    V2-TheatreRev_OPUS_7_1.qxp copy.qxp 03/04/2019 16:02 Page 136 THEATRE REVIEW Chimerica by Lucy Kirkwood, first performed at the Almeda Theatre, London, 20 May, 2013; transferred to Harold Pinter Theatre, London, 6 August, 2013. Revived at Studio Theater, Washington DC, September/October, 2015 Reviewed by David Scharff* “In ancient Greek myth, a ‘chimera’ was a fire-breathing monster with a lion’s head and a serpent’s tail. In Lucy Kirkwood’s drama, (2013) Chimerica is something bigger and scarier than that. The word was origi- nally coined by historian Niall Ferguson to describe the globally dominant, co-dependent relationship between trigger-happy spendthrift America and control-freak, money-grabbing China” (McGinn, 2013). Chimerica opens with the iconic photograph of Tiananmen Square, 4 June, 1989. We see the “Tank Man” who blocked the advance of a tank towards the protesters, his back to us. A shopping bag in each hand, he faces the tank, which then refuses to run him down. The playwright’s script instructions read, “It is a photograph of one country by another country.” Cultural and political encounter is the theme of the play, played out in the fictional and intensely personal portrait of two denizens of cultures that are in conflict and contrast in so many ways. Joe Schofield, who took the photo as a neophyte news photographer at the age of nineteen, now seeks to find the legendary, if now all but forgotten, “Tank Man” twenty-three years later, just as, in America, Obama seeks re-election against Mitt Romney. In the play, Joe tries to sell his editor a story about investigating whether the tank man is still alive, presumably living now in the US.

The following is a re-telling of the making of that statue, originally published in the book Children of Dragon, by a sculptor named Cao Xinyuan: Nothing excites a sculptor as much as seeing a work of her own creation take shape. But although I was watching the creation of a sculpture that I had had no part in making, I nevertheless felt the same excitement. It was the "Goddess of Democracy" statue that stood for five days in Tiananmen Square. Until last year I was a graduate student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, where the sculpture was made. I was living there when these events took place. 点击图像去Amazon购买 Students and faculty of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, which is located only a short distance from Tiananmen Square, had from the beginning been actively involved in the demonstrations.

  • China Ranks Number One Or Does It? Should We Care?
    China Ranks Number One or Does It? Should We Care? Povolny Lecture Series in International Studies, Lawrence University February 19, 2015 Merton D. Finkler, Ph.D. In my talk, I address the five questions: 1. What does China Ranked #1 mean? 2. Is being #1 part of the “China Dream?” 3. Will China’s economy dominate the 21st century? 4. Does economic dominance matter? 5. How should the US and the rest of the world respond to China’s rising economic power? In October 2014, the International Monetary published a report indicating that in purchasing power parity terms, China had passed the United States as the world’s largest economy. The British weekly the Economist put this observation in historical perspective by showing that China ranked as the world’s largest economy for all but the last two hundred years. http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21623758-chinas-back Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) calculations recognize that income when translated into a common currency buys different amounts of goods in different countries based on the prices local residents pay for these goods. Thus, PPP can be useful for portraying income per capita across countries to measure how people’s living standards vary across countries. Such calculations, of course, require a variety of assumptions regarding which goods and services to include and at what prices. Such details won’t be my focus today because, in GDP per capita terms, China is a middle income country at roughly $7,000 per capita versus $52,000 in the US. When adjusted for purchasing power, China’s income per capita rises to about $12,000 roughly the same level as Columbia, the Dominican Republic, and Jordan.

  • Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance
    Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance Zheyu Wei A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of Creative Arts The University of Dublin, Trinity College 2017 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library Conditions of use and acknowledgement. ___________________ Zheyu Wei ii Summary This thesis is a study of Chinese experimental theatre from the year 1990 to the year 2014, to examine the involvement of Chinese theatre in the process of globalisation – the increasingly intensified relationship between places that are far away from one another but that are connected by the movement of flows on a global scale and the consciousness of the world as a whole. The central argument of this thesis is that Chinese post-Cold War experimental theatre has been greatly influenced by the trend of globalisation. This dissertation discusses the work of a number of representative figures in the “Little Theatre Movement” in mainland China since the 1980s, e.g. Lin Zhaohua, Meng Jinghui, Zhang Xian, etc., whose theatrical experiments have had a strong impact on the development of contemporary Chinese theatre, and inspired a younger generation of theatre practitioners. Through both close reading of literary and visual texts, and the inspection of secondary texts such as interviews and commentaries, an overview of performances mirroring the age-old Chinese culture’s struggle under the unprecedented modernising and globalising pressure in the post-Cold War period will be provided.

  • The Memory of Tiananmen 1989
    Timeline The Memory of Tiananmen 1989 The spring of 1989 saw the largest pro-democracy demonstration in the history of China's communist regime. The following timeline tracks how the protests began in April among university students in Beijing, spread across the nation, and ended on June 4 with a final deadly assault by an estimated force of 300,000 soldiers from People's Liberation Army (PLA). Throughout these weeks, China's top leaders were deeply divided over how to handle the unrest, with one faction advocating peaceful negotiation and another demanding a crackdown. Excerpts from their statements, drawn from The Tiananmen Papers, reveal these internal divisions. Related Features April 17 Newspaper Headlines About the "Tank Man" Mourners flock to Tiananmen Gate.

These include relatives of victims who demand redress and eyewitnesses to the massacre and its aftermath whose testimonies contradict the official version of events. Even those who merely seek to honor the memory of the late Zhao Ziyang, the secretary general of the Communist Party of China in 1989 who was sacked and placed under house arrest for opposing violence against the demonstrators, find themselves subject to reprisals.

Actualízate con toda la información que necesitas saber sobre las series más interesantes que sigues y más Publicado: Martes 04 septiembre 2018 | 09:26:27 pm. Publicado por: José Luis Estrada Betancourt Como mismo aseguraba el Bárbaro del Ritmo cuando le cantaba a Cienfuegos, Chicago es la ciudad que más le gusta a Dick Wolf, uno de los productores estrella de la televisión en abierto estadounidense, junto con Greg Berlanti (Everwood, Arrow, Flash...) y Shonda Rhimes (Anatomía de Grey, Práctica Privada, Escándalo, Cómo salvarse de un crimen). Adorado en el mundo entero por ser el creador de la franquicia La ley y el orden, que arrancara en 1990 (compartiendo con el oeste Gunsmoke el récord de ser el drama más añejo de la pequeña pantalla en esa nación), el también guionista de cine decidió abandonar el escenario de Nueva York para instalarse a partir de 2012 en la llamada Ciudad de los Vientos. Así surgió Chicago Fire, la niña de los ojos de la cadena NBC, cuando La ley y el orden: Los Ángeles dejó de funcionar. Entonces Wolf tuvo la brillante idea de dejar «enfriar» un poco el sistema judicial norteamericano y retomar lo que antes había hecho Turno de guardia, centrándose en el universo de los bomberos y los paramédicos, de seguro convencido de que tras el capítulo piloto de esta serie procedimental tendría un ejército de fans.
