Preserving Cultural Identity Through Education
Author: Xing Zhang
Publisher: Institute of Southeast Asian Studies
ISBN: 9814279870
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
Immigrants from China started settling in Calcutta, the British capital of colonial India, from the late eighteenth century. Initially, the immigrant community comprised of male workers, many of whom sojourned between China and India. Only in the early twentieth century was there a large influx of women and children from China. To address the educational needs of the children - both immigrant and locally-born - several Chinese-medium primary and middle schools were established in Calcutta by the community in the 1920s and 1930s. Using many hitherto unexplored textual sources and interviews in India, China, and Canada, this detailed and unprecedented study examines the history and significance of these Chinese-medium schools. It focuses on the role they played in preserving Chinese cultural identity not only through the use of educational curricula and textbooks imported from China, but also with the emphasis on the need to return to the ancestral homeland for higher education. This study also breaks new ground by examining the impact of political and other factionalism within the community as well as the India-China conflict of 1962 that resulted in the closure of most of the Chinese-medium schools in Calcutta by the 1980s.

Globalization Nationalism Music Educathb

Pages :
Book Description
First, this book will synthesise the methods of the sociology and cultural studies of music education for a variety of readers, including music scholars, educators, and even arts policymakers. At present, there are no books about the development of school music education in response to the double paradigm of nationalism and globalisation (or multiculturalism), so this book will provide a fascinating basis for comparative studies of these three Chinese societies. It will also provide key papers that will enable students to have a single point of reference for their music education, cultural studies, liberal arts education, and even other humanities courses. Second, the book will be a core text on culture and education, as well as music education programmes, for both undergraduates and postgraduates in both local and international markets. In particular, it will present readers with background material to understand more about cultural politics and the characteristics of music education with the analyses of official documents and data from teachers collected from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, as well as advance social and political perspectives that will contribute to informed discussions about the key education issues facing educators in the three territories. Third, other educators and academics who are interested in Chinese cultural studies and/or Chinese education will come to understand the changing role of music education in the global era and be able to see how the relationship between school music education and the process of state formation has evolved.

English in China
Author: Emily Tsz Yan Fong
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000370879
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
This volume explores Chinese identity through the lens of both the Chinese and English languages. Until the twentieth century, English was a language associated with capitalists and "military aggressors" in China. However, the massive progression of globalisation in China following the 1980s has transformed the language into an important tool for China’s modernisation. Regardless of the role English plays in China, there has always been a fear there that the spread of culture(s) associated with English would lead to weakening of the Chinese identity. This fear resulted in the development of the ti-yong principle: "Chinese learning for essence (ti), Western learning for utility (yong)." Fong’s book aims to enhance understanding of the ti-yong dichotomy in relation to people’s sense of being Chinese in China, the penetration of English into non-English speaking societies, the resultant tensions in people’s sense of personal and national identity, and their place in the world. Using Q methodology, the book presents observations based on data collected from four participant groups, namely high school and university students, teachers and parents in China, to investigate their perspectives on the status and roles of English, as well as those of Chinese. Considering the growing international interest in China, this volume will appeal to readers interested in China’s contemporary society in general, its language, culture and identity. It will be a useful resource for academics, researchers and students in the field of applied linguistics, language education and Chinese cultural studies and can also be adopted as a reference book for undergraduate courses relating to language, identity and culture.

Towards a New Development Paradigm in Twenty-First Century China
Author: Eric Florence
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136213597
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This book argues that the current state of China requires an important paradigm shift in the way the party-state manages the country’s development, and goes on to assess the fitness of the party-state for implementing such a paradigm shift and the likelihood of the party-state bringing this about. It brings together an examination of the very latest situation in a range of key areas where current developments have the potential to undermine substantially the status quo, areas such as the recent economic crisis and the resulting economic slowdown, increasing labour unrest, mounting calls for social justice, worsening urban-rural disparity, the urgent need to implement social welfare programmes, the rise of civil society, and the impact of new media. Overall, the book provides a thorough appraisal of the difficulties which China currently faces.
