What if such a response offers a way out of oppression, a means of resistance? What if it even offers a path to joy, solidarity and sisterhood? In this sparkling essay, as mischievous and provocative as it is urgent and serious, Pauline Harmange interrogates modern attitudes to feminism and makes a rallying cry Fourth Estate for women to find a greater love for each other - and themselves. 9780008457587 Pub Date: 1/19/2021 On Sale Date: 1/19/2021 Contributor Bio Ship Date: 12/23/2020 I Hate Men is Pauline Harmange's first book.

It is founded on the belief that spreading awareness of the complexities and nuances underpinning socioeconomic change in contemporary Chinese society is important, especially considering how in today’s globalised world Chinese labour issues have reverberations that go well beyond national borders. MIC rests on two pillars: the conviction that today, more than ever, it is necessary to bridge the gap between the scholarly community and the general public, and the related belief that open access publishing is necessary to ethically reappropriate academic research from commercial publishers who restrict the free circulation of ideas.

    HARNESSING THE DRAGON`S FUME (Challenging the Chinese Communist Party`s distorted Tibet narratives) Tsewang Gyalpo Arya DIIR PUBLICATIONS Published by: Department of Information and International Relations (DIIR) Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) Gangchen Kyishong Dharamsala - 176215 H.P. INDIA Email: [email protected] Website: www.tibet.net Cover illustration: Yuki Goto First edition: April 2021 (1000 copies) © tgarya ISBN 978-93-85578-23-6 Printed at: Narthang Press, Gangchen Kyishong, Dharamsala - 176215 (H.P.) FOREWORD Since the coming of Xi Jinping at the helm of Chinese communist party, China adopted an offensive stance on various fronts to assert its claim on Tibet and has through its mouthpiece like, the Global Times, Xinhua News and CGTN barraged its propaganda to the outside world. It has consistently tried to justify its occupation of Tibet by harping on the development it has made and the increased GDP growth in the region. While China claims great development, human rights and prosperity in Tibet, it has barred the U.N. rapporteurs, diplomats and media from visiting Tibet. It has, however, from time to time invited limited foreign journalists on a state sponsored tour in Tibet with a clear message to parrot the communist party`s propaganda. Through these foreign media, China has tried to distort the historical facts and assert its ownership over Tibet since ancient times. In a gross violation of religious freedom, Chinese communist party, who does not believe in religion, has taken over the management of Tibetan monasteries. The CCP leadership is now openly interfering in the selection of high Tibetan Lamas and has come out boldly to exert its authority in the selection of the next Dalai Lama.

  • Fang Fang's Wuhan Diary Kevin Robins
    The Great City is Fragile: Fang Fang's Wuhan Diary Kevin Robins Cultural Politics, Volume 17, Issue 1, March 2021, pp. 69-79 (Article) Published by Duke University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/786392 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] The GREAT CITY IS FRAGILE Fang Fang’s Wuhan Diary Kevin Robins Abstract This article explores issues covered in Wuhan Diary, a day- by- day account by the Chinese author Fang Fang of her experiences during the height of the pandemic crisis in the city of Wuhan during the early months of 2020. It seeks to bring out what is distinctive and innovative about the text. Most notably, this concerns the mobilization of social media, such as Weibo and WeChat, as a basis for social communication and the dissemination of information within and beyond the city. The resultant text is not a diary in the conventional sense but, rather, a vast montage of diverse kinds of material that have been electronically cut up and pasted together. A particular focus of the discussion concerns ethical support and solidarity among citizens of Wuhan at this time of acute disruption. In this context, the article suggests a significant, and maybe surprising, affinity between Fang Fang’s immediate concerns and issues raised in the ethical philosophies of Paul Ricoeur and Gabriel Marcel. Keywords Wuhan, coronavirus, Fang Fang, ethics, Paul Ricoeur Le réel quelquefois désaltère l’espérance. C’est pourquoi, contre toute attente, l’espérance survit. (The real sometimes takes away the thirst of hope.
