Judge Dee (Judge Di) is based on the historical magistrate and statesman Ti Jen-chieh, (630-700) of the T'ang Dynasty (618-907). While he worked as a diplomat in Japan and China before and during World War II, van Gulik became interested in the long tradition of Chinese detective and crime literature, a literature of which most Westerners were almost completely unaware. Aer the war, van Gulik tried to inspire Chinese and Japanese writers to begin writing traditional stories rather than merely imitating or translating Western detective stories.

  • The Political Aspect of Misogynies in Late Qing Dynasty Crime Fiction
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, April 2016, Vol. 6, No. 4, 340-355 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2016.04.002 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Political Aspect of Misogynies in Late Qing Dynasty Crime Fiction Lavinia Benedetti University of Catania, Catania, Italy In most Chinese traditional court-case narrative, women often serve as negative social actors, and may even be the alleged cause of the degeneration of men’s morality as the result of their seductiveness. In the late Qing Dynasty novel Digong’an, centred on the upright official Digong, there is strong evidence of misogyny by the author. Two female characters stand out from the story: one kills her husband with the help of her lover, who is partially justified by the latter being under the woman’s negative influence; and the other is Empress Wu, to whom the moral downfall of the Tang Dynasty is attributed. Both women are subject to insult and threat throughout the novel. The author’s attitude substantially relies on the sexist rhetoric prevalent in the Confucian idea of an ordered society, which usually took a negative outlook towards women partaking in public life. But for the latter we should also take in account that at the end of the Qing Dynasty a woman was, in reality, ruling the empire “from behind the curtain”. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to deconstruct the author’s misogyny, in order to shed a light on his criticism and connect it with a somewhat more political discourse. Keywords: Chinese courtcase novel, Digong’an, political criticism, Empress Cixi Introduction Crime and punishment are much appreciated themes in Chinese narrative production since its very beginning.

  • Robert Van Gulik's Judge Dee Detective Stories
    Transcending Cultural Boundaries: Robert van Gulik’s Judge Dee Detective Stories Sabrina Yuan Hao Guangdong University of Foreign Studies The debate over “high” and “low” culture from the 1970s onward has led to the 551 expansion of the Western literary canon, allowing detective fiction to establish itself as not only a form of popular literature, but a distinctive literary genre. “Beginning as an expression of conservative, bourgeois, ethnocentric Anglo-American values” (Cawelti 9), detective fiction at the same time exhibits the potential to subvert Anglo- American ethnocentricity and accommodate and respond to diverse cultures and ideologies. This possibility has inspired many works within this genre that represent non-Anglo-American cultures and peoples. Such texts are normally set in non-West- ern locales and feature investigators working within their native cultures, although the reliance of detective fiction on foreign and exotic settings dates back to early examples of the genre. Edgar Allan Poe, one of the first major authors of detective fiction, chose Paris as the setting for his ratiocinative stories and C. Auguste Dupin, a Frenchman, as his detective hero. Agatha Christie also used foreign countries and characters in several of her detective novels; for example, Death Comes as the End and Death on the Nile involve Egypt, both ancient and modern, while Murder in Mesopotamia takes place in Hassanieh, Iraq. British author H.R.F. Keating created Ghote, Inspector of the Bombay police, even though he did not visit India until after he had already written nine Ghote novels. Unlike Keating, English author Arthur Upfield drew on his experience in the Australian outback to create his protagonist, Bony, an Indigenous Australian.

  • Robert Hans Van Gulik's Judge Dee Stories in Memory Culture
    Intersections of Detective Fiction and Memory: Robert Hans van Gulik’s Judge Dee Stories in Memory Culture Siqi Zhu (5110742) Literature Today A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Dr Mia You Second Reader: Dr Paul Bijl Utrecht, July 2021 Zhu 1 Abstract Inspired by an emerging interest in the intersections between literature and cultural memory and literature’s own memory, this thesis tries to shed light on some of ways in which detective fiction and memory meets through a close reading and analysis of Robert Hans van Gulik’s Judge Dee mysteries which present the return of elements from precursor texts and the combination of typical conventions of the genres of the Chinese gong’an stories and Western detective fiction. Building on the notion of “memory of literature” summarized and conceptualized by Erll and Nünning and Lachmann’s post-structural theory of intertextuality, this thesis attempts to show that Van Gulik’s Judge Dee detective series construct their own memories and participate in the inner-literary memory discourses by remembering several earlier (literary or non-literary) texts and echoing and adapting traditions of both the old Chinese and Western detective story. The intertextual reference and transformation of elements from pre-existent texts and detective-story conventions allow the Judge Dee stories to sketch out a memory space made up of texts, to produce a new paradigm that blends the Chinese gong’an formula with the Western crime-writing traditions, and to create an entirely new set of expectations for detective fiction.

  • Film and the Chinese Medical Humanities
    Film and the Chinese Medical Humanities “This collection of film studies brings together the creative work of China’s most talented filmmakers as they reflect on contemporary social problems, work out in narratives and images an original analysis of what’s wrong with us (as individuals, as a society, and in cultural settings), and as they propose paths to redemption.” – Judith Farquhar, Max Palevsky Professor Emerita, Department of Anthropology, University of Chicago Film and the Chinese Medical Humanities is the first book to reflect on the power of film in representing medical and health discourse in China in both the past and the present, as well as in shaping its future. Drawing on both feature and documentary films from mainland China, the chapters each engage with the field of medicine through the visual arts. They cover themes such as the history of doctors and their concepts of disease and therapies, understanding the patient experience of illness and death, and establishing empathy and compassion in medical practice, as well as the HIV/AIDs epidemic during the 1980s and 1990s and changing attitudes towards disability. Inherently interdisciplinary in nature, the contributors therefore provide different perspectives from the fields of history, psychiatry, film studies, anthropology, linguistics, public health and occupational therapy as they relate to China and people who identify as Chinese. Their combined approaches are united by a passion for improving the cross-cultural understanding of the body and ultimately healthcare itself. A key resource for educators in the Medical Humanities, this book will be useful to students and scholars of Chinese Studies and Film Studies as well as global health, medical anthropology and medical history.
