A Conversation with Xianghong Feng, Author of Tourism and Prosperity in Miao Land
No full textIn this installment of Lexington Books\u27 Anthropology of Tourism: Heritage, Mobility and Society Author Conversations, series editor Michael A. Di Giovine talks to anthropologist Xianghong Feng, author of the book, Tourism and Prosperity in Miao Land: Power and Inequality in Rural China. With rich ethnographic detail, Feng focuses on the intersection of tourism development, power and inequality in the southern interior of China. Capital-intensive, elite-driven tourism has reshaped the social and cultural patterns of the ethnic Miao. Although tourism is often touted as able to empower women, lower classes, and minorities, Feng shows that often it reinforces the very power structures that it attempts to equalize

No full textThis is a curious book. The verso of the title-page says simply "Reprinted from the 1953 edition." From all I can learn, that is true, but that original was printed not by the University Press of the Pacific but by the Foreign Languages Press in Beijing. Indeed, it seems as though this book is a photocopy reprint of that original, and so even the page references in my comment on that book still apply here. These fables are often directly admonitory and/or of a highly political slant. Thus the author writes of skylarks "Poets like these are the true friends of the people" (6). The best of the fables, I believe, are "The Snake and the Rabbit" (42) and "The Original Rat" (61), which may also have the best illustration. Among the most overtly political are those on the imperialist weasel munching a duckling (27) and the imperialist snake against the collective bees (29). Other good fables include "The Hunter and His Wife" (12), "The Lion and the Setting Sun" (15), "The Lion and the Lamb" (34), "The Fox and the Rabbits' Farm" (39), "The Cow and Her Rope" (53), "The Curious Crow" (44), and "The Cow and Her Calf" (54). There is a T of C at the front after the highly political "Publisher's Note." 7½" x 9¼".Feng Hsueh-feng, translated by Gladys Yan

Fiorinia dinghuensis Wei & Feng, sp. n.
No full textFiorinia dinghuensis Wei & Feng sp. n. (Figs 9–16) Material examined. Holotype: adult female, China: Guangdong Province, Dinghu Mountain, 4 -vi- 1963, Coc 63255, coll. Chou IO (NWAFU). Paratypes: data same as holotype, 4 adult females (NWAFU). Description, n= 5. Mounted adult female. Appearance in life not recorded. Body 754–1041 μm long (holotype 620 μm long); 481–592 μm wide (holotype 509 μm wide). Body outline oval to fusiform. Derm membranous except for pygidium. Cephalothorax. Antennae present close together on a sclerotized area on anterior margin of body; each with a long seta; without an interantennal process. Anterior spiracles each with 5 trilocular pores; pores absent from posterior spiracles. Pygidial lobes. With 2 pairs of lobes: L 1 deeply sunk into pygidium, strongly zygotic, each lobe rather pointed and with 4 notches on inner margin; L 2 bilobed, inner lobules larger than outer lobules, rounded on apex, with 1 notch on each margin; outer lobules rounded on apex, with 1 obvious notch on outer margin. Setae. With 1 pair of setae present between L 1; 1 pair between L 1 and L 2, and a pair on margins of abdominal segments IV, V and VI. Gland spines with 6 pairs of short spines, with 2 pairs present on abdominal III and 3 pairs on abdominal segments IV plus 1 pair between Gland tubercles: 28–32 pairs present marginally on cephalothorax plus abdominal segment I. Macroducts. Marginal macroducts 2 -barred, with 1 pair between L 1 and L 2, 1 pair on abdominal segment VI, 2 pairs on each of abdominal segments IV and V but none between L 1. Submargial and submedial macroducts absent. Ventral microducts few and scattered. Anal opening small, 12–14 μm in diameter, positioned 37–45 μm from anterior margin of pygidium and 108–114 μm from the base of L 1. Perivulvar pores in 5 groups, 3–5 in median group, 10–14 in each anterolateral group and 16–20 in each posterolateral group. Remarks. The new species can easily be distinguished from other Fiorinia species by the presence of a sclerotized area on the anterior margin of the head. Fiorinia dinghuensis is similar to F. fioriniae Targioni-Tozzetti, 1867, and F. proboscidaria Green, 1900, in having 2 pairs of pygidial lobes, but can be distinguished by (character states for F. fioriniae in brackets): 1) the presence of 28–32 gland tubercles on the margins of cephalothorax plus abdominal segment I (absent), and 2) absence of gland spines between L 1 and L 2 (present). F. dinghensis differs from F. proboscidaria by (character states for F. fioriniae in brackets): 1) absence of an inter-antennal process between antennae (with a prominent inter-antennal process), and 2) absence of gland spines on abdominal segments V, VI and VII (present). Host. Acronychia pedunculata (Linn.) (Rutaceae). Etymology. The specific epithet refers to Dinghu Mountain, Guangdong Province, China, the type locality. Distribution.

A translation comparison of stray birds between Zheng Zhenduo’s version and Feng Tang’s version : from the perspective of manipulation theory
No full textThis paper employed Lefevere’s Manipulation Theory to explain respectively how
three main factors of Manipulation Theory, namely patronage, ideology and poetics
controlled Zheng Zhenduo’s and Feng Tang’s translation activity of Tagore’s Stray
Birds. And then the paper will analyze their translation strategies by comparing
certain poems in Stray Birds. However, author of this paper did not aim to reconfirm
Lefevere’s Manipulation Theory, but under his theoretical framework, tried to
interpret translation phenomenon from an extra-linguistic perspective.
Through analysis and comparison, the importance of three core elements was
different in those two versions. For Zheng Zhenduo, three main elements shared equal
impacts on his translation. His individual ideology and poetics conformed to
prevailing ideology and poetics in those days, and his patronage also exerted a
positive influence, therefore his Stray Birds received favorable reviews.
In Feng Tang’s case, individual poetics played the most important role. Although his
poetics reflected literary trends to some extent, but that is still not the mainstream in
today’s literary market. The translator’s subjectivity in Feng’s version was clearly
stronger than Zheng’s. For the purpose of literary innovation and commercial interests,
patronage did not manipulate Feng’s translation too much. As a result, Feng Tang’s
Stray Birds was forced to stop sales.

No full textOnce this book arrived, I thought it a repeat of something I already have. Closer inspection shows that I have a softbound second edition of 1955, while this is the first edition of 1953. Apparently the order of fables changed significantly in the second edition, though there are fifty-one fables here as there. As I mention there, the fables are often directly admonitory and/or of a highly political slant. Thus the author writes of skylarks ”Poets like these are the true friends of the people” (6). The best of the fables, I believe, are ”The Snake and the Rabbit (42) and ”The Original Rat” (61), which may also have the best illustration. Among the most overtly political are those on the imperialist weasel munching a duckling (27) and the imperialist snake against the collective bees (29). Other good fables include ”The Hunter and His Wife” (12), ”The Lion and the Setting Sun” (15), ”The Lion and the Lamb” (34), ”The Fox and the Rabbits' Farm” (39), ”The Cow and Her Rope” (53), ”The Curious Crow” (44), and ”The Cow and Her Calf” (54).
