  • Warriors As the Feminised Other
    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

  • Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films
    Travelling Films: Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films Goldsmiths College University of London PhD thesis (Cultural Studies) Ji Yeon Lee Abstract This thesis analyses western criticism, labelling practices and the politics of European international film festivals. In particular, this thesis focuses on the impact of western criticism on East Asian films as they attempt to travel to the west and when they travel back to their home countries. This thesis draws on the critical arguments by Edward Said's Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient (1978) and self-Orientalism, as articulated by Rey Chow, which is developed upon Mary Louise Pratt's conceptual tools such as 'contact zone' and 'autoethnography'. This thesis deals with three East Asian directors: Kitano Takeshi (Japanese director), Zhang Yimou (Chinese director) and 1m Kwon-Taek (Korean director). Dealing with Japanese, Chinese and Korean cinema is designed to show different historical and cultural configurations in which each cinema draws western attention. This thesis also illuminates different ways each cinema is appropriated and articulated in the west. This thesis scrutinises how three directors from the region have responded to this Orientalist discourse and investigates the unequal power relationship that controls the international circulation of films. Each director's response largely depends on the particular national and historical contexts of each country and each national cinema. The processes that characterise films' travelling are interrelated: the western conception of Japanese, Chinese or Korean cinema draws upon western Orientalism, but is at the same time corroborated by directors' responses. Through self-Orientalism, these directors, as 'Orientals', participate in forming and confirming the premises of western Orientalism.

  • Perspectives in Flux
    Perspectives in Flux Red Sorghum and Ju Dou's Reception as a Reflection of the Times Paisley Singh Professor Smith 2/28/2013 East Asian Studies Thesis Seminar Singh 1 Abstract With historical and critical approach, this thesis examined how the general Chinese reception of director Zhang Yimou’s Red Sorghum and Ju Dou is reflective of the social conditions at the time of these films’ release. Both films hold very similar diegeses and as such, each generated similar forms of filmic interpretation within the academic world. Film scholars such as Rey Chow and Sheldon Lu have critiqued these films as especially critical of female marginalization and the Oedipus complex present within Chinese society. Additionally, the national allegorical framing of both films, a common pattern within Chinese literary and filmic traditions, has thoroughly been explored within the Chinese film discipline. Furthermore, both films have been subjected to accusations of Self-Orientalization and Occidentalism. The similarity between both films is undeniable and therefore comparable in reference to the social conditions present in China and the changing structures within the Chinese film industry during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Although Red Sorghum and Ju Dou are analogous, each received almost opposite reception from the general Chinese public. China's social and economic reform, film censorship, as well as the government’s intervention and regulation of the Chinese film industry had a heavy impact upon each film’s reception. Equally important is the incidence of specific events such as the implementation of the Open Door policy in the 1980s and 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre.

  • Cinematic Reconstruction of Historical Trauma in Twenty-First Century China
    Does Time Heal?: Cinematic Reconstruction of Historical Trauma in Twenty-first Century China By Shiya Zhang B.A., Jilin University, 2004 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Pacific and Asian Studies ©Shiya Zhang, 2018 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Does Time Heal?: Cinematic Reconstruction of Historical Trauma in Twenty-first Century China By Shiya Zhang Bachelor of Arts., Jilin University, 2004 Supervisory Committee Dr. Richard King, Supervisor (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) Dr. Katsuhiko Endo, Departmental Member (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) iii Supervisory Committee Dr. Richard King, Supervisor (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) Dr. Katsuhiko Endo, Departmental Member (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) Abstract While the whole world is talking about China’s rise in wealth and power, most focus has been placed on understanding China’s present policies and future orientations. However, very little attention is devoted to examining how historical consciousness affects present China. People take for granted that the past—particularly the landmark traumas of the communist decades— is a far-reaching historical discontinuity, and that China’s profound changes in every aspect of society have rendered the past increasingly irrelevant. However, this thesis argues that this assumption is wrong. This thesis explores the ways that Chinese filmmakers rearticulate the historical traumas which continue to affect Chinese society in the post-WTO era.

However, it was the 25th of November 2020, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against women, and our teacher decided to focus on something which is not included in our school programme. By exchanging our opinions, we understood that our knowledge about the issue was not deep at all, no matter how many newspapers we read or news we watch. That pushed us to start this journey through all the aspects of violence against women. We did it by dividing us into groups and doing several types of research on many different websites and books (you can find our sources on page 46). We discovered that this problem is much wider than what we expected; it has influenced our world in endless ways, affecting all the fields of knowledge, such as art, cinema and music. We ended up reading hundreds of stories that touched us very deeply; that’s how we decided to give life to these pages.

  • Teaching Chinese Film in an Advanced Language Class
    30 Guest-Edited Section—Teaching About Asia Teaching Chinese Film in an Advanced Language Class Luying Chen St. Olaf College Instructors often face a dilemma when using film in language classes. While film is appealing for the rich cultural and linguistic information it offers, finding the balance between teaching content and building language skills can present significant challenges for an instructor. Common approaches to using film in courses taught in English, such as screening one film a week, reading critical essays about the films, and class discussions and lectures, seldom offer the same benefits in a foreign language course due to the fact that students with only three years of foreign language study frequently lack the language skills necessary to discuss films in a foreign language. Yanfang Tang and Qianghai Chen, authors of the textbook Advanced Chinese: Intention, Strategy, & Communication (2005), have argued that “[n]either interpreting textual meanings nor decoding linguistic patterns leads naturally to the productive skills needed” for communicating in the target language at the advanced level.1 They further suggest that “practice, in a conscious but meaningful way is the key to successful transformation of input knowledge into productive output skills.”2 When we use films in language classes, the focus is for students to understand the textual meanings and linguistic patterns within the film, but training productive output skills in students, while fostering cultural proficiency and developing critical thinking skills, can prove to be somewhat difficult to accomplish within normal classroom time constraints. Recently published textbooks, including Readings in Contemporary Chinese Cinema (Chou, 2008, hereafter Readings)3 and Discussing Everything Chinese (Li-li Teng Foti, et al., 2007, hereafter Discussing)4, have recognized this challenge and ASIANetwork Exchange Teaching Chinese Film in an Advanced Language Class 31 experimented with different approaches to using Chinese film in advanced language classes.

  • Informal Socio-Educational Leadership and Its
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Education Policy Studies INFORMAL SOCIO-EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND ITS EXPRESSION THROUGH CHINESE CINEMA A Dissertation in Educational Leadership by Chenwei Ma © 2014 Chenwei Ma Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 ii The dissertation of Chenwei Ma was reviewed and approved* by the following: Roger C. Shouse Associate Professor of Education Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Jacqueline Stefkovich Professor of Education Jamie Myers Professor of Education Davin Carr-Chellman Assistant Professor of Education Kai Schafft Associate Professor of Education Head of the Program of Educational Leadership *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT The term “leadership” has been infused with different understandings by “Eastern” and “Western” culture. East Asian thinking generally links the idea of “leader” (lingdao) to rank or position, while Western scholarship tends to accept the idea that leaders may emerge and act within less formal contexts or structures. At the same time, much of East Asian history and literature, particularly that from China, highlights the non-formal contributions of individual citizens in pursuit of social goals and social change. In other words, “informal leaders” apparently exist within the Chinese social context, but without benefit of being labeled lingdao. Using contemporary Chinese popular films to illustrate the practice of informal leadership, this study seeks to derive and justify a definition of “leadership” that is robust with respect to differing “Eastern” and “Western” cultural understandings. Based on inductive context analysis of a sample of Chinese fictional, non-fictional, and documentary films highlighting issues of educational practice and policy, this study explores the extent to which these cinematic texts: (1) depict or suggest “Western” understandings of leadership and (2) serve as a discursive medium of social change.
