    © 2013 Yi-ling Lin CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT IN MISSIONARY CHINA: AMERICAN MISSIONARY NOVELS 1880-1930 BY YI-LING LIN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral committee: Professor Waïl S. Hassan, Chair Professor Emeritus Leon Chai, Director of Research Professor Emeritus Michael Palencia-Roth Associate Professor Robert Tierney Associate Professor Gar y G. Xu Associate Professor Rania Huntington, University of Wisconsin at Madison Abstract From a comparative standpoint, the American Protestant missionary enterprise in China was built on a paradox in cross-cultural encounters. In order to convert the Chinese—whose religion they rejected—American missionaries adopted strategies of assimilation (e.g. learning Chinese and associating with the Chinese) to facilitate their work. My dissertation explores how American Protestant missionaries negotiated the rejection-assimilation paradox involved in their missionary work and forged a cultural identification with China in their English novels set in China between the late Qing and 1930. I argue that the missionaries’ novelistic expression of that identification was influenced by many factors: their targeted audience, their motives, their work, and their perceptions of the missionary enterprise, cultural difference, and their own missionary identity. Hence, missionary novels may not necessarily be about conversion, the missionaries’ primary objective but one that suggests their resistance to Chinese culture, or at least its religion. Instead, the missionary novels I study culminate in a non-conversion theme that problematizes the possibility of cultural assimilation and identification over ineradicable racial and cultural differences.

While the dissertation itself is an overwhelming feat, this acknowledgements section feels equally heavy. Expressing my gratitude and thanks for every person who has made this possiBle feels quite impossiBle. And as someone who once detested both school and writing, there’s a lot of people I am thankful for. It is a fact that I could not completed a PhD, let alone a dissertation, on my own. Graduate school wears you down, and especially one framed By the 2016 presidential election and 2020 uprisings, rise of white supremacy, and a gloBal pandemic, graduate school is really hard and writing is the last thing you want to do. While I’ve spent days going through mental lists of people and groups who’ve helped me, this is not a complete list and my sincere apologies to anyone I’ve forgotten. First and foremost, this dissertation would not be where it is today without the guidance and support of my advisors Jo Lee and Elliott Powell. The hours of advice and words of wisdom I received from you both not only shaped my project and affirmed its direction, but they also reminded me of the realistic expectations we should have for ourselves.

  • Big Men” Should Come Tagged with a Warning: the Side Effects of Global Capitalism May Include Dizziness, Nausea and Seething Outrage
    Impact Partners, Screen Pass Pictures and Whitewater Films Present 99 min. 1 Like a number of recent hot-button docus, from “Crude” to “Inside Job,” Rachel Boynton’s extraordinary “Big Men” should come tagged with a warning: The side effects of global capitalism may include dizziness, nausea and seething outrage. Using razor-sharp journalistic skill to untangle the knotty saga of an American petroleum company’s entrance into the West African republic of Ghana, Boynton’s film also poses a series of troubling philosophical questions: Is unchecked greed an intrinsic part of the human character? Is “the greater good” ever more than a convenient euphemism where big business and big government are concerned? Wide fest exposure and ancillary sales seem assured for this Tribeca world premiere, which also richly deserves a theatrical pickup. “Big Men” reps Boynton’s first feature docu since her acclaimed 2005 debut, “Our Brand Is Crisis,” which looked wryly upon the intrusion of American political spin doctors (including James Carville) into the 2002 Bolivian presidential election. (The docu was subsequently acquired by George Clooney for a narrative remake.) In her new film, Boynton again charts a fascinating and often fractious collision between First World and Third, beginning with the discovery of a large offshore oil field (named Jubilee Field) 60 kilometers from the Ghana coast. The find is the handiwork of Kosmos Energy, a Texas- 2 based oil startup, which begins rapidly working toward the pumping of “first oil” from the Jubilee site. We are still in the salad days of 2007, before the Dow — and the price of oil — took their calamitous 2008 tumbles.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Writing these acknowledgements is an enjoyable, yet intimidating task. Enjoyable, because there are many people who have helped me throughout this journey, and I am thrilled to be able to thank them publicly at long last. Intimidating, because I know that whatever I write, it will not be sufficient to express the depths of gratitude I feel for the new perspectives I have gained through their patient mentoring, support, and fine examples. It seems to me, as I’m sure it does to others, that this dissertation took a long time to complete, but this is a complicated story with many influences and viewpoints to consider. I couldn’t have finished any sooner without missing critical pieces of the story. One truism I learned through the process of this investigation is that once you awaken history from its slumber, it becomes a living, dynamic creature with a trajectory and mind of its own.

  • PART Copyright Material
    Copyright Material – Provided by Taylor & Francis PART 1 News emocratic theory gives the press a crucial role. In traditional democracies, educa- tion and information are the pillars on which a free society rests. Informed public opinion is typically believed to be a weapon of enormous power—indeed, the cor- Dnerstone of legislative government. Therefore, a free press is central to Thomas Jefferson’s understanding of politics, for example; Jefferson characteristically referred to an independent information system as “that liberty which guards our other liberties.”1 Because of the press’s privileged position (commonly termed the enlightenment func- tion), outside critics and inside leaders have persistently urged it toward responsible behav- ior. Thomas Jefferson himself lamented how such a noble enterprise could degrade itself by publishing slander and error. Joseph Pulitzer worried that without high ethical ideals, news- papers would fail to serve the public and could even become dangerous. Early in the seven- teenth century, the French moralist La Bruyère chided newswriters for reporting trivia and demeaning their high obligation: “They lie down at night in great tranquility upon a piece of news . which they are obliged to throw away when they awake.” A few years earlier, John Cleveland cautioned against respecting the authors of memoirs, “for that would be knight- ing a Mandrake . and giving an engineer’s reputation to the maker of mousetraps.”2 Modern criticisms of journalism seem merely to echo complaints that are centuries old. However, the number of today’s cavilers and the bitterness of their attacks set the present decade apart. A free press remains our national glory in a complicated world where expecta- tions of journalistic performance are higher than ever before.

    Contentious Ethics Creativity and Persuasion Among Environmental Organizers in South India by John Mathias A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Social Work and Anthropology) in the University of Michigan 2017 Doctoral Committee Professor Webb Keane, Co-Chair Emeritus Professor David J. Tucker, Co-Chair Professor Lorraine M. Gutierrez Associate Professor Matthew S. Hull Professor Stuart Kirsch Associate Professor Karen M. Staller John Mathias [email protected] ORCID ID: 0000-0001-8372-0078 © John Mathias 2017 Dedication For Sharat and Zabna ii Acknowledgements One of the central arguments of this dissertation is that the path of a human life is drawn neither by social fate nor by force of will, but by a heterogeneous slew of pushes and pulls arising from the interaction of a self with its many others, human and otherwise. My path during the last decade of graduate study—through all its meanderings, its slow climbs, and its headlong sprints—is surely case in point. At every step, I have been guided, coaxed, and driven along by others, whether through advice or inspiration, encouragement or provocation, obstacles or opportunities, prayers or bets. In deference to convention, I limit the record here to just a few of those who have most directly impacted this manuscript. The Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowship provided the bulk of the funding for this research. Funders at the University of Michigan include the Rackham Graduate School, the Anthropology Department, the School of Social Work, the International Institute, and the Center for International and Comparative Studies.
