolution that has proved particularly controversial is the role of the Red Guard movement in the shaping of political events. During the late sixties and early seventies, many ‘China Watchers’ and academics saw the Red Guard movement as a shining example of ‘people power’ and student agency. These scholars tended to regard the events in China as being linked to the global student protest movement of the Vietnam-war era.
