August is a prime month for physical endeavors in both hemispheres so there’s many a season starting or B finishing.

Here’s where to do it: All-Star Sports Bar & Grill More screens than anywhere else in town and a willingness to put on the game you want.

Kid Fresh is returning to Punk so there’s no excuse if you missed the last set. Last but not least in news in big names is J.Rocc. He was scheduled to play way back in June but the dreaded swine flu put paid to that. Hopefully he’s had his Tamiflu and will make it to his August 29 date. We’ll see. Event organizers appear to be experimenting with new concepts this month. Switch at Obiwan on August 21 is the most off-the-wall. You turn up in your own clothes and every time the music stops, you exchange an item of clothing with the nearest boy or girl. Sounds like a cross-dresser’s dream, and a style editor’s worst nightmare. Other exciting events include La Baie des Anges’ Soundtrack Night on O'SHEA'S COURTESY OF PADDY PHOTO August 8, where everyone’s favorite hutong wine bar plays nothing but film scores. Some of the music will be “good” and some “just retarded but in a good way.” That should be recommendation enough for anyone. Also, Bling, All-Star and Fez will join 2F in being a year old. When you’re not at these events, or soaking up the rays in the beer gardens, you might want to keep an eye out for the opening of the Sanlitun branch of Salud and Chad Lager’s Fubar. We’ll have reviews of them, and more, next month.

While possibly no capital city in the world is being renewed so intensely as Beijing, which presents both enormous potential and threat. Intrinsic to this research is a concept that the design culture of a city is formed largely by the national character, aesthetic value and culture distinctive to that city; these are the soil of design culture which merit careful observation and description.

  • Comparative Connections a Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations
    Comparative Connections A Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations Japan-China Relations: Politics in Command: Part 2 James J. Przystup Institute for National Strategic Studies National Defense University Beijing welcomed the new Fukuda government and Japan’s new prime minister made clear his commitment to improving Japan’s relations with its Asian neighbors and building the strategic relationship with China. However, the new government in Tokyo soon became preoccupied with the passage of a new antiterrorism special measures law to reauthorize Japan’s refueling operations in support of UN operations in Afghanistan, Defense Ministry scandals, and the continuing pension fund imbroglio. Despite repeated commitments by political leadership in Tokyo and Beijing to joint development of the oil and natural gas resources in the East China Sea, there is no tangible resolution of the issue in sight. At the end of the year, joint development remained an aspiration. Even as the prime minister prepared for his late December visit to China, government and diplomatic sources were downplaying expectations that the visit would produce agreement on the issue. Meanwhile, as underscored by the first meeting of the Japan-China High Level Economic Dialogue, economic and business ties continued to strengthen the foundation of the bilateral relationship. Japan-China relations under the Fukuda government Beijing welcomed the advent of the Fukuda government. On Sept. 25, China’s Foreign Ministry congratulated the new prime minister on his accession to office and expressed the hope that the reciprocal strategic relationship would continue to develop in a healthy and stable manner. China’s media gave front-page play to the new prime minister, emphasizing Fukuda’s interest in advancing relations with Japan’s Asian neighbors and his commitment not to visit the Yasukuni Shrine.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Texas A&M University TOWARDS COOPERATION: AN ORGANIZATIONAL RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE U.S.-CHINA STRATEGIC AND ECONOMIC DIALOGUE A Dissertation by ROBERT HINCK Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Alan Kluver Committee Members, Charles Conrad Nathan Crick William Norris Head of Department, Kevin Barge August 2017 Major Subject: Communication Copyright 2017 Robert Schaefer Hinck ABSTRACT This study analyzes the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogues (S&ED) to uncover the organizational and rhetorical mechanisms by which U.S. and Chinese officials attempt to forge cooperative relations while managing issues of conflict. I argue for a communication centered approach for understanding geopolitical relations and the socialization process by which norms and values take root amongst U.S. and Chinese officials. To do so, I draw upon organizational institutionalism to uncover competing organizational logics guiding and constraining the S&ED through an organizational rhetorical lens while also providing a new theoretical conception of public diplomacy as a means to legitimize the S&ED as a mechanism for managing the complex bilateral relationship. Texts under analysis include the press releases, speeches, memos of understanding, and agreements published following each of the eight annual S&ED meetings from 2009-2016, totaling over 160 documents. Findings suggest that the S&ED defines both the dialogue mechanism and bilateral relationship as founded upon a central logic of “positive, cooperative, and comprehensive” relations between the two countries.

McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT LIU,YI, M.A., August 2012, Art History The Photographically-mediated Identity: Jiang Qing (1914—1991) (91.pp) Director of Thesis: Marion Lee This thesis is a study of Jiang Qing’s 江青 (1914-1991) published photographic works in Chinese national magazines from early 1950s to 1976. Dividing her works into three categories in chronological order, I will investigate how she continuously fashioned her own identity through the manipulation of photography in her pursuit of recognition, fame, and power before and during the Cultural Revolution, a socio-political campaign launched by her husband Mao Zedong 毛泽东 (1893—1976) to regain power and consolidate authority through the revolutionary campaign in ideological spheres, such as class struggle and eradication of old culture and custom. By regarding her works and her association with photography as text, based on which the historical context can be reconstructed, I purport to examine her role in the Cultural Revolution, concluding that her primary perceived identity as Mao’s wife facilitated her rapid rise to power but also curbed her self-fulfillment and resulted in her final downfall soon after Mao died.

Very special thanks to Wu Guanzhang, who kindly accepted the interview request. Introduction 1 As the capital of China, Beijing is undeniably the key to understanding the country’s architectural history. In Beijing, architectural expression and the process of architectural production seem to be more directly linked with the dynamics of China’s state politics and foreign relations. In the 1950s, Beijing was the main battlefield of architectural styles and the epicenter of nationwide theoretical discussions regarding modernism and the Soviet-inspired National Style.
