Mandarin lessons: modernity,colonialism and Chinese cultural nationalism in the Dutch East Indies,c.1900s

The Chinese Association in the Dutch East Indies, known locally as the Tiong Hoa Hwe Koan (THHK) was first established in Batavia in 1900. A key objective of the THHK’s foundation was the creation of modern schools instructing in Mandarin for local Chinese students. At the turn of the 20th century, this odd choice of instructional language led to highly charged debates about languages, pedagogical efficacy, practicality, modernity-tradition and cultural authenticity. Using underutilized source materials in the local Malay-Hokkien vernacular, this article revisits these debates amongst the Chinese in the Dutch colony. This article interrogates the transparency of common ethnicity in analyses of Chinese nationalisms that developed outside of continental China. Drawing on the concept of “literary governance” as well as comparative work by scholars on Indian and continental Chinese nationalisms, it demonstrates the significance of the colonial context which provoked the THHK to adopt the vocabulary of modernity in reworking progressive ideas circulating in displaced Chinese nationalistic circles. Notwithstanding the THHK’s promotion of Mandarin, such reworking was accomplished through vigorous acts of transliteration and translation in the hybridized Malay-Hokkien vernacular. The THHK was hardly on the receiving end of nationalistic influences emanating from the proverbial China core but was an active agent in what has been described as a “global moment of Chinese nationalism.” The case of the THHK demonstrates the need for a finer understanding of multivalent histories of Chinese nationalisms as well as how these histories intersected with those of European colonialism in Southeast Asia.     

The trajectory of the “Third World” in early modern Chinese thought

In this essay, I trace two aspects of the thought on the “Third World” in early modern China: how to understand the world revolution, and how to create a new China. While focusing on two trendy notions at that time, i.e. “Chinese revolution” (Zhongguo geming), and “nong country” (nongguo), I argue that the thought on the “Third World” in early modern China breaks free of the shackle of fashionable theories and draws upon local circumstances and China’s own repertoire of power when exploring an ideal of a new world. While the difficulty in confronting the “Third World” consciousness in today’s China is still overwhelming, the fact that we now remember “the spirit of Bandong” signals some progress.     

对学校武术教育的历史回眸与当代发展的思考

摘要：现在是一个传统文化发展最为美好的时代。这一点不仅仅存在于文化界,而更为火热的却是在学校教育领域。作为长期存在于学校教育中的武术教育,正是在这一背景下开始被国家行政主管部门的高度重视。在文献资料查阅的基础上,运用历史学研究方法,对学校武术教育发展历程进行分段梳理和特点归纳;并在“思想是变革的先声,理论是实践的指南”指导下,就学校武术当代发展的一些问题在进行了学理上的思考。研究认为：坚持从传统武术拳种出发的学校武术教育内容的实施,才应该是我们的正确选择;下大力气建构起具有独立文化体系的学校武术教育平台抑或是校本课程,才是实现学校武术教育繁荣发展的有效路径;通过武术在学校教育中的务实推进和开展,让更多的学生体认和感知中国传统文化的精神实质,才应该是我们找回学校武术教育在学校教育中主导地位的最强动力;那种只将中国武术看成学校体育教育的部分内容或者一个领域的做法,显然是不明智的。     

English Proficiency,Identity, Anxiety,and Intergroup Attitudes: US Americans’ Perceptions of Chinese

Guided by the Common Ingroup Identity Model and Berry’s acculturation framework, this study examined the roles that perceptions of language proficiency, cultural identity, and communication anxiety had on intergroup attitudes and stereotypes in the American–Chinese contact context. Serial mediation analyses with 10,000 bootstrap samples revealed that perceived English proficiency of a Chinese contact had significant indirect effects on affective and behavioral attitudes toward Chinese through American participants’ perceptions of their contact’s host and home culture identification and communication anxiety. Perceived English proficiency had an indirect effect only on positive stereotypes through the Chinese contact’s perceived identification with home culture.

《尔雅》讹脱补正举隅--兼谈版本校勘在文献学教学中的应用

原本《玉篇》部分抄本残卷中的书证、例证之于传世文献典籍的整理、校读具有重要价值。根据原本《玉篇》残卷所引《尔雅》这条书证材料,并以《名义》《玉篇》《切韵》《广韵》等传世字书、韵书为佐证,结合汉字俗写变异规律,考证出传世本《尔雅》“静也”条之“谥”即“”字之误。同时,在考辨传世本《尔雅》“静也”条之“谥”这一讹文的过程中,利用原本《玉篇》残卷引用《尔雅》的书证材料,校补了传世本《尔雅》的两处脱文。此种研究路径也可进一步佐证版本校勘在文献学教学中的重要作用。

The temporal pocket: 1990s Beijing artist colonies

In recent years, a small but growing body of scholarship has emerged on the category of the Chinese art district, particularly its institutionalisation amidst twenty-first century creative industries polices. Such research presents important stories of Chinese artists’ negotiations with urban and political authority, thus nuancing paradigms for the comprehension of political work within contemporary China. This current article contributes to this growing research area by considering the spatial conditions for these socio-spatial categories’ emergence, namely, the urban structures in which they first took shape in 1990s Beijing. First occupying traditional villages (cunzi) and later ex-socialist work units (danwei), these arts colonies appropriated existing communal architecture, and turned their designs and physical buildings to their own communal ends. Importantly, these sites were made available by the dramatic reconstruction of the city, and in this sense these occupations were limited to the temporal realm. To describe the nature of occupations, and their eventual impact upon the shape of the city, this paper proposes the category of “the temporal pocket”: a cellular and temporary inhabitance, defined by the shared investments of its participants, and one that is both discrete (in the sense of its spaces) and discreet (in the sense that this can be understood as a non-oppositional politics). The article is informed by spatial and cultural theory, literature on Chinese urban planning and art history, as well as primary documents (such as documentaries, art works and archival material) and interviews conducted by the researcher in Beijing.
