Traveling Abroad, Writing Nationalism, and Performing in Disguise: People on the Japanese Colonial Boundaries, 1909-1943 Abstract This dissertation investigates the relationships and discourse among “in-between” people under Japanese colonial rule. Featuring three case studies including literary travalers in Manchuria, colonial writers in Taiwan, and transnational performers in East Asia that each provide multiple evidentiary examples, this study is centered on three dimensions of colonial discourse that deliberately challenged normative identity, nationality, and coloniality: writing as empowerment of local authors, traveling as a project of identity and state building, and cultural performance as imperial propaganda. By examining specific instances in which colonial writers and performers such as Natsume Sōseki, Yosano Akiko, Satō Haruo, Nishikawa Mitsuru, and Ri Kōran in Taiwan and Manchukuo engaged in colonial discourse, this dissertation re-contextualizes and fully portrays the relationships between colonizer and colonized, empire and colonies and, most importantly, human beings and society. Chapter One argues that Sōseki and Yosano’s travel writing not only reveals their ambition to shape the empire but also provides their opinions that reconstructed the borderlines of the Japanese empire. Chapter Two examines the views of colonial identity and binaries through Satō and Nishikawa’s journeys and literary works of Taiwan. Chapter Three analyzes voices and performances from the semi-colonized territory of Manchuria, mainly through the discussion of cinematic representations of Japanese colonialism within the region. This chapter shows that Ri’s cheerful cinematic image portrayed a different dimension of colonial conversation and created a multi-layer conversation between empire and the colonies, and temporarily pacified the tension and anxiety of the war-time period. The concluding chapter explores the question: What is the cultural legacy of the Japanese empire? By examining two Taiwanese colonial writers, Zhang Wenhuan and Long Yingzhong, and their literary works as well as their respective journeys to Tokyo for the first Greater East Asia Writers’ Conference, I claim that their actions amplified colonized voices that attempted to create a counter-discourse from the empire’s edges. To conclude, this dissertation demonstrates that one cannot fully understand colonial reality without acknowledging a multi-dimensional discourse between colonized, colonizer, and people in between.

Years later, I realized the University was not only the place where I achieved my Ph.D., but also the origin of where I began my journey in search of knowledge and truth. All of this comes from my mentor and advisor, Professor Ayako Kano. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to her for the relentless support of my Ph.D. study, for her patience, intelligence, solicitude, and immense knowledge. She not only guided me to the ways of teaching and researching, but also showed me what it is like to be a great scholar and teacher. She is the best mentor and a paragon of humanity. I would never have completed this dissertation and my Ph.D. study without her continuous support. At the University of Pennsylvania, I also had the fortune to have Professor Frederick R. Dickinson and Professor Xiaojue Wang as my dissertation advisors. Professor Frederick R. Dickinson opened the door for a literary person, like me, to the field of modern Japanese History. His charming personality and intellectual guidance inspired me to become fascinated in history and helped me to think and see things in different ways. Professor Xiaojue Wang is one of the most knowledgeable scholars, who introduced me to the study of modern Chinese literature. It was in her class, I began working on Chinese literature and cinema. I am especially indebted to them. v My sincere thanks also goes to Professor Linda H. Chance, a model of generosity and responsiveness, who suggested thoughtful revisions for the dissertation and was always willing to help. I am deeply indebted to Professor David Spafford and Professor Julie Nelson Davis for their insightful suggestions, intellectual generosity, and enthusiastic inspiration throughout my study at Penn. I am also thankful to Dr. Paul Goldin, Dr. Nancy S. Steinhardt, Dr. Siyen Fei, Dr. Frank L. Chance, Dr. Hsiao-wen Cheng, and Dr. Jolyon Thomas for their extraordinary help and support. I would like to thank Dr. Molly Des Jardin, and Dr. Brian Vivier at the Van Pelt Library, who constantly offered their assistance and help for my research, and Linda Greene, Diane Moderski, and Peggy Guinan for their help over the years. I am also thankful to my M.A. thesis advisor, Professor Doris G. Bargen, at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Professor Robert Tierney at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, for their warm encouragement and academic inspiration. I am happy to acknowledge my colleagues and friends at Penn, without whom my graduate studies and dissertation writing would not have been so meaningful: Zhenzhen Lu, Jooyeon Hahm, Alex Martin, Harry Schley, Thaya Saxby, Kirsten Seuffert, Daria Melnikova, Frank Clements, Mark Bookman, Robert Heywood, and Gregory Loh. I also gratefully acknowledge the following sources of financial support. The Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations and School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania provided funding for my graduate study. For my summer research abroad, I was fortunate to receive the Cecilia Seigle Prize from the Japanese vi Studies program at Penn. Without this generous financial support, I would not have completed my study and this dissertation. I am grateful to my parents, Mai Xiu and Lai Rendi, and siblings, Lingzhen and Shuling, for their unselfish and unconditional support during these years. Finally, I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my wife, Chialin Lee, who stood by me throughout this long journey, and to my son, Ryan Lai, whose sweetness and cuteness helped to cheer me up. They are my reasons for living. vii ABSTRACT TRAVELING ABROAD, WRITING NATIONALISM, AND PERFORMING IN DISGUISE: PEOPLE ON THE JAPANESE COLONIAL BOUNDARIES, 1909-1943 Huang-Wen Lai Ayako Kano This dissertation investigates the relationships and discourse among “in-between” people under Japanese colonial rule.

I have benefited much from Jay Reed’s friendly antagonism, Marjorie Levinson’s keen insight, Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen’s grounding levity, and Yopie Prins’s magnanimity. But beyond the academic sphere, more or less, I’m am deeply indebted to Kobayashi Yasuko for reminding me that, to some, poetry matters as more than a mere figure of academic discourse and to my wife Colleen for her wholly unexpected insights and seemingly infinite patience.

(U.Qld.) DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING, FINANCE & ECONOMICS GRIFFITH BUSINESS SCHOOL GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2006 ii ABSTRACT This thesis describes the rail gauge decision-making processes of the Australian colonies in the period 1850 – 1901. Federation in 1901 delivered a national system of railways to Australia but not a national railway system. Thus the so-called “standard” gauge of 4ft. 8½in. had not become the standard in Australia at Federation in 1901, and has still not. It was found that previous studies did not examine cause and effect in the making of rail gauge choices. This study has done so, and found that rail gauge choice decisions in the period 1850 to 1901 were not merely one-off events. Rather, those choices were part of a search over fifty years by government representatives seeking colonial identity/autonomy and/or platforms for election/re-election. Consistent with this interpretation of the history of rail gauge choice in the Australian colonies, no case was found where rail gauge choice was a function of the disciplined search for the best value-for-money option.

At a cost of £284 million, the scheme comprised the connection of former suburban rail alignments with new railway construction in tunnel under central Newcastle and over the Tyne. Further extensions to the system were opened to Newcastle Airport in 1991 and to Sunderland, sharing 14 km of existing Network Rail track, in March 2002.

  • Narrow-Gauge Railways, of Two Feet Gauge and Under
    376 JULY 1898. NARROW-GAUGE RAILWAYS, OF TWO FEET GAUGE AND UNDER. - BY Mn. LESLIE S. ROBERTSON, OF LONDON. __ The circumstance that the Members of the Institution are to have the opportunity, through the courtesy of Sir Arthur Percival Heywood, Bart., of inspecting an interesting example of a very Narrow-Gauge Line of his own design, ?or which all the details, mechanical and otherwise, have been carefully thought out by its designer-and the coincidence that this meeting of the Institution is being held under the presidency of one of the leading locomotive engineers of this country-render the present a favourable opportunity for bringing before the Institution some facts in connection with this class of Light Railways. The whole subject of light railways cannot be treated within the limits of the present short paper, which is confined to narrow-gauge railways of two feet gauge and under: although the author is personally of opinion that the circumstances which would justify the adoption of a gauge under two feet must be of an exceptional character. Comparatively few engineers realise the capability of narrow-gauge railways, and the saving that can be effected by their adoption, when applied to large industrial undertakings. Several instances have come under the author's notice, where the judicious adoption of light narrow-gauge lines, such as those dealt with in this paper, has resulted in considerable financial benefit to those concerned in them. Reasons for adoption.-Narrow-gauge lines of this class may be roughly divided into two categories:-first, where the work to be done is of a permanent and constant nature, enabling the line'to be laid down as a fixture ; and second, where the work is of a temporary character.

  • Yosano Akiko's Princess Saho and Its Multiple Speakers
    WASEDA RILAS JOURNAL NO. 8 特集 5 特集 5 RILAS 研究部門「創作と翻訳の超領域的研究」 Yosano Akiko’s Princess Saho and its Multiple Speakers Janine BEICHMAN Abstract To translate is to interpret, and this is especially so for a difficult poet like Yosano Akiko. The translator con- fronting the task of interpreting the stupendous number of poems that Yosano Akiko (1878-1942) published over the course of her career begins, of course, by looking into the biographical background and reading as many com- mentaries as possible, but often that is not enough. Then come such avenues of inquiry as comparing iterations of the same themes within the corpus of the poetry itself, picking up echoes of Japanese classical and other litera- tures, and noting connections to Western literature, art, and ideas. In working with the poems here, I have used all these avenues. There is also one other approach, and that is to cycle between Akiko’s prose and her poetry. She often touched on the same topic and themes in both genres, sometimes using the prose to explain the poetry and even vice versa. The essay “Bosei Henchō wo Haisu” (I oppose the glorification of motherhood, 1916) is usually considered only in terms of its role in the public debate on the protection of motherhood (bosei hogo ronsō) that Akiko car- ried on in the media between 1916 and 1919, but it also provides a good background for reading her poetry. This is because Akiko explains her criticism of the glorification of motherhood by eloquently articulating her concep- tion of the self as multi-focal, a conception which in a certain sense is the philosophical counterpart of the multiple speakers that populate her poems.
