  • China: Solidarity Under a Song What a Strike Tells Us*
    Copyright © 2013 by Feng Xiang 《团结在国歌之下》 China: Solidarity Under a Song What a Strike Tells Us* Feng Xiang** Abstract The right of solidarity has been in legal limbo in China for decades. But in recent years an increasing number of strikes ended in collective negotiation, mediated by government, congressional and trade union officials, instead of the familiar story of arrests and prosecution. This article argues that these changes cannot be adequately explained by the “unseen hand” of the market, the policy of urbanization or better networking technology. Rather, they are essentially due to a conscious effort on the part of strikers to re-politicize their walkout, whereby to overcome barriers of the “rule of law” and revert what the law defines as contractual employment disputes to their original status: the breaking, repair and reorganization of the Party-masses relationship. The solidarity thus regained is not a lawful right, but an avatar of justified power, authority and even people’s sovereignty, all captured by a single Chinese character, “quan”. Key words: solidarity; right to strike; trade union; “quan” as power/authority/sovereignty/right; the PRC constitutions. Let’s build a new Great Wall May 17, 2010, Monday. Early in the morning, Tan Guocheng came to his shift at the Honda factory of Nanhai District, Foshan City in Guangdong Province. Tan was a 24 year old “migrant worker” from Hunan, a neighboring province; and the factory, commonly known as Honda Nanhai, manufactured automobile parts. But that morning Tan did not turn on the machine. Instead he pushed a red emergency button nearby.

  • Organist-Led Community Singing in the American Picture Palace, 1925–1933 Esther Marie Morgan-Ellis 2013
    ABSTRACT Organist-Led Community Singing in the American Picture Palace, 1925–1933 Esther Marie Morgan-Ellis 2013 uring the 1920s, most urban Americans participated in community D singing at least once a week. They did so at the local picture palace, a multimedia venue that combined motion pictures with live entertain- ment. These stately theaters, found in cities across the nation after 1913, represented the cultural acceptance of motion pictures as a form of entertainment suitable for the middle class. Since 1905, films exhibited in urban nickelodeon theaters had been attracting a working-class audience. To counteract negative associations between the motion picture and its rough clientele, picture-palace exhibitors offered their patrons every luxury, including air conditioning, comfortable lounges, glamorous décor, and complimentary child care. Individual theaters replicated the architecture and ornamentation of famous palaces, opera houses, and hotels, while the attentive service made visitors feel like European nobility. Among the luxuries in store for the visitor was a diverse program of live enter- tainment, including an overture, an organ solo, and a stage show. The overture was presented by the house orchestra, while the stage show featured guest artists and local favorites, most of whom performed in costume before an elaborate set. Audience Abstract singing was sometimes led by stage performers or band leaders, or by sing-along films (popular throughout the ’20s and ’30s). Most of the time, however, community singing was led by the organist. The term “organ solo” is the trade designation for the portion of the show over which the organist had complete control.

They began working in the early 1900s, at the same time as Walt Disney, but while Disney went on to become a household name, the Fleischers are barely remembered. Our film will change this, introducing a wide national audience to a family of brothers – Max, Dave, Lou, Joe, and Charlie – who created Fleischer Studios and a roster of animated characters who reflected the rough and tumble sensibilities of their own Jewish immigrant neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. “The Fleischer story involves the glory of American Jazz culture, union brawls on Broadway, gangsters, sex, and southern segregation,” says advisor Tom Sito. Advisor Jerry Beck adds, “It is a story of rags to riches – and then back to rags – leaving a legacy of iconic cinema and evergreen entertainment.” BUDGET Outright Request 600,000.00 Cost Sharing 90,000.00 Matching Request 0.00 Total Budget 690,000.00 Total NEH 600,000.00 GRANT ADMINISTRATOR Ms.

A Cambridge graduate with broad arts background, his style was “precise, calm, rich in resonance.” Among his films, one earned him a world-wide reputation: Listen to Britain: (a) Featured Jennings’ specialty, vignettes of human behavior under extraordinary stress—they are heeding the government’s 1939 call to “Keep Calm and Carry On“; (b) Typical of Jennings’ war films— the film never explains, exhorts, or harangues—it observes;
