I Abstract British luxury automotive (ILA) corporations have not, as yet, fully grasped the cultural preferences of the Chinese consumer. Branding is an inescapable part of modern design, consumption, global markets, and indeed culture. It creates and sustains competitive advantages for firms and finally delivers profits. This research is conducted by understanding the cultural meaning of “luxury mobility” in China via semiotics. The research objectives are to investigate this phenomenon from a semiotic perspective and explain how the cultural meanings of “luxury mobility” and consumer preferences of automobiles are connected in China. This research chooses semiotics as the primary analysis method as semiotics’ emergent role, a study of the sign, in the design and branding field. This research will identify the syntagmatic structure of mobility and useful paradigm of luxury artefacts associated with mobility in China through semiotics analysis. Finally, the study will develop the semiotics-based practical guidelines for ILA corporations’ design and branding strategies seeking to either break into or improve their existing position in the Chinese automotive market.

Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.

    On the Periphery of a Great “Empire”: Secondary Formation of States and Their Material Basis in the Shandong Peninsula during the Late Bronze Age, ca. 1000-500 B.C.E Minna Wu Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMIBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 @2013 Minna Wu All rights reserved ABSTRACT On the Periphery of a Great “Empire”: Secondary Formation of States and Their Material Basis in the Shandong Peninsula during the Late Bronze-Age, ca. 1000-500 B.C.E. Minna Wu The Shandong region has been of considerable interest to the study of ancient China due to its location in the eastern periphery of the central culture. For the Western Zhou state, Shandong was the “Far East” and it was a vast region of diverse landscape and complex cultural traditions during the Late Bronze-Age (1000-500 BCE). In this research, the developmental trajectories of three different types of secondary states are examined. The first type is the regional states established by the Zhou court; the second type is the indigenous Non-Zhou states with Dong Yi origins; the third type is the states that may have been formerly Shang polities and accepted Zhou rule after the Zhou conquest of Shang. On the one hand, this dissertation examines the dynamic social and cultural process in the eastern periphery in relation to the expansion and colonization of the Western Zhou state; on the other hand, it emphasizes the agency of the periphery during the formation of secondary states by examining how the polities in the periphery responded to the advances of the Western Zhou state and how local traditions impacted the composition of the local material assemblage which lay the foundation for the future prosperity of the regional culture.

  • CHAPTER 1 the BASIC ARGUMENT A. It Was the Sixth Year of The
    CHAPTER 1 THE BASIC ARGUMENT a. It was the sixth year of the shiyuan era1, when an imperial edict directed the Chancellor and the Imperial secretaries to confer with the recommended Worthies and Literati2, and to enquire of them as to the rankling grievances among the people. b. The Literati responded as follows: It is our humble opinion that the principle of ruling lies in forestalling wantonness while extending the elementals of virtue, in discouraging mercantile pursuits while inspiring benevolence and righteousness. Let lucre never be paraded before the eyes of the people; only then will enlightenment flourish and mores improve. c. But now with the salt, iron, and alcohol monopolies, as well as equalizing distribution3 established in the commanderies and feudal states, the government has entered into financial competition with the people, destroying natural simplicity and innocence, while fostering selfishness and greed. As a result, few among our people take up the foundation of livelihood4, while many flock to the non-essential offshoots5. When embellishment is overwrought, it weakens the core substance; when the branches are overgrown, then the foundation is eroded. When the non-essential offshoots are cultivated, the people become frivolous; when the foundation is developed, the people are simple and guileless. The people being simple, wealth will abound; when the people are extravagant, cold and hunger will follow. We pray that the salt, iron, and alcohol monopolies and the system of equalizing distribution be abolished so that the principal industries may be encouraged while secondary occupations thwarted, and agriculture broadly benefited. d. The Lord Grand Secretary said: When the Xiongnu rebelled against our authority and frequently raided and devastated the frontier settlements, to be constantly on the watch for them was a great strain upon the military of the Middle Kingdom; but without measures of precaution, these forays and depredations would never cease.

  • Interpreters' Identities
    TranscUlturAl, vol.1, 2(2009), 93-116 93 http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/TC Interpreters’ Identities: An Exploratory Study of Vietnamese Interpreters in Vietnam Dr. Elisabeth Le, University of Alberta Dr. Nathan Ménard, University of Montreal Dr. Nguyen Van Nhan, University of Ha Noi Throughout history, interpreters have suffered from the suspicion attached to their perceived multiple cultural belongings (Kaufman): how could they possibly be faithful to their cultural group and serve their master dutifully when they are demonstrating their belonging to another culture (i.e. in translating into the language of that other culture)? Paradoxically, the knowledge of several languages may have been prestigious, but only if put to the benefit of oneself and not of others. Thus, it is the position of intermediary (and not the knowledge of different languages) that is the essential cause of this mistrust. Considering our necessarily limited knowledge of foreign languages and the multiplication of contacts between cultures, interpreters have always been necessary; and despite the “international” status that one or two languages may enjoy or develop, this need is not likely to disappear. Unfortunately, the uneasiness towards interpreters remains; one way to dispel the suspicion brought by their intermediary position is for interpreters to “disappear”. To make sure that they do not “betray their masters”, interpreters have been instructed to become “invisible”. To see, or check, how this is done, many interpreting studies have focused on the message transmitted by interpreters, i.e. what and how interpreters translate, what they add or delete and how. When speaking with interpreters, it is amazing to hear how a number of them in the same breath proclaim their allegiance to “invisibility” (as they have been duly instructed) and describe various ways in which they are visible in their professional practice.

  • A New Examination of Confucius' Rectification of Names
    Journal of chinese humanities � (���6) �47-�7� brill.com/joch A New Examination of Confucius’ Rectification of Names Cao Feng (曹峰) Professor of Philosophy, Renmin University, China [email protected] Translated by Brook Hefright Abstract Confucius’ explanation of the “rectification of names” is not necessarily related to the theories of “social status” and “names and actuality.” The reason scholars have inter- preted the rectification of names in the Analects in so many different ways is, to a large degree, due to assumptions about Confucius’ thinking by his successors, and based on the views on rectification of names among later generations. In the course of the devel- opment of thinking about names, scholars have augmented Confucius’ own explana- tion, gradually fleshing it out from an empty shell into a substantial edifice. The original meaning may have been very simple: Confucius did not wish to establish a standard system of names. Rather, he was simply the first person in history to realize the impor- tance of language in politics. As a politician, Confucius noticed and foresaw the influ- ence that the indeterminacy, ambiguity, and arbitrariness of names could have on politics. He discerned the political consequences when language could not accurately express meaning or when there was no way for people to accurately perceive it. He also recognized how names, as a way of clarifying right and wrong and establishing norms, could have a great effect on a society’s politics. Although Confucius noted that disunity in speech could lead to disunity in politics, he did not propose a solution.
