論過士行《鳥人》話劇中的文化迷惘主題, Ruirui Sun

Dissertations from all years

過士行，1952年出生於北京，成長於傳統的圍棋世家。1979年從北京日報新聞班畢業以後，過士行成為《北京晚報》的見習記者，在責戲劇報導期間對於話劇產生濃厚興趣。過士行從1986年莎士比亞戲劇節中獲得啟發，並在話劇導演林兆華的鼓勵下開始走上創作的道路。1993年由林兆華導演的《鳥人》在北京人民藝術劇院上演，是過士行第一部面世的戲劇作品卻引起轟動。此後，過士行持續創作出聚焦於市井人物的戲劇作品，也擔任多部電視劇與電影的編劇。過士行擅於運用獨特的角度審視當代人的精神和生活狀態，揭露人在現代社會中的矛盾。

前人學者對於《鳥人》的劇本在人物形象、藝術風格、美學特徵方面都有深刻的研究，而在其主題意藴方面，則著重分析鳥人養鳥的悖論，強調人被自己的愛好所禁錮，人與鳥互為隱喻的關係。然而作品中除去鳥人與鳥之外，過士行運用不少筆墨於知識分子，而從知識分子的視角則能更深入理解鳥人的困境心理。本文將鳥人放在全球化時代背景下討論他們精神困境的原因。第一章簡述前人學者對《鳥人》的研究成果，論述將「知識分子」的角度及其所代表的西方文明引入來探尋鳥人的文化迷惘的正當性。第二章詳細解讀鳥人痴迷養鳥文化的行為，總結鳥人的異化中所體現出來的本土特徵。第三章則在第二章的基礎上分析鳥人的本土特質與全球化時代的矛盾，分析出鳥人入魔般養鳥行為的背後成因，並在解析知識分子與鳥人矛盾的符號化意義的同時引入「文明衝突論」來理解鳥人群體的痴迷與迷惘心裡。

Dissertations from all years

韓松作為一個本職為記者的中國當代科幻作家，作品主要以現實問題為出發點，呈現出一個惡托邦式的未來世界，以此喚起讀者對於科技發展對人類未來影響的關注。而韓松的《醫院》三部曲：《醫院》、《驅魔》、《亡靈》講述了一個醫療科技發達的未來中人類的處境，當中病人的創傷以及痛苦，亦是當下人所面對的問題。故本文以醫療人文為切入點，研究《醫院》三部曲的文本本身如何以敘事治療的方式，令讀者得到療愈。

本文的第一章為緒論，簡要介紹韓松及《醫院》三部曲，以及研究背景。第二章分析《醫院》三部曲當中的疾病書寫以及惡托邦世界。第三章將探討作品當中針對疾病所提出的治療手段如何成為醫院鞏固自身的工具，從而令醫院成為一個絕望的世界，引起讀者的恐懼。第四章將承接上章有關恐懼的討論，分析《醫院》三部曲如何作為敘事治療，結合Nöel Carroll提出的「恐怖的哲學」，令讀者在閱讀過程中得到療愈。

張愛玲小説的音樂性與音樂元素研究, Yuk Sum Tsoi

Dissertations from all years

音樂結構隨著歷史的流變複雜化，由單聲到中世紀歐洲的多聲對位結構，衍生出諸多音樂理論。20世紀巴赫金（Mikhail Bakhtin）的《陀思妥耶夫斯基詩學問題》進一步跨界延伸，討論了音樂與小說之間的媒介間性（Intermediality），開拓了新的研究空間。

本文以張愛玲小說作品為研究對象，分析其在結構與肌理上和中西方音樂的互通。結構層面是研究這一維度的重心，於小說和音樂而言是骨架，深藏於表面之下，是作品內在組織的基礎。宏觀來看，張愛玲的小說受到了西方的音樂技巧和結構影響，〈第一爐香〉和〈金鎖記〉有機地契合了古典音樂的卡農式結構，而短節奏與長節奏的運用形成〈封鎖〉的瞬間和〈傾城之戀〉的皺褶式敘述節奏。

肌理與結構相互依存，是小說表面的紋理與質地，供讀者去觸摸感受。張愛玲小說的文字間浮現了各種中國民族調性樂聲，不乏吹、彈、拉、打的例子：〈傾城之戀〉的胡琴、《半生緣》的琵琶、《怨女》的嗩吶和鑼鼓等等，行文間以這些符號來塑造蒼涼基調。

異化母系社會下的女性悲劇——論莫言《豐乳肥臀》之生殖崇拜, Lee Chun Wong

Dissertations from all years

生殖崇拜是《豐乳肥臀》的核心文化觀念。作者莫言以充滿生命力的身體描寫和複雜的多重人物塑造，表達了對母親的歌頌和女性身體的尊崇。最原始的生殖崇拜對象為女性，直接建構了原始母系社會。因此，書中背景雖設於新中國父系社會時期，但貫穿全文的女性生殖崇拜流露了母系社會的蹤影，並與父權社會造成衝突，導致不同的女性困境。

本文將以人物分析角度，探討小說中的女性生殖崇拜和母系社會現象，並論述當父系社會取而代之，女性悲劇是如何發生的。文章分為四部分：首先，導言部分將簡略介紹作者莫言，並闡述研究背景和研究概況；其次，筆者將簡述生殖崇拜的起源和形式和其與母系社會的關聯性；然後，分別分析四個代表性人物：上官魯氏、上官想弟、上官領弟和上官金童，分析母系和父系社會碰撞之下的女性悲劇；最後總結全文作結。

論《1984》中的語言控制, Kei Yau Yeung

Dissertations from all years

《1984》作為反極權的代表作品，以多方面的禁制塑造了一個惡托邦，警醒世人身處極權之中的可怖。其中，語言這方面常被忽略，但是實際上有著顯著的影響。一些標誌性的詞語例如新語、雙重思想、老大哥等也是廣為人知，正反映了掌權者從語言著手，步步進逼地收窄人們的自由空間，使他們的語言處處受限，而出現人們理智盡失、無反抗之力的情況。因此，本文會透過分析小說中為控制而設的語言特質和措施，及所達到的具體效果，並扣連作者對於現實中的語言環境與極權社會的反思，提出跟現代社會的關聯性。

湧浪, Wai Yee Leung

Dissertations from all years

「也許人生就是不斷在選擇、懊悔和痛苦中循環。」

一步錯、步步錯，我們在人生這局巨大的棋盤中，曾有幾何做過後悔終生的事？棋局無數，而人生卻只得匆匆一場。落子一錯，往後的棋路皆亂了陣數，回首卻是非岸，只好偏執了思想繼續在湧浪中上掙扎人生的路向，在無垠的苦海中猛烈游盪。

本作的主角，在上個世紀出生的同性戀者——許文德的人生即是如此。
然而，到底是逢一出生就注定的悲劇，抑或是個人選擇所導致的窮途末路？在這個可憐可悲可憎的人物中所探討的，是有關人生結局的哲理思想：人之所以達至今天的局面，到底是身不由己，還是自作自受？路向的選擇權，到底是緊握在手，或是從來沒有？

中國古代音樂文學的創作模式, Jian-Hua Zhang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

中國古代音樂文學的創作模式主要有“以樂從辭”“選辭配樂”“由樂定辭”三種。“以樂從辭”的創作機理是“聲依永，律和聲”，這與“由樂定辭”的創作機理正好相反，“由樂定辭”的創作機理乃是“永依聲”。“選辭配樂”的創作機理是選既成之辭配入既成之曲，既有對辭的“拼湊分割”，亦有對曲的“填實虚聲”。“元狩、元鼎”與“開元、天寶”是三種創作模式轉折的兩個關鍵的時間節點，伴隨創作模式之變更，辭樂關係也隨之發生一定的微妙變動。

Yi yue cong ci 以樂從辭 (lit., to compose the melody according to the lyrics), xuan ci pei yue 選辭配樂 (lit., to select an existing lyrics to match an existing melody), and you yue ding ci 由樂定辭 (lit., to write the lyrics according to the melody) are the three major creative modes of classical Chinese musical literature. Yi yue cong ci’s mechanism is sheng yi yong, lü he sheng 聲依永, 律和聲 (the sound relies on the singing, and pitch-pipes harmonize sound), while you yue ding ci’s mechanism is the opposite yong yi sheng 永依聲 (the singing relies on …

吳廷華《儀禮》筆法研究探論, Lok Man Lee

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

《儀禮》嚮稱難讀。傳統以分節、繪圖、釋例爲治禮之法。三法之外，歷代禮家對《儀禮》筆法每有關注，卻未成系統。清代禮學大家吳廷華（1682—1725）著《儀禮章句》，其書於分節繪圖釋例三途，用力均篤，被譽爲“學禮者階梯”。吳書關注《儀禮》筆法，作經者的行文舖排、遣辭用字，每加析説，見解獨到。本文舉吳氏《章句》對《儀禮》筆法之意見凡十類，包括《儀禮》中的變文、行文語序、提示語、預陳其書、書有見無、省文、互文、相兼乃備、特定的虚詞等，各據例證。由於筆法每與禮例及禮意往往相須而成，吳氏對《儀禮》筆法的意見，與鄭、賈注疏互有異同，詮解出與注疏不同的禮經文本。藉此説明《儀禮》筆法應立爲專門之學，爲研治禮經之重要方法。

被折疊的詞史段落 : 康熙末至乾隆初的浙西詞派與浙西詞壇, Shuiyun Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

從康熙末到乾隆初這一段時間，在以往的詞史叙述中往往被忽略掉了，而這一時段正是浙西詞派影響擴大、厲鶚在詞壇地位逐漸上升的時期。朱彝尊退出詞壇之後，柯煜、杜詔、樓儼等接續其思想，或刊刻南宋詞籍，或參與詞書修纂，或組織詩詞唱和，在京師和江南壯大了浙派的聲勢，在浙西桐鄉、平湖、海寧、海鹽、錢塘等地更出現了浙派第二、三代傳人，這時徐逢吉、吳焯、厲鶚逐漸嶄露頭角，先後在杭州、揚州、天津組織了多次詩詞唱和，成爲浙西詞壇的主盟者，厲鶚在乾隆初更以其清婉深秀的風格引領一時風尚，得到了南北詞壇的一致推崇。

The period from the Late Kangxi to the Early Qianlong Period of Qing has often been omitted in the narratives of the history of ci. However, this is the period when the Western Zhejiang School’s influence expanded and Li E’s 厲鶚 fame rose in the ci circle. After Zhu Yizun’s 朱彝尊 withdrawal from the circle, Ke Yu 柯煜, Du Zhao 杜詔, and Lou Yan 樓儼 continued his thoughts by publishing collections of ci of the Southern Song dynasty and organizing ci recitations, which strengthened the Zhejiang School’s influence in Beijing and Jiangnan. There even appeared a second or …
