This exhibition is a unique combination of photography, video, sculpture and painting from fifteen contemporary Indian and Chinese artists. China and India are the world’s two most populous nations with the fastest growing economies. Both countries are on the cusp of a changing global order, which puts them at the centre of world scrutiny. As a consequence of their rise in prominence, Indian and Chinese art are playing a more significant role in the international art market with some Indian and Chinese artists attracting a global following. Relations between China and India date back to ancient times. Both cultures reflect a humanist and artistic exchange. Today through diplomatic and economic ties spurred by their respective growth, they have successfully entered into mutually beneficial dialogue.

  • Augusta Savage Gallery
    HOME Augusta Savage Gallery February 1 - March 8, 2018 March 26 - April 30, 2018 Augusta Savage Gallery has recognized the urgent and timely need to consider what Home means to many different people. As a result, we have invited a global array of artists to offer their visual art and accompanying words on this subject to the Five-College community. Represented in this exhibit are artists from Canada, Brazil, Ukraine, Germany, China, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Argentina and the US. Home carries with it many meanings. It can trigger memories or spark anticipation. It sometimes reminds us of painful experiences, or offers some promise of freedom, or evokes terror of a future. For some, Home is connected to a place or moment in time that carries pleasurable memories. For others, it is a place to which, regrettably, they cannot or will not ever return. Some have generational ties to their homes and have witnessed the expulsion and dispersion of entire communities from their places of birth - the rupturing of familial and cultural continuity. Some think of Home in ideological terms, and are shocked and repulsed by politics and values in a nation that once felt safe, but now create tremendous anxiety. Still others have never been privy to the stability of solid ground beneath their feet, a home base, a sense of nationhood, or belonging. We continue to struggle with notions of nationhood, with identities that straddle places and ideologies that keep shifting. We grapple with the redefining of laws we may have taken for granted, and with morale and behaviors that makes us feel “at home” or threatened.

  • CHAPTER TWO Miraculous Christianity and Grassroots Practice in the Republican Era Introduction This Chapter Explores the Larger
    CHAPTER TWO Miraculous Christianity and Grassroots Practice in the Republican Era Introduction This chapter explores the larger world of Chinese Christianity in which the True Jesus Church existed and argues that the miracle-centered interpretation of Christianity was not peculiar to the True Jesus Church but was in fact present within the mainstream of Christianity in the first half of the twentieth century. This argument further dispels the implication found within what I call the “continuity approach”: the tendency of existing scholarship on the True Jesus Church to argue that the True Jesus Church’s affinity to miraculous modes in the Chinese popular religious tradition historically set it apart from other, supposedly more orthodox, forms of Christianity. The miraculous mode of Christianity was not isolated within the True Jesus Church. During the Republican era, it was a central feature of mainstream Chinese Christianity. This finding reinforces the notion that we must find alternate interpretations for Chinese Christian movements like the True Jesus Church that go beyond continuity with Chinese popular religion and socioeconomic deprivation as ways to explain certain facets of the history of Christianity in China, such as the existence of beliefs and practices like particularistic protection, healing, visions, exorcism, ecstatic worship, and glossolalia. The significance of this miraculous mode of Christianity, widespread throughout Chinese churches during the first half of the twentieth century, lies not just in the way in which Christians appealed to Biblical precedent while simultaneously addressing the native religious environment, but also in the way in which believers’ egalitarian perspective on access to divine power upset traditional ecclesiastical and gender hierarchies.

Transitivity Analysis of American President Donald Trump’s Inaugural Address. International Journal of Literature and Arts . Vol. 6, No. 2, 2018, pp. 28-34. doi: 10.11648/j.ijla.20180602.11 Received : April 13, 2018; Accepted : May 8, 2018; Published : May 31, 2018 Abstract: Political public speeches cause a large amount of attention, due to their political, economic and cultural influence. This thesis adopts Systemic-Functional Grammar as its theoretical framework to conduct a transitivity analysis in American President Donald Trump’s Inaugural Address. The aim of this thesis is to find the political motivation hidden by the form of language. At the same time, this thesis tries to explore the deep social significance via transitivity analysis of the ideational function. In Donald Trump’s Inaugural Address, the material process is the most frequently used process. The relational process and the mental process take the second and the third respectively. In transferring power to the people, material process is strongly involved. In advocating for U.S. interests in international contacts -- America first, relational process top the list of all the six processes. In recovering the audience’s confidence and looking forward to a better future, American President Donald Trump applied different mental processes.

  • The Construction of a Chinese Collocational Knowledge Resource and Its Application for Second Language Acquisition
    The Construction of a Chinese Collocational Knowledge Resource and Its Application for Second Language Acquisition Renfen Hu Jiayong Chen and Kuang-hua Chen Institute of Chinese Information Pro- Department of Library and Information cessing, Beijing Normal University Science, National Taiwan University 19 Xinjiekouwai Street, Beijing, China No.1, Sec. 4, Roosevelt Road, Taipei, Taiwan [email protected] {d04126001,khchen}@ntu.edu.tw Abstract The appropriate use of collocations is a challenge for second language acquisition. However, high quali- ty and easily accessible Chinese collocation resources are not available for both teachers and students. This paper presents the design and construction of a large scale resource of Chinese collocational knowledge, and a web-based application (OCCA, Online Chinese Collocation Assistant) which offers free and convenient collocation search service to end users. We define and classify collocations based on practical language acquisition needs and utilize a syntax based method to extract nine types of collo- cations. Totally 37 extraction rules are compiled with word, POS and dependency relation features, 1,750,000 collocations are extracted from a corpus for L2 learning and complementary Wikipedia data, and OCCA is implemented based on these extracted collocations. By comparing OCCA with two tradi- tional collocation dictionaries, we find OCCA has higher entry coverage and collocation quantity, and our method achieves quite low error rate at less than 5%. We also discuss how to apply collocational knowledge to grammatical error detection and demonstrate comparable performance to the best results in 2015 NLP-TEA CGED shared task. The preliminary experiment shows that the collocation knowledge is helpful in detecting all the four types of grammatical errors.
