Truth After cinema: The explosion of facts in the documentary films of Jia Zhangke
No full textThis is the author's accepted manuscript. The final published article is available from the link below. Copyright @ 2013 Intellect Books.This article identifies and elaborates on two models of resistance evident in JiaZhangke’s film corpus. The deployment of different cinematic strategies produces an experimental calling into question of the value of truth and of truth as value. In the films here analysed Jia moves from resistance through organic observation to a model of resistance structured around a series of fabulations. If the first regime addresses the truth of ideology, then the target of the second is the ideology of truth. It is in this passage that Jia enters political cinema, collapsing the distinction between factual and fictional and opening up a space that belongs to no collectivity
Bioanalysis Young Investigator: Jia Li
No full text Supervisor’s supporting comments I supervised Jia Li during her PhD research on the metabolic characterization of host–parasite interactions. Jia excelled at the analytical chemistry components of her thesis and specialized in the integration of multiplatform data (NMR, UPLC–MS, CE–MS and 454 data). Since obtaining her PhD (2009), she has achieved a prestigious Imperial College Junior Research Fellowship and has focused on applying data integration techniques to investigate mechanisms of bariatric surgery. To date she has 16 publications in journals including Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Molecular Systems Biology and Gut, many as first author. Her achievements include the characterization of multicompartmental changes in Schistosoma mansoni infected mice and the metabolic characterization of bariatric surgery in rats. She used NMR spectroscopic analysis, hierarchical principal component analysis and partial least square discriminant analysis to create systems level models of parasitic infection, and subsequently developed a CE method to validate the biomarkers. For the bariatric surgery model she applied a combination of UPLC–MS and NMR methods for profiling biofluids and related them to changes in the fecal microbiome profiled using 454 sequencing. She has presented her work at international conferences and has developed a network of external collaborations. Jia is an excellent role model; she is genuinely innovative and motivated, and has a flair for analytical technology. </jats:p
Chinese Communication Studies: Three Paths Converging
No full textThis contribution presents the possibilities for anthropological and neo-Marxist media within the hugely expanding sector of Chinese communication studies. China has sourced mostly from the American positivist tradition but is increasingly taking on board European critical thinking but it also needs to absorb some of the depth and diversity of indigenous scholarship existing in Chinese.
Jia, Lu, and Heisey (2002) presented an influential meta-analysis of every example of communication studies in China at that time. The book chapter which talks about the rise of the discipline and scholarship of Chinese communication as an academic discipline (Jia et al., 2014) summarises some of Chinese language scholarship in Chinese and called for the creation of a humanistic tradition of Chinese and East Asia communication studies informed by indigenous perspectives and China’s rich repertoire and vocabulary of concepts– face, guanxi or relations, goutong, harmony, and personhood etc.
Concluding that there is a need for all parties to do research on journalism and communication/ media in Asia, (particularly in China) from an anthropological perspective, this contribution argues that Asian scholars have a responsibility to create Asian approaches to communication and media studies. The effects of global neoliberalism is now being followed by a government response in China characterised in part by anti-corruption campaigns and a revival in Marxist approaches. A version of media studies that takes on board all the three elements would find fertile ground in the long run, supporting a more egalitarian and just China
Novel Feidu by Chinese author Jia Pingwa
No full textThis thesis analyses the novel Feidu (1993) by the contemporary Chinese writer Jia Pingwa (*1952). The novel is not easy to classify under any of the literary genres present in China in the 1990s. Its setting in an urban environment and the focus on the upper social class of intellectuals, sets it apart even from the rest of Jia Pingwa's work. In an imaginative way, Feidu creates a picture of Chinese society in the last decade of the 20th century against the backdrop of the fictional metropolis Xijing, drawing attention to the far-reaching problems associated with this period, especially the rapid commercialization and the irreversible decline of Chinese culture. This thesis brings forward an analysis of narrative techniques, subjects and general meaning of the novel, views it within the context of the rest of the author's work and considers the novel's relation to the traditional Chinese narrative fiction, to which Feidu refers in many ways.Předmětem této práce je román Feidu (1993) od současného čínského spisovatele Jia Pingwa (*1952). Román, který není snadné zařadit do některého z literárních proudů přítomných v Číně v 90. letech 20. století, se svým zasazením do městského prostředí a zaměřením na vyšší společenskou vrstvu intelektuálů výrazně odlišuje i od zbytku Jia Pingwaovy tvorby. Feidu nápaditým způsobem na pozadí fiktivní metropole Xijing vytváří obraz čínské společnosti poslední dekády 20. století a upozorňuje na hlubokosáhlé problémy spojené s tímto obdobím, především rychlou komercializaci a nezvratný úpadek kultury. Práce předkládá rozbor narativních postupů, motivů a celkového vyznění románu, nahlíží na román v kontextu ostatní autorovy tvorby a hodnotí jeho vztah k tradiční čínské narativní fikci, na kterou Feidu v mnoha ohledech navazuje.Department of SinologyKatedra sinologieFilozofická fakultaFaculty of Art

It is extremely close to O. fikaceki Short & Jia and O. dinghu Short & Jia. It can be separated from both species by the aedeagus (Fig. 4) with the outer margin of parameres distinctly curved inwards and clearly narrowed apically; the median lobe abruptly narrowed at apical one-fourth; and with the gonopore situated one and half times of its length below it. Description. Size and Form. Total body length= 3.6 –4.0 mm. Oval, strongly convex. Elytra slightly longer than wide. Color. Dorsum black; head, pronotum and often elytra with a subtle green iridescent sheen. Maxillary and labial palps yellow, with apex of maxillary palpomere slightly darkened. Legs, epipleura, lateral margins of prosternum and posterior half of each ventrite yellowish brown, with remainder of venter slightly to moderately darker reddish brown. Head. Ground punctation on labrum, clypeus and frons slightly variable in size from almost undetectable to fine; fairly densely distributed, distance between punctures 0.5–1.5 x the width of one puncture. Systematic row of punctures on the labrum very dense, more or less forming a lateral, shallow median groove, and set with a dense row of long erect yellow setae. Frons with an irregular row of systematic punctures mesad of each eye, bearing a few fine setae. Clypeus with a few nearly undetectable systematic punctures along anterolateral margins, slightly larger than surrounding punctation and usually bearing short setae. Maxillary palps very short, subequal in length as width of labrum; segment 2 slightly bulbous, apical segment slightly longer than penultimate. Labial palps three-fourths as long as width of mentum. Mentum quadrate, anterior margin slightly convex; anterior half portion bearing very fine and scattered punctures, including two small clusters of punctures mediolaterally that bear fine setae; posterior half portion almost glabrous, sometimes with a few nearly undetectable punctures. Thorax. Ground punctation on pronotum and elytra very irregular in size, composed of both extremely fine and moderately coarse punctures, which are generally mixed and evenly distributed. Pronotal systematic punctures present, but blending with larger general punctures, usually not more than 1.5 x the size of general punctation and set with a fine recumbent seta. Lateral margins of pronotum appearing without setiferous punctures. Posterolateral corners of pronotum evenly rounded. Sutural punctation on elytra absent or unmodified from general punctation. Elytra without distinct rows of larger punctures, as they blend uniformly with the largest of the ground punctures; these rows (of systematic punctures) can be detected by the presence of a fine, short seta. Prosternum with median carina along entire length, with a small blunt tooth anteriorly; without long spines or hairs anteriorly. Mesosternal process with lateral extensions sloping evenly downward; apex set with a few long fine setae. Metasternum with small oval glabrous area posteromedially, slightly longer than wide, length of glabrous area about two-fifths the total length of the metasternum. Pro- and mesocoxae densely pubescent; without spines. Protibiae with 6–7 spines on dorsal face. Protarsal segments 1–4 small, subequal in length, apical segment slightly shorter than segments 1–4 combined. Metafemora without microreticulation. Abdomen. Ventrites 1–4 with two lateral rows of very long, fine setae; longest setae longer than the setae around the metasternal glabrous area. Fifth ventrite entire, with dense, uniform setae over entire surface. Aedeagus (Fig. 4) with outer margin of parameres distinctly curved inwards and clearly narrowed apically, not expanded on inner face apically; median lobe abruptly narrowed at apical one-fourth, appearing bilobed at apex, with gonopore situated one and half times its length below it. Etymology. Named in honor of Dr. Andrew Edward Z. Short, Division of Entomology, Biodiversity Institute and Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, and avid hydrophilid specialist who has collaborated with first author.

Chao Yuen Ren (1892–1982)
No full textY. R. Chao is easily the most famous linguist to have come out of China. Born before the end of the last dynasty in China, he received a traditional Confucian education, but was also one of the first Chinese people to be sent to the West for training in modern Western science (under the Boxer Indemnity Fund). The remarkable breadth and scope of his studies included physics, mathematics, linguistics, musical and literary composition, and translation, and he was a pioneer in many of these fields
