The Society of Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasty Studies Appreciates the Generous Contributions of Frank Wang and Laura Young, Through the Wang Family Foundation The Society of Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasty Studies appreciates the generous contributions of Frank Wang and Laura Young, through the Wang Family Foundation. Through their support the Society has been able to make electronic copy of the initial volumes of the Sung Studies Newsletter and the Journal of Song Yuan Studies available in the public domain. Please Note: Because this newsletter was converted to a text-searchable format rather than scanned as a series of graphics images of the pages, it is not identical to the originally published version. The formatting has been corrected to reflect the page breaks in the original newsletter. As a result, pages may end abruptly in the middle (or even beginning) of a line. Moreover, the initial scanning converted characters to their simplified form. They have been restored to the traditional form, but some errors may have been introduced in the process. 13 SUNG STUDIES NEWSLETTER Number 13, 1977 Bibliography of Chinese Periodical Literature, 1976 113 Bibliography of Recent Japanese Scholarship 122 General Editor Addendum to “Bibliography of Western Language Sources on the Sung” Charles A.

Equally important, for an enterprise lacking any permanent staff, the sheer in this field. May I remind you, however, that the Newsletter is dependent not only labor of assembling the material for two issues a year is to say the least on your reading but also on your writing support? We are always in need of excessive. Indeed, as long as the SSN is edited by individuals serving in full-time information bearing on bibliography, research projects, professional activities and faculty positions, it is difficult to imagine how, without regular editorial assistance, the like, and not least we need good manuscripts. more than one respectable issue could be published per year.

For example, the present issue goes well beyong doubling the former average size of a single number. (Of course the size of any particular issue is always dependent on the availability of publishable material.) The major disadvantage of the new schedule is that useful announcements and bibliographic information may not reach readers quite as early as they may have need for them. The change does, however, have important implications for treatment of the "conquest dynasties" of Liao, Chin and Yüan. The publication of but one issue per year means no special supplement for those dynasties such as the issue published as no.10. As the present issue indicates, material on them will be integrated with that on the Sung. Students of late Yüan history might conceivably object, but I cannot seriously entertain the idea that there are many Yüan specialists who are not also interested in important aspects of Sung history. There will, incidentally, be no inclination to feature work on one dynasty over that on another; the material will decide.

  • Kile Theater Syllabus Spring 2014 1 21
    The Many Faces of Chinese Opera EAST 1950Y, Spring 2014 Wednesdays, 3-5:20, Sayles Hall 305 Professor Sarah E. Kile Office location: Gerard House, 205 East Asian Studies Office Hours: M 2-4, or by appointment Email: [email protected] Course Description: “Chinese opera” denotes several hundred regional variations of a performance art form that comprises sung arias with musical accompaniment, spoken dialogue, stylized movements, and elaborate costumes and make-up. Originating in the elite leisure spaces of early modern China, the best known versions of this art form are Peking opera (jingju), which coalesced in Beijing in the late 18th century, and Kun opera, which originated near Suzhou in the 16th century. In this course, we will examine literary dramatic texts from the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368) to the present, learn about the aesthetics and politics of these textual and performance traditions, and consider theater culture within its social, economic, and historical contexts. The course begins in the present, examining the forms and politics of global experiments with “traditional Chinese opera” in the 20th and 21st centuries. We will explore audio and visual recordings of stage performances of traditional opera, considering how these traditional art forms have been modernized. We then turn to the 16th and 17th centuries, considering how traditional Chinese theater culture develops its print practices, performance priorities, gender protocols, and political import. The course will culminate in a research paper in which you will further explore one of the topics we have discussed in class. All readings will be in English, and all films will be screened with subtitles or other accommodations.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. A Metonymic Translation: Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle Liu Xiaoqing The Caucasian Chalk Circle is one of the most important works of the German playwright Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956). It is also one of the most widely performed modern plays in the West. However, this critically acclaimed play is not purely Brecht’s “originality” but is indebted to an ancient Chinese play, Li Xingdao’s Hui Lan Ji ♄䯥䆄 (The Story of the Circle of Chalk).1 Brecht acknowledged his adaptation in the prologue of The Caucasian Chalk Circle in the voice of the singer: “It is called ‘The Chalk Circle’ and comes from the Chinese. But we’ll do it, of course, in a changed version” (Brecht 1983, 126). The “changed version” Brecht made was for the Broadway stage during his exile in America.

We are delighted to have you back! One of the founding principles of Antaeus is that we are an ensemble and few plays speak to that aesthetic more than Bertolt Brecht’s masterwork, The Caucasian Chalk Circle. The idea for the production came out of the “Antaeus Project”, where actors can bring forward plays and use the Library to explore and study them with other members. Ensemble member and former Co-Artistic Director, John Apicella, led the charge on this one and you will see him onstage tonight. The Caucasian Chalk Circle is a homecoming for us. We did Brecht’s Mother Courage and Her Children 14 years ago. Antaeus member, and director, Stephanie Shroyer is back with us for the first time since Tonight at 8:30 in 2007.

The changing empires over time (as well as the "shifting sands" of the geographic landmass) made it difficult to consider this as a single area. Moreover, the cultural exchanges which took place across this landmass, the transport of ideas as well as goods, and the "timelessness" as well as the contemporary relevance, all make the task even more difficult to categorize. A person can enter a bazaar, which is "centerless," from many directions and wander through, exiting from a totally different door. The plan is to enter the bazaar delineated in this resource guide through any of these gates: the early history of inner Asia; the Silk Road; the Mongol Empire; Islam; playing the Great Game; or in the modern period.
