These pieces are driven by the psychology of the men and woman roaming these pages, seeking to provide insight into the unique weight of their personal wreckage. From a woman craving motherhood who combs through forests searching for the unclaimed body of a runaway to a spitfire retiree’s struggle to accept her husband’s failing health, the individuals in these narratives are all navigating transitional spaces in their lives, often unwillingly. Along the way, they must balance the pressures of familial roles, romantic relationships, and personal histories while attempting to reshape their understanding of self. These stories explore the shifting landscape of identity, belonging, and the sometimes conflicting responsibilities we hold to others and to ourselves. v vi Dedication This manuscript is dedicated to my parents, who read me so many stories. vii viii

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

    © Copyright 2019 Yiyu Tian Trapped in Time: Bodily Experiences of Family Dependent Workers (jiashu) in Daqing, a Model Industrial City in High-socialist China Yiyu Tian A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2019 Committee: Sasha Su-Ling Welland Priti Ramamurthy Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies University of Washington Abstract Trapped in Time: Bodily Experiences of Family Dependent Workers (jiashu) in Daqing, a Model Industrial City in High-socialist China Yiyu Tian Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Sasha Su-Ling Welland Department of Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies The thesis focuses on the bodily experiences of family dependent workers (jiashu) in Daqing, an industrial city in high-socialist China. Jiashu referred to housewives that were mobilized by the state as temporary “workers” but didn’t enjoy the due social status or welfare. The thesis uses two kinds of materials: life stories of Daqing jiashu who worked in the 1960s-70s, and a drama on Daqing jiashu, The Rising Sun. The Maoist Marxist theorization of women’s liberation prophesied that women would be liberated by fully participating in productive labor. Bound by their housewife identity, jiashu was never included in the state’s imagination of a utopian communist future. The state included jiashu’s productive bodies for socialist industrialization, and excluded jiashu’s reproductive bodies as their own “burden” that should be overcome by themselves. The high-speed economic growth of socialism largely depended on the gendered division of labor and these docile socialist female bodies.
