《燕轅直指》的清朝觀, Hong Cao

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

朝鮮士人金景善出使清朝的時間是道光十二年(1832),他將此次入燕經歷撰成《燕轅直指》一書，是燕行録文獻中的一部佳善之作。他充分發揮這種紀行體裁在清朝認識上的功能，所顯現的對清觀察有其較爲深刻的歷史感與時代感。他咨訪和記録的清朝，雖參考融合了前輩燕行使者的見聞，但更直觀地反映了19世紀頭數十年政情民生相沿而來的社會諸相，值得與清朝中期史研究視野相參證。

《朴通事諺解》及其所引《西遊記》新探, Jianguo Pan

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

在《西遊記》成書史研究中，研究者經常使用到朝鮮漢語會話書《朴通事諺解》所引資料，但是，對於該文獻的年代層次缺少必要的考證,並往往將其正文和注文所引《西遊記》混爲一書不加區分。本文利用中韓漢語史研究成果，論定《朴通事諺解》正文雖經詞彙和語法層面的修訂，然其所引《西遊記》仍可視作元代文本予以採信；其注文則源自朝鮮中宗十二年(明正德十 二年，1517)左右成書的《老朴集覽》，注文所引《西遊記》並非元代文本，而是一部明代早期的 “舊本”。論文進而分别對元本和舊本《西遊記》的文貌，進行了初步的探考，揭示它們與百回本之間的學術關係，指出百回本《西遊記》雖建立在一個相當成熟的舊本基礎上，但即便是對於相同的故事情節，它也作出了更爲細緻豐富和更具文學性的删改增飾，因此，並不能據此而質疑甚至否定百回本《西遊記》編訂者的藝術貢獻。

前言, Chunhong Wang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

2015年春，嶺南大學召開以“明清文學與文論”爲主題的國際研討會，與會者均屬學界資深專家，他們所發表的論文代表著古典文學研究的前沿態勢，具有較高的學術價值。《嶺南學報》編委會經討論，決定以專輯形式，刊登此次會議成果，以與海内外同道切磋分享。

本輯《嶺南學報》之編輯，大致根據會議之主旨，即“小説、戲曲及文化”以及“明清詩學、詞學及文化”，這樣兩個板塊來安排，既凸顯縱向的歷史脈絡，也呈現横向的域内與域外的聯繫。

論說"戲曲資料"之五種類型, Yung-Yi Tseng

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

治戲曲之艱難，不下於治經史。就其學程而言，經 史已逾兩千年，可資憑藉者甚富；戲曲不過百年，苑囿新開，花果未蕃。就其資料而言，經史基本上爲文獻，兼及考古文物；戲曲則文獻、文物之外，亦應顧及訪查與觀賞。觀賞用於對現存戲曲劇種表演藝術的評論，訪查用於對現存戲曲劇種及其表演者情況的認知，考古則通過文物了解古代戲曲，文獻則從記載中探索古代戲曲。可見研究戲曲，文獻、文物、調查、訪問、觀賞五種資料缺一不可。

明代 "古詩" 總集的編纂、出版、接受 : 從宏觀角度的考察, Jing Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

近年來，明清時期“古詩”總集的編撰與出版逐漸得到學界注意。多數研究以出版業的興起爲時代背景，檢析一部或幾部重要選本的内容及其所體現的文學觀點。這些考證及研究則爲本文的分析提供了可能與基礎。本文嘗試另闢蹊徑，以副文本(paratext)的閲讀爲中心，兼及文本，從宏觀層面勾勒有明一代“古詩”總集的編撰與出版，以及這類書籍可能的流通與接受之宏觀趨勢。第一部分以筆者檢索書目所累計的條目爲基礎，對先唐詩文集在明代的編纂出版進行量化分析，從而進一步確認明代是先唐詩文集產生的高峰；随後三個部分各以不同的 副文本(paratext)要素爲討論中心：首先，以書名爲中心，對書名加以分組語義詞頻考察，探尋先唐詩類總集的命名策略與所呈現的編纂趨勢；其次，以序言爲中心，管窥總集編纂動機的變化； 然後，以書目爲中心，討論明代這類書的價格、目標讀者、閲讀體驗等。最後，本文將明代古詩總集的產生與發展分爲三個階段， 進而總結出明代古詩總集的編纂、出版、流通在不同時期的特點。

Crossing Boundaries: The Transnational Third Space Of Contemporary Chinese-Francophone Writers, Paula S. Delbonis-Platt

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Over the past two decades, a group of Chinese writers who pen their works in French, their adopted language, have garnered prizes in France and received international acclaim. The transnational voices of these writers have drawn attention to Chinese history, literature, and human-rights issues, as well as to their own diverse intersections with French culture. The four Francophone-Chinese writers studied—François Cheng (b. 1929), Gao Xingjian (b. 1940), Dai Sijie (b. 1954), and Shan Sa (b. 1972)—constitute themselves as subjects at least partially through their Chinese birth and French citizenship or residency and through the production of literary works that range …

Evolving Patterns: Conflicting Perceptions Of Cultural Preservation And The State Of Batik’S Cultural Inheritance Among Women Artisans In Guizhou, China, Katherine B. Uram

Lawrence University Honors Projects

My exploration features Miao batik-making in Guizhou Province and explores several sets of overlapping questions. The first set focuses on the status of the craft of Miao batik-making and the perceptions of its future. Is batik-making a dying art form? To what extent is Batik-making a thriving cultural practice today, or do Miao in China (and other ethnic groups involved in batik-making) perceive an inheritance crisis? My next focus is on the role of institutions and the tourism industry. If taught less and less in the domestic sphere (traditions passed from mother to daughter), what role do public domains such …

The Price Of Cosmopolitanism: Globalization, Class Structure, And Language Endangerment In Shanghai, Fang Xu

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Over the last two decades, Shanghai has experienced an unprecedented transformation, as China’s economic globalization and urban expansion have increased rapidly. Looking beyond statistics and architectural spectacles, I examine a seemingly personal choice in Shanghai, speaking Putonghua Mandarin, the official language, or the Shanghai dialect. This study contextualizes the contested urban linguistic space, and illustrates the political, social, and cultural conditions in this China’s globalizing city.

Through archival research, fifty in-depth interviews, two hundred and fifty survey questionnaires, and ethnographic fieldwork in Shanghai in the fall and winter of 2013, I document the impact of three sets of state policies …

Peasant Revolts As Anti-Authoritarian Archetypes For Radical Buddhism In Modern Japan, James Mark Shields

Faculty Journal Articles

The late Meiji period (1868-1912) witnessed the birth of various forms of “progressive” and “radical” Buddhism both within and beyond traditional Japanese Buddhist institutions. This paper examines several historical precedents for “Buddhist revolution” in East Asian—and particularly Japanese—peasant rebellions of the early modern period. I argue that these rebellions, or at least the received narratives of such, provided significant “root paradigms” for the thought and practice of early Buddhist socialists and radical Buddhists of early twentieth century Japan. Even if these narratives ended in “failure”—as, indeed, they often did—they can be understood as examples of what James White calls “expressionistic …

Drawing on her remarkable linguistic skills in both Korean and …

The Inheritance Of Misty Poetry's Tradition And The Crisis Of New Poetry, Guoyuan Xu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The paper aims to analyze how the Misty Poetry inherited Chinese poetry tradition and how the inheritance resulted in the spiritual crisis and the entailing crisis of Chinese contemporary poetry. The Misty Poetry tries to conceal its inheritance of Chinese modern poetry with an explicit anti-traditional gesture, but due to the unbridgeable gap between the poets' self and the cultural and historical tradition, the Misty poets could not but fall into the deep trap of nihilism. The essential influence on the Misty Poetry has been the early Western modernism, especially the Symbolism, and the Misty Poetry could hardly be said …

The Influence Of Shangqing Taoist Sect's Meditation Method On The Pre-Song-Dynasty Fictions, Qingchuan Wan

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Shangqing Taoist Sect's meditation method of "thought-holding" was similar to literary imagination in that it was characterized by a pictorial thinking, and this method inserted deep influence on the Taoist fiction writing in the pre-Song Dynasty. Some authors writing about immortal beings sat in meditation in front of the portraiture and wrote their novels, and some authors wrote out of their mystic illusions resulted from long and intensive meditation, and some authors wrote out of supernatural inspirations. The descriptions about the geography, plants, the clothes and pageants of the immortals reflected the influence from the Taoist portraiture and the process …

The Principles And Significance Of A Research Paradigm For Deep Integration And Transformation In Liberal Arts And Humanities Studies, Lili Liu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The paper proposes a research paradigm for the deep integration and transformation in the liberal arts and humanities. It takes as its cases the three categories of literary canons, story and methodology and their deep integration and transition. Through case studies, the paper concludes that the new issue emerged from the deep integration and transformation presents a better approach to deepen the research because a new issue raised for any category in the liberal arts and humanities implies an internal mechanism which requires for deep integration and transformation of issues so as to find a new approach and logic to …

The Two Worlds And The Tragic Sense In Chen Yinque's Poetics, Jingru Pan

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Chen Yinque was also a prolific poet, and his poems were full of metaphor and innuendo. Chen's poetry can be traced in spirit and culture back to his father Chen Sanli's influence, and also allows the reader to have a glimpse of his melancholic nature. These two strands of influence contribute to the two distinct worlds of images in his poetry, one pointing to the impermanent yet everlasting realistic world, and the other pointing to the other side of this world. The former world is composed of flowers and people and human affairs, while the latter is composed of the …

On The Literary Ideas Of The Yangming School, Qingtao Xue

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The literary idea of the Yangming School is grounded in their concept of "conscience," which differs in part from Cheng-Zhu school. In terms of relationship between the literature and Confucian ideas, Yangming School's belief is that literary reation may not be necessarily in conflict with those idleas, which is against Chengzhu School's claim of "literalure does harm to Confucian ideas," and Yaming Schol's argument helps to relieve the intense relationship between literature and Cunfucianism. Inlerms of literariness, Yangming School advocates sincerity in expression instead of indulgence in the art of rhetoric. In terms of literary creation, it opposes the simulation …

The Cultural Nature Of Material Objects And The Return Route Of Material Culture, Liang Xu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Material object is a sign which exists in the system of meaning discrimination and expression, and it is a concept in culture. Material objects in consumer society show the features of a system that is dominated by cultural ideas with the human sense of orientation. The development of material culture in consumer society necessitates the insatiable pursuit of material objects, because the prospect of material objects comprises the man-material relationship in consumer society and the foothold of consumer society falls on material. As the pursuit is based on the substantiality of material and it tries to avoid the certainty of …

The Cultural Political Significance Of Form: On The Musical Practices Of The New Worker's Art Troupe, Chunlin Guo

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The paper examines the musical practice of the New Worker's Art Troupe from the perspective of cultural study, and focuses on the cultural political significance of forms in their practice. As a new kind of organization, the New Worker's Art Troupe purposely keeps a defiant posture to distance itself from cultural industry. They showcase many popular music works to the grass roots free of charge and their music works are usually imbued with keen sense of reality, adopting folk song's melodies and singing in dialects, and the paper observes that their musical practice is realizing the concept of "people's literature …
