Several days later the RCSU received a note from CGCU attached to a bag containing a rubber bolt with the message: “h is is the closest you will get this year”. Eventually the CGCU sent a list of ransom demands to RCSU shortly before the Freshers’ Fair including the donation of £350 to RAG, for the RCSU President to take Vicious Hornets and part in the CGCU “slave auction” and for the RCSU to advertise the CGCU horny marsupials 8 Welcome Dinner on social media.

  • Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang
    1 College of Arts at the University of Canterbury Art History and Theory in the School of Humanities ARTH 690 Masters Thesis Title of Thesis: The Eight Views: from its origin in the Xiao and Xiang rivers to Hiroshige. Jennifer Baker Senior Supervisor: Dr. Richard Bullen (University of Canterbury). Co-Supervisor: Dr. Rachel Payne (University of Canterbury). Thesis Start Registration Date: 01 March 2009. Thesis Completion Date: 28 February 2010. Word Count: 30, 889. 2 Abstract This thesis focuses upon the artistic and poetic subject of the Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang, from its origin in the Xiao-Xiang region in the Hunan province of China throughout its dispersal in East Asian countries such as Korea and Japan. Certain aesthetics and iconography were retained from the early examples, throughout the Eight Views’ transformation from the eleventh to the nineteenth century. The subject‟s close associations with poetry, atmospheric phenomena and the context of exile were reflected in the imagery of the painting and the accompanying verses. This thesis will discuss the historic, geographic and poetic origins of the Eight Views, along with a thorough investigation into the artistic styles which various East Asian artists employed in their own interpretations of the series. Furthermore, the dispersal and diaspora of the subject throughout East Asia are also investigated in this thesis. The work of Japanese artist Andô Hiroshige will serve as the concluding apogee. The Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang is an important East Asian artistic subject in both poetry and painting and contains many pervasive East Asian aesthetics.

  • 1 INTRODUCTION Accounts of Taiwan and Its History Have Been
    INTRODUCTION Accounts of Taiwan and its history have been profoundly influenced by cultural and political ideologies, which have fluctuated radically over the past four centuries on the island. Small parts of Taiwan were ruled by the Dutch (1624-1662), Spanish (1626-1642), Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga)1 and his heirs (1662-1683), and a large part by Qing Dynasty China (1683-1895). Thereafter, the whole of the island was under Japanese control for half a century (1895-1945), and after World War II, it was taken over by the Republic of China (ROC), being governed for more than four decades by the authoritarian government of Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang (KMT), or Chinese Nationalist Party,2 before democratization began in earnest in the late 1980s. Taiwan’s convoluted history and current troubled relations with the People’s Republic of China (PRC), which claims Taiwan is “a renegade province” of the PRC, has complicated the world’s understanding of Taiwan. Many Western studies of Taiwan, primarily concerning its politics and economic development, have been conducted as an 1 Pinyin is employed in this dissertation as its Mandarin romanization system, though there are exceptions for names of places which have been officially transliterated differently, and for names of people who have been known to Western scholarship in different forms of romanization. In these cases, the more popular forms are used. All Chinese names are presented in the same order as they would appear in Chinese, surname first, given name last, unless the work is published in English, in which case the surname appears last.

  • Contested Images of China, Japan, and Russia: Landscape and Language in Purple Sunset (2001)
    1-2 _________________________________________________________ Contested Images of China, Japan, and Russia: Landscape and Language in Purple Sunset (2001) Yingjin Zhang Abstract This paper analyzes the innovative ways in which film director Feng Xiaoning contests conventional images of China, Japan, and Russia and resituates racial identities at a life-and-death threshold at the end of WWII in Purple Sunset (2001). The spectacular natural landscape of Northeast China (or Manchuria) provides an unusual stage for three isolated human beings (a male Chinese laborer, a Japanese schoolgirl, and a female Russian soldier) who are lost in the wilderness and struggle to outsmart their enemies and outgrow their predesignated identities, and their different uses of language heighten the fragility of human communication and existence. The outcome is at once tragic and heroic, and the film succeeds in capturing the beauty of life and death and the contested nature of memory and identity. Keywords landscape, language, images, memory, China, Japan, Russia, war film Introduction: Staging the Purple Sunset Near the end of Purple Sunset (dir. Feng Xiaoning 2001), the battle is over, and Nadja (Anna Dzenilalova), a female Russian army nurse, admires the beautiful sunset—“Look at the sunset; it’s purple,” she says in Russian. Against the huge glowing sun, we see the silhouettes of Japanese POWs throwing down their guns one by one. The soundtrack switches to English as we hear a radio announcement: “After this inhuman war, peace returns to the world. All races, the white, the yellow, and the black of all beliefs can live together peacefully to build a new world.
