Chinese affairs in emergency-era Malaya
This article examines the significance of ‘Chinese affairs’—both a quasi-ethnographic body of knowledge and a branch of colonial government that generated and circulated such knowledge—during the Malayan Emergency (1948–1960). First developed in the pre-war decades through the Chinese Protectorate, Chinese affairs was revived in the late 1940s as the colonial authorities sought to understand the links between rural Chinese communities in Malaya a…
Captain of the Roving Bandits
Captain of the Roving Bandits (Liukou duizhang) was a three-act play first performed in Yan’an in 1938. Written by Wang Zhenzhi, it was designed to remind audiences about the threats posed by “traitors” (hanjian), and the need for resistance fighters to behave in an upright manner in their struggle against Japanese imperialism. The same play was specifically chosen by the Ministry of Publicity under the “collaborationist” regime of Wang Jingwei i…
Sonic Histories of Occupation
This open access book examines how auditory environments in different contexts have contributed to understanding foreign occupation and colonialism, and how they have given rise to historical music cultures. How are sound and music implicated in the control and discipline of people under occupation? Exploring case studies of foreign occupation and colonialism from around the world, Sonic Histories of Occupation seeks to answer these questions and…
Chineseness and the Cold War
Iconographies of Occupation
Iconographies of Occupation is the first book to address how the “collaborationist” Reorganized National Government (RNG) in Japanese-occupied China sought to visualize its leader, Wang Jingwei (1883–1944); the Chinese people; and China itself. It explores the ways in which this administration sought to present itself to the people over which it ruled at different points between 1939, when the RNG was first being formulated, and August 1945, when…
Gendered Archetypes of Wartime Occupation
This article examines the creation and use of gendered archetypes by the Provisional Government of the Republic of China (PGROC), the first collaborationist government established in China following the Japanese invasion of 1937. Drawing on a wide range of visual sources, it traces how this regime's messages about where women ‘belonged’ in an occupied China resulted in the creation of unique and complex archetypes which were deployed to convince …
Cartoons and Collaboration in Wartime China
The work of Chinese cartoonists who published their illustrations in the popular press in occupied China from 1937 to 1945 has largely escaped the attention of scholars of both the occupation itself and the broader field of cartoon history. This article seeks to fill this gap in the literature by analyzing how the very nature of the occupation, together with efforts undertaken by collaborationist governments such as that of Wang Jingwei, created …
Republican Personality Cults in Wartime China
This paper explores the development of the Wang Jingwei personality cult during the Japanese occupation of China (1937-1945). It examines how the collaborationist Chinese state led by Wang sought to distinguish its figurehead from the person he had replaced, Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek. Drawing on visual, archival, and published sources, it traces the development of the Wang cult from the early years of the war, and argues that the unusual…
Chinese film exhibition in Occupied Manila (1942-1945)
This paper explores the nature of film exhibition amongst the Chinese community in Manila during the Japanese Occupation of that city. Based on advertisements and film listings published in the Chinese-language press of the day (as well as on pre-war records concerning commercial Chinese entertainment in the Philippines), it explores the continuities in film exhibition practice undertaken by various theatre operators within the Binondo area of Ma…
“Deep Changes in Interpretive Currents”? Chiang Kai-Shek Studies in the Post-Cold War Era
This essay explores the nature of the changing scholarship on Chiang Kai-shek, reviewing some of the established assessments which dominated writing about Chiang for much of the latter half of the twentieth century, but contrasting these with new assessments which are now emerging in both Chinese- and English-language scholarship. The authors examine the ways in which new access to the Chiang Kai-shek diaries, a changing cross-Strait relationship…
Rethinking Transnational Chinese Cinemas
1. Rethinking Transnationalism 2. Defining Amoy-Dialect Cinema 3. Origins and Development 4. The Shaping of a Cinema 5. The 'New Amoy-Dialect Films' 6. A Cold-War Industry 7. The End of Amoy-Dialect Cinema
Rethinking Transnational Chinese Cinemas
The Amoy-dialect film industry emerged in the 1950s, producing cheap, b-grade films in Hong Kong for direct export to the theatres of Manila Chinatown, southern Taiwan and Singapore. Films made in Amoy dialect - a dialect of Chinese - reflected a particular period in the history of the Chinese diaspora, and have been little studied due to their ambiguous place within the wider realm of Chinese and East Asian film history. This book represents the…
Recycling Personality Cults
This article explores government, party and media reactions in Taiwan to the death of Madame Chiang Kai‐shek in October 2003. In doing so, it sheds light on the ways in which the rituals, iconography and language of personality cults – a major part of political culture in Taiwan during the years of martial law – have become the main points of reference for many groups when responding to contemporary political events. I suggest that such reactions…
