To this end, under-examined British, French, and Russian diplomatic and personal documents are consulted, shedding new light on lesser-known aspects of major power activities in Korea during the age of High Imperialism from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Ultimately, the attempts of foreign powers, especially Japan, to control these means of communication severely undermined Korea’s independent capacity to execute diplomacy during key moments and eventually extinguished any chance for Korea to retain its fragile independence through neutralisation. Keywords: telegraph lines, postal system, Sino-Japanese rivalry, Russo-Japanese rivalry, imperialism Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Western imperialism intruded into East Asia.

Sturman, Chair Professor Miriam Wattles Professor Hui-shu Lee December 2016 The dissertation of Seokwon Choi is approved. _____________________________________________ Miriam Wattles _____________________________________________ Hui-shu Lee _____________________________________________ Peter C. Sturman, Committee Chair September 2016 Fashioning the Reclusive Persona: Zeng Jing’s Informal Portraits of the Jiangnan Literati Copyright © 2016 by Seokwon Choi iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My sincerest gratitude goes to my advisor, Professor Peter C. Sturman, whose guidance, patience, and confidence in me have made my doctoral journey not only possible but also enjoyable. It is thanks to him that I was able to transcend the difficulties of academic work and find pleasure in reading, writing, painting, and calligraphy. As a role model, Professor Sturman taught me how to be an artful recluse like the Jiangnan literati. I am also greatly appreciative for the encouragement and counsel of Professor Hui-shu Lee. Without her valuable suggestions from its earliest stage, this project would never have taken shape. I would like to express appreciation to Professor Miriam Wattles for insightful comments and thought-provoking discussions that helped me to consider the issues of portraiture in a broader East Asian context. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Susan Tai, Elizabeth Atkins Curator of Asian Art at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. She was my Santa Barbara mother, and she helped made my eight-year sojourn in the American Riviera one that I will cherish forever.

  • Production and Trade of Porcelain in China, 1000-1500
    Production and Trade of Porcelain in China, 1000-1500 Shelagh Vainker Ashmolean Museum, Oxford Email: [email protected] Just as the Song dynasty (960-1279) has been identified by economic historians as a peak after which no significant developments took place, so it is a period of culmination in the manufacture of ceramics. Between the 10th and 12th centuries, green, black or white high- fired wares that had been produced for centuries were made with finer bodies, smoother and more complex glazes and in a greater range of shapes than ever before, and in unprecedented quantities. They also became admired and moreover collected as objects of aesthetic, cultural and monetary value, a practice that had previously been restricted to works of art such as calligraphy and painting, or to the jades and bronze vessels associated with high antiquity and the authority to rule. This was also however the period in which was established China’s most enduring and famous kiln site, Jingdezhen. To that extent the period is not only a technological peak, but a pivotal one during which the centre of the ceramics industry began its shift from north to south China. At the time when the northern kilns were producing pieces for the imperial court and wares that would be adopted into the canon of connoisseur’s collectibles, southern kilns were making pots for everyday local use, and for export. In many instances, these imitated the northern wares in both technology and style; all were part of a country-wide industry with a distribution of manufacturing centres that was unprecedented and has not been repeated, for it is notable that during the pre-eminence of the north in potting, the south was also rich in kiln sites and products, while once the shift south had occurred no significant industry continued in north China.
