  • Propaganda and Memory in Li Kunwu and Philippe Ôtié's a Chinese Life
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 42.1 March 2016: 99-118 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.2016.42.1.05 Propaganda and Memory in Li Kunwu and Philippe Ôtié’s A Chinese Life Jeffrey Mather Department of English City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, S.A.R. Abstract A Chinese Life is a graphic autobiography first published in France as Une vie chinoise in three separate volumes between 2009 and 2011. With a single volume English translation appearing in 2012, the work has reached a global audience and speaks to a growing interest in the graphic narrative form as a mode through which comics artists are able to explore questions of identity, politics, and memory. Documenting the life of a Communist Party member who faces severe personal adversity and struggles to maintain his faith in Party ideals, A Chinese Life is a work that addresses issues of history and memory on both personal and political levels. The result is a provocative, sometimes unsatisfying, account that speaks to larger underlying problems of cultural memory and narrating Chinese history, particularly as this history is translated and negotiated across national and political borders. Keywords graphic autobiography; propaganda and memory; memory studies; collaborative autobiography; A Chinese Life Images are printed by courtesy of Mediatoon Foreign Rights. 100 Concentric March 2016 History is the raw material of nationalistic or ethnic or fundamentalist ideologies, as poppies are the raw material of heroin addiction. —Eric Hobsbawm On History In a discussion of Asia’s troubled history, and in the context of the “textbook wars” that have emerged in Japan and elsewhere in Asia, historian Tessa Morris- Suzuki suggests that contestations around historical memory need to be considered beyond the textbook and in relation to a wide range of cultural forms.

  • Sinitic Language and Script in East Asia: Past and Present
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 264 December, 2016 Sinitic Language and Script in East Asia: Past and Present edited by Victor H. Mair Victor H. 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.

He and a French diplomat and writer, Philippe Otie, teamed up to create this book that spans five decades of Li’s life. This memoir was originally published in French. The book is divided into three parts. Book I: The Time of the Father The first book starts in 1950, with the meeting of Li’s parents in Yunnan province. Li’s father is 25, and Li’s mother is 17. Li himself was born in 1955, and he and his little sister are raised in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan. As they were growing up, they were taught to revere Mao Zedong. In 1958, the Great Leap Forward campaign began, and readers see through Li’s eyes of how his countrymen turned their homes into barren wasteland as they did a “backyard Industrial Revolution” to catch up with the British and the Americans. Schoolchildren even contributed to this revolution by killing mosquitoes, catching rats, and scaring off birds out of their crops. Not only were their lands getting damaged, but folklores and customs of old China were becoming forbidden as the Chinese tried to become “modern”.

Now he's come back home armed with nothing but a set of nunchucks, a hell-bent-for-leather attitude and one dark secret, to find nothing much has changed on The Rez - short of a glimmering new casino, and a once-proud people overcome by drugs and organized crime.

  • Une Espérance Pour Notre Temps : Le Foisonnement De L'interculturel Et De
    Le Langage et l’Homme, vol. XLIX, n° 2 (décembre 2014) Une espérance pour notre temps : Le foisonnement de l’interculturel et de l’interreligieux Chine – Occident (aire francophone) Pierre YERLES Professeur émerite de l’Université catholique de Louvain Il n’y a guère si longtemps qu’il était de rigueur ou de mise de se méfier voire de se gausser, et à juste titre, des diverses formes occidentales d’assemblage syncrétique interculturel et interreligieux effectuées sur base de matériaux asiatiques, dont la vogue du « New Age » fut, quelques décennies durant, l’illustration la plus voyante. Et il est vrai que, quand bien même cette vogue du « New Age » en disait long sur la dévaluation du discours culturel ou religieux occidental traditionnel, elle s’accompagnait de tant de dérives marchandes ou d’appropriations caricaturales des matériaux dont elle s’enorgueillissait, qu’il y avait bien lieu de tenir en suspicion ce bric-à-brac de religiosité ou de sous-culture postmoderne. Je voudrais soutenir ici, en relevant et examinant pour l’essentiel des liens plus récents, établis depuis notre ancrage de culture francophone, avec les cultures ou les religions chinoises , que le temps est venu de se réjouir de ce qui apparaît désormais comme un véritable foisonnement de l’interculturel et de l’interreligieux Occident-Chine. Entraîné par le phénomène de la mondialisation et le rééquilibrage progressif des rapports de force entre l’ancien empire du Milieu et ses anciens colonisateurs, favorisé par toutes les métamorphoses du monde contemporain et, entre autres, les révolutions éditoriales et médiatiques, ce nouveau dialogue interculturel ne fait l’impasse ni sur les différences, ni sur les ressemblances, évite les écueils de cet exotisme dont Segalen se méfiait si légitimement, s’inscrit dans une perspective autant historique ou fonctionnaliste qu’essentialiste et témoigne d’un nouveau régime de questionnement et de partage dans lequel il est légitime de voir une espérance pour notre temps.
