Machine Learning and the Reproduction of Inequality
Machine learning is the process behind increasingly pervasive and often proprietary tools like ChatGPT, facial recognition, and predictive policing programs. But these artificial intelligence programs are only as good as their training data. When the data smuggle in a host of racial, gender, and other inequalities, biased outputs become the norm
The Chinese Political Novel
Performing Nation
Performing "Nation"
Uniquely covering literary, visual and performative expressions of culture, this volume aims to correlate the conjunctions of nation building, gender and representation in late 19th and early 20th century China and Japan. Focusing on gender formation, the chapters explore the changing constructs of masculinities and femininities in China and Japan from the early modern up to the 1930s. Chapters focus on the dynamism that links the remodeling of t…
Refined Beauty, New Woman, Dynamic Heroine or Fighter for the Nation? Perceptions of China in the Programme Selection for Mei Lanfang's Performances in Japan (1919), the United States (1930) and the S…
One of the seminal cultural transformations in twentieth-century China was the rise of the female impersonator, the dan actor, to national stardom, with Mei Lanfang (1894–1961) as the most famous example (see Figure I). In the short span of 20 years, this figure, once strongly associated with being the 'male flower' and the 'call-boy' of elite men, became the representative and high point of Chinese cultural achievements. The three visits Mei Lan…

Introduction: The Yang Yuelou Case and the Issue of Star Culture On December 23, 1873 (Tongzhi 12) the young Chinese-language newspaper Shenbao reported a court case relating to the Peking opera singer Yang Yuelou, who was engaged at the Dangui theater as lead singer with the title of "specially invited guest" (kechuan).1 Yang had married the daughter of a well-to-do merchant from Xiangshan county in Guangdong during the latter's absence. The mai…
A Public Love Affair or a Nasty Game? The Chinese Tabloid Newspaper and the Rise of the Opera Singer as Star
At the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century an unlikely new figure emerged on the Chinese national stage to take its place as the new star: the Peking Opera singer and in particular the dan or female impersonator, hitherto a member of the lowest social caste and generally discriminated against by law and social custom. These singers’ newly gained national reputation had everything to do with Shanghai and its media industry…

The appropriation of cultural capital
For much of the 20th century, the May Fourth movement of 1919 was seen as the foundational moment of modernity in China. Examinations of literary and cultural modernity in China have, however, led to a questioning of this view. By approaching May Fourth from novel perspectives, the authors of the eight studies in this volume seek to contribute to the ongoing critique of the movement. The essays are centred on the intellectual and cultural/histori…

The Life-Style of Four Wenren in Late Qing Shanghai
A la fin de l'ere des Qing (1840-1911), Shanghai etait la seule ville chinoise ou l'on pouvait passer d'un style de vie traditionnel a un style de vie moderne. Durant cette periode de transition, se developpe dans l'enclave de Shangai, un modele sinise de modernisation/ocidentalisation, ou les normes sociales traditionnelles ont une importance institutionnelle minime. La ville constitue donc le lieu ideal pour les wenren (intellectuels), fascines…
