Comparative Literature in Chinese and an Interview with Yue
No full textIn their article Comparative Literature in Chinese and an Interview with Daiyun Yue Hui Zhang and Daiyun Yue present a review of the discipline of comparative literature based on an interview with Yue (2010). Because Yue\u27s work with comparative literature is intertwined with her personal journey, the interview sheds light on other Chinese scholars and their work who would not be known audiences outside China. The interview also touches on the academic and political reasons why the joint dualisms of ancient/modern and Chinese/foreign continue to be major structuring principles of the discipline in China, as well as how the development of the discipline in China was influenced by engagements with Anglophone U.S. and Canadian scholars and institutions
Migrant workers, collaborative research and spatial pressures : an interview with Meng Yue
No full textIn July last year I had the opportunity to interview Meng Yue, literary scholar and author of Shanghai and the Edges of Empire (2006). Meng Yue has been collaborating with Toronto-based architect and artist Adrian Blackwell for a number of years, with their students from literature and architecture undertaking highly interesting research on the peripheral zones of Beijing. Questions of peri-urban food production, land use, resource distribution and the multiplication of labour skills have framed these investigations. The interview below is extracted from a considerably longer discussion we had in Beijing during the late summer of 2007, half of which was lost to the faulty battery of an ipod (the rest remains to be transcribed from video…)

Case Study Fu Yue
No full textTato bakalářská práce se zabývá reflexí vztahu sociálního kapitálu umělce a instituce, která je zprostředkovatelem tohoto kapitálu. Zaměřuje se na konkrétní případ Fu Yue, dokumentární režisérky, která použila prostor určený k přednesu děkovné řeči při příležitosti přebírání ocenění za svůj film pro politický projev, který je považován v oblasti, kde se pohybuje, za kontroverzní. Za pomoci analýzy dokumentů, mediálních obsahů a vlastního rozhovoru s Fu Yue sleduje principy interakčních rituálů v rámci platforem pro předávání filmových ocenění. Teoretickým základem jsou teze Pierra Bourdieua, Émile Durkheima a Randalla Collinse. Studie poodhalila tendenci davu nevystupovat z komfortní zóny a účinnost tezí Randalla Collinse v souvislosti s emočním nastavením kolektivu, účastnícím se slavnostních ceremonií.This bachelor thesis focuses on the reflection of the relationship between the social capital of the artist and the institution that mediates this capital. It focuses on the specific case of Fu Yue, a documentary director, which used her acceptance speech in occasion of receiving a film award for a political gesture, which considered as controversial in her field. By analysis of written documents, media content and face-to-face interviews with Fu Yue work observes the principles of interactive rituals within the award-winning platforms. The theoretical basis of this work is delivered via theses of Pierre Bourdieu, Émile Durkheim and Randall Collins. Study shows tendency of a crowd not to step out of a comfort zone and the effectiveness of Randall Collins theses in connection with the emotional set-up of the collective participating in the festive ceremonies
How can one be perfected by music?—contemporary educational significance of Chinese pre-Qin Confucian thought on Yue Jiao (music education)
No full textMy dissertation project is an examination of aesthetic thought of Chinese pre-Qin Confucians with a focus on the idea of Yue Jiao (Music Education). Confucius, the founder of the Confucian School is regarded as the first educational philosopher in Chinese history both chronologically and in importance. A central theme in his aesthetics is that the final perfection of one’s personhood as an integrated whole is accomplished by the study of music. In this project, I will analyze key aspects in Confucian notion of music and education, and the links between those two and harmonized social relations. In my project, I propose to argue that education of a personhood as a whole is central to be a human being in today’s world. I suggest that aesthetic education, music education in particular, has an indispensible role in developing a harmonious balance between our rational intelligence and emotional sensibilities. Music education provides an ideal for living in the world today when unity is achieved without eliminating diversities.
My discussion of the contemporary educational significance of Yue Jiao contains two dimensions: (a) cultural, educational communications and mutual learning between the East and West; and (b) a reflective dialogue on education between history and the present. In the first dimension, I find considerable resonance and significant differences between Confucian aesthetics and key issues in ancient Greek aesthetics. Both traditions have a long history of the important role of music in human development and education. But they differ in their understanding of the foundation of musical value: for the ancient Chinese, it is emotive and social; for the ancient Greece, it is mostly rational.
With the second dimension, I argue that a close examination of Confucian thought on Yue Jiao will contribute to the reflection on the nature and role of education in today’s world. For how we educate a student to develop her personhood as a whole in a modern world of fragmentation and over specialization is the most critical question that educational philosophers must address. For this purpose, this project will discuss how ancient Chinese aesthetic traditions may bring new ways for us to understand contemporary educational problems and work on solutions, in ways that bear some relation to Western aesthetic traditions but also diverge in significant ways.Item withdrawn by Mark Zulauf ([email protected]) on 2012-06-26T14:12:08Z

The structure of chuan yue xiao shuo as a narrative
No full textChuan Yue Xiao Shuo appeared in Chinesewebsite in the late of 1990's as a popular fun fiction on the internet, which described how modern women go back to the ancient times and search for their truelove. When Chuan Yue Xiao Shuo began to attract a wider readership, it also attracted the attention of literary critics. But it turned out that it is difficult to define even the concept of Chuan Yue Xiao Shuo. By focusing on the function and the structure of Chuan Yue Xiao Shuo, we may make clear the nature of Chuan Yue Xiao Shuo as narrative today
Pedagogical Questions in Parent-Child Conversations
No full textQuestioning is a core component of formal pedagogy. Parents commonly question children, but do they use questions to teach? This article defines "pedagogical questions" as questions for which the questioner already knows the answer and intended to help the questionee learn. Transcripts of parent-child conversations were collected from the CHILDES database to examine the frequency and distribution of pedagogical questions. Analysis of 2,166 questions from 166 mother-child dyads and 64 father-child dyads (child's age between 2 and 6 years) showed that pedagogical questions are commonplace during day‐to‐day parent-child conversations and vary based on child's age, family environment, and historical era. The results serve as a first step toward understanding the role of parent-child questions in facilitating children's learning.Preprint provided, so should not violate copyright, embargoPeer reviewe
The Language Choices in the Personal Social Domain of the Kuala Lumpur Yue Community: Cases Analysis and Comparison of Three Female Yue Community Members
No full textWhile Yue is the predominant language in certain regions of Malaysia, previous sociolinguistics studies have mostly focused on the usage of other Sinitic languages in the local context. The discussion of the situation of Yue in certain regions is relatively limited. The author conducted a survey with three Chinese female members of the Kuala Lumpur Yue Community from August 2023 to May 2024 to investigate their language choices. This paper summarizes the findings of the survey, describing and comparing the interviewees’ language choices in the family and friend occasions, which are parts of the personal social domain. It then contrasts these findings with existing large-scale language surveys conducted in Malaysia, aiming to enhance the sociolinguistic understanding of the Kuala Lumpur Yue Community
Rural Income Volatility and Inequality in China
No full textAvailable data indicates a growing urban-rural income gap (the ratio of mean urban to rural incomes) with a significant increase from around 1.8 in the late 1980's to over 3 today. These estimates do not take into account the higher volatility of rural incomes in China. Current literature based on analyses of rural income volatility in China decomposes poverty into chronic and transient components using longitudinal survey data and assesses the fraction of the Foster, Greer and Thorbecke poverty gap attributable to mean income over time being below the poverty line. Resulting estimates of 40-50 % transient poverty point to the policy conclusion that poverty may be a less serious social problem than it appears in annual data due to rural income volatility. Here we use a direct method instead to adjust rural income for volatility using a certainty equivalent income measure and recompute summary statistics for the distribution of volatility corrected incomes, including the urban-rural income gap on which much of current poverty debate in China focuses. Since an uncertain income stream is worth less in utility terms than a certain income stream we argue that heightened rural volatility increases the effective urban-rural income gap and intensifies not weakens poverty concerns. Using Chinese longitudinal rural survey data for which current decompositions can be replicated, we make adjustments for certainty equivalence of rural household income streams which not only widen the urban-rural income gap in China but also increases other distributional summary statistics. Depending upon values used for the coefficient of relative risk aversion, the measured urban-rural income gap increases by 20-30% using a certainty equivalent measure to adjust rural incomes for volatility. We also conduct similar analyses using consumption data, for which slightly larger increases occur.
