  • Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong By
    Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong by Cecilia Louise Chu A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor C. Greig Crysler Professor Eugene F. Irschick Spring 2012 Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Copyright 2012 by Cecilia Louise Chu 1 Abstract Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Cecilia Louise Chu Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair This dissertation traces the genealogy of property development and emergence of an urban milieu in Hong Kong between the 1870s and mid 1930s. This is a period that saw the transition of colonial rule from one that relied heavily on coercion to one that was increasingly “civil,” in the sense that a growing number of native Chinese came to willingly abide by, if not whole-heartedly accept, the rules and regulations of the colonial state whilst becoming more assertive in exercising their rights under the rule of law. Long hailed for its laissez-faire credentials and market freedom, Hong Kong offers a unique context to study what I call “speculative urbanism,” wherein the colonial government’s heavy reliance on generating revenue from private property supported a lucrative housing market that enriched a large number of native property owners. Although resenting the discrimination they encountered in the colonial territory, they were able to accumulate economic and social capital by working within and around the colonial regulatory system.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: the ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN DURING THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION, AUGUST 1966-JANUARY 1967 Zehao Zhou, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Professor James Gao, Department of History This dissertation examines the attacks on the Three Kong Sites (Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, Confucius Cemetery) in Confucius’s birthplace Qufu, Shandong Province at the start of the Cultural Revolution. During the height of the campaign against the Four Olds in August 1966, Qufu’s local Red Guards attempted to raid the Three Kong Sites but failed. In November 1966, Beijing Red Guards came to Qufu and succeeded in attacking the Three Kong Sites and leveling Confucius’s tomb. In January 1967, Qufu peasants thoroughly plundered the Confucius Cemetery for buried treasures. This case study takes into consideration all related participants and circumstances and explores the complicated events that interwove dictatorship with anarchy, physical violence with ideological abuse, party conspiracy with mass mobilization, cultural destruction with revolutionary indo ctrination, ideological vandalism with acquisitive vandalism, and state violence with popular violence. This study argues that the violence against the Three Kong Sites was not a typical episode of the campaign against the Four Olds with outside Red Guards as the principal actors but a complex process involving multiple players, intraparty strife, Red Guard factionalism, bureaucratic plight, peasant opportunism, social ecology, and ever- evolving state-society relations. This study also maintains that Qufu locals’ initial protection of the Three Kong Sites and resistance to the Red Guards were driven more by their bureaucratic obligations and self-interest rather than by their pride in their cultural heritage.

    Toronto 11.12 Symphony ANNUAL Orchestra REPORT tso Peter Oundjian, Music Director 11.12 90 th Season Big Number. Bold Season. From our Music Director Ninety is an interesting age for an orchestra. In the context of a lifetime, the TSO has had a relationship with several generations of Torontonians and guest artists. Within the context of the composers who inspire us and their repertoire which has truly stood the test of time, 90 is quite young. At 90, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra presented a landmark season of bold musical experiences which continue to connect, transcend, and enrich our community. We are a vibrant orchestra, fresh at 90, and powered by the traditions of greatness from which we draw our repertoire. Our commitment to creating art and refreshing our art form was reflected in the celebration of new music and composers throughout the 2011.2012 programme, in our New Creations Festival, and in welcoming 28 débuting artists during the 90th season. We are passionate about enriching our community through art and the power of music, as evidenced so clearly by the major 90th season Residencies featuring three of the greatest artists performing today. I am indebted to, and inspired by, the talented musicians of the TSO, who every day share their passion and commitment towards exceptional orchestral performances. I thank you, the audience, for your enthusiasm in these live concert experiences. Sincerely, Peter Oundjian MUSIC DIRECTOR 3 Chair’s Message The Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s 90th season was an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the organization and to present an extraordinary season of stellar guest artists, remarkable artistic programming, and special celebrations, including our major fundraising event, Celebrate 90 , which was a landmark for the organization.
