1 Racism, Religion and Governmentality In Racism, religion and governmentality in China the Muslim rebellion in the 19th century Yuehua Dong Field of study: Religion in Peace and Conflict Level: Master Credits: 30 credits Thesis Defense: Spring 2016 Supervisor: Mattias Gardell Department of Theology Uppsala University 1 Abstract: This thesis consists of historical narratives on Muslim rebellion (1864-1877) in Xinjiang together with several parts of theoretical applications on racial-culturalism, nationalism, governmentality and further discussion on colonialism in the 19th century of China. By taking this 14 years’ historical event as a prototype, with analysis on historical archives, thesis has explored lots of issues which reflect ethnic conflicts on religion, racial-culturalism and governmentality on Xinjiang. With discourse analysis as leading method in analyzing original archives, this thesis depicts racial notions as “shengfan (raw barbarian)”, “shufan (cooked barbarian)” as core opinions in rulers’ political colonial view, hence formed Chinese unification and national identity and even influenced on governmentality in Xinjiang in Qing dynasty. And this vigilance of Qing rulers came from a mixed political consideration which combined islamophobia with frontier security issues. The results of the analysis indicate that there are three features from the events within the empiric materials’ analysis: there was strong evidence to present Qing rulers’ political discourse on ethnocentric view also with racial cultural superiority; the formation of Chinese nationalism was changed with enlarging territory; defects in Qing’s governmentality in Xinjiang became a blasting fuse which led to rebellion. By this researching conclusion, this paper provides more inspirations and indications on perspectives like cultural differences, Qing’s governmentality, frontier security and unification thought in rulers since ancient times. These will give more clues to understand ongoing conflict in modern China. Keyword: racial culturalism, nationalism, governmentality, ethnocentric 2 1.

Introduction Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, is an autonomous region in the northwest of China. It is the largest Chinese administrative division and shares borders with eight countries. It is also bordered, to the south, by Tibet. It is a home to a number of ethnic groups including the Uyghur, Han, Kazakhs, Tajiks, Hui, Kyrgyz, and Mongols. More than a dozen autonomous prefectures and counties for minorities are in Xinjiang. It has a documented history of at least 2,500 years and with a succession of peoples (tribes) and empires has taken control over all or parts of this territory. Several civilizations of Asia came across here and left long-lasting marks on the history of this area. Hence these brought a variety of changes on politics, social patterns, and cultures to this region. Before the 21st century, all or part of the region has been ruled or controlled by various states. The Chinese part of central Asia, that is the Xinjiang-Uyghur Autonomous region, is divided into two unequal parts by Tianshan range: eastern Xinjiang which is mostly desert; and Zhungharia1, which is a grassland steppe in the plains and mountain valleys. Around the mid-19th century, there were only one to two million people lived in this region2. 1.2. Historical events as research scope 1.2.1. Selected events in history as researching subjects After careful observations and considerations, I decide to build up my thesis’s study with scope on an earlier historical period in the 19th century, basically from 1864-1877, the events I select to researching theme are: The Muslim rebellion (1864-1877) in northwest of China and Qing government’s reconquest of Xinjiang (1876–1878). This special period started with an enormous political upheaval that quickly swept the whole 1 Note: also can be spelled as “Zungharia” 2 Note: Under the Qing Dynasty China, its territory covered 10 per cent of the Earth’s land area and became one of the largest empires in history.

And this revolt led to the establishment of an independent Muslim state ruled by Yaqub Beg3. This independent state ended up with Yaqub Beg’s death and the Qing government's conquest in 1877.

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).

  • Cup of Solid Gold) Words By: Yan Fu Music By: Bo Tong in Use: 1911-1912 China's First Official Anthem Was Used in the Last Months of the Qing Dynasty
    CHINA-NATIONALANTHEMS – 1911-1912 – INFO Die offiziellen Links von „nationalanthems“ (.htm und .mid) funktionieren leider nicht hier auf dem PDF – 18. MÄRZ 2012 Ruth Kissling de Bâle-Suisse Malerin – Anthems of China 鞏金甌 " " "Gong Jin'ou" (Cup of Solid Gold) Words by: Yan Fu Music by: Bo Tong In use: 1911-1912 China's first official anthem was used in the last months of the Qing dynasty. The anthem was by Bo Tong, a high-ranking officer of the Imperial Guard and Yan Fu, commander of the Qing Navy. Guo Cengxin, Master of Ceremonies, made some minor adjustments and arranged the music. The anthem was officially adopted on October 4, 1911, but was used for centuries beforehand in official Qing dyansty functions, going back to when Emperor Kang Xi was crowned in 1675. It's official use as China's royal anthem was shortlived, as the Wuchang Uprising, meant to end China's imperial era, started six days after the anthem was officially adopted. The Republic of China was created on January 1, 1912 and the emporer abdicated on February 12. As such, the anthem did not gain much notoriety in China. The primary purpose of the anthem was to advocate the Qing Dynasty and create a sense of well-being among the Chinese. This song was banned in Communist China, but the ban is now lifted (probably after 1978). "Gong Jin'ou" was made the anthem again in 1917 for 12 days when a former Qing general started a coup and reinstated Qing Dynasty. Since this was used as a praise to the emporer, this is also a royal anthem.
