Ebrey, Chair R. Kent Guy Tani E. Barlow Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History University of Washington Abstract Traveling Stories and Untold Desires: Female Sexuality in Song China, 10th-13th Centuries Hsiao-wen Cheng Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Patricia B. Ebrey History This dissertation examines the historicity of female sexuality during the Song dynasty (960-1279), a time period when print technology, popular culture, and commercial activities had begun to boom yet prior to the emergence of a market for women’s writings. It is both an intellectual history—to trace the changing and conflicting conceptualizations of female sexuality in both elite and popular discourses, and a social history—to look for the possible space and resources for women to negotiate autonomy over their sexual bodies and explore their desires. This dissertation proposes an approach—both academically and politically useful—to study the history of women, gender, and sexuality in premodern China in search of women’s agency and possibilities of transgression using only extant sources written by elite men. That is, I treat my sources as multivocal and inspirational in order to emphasize the contradictory nature of intellectual discourses and social norms on the one hand, and popular appropriations of “traveling stories” and “circulating knowledge” on the other. I seek to examine the historical process of the formation of norms concerning female sexuality during this critical period in Chinese history, the nuances of “queerness” and transgressivenss in my source materials, and the ways that Song Dynasty culture and women’s behaviors and practices related to their sexual bodies mutually defined each other.

As an honor student in college, she once had the dream of pursuing a graduate degree abroad, but the circumstances had not allowed her to do so. If I have ever become more hard-working (against my lazy tendency), it is because I came to realize how many resources have been drawn to support me. And if I receive any reward, it is largely because of my privileged position and those who guide and assist me, and I shall remember my responsibility of assisting others and promoting rights and equality. My deepest gratitude goes to Professor Patricia Ebrey, whom I always feel so fortunate to study with. She has turned me into a real historian and has been the source of so much of my knowledge and inspiration. I am grateful to Professor Kent Guy, Tani Barlow, Susan Shih-shan Huang, Madeleine Yue Dong, and Kyoko Tokuno at UW. They are not simply my intellectual mentors but also my role models. Professor Guy has shown me how fascinating the way Chinese history can be presented especially in lecture class. Professor Barlow has led me to the realm of queer and sexuality studies and challenged me with questions that I had never thought of. Susan has always been so supportive and caring about me in numerous ways ever since I entered the program; she has imparted to me strong interest in the history of images. I have received immense help and support from Professor Dong especially during the last two years; I saw a whole new “China” in her modern Chinese history class. Professor Tokuno has comforted me with the words of wisdom when I felt the most depressed. It is simply impossible here for me to recount all the wonderful things I have received from my professors. Special thanks go to my iv reading committee: Patricia Ebrey, Kent Guy, and Tani Barlow for their meticulous reading of the entire manuscript and insightful comments. For their feedback on drafts of this and related work, I am also grateful to Professor Michael Szonyi, Eugenia Lean, Rania Huntington, Robert Hymes, Antonia Chao, Angelina Chin, Yujen Liu, Howard Chiang, Jen-Hao Walter Hsu, Robban Toleno, and Jason Chan. Portions of the research and writing for this dissertation were funded by the Hsiao Fellowship in the UW China Studies Program, UW History Departmental Fellowships, Aldon Duane Bell Award for Women’s History, UW Graduate School Dissertation Fellowship, China Time Cultural Foundation Young Scholar Award, Hsing Tien Kong Culture and Education Development Foundation Scholarship, and Academia Sinica’s Fellowship for Doctoral Candidate. I particularly would like to thank Professor Jender Lee for her kind sponsorship during the most productive year (2011-2012) of my writing in the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica. Many friends and classmates have provided intellectual and emotional support over the years: Sumei Yi, Jeong Won Hyun, Erin Brightwell, Cheng-shi Shiu, Chong Eun Ahn, Juned Shaikh, Li Yang, Gladys Ge Jian, Yu Huang, Hsun-hui Tseng, Jason Chan, Chad Garcia, Xi Chen, Xiaolin Duan, Tzu-yu Lin, Wenjuan Zhao, Chilan Ta, Michelle Kleisath, Yu-hsuan Su, Pei-ching Liu, Shuxuan Zhou, Leonar Yiong, and Paulina Yang. My life in Seattle has been vibrant because of them. I would also like to extend my thanks to those pleasant and critical minds at Academia Sinica: Yujen Liu, Chih-hua Chiang, Howard Chiang, Jen-Hao Walter Hsu, Wayne Soon, Joe Lawson, Harry Wu, Tomoya Yamaguchi, Robban Toleno, and Angelina Chin. I owe special gratitude to Professor Chang-pwu Hsia and Hsiyuan Chen, who had taught me how to do research and encouraged me to study abroad in the first place; my parents, for their v unconditional love; and Angelina, for her company and support during the final stage of my writing, as well as introducing me to the practice of meditation and the wisdom

Turtle shells with markings reminiscent of ancient Chinese writing from the Shang Dynasty have been carbon dated to as early as 1500 BC.[1] Chinese civilization originated with city-states in the Yellow River (Huang He) valley. 221 BC is commonly accepted to be the year in which China became unified under a large kingdom or empire. In that year, Qin Shi Huang first united China. Successive dynasties in Chinese history developed bureaucratic systems that enabled the Emperor of China to control increasingly larger territory that reached maximum under the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and Manchurian Qing Dynasty.

This Congress will celebrate our achievements as medical women in MWIA over the past 100 years! The theme of the Congress is “Medical Women: Ambassadors of Change in a Challenging Global World,” bridging the past with the present and moving into the future! The theme is very timely, since the specific challenges to women´s health are manifold: e.g. deprivation of women’s rights in many so- cieties, lack of access to health care, socioeconomic, cultural, and political factors. Medical women and national medical women’s associations play an important role in tackling those problems. I am looking forward to fostering dialogue and exchanging ideas with all of you here in New York. MWIA is greatly indebted to the American Medical Women´s Association (AMWA) for hosting this Centennial Congress and making it a memorable event for all of us! Thank you! Being MWIA’s president will always have a special place in my heart and I want to thank you for supporting me, trusting me, and working together with me to make MWIA even stronger. In sisterhood and respect, Bettina Pfleiderer, MD, PhD President, Medical Women’s International Association Dr.

    Historiography and Narratives of the Later Tang (923-936) and Later Jin (936-947) Dynasties in Tenth- to Eleventh- century Sources Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophie an der Ludwig‐Maximilians‐Universität München vorgelegt von Maddalena Barenghi Aus Mailand 2014 Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Hans van Ess Zweitgutachter: Prof. Tiziana Lippiello Datum der mündlichen Prüfung: 31.03.2014 ABSTRACT Historiography and Narratives of the Later Tang (923-36) and Later Jin (936-47) Dynasties in Tenth- to Eleventh-century Sources Maddalena Barenghi This thesis deals with historical narratives of two of the Northern regimes of the tenth-century Five Dynasties period. By focusing on the history writing project commissioned by the Later Tang (923-936) court, it first aims at questioning how early-tenth-century contemporaries narrated some of the major events as they unfolded after the fall of the Tang (618-907). Second, it shows how both late- tenth-century historiographical agencies and eleventh-century historians perceived and enhanced these historical narratives. Through an analysis of selected cases the thesis attempts to show how, using the same source material, later historians enhanced early-tenth-century narratives in order to tell different stories. The five cases examined offer fertile ground for inquiry into how the different sources dealt with narratives on the rise and fall of the Shatuo Later Tang and Later Jin (936- 947). It will be argued that divergent narrative details are employed both to depict in different ways the characters involved and to establish hierarchies among the historical agents.

  • The Life and Writings of Xu Hui (627–650), Worthy Consort, at the Early Tang Court
    life and writings of xu hui paul w. kroll The Life and Writings of Xu Hui (627–650), Worthy Consort, at the Early Tang Court mong the women poets of the Tang dynasty (618–907) surely the A.best known are Xue Tao 薛濤 (770–832), the literate geisha from Shu 蜀, and the volatile, sometime Daoist priestess Yu Xuanji 魚玄機 (ca. 844–870?). More interesting strictly as a poet than these two fig- ures are Li Ye 李冶 who was active during the late-eighth century and whose eighteen remaining poems show more range and skill than either Xue Tao or Yu Xuanji, and the “Lady of the Flower Stamens” (“Hua- rui furen” 花蕊夫人) whose 157 heptametric quatrains in the “palace” style occupy all of juan 798 in Quan Tang shi 全唐詩, even though she lived in the mid-tenth century and served at the court of the short-lived kingdom of Later Shu 後蜀.1 Far more influential in her day than any of these, though barely two dozen of her poems are now preserved, was the elegant Shangguan Wan’er 上官婉兒 (ca. 664–710), granddaughter of the executed courtier and poet Shangguan Yi 上官儀 (?–665) who had paid the ultimate price for opposing empress Wu Zhao’s 吳曌 (625–705) usurpation of imperial privileges.2 After the execution of Shangguan Yi and other members of his family, Wan’er, then just an infant, was taken into the court as a sort of expiation by empress Wu.3 By the end I should like to thank David R.
