  • The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People's Republic of China
    The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People’s Republic of China, 1949-2009 by Emily Elissa Wilcox A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the University of California, San Francisco in Medical Anthropology of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Xin Liu, Chair Professor Vincanne Adams Professor Alexei Yurchak Professor Michael Nylan Professor Shannon Jackson Spring 2011 Abstract The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People’s Republic of China, 1949-2009 by Emily Elissa Wilcox Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the University of California, San Francisco in Medical Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Xin Liu, Chair Under state socialism in the People’s Republic of China, dancers’ bodies became important sites for the ongoing negotiation of two paradoxes at the heart of the socialist project, both in China and globally. The first is the valorization of physical labor as a path to positive social reform and personal enlightenment. The second is a dialectical approach to epistemology, in which world-knowing is connected to world-making. In both cases, dancers in China found themselves, their bodies, and their work at the center of conflicting ideals, often in which the state upheld, through its policies and standards, what seemed to be conflicting points of view and directions of action. Since they occupy the unusual position of being cultural workers who labor with their bodies, dancers were successively the heroes and the victims in an ever unresolved national debate over the value of mental versus physical labor.

  • JIAO, WEI, D.M.A. Chinese and Western Elements in Contemporary
    JIAO, WEI, D.M.A. Chinese and Western Elements in Contemporary Chinese Composer Zhou Long’s Works for Solo Piano Mongolian Folk-Tune Variations, Wu Kui, and Pianogongs. (2014) Directed by Dr. Andrew Willis. 136 pp. Zhou Long is a Chinese American composer who strives to combine traditional Chinese musical techniques with modern Western compositional ideas. His three piano pieces, Mongolian Folk Tune Variations, Wu Kui, and Pianogongs each display his synthesis of Eastern and Western techniques. A brief cultural, social and political review of China throughout Zhou Long’s upbringing will provide readers with a historical perspective on the influence of Chinese culture on his works. Study of Mongolian Folk Tune Variations will reveal the composers early attempts at Western structure and harmonic ideas. Wu Kui provides evidence of the composer’s desire to integrate Chinese cultural ideas with modern and dissonant harmony. Finally, the analysis of Pianogongs will provide historical context to the use of traditional Chinese percussion instruments and his integration of these instruments with the piano. Zhou Long comes from an important generation of Chinese composers including, Chen Yi and Tan Dun, that were able to leave China achieve great success with the combination of Eastern and Western ideas. This study will deepen the readers’ understanding of the Chinese cultural influences in Zhou Long’s piano compositions.

The aria style of each genre is mainly affected by the local region, and of course, along with other aspects, which lead to the variety of the opera styles. Tones-creating is the key to the development of contemporary operas. With the appearance of the computer technology, the visualization of Jiangsu opera can be realized through the digital techniques combined with the unique characteristic of the tones-creating itself. In this paper, wavelet analysis and neural network are used to achieve the visualization of the tones-creating, which provides a certain reference for the opera practice. Keywords: Jiangsu opera, tones-creating, visual spectrum, wavelet neural network Introduction Under the global appealing of the “intangible cultural heritage protection”, the academic community paid much more attention to the research of traditional music in China. Jiangsu opera, the treasure of the traditional Chinese music, should be inherited and developed. Shi illustrated that the future direction for research is to follow the unique law of opera singing development and to absorb the rich artistic experience which accumulated during its formation and development.

Chinese Soft Power Promotion in the United State: 2005-2014. This thesis focuses on two research questions regarding the impact of economic crises on states’ soft power strategies. Specifically, can economic crises lead states to abandon generating soft power within countries affected by the resulting economic changes? And, does a shift away from soft power promotion policies represent a change in a state’s foreign policy strategy? To answer these questions, this thesis utilizes a case study focusing on the People’s Republic of China (PRC) from 2005 to January 1, 2015, investigating soft power generating efforts by China in the United States before and after the 2007 Financial Crisis.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the ancient times without modern media, the visual communication mode of opera art mainly depends on fine arts. The forms and types of opera performance almost involve all kinds of fine art. From the perspective of ancient sculpture, New Year wood-block painting, ancient murals and other folk arts, combined with practical courses, this paper shows how the painting major of New Media Arts Department of National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts excavates formative arts language from folk art and traces back the traditional folk art form of opera art, and explores the new development of opera painting modeling language, which will combine the concept of inheriting and spreading opera art and extensive fine arts to embody the painting concept of inheriting culture and modeling.

  • Cultural Performance in China
    CULTURAL PERFORMANCE IN CHINA: BEYOND RESISTANCE IN THE 1990s DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jonathan Scott Noble, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Professor Xiaomei Chen, Adviser Approved by Professor Kirk Denton Professor Pat Sieber Adviser East Asian Languages and Literatures Professor Mark Bender Graduate Program ABSTRACT CULTURAL PERFORMANCE IN CHINA: BEYOND RESISTANCE IN THE 1990s adopts a multi-disciplinary and critical approach in engaging issues of cultural performance, global/local cultural subjectivities, and transnationalism within and between different media, including film, television, drama, fiction, and folk dance in China during the late 1990s. Theories of globalization and transnationalism, key to the dissertation’s theoretical framework, are in part developed from the works of Arjun Appadurai, Homi Bhabha, Rob Wilson, and Wimal Dissanayake. Theories of performativity and performance, adapted from a range of scholars (including Victor Turner, Richard Schechner, and Judith Butler), show how performance is an apt metaphor for cultural production in the 1990s as cultural bipolarities (e.g., local/global; official/anti-official; socialism/capitalism) are obscured by cultural hybridity. The introduction, through a discussion of Li Yang’s feature film Blind Shaft, details my rationale and goals for applying performance theory to cultural production in China. Chapter 2 “Staged Ethnography in Guo Shixing’s Birdman and Bad Talk Street” discusses how Guo’s staging of ethnographic practices and cultural (re)presentation reveals the hybridity inscribed within a post-colonial discursive practice. Chapter 3 “The Re-cycling of Yang’ge by Senior Citizen Street Performers” illustrates how an urbanized folk dance ii performance provides the opportunity for individuals in a social sub-group to assert their subjectivities in a process involving imagined and real individual and social transformation.
