Balancing Rites and Rights: the Social and Cultural Politics of New-Style Weddings in Republican Shanghai, 1898-1953 Balancing Rites and Rights: The Social and Cultural Politics of New-Style Weddings in Republican Shanghai, 1898-1953 By Charlotte Lucia Cowden A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, Chair Professor Andrew Barshay Professor Patricia Berger Spring 2011 Balancing Rites and Rights: The Social and Cultural Politics of New-Style Weddings in Republican Shanghai, 1898-1953 Copyright 2011 by Charlotte Lucia Cowden Abstract Balancing Rites and Rights: The Social and Cultural Politics of New-Style Weddings in Republican Shanghai, 1898-1953 by Charlotte Lucia Cowden Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, Chair During the Republican Era both ceremonial rites and legal rights were redefined simultaneously, but not necessarily in concert. This work traces the evolution and implications of the “new-style” wedding ceremony, which at its most basic was defined by the choice of one’s own spouse and the elimination of a dowry. Focusing on Shanghai, I examine the tension, negotiation and collaboration between Republican policies, market forces, and the practices of urban residents to illustrate the relative power of the fledgling state in the face of new-style ceremonies and their combined effect: a war against the traditional wedding. New ceremonial rites linked many women to new consumptive practices: this change was embodied in the rise of the bride as both an individual woman and a symbol for enlightened, urban modernity. This - and the popularity of the new-style ceremony - would not have occurred without the publication of wedding photographs in newspapers and women’s magazines. The evolution of the new-style wedding as a “pictured” event presents a parallel visual narrative that illustrates how personal ritual was presented publicly throughout the Republican Era. Here I interrogate the production and consumption of images of new-style wedding rituals and consider the power and utility of such images, both personally and politically. Previous scholarship on the Republican Era has focused on re-codification of political rituals as a new state was being made, and the power of that Republican state in the creation of new families. Until now, no work has directly engaged the linkages between the public state and personal rituals especially those that governed individuals, particularly women, in their every day lives. Traditionally, there was no necessary reason for the state to be involved in personal rituals, nor was it expected for such things to be the matter of the state. In fact, the Nationalists’ attempts to standardize, codify and enforce personal ritual were unprecedented, and represented an emphatic intervention of the state in these matters. This effort continued under Communist rule and is, I argue, no less than a defining characteristic of the Chinese state in the twentieth century. 1 Table of Contents Dedication..................................................................................................................................... iii Acknowledgements...................................................................................................................... iv List of Figures.................................................................................................................................v Chapter 1.

    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

Manchus: A Horse of a Different Color by Hannah Knight Abstract: The question of identity has been one of the biggest questions addressed to humanity. Whether in terms of a country, a group or an individual, the exact definition is almost as difficult to answer as to what constitutes a group. The Manchus, an ethnic group in China, also faced this dilemma. It was an issue that lasted throughout their entire time as rulers of the Qing Dynasty (1644- 1911) and thereafter. Though the guidelines and group characteristics changed throughout that period one aspect remained clear: they did not sinicize with the Chinese Culture. At the beginning of their rule, the Manchus implemented changes that would transform the appearance of China, bringing it closer to the identity that the world recognizes today. In the course of examining three time periods, 1644, 1911, and the 1930’s, this paper looks at the significant events of the period, the changing aspects, and the Manchus and the Qing Imperial Court’s relations with their greater Han Chinese subjects.

    Historiography and Narratives of the Later Tang (923-936) and Later Jin (936-947) Dynasties in Tenth- to Eleventh- century Sources Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophie an der Ludwig‐Maximilians‐Universität München vorgelegt von Maddalena Barenghi Aus Mailand 2014 Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Hans van Ess Zweitgutachter: Prof. Tiziana Lippiello Datum der mündlichen Prüfung: 31.03.2014 ABSTRACT Historiography and Narratives of the Later Tang (923-36) and Later Jin (936-47) Dynasties in Tenth- to Eleventh-century Sources Maddalena Barenghi This thesis deals with historical narratives of two of the Northern regimes of the tenth-century Five Dynasties period. By focusing on the history writing project commissioned by the Later Tang (923-936) court, it first aims at questioning how early-tenth-century contemporaries narrated some of the major events as they unfolded after the fall of the Tang (618-907). Second, it shows how both late- tenth-century historiographical agencies and eleventh-century historians perceived and enhanced these historical narratives. Through an analysis of selected cases the thesis attempts to show how, using the same source material, later historians enhanced early-tenth-century narratives in order to tell different stories. The five cases examined offer fertile ground for inquiry into how the different sources dealt with narratives on the rise and fall of the Shatuo Later Tang and Later Jin (936- 947). It will be argued that divergent narrative details are employed both to depict in different ways the characters involved and to establish hierarchies among the historical agents.

  • Creating Your Own Ceremony
    Your Joy ful Wedding Creating y our Own Ceremony You can create a ceremony that is unique, personal, and deeply meaningful for you and your spouse-to-be. It can also be moving, beautiful, and fun for your guests. It takes some thought and creativity, but there are resources to help you. Here are some ideas to get you started. Explore your heritages Most people, if they are willing to look far enough back, will find traditions from their past that can bring a very personal and meaningful flavor to the ceremony. For example, you could acknowledge your grandparents’ Indian background by wearing henna tattoos on your hands and feet. Make choices that reflect your relationship Wedding songs are a traditional way to express your feelings for one another. Your special song can be included, even if it’s Alanis Morissette’s “Head Over Feet”! One couple left the church to “When I’m 64” by the Beatles. Another sang “Unforgettable” to each other. Special phrases can also be a part of the service. If you have a way of expressing your love each other (“I’ll love you to infinity and beyond” or the sign language symbol for “I love you”), it can be woven into the message, a prayer, or your vows. Share parts of your relationship When you choose someone to perform your wedding, talk with him or her about your relationship. Your celebrant can then create a message that is personal to you. Your guests will also enjoy hearing stories about your relationship. You can start your wedding by personally welcoming everyone and telling a little about your journey to the altar.

It argues that Chern’s and Hua’s motivations and choices in regard to their transnational movements between China and the US were more nuanced and multifaceted than what is presented in existing accounts, and that socio-political factors combined with professional-personal ones to shape their decisions. The paper further uses their experiences to demonstrate the importance of transnational scientific interactions for the development of science in China, the US, and elsewhere in the twentieth century. Keywords: Shiing-shen Chern, Chen Xingshen, Hua Luogeng, Loo-Keng Hua, Institute for 1 This article was copy-edited by Charlie Zaharoff. 2 Research interests: History of science and technology in the United States, China, and transnational contexts in the twentieth century.

  • Transformation of the Dualistic International Order Into the Modern Treaty System in the Sino-Korean Relationship
    International Journal of Korean History (Vol.15 No.2, Aug.2010) 97 G Transformation of the Dualistic International Order into the Modern Treaty System in the Sino-Korean Relationship Song Kue-jin* IntroductionG G Whether in the regional or global scale, the international order can be defined as a unique system within which international issues develop and the diplomatic relations are preserved within confined time periods. The one who has leadership in such international order is, in actuality, the superpowers regardless of the rationale for their leading positions, and the orderliness of the system is determined by their political and economic prowess.1 The power that led East Asia in the pre-modern era was China. The pre- modern East Asian regional order is described as the tribute system. The tribute system is built on the premise of installation, so it was important that China designate and proclaim another nation as a tributary state. The system was not necessarily a one-way imposition; it is possible to view the system built on mutual consent as the tributary state could benefit from China’s support and preserve the domestic order at times of political instability to person in power.
