  • I Want to Be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition
    Volume 6 Issue 1 2020 “I Want to be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition Charlene Peishan Chan [email protected] ISSN: 2057-1720 doi: 10.2218/ls.v6i1.2020.4398 This paper is available at: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/lifespansstyles Hosted by The University of Edinburgh Journal Hosting Service: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/ “I Want to be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition Charlene Peishan Chan The years leading up to the political handover of Hong Kong to Mainland China surfaced issues regarding national identification and intergroup relations. These issues manifested in Hong Kong films of the time in the form of film characters’ language ideologies. An analysis of six films reveals three themes: (1) the assumption of mutual intelligibility between Cantonese and Putonghua, (2) the importance of English towards one’s Hong Kong identity, and (3) the expectation that Mainland immigrants use Cantonese as their primary language of communication in Hong Kong. The recurrence of these findings indicates their prevalence amongst native Hongkongers, even in a post-handover context. 1 Introduction The handover of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1997 marked the end of 155 years of British colonial rule. Within this socio-political landscape came questions of identification and intergroup relations, both amongst native Hongkongers and Mainland Chinese (Tong et al. 1999, Brewer 1999). These manifest in the attitudes and ideologies that native Hongkongers have towards the three most widely used languages in Hong Kong: Cantonese, English, and Putonghua (a standard variety of Mandarin promoted in Mainland China by the Government).

  • Tissue-Restricted Genome Editing in Vivo Specified by Microrna-Repressible Anti-CRISPR Proteins
    Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on September 29, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press REPORT Tissue-restricted genome editing in vivo specified by microRNA-repressible anti-CRISPR proteins JOOYOUNG LEE,1 HAIWEI MOU,1,4 RAED IBRAHEIM,1 SHUN-QING LIANG,1 PENGPENG LIU,2 WEN XUE,1,3 and ERIK J. SONTHEIMER1,3 1RNA Therapeutics Institute, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, USA 2Program in Molecular, Cell and Cancer Biology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, USA 3Program in Molecular Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, USA ABSTRACT CRISPR-Cas systems are bacterial adaptive immune pathways that have revolutionized biotechnology and biomedical ap- plications. Despite the potential for human therapeutic development, there are many hurdles that must be overcome be- fore its use in clinical settings. Some clinical safety concerns arise from editing activity in unintended cell types or tissues upon in vivo delivery (e.g., by adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors). Although tissue-specific promoters and serotypes with tissue tropisms can be used, suitably compact promoters are not always available for desired cell types, and AAV tis- sue tropism specificities are not absolute. To reinforce tissue-specific editing, we exploited anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs) that have evolved as natural countermeasures against CRISPR immunity. To inhibit Cas9 in all ancillary tissues without compro- mising editing in the target tissue, we established a flexible platform in which an Acr transgene is repressed by endoge- nous, tissue-specific microRNAs (miRNAs). We demonstrate that miRNAs regulate the expression of an Acr transgene bearing miRNA-binding sites in its 3′′′′′-UTR and control subsequent genome editing outcomes in a cell-type specific manner.

  • 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”).

Created when an increasing number of women turned to the scholarly arts, in particular painting and poetry, these paintings documented the more receptive attitude of literati toward talented women and their support in the social and artistic lives of female intellectuals. These pictures show the women cultivating themselves through literati activities and poetic meditation in nature or gardens, common tropes in portraits of male scholars. The predominantly male patrons, painters, and colophon authors all took part in the formation of the women’s public identities as poets and artists; the first two determined the visual representations, and the third, through writings, confirmed and elaborated on the designated identities.

  • China, Das Chinesische Meer Und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia
    China, das Chinesische Meer und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia Horses of the Xianbei, 300–600 AD: A Brief Survey Shing MÜLLER1 iNTRODUCTION The Chinese cavalry, though gaining great weight in warfare since Qin and Han times, remained lightly armed until the fourth century. The deployment of heavy armours of iron or leather for mounted warriors, especially for horses, seems to have been an innovation of the steppe peoples on the northern Chinese border since the third century, as indicated in literary sources and by archaeological excavations. Cavalry had become a major striking force of the steppe nomads since the fall of the Han dynasty in 220 AD, thus leading to the warfare being speedy and fierce. Ever since then, horses occupied a crucial role in war and in peace for all steppe riders on the northern borders of China. The horses were selectively bred, well fed, and drilled for war; horses of good breed symbolized high social status and prestige of their owners. Besides, horses had already been the most desired commodities of the Chinese. With superior cavalries, the steppe people intruded into North China from 300 AD onwards,2 and built one after another ephemeral non-Chinese kingdoms in this vast territory. In this age of disunity, known pain- fully by the Chinese as the age of Sixteen States (316–349 AD) and the age of Southern and Northern Dynas- ties (349–581 AD), many Chinese abandoned their homelands in the CentraL Plain and took flight to south of the Huai River, barricaded behind numerous rivers, lakes and hilly landscapes unfavourable for cavalries, until the North and the South reunited under the flag of the Sui (581–618 AD).3 Although warfare on horseback was practised among all northern steppe tribes, the Xianbei or Särbi, who originated from the southeastern quarters of modern Inner Mongolia and Manchuria, emerged as the major power during this period.

The names also reflect the beliefs and religion of Singapore Chinese. More significantly, a change of identity and representation is reflected in the names of earlier settlers and Singapore Chinese today. This paper aims to show the general naming traditions of Chinese in Singapore as well as a change in ideology and trends due to globalization. Keywords Singapore, Chinese, names, identity, beliefs, globalization. 1. Introduction When parents choose a name for a child, the name necessarily reflects their thoughts and aspirations with regards to the child. These thoughts and aspirations are shaped by the historical, social, cultural or spiritual setting of the time and place they are living in whether or not they are aware of them. Thus, the study of names is an important window through which one could view how these parents prefer their children to be perceived by society at large, according to the identities, roles, values, hierarchies or expectations constructed within a social space. Goodenough explains this culturally driven context of names and naming practices: Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore The Shaw Foundation Building, Block AS7, Level 5 5 Arts Link, Singapore 117570 e-mail: [email protected] 102 Lee Cher Leng Ethnography of Singapore Chinese Names: Race, Religion, and Representation Different naming and address customs necessarily select different things about the self for communication and consequent emphasis.

    A Place of Reflection: Po-Wen Liu By: Elizabeth Perrill Elizabeth Perrill, “A Place of Reflection: Po-Wen Liu,” Ceramics Monthly. v62 n8 (Oct 2014) 34-37. Originally published in the October 2014 issue of Ceramics Monthly, pages (34–37). http://www.ceramicsmonthly.org. Copyright, The American Ceramic Society. Reprinted with permission. Abstract: The article discusses the work of ceramic artist Po-Wen Liu. Topics include the influence of North Carolina's Blue Ridge Piedmont region on Liu's work, Buddhist influence on Liu's works, and the use of the lotus as a motif in his pottery. He use of glazing techniques including celadon glazing, monochromatic glazing, and alkaline-glaze formulas is noted. Keywords: Po-Wen Liu | ceramics | pottery Article: ***Note: Full text of article below Po-Wen Liu by Dr. Elizabeth Perrill Uprooting one’s self and moving to a new physical location is often a moment for transformation and reflection. This truism can be even more poignant for ceramicists; those who are invested in the history of local ceramic traditions or inspired by specificities of land and architecture are par­ ticularly vulnerable to the travails of displace­ ment. Amidst the exigencies of professional or academic life, the question, “Where is your place?” can become a source of unsettling challenges. In the past decade, Po-Wen Liu, has been no stranger to moving both his home and his studio. Relocating from his native Taiwan, where he earned a degree in ceramic engineering at the competitive National Lian-Ho University, Liu first acquired a BFA in ceramics from the School of American Craft in Rochester, New York in 2000.

Studies have constructed the genetic polymorphism spectrum of Han Chinese, whereas high-resolution investigations are still missing to unveil its fine-scale substructure and trace the genetic imprints for its demographic history. Here we construct a haplotype network consisted of 111,000 genome-wide genotyped Han Chinese individuals from direct-to-consumer genetic testing and over 1.3 billion identity-by-descent (IBD) links. We observed a clear separation of the northern and southern Han Chinese and captured 5 subclusters and 17 sub-subclusters in haplotype network hierarchical clustering, corresponding to geography (especially mountain ranges), immigration waves, and clans with cultural-linguistic segregation.
