“…The lyrics in the tembang macapat has been given inserts of words to sentences derived from the Quran and hadiths. As happened in Southeast Guizhou, China, they made Kam Big Song as an attempt to spread historical, philosophical and other knowledge (Ingram, 2011). This can be based on the fact that traditional songs can provide new knowledge, including in the spread of a religion.…”

“…This reversal has been achieved, I suggest, through a process described by Helen Rees (2012, 2016) as the conceptual linking of yuanshengtai to China’s nascent environmental movement, which could only have arisen in the context of massive social transformations in post-1990s China. The emphasis on nature in China today also coincides with the global movement to preserve intangible cultural heritage, acknowledging the role of local knowledge systems in maintaining biodiversity and sustainability, which first emerged in the early 2000s (Howard, 2012; Ingram, 2011: 452; McLaren et al, 2013: 42–45).…”

This article analyzes the contemporary salience of yuanshengtai, a Chinese concept that valorizes core features similar to those of “indigeneity,” including cultural distinctiveness and environmental stewardship of ethnic, rural peoples. Yuanshengtai deflects attention away from historically and politically contentious issues and transnational claims for rights that would call for official recognition of “indigenous peoples” by the Chinese state. Such a romanticized rhetoric instead helps reassert the polyethnic nation’s worthiness, mostly through cultural industries since the early 2000s. This article, based on interpretive readings and ethnographic observation, zeroes in on the example of Guizhou to explore how yuanshengtai has been widely constructed as an emergent eco-cultural brand through a combination of academic forums, media events, and cultural industry promotions. It argues that the construction and promulgation of yuanshengtai allows regional elites to reiterate local uniqueness and provincial identity while embracing the state’s agenda and global aspirations, precisely because yuanshengtai hinges upon the state-market mechanism in contemporary China.

“…23 The sense that the earlier encounter had left unfinished business is most clearly articulated The tramp of the armed battalions Has sent through the land a thrill; It has stirred the hearts of the living, And the dead on Majuba Hill. 24 Ingram's lines envisage the dead at Majuba as temporarily interred, place-markers for future British victories, like the flag marked 'Resurgam'. British blood, and the poet's ink, are set to revise the history of Majuba; the soldiers of 1899 are called upon to rewrite 'with their blood' a new 'tale to tell through all the years' -a tale to replace that told by the dead of 1881.…”

Written With Their Blood: Contemplating Death in South Africa in the Newspaper Poems of 1899–1902

The South African War of 1899–1902 was a moment of crisis for the British Empire. Although it has been called the high point of British imperialism, its resonances in popular culture texts indicate that that the conflict was a source of national trauma and anxiety as well as an occasion for imperial patriotism. This essay explores the ways in which military and civilian poets writing in English for newspaper publication during the war, in Britain and around the world, were particularly troubled by the wartime landscapes of South Africa. I argue that in their representations of soldiers’ deaths, newspaper poets perform two related mapping exercises. In a cartography of loss, they reflect anxiously on a terrain strewn with British bodies, which were exposed to the extremity of the South African elements and threatened by the landscape’s otherness and apparent emptiness. Meanwhile, other newspaper poems attempt a reparative cartography of remembrance, in which a shared consciousness of buried British bodies and shed British blood could turn topographic locations into beacons in a cultural memory map. Employed by newspaper poets of different political persuasions, these tactics often aimed for patriotic or propagandistic effects, but they simultaneously express uneasiness, about British bodies and British imperial ambitions.
