Date Assoc. Professor Sim Wai Chew Acknowledgements It has been quite a journey to complete this dissertation, for which I have too many individuals to be thankful. My first and foremost gratitude goes to my main supervisor Professor Sim Wai Chew who has been instrumental in giving me guidance and inspiration during the trying process of writing my thesis. He is always open to hearing my ideas, even when those ideas are preliminary and superficial. At the same time, he is equally strict, always urging me to push my arguments further and really get to the bottom of my research question. I have learned so much from his approach to academic inquiries, not only knowledge in my field of studies but also his meticulous attention to the technical aspects of writing of this dissertation. For this, I shall always remain deeply grateful. My heartfelt thanks are equally extended to my co-supervisor, Professor Uganda Kwan Sze Pui, who has given me tireless support and timely feedback during each stage of my writing process. The rigor that she has demonstrated sets a great example of what an academic should be like in any field of studies. Her kindness has also been a ray of light in the darker days of my intellectual stupor. More importantly, she has generously shared with me valuable resources and information that will benefit me in the long haul as a scholar. For this, I will always remember by heart. The submission of my dissertation could not have been possible without the support of the two of my Thesis Advisory Committee members, Professor Jini Kim Watson and Professor Jane Yeang Chui Wong. I am deeply appreciative of Professor Watson’s kind remarks and constructive criticism along the process of the completion of my thesis draft. Similarly, I am greatly affected by Professor Wong’s exuberant spirit and encouraging words whenever we meet. But my indebtedness to her also includes her gracious agreeing to hire me as her research i assistant. Not only has that experience taught me a great deal about academic writing from a different perspective, but also it introduced me into the world of academic publishing. I am certain that my knowledge gained from this experience will be of value in the years to come. In addition to these two, my former co-supervisor Professor Lee Hyunjung also had a positive influence on how I form the main argument of my thesis. I am greatly appreciative of her support as well. My journey as a PhD candidate would not be the same without the guidance of my graduate course instructors along the way. To Professor C. J. Wee Wan-Ling, thank you for introducing me to the discipline of cultural studies. It has been wonderful to take your course and listen to your insightful comments on our current cultures. To Professor Shirley Chew, thank you for ushering me into the world of postcolonial studies. It is simply a privilege to hear your lectures, for the clarity, energy and erudition you displayed in the classroom are everything of a teacher that I aspire to become. To Professor Winnie Yee from the Department of Comparative Literature at University of Hong Kong, thank you for graciously accepting my request to conduct my research in Hong Kong for six months. It has been an eye-opening experience to share my research ideas with, as well as receive feedback from, the faculty members and graduate students in the department. Last but never least, my deepest love and appreciation goes to my dear parents. Thank you for teaching me the meaning of unconditional love and support. You will always remain the most important people in my life. To all my great friends, Xiao Ling, He Fan, Candice and many other magnificent human beings that I have met in many places along the way, thank you for keeping me grounded, for lending me a helping hand whenever I feel overwhelmed by my emotions, and for the friendship that I know will last for a lifetime. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................................... i Summary ................................................................................................................................................... iv Notes on Transliteration ........................................................................................................................ vi Introduction ............................................................................................................................................... 1 1.

The marginal place that literature occupies subsequently inspires writers to approach Hong Kong’s colonial formation in an alternative light, one that can be understood as an act of decolonization of Hong Kong’s culture. This dissertation therefore argues for a conceptualization of Sinophonicity that depicts the formation of the local Hong Kong subject as constructed in literary fiction, in order to articulate how Hong Kong literature produces decolonizing discourse and pressures. Deriving from the discourse of Sinophone studies, the term “Sinophonicity” differentiates from the monological signifier “Chineseness” by

  • Rebuilding the Ancestral Temple and Hosting Daluo Heaven and Earth Prayer and Enlightenment Ceremony
    Cultural and Religious Studies, July 2020, Vol. 8, No. 7, 386-402 doi: 10.17265/2328-2177/2020.07.002 D DAVID PUBLISHING Rebuilding the Ancestral Temple and Hosting Daluo Heaven and Earth Prayer and Enlightenment Ceremony Wu Hui-Chiao Ming Chuan University, Taiwan Kuo, Yeh-Tzu founded Taiwan’s Sung Shan Tsu Huei Temple in 1970. She organized more than 200 worshipers as a group named “Taiwan Tsu Huei Temple Queen Mother of the West Delegation to China to Worship at the Ancestral Temples” in 1990. At that time, the temple building of the Queen Mother Palace in Huishan of Gansu Province was in disrepair, and Temple Master Kuo, Yeh-Tzu made a vow to rebuild it. Rebuilding the ancestral temple began in 1992 and was completed in 1994. It was the first case of a Taiwan temple financing the rebuilding of a far-away Queen Mother Palace with its own donations. In addition, Sung Shan Tsu Huei Temple celebrated its 45th anniversary and hosted Yiwei Yuanheng Lizhen Daluo Tiandi Qingjiao (Momentous and Fortuitous Heaven and Earth Prayer Ceremony) in 2015. This is the most important and the grandest blessing ceremony of Taoism, a rare event for Taoism locally and abroad during this century. Those sacred rituals were replete with unprecedented grand wishes to propagate the belief in Queen Mother of the West. Stopping at nothing, Queen Mother’s love never ceases. Keywords: Sung Shan Tsu Huei Temple, Temple Master Kuo, Yeh-Tzu, Golden Mother of the Jade Pond, Daluo Tiandi Qingjiao (Daluo Heaven and Earth Prayer Ceremony) Introduction The main god, Golden Mother of the Jade Pond (Golden Mother), enshrined in Sung Shan Tsu Huei Temple, is the same as the Queen Mother of the West, the highest goddess of Taoism.

  • 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.

  • The Literary Field of Twentieth-Century China Chinese Worlds
    The Literary Field of Twentieth-Century China Chinese Worlds Chinese Worlds publishes high-quality scholarship, research monographs, and source collections on Chinese history and society from 1900 into the next century. "Worlds" signals the ethnic, cultural, and political multiformity and regional diversity of China, the cycles of unity and division through which China's modern history has passed, and recent research trends toward regional studies and local issues. It also signals that Chineseness is not contained within territorial borders - overseas Chinese communities in all countries and regions are also "Chinese worlds". The editors see them as part of a political, economic, social, and cultural continuum that spans the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, South-East Asia, and the world. The focus of Chinese Worlds is on modern politics and society and history. It includes both history in its broader sweep and specialist monographs on Chinese politics, anthropology, political economy, sociology, education, and the social-science aspects of culture and religions.
