ABSTRACT Dá!a Pejchar Mortensen: The History of Gyalthang Under Chinese Rule: Memory, Identity, and Contested Control in a Tibetan Region of Northwest Yunnan (Under the direction of Michael Tsin) This dissertation analyzes how the Chinese Communist Party attempted to politically, economically, and culturally integrate Gyalthang (Zhongdian/Shangri-la), a predominately ethnically Tibetan county in Yunnan Province, into the People’s Republic of China. Drawing from county and prefectural gazetteers, unpublished Party histories of the area, and interviews conducted with Gyalthang residents, this study argues that Tibetans participated in Communist Party campaigns in Gyalthang in the 1950s and 1960s for a variety of ideological, social, and personal reasons. The ways that Tibetans responded to revolutionary activists’ calls for political action shed light on the difficult decisions they made under particularly complex and coercive conditions. Political calculations, revolutionary ideology, youthful enthusiasm, fear, and mob mentality all played roles in motivating Tibetan participants in Mao-era campaigns. The diversity of these Tibetan experiences and the extent of local involvement in state-sponsored attacks on religious leaders and institutions in Gyalthang during the Cultural Revolution have been largely left out of the historiographical record. This dissertation claims that, over the past two decades, the Chinese Communist Party’s attempts to control historical memory, the government’s promotion of ethnic tourism in Gyalthang, and elderly Tibetans’ reluctance to discuss their involvement in past atrocities have contributed to the effacement of these diverse Cultural Revolution narratives. iii! ! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During my time in graduate school and in the process of writing this dissertation, many people kindly gave me assistance, advice, support, and encouragement. First and foremost, I would like to thank my dissertation advisor, Michael Tsin, for his guidance, wisdom, and mentorship at every stage of my graduate career. I would also like to express my gratitude to Michelle King for all of her valuable feedback and encouragement over the years. Her intellectual creativity and devotion to her students is truly inspiring. Ralph Litzinger provided me with crucial guidance when I first started researching ethnic tourism in China during my graduate studies at Duke University. I am very grateful for his continued support as I researched and wrote this dissertation. My other committee members, Miles Fletcher and Don Reid, also gave generously of their time and their insightful comments added considerable depth to this project. I would like to thank the many librarians, researchers, and professors at Yunnan University, Yunnan Nationalities University, and the Yunnan Provincial Library who assisted me in obtaining articles, books, and documents, and opened my mind to new ways of thinking about the Cultural Revolution. Likewise, I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to those who so generously shared their fascinating life histories, unpublished manuscripts, photo albums, and private libraries with me during my time in Gyalthang. Many friends in Gyalthang also kindly provided me with introductions to their elderly relatives and acquaintances and helped me translate Tibetan texts. Although I regret that due to political reasons I cannot directly name any of these people here, I trust that they realize that they have my deep appreciation. iv! ! I have been extremely fortunate to have benefitted from the guidance and support of many other scholars, librarians, teachers, and colleagues across the world, including Hsi-chu Bolick, Yudru Tsomu, David Atwill, Zhihong Chen, Ellen Bartee, Ben Hillman, Robbie Barnett, Charlene Makley, Benno Weiner, Chris Lee, Lisa Lindsay, and Zach Smith. I would like to thank Jason Lees, Bai Wenrui, Amy Wright, and Lu Yuan for taking such good care of my family and providing us with lodging and wonderful companionship over the course of many years in Yunnan. I am extremely grateful to the Jacob K. Javits Foundation for funding my graduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and for making it possible for me to carry out lengthy dissertation research in China. Funding from the Department of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in the form of a Wadell Fellowship, a Clifford Fellowship, and a Mowry and Clein Fellowship, made it financially feasible for me to carry out successive summers of pre-dissertation and dissertation research in Yunnan Province. I am also very appreciative of the Center for Global Intitiatives and the Phillips Ambassador Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for funding my pre-dissertation research in libraries and universities in Kunming. The American Historical Association and the China and Inner Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies provided additional research funding. I would also like to thank the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation and the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation for generously funding my final year of dissertation writing. I do not know where to begin thanking my family for their unwavering support of my studies, my desire to travel and live abroad, and my goal of completing this dissertation project. My parents, Jan and Linda, have always offered their love and encouragement, and my sister, Liba, has been the best lifelong friend one could ever hope for. No one, however, has suffered v! ! the trials and tribulations of this dissertation more selflessly than my partner, Eric, who has supported and encouraged me through every step of my graduate career. He has been my loyal friend, intellectual companion, and partner-in-parenting all at the same time, and without him this project simply would not have been possible. Our beautiful son, Søren, was born into this world shortly before I embarked on my studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and eight years later his energy, laughter, creativity, and love continue to magically affect all those around him. Of all of the people who have contributed to this project, I owe my deepest and most profound gratitude to Eric and Søren. I dedicate this dissertation to them. vi! !

    Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2014 © 2013 William M. Coleman, IV All rights reserved Abstract Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV This dissertation analyzes the process of state building by Qing imperial representatives and Republican state officials in Batang, a predominantly ethnic Tibetan region located in southwestern Sichuan Province. Utilizing Chinese provincial and national level archival materials and Tibetan language works, as well as French and American missionary records and publications, it explores how Chinese state expansion evolved in response to local power and has three primary arguments. First, by the mid-nineteenth century, Batang had developed an identifiable structure of local governance in which native chieftains, monastic leaders, and imperial officials shared power and successfully fostered peace in the region for over a century. Second, the arrival of French missionaries in Batang precipitated a gradual expansion of imperial authority in the region, culminating in radical Qing military intervention that permanently altered local understandings of power. While short-lived, centrally-mandated reforms initiated soon thereafter further integrated Batang into the Qing Empire, thereby

  • My Visits to the Hmong in the Triangle of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan
    A Hmong Scholar’s Visit to China: the Hmong in the Triangle of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan by Kou Yang Nyob luag ntuj yoog luag txuj, nyob luag av yoog luag tsav (‘In Rome be like the Romans’--- Hmong proverb) I have made a few visits to the Hmong of the triangle of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan, and will highlight below two of these visits: the visit in August 2009 to the Hmong of Qianxi (黔西),and my 2014 visit to the Hmong of Xingwen, Gong xian, Junlian, Gulin, Xuyong, Yanjin, Yiliang and Zhaotong. In early August 2009, I led a group of international scholars of Hmong studies to do a post conference visit to the Hmong/Miao in Guizhou Province, China. This visit was under the auspices and sponsorship of the Guizhou Miao Studies Association (also known as the Miao Cultural Development Association), and the guidance of its Vice-President, Professor Zhang Xiao. The group visited both Qiandongnan (Southeast Guizhou) and Qianxi (West Guizhou) Hmong/Miao of Guizou. The visit was my third trip to Qiandongnan, so it was not so special because I had previously written about and travelled to many areas within Qiandongnan. Moreover, Qiandongnan has been Guizhou’s premier cultural tourist region for decades; the Hmu represent the largest sub-group of the Miao in Qiandongnan. The language of the Hmu belongs to the Eastern branch of the Miao language. Economically, educationally, and politically, the Hmu are much better off than the Hmong and Ah Mao, who speak the Western branch of the Miao language. For example, I met with so many politicians, bureaucrats and professors of Hmu ancestry in Guiyang, but only one professor of Hmong descent.

  • Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 12-12.50 P.M
    EALC 352g: Chinese Literature and Culture Modern Chinese Literature in Comparative Perspective Spring 2016 Lectures: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 12-12.50 p.m. Taper Hall of Humanities (THH) 116 Instructor: Géraldine Fiss, Ph.D., [email protected] Office Hours: THH 356J, Monday and Wednesday 2-4 p.m. and by appointment Teaching Assistant: Yunwen Gao ([email protected]) Scope of the Course: This course is an analysis of the changing literary and cultural patterns in modern and contemporary China. By engaging in close analyses of fiction, poetry, drama and literary thought from the late Qing period to the present, we will trace the changes that have occurred in China beginning in the late 19th century, throughout the 20th century and into the 21st century. The course sheds light on various transforming phases in which the influx of Western thought merges with persisting classical Chinese aesthetics to mold the form and content of modern Chinese literature, especially in fiction and poetry. The class will cover the socialist process in China since 1949 by focusing on key cultural-political movements, leading to the emergence of dissident writers. Simultaneously, the class will impose a genuine emphasis on the continuity of diverging literary practices in Taiwan where modernism is conspicuously and actively attended. We will also explore the unique situation of Hong Kong literature 1 and other “marginal” spheres within the Chinese cultural realm, such as contemporary Tibetan writers. Throughout the course, we will delineate the various modes of modernist innovation and experimentation that are taking place in Chinese literary art. We will also examine the nature and evolution of modern Chinese women’s consciousness and women’s writing.
