Flying solo
Throughout the world of higher education, universities and colleges are reconceptualizing how their institutions are organized, especially in terms of faculty size related to overall programming. As adjunct rates increase and faculty positions are eliminated, many programs may be reduced to a single faculty lead. Yet, single faculty member programs are not well understood in the literature, nor are their roles in the larger higher education struc…
Re-centring education in Manshūkoku (1931–1945)
This article explores the ambiguous social experience of occupation in north-east China (‘Manshūkoku’, 1931–1945) through an analysis of oral histories of education. These works, collected by Chinese and Japanese scholars and published in the early 2000s, highlight complexities to the occupation experience that the starkly polarised national narratives of war typically neglect. Interviews conducted in the city of Dalian (formerly, Dairen) give pa…
Beijing from Below
Reviewed by: Beijing from Below: Stories of Marginal Lives at the Capital's Center by Harriet Evans Marjorie Dryburgh (bio) Beijing from Below: Stories of Marginal Lives at the Capital's Center Harriet Evans Duke UP, 2020, 288 pp. ISBN 9781478008156, $26.95 paperback. Harriet Evans's Beijing from Below draws on close to a decade of research in Dashalar, a poor neighborhood close to the center of Beijing, and it weaves together extensive life hist…
Life Histories and National Narratives
Recent studies of memory work in China have explored productively the uses of national narratives of war and victimhood, at times supported by personal testimony, in service of a 'public transcript' of Party-state legitimacy. However, oral histories of education in Japanese-occupied north-east China, collected by Chinese researchers and published in 2005, hint at more complex relations between story, storyteller and imagined audience. Without cha…
Living on the edge
This article examines poverty and welfare provision in early twentieth-century Beijing as dialogue and transaction between the city government and the urban poor. Earlier studies of the Chinese urban have tended to emphasize the material aspects of urban development, and the efforts of planners and city governments to modernize China’s cities, rather than the human experience of the city. This article draws on the extensive archives of the Beijin…
North China and Japanese Expansion 1933-1937
This work draws on a wide range of Chinese and Japanese sources to analyse the uncertain loyalties and complex internal pressures that drove Sino-Japanese interaction in prewar north China. It examines the shifting understandings of the North China problem in its practical, political and moral aspects, and challenges existing assumptions concerning Chinese relations with Japan and their impact on domestic politics.
Writing Lives in China, 1600–2010
This innovative collection explores the life stories of Chinese women and men between the seventeenth and twenty-first centuries. It draws on both biographical and autobiographical narratives and on p
Rewriting Collaboration
This essay considers the meanings of Sino-Japanese collaboration before the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-45) through the personal diary of one collaborator, Bai Jianwu (1886-1937). Rather than debate the veracity of the diary narrative, the author considers the diary as a "political performance"-as an assembly of formulaic elements borrowed from contemporary discourse, historical example, and generic conventions that was designed to locate coll…
Japan in Tianjin
This paper will examine the Japanese empire as experience, not as policy, through a study of the Japanese community in Tianjin, north China, before 1937. Recent scholarship on Japanese settlers in East Asia suggests considerable variation within and between communities and Tianjin's location at a key point of Sino-Japanese conflict arguably encouraged a view of China and the Chinese that mirrored the rhetoric of empire. However, settlers valued p…
National city, human city
The reimagining of Beiping – now ‘Beijing’ – reveals the limits of community in early twentieth-century China. Despite the centrality of the crowd to the imagining, construction and management of other Chinese cities, and despite an emerging local advocacy of ‘revitalization’ for Beiping and the Beiping crowd, literary and official understandings of the city that marginalized the mass of Beiping residents remained dominant, highlighting the tensi…
