  • Chinese Culture Themes and Cultural Development: from a Family Pedagogy to A
    Chinese Culture themes and Cultural Development: from a Family Pedagogy to a Performance-based Pedagogy of a Foreign Language and Culture DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nan Meng Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Galal Walker, Advisor Mari Noda Mineharu Nakayama Copyright by Nan Meng 2012 Abstract As the number of Americans studying and working in China increases, it becomes important for language educators to reconsider the role of culture in teaching Chinese as a foreign language. Many American learners of Chinese fail to achieve their communicative goals in China because they are unable to establish and convey their intentions, or to interpret their interlocutors’ intentions. Only knowing the linguistic code is not sufficient; therefore, it is essential to develop learners’ abilities to be socialized to Chinese culture. A working definition of culture theme as a series of situated acts associated with cultural values is proposed. In order to explore how children acquire culture themes with competent social guides, a quantitative comparative study of maternal speech and a micro-ethnographic discourse analysis of adult-child interactions are presented. Parental discourse patterns are shown to be culturally specific activities that not only foster language development, but also maintain normative dimensions of social life. The culture themes are developed at a young age through children’s interactions with Chinese speakers under the guidance of their parents or caregivers. In order to communicate successfully people have to do things within the shared time and space provided by the culture.

  • Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late-Ming China
    Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late-Ming China Noga Ganany Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Noga Ganany All rights reserved ABSTRACT Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late Ming China Noga Ganany In this dissertation, I examine a genre of commercially-published, illustrated hagiographical books. Recounting the life stories of some of China’s most beloved cultural icons, from Confucius to Guanyin, I term these hagiographical books “origin narratives” (chushen zhuan 出身傳). Weaving a plethora of legends and ritual traditions into the new “vernacular” xiaoshuo format, origin narratives offered comprehensive portrayals of gods, sages, and immortals in narrative form, and were marketed to a general, lay readership. Their narratives were often accompanied by additional materials (or “paratexts”), such as worship manuals, advertisements for temples, and messages from the gods themselves, that reveal the intimate connection of these books to contemporaneous cultic reverence of their protagonists. The content and composition of origin narratives reflect the extensive range of possibilities of late-Ming xiaoshuo narrative writing, challenging our understanding of reading. I argue that origin narratives functioned as entertaining and informative encyclopedic sourcebooks that consolidated all knowledge about their protagonists, from their hagiographies to their ritual traditions. Origin narratives also alert us to the hagiographical substrate in late-imperial literature and religious practice, wherein widely-revered figures played multiple roles in the culture. The reverence of these cultural icons was constructed through the relationship between what I call the Three Ps: their personas (and life stories), the practices surrounding their lore, and the places associated with them (or “sacred geographies”).

  • The Poetry of Ouyang Jianghe 欧阳江河 Selections: 1984-1995
    The Poetry of Ouyang Jianghe 欧阳江河 Selections: 1984-1995 Ouyang Jianghe was born September 1956 in Luzhou in Sichuan Province. Because he shared his name (Jianghe) with the already famous Misty poet from Beijing, in 1985 added the Ouyang as a prefix so as to differentiate the two. It was also in this year that he began to participate in Sichuan’s rowdy unofficial poetry scene, taking on a behind-the-scenes role in the production of various journals, such as Day By Day Make It New 日日新 and Han Poetry 汉诗, while contributing to most major journals in the province and some outside, such as Tendency 倾向, during the rest of the 1980s and on into the 1990s. During the same period, an increasing quantity of Ouyang’s poetry and critical essays appeared in official literary journals, but it was not until 1997 that his first book-length collection of poetry and essays was officially published. In the early 1990s, he was able to obtain a passport and spent several months in the USA and western Europe. Ouyang has written little poetry or criticism in recent years, and now resides in Beijing. 1) Selections from The Suspended Coffin [ 悬棺] Chapter l: A Book of Heaven Without Words [ 第一章：：：无字天书：无字天书] Chapter 2: The Art of Escape of the Five Elements [ 第二章：：：五行遁术：五行遁术] Chapter 3: A Pocket-size Flower Garden [ 第三章：：：袖珍花园：袖珍花园] 2) A Night in Your Silhouette [ 背影里的一夜] 3) A Public Monologue [ 公开的独白] 4) The Death of a Swan [天鹅之死] 5) Shostakovich: Waiting to be Shot [ 肖斯塔科维奇：：：等待枪杀：等待枪杀] 6) Girls Out of School [ 放学的女孩] 7) Between Chinese and English [ 汉英之间] 8) The Glass Factory [ 玻璃工厂] 9) An Apple Tree in Sunlight [ 阳光中的苹果树] 10) Wisdom's Dance of the Skeleton [ 智慧的骷髅之舞] 11) Seawater Bites Deepest to the Bone [ 最刺骨的火焰是海水] 12) The Beauty [美人] 13) The Hand Gun [ 手枪] 14) Selections from The Final Mirage [ 最后的幻想] I.

It was validated with the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Results show that the proportion who self-reported as Chinese has high agreement with the proportion identified by the surname list in the CCHS. The surname list was applied to the Alberta Health Insurance Plan registry database to define the Chinese ethnic population, and to the Vital Statistics Death Registry to assess the Chinese ethnic population mortality in Alberta.
