    Blood, Sweat and Tears. The Martyred Body in Chinese Performance Art Tania Becker When we speak of offending images in the context of contemporary Chinese art, some of us may remember articles that were published in , voices of outrage in reaction to Zhu Yu’s performance Eating People: Is it art when a man eats a dead baby? london — My God, what kind of society do we live in? A Chinese man eats a dead baby on TV and actually claims it’s art! The announcement alone unleashed one of Great Britain’s hottest debates on the freedom of the media, the press, and art: the British tv Channel wanted to broad- cast the documentary Beijing Swings, which includes photographs of Chinese artist Zhu Yu apparently eating a dead baby. According to Zhu, the corpse is from a miscarriage. In one of the photographs, he’s washing the body in a sink. Another photo shows him biting into a dismembered body part. Zhu has said that the pictures were taken during a perfor- mance titled »Eating Humans« in his house in Beijing. Yesterday, Zhu Yu claimed that as an artist, it’s his job to initiate debates over morality and art. His work involves exploring whether boundaries still exist. It does not, however, seem to bother anyone when this »artist« transgress- es these boundaries. Not even the guardians of the law — because de- spite the fact that artists using human body parts for their art can be sentenced to ten years in prison, nothing happened [...].

Poehner Professor of Education and Applied Linguistics Robert Schrauf Professor of Applied Linguistics Department Head iii ABSTRACT The dissertation examines South Korean entry-level white-collar jobseekers’ negotiation of neoliberal employment requirements, reasons for studying English, and use of tools and resources for English learning. Although previous studies have problematized neoliberalism and English in South Korea (J. S.-Y. Park, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2018; J. S.-Y. Park & Wee, 2015; Piller & J. Cho, 2013), relatively few studies have considered how Korean jobseekers who have to develop English skills to enhance their competitiveness in the job market negotiate the demands of neoliberalism. There is even less research on how to provide appropriate educational support for them. To this end, I designed and implemented an eight-week exploratory program that aimed at developing jobseekers’ English skills using their own tools and resources based on an ecological perspective (van Lier, 2000, 2004). The study addressed the following research questions: 1. How do the Korean jobseekers interpret and negotiate the neoliberal norms of employability in the job market? 2.

  • A SMALL MAP PIECE of PERFORMANCE ART in CHINA a Study Room Guide by Adele Tan June 2008
    A SMALL MAP PIECE OF PERFORMANCE ART IN CHINA A study room guide by Adele Tan June 2008 Let me begin with a fruit. The fruit in this instance is Grapefruit, Yoko Ono´s visionary 1964 book of art- making instructions for everyone. The Chinese word for fruit is guo (果)and like the English word it too means the result or reward of work or activity such as in the word jie guo ( 结果 ). So how does one begin to look at performance art in China in the selection of material available in the Live Art Development Agency library and make it a productive (fruitful) endeavour without taking the exploratory fun out of it? The history of performance art in China is still in the making and so we might do well not to make it too conclusive. With this in mind, we could perhaps play a version of Yoko Ono’s Map Piece from the summer of 1962… Draw an imaginary map. ●Carla Kirkwood, Chinese Performance Artists - Redrawing the Map of Chinese Culture, 2004, A0119 / P0519 ●Li Wei, Li Wei, 2005, P0191 ●Li Wei, Performance Video Works 2001–2004, D0113 ● Zhu Ming, 1994-2006 Art Works, 2007, P089 ●Zhu Ming, Performance Art Works, 1994-2004, 2004, D0265 ●Zhu Ming, Resume, Articles and Major Works – pictures, D0103 ●Zhu Ming, Unknown Area, July 2003, D0104 Kirkwood’s essay in TheatreForum provides an easy entry point into the performance art scene in China since its initial flourish in the late 1980s. She gives a concise history of its development over the past two decades but makes clear to us that from the get-go, performance art is to be taken in China as socio- politically engaged, critically antagonistic and at the forefront of experimental contemporary Chinese art by virtue of a habitual mode of operating in the margins.

  • The Current Situation of Youth Cultural
    2018 3rd International Conference on Society Science and Economics Development (ICSSED 2018) ISBN: 978-1-60595-031-0 The Current Situation of Youth Cultural Exchange between China and Japan from the Perspective of Japanese Catchwords Fang Zhao Arts and Information Engineering College of Dalian Polytechnic University, Zip Code: 116103 Key words: Japanese catchwords; youth cultural exchange between China and Japan; current situation Abstract: The catchwords are written in Japanese as 「流行語」, and refer to a phrase that is frequently used in a certain period of time. Whether in Japan or in China, the existence of catchwords is not long, but reflects the social life of a certain period of time. The cultural exchanges between China and Japan are becoming more and more frequent, and Chinese catchwords have entered into Japan, which has played an important role in promoting the youth cultural exchange between China and Japan. 1. Introduction Japan's "Excessive Wording" magazine introduced the top ten Chinese catchwords in 2013, mainly include "Chinese dream", "clear your plate", "Tuhao", "weirdo", "forced", "counterattack", "tough girl", "MicroBlog", "thumb up" and "big V", While introducing these popular words, they also spread a large number of Chinese culture, especially in explaining the cultural connotation of "Chinese dream", it gives a more detailed description of China's historical culture and contemporary national conditions. In addition, the catchwords used in China in recent years "kawaii", "cutee adorable", "indoors woman" also come from Japan. Therefore, the Chinese and Japanese catchwords have promoted the youth cultural exchange between China and Japan to some extent, stimulated the interest of Chinese youth in learning Japanese, and promoted cultural innovation.

  • British Journal of Chinese Studies, Vol. 9 (2), July 2019 ISSN 2048-0601 © British Association for Chinese Studies
    British Journal of Chinese Studies, Vol. 9 (2), July 2019 ISSN 2048-0601 © British Association for Chinese Studies Bad Citizens and Symbolic Subjects: Wang Jin, Zhou Tiehai, and the Art of (In)Civility Ros Holmes The University of Manchester Abstract This article illuminates the relationship between contemporary art and visual representations of civility in postsocialist China. Focusing on a close visual analysis of two works of art: Wang Jin’s Ice-96 Central Plain (1996) and Zhou Tiehai’s Fake Cover (1996), it examines how artists sought to reject the binary terms with which civility is commonly constructed: between model and shameful forms of deportment, good and bad, spiritual and material, civil and uncivil. Directly challenging the social and political role of civility as it is shaped, imagined and “imaged” in China, it explores how civility plays a pivotal role in making and unmaking citizens and argues that these artists offer a redefinition of civility not as a “discourse of lack” but as a surplus quality, an embodied excess, something which could be performed, parodied or publicly cast off. It therefore stands as an argument for considering the vexed and contested parameters of civility as artists sought to navigate the fraught terrain between ideology and market reforms, consumer citizenship and the exigencies of globalisation. Keywords: China, contemporary art, civility, citizenship, globalisation, public conduct, visibility. On January 28, 1996, a crowd began to gather at the heart of Erqi Square in downtown Zhengzhou. Braving sub-zero temperatures, they arrived cocooned in hats and scarves, down jackets and padded coats. The mood was one of jubilant expectation, heightened by the promise of a commercial spectacle whose much anticipated unveiling had been insistently announced in a flurry of flyers and promotional banners, monopolising the city’s billboards and airwaves, its television screens and newspaper columns in the preceding weeks.

Music Performance – Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University B. Creative Industries (2A Hons) – Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2013 Abstract ABSTRACT As a performance artist, I have experienced a strong synergy connecting performance artists, the work they make, the network they create and inhabit, and the trust that binds them together. I wanted to discover how that network operated. Therefore, this doctoral research project focuses on the question, “What is the operation of the global performance art network? ” Network theory forms the overarching theoretical framework, with the additional concepts of trust, community, social capital, and performance art playing a key part in the analysis. With no known research into the global performance art network to date, the research will contribute to theory development and practical perspectives in relation to performance art. In addressing the research question, I acknowledge my personal ontology and self-interest in the subject matter. This duality of researcher / participant has allowed for a conscious ethnographic approach to this research. I have adopted a pragmatist paradigm in approaching this research question, which encourages a mixed methods strategy, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods, allowing for triangulation of data.

  • Major Trends in the Development of Contemporary Chinese Art
    MAJOR TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ART Li Xianting The art concepts utilised in this discussion are largely derived from the aesthetic and conceptual language of 20th century Western Modernism. This is an acknowledgement of the fact that the language of Modernism has become the international language of art. To a large degree, this reality has dictated the development of modern Chinese art. Yet there is another vitally important phenomenon that has shaped the development of Chinese art in the 20th century, and which explains the qualities of Chinese contemporary art which are different from Western art. Since the end of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), when China's doors were "blown" wide open by the West, China has undergone three major cultural and aesthetic transitions marked by a rejection of an established cultural and aesthetic system and the adoption of a new one, always based on a modern Western system. In the course of this process of adoption and adaptation, the Western system underwent various levels of transformation, so that in the end there has been, enacted on Chinese soil, a cultural dialectic between China and the West marked by a pattern of mutual influence and change. It is the phenomenon of these transitions and the cultural dialectic that they have engendered which sets the evolution of China's contemporary art apart from that of the West. The first of these transitional periods began in the early part of this century, when the May Fourth movement [launched in 1919] raised the flag of anti-feudalist revolt and advocated the use of modern Western cultural ideas as a means of building a new culture for China.

How do individuals learn from their social networks to cope with these acculturation stresses? The eight participants in this study represent two generations of Chinese international students. Four of the participants were born in the 1950s, 五零后, and studied in the United States after the China economic reform policy was implemented in 1978. The other four participants were born in the 1990s, 九零后, and studied in the United States during the peak period of globalization and international education in China. Situated learning is used to analyze and understand the path from the stressors students encounter to the final coping strategies the students deploy.
