In between, pages were drafted in locations ranging from Beijing and Shanghai to Massachusetts and Michigan. Along the way, many generous friends, colleagues, institutions, and organizations in both China and the United States provided the support that made this book possible. Financial assistance at various stages of my travel, research, and writing came from the Asian Cultural Council, the U.S. Department of Education, the Harvard-Yenching Institute, the Association of Asian Studies, and many divisions of Cornell University, including the Einaudi Center for Interna- tional Studies, the East Asia Program, the John S. Knight Writing Program, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the Department of Theatre, Film & Dance. During manuscript revision, the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan and the office of Dean David Marshall at the University of California, Santa Barbara, provided funds for additional travel to China. The research for this project could not have been accomplished without the kind cooperation of host institutions in China that provided housing, ac- ademic mentorship, and access to libraries, archives, private rehearsals and meetings, and public performances. These institutions include the Shanghai Theatre Academy, the Shanghai People’s Art Theatre and the Youth Spoken Drama Troupe now merged as the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center, the Cen- tral Academy of Drama in Beijing, the China National Experimental The- atre and the China National Youth Theatre now merged as the National Theatre Company of China, and the Beijing People’s Art Theatre. For ad- ministrative and academic support from these organizations, I wish to thank Yu Qiuyu, Rong Guangren, Yu Luosheng, Yang Shaolin, Zhu Dakun, Zeng Xinhuan, Xu Xiaozhong, Lin Kehuan, Zhao Youliang, Meng Ruifeng, Meng He, Yin Wenzhen, Gao Jing, Zhang Fang, and the staffs of the foreign-affairs offices at both theatre academies. Among the colleagues in Shanghai who shared their experiences and ex- pertise with me through interviews and materials are Sun Huizhu, Fei Chun- fang, Cao Lusheng, Gu Yi’an, Yin Zhusheng, Lü Liang, Xu Zheng, Yu Rong- ix jun, Sha Yexin, Lei Guohua, Xi Meijuan, Zhou Yemang, Du Yeqiu, Zhao Yaomin, and Ren Guangzhi. Their counterparts in Beijing include Pu Cun- xin, Yang Lixin, Lin Zhaohua, Ren Ming, Shen Lin, Wang Gui, Wang Xiao- ying, Meng Jinghui, Ge Dali, Ren Chengwei, Wang Yansong, Guo Shixing, and Bai Ren. Among the distinguished theatre artists I am privileged to know in China, I wish to extend my gratitude especially to the late Huang Zuolin and Ying Ruocheng, and to Bai Hua. For their steadfast assistance, wonderful humor, and tremendous friendship over many years, I thank Li Yu, Ji Wei, Yu Rong- jun, Gu Yi’an, Meng Jinghui, Shen Lin, the incomparable Zhang Fang, and my wonderful “mom” Huang Lanlin. I have been inspired by the scholarship of Colin Mackerras, Antje Budde, William Sun, and Edward Gunn, all of whom have been generous mentors. I am fortunate to have worked under the tutelage of a superb advisor at Cor- nell University, David Bathrick, whose patience, compassion, and high stan- dards are greatly appreciated. Shelley Wong provided valuable support and guidance. Others who have encouraged me throughout my work on contem- porary theatre practice in China include Vera Schwarcz, Timothy Wong, Jeffrey Kinkley, Richard Schechner, and the late Fritz deBoer.

Acknowledgments xi Ũ Prologue I don’t feel like a foreigner, the way I do in Baghdad or New York. I feel like an ape, a martian, an other. —Julia Kristeva, About Chinese Women Julia Kristeva’s description of how it feels to dwell in the gaze of ordinary citizens in China is typical of the experience of many foreigners who spend time there. During my first stay in Beijing, in , routine daily occurrences included being followed in the streets, being surrounded by a large crowd whenever I stood still, and being analyzed by complete strangers for the du- ration of bus rides—strangers who were unaware that I understood what they were saying. Their comments would range from guessing my national- ity to discussing my weight and accouterment. It is difficult to describe the effect of this kind of daily experience to those who have never been exposed to it by living in China. Though one attempts to remain conscious of the fact that such treatment is prompted merely by genuine—even friendly— curiosity, the residual effects of such encounters over time can be quite nega- tive: in my case, they ranged from being reluctant to go out alone in public unless absolutely necessary to imagining that my hundred-pound frame was actually “fat.”1 More than fifteen years later, despite the increased globalization of China’s major cities and the exponential increase in the number of expatriate citizens living in them, similar practices endure. Although I am no longer surrounded by crowds whenever I stop moving in the streets, I am still frequently the ob- ject of persistent staring and pointing and of comments uttered with the as- sumption that I cannot understand them. Behavior that I once attributed to lack of exposure to “real live” foreigners now must be explained in other terms, for in China’s major cities today foreigner-sightings are frequent and non-Chinese citizens are increasingly integrated into native environments. In there were separate monetary currencies for locals and visitors, along with several other political and institutional strategies that kept foreigners systematically distanced from ordinary Chinese, and it was only recently that laws segregating expats and forcing them to live in overpriced foreigners-only housing units (by prohibiting them from renting Chinese apartments) were re- laxed. Today, many of these fabricated barriers have dissolved, but routine gestures of “othering” remain intact.2 Perhaps the most common otherness experience of a foreigner living in China is when a small child walking along with an adult stops suddenly and points, shouting, “Waiguoren!” (foreigner, or outsider). In many cases, it is the adult guardian who first indicates the presence of the foreign Other to the child, who in turn responds by pointing and calling out. This encounter became so frequent during my residencies in China that I devised a strategy for coping with it: I would point back at the child and say, “Zhongguoren!” (Chinese person), thus diffusing with humor my discomfort.

Simpson Professor of Interpersonal Communication Kathy Krendl Dean, College of Communication REN, LI. Ph.D. June 2003. Interpersonal Communication Imagining China in the Era of Global Consumerism and Local Consciousness: Media, Mobility, and the Spring Festival. (260 pp.) Co-directors of Dissertation: Arvind Singhal and Timothy A. Simpson Using the Spring Festival (the Chinese New Year) as a springboard for fieldwork and discussion, this dissertation explores the rise of electronic media and mobility in contemporary China and their effect on modern Chinese subjectivity, especially, the collective imagination of Chinese people. Informed by cultural studies and ethnographic methods, this research project consisted of 14 in-depth interviews with residents in Chengdu, China, ethnographic participatory observation of local festival activities, and analysis of media events, artifacts, documents, and online communication. The dissertation argues that “cultural China,” an officially-endorsed concept that has transformed a national entity into a borderless cultural entity, is the most conspicuous and powerful public imagery produced and circulated during the 2001 Spring Festival. As a work of collective imagination, cultural China creates a complex and contested space in which the Chinese Party-state, the global consumer culture, and individuals and local communities seek to gain their own ground with various strategies and tactics.

  • Olympic Cities Chapter 7
    Chapter 7 Olympic Cities Chapter 7 Olympic Cities 173 Section I Host City — Beijing Beijing, the host city of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, will also host the 13th Paralympic Games. In the year 2008, Olympic volunteers, as ambassadors of Beijing, will meet new friends from throughout the world. The Chinese people are eager for our guests to learn about our city and the people who live here. I. Brief Information of Beijing Beijing, abbreviated“ JING”, is the capital of the People’s Republic of China and the center of the nation's political, cultural and international exchanges. It is a famous city with a long history and splendid culture. Some 500,000 years ago, Peking Man, one of our forefathers, lived in the Zhoukoudian area of Beijing. The earliest name of Beijing 174 Manual for Beijing Olympic Volunteers found in historical records is“JI”. In the eleventh century the state of JI was subordinate to the XI ZHOU Dynasty. In the period of“ CHUN QIU” (about 770 B.C. to 477 B.C.), the state of YAN conquered JI, moving its capital to the city of JI. In the year 938 B.C., Beijing was the capital of the LIAO Dynasty (ruling the northern part of China at the time), and for more than 800 years, the city became the capital of the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The People’s Republic of China was established on October 1, 1949, and Beijing became the capital of this new nation. Beijing covers more than 16,000 square kilometers and has 16 subordinate districts (Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chongwen, Xuanwu, Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai, Shijingshan, Mentougou, Fangshan, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu, Changping and Huairou) and 2 counties (Miyun and Yanqing).

  • Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance
    Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance Zheyu Wei A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of Creative Arts The University of Dublin, Trinity College 2017 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library Conditions of use and acknowledgement. ___________________ Zheyu Wei ii Summary This thesis is a study of Chinese experimental theatre from the year 1990 to the year 2014, to examine the involvement of Chinese theatre in the process of globalisation – the increasingly intensified relationship between places that are far away from one another but that are connected by the movement of flows on a global scale and the consciousness of the world as a whole. The central argument of this thesis is that Chinese post-Cold War experimental theatre has been greatly influenced by the trend of globalisation. This dissertation discusses the work of a number of representative figures in the “Little Theatre Movement” in mainland China since the 1980s, e.g. Lin Zhaohua, Meng Jinghui, Zhang Xian, etc., whose theatrical experiments have had a strong impact on the development of contemporary Chinese theatre, and inspired a younger generation of theatre practitioners. Through both close reading of literary and visual texts, and the inspection of secondary texts such as interviews and commentaries, an overview of performances mirroring the age-old Chinese culture’s struggle under the unprecedented modernising and globalising pressure in the post-Cold War period will be provided.
