Il Rosario Di Hiroshima, Hubert F. Schiffer, Federica Favaretta Tr.

Library Special Collections

Account of the survival of Jesuit priests (among them Father Hubert Schiffer) near the center of the atom bomb attack on Hiroshima. Their survival was considered by many to be a miracle. The Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima was started by Rev. Harold V. Colgan when he was completely cured of a serious heart attack after praying to the Blessed Virgin Mary. If cured he promised to spend the rest of his life spreading devotion to her. Blue Army members promise to say the Rosary every day, consecrate themselves to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and offer sacrifices and …

The Family Of Japanese No-Wa Cleft Construction: A Register-Based Analysis, Michiko Kaneyasu

World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications

This paper presents a comparative study of the Japanese (pseudo-)cleft no-wa construction, schematized as: [clause] no-wa [NP/AdvP/clause] (da), in four spoken/written registers: informal conversations, academic presentations, news reports, and newspaper editorials. The study finds that the no-wa cleft appears more frequently in non-objective discourse that deals with a higher level of complexity. Close examination of instantiations of the no-wa cleft uncovers various register-oriented functions that show a varied degree of family resemblance with one another. These functions can be subsumed under two general functional properties of the no-wa construction: highlighting function at the local level and (retrospective) anticipatory …

Medieval Khmer Society: The Life And Times Of Jayavarman Vii (Ca. 1120–1218), Paul K. Nietupski

2019 Faculty Bibliography

Jayavarman VII (ca. 1120–1218) is one of the best known Cambodian “Angkor” leaders, in part because he was able to unite the numerous small, fragmented Khmer Cambodian and Cham kingdoms of the day. He ruled his consolidated Khmer kingdom from 1181–1218, bringing the decentralized Khmer and Cham states together through political and military alliances. Religion, especially India-derived Brahmanism, or “Hinduism,” Mahāyāna Buddhism, and local Cambodian religion, was a key component of Khmer society. Over time different Khmer rulers endorsed one or more of the religious systems to their own advantage. Jayavarman VII was especially committed to Mahāyāna Buddhism, evidenced by …

A Global Hybridity: Snakehead Influence On Identity And Migration, Teeana Cotangco

CMC Senior Theses

Through introduction of Fujian Province as home to the largest migrant population in the world, this article aims to address the negotiation of intersections between local and global forces that form new spaces throughout the diaspora. The "third space," a term coined by Homi Bhabha, addresses the fluid identity of Chinese-Filipino individuals that both acknowledges the traditional notions of "Chinese" while being influenced by a history of colonization in the Spanish Philippines. I incorporate my own personal experience as an American-born Chinese-Filipino navigating new spaces, and also the experience of my family members through interviews.

從迷惘感到幻滅感 : 楊德昌的《牯嶺街少年殺人事件》及《一一》, Tat Him Tang

Dissertations from all years

在台灣新電影的發展中，楊德昌對於都市生活的刻劃有別於同期如侯孝賢等導演的鄉土懷舊抒情，他對於都市中潛伏的危機，或人與人關係的不穩定都有其與眾不同的處理手法。本文討論楊德昌的兩部電影，《牯嶺街少年殺人事件》（1991）是他作品中少見的以台灣本土歷史作題材的電影，但仍不失其對社會精準而細膩的批判。《一一》（2000）為楊德昌的遺作，透過台灣一個中產家庭的故事探討現代都市人的生存狀態，挖掘生命的意義。本文旨在探討《牯嶺街少年殺人事件》中的迷惘感、《一一》這部後期作品中所傳達的幻滅感，以及導演如何呈現兩代人所面對的不同的困境，以及存在的狀態。 本論文分為五個部分：第一章為緒論，指出楊德昌電影的主題和特色，及其在台灣新電影中的地位，並簡介兩部電影所處的歷史氛圍。第二章分析《牯嶺街少年殺人事件》中，台灣人的迷惘感。第三章討論《一一》中的幻滅感。第四章借用存在主義理論分析兩部電影所傳達的迷惘感及幻滅感。最後第五章為結論，總結這兩部電影對台灣社會歷史及人文價值的貢獻。

論中國戲曲背景與同性戀建構之關係 : 以《霸王別姬》為例, Tsz Nok Lam

Dissertations from all years

「帝王將相，才人佳子的故事，諸位聽得不少。那些情情義義，恩恩愛愛，卿卿我我，都瑰麗莫名。根本不是人間顏色。人間，只是抹去了脂粉的臉。」人生如戲，兩者之間從來沒有清晰的分界。

中國古代早有餘桃斷袖的典故，同志文學在幾千年來文學史上不無地位。若《品花寶鑑》是古代同性戀小說的其一代表，李碧華的《霸王別姬》就是近代文學史上的代表作。

學界對《霸王別姬》的研究無數，學者主要分析小說內容的象徵性、小說和中國歷史相關的背後隱喻、與陳凱歌的改編電影作對讀比較。此外，研究課題還包括為程蝶衣這個角色作不同的心理解讀，乃至研究程蝶衣是先天抑或是後天的同性戀者。但在研究成果中，卻鮮見結合心理、社會和舞台理論分析李碧華在小說中的同性戀建構。

本文第一部分以文本細讀的分析手段，附以心理學、性別和社會理論分析影響程蝶衣同性戀傾向的外在因素。第二部分將從中西方戲劇理論剖析舞台界線模糊與程蝶衣強化同性愛戀之關係，第三部份詳細探討其自身因素多大程度上促成小說可悲和遺憾的結局。

逝城, Chun Sze Woo

Dissertations from all years

〈逝城〉中的人物，以「你」泛稱著正在閱讀此文的你，在即將踏入二零四七之際作為背景，長期瑟縮在家而不願面對你城萬千更替的「你」，接到了房東來信，給予了「你」搬家的命題，繼而展開搬家的工作：寫「你」找房子、更改戶籍，到最後搬屋後的狀況；同一時間，〈逝城〉又串插著「你」在家中所找到的《逝城》一書—— 一部企圖抨擊時政而最終不獲取錄的劇本，講述一個美滿家庭因社會建設的騙局而走向破碎的劇目，兩個故事雙線並行，各自暗暗地交代著香港這數十年的足跡與歲月。

就正如〈逝城〉一文中所言，「已逝之城還是將逝之城，這留待讀者的考量」。這篇文章的解讀，不同人或會有不同的意義，上一代人閱讀，也許會有一份熟悉與懷念感油然而生，因內文描寫著香港昔日的回憶，不論是「歡樂今宵」的晚安曲，或是那個「電視撈飯」的年代。但對於這一代的人而言，便是有著更深一層的想法，時代賦予了我們更多的命題：到底香港的前路如何、本土的價值、香港人的身分追尋與焦慮、甚至看完後是對「香港」一詞不禁有種悼念的感受，種種的種種均沒有一個實際的解答，然後換來的只有一份空虛與無力。希望透過〈逝城〉這篇作品，可以牽動你內心深處的某個角落，讓你能重新反思與正視香港這個城市，這片你生活已久的土地的存在。

The Study Of Free Will In The East And The West, Nicholas J. Colecio

Honors Undergraduate Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to understand the origins of the enduring differences between the Eastern and Western interpretations of free will and determinism. In my piece, I work to determine the roots of these differences and to what degree these differences have been challenged and disrupted in the 20^th century. In this pursuit, I analyze the different philosophies of free will in the East and West and then apply these philosophies to the literature of both regions. For the eastern scholarship, I am using Yukio Mishima's The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea and Motojirō …

From Micro To Marco: Jade Snuff Bottles In Qianlong Era, Jinpeng Wang

MA Theses

Emperor Qianlong, whose original name is Aisin Gioro Hongli, was the sixth emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Qianlong was one of the most famous emperors in Chinese history. As the word “Qianlong” means in Manchu, he was truly blessed by the god: the Qing Empire was already very strong when Qianlong came into power; meanwhile, Qianlong had a relatively stable outside environment. It allows Qianlong to be able to focus on pushing his own governing policy. Qianlong’s policy of agricultural development and tax reduction was very effective, under sixty years of reign, the empire has expanded its territory, and the …

Private Art Museum Backed By Hong Kong Invetment - Wan Fung Art Musem As An Example, Yiye Chen

雙關與歧義 : 以近期香港電影宣傳為例, Ambrose Yiu Lam Leung

Dissertations from all years

諧音因應漢語自身具備的語音特色而生，常被香港電影業界用作構成電影片名或相關宣傳語句，見例如：《緣來無限期》(Home again ，臺譯《愛情齡距離》2018)，宣傳語為「1月18日愛情回閨」。上例的港版片名以至宣傳導語均見諧音手法。縱觀電影業界，諧音在港版電影宣傳尤為常見，比起其他地區，如中國大陸、臺灣地區等，港版電影不論本地出品抑或外語翻譯作品同樣會同上諧音手法命名。在電影宣傳上巧妙運用諧音既能讓暸解該個語言體系的觀眾留下深刻印象，又能委婉地透露該片內容大要，藉此吸引觀眾購票入場。在現代漢語修辭當中，獨特的語音特色發展出不同修辭手法，雙關借音，便屬其一。然而，歧義主要因音而見，顯得兩者組成條件互有相似。雖歧義目前被廣泛視為語病，但歷來亦有學者將歧義歸入修辭。換句話說，關於歧義的修辭性質各家各說。有見學者眾說紛紜，本文遂以港版電影宣傳為研究對象，透過電影的諧音宣傳，展示電影當中所體現的雙關和歧義，由此分析兩者是否有異。文末整合各派意見之後，將提出己見。

淺析粵語虛詞「同」與「同埋」的分別, Shan Lam

Dissertations from all years

虛詞和實詞為漢語中兩個大類。相比實詞，漢語中的虛詞數目比實詞要少，且無法充當主要 的句法成分，但由於其語法功能之多，虛詞依然佔漢語中一個十分重要的位置。在意義上，虛詞可表達出抽象、非形態的語法意義，大部分實詞之間的關係、語氣等都需依靠虛詞表達。要理解漢語，就需要先理解漢語中的虛詞。

粵語為漢語系統其中一分支，有其獨特的語言方式及習慣，虛詞的使用方法與其他分支的亦不盡相同。「同」、「同埋」為粵語中常用的虛詞， 一般而言，語法書、語言工具書都將其解釋為與「同」相當的虛詞。但實際習慣上，其實有不少情況只能用其中之一，兩者並非完全相同。對這兩個虛詞的選擇，有可能會影響句子的意義，或違反粵語的語 法習慣。因此，本文將以日常例子找出現時研究中缺漏的，有關兩者的用法及意義，並分析兩者的分別。

另外，「埋」為粵語中另一常用虛詞，與「同埋」的關係亦值得討論。因此，在分析「同」與「同埋」的分別之後，本文亦會根據這些分別，討論「同埋」與「同」、「埋」的關係。

釋「脣」與「唇」字 : 兼論其成為異體字之源流, Kwun Wai Law

Dissertations from all years

一般人把表達「嘴脣」義的「脣」字當作「唇」的異體字，例如《漢語大詞典》便將「脣」列為「唇」的異體字，兩字都讀作chún，而一般場合也用「唇」多於「脣」。而古代的一些文獻，「嘴脣」之義也有寫作「脣」或「唇」的，兩字在字義、字音兩方面似乎構成異體字的關係，在任何場合都可作互換。

然而，翻查東漢許慎所著的《說文解字》，「脣」字解釋為「口耑也，从肉辰聲。䫃，古文脣从頁。」本義為「嘴脣」之義。而「唇」字解釋為「驚也，从口辰聲。」本義為「震驚」之義，兩字字義本不相同，不作混同。至於在字音方面，「脣」字在《廣韻》標作「食倫切」，為合口三等的全濁字，「唇」的反切則為「側鄰切」，為開口三等的全清字，兩字讀音絕不相同。可見，從兩字的字義及字音看，「脣」與「唇」在上古及中古時期都不構成異體字的關係。

雖然不少學者如(清)徐灝、章太炎都留意到兩字的不同，然而他們皆沒有對二字成為異體字的源流進行深入研究，二字在什麼時候、什麼原因混同成一起仍有不少探討的空間。因此，本文旨在解釋「脣」與「唇」字，並兼論兩字成為異體字的源流及其原因。

論《剪燈新話》中人鬼婚戀對女性文學形象的重建 : 〈以金鳳釵記〉、〈牡丹燈記〉和〈綠衣人傳〉為例, Tsz Ho Ng

Dissertations from all years

《剪燈新話》成於明洪武十一年，隨即因其獨特的思想題材而受到當時文人歡迎。作者瞿佑在序中提及《剪燈新話》旨於「勸善懲惡」，所記之事都是「遠不出百年，近止在數載」，能一定程度上反映元明時期的社會現實。凌雲翰亦以「造意之奇，措詞之妙，粲然自成一家」評之，可見其具有相當的文學價值。再者，《剪燈新話》興起後不斷出現如《剪燈餘話》、《覓燈因話》等仿效之作，甚至流傳到海外促使諸如越南之《傳奇漫錄》、日本之《奇異雜記談》、朝鮮之《金鰲新話》等作品，不但為明清小說發展甚至漢文化區文學帶來深遠影響。

雖然《剪燈新話》中的愛情題材作品共有九篇，然而涉及人鬼婚戀卻只有金鳳釵記、牡丹燈記與綠衣人傳三篇。本文將先論證中國傳統文學對女性形象的建構，再就上述三篇分別論證《剪燈新話》對女性形象的重建。首先借西方社會學家福柯Michel Foucault對權力和知識(Power/Knowledge)的理論分析金鳳釵記的兩性地位。然後，借西方電影批評家勞拉·穆爾維(Laura Mulvey)的男性凝視(male gaze)分析的男性凝視。最後借明清時期「唯情」一派學說分析綠衣人傳的「情至」觀念。
