The Phantom Heroine: Ghosts and Gender in Seventeenth-Century Chinese Literature
The "phantom heroine"—in particular the fantasy of her resurrection through sex with a living man—is one of the most striking features of traditional Chinese literature. Even today the hypersexual female ghost continues to be a source of fascination in East Asian media, much like the sexually predatory vampire in American and European movies, TV, and novels. But while vampires can be of either gender, erotic Chinese ghosts are almost exclusively …
Between Performance, Manuscript, And Print: Imagining The Musical Text In Seventeenth-Century Plays And Songbooks
This chapter proposes a modified combination of van Orden's and Boorman's definitions: A musical song text is that form of musical information which is written or printed and which proclaims itself to be intended for realization in performance or as an aid to performance in some fashion, often including some form of notation or traces of notation, in addition to tune title and song lyrics. It mainly focuses on three seventeenth-century chuanqi pl…
The Cultural Biography of a Musical Instrument: Little Hulei as Sounding Object, Antique, Prop, and Relic
Judith Zeitlin traces the history of a rare musical instrument to consider how the meanings of a thing change over time and are shaped by its representation in various media.

The goal of this volume is to consider the relationship of writing to materiality in China's literary history and to ponder the physical aspects of the production and circulation of writing. To speak of the thing-ness of writing is to understand i…
