  • Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

    “This chameleon of an event not only retains its eclectic nature, it builds upon it as needed. In this city titles in some major festivals can be too predictable. This is not the case in this refreshing mélange.” Howard Feinstein, Filmmaker Magazine THEN AND NOW: IN 1975 ASIAN CINEVISION WAS FOUNDED AS CCTV (CHINESE CABLE TELEVISION) PRODUCING A WEEKLY 30 MINUTE COMMUNITY AFFAIRS TV SHOW AIRING ON THE WARNER AMEX CABLE NETWORK. THE FIRST ASIAN AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL SCREENED JUST 42 FILMS IN 1978. TODAY 40 YEARS LATER AAIFF SCREENS CLOSE TO 100 TITLES FROM NEARLY 30 COUNTRIES OVER TEN DAYS IN JULY. PHOTOS COURTESY OF (L) CORKY LEE AND (R) LIA CHANG. THE ANNUAL ASIAN AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (AAIFF) is New York’s leading showcase for the Asian American and Asian independent cinema. Presented by Asian CineVision (ACV), the AAIFF is the first and longest-running festival in the U.S. to showcase the moving image work by artists of Asian descent and about the Asian American experience. AAIFF premiered in the seminal summer of 1978 at the Henry Street Settlement in New York City. Ed Koch had been elected mayor, the first cellular mobile phone is introduced, serial killer David Berkowitz, “Son of Sam,” is convicted of murder, GREASE, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS were the blockbusters of their day. Forty years later, the AAIFF has grown to include films and video from more than 30 coun- tries, answering a growing need for social understanding, cultural diversity in American life, and independent cinema. AAIFF has played a vital role in discovering and nurturing such acclaimed talent as Oscar Award winners Ang Lee, Jessica Yu, Steven Okazaki, Ruby Yang and Chris Tashima; Os- car Award nominees Christine Choy and Rene Tajima-Pena, Frieda Lee Mock, Arthur Dong, Zhang Yimou; and mainstream entertainment directors Wayne Wang, Mira Nair, and Justin Lin.

    List of action films of the 2010s - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_action_films_of_the_2010s List of action films of the 2010s From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it (//en.wikipedia.org /w/index.php?title=List_of_action_films_of_the_2010s&action=edit) with reliably sourced entries. This is chronological list of action films originally released in the 2010s. Often there may be considerable overlap particularly between action and other genres (including, horror, comedy, and science fiction films); the list should attempt to document films which are more closely related to action, even if it bends genres.

  • Louis Vuitton's Walking Tours of Beijing, Hong Kong & Shanghai
    Innovation > Travel & Tourism > Louis Vuitton's walking tours of Beijing, Hong Kong & Shanghai LOUIS VUITTON'S WALKING TOURS OF BEIJING, HONG KONG & SHANGHAI TRAVEL & TOURISM This year’s Summer Olympics focused new international interest on Beijing in particular and China in general, so it’s not surprising to see new products and services emerging with a Chinese twist. Case in point: a new series of MP3 audio tours of Chinese cities created by luxury brand Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton Soundwalk MP3 audio guides, produced in collaboration with Soundwalk (creator of “audio tours for people who don’t normally take audio tours”), are designed to give users a vibrant portrayal of three Chinese cities–Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Each is led by an icon of Chinese cinema, with Gong Li narrating the Beijing tour, Joan Chen describing Shanghai and Shu Qi leading the tour of Hong Kong. The hour-long tours blend walking instructions with nostalgic story-telling, accompanied by the signature sounds of each city, and are carefully synchronized with the itinerary. They are available in English, French, Cantonese, Chinese, Korean and Japanese, priced at EUR 12 each. Narrated walking tours by MP3 are a relatively inexpensive way to give consumers some of the experiences and status skills they so ardently crave, even if they never actually make it to the location in person. Soundwalk already offers a variety of other MP3 tours of cities including New York and Paris, as well as Puma-branded running tours of Berlin, New York, London and Paris and a multibranded Da Vinci Code tour of the Louvre.
