In Conversation : JJ Chan & Yuen Fong Ling
No full textJJ Chan and Yuen Fong Ling reflect on their practices and what it means to struggle against racist structures as artists. Hosted by Bloc Projects, this conversation between JJ Chan and Yuen Fong Ling took place during a week-long public programme called ‘What do we know (anyway)?’.
In March 2020, JJ wrote an open letter to the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (CFCCA) that outlines their experiences working with the institution. Having sensitively invited the centre to respond to the systemic racism they encountered there, CFCCA convened the Artist Working Group (AWG). Yuen was part of AWG, whose task was to help the institution 'revision' itself. The centre, however, withdrew after a number of months, citing their own ‘white fragility' as the reason. The seven artists have issued a full report of their work with CFCCA and are leading a petition to ‘defund’ the institution on the grounds that it is ‘not fit for purpose’. As these recent events reverberate in the air, JJ Chan and Yuen Fong Ling spoke to each other about the difficulties of making work, the problem of 'diversity' tick boxing and strategies to challenge bad institutional practices. Reflecting on the performance, facilitation and soft activism that underscore the work and lives of both artists, they asked: who are the main actors in the stories that shape our lives and our societies, and who has been omitted and forgotten? Does our artistic labour play a part in the selective imagining of wider society because of the ways in which it is presented or curated? How, then, do our practices have agency in the current moment
Chao Yuen Ren (1892–1982)
No full textY. R. Chao is easily the most famous linguist to have come out of China. Born before the end of the last dynasty in China, he received a traditional Confucian education, but was also one of the first Chinese people to be sent to the West for training in modern Western science (under the Boxer Indemnity Fund). The remarkable breadth and scope of his studies included physics, mathematics, linguistics, musical and literary composition, and translation, and he was a pioneer in many of these fields

Get PDFChinese clan associations can be found in many parts of the world, due to the Chinese emigration from mainland China in the 1800s. This paper contextualises the study of Chinese clan associations within the Asian approach to cultural heritage preservation. In particular, it takes the case of Cantonese clan associations, a dialect group of the Chinese, whose clan associations have been studied less extensively in comparison to other dialects such as Hokkien and Hakka. The case study used is the Chan See Shu Yuen Clan Association Kuala Lumpur & Selangor (CSSY), which was originally set up by a founder of Cantonese origin, and now operates as a cultural centre as well as a tourist attraction in a strategic location in Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur. Fieldwork consisted of participant observation which included photography, videography, and focus group discussions with the clan association’s board of trustees; and a content analysis of documents such as its yearbook, brochures, and the association’s website. We identified the condition of transnationalism as outlined by Vertovec (1997), in which the clan association had undergone an evolution of its original functions and therefore remained relevant.Las asociaciones de clanes chinas se encuentran en muchas partes del mundo, debido
a la emigración china desde la China continental durante los años 1800. Este artículo
contextualiza el estudio de esas asociaciones desde el enfoque asiático a la
preservación de la herencia cultural. En particular, se toma el caso de las asociaciones
de clanes cantonesas, un grupo dialectal de las chinas cuyas asociaciones de clanes
han sido estudiadas menos extensivamente en comparación con otros dialectos como
el hokkien o el hakka. El estudio de caso utilizado es el Chan See Shu Yuen Clan
Association Kuala Lumpur & Selangor (CSYY), cuyo fundador era de origen
cantonés y que ahora opera como un centro cultural además de una atracción turística
en una localización estratégica en Kuala Lumpur, la capital de Malasia. El trabajo de
campo consistió en una observación participante que incluyó fotografía, videografía
y reuniones de grupos de debate con la junta directiva de la asociación, así como un
análisis del contenido de documentos como el anuario, folletos o la web de la
asociación. Identificamos la condición de transnacionalismo esbozada por Vertovec
(1997), según la cual la asociación ha vivido una evolución en sus funciones originales
y, así, ha seguido siendo relevant
