Four seasons: A study of Chen Yi's Si Ji
No full textThe purpose of this study is to draw attention to the hybrid of Eastern and Western musical elements, in Chen Yi’s orchestral work Si Ji. In this dissertation, Chen Yi’s Si Ji will be thoroughly discussed by a detailed analysis of the work as well as the background of Chen Yi’s musical world, and the poetry she is inspired by. It will show how the music produces a hybrid of East and West. I hope this dissertation will serve as a valuable source for other composers seeking their own musical colors, as well as researchers interested in the crossing of Eastern and Western music.Item withdrawn by Mark Zulauf ([email protected]) on 2010-11-16T21:19:48Z

Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply
No full textThis reply responds to a comment by Cannon (2011) that opens the debate on consistency of the effect of downloading PowerPoint slides before lectures on students’ exam performance. Cannon (2011) points out potential endogeneity problems in Chen and Lin (2008) and attempts to explore the unconditional mean effect of downloading PowerPoint slides for the full sample. In this reply, we firstly argue that the estimates in our original article are consistent since the effect of interest is the “conditional†treatment effect but not the unconditional mean effect. We provide explanations for our rationale of estimating the “conditional†treatment effect. Secondly, we propose a modified downloading variable to replicate Cannon’s analysis. Our results suggest that downloading PowerPoint slides before the exam does not produce a significant effect on absent students’ exam performance which is different from the results in Cannon (2011). Our analysis does support Cannon’s argument that students fixed effects are different across different attendance status.

A Play: Chen Zi-Gao, the Male Queen
No full text這是一個以明代曲家王驥德的雜劇「男王后」為本，再加以參照正史、筆記小說，並融入現代性別概念後，加以重新創作的劇本。情描寫將軍陳劍，在戰場上偶然與陳子高相遇，為其美色傾心，便贈與寶劍並收為隨身侍衛，與子高產生戀情。凱旋歸家之後，安排陳子高住西廂，與妻子沈妙容共同生活在一起。陳劍妹妹玉華，偶然遇見陳子高，誤認為子高是她的未婚夫，後來雖然得知事實真相，但仍然深愛子高。於是夜間便去至西廂，與子高發生戀情。子高徘徊在兄妹男女兩人之間，同時與兩人相愛。最後東窗事發，陳劍要子高做出選擇，子高選擇了陳劍，玉華因而鬱悶而死。子高便與沈妙容一同服侍陳劍。劇企圖重新塑造陳子高陰陽並濟的特質，使他與陳劍的男男戀，展現出真實性，並以陳玉華主動的女性情慾追求為對照，在權力與性別糾葛之中，表現出獨特情感與戲劇衝突，務使在戲曲傳統才子佳人模式之外，透過當代的同志性別概念來重新詮釋，開發出獨特的伴侶關係與情感糾葛，重新塑造有當代觀的，不受性別限制的愛情傳奇。論文除劇本之外，一併收錄創作源由，說明筆者創作本劇的來龍去脈，及劇本完成之後的詳細分析，以供參考。This is a play adapted from the original play: “The Male Queen,” written by Wang Chi-Te in Ming dynasty.
