  • Feature Gater Inage
    29 Feature II China in Chiba: Das Landhaus Aishinkakurafuketsukagū in Inage Nicht weit vom Bahnhof Keisei Inage liegt auf einem Hügel ein großer Shintō-Schrein, der Sengen Jinja. Früher bot sich von dort oben ein herrlicher Blick auf die Tokyoter Bucht ‒ heute ist von ihr allerdings nichts mehr zu sehen, wurden doch Polder ange- legt und freie Flächen bebaut. In unmittelbarer Nähe zum Schreingelände verläuft nun die Autobahn zwischen Tokyo und Chiba, und das Haupttor des Schreins, das vor dem Krieg noch im Meerwasser stand, liegt nun am Rande eines Wohnviertels. Trotzdem ist der Sengen-Schrein gut besucht, vor allem an Neujahr und am wichtigsten Festtag des Schreines Mitte Juli (in diesem Jahr am 14./15. Juli). Was die meisten Pilger nicht bemerken, weil es kaum zu sehen ist, ist ein niedliches kleines Häuschen auf der rechten Seite des Hügels, wenn man in Richtung Bucht sieht. Die Bescheidenheit des Häuschens täuscht aber, wohnte hier doch eine Zeit lang Pujie, der jüngere Bruder des letzten Kaisers von China und später der Mandschurei. Wenn man den Film Der letzte Kaiser von Bertolucci gesehen hat, ist kaum zu glauben, dass der Bruder des Kaisers Puyi, der in der Pracht der Verbotenen Stadt von Peking leb- te, in den dreißiger Jahren hier eine Weile sein Leben verbracht hat. In starkem Kont- rast zum weitläufigen Tian’anmen-Platz liegt das Häuschen in einer kleinen Gasse. Auf einem unscheinbaren Schild steht Aishinkakurafuketsukagū (愛新覚羅溥傑仮寓), also „Vorübergehende Residenz (kari no gū) von Aishinkakura Fuketsu (Pujie)“. Heute ist es ein Museum der Stadt Chiba. Mit der chinesischen Revolution von 1911 und der Gründung der chinesischen Repub- lik unter Sun Yat-sen hatte der letzte Kaiser Puyi als junger Mann noch eine erstaunli- che Laufbahn vor sich.

  • Inventing Chinese Buddhas: Identity, Authority, and Liberation in Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism
    Inventing Chinese Buddhas: Identity, Authority, and Liberation in Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism Kevin Buckelew 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 Kevin Buckelew All rights reserved Abstract Inventing Chinese Buddhas: Identity, Authority, and Liberation in Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism Kevin Buckelew This dissertation explores how Chan Buddhists made the unprecedented claim to a level of religious authority on par with the historical Buddha Śākyamuni and, in the process, invented what it means to be a buddha in China. This claim helped propel the Chan tradition to dominance of elite monastic Buddhism during the Song dynasty (960–1279), licensed an outpouring of Chan literature treated as equivalent to scripture, and changed the way Chinese Buddhists understood their own capacity for religious authority in relation to the historical Buddha and the Indian homeland of Buddhism. But the claim itself was fraught with complication. After all, according to canonical Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha was easily recognizable by the “marks of the great man” that adorned his body, while the same could not be said for Chan masters in the Song. What, then, distinguished Chan masters from everyone else? What authorized their elite status and granted them the authority of buddhas? According to what normative ideals did Chan aspirants pursue liberation, and by what standards did Chan masters evaluate their students to determine who was worthy of admission into an elite Chan lineage? How, in short, could one recognize a buddha in Song-dynasty China? The Chan tradition never answered this question once and for all; instead, the question broadly animated Chan rituals, institutional norms, literary practices, and visual cultures.

Centering around the activities and writings of Qi Rushan (1870-1962), who played a key role both in reshaping the modes of elite involvement in opera and in systematic knowledge production about opera, this dissertation explores this transformation from a transitional generation of theatrical connoisseurs and researchers in early twentieth-century China. It examines the many conditions and contexts in the making of opera—and especially Peking opera—as a discipline of modern humanistic research in China: the transnational emergence of Sinology, the vibrant urban entertainment market, the literary and material resources from the past, and the bodies and !ii identities of performers. This dissertation presents a critical chronology of the early history of drama study in modern China, beginning from the emerging terminology of genre to the theorization and the making of a formal academic discipline. Chapter One examines the genre-making of Peking Opera in three overlapping but not identical categories: temporal, geographical-political, and aesthetic.

Just over fifteen hundred kilometres from Tokyo, Changchun is not quite as far away as the Okinawan capital, Naha, but lies inland more than six hundred kilometres north of Dalian and Seoul and five hundred kilometres west of Vladivostok. Cooler and drier than Japan, its continental climate compounds its remoteness by making it, for Japanese, a different kind of place. Changchun, moreover, has rarely graced international headlines in recent years, given Jilin’s economic development’s lagging behind the coastal provinces, though the city did host the 2007 Asian Winter Games. In the twentieth century’s first half, however, Changchun figured prominently. The Russo-Japanese War resulted in its becoming the boundary between the Russian and Japanese spheres of influence in northeast China and a transfer point for travel between Europe and Asia. The terminus of the broad-gauge Russian railroad track required a physical transfer to different trains, and, before 1917, a twenty-three- minute difference between Harbin and Dalian time zones required travellers to reset their watches.1 Following Japan’s seizure of Manchuria, Changchun, renamed Xinjing, became the capital of the puppet state of Manchukuo, rec- ognized by the Axis powers and a partner in Japan’s Greater East Asia Co- Prosperity Sphere.
