SIGNED: Dongchen Hou 3 AKNOWLEDGEMENTS The completion of this dissertation, though it falls under one author’s title, is in fact a collaborative work with support from many channels. First, I want to give my sincere thanks to my academic advisor, Professor Hai Ren, for his support and guidance during the tenure of my Ph.D. study at the University of Arizona. The course I took with him three years ago, Digital Humanities in Asia, inspired me to build new perspectives through interdisciplinary conversations and think about what “writing” is. Hai generously provided invaluable suggestions on my academic development and directed my pursuits along the way. I also want to thank my three committee members. Wenhao introduced me to Inoue’s article on Japanese stenography, which inspired much of my research on Chinese stenography and eventually became one chapter in this dissertation. She generously spared her time during her maternity leave amongst many other work and life tasks to provide detailed suggestions on chapters’ ideas and structures. Fabio gave invaluable support with insightful comments on this work; in addition, the ideas, methodologies, and perspectives of thinking from the discussions in his class became a treasure that continually nourishes my research. I want to thank David for soliciting my dissertation draft very early, forcing me to edit my writing on a timely manner. He inspired me to rethink this project from a translational and translingual perspective. I have greatly benefited from numerous “anonymous” readers of my dissertation drafts at different stages from the Writing Skills Improvement Program at the University of Arizona. I have participated in writing groups for two years, and I want to especially thank two writing group facilitators: Jen Glass and Leslie Dupont. As a non-native English speaker and writer, I struggled to write this colossal work. Jen, a grammar “nerd” as she calls herself, significantly helped me and improved my academic English writing skill. Leslie helped me unpack ideas and 4 terms, clean grammatical errors, and brainstorm for new ideas. My writing group members, though coming from different academic backgrounds, provided invaluable suggestions on how to tell my story to general audiences. Sara shared with me the case of Chinese Classroom Experiment and suggested me to compare with Xu Bing’s artificial writing. Tola pushed me to think about authorship and co-authorship in human-machine interactions. There are many more peers that I can never thank enough. Without you, I could not have finished this work. Outside the circle of academic faculty at the University of Arizona, I significantly benefited from workshops and conference presentations. The Mellon Chinese calligraphy workshop held at Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City was a precious opportunity to learn and polish calligraphy connoisseurship under the guidance of Professor Harrist and Professor Hui-wen Lu. The art history knowledge I have possessed from the five-day workshop lays the foundation for my discussion of Chinese writing. The Association for Asian Studies (AAS) regional conferences and Berkeley-Stanford Graduate Student conference provided small, yet supporting space for students like me to share my dissertation with other scholars and graduate students. I also want to thank Professor Lisa Claypool from the University of Alberta for her inspiration on my proposed panel titled “Revisiting the Boundary: The Interplay between Art and Technology in East Asia.” Though the panel did not make its way to AAS annual conference 2018, Professor Claypool’s warm and supportive attitude and valuable comments on this topic is a great resource of inspiration for my dissertation. I want to thank the Confluencenter graduate fellowship and College of Humanities graduate student research grant at the University of Arizona for their generous support for this research. I also want to thank staffs from various archives, including Shanghai Municipal Archive in Shanghai, The First Historical Archive of China in Beijing and The Second Historical 5 Archive of China in Nanjing, for their help during my stay. The archival materials I collected from these locations are strong evidences supporting the argument in this dissertation. In addition, I want to thank Professor Zhang Qiang from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute for providing me with invaluable material and idea on modern calligraphy’s new manifestation. Though this part did not eventually make it to the final version of the dissertation, it is a continuous inspirational resource for my future work on Chinese calligraphy. I also thank Professor Li Jun from Southeast University for giving me the opportunity to visit his lab on calligraphy robots. As the first people from the discipline of humanities with no network in the field of engineers, I am deeply touched by the unconditioned help from scholars like Professor Li Jun. This dissertation is not possible without my fellow classmates, friends, and colleagues in the Department of East Asian Studies. I benefit significantly from academic discussions, informal chat, advice and comments, and delicious home-cooking meals with my friends in the department. I want to thank my dear friends Xuefei Ma, Fengyuan Yu (Alice), Lu Zhang, Yu Tian, Yi Wang, Xin He, Yilan Liu, Xiaowen Nie, and Shiho Yamamoto. The long journey of this dissertation felt much shorter with your support. Lastly, I want to thank my parents, Zonghua Hou and Bingfei Du, for their unwavering love, support, and understanding to my academic pursuit. I thank my fiancé, Lee Spitzley for the inspirational chats on information theory (which is very relevant to this dissertation!), his help with my dissertation editing, delicious home-made meals, and being my closest companion. In the process of this dissertation, one of my most important family members, my grandfather, passed away. In retrospect, I am so grateful to have him as my strong mental support. He showed unconditioned love and understanding when I decided to pursue my study in the United States six years ago. I dedicate this work to my grandfather. 6 Table of Contents ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................. 9 Introduction: (De)Marginalizing Writing .................................................................................. 11 Bodies in (E)motion: Writing as Embodied Experience ...................................................................... 18 Bodies in E-Motion: Writing as Technics........................................................................................... 23 Labor and Authorship Production ...................................................................................................... 28 Dissertation Chapter Outline .............................................................................................................. 37 Chapter 1: Shifting from the Eye to the Ear: The Disappearance of Stenographers and the Coming of China’s Modernization, 1890s ................................................................................

ARAS Connections Issue 4, 2011 To understand the relationship between avant-garde art and cultural identity in China, a basic understanding of the historical and cultural contexts is essential. The Cultural Revolution in China did not begin after Mao took power in 1949—it began with the May 4th movement of 1919. After suffering a series of deep national humiliations by the West, the revolution to break down the old culture began. The movement, led by students and intellectuals, proclaimed that if China was to survive in the 20th century with any integrity as a country, the Confucian traditional values had to be rejected. China must openly adopt Western political, economic, and social values in order to modernize and bring about a new China. This was the beginning of the quest for a new cultural and political identity. Some forty some years later, Mao’s Cultural Revolution, which began in the 1960s, took the May 4th movement to its extreme. The Red Guards, most of them teenagers, were unleashed onto the populace and carried out the central propaganda edict of “smashing the Four Olds”: old habits, old customs, old culture and old ideas. Mao’s Cultural Revolution was catastrophic in the indiscriminate destruction of lives, property, and all manifestations of art and culture.

  • The Political Body in Chinese Art

"The oP litical Body in Chinese Art" in Subversive Strategies in Contemporary Chinese Art. Eds. Mary Bittner Wiseman and Yuedi Liu. Leiden; Boston: Brill, 2011: 109-125. DOI: DOI. © 2011 Brill.

The published version may be accessed by following the link in the citation at the bottom of the page. The Political Body in Chinese Art Curtis L. Carter Department of Philosophy, Marquette University Milwaukee, WI The uses of visual images based on calligraphy and the depiction of the human body in Chinese art have served an important role in the exercise of political power by leaders in Chinese culture. The two media that are most closely linked to the exercise of political power in Chinese culture are written or performed calligraphy and representational art featuring the human figure. The latter is more familiar in western nations where one often finds sculptures of political figures displayed in prominent public spaces. However, in China calligraphy as a form of written art serves as a principal symbolic expression of political power. This is true in both traditional Chinese culture and also the Twentieth Century revolutionary period and beyond. The connection between figurative political images and political power needs little explanation for a western audience. But how is calligraphy connected to the theme of the political body in Chinese art and culture? One answer is offered in Mao Zedong’s early writings, where he linked the practice of calligraphy to physical training of the body.

  • Artist: Period/Style: Patron: Material/Technique: Form
    TITLE:Vietnam Veterans Memorial LOCATION: Washington, D.C., U.S. DATE: . 1982 C.E. ARTIST: Maya Lin PERIOD/STYLE: Minimalism PATRON: The Commision of Fine Arts MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE: Granite FORM: Highly reflective black granite with incised names of 58,000 names ofVietnam Veterans who sacrificed their lives during the conflict. The name is an abstraction that means more to the family and friends than a pictorial representation. The two walls start very short and get progressively taller until they meet at an oblique angle at the monument’s center. One wall points towards the Washington Monument; the other points to the Lincoln Memorial. FUNCTION: It functions as a memorial to the soldiers that died during the Vietnam War. It is an ideal place for people to come and spend quiet time reflecting on the names and perhaps leaving mementos to the deceased. CONTENT: The walls are made of a dark igneous rock called gabbro, a type of granite, which is highly reflective when polished.The surface of the monument is etched with the 58,195 names of the Americans who died or remained missing in action in the Vietnam War. The names are listed in the order in which they were reported killed or missing in action. This makes the names harder to find, and re- quires a listing and numeric system of organization for visitors. CONTEXT: There were 1400 anonymous entries for this commission. There was a real backlash once her identity was known because of latent racism in the post Vietnam era. She defended her design in front of the United States Congress, who eventually reached a compro- mise: A group of more “traditional” sculptures, called “The Three Soldiers,” was erected near the monument.

Улан-Удэ, ул. Смолина, 24а [email protected] Статья из рубрики "Личность в истории" Аннотация. Данная статья обращается к рассмотрению концепции «школьного сознания», которое в предшествующей литературе в основном осмысляется как результат проникновения китайских патриархальных устоев в буддийское сообщество на фоне ослабления государственного контроля в конце эпохи Мин. Особого внимания заслуживает то, что подобные умонастроения в рядах буддийских монахов сохранялись вплоть до конца XVIII века. Одним из заметных носителей «школьного сознания» на позднем этапе его существования стал Вэньхай Фуцзюй (1685-1765), предпринявший ряд шагов для упрочения престижа ветви Цяньхуа школы Винаи китайского буддизма.

Unrealistic temple registration Chinese Buddhism requirements, infrequent ordination approvals, and official intervention in temple administration are among Consistent the controls that most seriously obstruct grassroots monastics and lay believers. Taoism Consistent 3 Under Xi Jinping: President Xi Jinping has essentially continued the policies of his predecessor, Hu Jintao, with some rhetorical adjustments. For CCP leaders, Chinese Buddhism and Taoism are seen as increasingly important channels for realizing the party’s political and economic goals at home and abroad. In a rare occurrence, a Chinese Buddhist monk was sentenced to prison in 2016 on politically motivated charges. 4 Commodification: Economic exploitation of temples for tourism purposes—a multibillion-dollar industry—has emerged as a key point of contention among the state, clergy, and lay believers. 5 Community response: Religious leaders and monks are becoming increasingly assertive in trying to negotiate free or relatively inexpensive access to temples, and are pushing back against commercial encroachment, often with success. 26 Freedom House Visitors walk past the statue of a bodhisat- tva in a scenic park in Zhejiang Province.

  • It Begins with Metamorphosis XU BING 徐冰變 形 記
    It Begins with Metamorphosis XU BING 徐冰 變 形 記 Teacher Resource Guide Asia Society Hong Kong Center It Begins with Metamorphosis: Xu Bing Art is of vital importance to whole person development. It nurtures creativity, develops critical thinking and fosters language and motor skills. Research has shown that engagement in the arts benefits students not just in the classroom, but also in life. Students who are involved in the arts have higher school motivation, engagement in class, self-esteem, and life satisfaction.1 More importantly, art allows students to learn about different cultural values and ideologies, and cultivate cultural awareness, which is essential in the increasingly diverse society of today. By gaining a broader and deeper understanding of the world we live in, we are able to explore our own cultural heritage and identity, and nurture a sense of who we are, and where we are in the world. Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK) is dedicated to helping teachers bring art into the classroom, and to their students. Our gallery regularly hosts exhibitions of renowned artists of Asia and our range of educational programs will help teachers integrate visual arts into their teaching, and provide a convenient starting point for discussion about history, geography and cultures of Asia. It Begins with Metamorphosis: Xu Bing is Xu’s first major solo exhibition in Hong Kong featuring some of his latest works. This multi-disciplinary exhibition examines how metamorphosis is at the heart of what art strives to express, and the process and communication of that expression. This resource is also available on the Asia Society Hong Kong Center website at http://asiasociety.org/hong-kong/exhibitions/current.

    17 January 2014 PRESS RELEASE For further information please call Mike Stouber, Rubenstein Communications (212) 843-9381 / [email protected] Isadora Wilkenfeld, Cathedral of St. John the Divine (212) 316-7468 / [email protected] PHOENIX: Xu Bing at the Cathedral New York, NY, January, 2013 — The Cathedral of St. John the Divine announced today that Phoenix, two monumental sculptures by celebrated Chinese artist Xu Bing, will be installed in its Nave. The opening, which will include a festival for New Yorkers and visitors, will take place on Saturday, March 1, 2014. Xu Bing, described by the New York Times as “one of China’s most original artists,” spent two years working on Phoenix. Constructed of workers’ tools and debris gathered from demolition sites across the ever-changing landscape of Beijing, the two majestic birds, Feng and Huang, which together weigh over 12 tons and measure 90 and 100 feet, respectively, will be suspended from the Cathedral’s ceiling. “Xu Bing’s art is animated by his life-long pursuit of a transnational language with which we can communicate more deeply with each other, across cultures and time,” said the Very Reverend Dr. James A. Kowalski, Dean of the Cathedral. “We’re proud to place the work of this global citizen under the roof of this Cathedral as we continue our tradition of conversations between our diverse communities.” The sculptures, at once fierce and antic, combine the wildness of pre-historic beasts with the unfettered imagination of a child’s creation; together they address the radical economic changes that have transformed contemporary China.
