Professor Chen gave me invaluable advice on my research and always challenged me to think and rethink deeper. Professor Hegel read each of my chapters with assiduous comments and meticulous edits, and has been a great mentor supporting my research and my career. I also thank my dissertation examination committee members: Professors Rebecca Copeland, Diane Lewis, Zhao Ma and Marvin Marcus. All of them have spent significant time and efforts on reviewing my research and gave me constructive comments. Professor David Der-wei Wang gave me great insights when I started the project and introduced me to important scholars in the field, which I am most grateful for. I thank Professor Huang Ying-che and Dr. Li Wen-ching for their guidance to resources, archives and conferences and their generosity and friendship; I thank them for always having faith in me. Dr. Zhang Quan and Professor Zhang Juling helped me locate wartime publications when I conducted research in Beijing. The late woman writer, Mei Niang (Sun Jiarui, 1920-2013), who was a contemporary and counterpart of Eileen Chang, introduced me to Manchukuo literature. Dr. May-yi Shaw shared her cozy and beautiful apartments with me when I did my research in Tokyo and Shanghai. Professor Peng Hsiao-yen generously supported me when I was a Visiting Associate at Academia Sinica. Without their help and support, I cannot enjoy my journey when conducting this research. I also thank Professor Chang Hsiao-hung for her comments and kind words in the Nagoya conference, and thank Professor Hamada Maya for editing and publishing my Manchukuo chapter in Hyôhaku no joji: 1940 nendai no higashi Ajia niokeru bunretsu to sesshoku. The writing and research of this dissertation have been made possible by the generous financial support of China Times Cultural Foundation, Washington University in St. Louis and Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange.

My utmost thanks are to my Ah Kong and Ah Ma, who shared their wartime stories and inspired this project. Ah Kong, chit-pun lunbun si sia ho li e. This dissertation is dedicated to my grandparents. Chun-yu Lu April 2016 v Make Love and War: Chinese Popular Romance in "Greater East Asia" Chun-yu Lu Abstract My dissertation examines Chinese popular romances produced and consumed in the Japanese colonized and occupied regions, including Taiwan, Manchukuo, and Shanghai, during the Second Sino-Japanese War. I investigate the complex relationships between emotion, representation, and consumption vis-à-vis wartime discourses and sociopolitical turmoil. Through extensive archival research in Taiwan, China and Japan, I (re)discovered and reevaluated five important wartime popular romance writers and their works. In addition to fiction, sequels, film and stage play adaptations, Japanese translation and readers/viewers’ responses all together create the cultural phenomena of the popular romance genre. In this dissertation I ask the following questions: How is emotion and love articulated vis-à-vis wartime politics? How does the popular romance genre engage with its environment? How could this genre demarcate, blur, cross or reinforce the boundaries between eroticism and patriotism, the individual and the state, and the private and the public? I argue that even though the wartime politics dictate that private emotions be devoted to the public needs (i.e., the War) and hence individual interests should be subjugated to the collective, Chinese writers and readers pursued individuality through the discourses of romantic love and the devotion to the opposite sex rather than to the nation or to the colonizer. Thus, paradoxically, popular romance, even though a mass production, is a collective channel for reaffirming individual existence under political pressure. vi vii Introduction: Make Love and War: Chinese Popular Romance in “Greater East Asia” I. Research Scope, Questions and Main Argument This dissertation examines Chinese popular romances produced and consumed in the Japanese colonized and occupied regions, including Taiwan, Manchukuo, and Shanghai, during the Second Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945. In this dissertation I investigate the complex relationships between emotion, representation, and consumption vis-à-vis wartime discourses and sociopolitical turmoil.

This ideal, which is at the core of the modern folk theory of masculinity in Nanchong, centres on notions of men's ability (nengli) and responsibility (zeren).

INTRODUCTION 5460 words In the past ten years or so, important advances in our understanding of the formation of East Asian populations, historical cultures and language phyla have been made separately by geneticists, physical anthropologists, archaeologists and linguists. In particular, the genetics of East Asian populations have become the focus of intense scrutiny. The mapping of genetic markers, both classical and molecular, is progressing daily: geneticists are now proposing scenarios for the initial settlement of East Asia by modern humans, as well as for population movements in more recent times. Chinese archaeologists have shown conclusively that the origins of rice agriculture are to be sought in the mid-Yangzi region around 10,000 BP and that a millet-based agriculture developed in the Huang He Valley somewhat later.

  • Wreckage, War, Woman. Fragments of a Female Self in Zhang Ailing's
    e-ISSN 2385-3042 ISSN 1125-3789 Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale Vol. 56 – Giugno 2020 Wreckage, War, Woman. Fragments of a Female Self in Zhang Ailing’s Love In a Fallen City (倾城之恋) Alessandra Di Muzio Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia Abstract This article examines wreckage and war as key elements in Zhang Ailing’s novella Qing cheng zhi lian 倾城之恋 (Love in a Fallen City) exploring the strategies used by the female protagonist to engage on a nüxing 女性 ‘feminist’-oriented spatial quest for independence in a male-centered world. Analysed from a feminist perspective, these strategies emerge as potentially empowering and based on the idea of conflict/con- quest while dealing with man and romance, but they are also constantly threatened by the instability of history and by the lack of any true agency and gender-specific space for women in the 1940s Chinese society and culture. By analysing the floating/stability dichotomy and the spatial configurations of Shanghai and Hong Kong as described in the novella, the author argues Zhang Ailing’s depiction of Chinese women while dealing with history, society and the quest for self-affirmation is left in-between wreckage and survival, oppression and feminism, revealing her eccentric otherness as a woman and as a writer with respect to socially committed literature. Keywords Zhang Ailing. Love in a Fallen City. Wreckage. War. Feminist spatial quest. Summary 1 Introduction. An Ambivalent Form of Desolation. – 2 From Wreckage to Wreckage. – 3 Conflict and Conquest. Bai Liusu and Her ‘War’ for Life. – 4 Empty Fragments Floating.

  • Ming-Qing Women's Song Lyrics to the Tune Man Jiang Hong
    engendering heroism: ming-qing women’s song 1 ENGENDERING HEROISM: MING-QING WOMEN’S SONG LYRICS TO THE TUNE MAN JIANG HONG* by LI XIAORONG (McGill University) Abstract The heroic lyric had long been a masculine symbolic space linked with the male so- cial world of career and achievement. However, the participation of a critical mass of Ming-Qing women lyricists, whose gendered consciousness played a role in their tex- tual production, complicated the issue. This paper examines how women crossed gen- der boundaries to appropriate masculine poetics, particularly within the dimension of the heroic lyric to the tune Man jiang hong, to voice their reflections on larger historical circumstances as well as women’s gender roles in their society. The song lyric (ci 詞), along with shi 詩 poetry, was one of the dominant genres in which late imperial Chinese women writers were active.1 The two conceptual categories in the aesthetics and poetics of the song lyric—“masculine” (haofang 豪放) and “feminine” (wanyue 婉約)—may have primarily referred to the textual performance of male authors in the tradition. However, the participation of a critical mass of Ming- Qing women lyricists, whose gendered consciousness played a role in * This paper was originally presented in the Annual Meeting of the Association for Asian Studies, New York, March 27-30, 2003.
