蕭紅《生死場》與《呼蘭河傳》的抗日主題, Yat Long Wong

Dissertations from all years

「我知道，我還是免不了想，我算甚麼呢？屈辱算甚麼呢？災難算甚麼呢？甚至死算甚麼呢？我不明白，我究竟是一個人還是兩個；是這樣想的是了呢？還是那樣想的是。不錯，只要飛，但同時覺得……我會掉下來。」

坎坷的命運，短暫的創作生涯，「天空是低的，羽翼是稀薄的」。即使有著諸多限制，有「文壇洛神」美譽的蕭紅仍然寫出了不少為人稱道的作品，包括兩部傳世經典長篇小說：《生死場》與《呼蘭河傳》。夏志清先生坦言他沒有將這兩部名篇納入《中國現代小說史》是「最不可寬恕的疏忽」。

歷來關於《生死場》的抗日主題，一直存在爭論。歷代研究者致力從不同方面闡釋《生死場》的主題，為蕭紅的創作源由提供了多個解讀方式。前人研究多從理論出發，少以文本為綱，尚有待補漏之處。故本文旨在深入文本，從故事中人物的轉變分析《生死場》的抗日主題，並探討《生死場》與《呼蘭河傳》主題的關係。

本文可大致分為三部分，第一部分將回歸文本，梳理《生死場》中的人物在抗日前後的轉變；第二部分則以第一部分的內容為綱，審視《生死場》的抗日主題，並分析抗日情節在小說中所起的作用；第三部分則把《生死場》與《呼蘭河傳》連繫起來，探討蕭紅在《呼蘭河傳》中未有繼承在《生死場》中的抗日情節的原因。

論張愛玲與白先勇小說的失婚女性：以〈傾城之戀〉、〈金鎖記〉、〈玉卿嫂〉及〈金大奶奶〉為例, Lok Tung Choi

Dissertations from all years

白先勇與張愛玲皆是深受兩岸三地所愛戴且關注的作家，兩人有不錯相似之處︰中西兼家；承襲《紅》學；貴族之後等等。因此，王德威稱白先勇為六十年代私淑張愛玲最有成就者亦無可厚非，及後學界對張愛玲與白先勇的對讀研究更是絡絡不絕。張愛玲與白先勇小說的女性形象均相當突出，但卻鮮有研究針對兩人作品的互文性。

失婚女性一直為中國現代文學的重點書寫對象， 如魯迅的〈祝福〉、郁達夫的〈遲桂花〉及許地山的〈商人婦〉等。可是大部份作家筆下的失婚女性和張愛玲與白先勇所寫的卻有所不同。

本文將著重研究張愛玲的〈傾城之戀〉、〈金鎖記〉及白先勇的〈玉卿嫂〉、〈金大奶奶〉中的失婚女性，將其故事結構有系統地拆解、對比，並尋找其中同中之異。其次，將二人的作品放在中國現代文學史的版圖中，尋找與其他的作品，以把二人的作品更清晰地定位。最後，在分析故事結構的過程中，輔以作家的散文作文本互涉，從而尋找張愛玲與白先勇的作品中找出其互文關係。

咔嚓, Hok Him Wong

Dissertations from all years

「咔嚓」，擬聲詞，現代人通常認為是按下相機快門剎那的聲音，在文學上或漢語詞典中，卻是代表「物體斷裂的聲音」 。

滂沱大雨的時代，來自香港不同院校的一群大學生，希望通過加入《聯校誌》的編輯委員會，紀錄時代的真相。女主角阿因力求公義，本應與男主角阿熙一同追尋理想，卻不敵現實逼迫。面對社會、家庭、愛情、夢想與各種責任的拉扯，無法兩全其美的時代裡，她必須作出抉擇。當每人都身不由己，堅持是否代表忠於自己？妥協又是否等於背棄理想？

「咔嚓」聲響，幾位大學生把光景和美好留住了，還是讓理想和關係崩裂了？

《咔嚓》是以香港雨傘革命起為時代背景的劇本創作，一方面透過文學展現戲劇性及舞台呈現的多個可能性，另一方面藉由人物的對白及處境探討香港年青人面臨的矛盾及掙扎。《咔嚓》的主題不止政治，亦談及家庭倫理、社會公義、平權、貧窮等問題，希望在創作文學作品的同時反思自我，並喚起觀者對此等議題的關注。

遺物, Yong Shi Zhou

Dissertations from all years

他是個八十後，也是個典型的香港人，沒有夢想，沒有特別熟悉的朋友，和家人關係疏離，沒有談過一場深刻的戀愛，只對可賺錢的事有興趣。一直同居的未婚妻離開了，他的人生也自此改變了。

未婚妻的遺物開始說話，逐步逐步揭開她不為人知的過去。MP3、性感睡衣、學校作文、情侶戒指、超聲波片，每件物件都有屬於她的故事，他這一次終於真真正正愛上一個人，越是了解過去的她，越是迷戀她，最後甚至沉溺到不可自拔的地步……

讀他的日記，就像讀這一代年輕人的故事，在社會的籠牢中，我們失去了甚麼？又壓抑了甚麼？

歧路香港：論董啟章《地圖集》中的時間敘事策略, Yuk Heng Choi

Dissertations from all years

在香港當代文學書寫的發展中，董啟章開啟了一種別於同代作家的方法來敘說城市與歷史。本文旨在探悉董啟章小說中的時間敘事策略，思考作家如何借助時間書寫，表達出一種語言／城市的想像方式，而時間書寫又如何在哲學意涵、城市歷史、文化身份、以及其小說創作中體現出意義。第一部分先勾勒過去研究者對董啟章小說主題和敘事上的討論，並重新留意他前期作品如何以時間為敘事的重要元素，嘗試探索香港另一種身份認同的途徑。

第二部分剖析波赫士（Jorge Luis Borges）與卡爾維諾（Italo Calvino）的小說在時間敘事上的探討，前者開啟了「分枝時間」的小說時空概念，後者開拓了這種藝術時間並視之為城市隱喻，他們共同提供了讓我們去閱讀《地圖集》的另一種策略和面向。

第三部分詳細探討《地圖集》的其中四個篇章，前半部分連結起波赫士和卡爾維諾的小說時空觀，討論董啟章如何在香港語境下借虛構對地圖時間符號的論述，展現地圖／小說／城市的虛構性，以及它們與權力的互動關係；後半部分進一步提問董啟章這種「可能時間」的書寫意義，在於他要發展出一套新的語言系統，來挑戰固有的、官方或民間的香港敘述和書寫，以此開拓對歷史、城市以及文化身份的想像空間。

水族, Hiu Tung Chan

Dissertations from all years

是次指導論文為小說創作，名為《水族》。都巿裡的魚，終其一生都只能活在魚缸，無法回到大海，但魚缸有大有小，缸內景色也不盡相同。魚兒居住在哪一個缸，其一在於命運，其二在於選擇。只要轉換環境之於魚兒是非做不可的事，勇敢在水中躍起，離開當下的水域，就有脫困的可能。

故事關於主角陳啟軒養了一條企圖跳缸的花羅漢，從魚的掙扎之上看到自身的厄困，亦因為這一尾魚結織了金魚鋪老闆溫嘉裕。溫嘉裕的自由生活與自己的朝九晚十一成了極大的對比，亦從對方的斜杠生活得知工作並非只有一種可能，最後拾回選擇工作的決定權，不再被社會壓逼左右生活的形狀。

本文旨在透過短篇小說創作，藉陳啟軒一角點出香港當下「九十後」所面對的困難，以及脫困的其中一種可能性，提示「九十後」尚有選擇的權利，亦藉溫嘉裕一角，帶讀者進入水族行業與獨立音樂圈子這兩種在香港頗為邊緣的文化，記錄二零一八年的當下，此兩個行業的狀態及形象。最後亦藉二人曖昧而明朗的關係，為香港尚未真正正名的同志留下期昐。

[Introduction To] Language As Bodily Practice In Early China: A Chinese Grammatology, Jane Geaney

Bookshelf

Jane Geaney argues that early Chinese conceptions of speech and naming cannot be properly understood if viewed through the dominant Western philosophical tradition in which language is framed through dualisms that are based on hierarchies of speech and writing, such as reality/appearance and one/many. Instead, early Chinese texts repeatedly create pairings of sounds and various visible things. This aural/visual polarity suggests that texts from early China treat speech as a bodily practice that is not detachable from its use in everyday experience. Firmly grounded in ideas about bodies from the early texts themselves, Geaney’s interpretation offers new insights into three …

MPA/MPP/MPFM Capstone Projects

The Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea has been making efforts to improve water quality and the health of the aquatic ecosystems of the inland waters. Establishing water quality standards for point sources and permissible wastewater emission standards to achieve the target environmental standard were part of the efforts. Nevertheless, water quality indexes such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand(BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand(COD) has not improved significantly. Also, harmful cyanobacteria blooms have frequently been occurred, which, in particular, has brought people to lose faith in the environmental policy and has created anxiety about drinking water. As the solution, the …

X-Rated And Excessively Long: Ji-Amari In Hayashi Amari's Tanka, Jon P. Holt

World Languages and Literatures Faculty Publications and Presentations

As a fixed 31-syllable form of short poetry, Japan's tanka is one of the world's oldest forms of still-practiced poetry, with examples perhaps dating back to the fifth century. In the modern periods of Meiji (1868-1912) and Taishō (1912-1926), poets radically reformed the genre, expanding diction beyond millennium-old classical limits, thereby allowing poets to write not only about cherry blossoms and tragic love but also about things like steam trains and baseball games; although today many tanka poets in practicing circles still employ classical Japanese, many modern masters innovated the genre by skillfully blending in colloquial language. Like their modern …

Editor's Introduction by Melissa S. Dale

The editor reflects on this issue's new articles, which focus on climate change as it is being experienced across Asia, and the different local responses it has provoked.

Determinism And The Problem Of Individual Freedom In Li Zehou’S Thought, Andrew Lambert

Publications and Research

Li Zehou’s work can be understood as an account of a Chinese modernity, a vision for Chinese society that seeks to integrate three distinct philosophical approaches. These are Chinese history and culture, which Li understands as largely Confucian; Marxism, which has exerted such influence on a modernizing China; and Western learning more generally, as expressed by figures such as Immanuel Kant and Sigmund Freud. Li also frequently expresses the hope that a Chinese modernity will be one in which the importance of the individual is recognized, and rights and freedoms upheld (e.g., 2006, p. 182). But this stance raises an …

The Joss House As An Insight Into 19th Century Chinese Immigration, Joshua Bernhard

BYU Asian Studies Student Journal

“From the theater we went to the principal church or joss-house,” an anonymous author wrote about the San Francisco Chinatown for the Christian Recorder in September 1875. “Up three flights of stairs, rickety, worn, and uneven, and through the dark passages full of sickening odors, I reached a dismal, dreary, mysterious, and silent worship-house of this mysterious and superstitious people. Here and there in the temple a dim taper burned, but there were no lights in the halls, stairs, and passages, and the flickering flames only added to the oppressive and, if I may so call it ghostly feeling that …
