Home Contact Staff Research Links Department News Call for abstracts - Inaugural International Asian Health Conference The School of Asian Studies currently offers BA majors and minors in Chinese Japanese and Korean , while retaining expertise in Indonesian. It also caters to the interests of students from all faculties by offering Asian Studies courses in a variety of subjects as a BA major and minor in Asian Studies that can be undertaken separately or in conjunction with Asian languages. Students undertake the study of Asia for a variety of reasons, and learning another language can be one of the best ways to understand a culture other than one's own. However, the School also offers a whole range of courses at all levels that do not require knowledge of an Asian language, including courses in history, literature, religion, gender studies and philosophy. All these offerings are complemented by active exchange programmes that allow students the opportunity to live and study in Asian countries. The School's interests and expertise are supplemented by a number of other Asia-related institutions. In 1995 the university established the New Zealand Asia Institute to help co-ordinate teaching and research as well as to promote Asia-related outreach in the community. The Institute sponsors seminars and other activities throughout the year. New Zealand's national APEC Study Centre is also established at the university as a research and consultative body. Nationwide, the Asia 2000 Foundation of New Zealand provides a focus for discussion and promotion of interchange with our neighbours to the north. The Foundation continues to provide generous support for the student and other exchanges and for research projects at the University.

Chinese and Japanese Language Contest Top of page Newsletter Contents EALC Home Chinese New Year's Celebration EALC invited the Chinese Student Association to join in sponsoring the annual Chinese New Year's Party on February 1. Great food, student demonstrations, and activities organized by the Chinese Student Association made this event highly successful. Many people attended: American and international students who study Chinese, American and Chinese teachers, Chinese students at CU. After the dinner, American students and Chinese students performed songs, did Chinese Kongfu, and played some interesting games concerning Chinese culture. All of those attending enjoyed the celebration very much. Top of page Newsletter Contents EALC Home Conference on Japanese Women Filmmakers With outstanding support from all of our CU sponsors, including Pablo Kjolseth, director of the International Film Series at CU, the department held a film symposium, spread over five weeks in the fall, and a conference on Japanese Women Filmmakers from October 5-7, 2000. Films shown included Tanaka Kinuyo's Eternal Breast and Girls of the Night , Hidari Sachiko's The Far Road , Kawase Naomi's Moe no Suzaku , and Hamano's In Search of Osaki Midori . Keynote speakers included Kawase Naomi, one of Japan's most important filmmakers, and Professor Keiko McDonald of Pittsburgh University, which held a similar conference in conjunction with ours. A lively group of scholars, students, and filmmakers from Japan, Canada, Austria, Belgium, and the U.S. gathered to hear speakers and discuss papers and films in both English and Japanese, often with simultaneous interpretation. The topics were wide-ranging, and various filmmakers spoke about their work, often in a very personal way. It was a rewarding event for the participants, and there are hopes of holding a similar conference in the future, perhaps on the wider topic of Gender and Film.

73. Ling Essay: Teaching The American Literatures in the field, asian American Authors (1972) brought to light two generations ofAmerican writers from three asian traditions chinese, japanese, and Filipino http://www.georgetown.edu/tamlit/essays/asian_am.html

Essays on Teaching the American Literatures (from the Heath Anthology Newsletter Teaching Asian American Literature by Amy Ling University of Wisconsin-Madison I find it useful to begin my Introduction to Asian American literature classes with a discussion of terminology. First, I deconstruct the term oriental, explaining that as a signifier of someone or something of Asian origin it is no longer viable since it is burdened with all the negative connotations of inferiority, irrationality, and exoticism that Edward Said clearly delineated in his groundbreaking cultural history Orientalism. (NY: 1978) By contrast, the term Asian is a neutral geographical designation and therefore more acceptable. Next, I explore the rather fluid boundaries of the terms Asian, American, and literature. Asia, as the world's largest continent, stretches from what used to be the U.S.S.R, west of the Ural Mountains, as far east as the Bering Strait, and as far south as the Indian Ocean; it is separated from Africa by the Suez Canal, includes all of the Middle East as well as the islands of the South Pacific. However, the boundaries of Asia as employed by scholars of Asian American literature have been much more limited, focused primarily on writers of so-called East Asian origins. [East Asia is only east in relation to Europe, of course; from an American perspective, China, Japan, and Korea are the Near West.] Kai-yu Hsu and Helen Palubinskas, editors of the first anthology in the field

77. Languagehat.com: ASIAN ACRONYMS. done on acronyms in chinese and other asian languages that HighBeautiful BigSchool becomes Kodae lit. chinese characters can be pronounced not just in their http://www.languagehat.com/archives/001089.php

Main January 18, 2004 ASIAN ACRONYMS. In a comment on the previous entry, Joel of Far Outliers mentioned a post he'd done on acronyms in Chinese and other Asian languages that were influenced by Chinese: In Chinese, for instance, acronyms are composed of the initial syllabic characters of (usually) two-syllable words. So, Peking (= Beijing) University, or Beijing Daxue [lit. 'NorthCapital BigSchool'] becomes Beida [lit. 'NorthBig']. In Korean, Korea University, or Koryo Taehak [lit. 'HighBeautiful BigSchool'] becomes Kodae [lit. 'HighBig']. In Japanese, it's a bit more complicated. Chinese characters can be pronounced not just in their Chinese loan forms, but as native Japanese words that mean (more or less) the same thing... So the acronym for Hiroshima University, or Hiroshima Daigaku [lit. 'WideIsland BigSchool'] becomes HiroDai [lit. 'WideBig']. The name Hiroshima is native Japanese (the Sino-Japanese pronunciation would be Koutou = Ch. Guangdao), but Daigaku is borrowed [= Ch. Daxue]. He goes on to give examples from Indonesian and Vietnamese (which uses initial letters, like English, rather than combining initial syllables). I would direct the interested reader to my own entry on the phrase gung ho , which has its origin in precisely this form of abbreviation.
