Žižek And The Repoliticization Of Western Contemporary Literary Theory, Xinting Liu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
By focusing on Žižek's narrative of "post-politics," the paper elaborates on Žižek's politics of enjoyment and his reflection and critique of multiculturalism and identity politics, as well as his refusal of simplistic intervention and action. The paper maintains that Žižek rethinks the relation between the particular and the universal and opens a way of repoliticizing the political philosophy and cultural theory.

Cognitive Poetics As A Bridge Between Formal And Impressionist Criticism: On Reuven Tsur's Toward A Theory Of Cognitive Poetics, Huibin He
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
In Reuven Tsur' Toward a Theory of Cognitive Poetics, cognitive science is used to explain why certain literary text can produce certain aesthetic effect, and hence a bridge between formal criticism and impressionist criticism is built. In Tsur's book, convergent and divergent styles are set as the two extremes of stylistics, while wit and emotion as two extremes of aesthetic effects. Tsur can then discuss poetry from seven aspects, giving fresh explanations to such aesthetic terms the sublime and the grotesque from the perspective of cognitive science.

Ideas Of Poetry Study And The Paradigms Of Chinese Poetry Studies, Shilun Zhong
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
From "the study of poetry and prose" in the pre-Qin period (before 221-207 B.C.) to "the study of The Book of Poetry" in the Han Dynasty and to "the study of poetry" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the idea of poetry study in China undergoes constant change from the earliest concept of "expressing will (yanzhi)" in the antiquity. "Expressing will" is "recording events (jishi)" and "writing down the speech (jiyan) ," and fictionalization has no value in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. The act of recording contributes the main content of Chinese ancient poetry, while the appropriation of poetry …

Ihab Hassan: The Pioneer Of The Theorization Of Postmodernism, Juan Mao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Ihab Hassan is a pioneer and key figure in the theoretical debate on postmodernism in the late half of the twentieth Century. In a relative stagnant period of literary criticism theory, he surveys various types of pioneer literature, proposes for the first time the theory of postmodernism, and elaborates on the characteristics and theoretical implications of postmodernism. He extends the theory of postmodernism further to the fields of culture and philosophy, and with it his influence has also spread from the United States to Europe and other parts of the world. Hassan defines the fundamental characteristics of postmodernism as "indetermanence." …

Karaoke-Style Rituals And Music: On The Practice Of Karaoke And The Problem Of Modernity, Guanjun Wu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
As one of the key parts of metropolitan life and popular culture in contemporary China, Karaoke has so far eluded the scope of scholarly study. This paper aims not just at analyzing the phenomena spurred by Karaoke activity but essentially at developing a structural analysis of this activity itself. By juxtaposing Karaoke against the Confucian thought on music, this paper argues that the structure of Karaoke constitutes a key feature of modernity and manifests what I call the "crisis of sincerity."

On The Idea Of Progress In The Literary Criticism In The Seventeen Years After 1949 And Its Influence, Pengcheng Kou
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
In the field of pre-modern Chinese literature, progress usually referred to the countercurrent of the revival of the ancient styles or practice and it often came with the claim that each era should have a literature with its own new spirit. The concept of progress in modern literature, however, was developed fundamentally with Darwin's evolutionism, which in literary studies displayed a temporal linear development. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the idea of progress in literature implies the literature which serves the masses and the revolution, with a proletariat ideology and a realistic approach. Progress, therefore, refers …

Reading Narrative: Deterritoralization And Becoming, Daizong Yu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Modern fiction narrative does not simply rely on the plot for centralized meaning condensation, and the narrators or protagonists in the modern fiction may often be seen to reflect, reinterpret or re-aestheticize the meaning of preconfigured theme or thematic fragments in the text. This may undermine the existent boundaries of meaning field and present a multiple perspective and a dynamic thematic wandering in the process of meaning deterritorialization. Self-interference and self disintegration contribute to the prominent features of modern fiction. Therefore, the interpretation of modern fiction should not begin with how theme is reinforced but should focus on how the …

Representing The Unrepresentable: Rancière On The Ethical Turn Of Aesthetics., Jing Rao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Rancière scrutinizes the obsession with "unrepresentable" from postmodernist sublime aesthetics, and after a critical reflection on the ethical turn of aesthetics, he proposes to break into the indistinct isolated space of ethics by way of dissensus. This approach plays down on the redemption appeal and reinforces the promise of emancipation, and it reverts the critical perspective of ethics to the active aesthetics of practicum.

The 18Th-Century Theories Of Reading And Contemporary Cognitive Narratology, Wen Jin
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The 18th century is a crucial era for the rise of the novel in English and the formation of modern conceptions of narrative immersion. Engaging existing scholarship on early modern and modern theories of reading, this paper primarily discusses two issues. First, it traces the discourses of narrative immersion and narrative impact in 18th-century England, bringing together moral philosophy, aesthetic theories, brain science, literary criticism, and scenes of reading from notable 18th-century novels. The second part of the paper concerns the ways in which contemporary cognitive narratology resonates with 18th-century theories of reading, while providing the latter with productive theoretical …

The rise of visual culture studies in the 1970s and 1980s in the academic field benefited from postwar French New Theory and was linked with the Western critical reflection on modernity/post-modernity, and it has brought about some fundamental changes in the methodologies and problematic in many areas of humanities research. This paper attempts to delineate the development of visual culture studies in the West, and describes the basic issues concerning its genealogy, objects and subjects.

The Origin And Development Of Verse Structure Of "Introduction, Development, Contrast, And Conclusion", Xiaowei Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The existent scholarship shows that the compositional structure of the four couplets in a regulated poem as "Introduction, Development, Contrast, and Conclusion" was first proposed by Yang Zai and Fan Peng in the Yuan Dynasty. Yang Zai summarized various comments and arguments on metric prosody in the Tang and Song dynasties, modified by his own views, while Fan Peng argued that the structuring might apply not only to regulated verse but to all the literary creation. Fan Peng had also proposed his own criteria for the structuring of regulated verse, based perhaps on his own Jiangxi local poetics. Fan Peng's …

Western Literature Or Western Learning? On Wang Tao's Experience And Practice, Huaiqing Duan
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The communication between Wang Tao (1828-1897) and protestant missionaries in the Late Qing Dynasty focused on the Western religion and learning. When discussing Western learning, Wang Tao also used the term "literature," a term that would have great influence on the developmental history of pre-modern Chinese literary thoughts. While he had a systematic exploration into the development of Western learning and the Jesuits' works in the Late Ming, Wang Tao didn't elaborate on the concept of the term "wenxue (literature)," although he had mentioned Western poetry and other genres as well as some important Greek, Roman and British poets. Wang …

Yan Lianke And Chinese Literature In The Perspective Of World Literature, Zhang Yingjin
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
This paper delineates Yan Lianke's literary status in line with David Damrosch's tripartite definition of world literature, and then reexamines the bipolar assessments of modern Chinese literature in Western Sinology in terms of international cultural politics as represented by the Nobel Prize in Literature. With reference to two key words in Mo Yan's Nobel acceptance speech — "human" and "transcendence" — the paper further explores the contemporary transformation of realism and Yan Lianke's "spiritual realism" in theory and practice.

In the ever-evolving landscape of China's education system, the gap between the rural and urban was always an important issue, not only the multifaceted interplay of parental involvement, student self-engagement, and academic performance. This study utilized a comprehensive national survey dataset through a thorough understanding of cultural nuances and educational intricacies specific to the Chinese context. Its aim was not only to decipher the underlying constructs of parental involvement and student self-engagement but also to investigate how these factors impacted academic achievement among students. The research unfolded in several stages using a representative sample of 10750 students from 112 schools …

唐文治先生《論語大義》義理體統探要, Kwok Kwong Tang
嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies
唐文治先生（１８６５—１９５４），是近代中國的經學大師與教育家，提出“讀經救國”，身體力行，信守不渝，其編纂的《十三經大義》，是經典教育的典範。自從退任上海交通大學校長，主持無錫國專之後，親自講授《論語大義》，三易其稿而成定本。其中發揮“救民命、正人心”的兩大主題，以義理貫通全書，反本開新，意義無比重大，爲向來注家所未有。對於深入研究與理解《論語》與孔門義理，實在能够起極爲重要的推動作用。遺憾的是，這部極爲重要的２０ 世紀《論語》學著作，連同唐先生其他著作，俱面臨同樣的冷遇，至今綿綿若存，行將湮滅！令人痛心。繼絶起廢，乃學術的神聖責任。本文介紹及探討的《論語大義》，屬於唐先生具備真實見地與承先啓後的重要成果，却長期未得應有的重視，這一現象透露了當代經學盲點之巨大。因此儘量徵引文本，期望有裨於唐先生著述的流傳與經學的開拓。

皮錫瑞《詩》主諷諭説探論, Changlin Cai
嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies
本文旨在探討皮錫瑞之《詩》學主張。文章首先指出《詩經》學中主刺的傳統，不必待新的學術時代之來臨纔黯然失色，其實在以《毛詩》學爲主流的《詩經》論述裏，這樣的諷諭傳統，已被排斥在《詩經》學的解釋序列中，反倒是此一諷諭精神，保留在歷代詩歌著作中。其次，指出皮錫瑞依漢代文獻舉證《毛詩》學系統裏對《周南》、《召南》出以后妃教化之解釋，並非《詩》之本義。尤其從對《關雎》一詩性質的認定上進一步指出漢代官方的今文《詩》學立場對詩歌的性質與功能一直有清楚的認識，就是以《三百篇》當諫書。於《關雎》，則有臣子之主文譎諫，而無后妃之德風天下。再次，皮氏指出後世詩人得風人之遺者，雖托言男女，非實言男女。進而批評朱子的《詩》學態度有失偏頗，於《楚辭》之托男女，近於褻狎而不莊者，未嘗以男女淫邪解之，獨於《風》詩之托男女近於褻狎而不莊者，必盡以男女淫邪解之。最後，指出皮錫瑞認爲《詩》之主刺，並非怨刺之意，而是以温柔敦厚抒其情，委婉曲折以達之，所謂“托物爲諭，隱約其辭”，“不言理而言情，不務勝人而務感人”者。

高郵王念孫 (1744-1832) 、王引之 (1766-1834) 父子，爲清代樸學巨擘，學養深邃，其於典籍訓釋，論述嚴密，舉證精確，故結論往往一言九鼎，阮元 (1764-1849) 稱其“一字之證，博及萬卷”②，誠非謬讚。王氏之學，對後世影響十分深遠，然智者千慮，容或有失，今就《經義述聞·爾雅》“業，叙也”及“揚，續也”兩則，檢其可議之處，略陳己見，以供斟酌。
