    Christian Women and the Making of a Modern Chinese Family: an Exploration of Nü duo 女鐸, 1912–1951 Zhou Yun A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University February 2019 © Copyright by Zhou Yun 2019 All Rights Reserved Except where otherwise acknowledged, this thesis is my own original work. Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Benjamin Penny for his valuable suggestions and constant patience throughout my five years at The Australian National University (ANU). His invitation to study for a Doctorate at Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) not only made this project possible but also kindled my academic pursuit of the history of Christianity. Coming from a research background of contemporary Christian movements among diaspora Chinese, I realise that an appreciation of the present cannot be fully achieved without a thorough study of the past. I was very grateful to be given the opportunity to research the Republican era and in particular the development of Christianity among Chinese women. I wish to thank my two co-advisers—Dr. Wei Shuge and Dr. Zhu Yujie—for their time and guidance. Shuge’s advice has been especially helpful in the development of my thesis. Her honest critiques and insightful suggestions demonstrated how to conduct conscientious scholarship. I would also like to extend my thanks to friends and colleagues who helped me with my research in various ways. Special thanks to Dr. Caroline Stevenson for her great proof reading skills and Dr. Paul Farrelly for his time in checking the revised parts of my thesis.

This new location is certainly bearing fruit, with average attendance over the year on track to double. Many visitors, from abroad and from other French regions in particular, are finding their way to the Fondation more easily. The summer opening seems to have welcomed a foreign audience but also many Parisians spending August in the city. The design of the highly adaptable space has accommodated four very different settings, allowing the content of exhibitions to be presented in parallel with Henri Cartier-Bresson’s archives. The Pearls from the Archives programme, initiated with the Fondation’s Collections department, captures visitors’ attention, giving them an insight into the unique personality of Henri Cartier-Bresson.

    Volume 16 (2009), Article 1 http://chinajapan.org/articles/16/1 Liu Jianhui . "Purorgu" (Prologue). In Mato Shanhai: Nihon chishikijin no “kindai” taiken (Demon capital Shanghai: The "modern" experience of Japanese intellectuals), trans. Joshua A. Fogel (Tokyo: Kdansha, 2000), 5-26. Sino-Japanese Studies 16 (2009), article 1. Abstract: In this introduction to his study of the role of Shanghai in the Japanese experience of modernity, Liu Jianhui lays out the contours of where the oddity that is Shanghai between the Treaty of Nanjing (1842) and the end of WWII came from. With spheres carved out of the city by Britain, France, and the United States on one side and the walled Chinese city of Shanghai on the other, there were two competing images that confronted the latecomer Japanese to the city.

In fact, this extraordinary English expression denotes someone kidnapped and impressed into service as a low-level sailor. A look in any dictionary under “Shanghai” reveals that, in addition to its meaning a port city in China, it bears the additional slang meaning, when used as a verb, of seamen getting someone drunk, taking him on board ship, abducting him, and coercing him into service as a sailor.

    Crime and Security in Shanghai’s French Concession, 1919-1937 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Olivia Hunter When Charles de Montigny arrived in Shanghai in 1847 and made his home in the “shed” that was to become the French Consulate, he was accompanied only by his family and a Polish translator.101 He at once became the defender of Catholic missionaries and their flocks throughout China. Whenever he heard of Catholics in trouble, he would rush off, sometimes putting his life in danger, to protect them.102 When explaining his seemingly reckless activities to the French Minister, he stressed that religious zeal did not guide his actions: “‘Allow me to repeat, Minister, all the missionaries here are instruments of the future preponderance and success of France…It is not religious sentiment that prompts me to speak and act in their favor…but the interests of my country.’”103 Montigny, who established the French Concession and served as its first Consul-General, is credited with impacting the policies and character of the Concession for decades after his administration ended. Indeed, the French authorities in Shanghai continued to be more concerned with having a foot in the colonial

  • The Cultural Politics of Introducing Popular Music Into China’S Music Education
    1 The Cultural Politics of Introducing Popular Music into China’s Music Education The Cultural Politics of Introducing Popular Music into China’s Music Education Wai-Chung Ho and Wing-Wah Law Since embarking on its course of economic reform and opening up to the world in the late 1970s, China has moved from a planned economy to a socialist-market economy; the resultant social and cultural changes have been many, and are reflected in the country’s school music curriculum. This paper first introduces the historical background of popular music in the community and in school music in China in the twentieth century. Second, it explores the reform of music education that has, from the turn of the millennium, included popular music in school music education. This is followed by a discussion of the integration of popular music into the school curriculum in terms of how music education and cultural politics are shaped by the social and political relationships between: (i) contemporary cultural and social values and traditional Chinese ideologies; (ii) collectivism and individualism; and (iii) nationalism and globalism. It is argued that, despite the introduction of popular music and the emphasis put on it in some areas of school music education, the Chinese state still uses traditional Chinese culture and values to enhance its legitimacy and consolidate its authority. 2 The Cultural Politics of Introducing Popular Music into China’s Music Education Introduction In modern urban mass societies, popular culture has developed as a result of industrial mass production and the introduction of new technologies of sound and image broadcasting and recording.
