    Joints of Utility, Crafts of Knowledge: The Material Culture of the Sino-British Furniture Trade during the Long Eighteenth Century Kyoungjin Bae Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Kyoungjin Bae All rights reserved ABSTRACT Joints of Utility, Crafts of Knowledge: The Material Culture of the Sino-British Furniture Trade during the Long Eighteenth Century Kyoungjin Bae This dissertation examines the material culture of the Sino-British furniture trade in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the beginning of the eighteenth century, the British East India Company (EIC) began importing a large quantity of furniture made in Canton (Guangzhou), China. As the trade between Britain and China became standardized around 1720, this furniture became a part of the private trade carried out by merchants associated with Company. Unlike other objects of the China trade that fed into the vogue of chinoiserie, export furniture crafted with hardwoods from the Indian Ocean was produced in European designs of the time and thus was often indistinguishable from its Western counterparts. What cultural and economic values did export furniture represent in the early modern maritime trade and how did it reify the trans-regional movement of knowledge and taste between China and Britain? Going beyond the conventional perspective on export Chinese objects oriented toward European reception, I connect production with consumption in order to follow the trajectory of export furniture from its origins in the intra-Asian timber trade to its requisition and manufacture in Canton to its reception and use in both Britain and China, highlighting how this process linked the disparate spheres of commerce, knowledge production and distribution, and cultural practices.

  • Reconsidering East Asian Influence in Early Twentieth-Century European Music
    BEYOND ORIENTALISM: RECONSIDERING EAST ASIAN INFLUENCE IN EARLY TWENTIETH-CENTURY EUROPEAN MUSIC By DONG JIN SHIN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2020 © 2020 Dong Jin Shin To Leah ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There were many amazing people who made this dissertation possible. I owe debts of gratitude to my advisor, Silvio dos Santos, who had faith in me, had my back, and cheered me on until I crossed the finish line. Jennifer Thomas’ critical reading was invaluable in polishing this dissertation; I can’t say enough about how much she has cared for me with all her heart. Paul Richards kindly offered me an individual study for a semester and encouraged my humble ideas. When I first visited Ann Wehmeyer, she readily agreed to be on my committee and kindly helped with all the degree processes. Also, I would like to thank my musicology colleagues, especially Heather Bergseth, Michael Vincent, and Heidi Jensen, who showed their friendship and helped with my English. I appreciate the School of Music at the University of Florida, which has supported my research travels, presentations, and all the stages of this dissertation. It was a long and difficult journey for me to complete this dissertation due to considerable language and cultural barriers. Through the hardships, I learned valuable lessons that enabled me to grow into a better person. During my doctoral degree, I have tried not to neglect my duty as a mom and to become a good model to my daughter Leah, whose presence helped me to remain hopeful and become a stronger person.
