    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 text
    This 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

    An Interflow between Yang-Ping and Qu : in comparison with an interflow between Shang and Qu

    No full text
    A total of 333 characters have been found in the interflow between the tones Yang-Ping and Qu ; 75 of which, also involve Shang, making it a three-way interflow. The changes from Qu to Yang-Ping have a completion rate of 62. 1 % and a reversal rate of 10.3 %, as compared to the 21.9 % of completion rate and 50.0 % of reversal rate for changes from Yang-Ping to Qu. These are indications that Qu -> Yang-Ping change was not only the more dominant move but also an earlier move. The wave of changes that began at earlier times not only shows a higher rate of completion but also exerted pressure on changes in the opposite direction, making them turn back halfway.L'auteur montre qu'au total 333 caractères aux tons Yang-Ping et Qu ont évolués entre le chinois ancien et le chinois moderne de Pékin. Ceci confirme les résultats d'autres auteurs sur les changements de ton et nous autorise à nous poser la question de la validité des règles phonétiques universellement acceptées, qui auraient régi jusqu'à aujourd'hui l'évolution tonale de la langue incluant les transitions du ton Ru.Chen Chung-yu.
