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

No full textEutetrapha weni Huang & Lin, 2016 Figs. 63–65 Eutetrapha weni Huang & Lin, 2016: 590, figs. 1–23. Diagnosis. This species can be separated from congeners by the unique brick red brown pubescence and unique elytral markings, larger body size, and unique golden brown metatarsi. Remarks. For descriptions, see paper by Huang & Lin (2016). The description of male genitalia was in older style (Huang & Lin 2 016) and some terminology terms are changed in this work: median lobe plus median struts = median lobe; internal sac = endophallus; basal armature = basal plate-like sclerites; rods of endophallus = rod-like sclerites.

Brecht and China : a mutual response
No full textThis thesis deals with the cross-cultural relations between Brecht and China
through an analysis of how Brecht responded to the traditional Chinese theatre and
how his drama was received in turn by modern Chinese theatre. It attempts to
examine the respective socio-cultural or political contexts wherein such kind of crosscultural
contacts were needed, and the consequent aesthetic-theatrical as well as
socio-cultural or political changes brought about by these contacts that have produced
two distinctively independent yet related forms of theatre.
It is argued that Brecht's search for a theatre style of his own amidst the sociocultural
as well as political crises between the two world wars made him look to the
East for inspirations, and his direct encounter with Mei Lanfang enabled him to
interpret the latter's acting in such a way that he responded to it with his postulation of
the alienation effect and modification of a gestic performance style. His repudiation
of the well-made dramatic theatre brought his epic theatre closer to the traditional
Chinese theatre whose aesthetic principles he shared in constructing a non-
Aristotelian episodic form of drama. In his experimentations with new modes of
theatrical expressions, he did not simply borrow or copy the forms and content of
classical Chinese drama; he appropriated, transformed and renewed them, for
example, in The Caucasian Chalk Circle, for the particular purpose of instructing
audiences in a scientific age.
China! s reception of Brecht has had much to do with the country's changing
socio-cultural as well as political situations. Chinese theatre practitioners responded
to him because he was a politically, culturally and aesthetically suitable figure. His
epic drama provided an alternative style for the Chinese in their attempt to innovate
their realist spoken drama imported from the West, and was also introduced into local
forms of performing arts in hope that the traditional Chinese theatre could be
resurrected. Furthermore, he prompted Huang Zuolin to theoretically re-examine
Chinese operas, which the latter integrated with techniques of Brecht and
Stanislavsky into spoken drama to establish a new theatre style called Xieyi drama

Huang, Liu & Gouverneur, 2015 (printed on a rectangular white label in black ink). Distribution. China (Fujian, Guangxi), Laos (Xieng Khouang). Remarks. Based on the holotype of Sternacanista retrospinosa Tippmann, 1955 and a series of specimens from Fujian and Guangxi Provinces (Huang et al., 2015), and a series of specimens of Neacanista laosensis (Breuning, 1965) from Laos (via photographs taken by James H. Boone), we conclude that these specimens are identical and propose the following new combination and synonymy: Neacanista retrospinosa (Tippmann, 1955) comb. nov. is the valid name according to the Principle of Priority (ICZN Article 23). Since Sternacanista retrospinosa Tippmann, 1955 is the genotype, Sternacanista Tippmann, 1955 is treated as a junior synonym of Neacanista Gressitt, 1940. According to Breuning (1965), the holotype specimen of Paracanthocinus laosensis should be 10 mm long by 4 mm wide. Regarding the type specimens, Breuning (1965) stated “Type du Laos, capturé dans la Plaine des Jarres, région de Xieng-Khouang, en Mars 1964, avec plusieurs paratypes.” We believe the specimen in the original photograph (Fig. 1E) should be considered the holotype specimen and that additional specimens from the same series should be considered paratypes. Rondon & Breuning (1970) published a more complete version of the same photograph in their figure 41g (Fig. 1F). The gender of the holotype was not mentioned and it is difficult to determine based on these two photographs. We were unable to examine the holotype which should be deposited in BPBM. There are 22 specimens in the BPBM (James H. Boone, personal communication, 2017-III-28), and the one in Figs. 1 G–J has been considered as the holotype. The holotype might have been remounted/repositioned after the photograph was taken (Figs. 1 E–F), shown in the original publication and Rondon & Breuning (1970). However, we conclude that the specimen shown in Figs. 1 G–I is not the holotype shown in the original paper, based on the black spots along the elytral suture and on the middle part of left elytron.Published as part of Huang, Gui-Qiang & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2018, Second note on the genus Neacanista Gressitt, 1940 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Acanthocinini), pp. 397-400 in Zootaxa 4524 (3) on pages 397-399, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4524.3.8, http://zenodo.org/record/261060
