Abstract:

This dissertation examines the British conception of the problem of China in the 1920s, as reflected through political writings on the country. The focus of this study is on the texts of three authors: Bertrand Russell, Rodney Gilbert, and Arthur Ransome. Though coming from diverse traditions and drastically dissimilar political backgrounds, these writers, like many other British writers at the time, had come to view China as being essentially problematic – a view that is open to multiple interpretations, and perhaps deliberately so. Books with titles such as The Problem of China, The Chinese Puzzle, What’s Wrong with China, and Is China Mad?, to name a few, reveal a way of thinking about the country that was prevalent and well-entrenched. Demands for books on a problematic China reveal a desire, on the part of the British home audience, not only to gain a better understanding as to the constitution of problem, but also to appreciate how this Chinese problem can affect Britain, and how it can be resolved. What is interesting, however, upon examining these texts that seek to explicate the titular problem, is that one discovers that there is hardly a consensus among these This dissertation examines the British conception of the problem of China in the 1920s, as reflected through political writings on the country.

Abstract:

In 1929 the leading Chinese intellectual Hu Shi said: “To understand the degree to which a particular culture is civilized, we must appraise … how it handles its children.” In 1957, Chairman Mao told Chinese youth that “both the world and China’s future belonged to them.” In both eras, cultural leaders placed children and youth in the centre of cultural and political discourse associating them with the nation’s future. This thesis compares Chinese children’s literature during the Republican period (1912-1949) and the early People’s Republic of 1949-1966, until the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and argues that children’s writers who worked in both new Chinas treated youth and children as key agents in building a nation-state. In this thesis, I focus on the works of three prominent writers, Ye Shengtao (1894-1988), Bing Xin (1900-1999) and Zhang Tianyi (1906-1985) who wrote children’s literature and were prominent cultural figures in both eras. Their writing careers make for excellent case studies in how children’s literature changed from one political era to another. I conduct thematic and stylistic textual analysis of their works and read them against their historical and cultural backgrounds to determine how children’s writings changed and why. As anticipated, I showed that during both eras, children’s literature and politics were closely related. Another expected finding is that the manner of writing for children changed significantly as children from victims turned into active agents of the nation’s future. Challenging the view that children’s writers of the early People’s Republic merely followed the Party line, I argue that Ye, Bing, and Zhang remained loyal to the task of “saving children.” Another unexpected finding is that the Chinese Communist Party did not invent new cultural policies toward children from scratch, but employed numerous policies and ideas, including literary ideas, of the Nationalist regime that also inherited much from the late Qing.

Abstract:

In the studies of Chinese literature, it is an usual practice to translate the Chinese term xiaoshuo with the English terms "fiction" or "the novel", and few, if any, ever feel the need to ask for an justification of it, as if it is crystal clear that these terms are exact synonyms. While there are indeed few problems in understanding the meaning of xiaoshuo through "fiction" or "the novel" as it appears in modem Chinese literature, it was not the case when the term xiaoshuo was put in pre-modem Chinese context, where it bore very different meanings. It literally meant "small talks" and was regarded as equivalent to "alley hearsay". Besides, its emotional connotation in pre-modem China was also very different from that of "fiction" or "the novel". For traditional scholars-gentry, xiaoshuo always carried a negative and pejorative sense that it was considered to be unworthy to be read seriously of his status. The situation started to change only in the last decade of the 19th Century. Following the repeated military defeats of the last Chinese Empire to the western powers, there was an influx of Western ideas into China. With the collision and interaction between the traditional Chinese ideas and the new Western ones, many traditional Chinese terms, which had been used for over 2000 years without substantial modification, were subject to radical transformations in meaning. Xiaoshuo was one of these terms. The present thesis attempts to offer an analysis of the transformation of the meaning of "xiaoshuo" in the period 1898-1920 by applying the method of analysis suggested by the history of ideas. Three representative literary figures in this period, Liang Qichao (1873-1929), Lu Simian(1884-1957) and Lu Xun (1881-1936), are chosen to be the foci of investigation, and their most representative theories on xiaoshuo are sorted out to be the objects of detailed study, in order to trace the process of how xiaoshuo acquired the present meaning of imaginative prose narrative and became one of the four major genres of literature together with drama, poetry and prose.

Abstract:

This dissertation traces how eugenics came to underpin discourses pertaining to free love, sex and reproduction in 1920s-1930s China. It shows the eugenic and evolutionist limits to radical or liberal intellectuals' understanding of the role of the individual in the pursuit of sex, free love and birth control. The study examines the scientific view of modernity embodied in eugenics, as well as the challenges to this vision based on humanism and sex aestheticism. Bertrand Russell's visit to China in 1920 with his lover Dora Black led to heated discussions surrounding free love and free divorce, where privacy, the eugenic idea of a "robust individual" and science were key. Meanwhile, translations and the reception of Ellen Key and Havelock Ellis's works on eugenics and love underpinned the reconciliation in Chinese liberal intellectuals' thought between individualism/evolutionary humanism and eugenics, particularly in their debates on sexual and emotional ethics in the 1920s. Margaret Sanger's visit to China in 1922 opened up a debate on the suitability of eugenic birth control to solve China's problems, such as overpopulation and venereal disease. By probing into her interactions with Chinese intellectuals in 1922, this study reveals how her eugenic ideas were received, as well as the political tensions regarding her birth control advocacy. The dissertation demonstrates that the sexual reproductive considerations that had been viewed in the 1920s as a problem of the relationship between the individual and nation/race/society, by the 1930s came to completely subordinate the role of the individual to national and racial regeneration concerns. Sanger's continued correspondence with Chinese medical professionals came to shape the birth control movement in the 1930s in more strictly eugenic terms. This research contends that eugenics was not only influential in discourse, but came to be implemented in practice in the fields of sex hygiene, birth control and VD regulation. The agency of pioneer female gynecologists in the 1930s is emphasized by examining how they brought eugenics in practice in their birth control clinics, how they localized global female experience and theories on birth control and hygiene, either through translation or through their attempts to reach working class women with contraceptive sex education. Lastly I argue that eugenics and social hygiene also functioned as a male oriented ideology in VD policies of various colonial powers: British, American, Japanese, and French as part of an economy of empire. By contrast Chinese Nationalist Hygiene Campaigns and female gynecologists' internalizing of eugenics focused on female health.

Abstract:

In the existing scholarship on Chinese translation history, the shifting conceptualizations of translation from the 1890s to the 1920s have been presented as a teleological evolution from 'traditional', target-oriented translation norms to 'modern', source-oriented norms. In response to this virtually unchallenged grand narrative, the dissertation presents a more nuanced and complex picture of the changing conceptualizations of translation in China during this period. Using New Historicism to engage with Roland Barthes's theory of intertextuality and Gérard Genette's framework of paratextuality, the study builds an integrated theoretical framework for examining how the conceptual relationships between translating, writing, commenting, and editing (among a variety of other textual activities) changed during this period. Adopting Microhistory principles, the dissertation conducts three case studies of marginalized figures - Zhong Junwen (1865-1908), Zhou Shoujuan (1895-1968), and Wu Mi (1894-1978) - from Chinese translation history: by analyzing their translations and/or writings about translation in a range of textual forms such as translation reviews, prefaces, diaries, and pingdian commentaries, the dissertation reveals how these cultural actors blurred the boundaries between translating, writing, commenting, and editing within China's rapidly evolving publishing context and how their conceptualizations of translation were deeply grounded in the traditional Chinese notions of authorship. The results of the three case studies demonstrate how the conceptual boundaries between various textual activities were in flux during these four decades and that the shifts in the conceptualizations of translation were not a simple, linear development from 'traditional' to 'modern'. Apart from contributing to a better knowledge of Chinese conceptualizations of translation in a key period of Chinese translation history, the dissertation challenges the validity of adopting the theoretical models of intertextuality and paratextuality as universally applicable frameworks in translation studies.

Full text

Abstract:

Cette thèse a pour but de réfléchir aux motifs de l'opposition au système de traités internationaux en Chine manifestée par les deux gouvernements rivaux de la Chine des années 1920, qui le dénoncent avec le terme de « traités inégaux ». Cette opposition des deux côtés émergea et durcit de manière assez synchronisée et contre-intuitive durant leur lutte et guerre (contre-)révolutionnaire au milieu des années 1920. Malgré la masse d'écrits traitant de l'histoire diplomatique de la Chine de l'époque, peu de travaux ont traité cette question particulière en détail. L'opposition à ces traités est généralement considérée comme un résultat de l'émergence du nationalisme chinois ou comme un choix stratégique évident de realpolitik compte tenu des gains que cette opposition pouvait apporter. Cette étude cherche à démontrer au contraire que cette politique anti-traités de leur part est un renversement de leur ancienne politique étrangère, qui consistait à coopérer avec les puissances étrangères et à se réconcilier avec ce système des traités. De mon point de vue, l'échec de leur précédente politique de coopération est justement la clé pour comprendre son renversement. Cette thèse commencera donc par présenter dans les deux premières Parties en quoi leur politique initiale de coopération n'était tenable jusqu'àu milieu des années 1920 ni financièrement pour les deux camps, ni idéologiquement, en particulier pour le gouvernement du Sud. La troisième Partie abordera ensuite la radicalisation par les deux camps de cette politique anti-traités qui est devenue une nécessité absolue pour des raisons stratégiques financières et politiques, au paroxysme de leur guerre civile. Pour finir, selon moi, cette question de traités s'élargit à la question de l'histoire chinoise moderne, avec la recentralisation du pouvoir de l'État, en ce qui concerne les finances et les taxes, ainsi que le rétablissement de sa légitimité dans une Chine divisée et en transition
This dissertation seeks to enquire into the rationale behind the opposition of the two rival Chinese Governments to the international treaty system in China (which they denounced as “unequal treaties”), opposition which emerged and stiffened much in sync from both sides from 1925, somewhat counter-intuitively amidst their escalating (counter)revolutionary struggle and war. Despite considerable writings and studies on this diplomatic history of China, very few discussions were devoted to this particular question of why, as such opposition is often taken for granted either as a patriotic call and nationalist awakening on the Chinese part, or a self-evident strategic choice in view of their subsequent realpolitikal gains therefrom. Yet, as this study will present, far from that, their initiation of an anti-treaty line in the nationalist name was in fact a complete reversal of their former policy of cooperation with the treaty powers and reconcilement with that treaty system, a reversal which both sides originally had no intention to undertake whatsoever. As I see it, the failure of that previous policy was just the real key to understanding their eventual reversal thereof. This dissertation therefore will first of all analyse why their cooperative policy was unviable both in financial (for both sides) and ideological terms (for the Southern Government in particular) by 1924, which eventually turned both camps against that treaty system (Part I & II). And then it will discuss how radicalization of that anti-treaty line by both sides became an absolute strategic necessity both financially and politically, in the context of their revolutionary war from 1926 to 1927 (Part III). In the end, to my mind, this question of treaty further involves a broader issue of modern Chinese history: recentralization of state power (finances) and reestablishment of political legitimacy (as newly derived from nationalism), in a China both in division and in transition

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis discusses one of the primary questions of the debates on China, the question of the nature of Chinese transformation. It is suggested in this thesis that to fully grasp the transformation of China, we need to contextualize it within global neoliberal transformations since the 1980s. It is also argued that even if the transformation in China has been heavily influenced by global tendencies, we still have to recognize peculiar characteristics of Chinese transformation. Thus, the thesis aims to contribute to the scholarly discussions on the nature of Chinese transformation especially by way of critically engaging with &lsquo
Beijing Consensus&rsquo
, a notion that is relatively new and opens to the scientific debates. In the thesis, a decade-based analysis of the transformation in China is provided. In this regard, this thesis identifies the period between Deng&rsquo
s coming to power in 1978 and his Southern Tour in 1992 as the period of &lsquo
launching of the reforms&rsquo
. It is argued that the reforms introduced in the 1980s are of vital importance in terms of abandoning the legacies of Maoist period and the construction of the institutions of a capitalist market economy in China. On the other hand, the 1990s period that ends with the change of leadership from Jiang Zemin to Hu Jintao in 2002 is characterized as the period of &lsquo
consolidation of the reforms&rsquo
. It is assumed that the reform drive in the 1990s has a pivotal role for the consolidation of the current configuration of state, labour, capital relations in China.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to explore the trend in natural fertility and its components in China over half a century from the 1940s to the 1980s. One of the most important components of fertility, natural fertility and its secular rising trend in modern China, have never been systematically addressed, thus providing the scope for the present study. By fully using recent information on China's population and social development, this thesis documents and analyses the trend of natural fertility in China since the 1940s. The literature review of natural fertility and its proximate and background determinants comes as the first part after the introduction. An important methodological part of the study comes next. The main data sources are introduced, problems of applying Coale and Trussell's model are discussed and an adjusted version of the model is proposed. Finally, technical problems are also addressed, including such matters as modifying data sources to meet required measurements, assessing the limitations of estimated results, suggesting ways to avoid data truncation and so on. The major part of the thesis consists in the next four chapters, which involve a thorough demographic analysis of natural fertility levels and trends for the nation as a whole, and of different aspects such as urban-rural differentials, regional variations and educational divergences. The proximate determinants: fecundability and birth intervals, breastfeeding, primary sterility, and age at first marriage are also analyzed at length. Finally, the importance of socio-economic conditions on natural fertility change is analysed. The quantitative relationship between natural fertility and these socio-economic conditions was statistically tested and an analytical model was built, which proves to be well able to simulate the identified trends in natural fertility.

Full text

Abstract:

My dissertation examines the unacknowledged role of negative female models from traditional literature in constructing the modern woman in China. It draws upon literary and historical sources to examine how modern cultural figures resuscitated and even redeemed qualities associated with traditional shrews in their perceptions and constructions of the new woman across the first half of the twentieth century. By linking the literary trope of the shrew, associated with imperial China, with the twentieth-century figure of the new woman, my work bridges the transition from the late-imperial to the modern era and foregrounds the late-imperial roots of Chinese modernization. The scope of my dissertation includes depictions of shrews/new women in literary texts, the press, theater, and public discourses from the Republican to the Socialist period. Although there exists a rich body of work on both traditional shrew literature and the new woman narrative, no one has addressed the confluence of the two in Chinese modernity. Scholars of late imperial Chinese literature have claimed that shrew literature disappeared when China entered the modern age. Studies on the new woman focus on specific social and cultural contexts during the different periods of modernizing China; few scholars have traced the effects that previous female types had on the new woman. My research reveals the importance of the traditional shrew in contributing to the construction and reception of the new woman, despite the radically changing ideologies of the twentieth century. As I argue, the feisty, rebellious modern women in her many guises as suffragette, sexual independent, and gender radical are female types grafted onto the violent, sexualized, and transgressive typologies of the traditional shrew. My research contributes to the studies of Chinese modernity and the representations of Chinese women. First, it bridges the artificial divide between modern and traditional studies of China and expands the debates about the nature of Chinese modernity. Second, it brings to light the underexamined constructions of the new woman as an empowered social actor through her genealogical connections to the traditional shrew. Third, it provides a methodology for rethinking the contested depiction of women in Chinese modernity.

Abstract:

In 1930s and 1940s Shanghai, musicians and artists from different cultures and varied backgrounds joined and made the golden age of Shanghai popular song which suggests the beginnings of Chinese popular music in modern times. However, Shanghai popular song has long been neglected in most works about the modern history of Chinese music and remains an unexplored area in Shanghai studies. This study aims to reconstruct a historical view of the Shanghai popular music industry and make a stylistic analysis of its musical products. The research is undertaken at two levels: first, understanding the operating mechanism of the ‘platform’ and second, investigating the components of the ‘products’. By contrasting the hypothetical flowchart of the Shanghai popular music industry, details of the producing, selling and consuming processes are retrieved from various historical sources to reconstruct the industry platform. Through the first level of research, it is found that the rising new media and the flourishing entertainment industry profoundly influenced the development of Shanghai popular song. In addition, social and political changes and changes in business practices and the organisational structure of foreign record companies also contributed to the vast production, popularity and commercial success of Shanghai popular song. From the composition-performance view of song creation, the second level of research reveals that Chinese and Western musical elements both existed in the musical products. The Chinese vocal technique, Western bel canto and instruments from both musical traditions were all found in historical recordings. When ignoring the distinctive nature of pentatonicism but treating Chinese melodies as those on Western scales, Chinese-style tunes could be easily accompanied by chordal harmony. However, the Chinese heterophonic feature was lost in the Western accompaniment texture. Moreover, it is also found that the traditional rules governing the relationship between words and the melody was dismissed in Shanghai popular songwriting. The findings of this study fill in the neglected part in modern history of Chinese music and add to the literature on the under-explored musical area in Shanghai studies. Moreover, this study also demonstrates that against a map illustrating how musical products moved from record companies to consumers along with all other involved participants, the history of popular music can be rediscovered systematically by using songs as evidence, treating media material carefully and tracking down archives and surviving participants.

Abstract:

The underlying theme of this dissertation is to focus on analysing complex and incremental change by applying the concept of regime change. Only when we undertake an analysis, which focuses on changes within a specific political-economic setting, will we be able to assess the extent and dynamic of political-economic change that occurred over a specific period of time. Regime as applied in this dissertation refers to a middle level of cohesion in the political economy of a nation state. It therefore differs from its common usage in linking a regime to a specific government or the state; as such this thesis also contributes towards generating additional awareness in distinguishing between the state, the government and a regime. It is further argued that the concept of regime change is both specific and flexible enough to cover a diverse range of case studies. To test the application of the theoretical framework two distinctive case studies, China and Japan, were selected. The concept or regime change also informs our understanding of the complexity and particularity of specific cases and the processes of complex change they experienced, like in the cases of China and Japan.

Abstract:

This dissertation is a study of how Hong Kong and Japanese cinema constructed an imaginary of cosmopolitanism in films for a global market through co-production during the Cold War. Co-production examined in the dissertation is not limited to co-produced films. In the mid-1950s to the late 1960s, Hong Kong and Japanese cinema had frequent contact, which included co-organizing a film festival, exchanging film talents, and adapting films. Neutral terms like collaboration and cooperation describing the interchange between Japanese and Hong Kong cinema often disguised their competition in an uneven power relationship. Focusing on the two major studios in Hong Kong, i.e., Shaw Brothers and Cathay Organization, this dissertation examines their relationship with Japanese cinema by analyzing the complex negotiations inherent throughout the collaboration.;The dissertation conceptualizes the tension between Hong Kong and Japanese cinema as a spatial struggle, in which the materiality of space played a critical role. Japanese cinema's attempts to maintain its hegemony and dominance in Asia and Hong Kong cinema's endeavors to improve its position in the hierarchy of regional and global film industries contributed to the production of space. The space of production such as the cinematic space in films, in turn, influenced the dynamic between the two cinemas. Each chapter examines different forces within the production of space with common concern on the space of production that the two cinemas competed to construct a worldview beneficial to its own respective positioning in the region and the world. The forces at work are the role of technology at the Southeast Asian Film Festival, the embodiment of Hong Kong star in the co-produced films, and the border-crossing of Japanese talent to work in Hong Kong. The dissertation argues that through co-production with Japanese cinema, Hong Kong's film industry imbued its stars and films with a fantasy of cosmopolitanism for a global market, without challenging the patriarchal family ideology of Chinese society. The spatial struggle with Hong Kong cinema demonstrates that Japanese cinema attempted to define itself as a leader in Asia while confronting the West during the Cold War.

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the development of the genre of landscape photography in China between the 1840s and the 1930s. Largely unstudied, this genre significantly impacted on a larger socio-cultural context. Due to the current fragmented and disorderly state of photographic archives, I have adopted an object oriented-approach by bringing together hitherto isolated bodies of material held in different institutions across several countries. The connection between this widely dispersed material is related to what I have framed as a French awareness in photographic activity in China. In other words, it concerns not only the production of French operators themselves but also any type of Chinese landscape photographs disseminated in France. The threefold thesis structure unfolds chronologically and through a selection of case studies regarded as pivotal landmarks that marked the first century of photography in China. Enquiries into how shifting ways of seeing and methods for constructing archives were shaped through the materiality of the photographs are threads that run throughout the sections. In Section I, I retrace the early production and consumption of Chinese landscape photography during the second half of the nineteenth century both in France and China. Section II concerns the ways in which photographic records created during campaigns of exploration represented new technological and expressive options for depicting Chinese landscape. Finally, Section III suggests that during the early part of the twentieth century both indigenous and international operators became increasingly inclined to represent landscape according to pre-established local conceptions. The aim of this study is to assess the role of photography in transmitting and transforming perceptions of Chinese landscapes, and the extent to which they relate to changes in sociocultural, economical and political life during the transition from the mid-nineteenth century to early twentieth centuries.
