  • 2016-2017 CCKF Annual Report
    2016-2017 INTRODUCTION The Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange (the Foundation) was established in 1989 in memory of the outstanding achievements of the late President of the Republic of China, Chiang Ching- kuo (1910-1988). The Foundation’s mission is to promote the study of Chinese culture and society, as well as enhance international scholarly exchange. Its principal work is to award grants and fellowships to institutions and individuals conducting Sinological and Taiwan-related research, thereby adding new life to Chinese cultural traditions while also assuming responsibility for the further development of human civilization. Operational funds supporting the Foundation’s activities derive from interest generated from an endowment donated by both the public and private sectors. As of June 1, 2017, the size of this endowment totaled NT$3.62 billion. The Foundation is governed by its Board of Directors (consisting of between 15 and 21 Board Members), as well as 3 Supervisors. Our central headquarters is located in Taipei, Taiwan, with a regional office near Washington D.C. in McLean, Virginia. In addition, the Foundation currently maintains four overseas centers: the Chiang Ching-kuo International Sinological Center at Charles University in Prague (CCK-ISC); the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Inter-University Center for Sinology at Harvard University (CCK-IUC); the Chinese University of Hong Kong – Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Asia-Pacific Centre for Chinese Studies (CCK-APC); and the European Research Center on Contemporary Taiwan – A CCK Foundation Overseas Center at Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (CCKF-ERCCT). There are also review committees for the five regions covering the geographic scope of the Foundation’s operations: Domestic, American, European, Asia-Pacific and Developing.

SUPPORT CONNECT AMPLIFY RENEW We support humanistic knowledge by making resources available to scholars and by strengthening the infrastructure for scholarship at the level of the individual scholar, the department, the institution, the learned society, and the national and international network. We work in collaboration with member societies, institutions of higher education, scholars, students, foundations, and the public. We seek out and support new and emerging organizations that share our mission. We commit to expanding the forms, content, and flow of scholarly knowledge because we value diversity of identity and experience, the free play of intellectual curiosity, and the spirit of exploration—and above all, because we view humanistic understanding as crucially necessary to prototyping better futures for humanity. It is a public good that should serve the interests of a diverse public. We see humanistic knowledge in paradoxical circumstances: at once central to human flourishing while also fighting for greater recognition in the public eye and, increasingly, in institutions of higher education.

  • Beethoven's Fourth Symphony: Comparative Analysis of Recorded Performances, Pp
    BEETHOVEN’S FOURTH SYMPHONY: RECEPTION, AESTHETICS, PERFORMANCE HISTORY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Mark Christopher Ferraguto August 2012 © 2012 Mark Christopher Ferraguto BEETHOVEN’S FOURTH SYMPHONY: RECEPTION, AESTHETICS, PERFORMANCE HISTORY Mark Christopher Ferraguto, PhD Cornell University 2012 Despite its established place in the orchestral repertory, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 in B-flat, op. 60, has long challenged critics. Lacking titles and other extramusical signifiers, it posed a problem for nineteenth-century critics espousing programmatic modes of analysis; more recently, its aesthetic has been viewed as incongruent with that of the “heroic style,” the paradigm most strongly associated with Beethoven’s voice as a composer. Applying various methodologies, this study argues for a more complex view of the symphony’s aesthetic and cultural significance. Chapter I surveys the reception of the Fourth from its premiere to the present day, arguing that the symphony’s modern reputation emerged as a result of later nineteenth-century readings and misreadings. While the Fourth had a profound impact on Schumann, Berlioz, and Mendelssohn, it elicited more conflicted responses—including aporia and disavowal—from critics ranging from A. B. Marx to J. W. N. Sullivan and beyond. Recent scholarship on previously neglected works and genres has opened up new perspectives on Beethoven’s music, allowing for a fresh appreciation of the Fourth. Haydn’s legacy in 1805–6 provides the background for Chapter II, a study of Beethoven’s engagement with the Haydn–Mozart tradition.

The Latin title of the symphony is thought to be derived from the epigram by John Owen, a near-contemporary of Shakespeare, and it was used by Elaine Sisman to support her hypothesis that the slow movement formed part of Haydn’s incidental music for Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The enigma can be explained through an analysis informed by concepts native to eighteenth-century music theory. The absent cadences create instances of ellipsis, a rhetorical figure described by Johann Adolph Scheibe and Johann Nikolaus Forkel, and the form plays with a familiar template codified by Heinrich Christoph Koch. This analysis leads to a different interpretation. Rather than suggesting the protagonist of Shakespeare’s tragedy, the movement stages a fictive composer in an act of musical comedy not dissimilar to that in Symphony No.

  • Imagining the Future of China Studies”
    1 — Not for citation without permission — “Made in the US/Made in China: Imagining the Future of China Studies” Fairbank Center 50th Anniversary Conference Harvard University December 9, 2005 Pauline Yu President, American Council of Learned Societies Let me begin by quoting a radio news story that caught my attention, a report from Beijing correspondent Anthony Kuhn that aired two months ago on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition.1 The story focused on the consequences of China’s rapid economic growth, which— while mostly positive—have also increased social inequality, official corruption, and produced a loss of any sense of collective purpose, since Communism can no longer be held up as the nation-state’s guiding star. The Chinese leadership, correspondent Kuhn noted, had “cracked down” hard on more than 74,000 protests against current policies, but was about to issue a new blueprint for development that puts “more of an emphasis on the equality and sustainability of economic growth.” What I found particularly noteworthy was his description at the end of the report of the party-state’s future leaders: But I think the main thing is that during this [upcoming] plenum [of the Communist Party Central Committee] we can expect to see the rise of a younger, different group of leaders. During [previous president] Jiang Zemin’s era, most of the leaders were Soviet-trained engineers. Now a lot of them are going to have more of a background in the humanities [my emphasis] and that’s going to help [President Hu Jintao’s] development strategy to place the emphasis on more humane development.

  • 90 CHAPTER THREE EXECUTION and EXPRESSION H.C. Koch's
    CHAPTER THREE EXECUTION AND EXPRESSION H.C. Koch’s Twofold Definition of Ausführung Heinrich Christoph Koch, in his Musikalisches Lexikon of 1803, defines the word Ausführung in two ways.1 In the first sense of his definition, Ausführung is the portion of the act of composition in which the good composer, with the help of skill and taste, elaborates the ideas emerging from Begeisterung (“inspiration’) and set forth in Anlage (“disposition”), that are the primary content of a piece of music. It is the part of the process in which a composition moves from the composer’s imagination to paper. In the second sense, Ausführung is the act of 1 Heinrich Christoph Koch, Musikalisches Lexikon (Faksimile-Reprint der Ausgabe Frankfurt/Main 1802) (Kassel: Bärenreiter, 2001), 187-94. Wiebke Thormählen’s paper “The Cultural Politics of the Virtuosic Gesture in Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 29” presented at the international conference on “Music and Gesture” at the University of East Anglia in August 2003 first made me aware of this quality of Koch’s definition. Koch’s compositional theories are set out more thoroughly in his Introductory Essay in Composition: The Mechanical Rules of Melody, Sections 3 and 4 trans. Nancy Kovaleff Baker (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1983), where the relevant stages of the compositional process are described in detail (see in particular chapter four, “The Arrangement of Larger Compositions,” 165-248.)
