  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

By its nature, this Journal holds very little room for unspoken motives. JOSA was born out of trust between Stanford and Berkeley students–an idea so promising it transcended collegiate rivalry and undergrad bacchana- lia alike. But nonetheless, a silent goal was formed, recognizable at first only between the two of us. Since the start of our tenure, we’ve worked to steer the Journal in a new direction. JOSA’s original, stated mission has never faded. We’ve always aimed to provide sharp insight on the US -Chi- na relationship, and in the process, provide a platform to highlight young leaders from both sides of the Pacific. Over the past three years, we’ve featured undergraduate and graduate work from Tsinghua to Stanford, hosted several speaking events with prominent thought leaders, and evolved into the largest student-run US-China journal in the United States.

  • “China Factor” in Contemporary Hong Kong Genre Cinema
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 46.1 March 2020: 11-37 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.202003_46(1).0002 Re-Negotiations of the “China Factor” in Contemporary Hong Kong Genre Cinema Ting-Ying Lin Department of Information and Communication Tamkang University, Taiwan Abstract Given the long-existing and multifaceted negotiations of the “China factor” in Hong Kong film history, this article centers on the political function of genre films by exploring how contemporary Hong Kong filmmakers utilize filmmaking as a flexible strategy to re-negotiate and reflect on the China factor concerning current post-handover political dynamics. By focusing on several recent Hong Kong genre films as case studies, it examines how the China factor is negotiated in Vulgaria (低俗喜劇 Disu xiju, 2012) and The Midnight After (那夜凌晨，我坐上了旺角開往大埔的紅 VAN Naye lingchen, wo zuoshang le Wangjiao kaiwang Dapu de hong van, 2014), considering the politics of languages alongside the imaginary of the disappearance of Hong Kong’s local cultures in the post-handover era. It also highlights two post-Umbrella- Revolution films, Trivisa ( 樹大招風 Shuda zhaofeng, 2016) and The Mobfathers (選老頂 Xuan lao ding, 2016), to explore how the China factor is negotiated in light of the collective anxieties of Hongkongers regarding the handover and controversies in the current electoral system of Hong Kong. By doing so, this article argues that the re-negotiations of the China factor in contemporary Hong Kong genre cinema have become more and more politically reflexive given the increasingly severe political interference of the Beijing sovereignty that has violated the autonomy of Hong Kong, while forming a discourse of resistance of Hongkongers against possible neo- colonialism from the Chinese authorities in the postcolonial city.

  • Chicago Journal of Foreign Policy
    Chicago Journal of Foreign Policy Spring 2020 Letter from the Editors Dear Readers, The last calendar year has been marked by challenges previously unforeseen. Like many organizations, the Chicago Journal of Foreign Policy experienced disruptions to its standard operating procedure and timeline. That said, we are incredibly excited to release our Spring/ Summer 2020 issue. As always, we would like to thank our staff for their continued dedication. We would also like to thank our contributors from the College, the University of Chicago, and universities across the country. Your contributions bring a rich and diverse array of perspectives, subjects, and issues. Owing to your remarkable effort and genuine interest in foreign affairs, we are able to publish our journal. In brief, the five articles contained herein encompass a variety of geographic foci, methodologies, and arguments. Each is a terrific example of foreign affairs research in its own right. Camille Kirsch acted as a participant observer in the Yellow Jacket protests in France and, in her article, examines their nuanced relationship with the state. Devang Laddha explores the outlook for international human rights in the new decade, and Gregory and Ian Wong assess the Chinese Communist Party’s stability maintenance regime in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Sara Hingson-Rodriguez addresses Alberto Fujimori’s family planning program in Peru and, finally, Thomas Weil’s piece considers the weaponization of space and its potential regulation by international organizations. Our journal’s goal is to celebrate undergraduate scholarship and, as such, we are constantly looking to highlight new articles, authors, and perspectives.

  • A Conductor's Guide to Lyric Diction in Standard Chinese
    A Conductor’s Guide to Lyric Diction in Standard Chinese by Yik Ling Elaine Choi A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Elaine Choi, 2018. A Conductor’s Guide to Lyric Diction in Standard Chinese Yik Ling Elaine Choi Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2018 Abstract Chinese choral music is a relatively recent phenomenon. Within the last century, Chinese conductors and choral ensembles have actively fostered a vibrant choral community. Furthermore, Chinese composers have taken increasing interest in the choral art, resulting in a growing body of new choral repertoire. Contemporary Chinese choral music adopts western choral approaches such as voice parts (SATB), style (bel canto), harmony and structure, but retains Chinese texts. In order to introduce Chinese choral art music to English-speaking choirs, conductors must be equipped with good resources to deepen their understanding of the choral culture in China. More importantly, they need supportive materials to help them tackle the challenges of the language. Currently there are few guides to lyric diction in Standard Chinese for singers and choral conductors. The primary goal of this study is to break down the complexity of the pronunciation of this language, using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and Pinyin systems, to provide a helpful guide to conductors in teaching Chinese choral music. ii A secondary goal is to introduce choral musicians to contemporary Chinese choral music. In addition to outlining the history of choral music in China, this study also includes analyses of five original compositions written within the last decade, in order to provide examples of original choral works in Standard Chinese written by Chinese composers from different geographical backgrounds: Hong Kong, China, the United States, and Canada.

  • Syllable Fusion in Hong Kong Cantonese Connected Speech
    SYLLABLE FUSION IN HONG KONG CANTONESE CONNECTED SPEECH DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Wai Yi Peggy Wong, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Professor Mary E Beckman, Adviser _________________________ Professor Marjorie K M Chan, Co-Adviser Adviser Professor Chris Brew _________________________ Co-Adviser Linguistics Graduate Program © Copyright by Wai Yi Peggy Wong 2006 ABSTRACT This dissertation is about “syllable fusion” in Hong Kong Cantonese. Syllable fusion is a connected-speech phenomenon whereby boundaries between syllables are blurred together in a way that suggests an intermediate level of grouping between the syllable and the larger intonational phrase. Previous studies of this phenomenon have focused on extreme cases — i.e. whole segments (consonants and/or vowels) are deleted at the relevant syllable boundary. By contrast, in this dissertation, “syllable fusion” refers to a variety of changes affecting a sequence of two syllables that range along a continuum from “mild” to “extreme” blending together of the syllables. Less extreme changes include assimilation, consonant lenition and so on, any substantial weakening or effective deletion of the oral gesture(s) of the segment(s) contiguous to the syllable boundary, and the sometimes attendant resyllabifications that create “fused forms”. More extreme fusion can simplify contour tones and “merge” the qualities of vowels that would be separated by an onset or coda consonant at more “normal” degrees of disjuncture between words. ii The idea that motivates the experiments described in this dissertation is that the occurrence of syllable fusion marks prosodic grouping at the level of the “foot”, a phonological constituent which has been proposed to account for prosodic phenomena such as the process of tone sandhi and neutral tone in other varieties of Chinese.
