    © 2013 Yi-ling Lin CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT IN MISSIONARY CHINA: AMERICAN MISSIONARY NOVELS 1880-1930 BY YI-LING LIN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral committee: Professor Waïl S. Hassan, Chair Professor Emeritus Leon Chai, Director of Research Professor Emeritus Michael Palencia-Roth Associate Professor Robert Tierney Associate Professor Gar y G. Xu Associate Professor Rania Huntington, University of Wisconsin at Madison Abstract From a comparative standpoint, the American Protestant missionary enterprise in China was built on a paradox in cross-cultural encounters. In order to convert the Chinese—whose religion they rejected—American missionaries adopted strategies of assimilation (e.g. learning Chinese and associating with the Chinese) to facilitate their work. My dissertation explores how American Protestant missionaries negotiated the rejection-assimilation paradox involved in their missionary work and forged a cultural identification with China in their English novels set in China between the late Qing and 1930. I argue that the missionaries’ novelistic expression of that identification was influenced by many factors: their targeted audience, their motives, their work, and their perceptions of the missionary enterprise, cultural difference, and their own missionary identity. Hence, missionary novels may not necessarily be about conversion, the missionaries’ primary objective but one that suggests their resistance to Chinese culture, or at least its religion. Instead, the missionary novels I study culminate in a non-conversion theme that problematizes the possibility of cultural assimilation and identification over ineradicable racial and cultural differences.

  • Chinese Television Between Propaganda and Entertainment
    Chinese Television between Propaganda and Entertainment: Socialist Traditions, Marketisation and Popular TV Dramas, 1992-2017 by Yingzi WANG School of Social Sciences and Humanities A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University March 2019 © Yingzi WANG (2019) Abstract The ‘reform and opening’ policy initiated since 1978 has profoundly changed the operation and function of Chinese television. Following the accelerated market reforms from 1992, the production of Chinese TV programmes has become increasingly driven by ratings and oriented towards popular entertainment. Within this context, this project aims to examine how Chinese television has evolved over recent decades in response to wider political, economic and cultural changes in China, with a focus on prime-time television dramas broadcast between 1992 and 2017. It situates the analysis of TV dramas within the spectrum of two poles – propaganda and entertainment, aiming to explore how these TV programmes have continued to serve the propaganda imperatives of the Party-state, while at the same time responding to audience demands regarding entertainment. In order to map the changes and continuities exemplified by Chinese TV dramas, this project has adopted a mixed-method approach. This approach includes a systematic quantitative analysis to delineate long-term trends, and four qualitative case studies to establish a more thorough understanding of the detailed transformation in Chinese television. The thesis demonstrates that while Chinese television has become increasingly driven by commercial values that prioritise audience interests and popular elements, television entertainment in China still needs to align with official ideological lines.

  • 2016 China Overview – TV
    TV © 2016 Beyond Summits 2 Summary： • TV media market has tended to be saturated with almost 99% coverage rate in 10 years. However, Chinese are losing their interests in watching TV. The average age of real TV audience is getting older. The biggest proportion of TV audience is constituted by audience aged over 45 years old. The older TV audience are more likely to be heavy TV users. • In terms of TV programs, Chinese TV content is mainly produced by CCTV and provincial satellite TVs. However, TV production and broadcasting will further separate in the future, and high-quality content will be incline to broadcast through Internet platforms. Eventually, the number of TV audience will decrease. More people will choose to watch videos online instead of on TV. • Since 2014, the advertising on TV has seen a dropping trend. In the first half of 2015, TV ads even showed a negative increase. CCTV and provincial satellite TVs were still two major platforms for business to place ads into. © 2016 Beyond Summits 3 Summary： • In 2015，TV programs were mainly broadcasting about TV series, news and various shows，accounting for 57.1% of all programs. The top five provincial TV channels swept most high-rating programs. • The watching length of TV variety shows had a significant increase in 2015. Hunan Sat-TV variety shows' average rating was the highest in 2015. With the rapid development of variety shows and IP TV dramas, a rising trend of title sponsorship and ads were seen in 2015. • What users watch on TV is quite similar with what they watch online.

  • Ll Barnett Sometimes at Night When the Rain Is Pelting Down Like a Chorus of Mad Monkeys on Bongos, the Wind Howls in the Coconut Trees Just Like Rabid Rain Dogs
    A BUDDING LUNATIC’S SIDEWA JOURNEY THROUGH ASIA YS COLLECTIVE SWAGBILL BARNETT SOMETIMES AT NIGHT WHEN THE RAIN IS PELTING DOWN LIKE A CHORUS OF MAD MONKEYS ON BONGOS, THE WIND HOWLS IN THE COCONUT TREES JUST LIKE RABID RAIN DOGS. INTRODUCTION As I get older the sheer randomness of life continues to keep me on the edge of my seat. In this case it was a good number of seats during a year spent on the road – out and about Asia-style, or more exactly, a virtual ThreeSixtyFive of trials, tribulations and flat out day- to-day weirdness. The journey into the future soon became a karma-laid mantra in the present. Whether to stay calm while trying not to get smacked straight in the face by clueless passengers carrying one of those oversized backpacks down an airline aisle, or to smile as I sustained a massive head injury when the Sumo wrestler in 14D fully reclined on take-off. At times I felt as though I was perpetually suspended upside down in a barrel of monkeys and even on arrival, danger was everywhere. It came under martial law as I hit the streets during a midnight curfew, it left me cursing delayed planes or just trying to recall where I’d parked the damned car at the airport. The thin red line turned ugly in 2014 and the tipping point is only a mildly aromatic memory, buried deep in cerebral lala-land. Readers of this possibly out of control and irreverent collection of tales may need to assume the ‘brace, brace, brace’ position, but trust me, no one is coming out unscathed.

  • Christianity in Rural China: a Case Study of Haikou Town Preface
    Christianity in Rural China: A Case Study of Haikou Town Yimeng Xu Preface China is a large agricultural country, and as the rural economy continues to develop and the living standards of the farmers are enhanced day by day, a growth in religious belief (Christianity in particular) has also been noteworthy. Religion in rural China is a complex matter. Religious belief has been deeply rooted in traditional Chinese society and its important role in rural China has not been overlooked. To verify the historical or modern social viewpoint, the Chinese peasant represents traditional Chinese culture and folk belief. Christianity, which is the root of Western culture, has become a serious issue in recent years because it is spreading rapidly among the peasants. Traditional Chinese folk beliefs such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism have not grown as fast as Christianity. According to the statistics of the Chinese government, China has a population of Christian believers of approximately 25 million [1],of which about 80% are peasants in rural areas. Christian ideology has already brought about a major influence and a stunning impact on the traditional folk beliefs, moral precepts, and lifestyle of the original cultural structure of rural areas. As everyone knows, Chinese civilization has encountered Christianity many times over a long period of years, and many significant concepts and influences from Christianity have appeared in Chinese history. However, despite many efforts over several centuries, Christianity has received strong resistance
