繁花似錦見一梔子, Hiu Lam HEUNG 2019 Lingnan University

繁花似錦見一梔子, Hiu Lam Heung

Dissertations from all years

是次指導論文為一篇由多個人物描寫組成的散文創作,題目是《繁華似錦見一梔子》。

在日常生活中,每個人都會遇見不同的人。有些是自己的親友,有些是素未謀面的陌生人,他們也許行動古怪,卻有獨特的思考方式;也許他們不被身邊的人所接納的人,卻有值得被欣賞的長處。

本文紀錄筆者在求學期間遇見六個與眾不同的人,透過描寫主人公的經歷和內心獨白,帶出一個主題:無論一個人的外貌、行為和思想是否符合主流規範,也是值得被尊重、理解和關懷的。人應當有廣闊的胸懷,懂得以不同的角度看事物,不單單是知道或理解,甚至能欣賞他人。


彼岸花, Wai Shan YIU 2019 Lingnan University

彼岸花, Wai Shan Yiu

Dissertations from all years

傳說彼岸花是地獄之花,有著死亡、離別與悲傷回憶的含義。花開彼岸,冷冽的外表既美麗又憂傷,可惜花生葉落,葉長花凋,此花在命運中注定孤獨。花朵盛開之日,是幸福的來臨,還是劫難的開始?

莠芳是名性工作者,她背負失敗的婚姻,獨自養活女兒,可惜母女關係一直疏離。故事講述她在位於油麻地的一棟唐樓工作,自卑的她拒絕別人的好意,卻又一直默默守護身邊的人,不論對女兒、朋友及鄰居等,也展現強烈的情感。隨著舊樓即將被收購重建,主角重新審視這座大廈對她的意義。她一直渴望擁有一個美好的家,但隨著收購的日子迫近,她的夢想是否能如願?

「一樓一」與唐樓的關係緊密,此篇小說旨在以獨特的視野帶出香港舊樓重建的議題。隨著社會發展,香港越來越多舊樓面臨被拆卸重建,莠芳的故事只是社會上的縮影,而事實上,更多小市民被地產商剝削,卻無處申訴。筆者希望通過小說寫出舊樓對某些市民的意義,並期望借此引起其他人對這議題的關注。《彼岸花》寫舊樓收購下的小市民、本地性工作者,也寫一個卑微的母親。


汪精衛廬山詩研究, Lai Kan LAM 2019 Lingnan University

汪精衛廬山詩研究, Lai Kan Lam

Dissertations from all years

汪精衛,民國時期政治人物,早年以行刺清攝政王載灃失敗下獄傳世,後於第二次中日戰爭鼓吹「和平運動」而身敗名裂。至今學界研究大多論述其爭議的政治立場,近年雖有研究結合汪精衛的詩詞論述其背後的政治話語,但從文學角度研究汪精衛的詩詞,仍屬少數。

本文以汪精衛的山水詩為研究對象,以其廬山詩為例,全文共分四章:第一章為緒論,交代研究緣起、文獻回顧及研究方法,當中簡單交代汪精衛背景及研究山水詩在汪精衛的詩詞創作的意義。第二章以文史互證方法,嘗試疏理汪精衛出遊廬山的背景,並作創作時期的分類。第三章根據第二章創作時期的分類,提出汪精衛山水詩的藝術技巧及特色,從用境寫意、以景賦情、以我寫物三方面,論述汪精衛山水詩在不同時期的同異。第四章從歸立上兩章對汪精衛山水詩的論述,分析其詩中廬山的形象和意蘊作為結論。


楊向奎「五十凡論說」補述, Ziqian YANG 2019 Lingnan University

楊向奎「五十凡論說」補述, Ziqian Yang

Dissertations from all years

關於《左傳》“五十凡”來源、性質的探討,自杜預提出始,就成為歷代學者爭論不休的話題,論者對其來源、性質的判定辨析迄今無定論。眾說大多考證片面,理據不足,或先入為主,或有師承關係,使得“五十凡”來源問題越來越複雜化,難以讓人信服。

直到上世紀三十年代,楊向奎先生(1910-2000)通過對《左傳》凡例逐條研究,辯駁大半,於一九三五年寫就〈略論“五十凡”〉一文,反駁了杜預說,孔子非本凡例而修《經》基本已成鐵案;經歷了對《小戴禮記》中類似凡例記載的整理,對《尚書大傳》引《左傳》凡例的歸納,加上細讀文本,楊先生進一步修正了自己的意見。其後發表的〈論凡例〉,澄清了若干歷代關於凡例來源的關鍵問題,普遍為當時及後世學者所接受。

本文旨在通過細析楊向奎“五十凡論說”,著重關注楊先生兩次論說之間的變化,找出變化的原因,指出楊先生“五十凡論說”中有說服力的地方,並嘗試對當中部分例說進行補充,使其更加完善。最後,以楊先生之說為基礎,筆者將嘗試對“五十凡”性質和來源問題提出幾點自己的想法。

Treatment And Evolution Of Digital Rights: A Comparative Analysis Of China, Russia, The United States, And Germany, Karina Barbesino

Honors Program Theses

The internet and digital technologies allow for the recognition, advocation, and protection of human rights. People around the world have access to faster and exponentially more information than ever before. The possibilities for education, politics, healthcare, work, and equality have greatly expanded. The internet provides new opportunities for the progression of humanity, but not without a cost. The transformative power of the internet to both empower and infringe on human rights has not been lost on states. As a relatively new domain, the policies in cyberspace remain in their trial periods. Each state is implementing, redacting, and implementing again policies …


Shizen Nōhō: Restoring The Relationship Between Food, Nature, And People In Japan, Katharine Graham 2019 Claremont Colleges

Shizen Nōhō: Restoring The Relationship Between Food, Nature, And People In Japan, Katharine Graham

Scripps Senior Theses

In Japan’s postwar era, agriculture has become highly industrialized, involving heavy machinery, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides, all in the name of “progress.” Through employing such practices, humans have attempted to improve upon nature’s way of doing things, and in turn have degraded the soil’s fertility, natural ecosystems, and human health. In response to this, Shizen Nōhō has emerged in Japan as an alternative way of cultivating food. Shizen Nōhō practitioners challenge the notion that we need chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and machinery to farm successfully. Rather, they advocate for a way of growing food that functions seamlessly with natural ecosystems. This …

A Thesis Is A Product Is A Tracking, Yixue Li

Theses and Dissertations

In this work, I discuss how global products/ identities are made, transported and consumed, and the inevitable ‘mis-’ in acts of transmission. This research ranges from the miscommunication in languages and linguistics, to the gap between production and consumption. I investigate how things and humans are misread, mispronounced, misfit and mistranslated when they traverse social and cultural borders, arriving at a place in between languages, holding on to and letting go of things that are familiar to neither and both cultures. This work explores diverse media such as publications, videos and installations, and examines how they maybe used to address …


“There Are No Dharmas Apart From The Dharma-Sphere”: Shakya Chokden’S Interpretation Of The Dharma-Sphere, Yaroslav Komarovski 2019 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

“There Are No Dharmas Apart From The Dharma-Sphere”: Shakya Chokden’S Interpretation Of The Dharma-Sphere, Yaroslav Komarovski

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

As is well known to contemporary scholarship and demonstrated by the works contained in the present volume, the Tibetan term zhentong (gzhan stong, being empty of other) refers not to any one unanimous view or system of thought but to a wide variety of philosophical theories formed primarily in India and Tibet. Those theories are often contrasted with rival rangtong (rang stong, being empty of self)1 theories in their interpretations of reality, buddhahood, path, and other elements of the Buddhist worldiew. While many of those elements are equally open to the zhentong and rangtong interpretations, …

Rice Bunnies In China's #Metoo: Discussion Of A Feminist Movement Under Censorship, Tyler Caple 2019 University of Mississippi

Rice Bunnies In China's #Metoo: Discussion Of A Feminist Movement Under Censorship, Tyler Caple

Honors Theses

This paper aims to assess the reception of the currently developing #MeToo movement in China from the perspective of Chinese internet users, feminists, and the state government as well as how censorship affects the way in which these individuals express their opinions on gendered sexual violence in Chinese society. By using a qualitative content analysis to comb through Chinese social media posts, Chinese state- sponsored news articles, and Western news articles, findings suggest that Chinese netizens are engaging with societal concerns over #MeToo and sexual assault, but do not define their grievances as being within a movement presumably to avoid …

Applying Gadamer: An Evaluation Of Interpretations Of The Confucian Analects By Different Schools Under The Light Of Gadamerian Hermeneutics, Yifeng Xu

This thesis attempts to analyse and evaluate several interpretations of the Confucian Analects under the light of Gadamerian hermeneutics.

In chapter 2, I introduce a challenge to Gadamer’s theory regarding the problem of objectivity, give Gadamer a limited defence, and then reconstruct Gadamerian hermeneutics in order to answer the challenge. Chapter 3 deals with some further concerns about the application of Gadamerian hermeneutics in terms of evaluating interpretations. Chapter 4 and 5 are spent on analysing two groups of interpretations of the Confucian Analects as well as the …
