Qing dramas such as Yongzheng Dynasty (1999), Kangxi Dynasty (2001), and Qianlong Dynasty (2003) have featured the emperors and patriots who served the nation in the face of internal corruption and social injustice as well as external threats, feeding the public's fantasy for a time of heroic figures and events.

Today, as during in its pre-war heyday, the metropolis is not only China's leading commercial, financial and industrial center but China's most stylish city, and trend-setter in fashion, art and ideas. In short, Shanghai has re-embraced its capitalistic identity with a vengeance. The Whangpu metropolis, know by such epithets as ""The Paris of the East"" and ""The Whore of Asia"" earlier in the twentieth century, has come full circle. What does Shanghai of yesterday have to tell us about Shanghai of today? Stella Dong, author of ""Shanghai: The Rise and Fall of a Decadent City,"" (HarperCollins Publishers) will present an overview of this unique metropolis starting with its modern beginnings in 1842 as a treat port and funnel for the British opium trade in China and ending with the Communist triumph in 1949. http://www.aaari.info/dance2005.htm Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:46:42 GMT Sonali Mishra 00:57:05 no asian, cultural, odissi, dance, east, india, sonali mishra, performance AAARI Co-Sponsored Event Odissi traces its origins to the ritual dances performed in the temples of ancient northern India. Today the name Odissi refers to the dance style of the state of Orissa in eastern India. Like other classical arts of India, this ancient dance style had suffered a decline as temples and artists lost the patronage of feudal rulers and princely states, and by the 1930s and 40s, there were very few surviving practitioners of the art. The current form of Odissi is the product of a 20th century revival. Dedicated scholars and dance enthusiasts carefully researched manuscripts and studied the sculpture, painting and poetry of the region. They also met and observed the performances of the few existing performers, in order torevive and restructure Odissi as a unique classical dance style adapted to the requirements of formal stage presentation. Over the years Odissi has become one of the most popular classical dance styles. Like other Indian classical dance forms, Odissi has two major facets: Nritta or non-representational dance, in which ornamental patterns are created using body movements in space and time; and Nritya, or stylized mime in which symbolic hand gestures and facial expressions are used to interpret a story or theme.The technique of Odissi includes repeated use of the tribhangi, or thrice-deflected posture, in which the body is bent in three places, approximating an "s" shape. This posture and the characteristic shifting of the torso from side to side, make Odissi a difficult style to execute. When mastered, it is the epitome of fluid grace and has a distinctively lyrical quality that is very appealing. http://www.aaari.info/05-03-09%20Suh.htm Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:46:42 GMT Sung Ha Shu 00:38:40 no asian, tsunami, sung ha shu, traumatic, grief reactions, aftermath, natural disaster AAARI Co-Sponsored Event This workshop will discuss the psychological effects of traumatic stress in a disaster situation.

The impact on recipient countries is rarely examined in the debate on offshore outsourcing. This paper attempts to close this gap by examining some key economic and technological issues pertaining to offshore outsourcing in the service industry in India, particularly the information technology (IT) sector, and IT-enabled services (ITES) sector, including business process outsourcing (BPO). Specifically, the paper examines the impact of offshore outsourcing on (a) employment in India, and (b) technology diffusion/innovation gap in India. http://www.aaari.info/mp3/07-11-16Chan.mp3 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:46:42 GMT Hanson Chan 00:56:01 no asian, buddhism, peace, mind Friday Evening Lecture Series Hanson Chan will discuss his experience as a screenplay writer, including during the 1990's in Hong Kong while working on screenplays such as "Swordsman II: Legend of the Invincible", and "Once Upon a Time in China", the Wong Fei Hung Series 1, 2, 3, and 4.
