Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2003.
This dissertation examines the performance of “Chineseness”—what is means to be Chinese—across transnational space through the global circulation of culture. I am interested in the ways in which the idea of Chineseness is both highly contested in different local contexts and, paradoxically, fiercely maintained as a collective consciousness across national borders. Not definable by national boundaries, biological essences, or even shared cultural norms, Chineseness is a mobile yet abiding idea. Using choreography—literally, the writing of movement—I mark the way “being Chinese” acquires shifting layers of meaning in its movement across and through four global cities: Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, and New York. My texts are both actual performance—for example, a dance company in Taipei—and the kinesthetic performativity of practices such as political protest in Hong Kong, retail fashion in New York, and urban design in Shanghai. I use dance not only as a subject, but also as a methodology, employing what I call “ethno/choreography”: a coming into knowledge of culture through the lived experience of the body in motion through space. The question driving this project is: what are the emergent forms of community, or even subjectivity, made possible through an increasingly transnational imaginary
