Drawing on a wide range of sources\u2014including scripts, city guides, biographies, diaries, letters, and visual materials\u2014the book argues that courtesans were not merely subjects of representation but active agents who reshaped theatrical form, performance conditions, and literary style. In doing so, it challenges male-centered historiography and offers a new framework for understanding gender, media, and creativity in early modern Chinese theater.<\/p>\n<p>This event is co-sponsored by the USC East Asian Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n                \n                                      \n<div class=\"f--field f--link\">\n\n    \n    \n  \n<a \n  class=\"link\"\n  href= https:\/\/calendar.usc.edu\/event\/easc-guest-speaker-series-writing-against-erasure-courtesans-performance-and-the-making-of-late-ming-drama-talk-by-peng-xu\n    aria-label=\"Read Story about EASC Guest Speaker Series: Writing Against Erasure: Courtesans, Performance, and the Making of Late Ming Drama - Talk by Prof. Peng Xu\"  \n>\n    Read Story \n  \n<\/a>\n\n\n<\/div>\n                \n              <\/div>\n\n            <\/div> <!-- .text-container -->\n\n            <div class=\"expand-collapse-controls\">\n              <button class=\"expand-collapse swiper-no-swiping\" aria-label=\"Expand\/Collapse Description\">\n                <svg class=\"expand\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 35 35\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 35 35\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" fill=\"#000000\" d=\"M28,7v7.9h-2.6l0-3.4l-4.3,4.3c-0.3,0.3-0.6,0.4-0.9,0.4s-0.7-0.1-0.9-0.4c-0.5-0.5-0.5-1.3,0-1.9l4.3-4.3h-3.4V7H28z M7,28v-7.9h2.6v3.4l4.3-4.3c0.5-0.5,1.3-0.5,1.9,0c0.5,0.5,0.5,1.3,0,1.9l-4.3,4.3h3.4V28H7z\"\/><\/svg>\n\n                <svg class=\"collapse\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\"\n   viewBox=\"0 0 35 35\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 35 35\" xml:space=\"preserve\">\n  <polygon fill=\"#000\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" points=\"26,10.4 24.6,9 17.5,16.1 10.4,9 9,10.4 16.1,17.5\n  9,24.6 10.4,26 17.5,18.9 24.6,26 26,24.6 18.9,17.5 \"\/>\n  <\/svg>\n\n              <\/button>\n            <\/div> <!-- .expand-collapse-controls -->\n\n            <\/div>\n\n          <\/article>\n\n                  \n        \n          <article class=\"swiper-slide card\">\n            <div class=\"card-inner\">\n\n                                        \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--image\">\n\n    \n        <a href=\"https:\/\/calendar.usc.edu\/event\/poetry-as-medium-ho-nansohon-a-ming-palace-examination-scandal-and-the-problem-of-womens-poetry\"  aria-label=\"Poetry as Medium: H\u014f Nans\u014fh\u014fn, a Ming Palace-Examination Scandal, and the Problem of Women\u2019s Poetry\">\n  \n    \n    \n    \n    \n              \n      <img decoding=\"async\"\n                            src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/eascenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/08\/Poetry-as-Medium-768x432.png\"\n          srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/eascenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/08\/Poetry-as-Medium-768x432.png 768w\"          sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 23vw, (min-width:768px) 39vw, 83vw\"\n        \n                  role=\"none\"\n        \n        \n                                      \/>\n\n    \n    \n  \n      <\/a>\n  \n\n<\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"text-container\">\n                                <h4>\n                                          <a href=\"https:\/\/calendar.usc.edu\/event\/poetry-as-medium-ho-nansohon-a-ming-palace-examination-scandal-and-the-problem-of-womens-poetry\" >\n                    \n                      Poetry as Medium: H\u014f Nans\u014fh\u014fn, a Ming Palace-Examination Scandal, and the Problem of Women\u2019s Poetry\n\n                                          <\/a>\n                                      <\/h4>\n              \n              <div class=\"read-more\">\n                                      \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p><b>Tuesday, October 13, 2026 | 12:30PM-1:50PM | DML 240 | <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSeG6zgIut-icAr7JLtFwHfWYrBTLrbI-bRs4lkcAr73iB8_ZA\/viewform\">RSVP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Professor Peng Xu of Shanghai Tech University will give a talk on how poetry anthology by Chos\u014fn woman poet H\u014f Nans\u014frh\u014fn (1563\u20131589), published by Shen Yaohua in Ming China, became mediating object produced at the intersection of postwar diplomacy, Jiangnan private print culture, maritime circulation, and factional politics at the Wanli court.

Rather than treating plants merely as symbols or passive objects of representation, scholars have increasingly explored their materiality, agency, and ecological relationships with humans. This talk offers a brief overview of major theoretical approaches in plant humanities before turning to a case study of bajiao (Chinese banana) in premodern Chinese literature and visual culture, and how bajiao became an active participant in the formation of religious thought, sensory perception, regional imagination, literary expression, and garden aesthetics in premodern China.<\/p>\n<p>This event is co-sponsored by the USC East Asian Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n                \n                                      \n<div class=\"f--field f--link\">\n\n    \n    \n  \n<a \n  class=\"link\"\n  href= https:\/\/calendar.usc.edu\/event\/copy-of-easc-guest-speaker-series-writing-against-erasure-courtesans-performance-and-the-making-of-late-ming-drama-talk-by-peng-xu-948\n    aria-label=\"Read Story about EASC Guest Speaker Series: Encountering Bajiao: Plants, Perception, and Meaning-Making in Premodern China - Talk by Prof. Meimei Zhang\"  \n>\n    Read Story \n  \n<\/a>\n\n\n<\/div>\n                \n              <\/div>\n\n            <\/div> <!-- .text-container -->\n\n            <div class=\"expand-collapse-controls\">\n              <button class=\"expand-collapse swiper-no-swiping\" aria-label=\"Expand\/Collapse Description\">\n                <svg class=\"expand\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 35 35\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 35 35\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" fill=\"#000000\" d=\"M28,7v7.9h-2.6l0-3.4l-4.3,4.3c-0.3,0.3-0.6,0.4-0.9,0.4s-0.7-0.1-0.9-0.4c-0.5-0.5-0.5-1.3,0-1.9l4.3-4.3h-3.4V7H28z M7,28v-7.9h2.6v3.4l4.3-4.3c0.5-0.5,1.3-0.5,1.9,0c0.5,0.5,0.5,1.3,0,1.9l-4.3,4.3h3.4V28H7z\"\/><\/svg>\n\n                <svg class=\"collapse\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\"\n   viewBox=\"0 0 35 35\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 35 35\" xml:space=\"preserve\">\n  <polygon fill=\"#000\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" points=\"26,10.4 24.6,9 17.5,16.1 10.4,9 9,10.4 16.1,17.5\n  9,24.6 10.4,26 17.5,18.9 24.6,26 26,24.6 18.9,17.5 \"\/>\n  <\/svg>\n\n              <\/button>\n            <\/div> <!-- .expand-collapse-controls -->\n\n            <\/div>\n\n          <\/article>\n\n                  \n        \n          <article class=\"swiper-slide card\">\n            <div class=\"card-inner\">\n\n                                        \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--image\">\n\n    \n        <a href=\"https:\/\/calendar.usc.edu\/event\/levan-book-chatmengxiao-wang-performing-enlightenment\"  aria-label=\"Levan Book Chat\u2014Mengxiao Wang, Performing Enlightenment\">\n  \n    \n    \n    \n    \n              \n      <img decoding=\"async\"\n                            src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/eascenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/08\/Levan-Mengxiao-Wang-768x432.png\"\n          srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/eascenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/08\/Levan-Mengxiao-Wang-768x432.png 768w\"          sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 23vw, (min-width:768px) 39vw, 83vw\"\n        \n                  role=\"none\"\n        \n        \n                                      \/>\n\n    \n    \n  \n      <\/a>\n  \n\n<\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"text-container\">\n                                <h4>\n                                          <a href=\"https:\/\/calendar.usc.edu\/event\/levan-book-chatmengxiao-wang-performing-enlightenment\" >\n                    \n                      Levan Book Chat\u2014Mengxiao Wang, Performing Enlightenment\n\n                                          <\/a>\n                                      <\/h4>\n              \n              <div class=\"read-more\">\n                                      \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p><b>Tuesday, November 10, 2026 | 11:00AM-12:00PM | DML 240 | <a href=\"https:\/\/usc.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/jnp1yIFiRKirS5UmwLZKDg#\/registration\">RSVP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>A discussion of\u00a0Mengxiao Wang&#8217;s new book,\u00a0<i>Performing Enlightenment:\u00a0Buddhism and Theater in Early Modern China\u00a0<\/i>(Harvard University Press, 2026). The author will be joined in conversation by Shih-shan Susan Huang (Rice University) and Wilt L. Idema (Harvard University), moderated by Lori Meeks (USC). Organized in partnership with the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and the East Asian Studies Center.<\/p>\n<p><b>About the Book:<\/b>\u00a0In early modern China, a major revival of Buddhism coincided with a surging fascination with theater. Buddhist monastics and laypeople increasingly participated in viewing, discussing, and writing plays. Far from merely serving as a medium for conveying religious teachings and practices, drama became a source of deep concern for Buddhists due to the perceived tension between spiritual discipline and worldly entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hup.harvard.edu\/books\/9780674303423\">Performing Enlightenment<\/a>,<\/i>\u00a0Mengxiao Wang examines how Buddhist clerics and laity engaged with and drove innovations in theater during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Drawing on an extensive range of sources\u2014including clerical sermons, scriptural commentaries, temple gazetteers, morality books, literati prose, and dramatic texts and paratexts\u2014Wang argues that Ming-Qing Buddhists resolved the conflict between religion and entertainment by transforming theater into a creative mode of devotional practice. Consequently, playwriting, stage performance, and theatergoing all emerged as legitimate pathways to spiritual enlightenment. This interdisciplinary work provides fresh insights into Chinese studies, Buddhist studies, and theater studies while offering a comparative perspective on the complex interplay between religion, literature, and performance across cultures.<\/p>\n<p><b>About the Author:\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/profile\/mengxiao-wang\/\">Mengxiao Wang<\/a>\u00a0is Assistant Professor of Chinese Literature at the University of Southern California.<\/p>\n<p>Open to attendants outside of USC.
