Kunqu at a Crossroads
Authors: Lam Joseph S. C.
Published: September 2023

This chapter presents kunqu at a crossroads with three reports on the genre’s latest and prominent shows and activities. The first surveys contemporary kunqu practitioners’ efforts to sustain the genre as a classical opera by staging historical works, such as Gao Ming’s (b.1305) TheLute (Pipa ji), with traditional and/or non-traditional performance scripts and practices. The second discusses newly composed and/or staged kunqu works; analytical focus is however on two influential shows, which are, respectively, Shengkun’s Belladonna and Intoxicated Hearts (Zuixinhua; 2016) and Beikun’s Peony Pavilion (2014-15). Shengkun’s show is a creative adaption of William Shakespeares’ Romeo and Juliet, but itsounds and looks relatively traditional. Beikun’s show is an unprecedented production of the Peony Pavilion by twenty celebrated and retired/semi-retired master performers; its performance practices and styles are both traditional and non-traditional. A case in point is the show’s atypical realization of the “Infernal Judgment” (“Mingpan”) scene—the introductory episode of the scene is given almost half of its total performance time, showcasing actors’ acrobatic talents. The third describes avant garde kunqu shows by Zhang Jun (b. 1974) and Danny Yung (b. 1943), works that deconstruct traditional kunqu performance practices to “revive” the genre’s Ming and Qing aesthetics, or to construct the genre’s unknown future.
Cultural and Theoretical Context
Authors: Silverberg Ann L.
Published: September 2023

The first chapter broadly describes the zheng’s cultural and theoretical context. The zheng is a long bridged zither, one of three structurally similar Chinese musical instruments. The qin and the se, like the zheng, are Chinese zithers with a long past, but their cultural roles were dissimilar. The zheng also belongs to a large family of Asian zithers encompassing the Japanese koto, Korean kayagūm, Mongolian yatga, and Vietnamese đàn tranh. In the twentieth century, the Chinese zheng gained its first written histories, and these provide as much insight into their creators as they do into the zheng’s past. Zheng study, performance, and scholarship are now flourishing. The Hua yue dadian guzheng juan (China music canon guzheng section), an encyclopedic collection of articles about the zheng and notated zheng music, was published in 2016 and remains the most comprehensive scholarly treatment of the zheng to date.
Zheng Art in the People’s Republic of China, 1949–1979
Authors: Silverberg Ann L.
Published: September 2023

In the People’s Republic of China, the arts were bound to uphold the Chinese Communist Party’s ideology. Sorting out which aspects of Chinese culture were valuable and appropriate for the masses while eliminating those that were not was a complex process, as complex as deciding what elements of Western culture could be incorporated successfully. Chinese conservatories offered curricula featuring Western musical instruments and music theory, but complete Westernization of music was not viewed as ideal. Study of Chinese instruments and music was encouraged. The zheng was an adjunct to the Party’s efforts, and a repertory of notated music was created for it, most notably in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The coming of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution put Chinese music and musicians to a severe test, but the zheng’s purported background among the people and its modernized structure and repertory were seen as worthy of support.
Zheng Music in the “Opening Up and Reform” Era
Authors: Silverberg Ann L.
Published: September 2023

In the late 1970s, the People’s Republic of China re-engaged with the West and international trade while altering domestic political and economic strategies. These changes had a telling effect on the zheng and its music. The instrument grew in importance and zheng players were more and more numerous, both in the reopened Chinese conservatories and among the broad public. The zheng’s repertory continued to expand, with new compositions reaching new heights of difficulty. The zheng’s enlarged musical repertory also included traditional works adapted for the zheng, most of them based on music collected in various regions of China. Method books proliferated. Zheng ensembles and new groups of mixed ensembles featuring the zheng were founded, along with mass zheng festivals. A journal devoted to zheng study was established.
Wu Xun, Song Jingshi, and Lin Zexu
Authors: He Qiliang
Published: September 2023

This chapter takes the political campaign against TheLife of Wu Xun (1950) launched by Mao Zedong in 1951 as a point of departure to explore the intertwining relationship between the cinema and new historiography in post-1949 China. While the criticisms of The Life of Wu Xun highlighted the central role of peasant warfare in imperial Chinese history and thereby resulted in the growing popularity of the class view in Chinese historiography, the making of two other films set in the Qing dynasty, Song Jingshi (1955) and Lin Zexu (1959), attested to a tension between two historiographical trends in Mao’s China: the class view and historicism. This chapter argues that the entanglement of historians and non-historians, including filmmakers, allowed for the making of a history-centered public space of communication for both historians and laypersons alike to resort to China’s past to make sense of the present and even attack Mao. Second, such a mode of history-qua-political discussion and polemic paved the way for the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution. In the mid-1960s, the tension between two historiographical trends would finally lead to the purge of historical researchers, filmmakers, writers, and dramatists during the Cultural Revolution.
From Wu Xun to Lu Xun
Authors: He Qiliang
Published: September 2023

This chapter focuses on Zhao Dan’s (1915–1980) career in film after 1949 to investigate a specific type of stardom unique to Mao Zedong’s China. It argues that this new stardom was similar to what conventionally defines stardom, but with an added political dimension: Zhao Dan’s acquisition of high political standing in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). This chapter challenges the paradigm of accommodation and resistance between the tyrannical state and subordinated artists, which presupposes a subjectivity or selfhood on the part of artists that pre-existed and was maintained against the intrusive hegemonic ideologies of the state. Instead, it underscores that the making of Zhao Dan’s subjectivity in the PRC—his subjectivity-in-stardom in this case—was a dynamic process, a “becoming.”
Wu Yonggang
Authors: He Qiliang
Published: September 2023

This chapter turns attention to the ups and downs of Wu Yonggang (1907-1982). Wu, who had earned one of the highest ranks among filmmakers shortly after the Liberation, was singled out as the black sheep during the Anti-Rightist Movement in 1957. The relatively relaxing political climate in the early 1960s permitted Wu to regain his status as a director, if only for opera films. Despite this, Wu’s The Jade Hairpin (1962), a coproduced opera film between a Shanghai-based film studio and a Hong Kong leftwing motion picture company, notched up phenomenal market success in Hong Kong. More importantly, Wu capitalized on this opportunity and took advantage of the unique cinematic Cold War environment to unleash his pent-up resentment and articulate this desire to conciliate with the Party, that is, his victimizer. In other words, while the Chinese Communist Party authorities weaponized opera films to wage a cultural war in the Hong Kong and overseas markets, those movies endowed Wu with an otherwise inaccessible means to express himself and attain a certain degree of artistic autonomy.
A Dildonic Assemblage
Authors: Guo Wangtaolue , Quist Jennifer
Published: September 2023

Chapter 3 investigates the complex presentation of spornosexuality on the Chinese sports variety show Let’s Exercise, Boys. The authors’ textual and paratextual analyses focus on the dynamics between contestants on the show, male bodies in the mediascape, and the making of the spornosexuals under Chinese censorship and in a postsocialist society. They also add to this analytical approach the concept of the “dildonic assemblage,” applying it to the show’s spornosexuality as it is read through the female gaze, and through latent queer/tongzhi erotics. Drawing on select examples, they examine the show’s representations of male masculinity, desire, and queerness through a polysystematic lens. The authors argue that, despite the ambivalent attitudes towards homoeroticism as well as towards the commodification and the ironic queering of male bodies in Chinese media, this sports show subverts and complicates the discourses that would suppress this new spornosexual iteration of Chinese male masculinity.
Addicted to Melancholia
Authors: Dong Aobo
Published: September 2023

Chapter 4 spotlights the transgressive potential of queer Chinese TV under erasure. The author examines the affect and plot in Addicted, an immensely popular BL web series that was abruptly banned by state censors in 2017. Focusing on the affective dynamics between the two lovers in the series, he explores the critical themes of performativity, melancholia, and identification underlying the plot and reception of the series. The author illustrates the role of grief in enabling their same-sex love and argues that overcoming their shared grief and precariousness threatens the heterosexual symbolic in the Chinese and Confucian social orders. The author’sanalysis also shows that Addicted is an attempt to construct a utopian parallel reality in which same-sex love trumps same-sex rivalry, class difference, and compulsory filial piety. Because the narrative of Addicted never attaches a gay identity to the characters, the series frees same-sex love from the constraints of LGBTQ identity politics and disguises it as other forms of same-sex intimacy—making it both ubiquitous and dangerous to the hegemonic gendered matrix in contemporary Chinese society.
Iconographic and special links of Uherské Hradiště tiles from the end of the 15th and the mid-16th century
Authors: Menoušková Dana , Slavíček Karel
Published: September 2023

The presented iconographic-iconological and technological analyses of relief-decorated tiles from Uherské Hradiště set this stove production in a historical context and contribute to a better understanding of the issue of tile creation and production in the late Middle Ages and the early modern age. In the area of interest located on the historical Moravian-Hungarian border, we note anumber of influences from Slovakia and Hungary. In addition to these influences, we can also find analogies in finds from the surrounding area (for example, from Strážnice, Veselí nad Moravou, Uherský Brod, Lukov, Buchlov and Cimburk Castles, etc.), but also in finds from much more distant locations (Prague, Central Bohemia, Moravská Třebová). In addition to the cultural-historical analysis, specimens from Uherské Hradiště and its surroundings are also analysed technologically (x-ray fluorescence and petrography analysis), in order to determine the material composition and thus the possible material compatibility of analogical tiles from different locations. The results of the analysis of tiles from Uherské Hradiště, Uherský Brod and Cimburk Castle are published in the text. The aim is to document regional and supra-regional links, contribute to the localization of production centers of the late 15th to middle 16th centuries and to the identification of mutual contacts during the production process.
The Use of Social Media by Young Georgians in Social and Political Activities to Support Ukraine
Authors: Skiert-Andrzejuk Katarzyna , Skiert Małgorzata
Published: September 2023

The aim of the paper is to diagnose the use of social media (such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) by young Georgians (understood as people aged 18-35) in social and political activities to support Ukraine in the context of the ongoing war. The authors assumed that young Georgians use social media to a large extent to support Ukraine as a kind of socio-political activity, thanks to which the attitudes of young people towards the war itself and Georgia's place in this conflict are visible. To meet the above research objective and verify the initial hypothesis, the following research methods were used: (1) the method of analysing existing data – a review of the literature representing Polish researchers was conducted regarding terminological and conceptual issues related to “social activity” and “political activity”; (2) a statistical method with the technique of analysing secondary statistical data collected by the Caucasian Research Resource Centre; (3) the method of qualitative analysis with the technique of researching new media, namely social media, which is currently an important source of information about young people. The research allowed for a preliminary analysis of the importance of this type of new media in socio-political activity undertaken by young people, especially in expressing their opinions and presenting attitudes. The article does not exhaust the selected subject; it is only a study that made the analysis of the meaning and topicality of this issue possible. Such recognition of the research area also provided the opportunity to find a number of empirical methods that can fill the research gap in the context of studying young Georgians, as well as the role of social media in their social and political life.

Innovative Applications of AI, Machine Learning, and Smart Technologies in Non destructive Testing (NDT)
Authors:   Welspun Tubular, Sharma Kuldeep
Published: September 2023

Several industries use non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to check the properties of parts and structures for flaws and oddities without affecting the part's stability or causing damage to the part being checked. It involves surveillance. Situation of the materials (Material State Awareness (MSA)) and the structural health monitoring (SHM). Using NDT procedures can help eliminate potential losses and risks associated with component failures while reducing both money and time by not sacrificing its reliability and upcoming utilization. On the other hand, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are practical instruments that can aid in automated data collection and analysis, offering fresh insights and perhaps enhancing detection efficiency at a high cost quickly and easily. The present research provides an overview of modern AI-ML NDT algorithms and their applications of associated with smart technologies, such as digital twins and machine vision (MV).

Yield is the complex trait that depends on various attributes. Therefore, the knowledge about the relationship of different attributes to yield is crucial for making efficient selection strategy. The grain yield per plant exhibited highly significant and positive association with biological yield per plant followed by panicle bearing tillers per plant, spikelets per panicle, grains per panicle, chlorophyll content in F1 s at both genotypic and phenotypic level. Highest positive direct effect on grain yield per plant was exerted by biological yield per plant and harvest-index in F1 s at both genotypic and phenotypic level. Therefore, biological yield per plant and harvest index should be utilized in making selection strategy for yield improvement in rice.

Metode Komunikasi Islam Penyuluh Agama dalam Meningkatkan Ibadah Masyarakat Kecamatan Simpang Empat Kabupaten Asahan
Authors: Sambas Nayla Aidilla
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this research is to find out how Islamic communication methods for religious instructors increase the worship of the people of Simpang Empat District, Asahan Regency and to find out what the supporting and inhibiting factors are for religious instructors in increasing the worship of the people of Simpang Empat District, Asahan Regency. This research was conducted at the Religious Affairs Office Jl. Pioneer of Simpang Empang, Simpang Empat District, Asahan Regency. This research uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach, namely research that attempts to collect data, process, analyze and interpret qualitatively and describe or illustrate a number of variables relating to the problem and unit being studied. The informants for this research consisted of 1 person from the head of the KUA, Simpang Empat District, Asahan Regency, 4 people from religious instructors in Simpang Empat District, Asahan Regency and 2 people from the community of Simpang Empat District. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this research are that the condition of community worship is quite good, but some are poor, due to economic factors and not having free time to carry out worship. Apart from that, this increase in worship shows that the Islamic communication method used by religious instructors to increase community worship is using tabligh and bayan methods. This is proven by the increase in worship activities of the Simpang Empat sub-district community in carrying out the five daily prayers, reading the Al-Qur'an, and attend the local taklim assembly. These two methods are the pillars of success in increasing public worship.
Moderating Role of Personality Traits Between Tax Audit, Tax Rate, Tax Penalty and Sales Tax Compliance in Pakistan
Authors: Noor ul Sehar  , Muhammad Ishfaq*  , Affaf Asghar Butt  , Aamer Shahzad
Published: September 2023

The landscape of Finance in the modern day has become dynamic- with the introduction of behavioural finance, and the possibilities are endless. The study aims to demonstrate the impact of tax audits, tax rates, and tax penalties on sales tax compliance in light of personality traits. To this stage, the effect of personality traits and behavioural trends on sales tax compliance has not been explored thoroughly in Pakistan. In this study, 340 questionnaires were distributed through convenience sampling to the owners-managers of manufacturing and service sector representatives of SMEs operational in Faisalabad, Pakistan. After this, the data collected through the questionnaire were categorically analyzed using SPSS to validate the measurement model and structure. The findings demonstrated the direct positive relationship between tax audit, tax rates, tax penalty, and sales tax compliance. Further, the personality trends of neuroticism reflect a significant impact as a moderator towards tax-compliant behaviour. Policymakers may deploy these findings to enhance sales tax collection by making individualized systems catering to specific behaviours and personality traits to ensure maximum tax compliance. Tax administration authorities should deploy strict policies to deal with the non-compliant behaviour of taxpayers. It will help enhance the tax-to-GDP ratio of Pakistan and will generate more funds for public expenditures.
The Religious Right and Anti-Genderism in Colombia
Authors: Corredor Elizabeth S.
Published: September 2023

Anti-genderism has taken hold in Latin America as in other parts of the world but presents a more unique arrangement of religious right activity compared its European counterparts due to the entrance of conservative evangelicals. To better understand this phenomenon, this chapter examines two anti-gender campaigns in Colombia, whereby Catholic and evangelical leaders led back-to-back oppositional movements against a national anti-bullying program for LGBTQI youth and the inclusion of women’s and LGBTQI rights in the country’s 2016 peace process. Operating at both the grassroots level and in the realm of party politics, these right-against-rights mobilisations, while short-lived, had substantial impact on major national policy in their defaming of so-called gender ideology. The Colombian case highlights how the evolving nature of right-wing movements and the changing religio-political landscape in Latin America has significant implications for gender and LGBTQI rights in the region.
The Transnational Force of Anti-LGBT+ Politics in Latin America
Authors: Ritholtz Samuel , Mesquita Miguel
Published: September 2023

In the wake of recent advancements of LGBTQI rights, one of the world’s most coordinated transnational counter-rights backlash movements against feminist and queer-inclusive state practices has occurred in Latin America. Originally organized around local issues and funded by religious groups, the movement has received political support throughout the region and now operates at the international level. It has brought together a remarkably diverse range of actors—many for the first time under the same umbrella. This chapter explores the process through which anti-right groups have mobilized against queer and gender-inclusive state practices. It looks at the genesis of this movement and considers key inflection points in its history. In exploring this history, it seeks to explain an interesting puzzle: Why has this movement produced such extreme action in response to seemingly benign efforts, such as national anti-bullying and ‘homotolerant’ education campaigns in Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, and Peru? Building off literatures of political homophobia and anti-rights movements, the chapter argue that queer-inclusive efforts by the government produce unique framing opportunities for anti-rights groups to mobilize a diverse coalition within Latin American societies to advance broader uncivil political goals.
Resisting Redistribution with Recognition: A Radical Neoliberal Countermovement in Santa Cruz, Bolivia
Authors: Krausova Anna
Published: September 2023

This chapter studies the framing strategies of a radical neoliberal countermovement in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, between 2007 and 2020. To elucidate the strategies and relative successes of this countermovement, the chapter presents a mixed-method study, combining a narrative analysis of interviews with leaders with quantitative text analysis of the online frames of the countermovement’s leading organisation, the Santa Cruz Civic Committee. In opposition to the left-wing multicultural reforms of the Morales administration between 2007 and 2020, this countermovement publicly supported a certain multiculturalism, but while recognition of cultural diversity was presented as legitimate, claims for material redistribution were not, amounting to resisting redistribution with recognition. How has this countermovement maintained its mobilizing capacity and political influences? In combining a frame that drew on broadly accepted historical constructions of cruceño identity with a politically opportune frame about authentic indigeneity, the movement’s framing enjoyed broad popular resonance regionally, and gained recognition internationally.
Transversal Acts of Citizenship
Authors: Emre Kumru Berfin
Published: September 2023

Chapter 4 examines Alevi ‘demands for fair representation’ which emerges in the broader field of cultural production including literature, films and television programmes. While each of these forms of cultural production consistently reproduces offensive representations of Alevism, Alevis also intervene in this field through protests and demands for a ‘fair representation’ of Alevis(m). Community media emerges against this historical and cultural backdrop and enables transversal citizenship. In this chapter I distinguish between two main forms of acts in and through media in the making of transversal citizenship. While citizenship acts in media are mainly accomplished by the media workers who provide information on Alevi history, rituals and the diversity of the community, transversal citizenship through media also results in the involvement of the viewers in protests and campaigns facilitated by the community media.
Metrical Resolution in Early Middle English
Authors: Goering Nelson
Published: September 2023

This chapter examines two Middle English poems of about the year 1200 for evidence of metrical resolution. A sampling of the long alliterative poem Brut by Laȝamon suggests that line-final words such as stude ‘place’, which have two light syllables, behave metrically like monosyllables (e.g. lond ‘land’), and unlike heavy disyllables such as stondeð ‘stands’. Potential evidence for resolution in the rhyming Moral Ode has been debated and doubted, but this chapter shows that a close reexamination of the evidence strongly supports the conclusion that this poem, too, made use of poetic resolution. The widespread use of poetic resolution in early Middle English aligns well with the evidence of ie-reduction in pointing to the continued use of the bimoraic trochee in the phonology of at least some dialects during this period.
Later Middle English Prosody
Authors: Goering Nelson
Published: September 2023

This chapter examines the prosodic effects of changes in vowel quantity in Middle English, focusing especially on open-syllable lengthening. It is argued that this really is a process of lengthening in open syllables, and not, as a popular alternative hypothesis proposes, a compensatory lengthening for loss of schwa. In a broader historical context, open-syllable lengthening had the potential to disrupt the bimoraic trochee as the prosodic basis for English foot structure, but this did not take place in all dialects. Instead, perhaps partly due to French influence on the lexicon, competing processes such as trisyllabic shortening served to retain the bimoraic trochee.
Resolution in Fornyrðislag
Authors: Goering Nelson
Published: September 2023

The Norse metre fornyrðislag shows resolution in some contexts, but this also often fails to apply. In contrast to Beowulf, there is no syllable-weight conditioning like Kaluza’s law. The common proposal that resolution can fail in verse-final position is rejected. Instead, non-resolution takes place under two conditions: immediately after a syllable bearing some degree of stress, or in a word such as konungum ‘kings (dative plural)’ with a heavy medial syllable. This can be explained as a further development of the system found in Beowulf, with more stringent limitations on both resolved feet and overheavy feet (with three or more moras).
Tek Parti Sistemlerine Yönelik İncelemeler ve Kemalist Tek Parti Rejimine İlişkin Akademik Perspektifler
Authors: Karaaslan Şanlı Halise
Published: September 2023

Türkiye’de 1923-1946 yılları arasında egemen olan tek-parti dönemine ilişkin çok sayıda ve çeşitlilikte akademik perspektif geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen akademik perspektifler, Kemalist tek-parti döneminin niteliklerini, uygulama ve yöntemlerini açıklamaya ya da yorumlamaya çalışan değerlendirmelerden oluşmaktadır. Bu değerlendirmeler, Kemalist tek-parti döneminin demokratik oluşundan, otoriter hatta totaliter bir karakter taşıdığına değin farklılıklar gösterir. Bu farklılıkların ve açıklamaların bir araya getirilerek irdelenmesinin bir yolu siyasal partiler kuramının özellikle tek-partilere ilişkin yanları üzerinde durmaktır. Bu bölümde, öncelikle genel olarak siyasal partiler sosyolojisinin tek-parti sistemleri üzerine açıklamalarına kısaca değinilecek ve sonrada Türkiye’deki tek-parti rejimini değerlendiren görüşler sunulmaya çalışılacaktır. Türkiye’deki tek parti sistemi üzerine akademik perspektiflerin ortak ve farklı yönlerini ortaya koymayı amaçlayan bölümde, döneme ilişkin tarihsel bir anlatıya mümkün olduğunca girilmemeye çalışılacak, konu tek parti dönemine ilişkin özellikle 1950 yani tek-parti sonrası açığa çıkan akademik perspektiflerin özetlenmesiyle sınırlı tutulacaktır.

Verso il dramaturg: rilevarsi nell’officina di Simona Gonella
Authors: Malinarić Jovana
Published: September 2023

L’articolo tratta il divenire della figura polivalente e sofisticata del dramaturg all’interno della prassi teatrale italiana. In particolare, prendendo in esame l’esempio di Simona Gonella, cerca di delineare i tratti peculiari del suo mestiere interrogandosi sui modi in cui il suo lavora influenza la creazione artistica. Attraverso l’analisi dei due ultimi lavori, Book is a Book is a Book e Macbeth, le cose nascoste, si evince quello che potrebbe essere definito come “lo sguardo del dramaturg” quale connettore delle diverse parti del lavoro del gruppo. Il lavoro è stato fatto in collaborazione con Simona Gonella, che ha concesso all’autrice dell’articolo l’intervista e i materiali utilizzati.

The article deals with the becoming of the polyvalent and sophisticated figure of the dramaturg within Italian theatre practice. In particular, by examining the example of Simona Gonella, it attempts to outline the peculiar traits of her craft by questioning the ways in which her workinfluences artistic creation. Through the analysis of her two most recent works, Book is a Book is a Book and Macbeth, le cose nascoste, we gain insight into what could be defined as 'the dramaturg's gaze' as a connector of the different parts of the group's work. The work was done in collaboration with Simona Gonella, who granted the author of the article the interview and the materials used.
In nome del corpo: Mauro Covacich e James Joyce a confronto
Authors: Di Bella Caterina
Published: September 2023

This paper focuses on the comparison between some common human and artistic traits of two authors, Mauro Covacich and James Joyce, who, despite working in different historical times and ways, shared the same urban spaces and similar life paths. The aim is to demonstrate how body dimension is central to the personal and literary experience of both writers. The occasion for these reflections was a lecture-monologue held by Covacich, which took place in 2022 in Trieste. It was an event organized at the Bloomsday festival where he presented Joyce’s work, in particular Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, using different keywords like ear, tongue, eye, arm, inner ear and genitals, ending with the mind. There are several autobiographical notes that Covacich refers to in his comparison with the Irish writer, revealing an affinity that takes different forms. On the basis of these considerations, it seems reasonable to invite Covacich’s readers to use the same interpretative criteria proposed by the author for Joyce’s work in order to render their compelling copo a corpo.
