We’ve got some great coaches, all looking forward to mixing it up with new players and picking on all the oldies. Here’s our calendar: Practices @ Onslow College, Sundays 1:30 - 3:30, 30 April to 15 October Johnsonville EXCEPT July 23rd as we want a holiday! Central Zone Tournament #5 July 22 – Porirua Recreation Centre Dragons Annual Tournament October 7/8 – Porirua Recreation Centre For more information on Volleyball in 2000, please contact: Andrew Fok (Chairperson) 478-1708 (hm) 021-500-724 (mb) Tamara Parnay (Secretary) 476-5955 (hm) Latest Results Some of you may or not be aware that the Dragons name has become quite well known around the Wellington volleyball world, and this is due mostly to our enthusiasm and energy when we play. Although our part of the club is quite small, we are becoming a very competitive unit, and this was shown in Wanganui on Saturday 17th June, when the men’s team played during a Central Zone tournament. The story goes something like this: 6 players, 2 with the flu, and a support crew (thanks Dori & Megan) drove up on Friday night, racing against the clock to make sure we were able to watch the All Black romp over Tonga. An early start to the tournament, and a tough one, playing Wanganui (who were ranked above us). A good win, and a small 10minute breather before having to play Eagles, the number one seeds. A loss incurred, but not after some inspiring play, showing the hidden talents Dragons possess. Throughout the tournament, despite the inevitable fatigue, each of the 6 players continued to lift themselves and their level of play, and did the Club proud with some very gutsy performances against teams who were bigger, stronger and more experienced. The best performance was against Spikes, a Porirua club team who were seeded 2nd. We lost both sets, but not without a fight: 15-25, 21-25. Coming off a game like that, against a team who were seeded 6 places ahead of us was very encouraging. The players were: Geoff Wong (C), Manda Chin, Devlin Lee-Joe, Jeff Fowles, Derek Young, Andrew Fok. Technical advice was offered by Roger Chang. Thanks also to Dori Chin, Megan Lay, Tamara Parnay for all their help during warmups, encouragement and water bottle duties! Tamara also played during the weekend, for the Eagles womens team, which came 2nd to a strong NZIS team. (Superstar!) 5 Dragons Miniball Funday DATE: Sunday 9th July 2000 WHERE: Porirua Recreation and Aquatic Centre Parumoana Street, Porirua.

It will involve all Intermediates, Miniball and Tiniballers. ……………………..☺ Remember to keep this date free.

AUCKLAND 2000 EASTER TOURNAMENT What Happened: This years tourney was held in Auckland, and was on the whole a reasonably enjoyable one – even if not all of us can remember the chronology of events correctly! Wellington didn’t fare too well in the sports, making most of the finals yet being pipped at the posts by a dominant Auckland. One area we DID dominate in was the Indoor Netball, where we cleaned up, with both our teams having a chance to play in the finals. There were a few organisational issues that cropped up during the tournament, and these will be tabled at an NZCA meeting which will review the tournament’s organisation and performance. One of the major issues raised was the lack of social events organised for players under 18, who are now not legally able to enter bars. This will need to be kept in mind when Dragons organises it’s own social events. Other than those hiccups, it was a great opportunity for most of the local Chinese community groups to meet and play against each other, renew friendships and make new ones! AND, in case you didn’t know: Winners Men's Open Tennis - Brent Lee & David Thackeray Winners Women's Open Tennis - Anna Young & Pam Chin EASTER 2001 INFORMATION UPDATE! As some of you may be aware, there is an Easter Tournament held in South Africa, which is practically identical to our own. If anyone is interested in forming a sports contingent to travel there for a 10-day stay, and meeting some CHINESE South Africans (whoa, how weird is that?) please contact Roger Chang or Anthony Joe to register your interest.

  • Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance
    Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance Zheyu Wei A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of Creative Arts The University of Dublin, Trinity College 2017 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library Conditions of use and acknowledgement. ___________________ Zheyu Wei ii Summary This thesis is a study of Chinese experimental theatre from the year 1990 to the year 2014, to examine the involvement of Chinese theatre in the process of globalisation – the increasingly intensified relationship between places that are far away from one another but that are connected by the movement of flows on a global scale and the consciousness of the world as a whole. The central argument of this thesis is that Chinese post-Cold War experimental theatre has been greatly influenced by the trend of globalisation. This dissertation discusses the work of a number of representative figures in the “Little Theatre Movement” in mainland China since the 1980s, e.g. Lin Zhaohua, Meng Jinghui, Zhang Xian, etc., whose theatrical experiments have had a strong impact on the development of contemporary Chinese theatre, and inspired a younger generation of theatre practitioners. Through both close reading of literary and visual texts, and the inspection of secondary texts such as interviews and commentaries, an overview of performances mirroring the age-old Chinese culture’s struggle under the unprecedented modernising and globalising pressure in the post-Cold War period will be provided.

Vogel, Co-Chair Professor Robert A. Kagan Professor Amalia D. Kessler Professor Robert J. MacCoun Professor Laura Stoker Summer 2015 The Whore, the Hostess, and the Honey: Policing, Health, Business and the Regulation of Prostitution in China © 2015 by Margaret Leith Boittin Abstract The Whore, the Hostess, and the Honey: Policing, Health, Business and the Regulation of Prostitution in China by Margaret Leith Boittin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Kevin O’Brien, Co-Chair Professor Steven K. Vogel, Co-Chair Despite being illegal, prostitution is rampant in China today. Millions of women work in the sex industry, responding to high demand from the male population. Sex workers and clients span all social classes, from poor migrants to college students and elite officials. The phenomenon is ubiquitous throughout rural and urban areas. In acknowledging the disconnect between the legal status of prostitution and its prevalence, thoughtful experts on China generally assume that the state turns a blind eye to prostitution. They note the economic advantages of a vibrant sex industry, and underscore the extent to which individual officials and local agencies actually participate in the business of prostitution. These observers are correct to note the financial benefits of prostitution to the Chinese economy.

  • 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.

  • Nostalgia in Contemporary Chinese Cinema (1993-2008): a Reflection of China’S Socio-Cultural Postmodernity
    Nostalgia in Contemporary Chinese Cinema (1993-2008): A Reflection of China’s Socio-Cultural Postmodernity Shen Jiang A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Studies The University of Canterbury 2010 Abstract Since Deng Xiaoping‘s ―South Tour Speech‖ which he delivered during his inspection of special economic region in southern China in 1992, China‘s reforms and opening-up have entered a period of stable and rapid development. These undoubtedly are driving a comprehensive range of areas of social transition in Chinese society, including state affairs, social activities, mass culture, and globalization. All these factors may have a significant impact on the situation of Chinese film, but in the meantime, local cinema will inevitably present contemporary China and its social culture in a certain way. This thesis chooses a period of time from 1993 to 2008 and examines ―nostalgia‖, a unique area of contemporary Chinese cinema, as its basis for discussion. In the light of Western and postmodern cultural theories, this study aims to explore the current state of nostalgia film and its postmodern elements in China and to extend the discussion to social areas and cultural studies. The conclusion reached by the discussion includes two major aspects. First, through historical reconstruction and superficial pastiche, China‘s past (or its nostalgia) has inevitably presented certain distortions when facing the global mass cult and Chinese communist leitmotiv ideology. Second, contemporary China has reached the stage of a visually featured, postmodern consumer society. I Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisors, Dr.

  • Memory, Race, and Gender in Chinese and Japanese War Films
    博士論文(要約) Producing the Nation: Memory, Race, and Gender in Chinese and Japanese War Films （国家の制作： 中国と日本の戦争映画における記憶・民族・ジェンダー） WEISS Amanda ワイス アマンダ ABRIDGED VERSION 論文の内容の要旨 論文題目：Producing the Nation: Memory, Race, and Gender in Chinese and Japanese War Films (国家の制作：中国と日本の戦争映画における記憶・民族・ジェンダー) 氏名: WEISS Amanda Taking the apparent “tidal wave” of memory in the late 20th and early 21st century as its starting point, this dissertation explores remembering in a specific context, World War II in East Asia (1937-1945), and through a specific mode, film. Chapter One introduces the main historical events and themes of the East Asian history debate, situating the conflict within larger global memory trends. Defining memory as the collective narrating of the past, it argues that whereas memory in the past was based on oral traditions, rites, and rituals, now it is institutionalized in “sites of memory.” Remembrance is systematically placed into a vessel such as a public library, monument, art installation, or movie, “markers” we manufacture to attempt to firmly imprint our impression of the past onto the present. The chapter narrows its focus to film, arguing that it is a unique site of memory in terms of its reproducibility, affective impact, blurring of past and present, and appeal to authenticity. War films, by narrating national pasts through images of race and gender, are an integral expression of national memory. By analyzing Chinese and Japanese war films, we can examine current narratives of national identity. Chapter Two discusses how Chinese and Japanese films reject the perceived “foundational narrative” of the war as established at the postwar International Military Tribunal for the Far East or Tokyo Trial (1946-1948).
