Through the course of history, words have been used to win hearts, crush spirits, make money and find enlighten- ment. The past ten years have been the most exciting in the use of words since the invention of the printing press, and many privileges that were once reserved for the elite and intellectual have now fallen into the hands of the common man and woman, ushering in a hitherto unforeseen age of semantic freedom. In this issue, Australian Ambassador Geoff Raby (page 18) and CSOFT’s Executive Vice President Carl Yao (page 20) told us why they believe in the power of words to make the world a smaller place, while Queer Comrades founder and anchor Wei Xiaogang (page 26) showed us how he uses words to open the closets that confine many members of China’s LGBT community. ImpactAsia’s so- cial media expert Foniz Wong (page 24) explained how to “knit” the perfect Weibo feed, and user interface (UI) designer Kou Liqin (page 28) reminded us that it’s not just what you say, but what it looks like that counts. We also met with acclaimed author Brian Keith Jackson (page 22), Portuguese chefs Elisabete and Fernando Real of Tromba Rijo (page 12) and master baker Fernando Sousa Marques (page 13), and all of them reminded us how delightful and delectable traditional literature and culture really are. Feeling literary? Check out our events calendar (pages 42-57) for the events taking place during the Bookworm’s annual literary festival, and be sure to read our list of the four most influential books in China (page 30) and the best game apps for when you want a break from the black and white (page 36). So go on! Turn off your phone and computer, bundle up at home with a good book, and remember the wise words of Victor Hugo: “To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.” Jennifer Thomé Managing Editor 广告DM THU, FEB 24 – WED, MAR 9 AGENDA 3 TRY THESE RESTAURANTS Assorted sashimi Nadaman’s striking interior plays off its traditional cuisine Assorted sushi Japanese Nadaman 滩万日餐厅 The name Nadaman carries nearly two centuries of tradition, and the latest incarnation of the restaurant, located in the China World Summit Wing, lives up to this reputation with its selection of authentic dishes and their playfully fashioned fusion cousins.

  • In Chinese Social Media: Origins, Transformations and Implications

    In Chinese Social Media: Origins, Transformations and Implications

    The concept of ‘sharing’ in Chinese social media: Origins, transformations and implications Luolin Zhao & Nicholas John Luolin Zhao, Center for Studies of Media Development, Wuhan University, China, [email protected] Nicholas John, Department of Communication and Journalism, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel [email protected] Corresponding author: Luolin Zhao Pre-print accepted version In this article we present an analysis of the concepts of fenxiang and gongxiang—the Mandarin words for ‘sharing’—in the context of Chinese social media. We do so through an interrogation of the words fenxiang and gongxiang as used by Chinese social media companies. Using the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, we created screenshots of 32 Chinese social network sites between 2000-2018 and tracked changes in the usage of fenxiang and gongxiang over time. The Mandarin translations in some ways operate like the English word, ‘sharing’. Fenxiang has the meaning of participating in social media, and gongxiang refers to technological aspects of sharing, while also conveying a sense of harmony. However, the interpersonal relations implied by fenxiang, and the political order implied by gongxiang, are quite different from those conveyed by ‘sharing’. Together, fenxiang and gongxiang construct a convergence of micro-level interpersonal harmony and macro-level social harmony. Thus, the language of sharing becomes the lens through which to observe the subtlety, complexity and idiosyncrasies of the Chinese internet. This article thus offers a new heuristic for understanding Chinese social media, while also pointing to an important facet of the discursive construction of Chinese social media. This implies a continuing need to de-westernize research into the internet and to identify cultural-specific meanings of social media.

    Numerical Simulation of the Protective Effect of an Anti-Uplift Protector on Subway Tunnels with Different Sections

    buildings Article Numerical Simulation of the Protective Effect of an Anti-Uplift Protector on Subway Tunnels with Different Sections Aiyuan Zheng Shenzhen Metro CO., LTD, Shenzhen 518026, China; [email protected] Received: 12 November 2018; Accepted: 14 December 2018; Published: 27 December 2018 Abstract: The construction areas of both the upper water gallery of the left circular tunnel and the water gallery of the right square tunnel in the Shuangjie River gallery project in Shenzhen that pass through the parking access line of the Qianhai parking lot were numerically simulated. The ABAQUS finite element numerical simulation software was used to analyze the stress and strain of the cover and retaining pile with different sections under the design of tunnel anti-uplift protection measures. The results of the study are summarized as follows: The vertical deformation of the upper cover of the square section of tunnel was larger than that of the circular tunnel. The shear strength of the retaining pile on both sides of the square section tunnel was considerably lower than that of the retaining pile on both sides of the circular tunnel. The anti-uplift protection measures of the designed tunnel exhibited evident protective effects on the square and circular sections. However, the protection effect for the circular tunnel was more evident compared with that of the square section. Keywords: subway tunnel; pile enclosure structure; covered plate; section form; anti-uplift 1. Introduction Underground traffic systems in cities, particularly subway tunnels, are being increasingly developed [1–3]. Subway tunnels are commonly built under existing structures [4–8]. The development of subway tunnels has inevitably resulted in the construction of metro tunnels and various engineering structures [9–11].

Master of Communication Arts, December 2015, Graduate School, Bangkok University. Portrayal of Thailand: A Comparative Study of American and Chinese Films (67 pp.) Advisor: Asst. Prof. Ratanasuda Punnahitanond, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This study evolved from the question of how Thailand was portrayed by foreign films. A primary objective of this study is to specifically examine how Thailand was characterized and portrayed in American films as well as a control comparison with Chinese films. To this end, a comparative textual analysis of 8 films- - from the period of 2000 to 2015 was performed. The study identified the stereotypes of Thailand in foreign films, and tabulated the semiotics was used to portray Thailand in different films. The portrayal of Thailand in American films is abundant and complicated. It is not only portrayed as a beautiful country, but also a chaotic place. Thai people have no exception; they are portrayed as poor, smart, friendly. The portrayal of Thailand in Chinese films is relatively small and simple. Thailand is portrayed as a beautiful travel destination. Thai people are portrayed as friendly. Keywords: Portrayal, Thailand, American film, Chinese film, Semiotic, Stereotyping v ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This independent study consumed huge amount of work, research and time. Still, implementation would not have been possible if I did not have a support from Asst.
  • Cultural Governance in Contemporary China: Popular Culture, Digital Technology, and the State

    Cultural Governance in Contemporary China: Popular Culture, Digital Technology, and the State

    ! ! ! ! CULTURAL GOVERNANCE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINA: POPULAR CULTURE, DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY, AND THE STATE BY LUZHOU LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications and Media in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus John Nerone, Chair Assistant Professor Amanda Ciafone Professor Emeritus Dan Schiller Professor Kent Ono, University of Utah ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of the historical formation and transformation of the Chinese online audiovisual industry under forces of strategic political calculations, expanding market relations, and growing social participation, and the cultural ramifications of this process, especially the kind of transformations digital technologies have wrought on the state-TV-station-centered mode of cultural production/distribution and regulatory apparatuses. Through this case, the project aims to theorize the changing mode of cultural governance of post-socialist regimes in the context of digital capitalism. Using mixed methods of documentary research, interviews with industry practitioners, participant observations of trade fairs/festivals, and critical discourse analyses of popular cultural texts, the study finds that the traditional broadcasting and the online video sectors are structured along two different political economic mechanisms. While the former is dominated by domestic capital and heavily regulated by state agencies, the latter is supported by transnational capital and less regulated. Digital technologies coupled with transnational capital thus generate new cultural flows, processes, and practices, which produces a heterogeneous and contested cultural sphere in the digital environment that substantially differs from the one created by traditional television.
