DESCRIPTION:The Studio in the Mind\n\nDr. Yunshuang Zhang\, Assistant Profe
 ssor of Chinese\, Wayne State University\n\n \n\nAbstract:\n\nThe studio\,
  or shuzhai 書齋\, was an enclosed site specifically used for reading\, writ
 ing\, and artistic creation. Although a few studios were recorded in pre-S
 ong texts\, it was during the Song dynasty (960–1279) that the studio had 
 become a prominent cultural space for literati. It was both an object of s
 cholarly representation and the medium through which the literatus’ everyd
 ay practices were affected. Even when Song literati had to be away from th
 e physical studio for reasons such as official service or sightseeing\, or
  when they could not afford a physical studio\, they were still engaged in
  constructing a temporary studio or even a virtual studio in their minds.
 \n\nThis talk thus focuses on the strategies that Song literati employed t
 o symbolically assert a separate space apart from the outside world and th
 erefore ensure scholarly enjoyment and mental delight in privacy even unde
 r unstable conditions.\n
