Screening: Woman Sesame Oil Maker 香魂女
Date: Tuesday, June 5, 2018
Time: 7-9pm
Location: School of Cinematic Arts (SCA) 110, USC
Free.
About the Film
Xiang is hard-working, running a small sesame oil business. Her husband is lazy and a drunk; her son is mentally handicapped. When Japanese investors provide capital to expand Xiang''''s business, she has the wealth to raise her social standing and buy a wife for her son, Dunzi. When money and a forceful personality fail to bend others to her will, including daughter-in-law Huanhuan, Xiang must find another way to tranquility.
Xie Fei was born in Yan''''an in 1937 and graduated from the Beijing Film Academy in the 1960s. Xie has directed nine films during his long career, all of which have been showered with acclaim, both at home and from abroad. His movie Black Snow won the Silver Bear Award for personal achievement at the Berlin Film Festival in 1989, where he later won the Golden Bear Award for Woman Sesame Oil Maker in 1992. Three years later his touching movie A Mongolian Tale won Best Director at the Montreal Film Festival. Most of Xie''''s films have been adapted from famous Chinese novels, helping to offer a deeper insight into Chinese history and culture. The movies focus on the lives of ordinary people who struggle in vain to come to terms with the limitations imposed by the society they live in. Xie was a visiting scholar at USC 1988-1989.

(No)worries about China: Contemporary Intellectual Trends and Their Social Environment
Thursday, May 17, 2018
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 11372
Talk by Chaohua Wang, UCLA
In 2007, Gloria Davies published a heavy book, entitled Worrying about China: The Language of Chinese Critical Inquiry (Harvard UP). Her analysis traces the “worrying” mentality (youhuan yishi) back to Confucian literati traditions centuries old, but is primarily focused on the twentieth century, especially modern intellectual traditions since the May Fourth period. More than a decade later, do Chinese intellectual discourses still overwhelmingly dwell on “worrying” about China? Examining major intellectual trends against their socio-political environment in the past ten to twenty years, this study finds that, along with China’s rise to an economic superpower status in the world, as well as with increasingly heavy-handed managing of the Communist Party, intellectual discourses have strayed away from the once conventional position of “worrying about China” into various new directions. In the eve of the centennial of the May Fourth movement of popular protest in 1919, the new trends indicate declining importance of intellectuals in public life and potential social crisis that may revive public demand of intellectual guidance in a near future.
ChaoHua Wang, an independent scholar visiting UCLA as a guest lecturer, earned her Ph.D. from the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at UCLA, with a focus on modern intellectual history of the late Qing and early Republican periods. Her research interest also covers modern and contemporary Chinese literature, as well as contemporary intellectual life and political development in P.R. China, China’s Hong Kong SAR, and ROC Taiwan. She is currently working on an essay collection of contemporary Chinese intellectual life.

I am a big fan of hi2net.com, I think your writing style is great!
Anyway, while I was reading through your site I noticed that you had added a few links into your existing articles to sites that are similar to mine. I was just wondering if you would be interested in posting some content we believe your readers would love. Is this something you’d allow?
Let me know what you think, and I will be in contact with further details.
Have a great day!
Thanks,
Tom

The Body as a Means for Political Mobilization: Portrait Photo between Journalism and Propaganda, Minli Pao ''''s covering of the assassination of Song Jiaoren as Case
Tuesday, May 08, 2018
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10383, UCLA
Talk by Gu Zheng, Fudan University
Song Jiaoren (Sung Chiao-jen,1882-1913) was a revolutionist and the founder of the Kuomintang (KMT).He was assassinated in March of 1913 in Shanghai after his leading KMT to victory in China’s first democratic election.
This talk will investigate how the members of KMT who owned Minli Pao(民立报)published in Shanghai as both mouthpiece of the revolutionary party and mass media produce and use the images of Song’s corpse for the purpose of mibilizing the mass to.protest the assassination.This talk will try to explore portrait photo’s function and practice between propaganda and journalism and its usage as a means of visual mobilization from three aspects of production, distribution and consumption in the Republican Shanghai.
Language as an instrument of social reform in Modern China since the late 19th century
Wednesday, May 09, 2018
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Royce 243
ALC Dept Lounge, UCLA
Talk by Ping Chen, University of Queensland
As well as being a medium of cognitive and conceptual development, and the most important means of communication, language may also serve as a powerful instrument of social reform. This utilitarian role has been brought into full play in Modern China since the late 19th century at a scale hardly paralleled elsewhere. One of the major goals of the social and linguistic reform from the outset was unification of speech and writing (言文合一). This lecture will explore the gamut of historical, social, political and linguistic factors underlying major proposals and practice toward that goal, and discuss their implications on Chinese language education in general and teaching Chinese as a second language in particular.
Indigenous Knowledge, Taiwan: Comparative and Relational Perspectives
Friday, May 11 - Saturday, May 12
314 Royce Hall, UCLA
UCLA-NTNU Taiwan Studies Initiative Conference
This conference aims to engender transnational conversations about indigenous knowledge, with Taiwan as its comparative pivot and relational node. Setting discussions on indigenous knowledge and settler colonialism in Taiwan in dialogue with those in the United States, Okinawa, and the Philippines, this conference explores some initial and necessarily broad questions: What is indigenous knowledge and how is it defined in different places? How is indigenous knowledge relevant to such taxonomies as philosophy, epistemology, ontology, or cosmology? How has it been suppressed and/or erased, and how has it transformed and grown over time? What is being preserved, lost, and strengthened, and what might be the politics and poetics of preservation, loss, transformation, and growth? How have settler colonizers perceived, represented, and usurped indigenous knowledge? What imaginary of the future does indigenous knowledge present? How is indigenous knowledge a resource for all?
In Taiwan, the indigenous Austronesian peoples have been subjected to settler colonialism by waves of Han people from China for over three centuries, during which other colonial regimes came and went, including the Dutch Formosa in southern Taiwan (1642-1662), the Spanish Formosa in northern Taiwan (1646-1662), and Japanese colonial rule (1895-1945). For Austronesians, as is the case for all indigenous peoples living … |
