SUMMARY:Embodied Virtue: How Was Loyalty Edited and Performed in Late Imper
 ial China?
DESCRIPTION:\n	\n		Chiung-yun Evelyn Liu (Associate Research Fellow\, Inst
 itute of Chinese Literature and Philosophy\, Academia Sinica\; HYI Visitin
 g Scholar)\n	\n		Chair/discussant: Wai-yee Li (Professor of Chinese Lite
 rature\, Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard Un
 iversity)\n\n\n	 \n\n	Co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Stu
 dies\n\n\n	This talk investigates how the idea of loyalty is embodied in t
 he actions of historical figures and dramatic characters\, and the affecti
 ve power generated through these embodiments. Particularly\, how was this 
 ethical virtue taught and disseminated during the late imperial period\, w
 hen it eventually became a prominent subject of discourse and cultural cod
 e? By examining the narratives and illustrations of the exemplary figures 
 in Stories of Rulers and the Subjects (Junchen gushi 君臣故事)  and S
 tories of the Past to be Recorded and Remembered Daily (Riji gushi 日記
 故事)\, two popular compendia (tongsu leishu 通俗類書) first publish
 ed in the Yuan dynasty then continually edited and reprinted throughout th
 e Ming dynasty\, this talk explores how the earlier discourse on loyalty w
 as popularized and simultaneously reformulated through the publication of 
 storybooks. The story compendia further interacted with stage performances
 . The textual\, visual and theatrical media together shaped the field of m
 oral imagination and cultural practice\, addressing and negotiating the co
 nflicts between ideal and reality\, the state and the individual\, reconci
 liation and violence\, human agency and its constraints.
