The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
No full textThis thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour

Li3PO4-added garnet-type Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 for Li-dendrite suppression
No full text
This paper proposes a strategy to stabilize the garnet/Li interface by introducing Li3PO4 as an additive in garnet-type Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12. The Li3PO4-added Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 electrolyte exhibits a room temperature Li-ion conductivity of 1.4 x 10(-4) S cm(-1), which is less than that of the Li3PO4-free counterparts (4.6 x 10(-4) S cm(-1)). However, the presence of Li3PO4 improves the interfacial compatibility and suppresses Li-dendrite formation during Li-metal plating/stripping. The symmetric Li/garnet/Li cells with Li3PO4-added Li6.3La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 have been successfully cycled at a current density of 0.1 mA cm(-2) at 60 degrees C for 60 h; on contrast, the control cells with Li3PO4-free Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 display noisy potential with large voltage polarization and get short-circuited completely after 33-h cycling under the same operating condition. The outstanding interface stability can be attributed to the in situ reaction of the Li flux with Li3PO4 to form a self-limiting and ion-conducting interphase, Li3P, which is confirmed experimentally.
