The Book Of Poetry : The Han Canonization : Romeo And Juliet-Like Rendezvous, Zong-Qi Cai Mar 2022

The Book Of Poetry : The Han Canonization : Romeo And Juliet-Like Rendezvous, Zong-Qi Cai

How to Read Chinese Poetry Podcast

This episode features a poem that enacts, through incremental repetition, the unfolding drama of a young woman being torn by longing, hesitancy, love, and fear while a suitor is crushing all physical barriers to have a tryst with her. To sanitize this poem, Han commentators resorted to an allegorizing strategy called “cutting off a section to create a new meaning,” constructing a political allegory on the thinnest of evidence.


The Book Of Poetry : The Han Canonization : A Love Song And A Moral Exemplum, Zong-Qi Cai Mar 2022

The Book Of Poetry : The Han Canonization : A Love Song And A Moral Exemplum, Zong-Qi Cai

How to Read Chinese Poetry Podcast

This episode discusses how the anonymous author of “Prefaces to the Book of Poetry” turned “Osprey,” the first of the 305 Shijing poems, from a lively love song into a moral exempla by means of gender switching. It also explains that such imaginative gender switching was made possible by classical Chinese grammar, especially its ungendered use of pronouns and its frequent omission of sentence subjects.


Orientalism Restated In The Era Of Covid-19, Joey Kim Mar 2022

Orientalism Restated In The Era Of Covid-19, Joey Kim

Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies

This essay bridges a gap between an analysis of anti-Asian targeting and an analysis of Orientalism. Because histories of Orientalism and anti-Asian targeting pre-date the current moment, I demonstrate the centrality of Orientalism to the evolution of xenophobic language and sentiment in U.S.-foreign historical relations. I recount instances of anti-Asian, xenophobic, and “Yellow-Peril” rhetoric in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic. In doing so, I examine the racialization of COVID-19 as a trope of orientalism. This racialization, I argue, places the Asian-presenting body in a state of heightened visibility, precarity, and susceptibility to plunder. The newfound precarity of the …


The Book Of Poetry And Diplomacy : What Does It Mean To Say, “I Love You”?, Wai-Yee Li Mar 2022

The Book Of Poetry And Diplomacy : What Does It Mean To Say, “I Love You”?, Wai-Yee Li

How to Read Chinese Poetry Podcast

This episode discusses how the language of love and kinship is used in diplomatic negotiations through the recitation of odes. For example, aLu minister uses a wedding song to compare smaller states to a bride welcomed by her groom (the powerful Jin). A woman picking artemisia with care becomes the analogue for a powerful state cherishing a weak one. A Zheng minister uses an ode about seduction to forestall or resist aggression. A Jin leader affirms an alliance through an ode celebrating brotherhood.

The Book Of Poetry And Diplomacy : Who Is The Barbarian?, Wai-Yee Li

How to Read Chinese Poetry Podcast

This episode discusses how a “barbarian” chief gains diplomatic advantages by reciting an ode now included in Shijing. The recitation both asserts and effaces differences between “Chinese” and “barbarian” states. It seeks to redefine the past and argues for equality and amity between Jin and the Rong.

The Book Of Poetry : Zhou Dynastic Building, William H. Nienhauser

How to Read Chinese Poetry Podcast

“Woven” like many of the Da ya (Greater Odes) sings of two of the heroes who laid the groundwork for their grandson and son to overcome the Shang and establish the Zhou dynasty. The text lends itself to memorization and may have been part of early court ritual as our own Star-Spangled Banner celebrates an event in the early history of our country.
