Determination, institutional support, and fi- nancial might came together to erect a real monument of Swedish identity, the National Edition of Strindberg’s Collected Works (Nationalupplagan av August Strindbergs Samlade Verk – short ‘ Samlade Verk ’) in seventy-two sizeable vol- umes, bound in linen covers. All in all, it took some thirty-five years to see the final volume of this testimony to Swedish memory and pride into print, in 2016, just four years after the centenary of Strindberg’s death. 5 The problems faced by the team of Swedish scholars when putting together Samlade Verk were immense, beginning with the simple question: what actually is ‘Strindberg’? Take the example of his Inferno . Originally written in French, it CC 1 Horace 1964: 206–207. 2 Larsson and Zorn are Sweden’s foremost painters; they were well acquainted with Strindberg. 3 ‘I write in French as Swedenborg and others wrote in Latin: because it is a universal language’, Strindberg once pointed out. ( Letters 22 Nov. 1897) (Cited from Gavel Adams 2015) 4 That Strindberg was tired of Sweden and wished to become a truly European author instead appears from his letters. (Personal communication with Gunnel Engwall, chair of the board of National Edition of August Strindberg’s Collected Works , Uppsala, 3 February 2015.) 5 For decades to come, Samlade Verk will be the authoritative text of Strindberg’s work. As Vi- klund 2013: 515f asserts, the title Nationalupplagan (National Edition ) indicates that Samlade Verk , financed in full by the government and at the outset planned as a project in seventy-two volumes, was created for the ‘benefit of the entire Nation’. As such, it was initially conceived as the ‘exhaustive and definite edition of the works of our great author’ (as stated in the dust jacket of Samlade Verk ; the translation is my own). At the time, the project was launched by the Strind- berg Society and later organised as a department of Stockholm University, nobody assumed that it would take some thirty-five years to complete. I thank Elena Balzamo (Paris) for directing me to Jon Viklund 2013 where illuminating insights into the projects are given. Open Access. © 2021 Dirk Meyer /JAS, published by De Gruyter.

Or is the French edition of 1898, changed independently by Mar- cel Réja (1873–1957) 8 to improve the Swedish composer’s poor French, a good candidate for an authoritative text? 9 Or, rather, is ‘Strindberg’ perhaps something that neither he nor his friends ever produced: an ‘ideal’ text, so to speak, one that acknowledges the various flaws and strengths of the different manuscript texts and that introduces a version—based of course on the best of scholarly knowledge—that Strindberg might have wanted to produce? Does that mean a text such as Inferno needs later scholarly invention to be—or become—a ‘good’ Strindberg? Do we need to ‘heal’ the text? Or none of the above? Does this edito- rial institutionalisation therefore mean that we have produced our own Strind- berg, a national monument in the ideology of memory, used to frame, and there- fore construct, an imagined community? 10 The underlying issue of the above questions relates to the problem of what actually determines the textual boundaries of a work. But this is not just relevant for Strindberg’s work. Similar questions apply to nearly all texts that are repeat- edly rearticulated in new contexts to inform—and therefore also structure—their relevant text communities. How do we determine what belongs to such a text, and what not? What are the processes that control how a text changes? What does textual development tell us about the communities and their institutions in- volved in such changes? And how do the relevant text communities negotiate the conflict of text fluidity on the one hand, and text authority on the other? When for a contemporary work such as that of Strindberg these questions are so relevant, how much more is this true for ancient and highly layered text CC 6 The translation was produced by Eugène Fahlstedt (1851–1935).

  • Tianjin Travel Guide
    Tianjin Travel Guide Travel in Tianjin Tianjin (tiān jīn 天津), referred to as "Jin (jīn 津)" for short, is one of the four municipalities directly under the Central Government of China. It is 130 kilometers southeast of Beijing (běi jīng 北京), serving as Beijing's gateway to the Bohai Sea (bó hǎi 渤海). It covers an area of 11,300 square kilometers and there are 13 districts and five counties under its jurisdiction. The total population is 9.52 million. People from urban Tianjin speak Tianjin dialect, which comes under the mandarin subdivision of spoken Chinese. Not only is Tianjin an international harbor and economic center in the north of China, but it is also well-known for its profound historical and cultural heritage. History People started to settle in Tianjin in the Song Dynasty (sòng dài 宋代). By the 15th century it had become a garrison town enclosed by walls. It became a city centered on trade with docks and land transportation and important coastal defenses during the Ming (míng dài 明代) and Qing (qīng dài 清代) dynasties. After the end of the Second Opium War in 1860, Tianjin became a trading port and nine countries, one after the other, established concessions in the city. Historical changes in past 600 years have made Tianjin an unique city with a mixture of ancient and modem in both Chinese and Western styles. After China implemented its reforms and open policies, Tianjin became one of the first coastal cities to open to the outside world. Since then it has developed rapidly and become a bright pearl by the Bohai Sea.

  • Narrative Inquiry Into Chinese International Doctoral Students
    Volume 16, 2021 NARRATIVE INQUIRY INTO CHINESE INTERNATIONAL DOCTORAL STUDENTS’ JOURNEY: A STRENGTH-BASED PERSPECTIVE Shihua Brazill Montana State University, Bozeman, [email protected] MT, USA ABSTRACT Aim/Purpose This narrative inquiry study uses a strength-based approach to study the cross- cultural socialization journey of Chinese international doctoral students at a U.S. Land Grant university. Historically, we thought of socialization as an institu- tional or group-defined process, but “journey” taps into a rich narrative tradi- tion about individuals, how they relate to others, and the identities that they carry and develop. Background To date, research has employed a deficit perspective to study how Chinese stu- dents must adapt to their new environment. Instead, my original contribution is using narrative inquiry study to explore cross-cultural socialization and mentor- ing practices that are consonant with the cultural capital that Chinese interna- tional doctoral students bring with them. Methodology This qualitative research uses narrative inquiry to capture and understand the experiences of three Chinese international doctoral students at a Land Grant in- stitute in the U.S. Contribution This study will be especially important for administrators and faculty striving to create more diverse, supportive, and inclusive academic environments to en- hance Chinese international doctoral students’ experiences in the U.S. Moreo- ver, this study fills a gap in existing research by using a strength-based lens to provide valuable practical insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymak- ers to support the unique cross-cultural socialization of Chinese international doctoral students. Findings Using multiple conversational interviews, artifacts, and vignettes, the study sought to understand the doctoral experience of Chinese international students’ experience at an American Land Grant University.

    Asian Medicine 7 (2012) 101–127 brill.com/asme Palpable Access to the Divine: Daoist Medieval Massage, Visualisation and Internal Sensation1 Michael Stanley-Baker Abstract This paper examines convergent discourses of cure, health and transcendence in fourth century Daoist scriptures. The therapeutic massages, inner awareness and visualisation practices described here are from a collection of revelations which became the founding documents for Shangqing (Upper Clarity) Daoism, one of the most influential sects of its time. Although formal theories organised these practices so that salvation superseded curing, in practice they were used together. This blending was achieved through a series of textual features and synæsthesic practices intended to address existential and bodily crises simultaneously. This paper shows how therapeutic inter- ests were fundamental to soteriology, and how salvation informed therapy, thus drawing atten- tion to the entanglements of religion and medicine in early medieval China. Keywords Massage, synæsthesia, visualisation, Daoism, body gods, soteriology The primary sources for this paper are the scriptures of the Shangqing 上清 (Upper Clarity), an early Daoist school which rose to prominence as the fam- ily religion of the imperial family. The soteriological goal was to join an elite class of divine being in the Shangqing heaven, the Perfected (zhen 真), who were superior to Transcendents (xianren 仙). Their teachings emerged at a watershed point in the development of Daoism, the indigenous religion of 1 I am grateful for the insightful criticisms and comments on draughts of this paper from Robert Campany, Jennifer Cash, Charles Chase, Terry Kleeman, Vivienne Lo, Johnathan Pettit, Pierce Salguero, and Nathan Sivin.

Introduction to Ho Lim Keng Temple Ho Lim Keng Temple is a Taoist temple and is managed by common surname association, Xu (许) Clan. Chinese clan associations are benevolent organizations of popular origin found among overseas Chinese communities for individuals with the same surname. This social practice arose several centuries ago in China. As its old location was acquisited by the government for redevelopment plans, they had moved to a new location on Outram Hill. Under the leadership of 许木泰宗长 and other leaders, along with the clan's enthusiastic response, the clan managed to raise a total of more than $124,000, and attained their fundraising goal for the reconstruction of the temple. Reconstruction works commenced in 1973 and was completed in 1975. Ho Lim Keng Temple was advocated by the Xu Clan in 1961, with a board of directors to manage internal affairs. In 1966, Ho Lim Keng Temple applied to the Registrar of Societies and was approved on February 28, 1967 and then was published in the Government Gazette on March 3.
