Abortion has become a common practice in modern China since the implementation of birth limitation policy in the 1950s. In recent decades, the growing prevalence of abortion among young unmarried migrant workers has aroused public concern. Socially, abortion among this group of young women is often seen as a reproductive health problem or anomalous phenomenon that needs to be managed and handled; at the individual level, abortion is singled out as a behavioural misconduct of young women, which signifies their moral failure. However, these indiscreet and injudicious perceptions fail to acknowledge the complexity and structural dynamics behind their choices.While past studies have examined abortion through perspectives including law, morality, policy and reproductive health, or analyzed its impact on macro politics and institutions at a societal level, few of them have looked into the authentic experiences of these women and examined the whole issue from the perspective of interpersonal and gender dynamics. To fill the gap of knowledge, the present study aims at comprehending this distinctive life event of women and reflecting women's agency. Through conducting intensive ethnographic observation and in-depth interviews with 20 unmarried female migrant workers aged from 17 to 28 years old with diverse background, the underlining forces behind the occurrence of abortion are revealed, such as the influence of state family planning policy, the complex changes of lifestyle under market reform,and the heavy influence of partners and families on the decisions concerning marriage and childbirth. This study also traces the process within which abortion decisions are made, from sexual contacts, contraceptive uses, abortion decision-making,to the negotiation between partners, depicting women's responses to structural constraints and how their choices are made under the influence of migration. ...

粤劇亦被譽為「南國紅豆」已有三百多年歷史是中國傳統戲曲之一。粤劇流傳於南中國,香港,以及海外華人的社會,其中以廣州佛山一帶最為著名。然而在近年外來文化的影響下,粤劇逐漸被忽視。自二零零九年起,粤劇正式被列為聯合國教科文組織人類非物質文化遺產。隨著國家政府對粤劇的重視,地方傳統曲藝在廣州的發展亦產生了變化。本論文以廣州粤劇的音樂社區為中心,著眼於樂師,把樂師分為業餘者,職業樂師及國家級演奏員三類。本論文亦論述粤劇樂師在粤劇國家化的過程中所面對的改變及所扮演的角色,並探討粤劇由一種地方性的民間傳統藝術演變為一項代表國家的非物質文化遺產對當地音樂社區造成的衝擊。 ; Since Cantonese Opera was declared an intangible cultural heritage representation by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2009, the Chinese government has carried out different policies to "develop Cantonese Opera. This study looks at the recent "development" of Cantonese Opera in Guangzhou from the perspective of musicians. In Guangzhou, different forms of performing groups are present, from privately organized interest groups to state-managed national troupes.

田漢(1898-1968)是中國現代文學的重要劇作家之一。他亦以電影劇本作家、戲曲作家、詩人、小說家、散文家、翻譯家、歌詞作家、文學評論家和社會活動家知名於世。田漢雖在文學史上有著舉足輕重的地位,其研究卻長期受到政治因素制約。新時期以來,田漢研究轉趨活躍,但論者多從比較文學的角度分析其作品。本論文希望從田漢在日本大正時期留學的經歷,考察其早期藝術生命之形成。 ; 大正時期,日本在經濟、文化、社會價值觀各方面都有著激烈變動,「兩性解放」為其時代精神,「新女性」的話題非常盛行。論者雖然大多留意到女性角色和婚戀議題在田漢早期作品的重要,但甚少提及田漢留日時期的經歷與其作品的關係。田漢是中國留日學生,早在日本時期即已開展話劇創作。除對外國文學的接受外,田漢實際上亦受到日本化的西方思想、運動和生活方式,例如女性解放理論、劇場運動和咖啡店文化所影響,而這些影響更以不同方式滲透到其早期作品中。本論文旨在闡述這些因素在田漢早期創作生命中所起的作用,尤其是他對女性和婚戀議題的思考和取態。本論文的研究範圍涵括田漢在二十世紀二十年代的整個創作歷程。 ; 本論文共分五章,內容如下:第一章為導論,簡介田漢研究的情況、本論文的研究範圍、目的和方法。第二章至第四章討論大正時期不同的社會文化因素與田漢早期作品的關係。第二章考察田漢早期作品對日本大正時期女性解放理論的接受和轉化,以及田漢對當時社會戀愛事件的評價。第三章闡述藝術座的新劇運動,以及其創立人島村抱月和松井須磨子的戀愛事跡對田漢早期創作生命的影響。第四章從大正時代的咖啡店文化出發,分析田漢一系列不同文類、以咖啡店女侍為主角的早期作品。第五章為總結。 ; Tian Han (1898-1968) is one of the most prominent dramatists of modern Chinese literature. He is also renowned as a film scriptwriter, xiqu (traditional Chinese drama) writer, poet, novelist, proser, translator, lyricist, literary critic and social activist. Nevertheless, the study of Tian had long been at a standstill due to political reasons. Since the 1980s, most of the researches have been conducted from the approach of comparative literature. This thesis, however, traces the development of Tian's literary life by examining his experiences in Japan during the Taisho Period. ; During the Taisho Period, Japan experienced tremendous changes in economy, culture and social values, with "sex liberation considered as the zeitgeist and "new women as a popular issue. Many scholars have discussed the significance of female characters and the theme of "love and marriage in Tian's early works, but they seldom mentioned the influences by Tian's experiences in Japan. Tian, as a returned Chinese student, had started his playwright career in Japan. Apart from the reception of western literature, Tian was also influenced by the "Japanized western thoughts, movements and lifestyle, such as feminist theories, theatre movements and café culture, which had penetrated his early works in different ways. With the focus on Tian's literary works ...
