嵇康《聖賢高士傳贊》的「出世」和「入世」, Dong Yu Xie

Dissertations from all years

嵇康（223-262）是魏晉時期重要的思想家、文學家、音樂家，然其傳敘文《聖賢高士傳贊》未受重視。《聖賢高士傳贊》收錄的一百一十九位高士故事，多以前人記載為本，出處可考。嵇康思想中的「出世」、「入世」（或稱「儒道之辯」），研究者眾，然未有前人以《聖賢高士傳贊》切入。本文以文本互涉為研究方法，比較嵇康《聖賢高士傳贊》與前人記載之異同，以見「出世」及「入世」思想，補嵇康研究之缺。

其中，「出世」部分，本文以「神仙」之辯切入，以《聖賢高士傳贊》廣成子、子州支伯、善卷、石戶之農故事為文本依託；「入世」部分則擇「名利、禮教」切入，以《聖賢高士傳贊》狂接輿、王真、李邵公、壤父、井丹等故事為文本依託。此外，本文亦以嵇康的詩、文為佐證。

張玉娘及其詞研究, Wai Yu Tang

Dissertations from all years

誰說「女子無才便是德」，宋代女詞人李清照便以她的詩詞作出強而有力的反駁，成為中國文學史上佔有舉足輕重地位的女文學家。但是，還有很多有才華和才能的女子被淹沒在滾滾的文學洪流之中，其中，與李清照、朱淑貞、吳淑姬並稱「宋代四大女詞人」的張玉娘便是險被埋沒的明珠之一。

提到張玉娘，或者有人會想到孟稱舜傳奇劇本《張玉娘閨房三清鸚鵡墓貞文記》中的貞女，而這正是根據她的人生故事改編而成。張玉娘，字若瓊，自號一貞居士，松陽（今屬浙江麗水市）人，著有《蘭雪集》（又名《張大家蘭雪集》），留存詩117首，詞16首。然而，因為《蘭雪集》刊傳有限，故並不廣為人知。雖然張玉娘的作品鮮有人知，但她忠貞的愛情卻感動了劇作家孟稱舜，使他寫下傳奇劇本《張玉娘閨房三清鸚鵡墓貞文記》。

既然張玉娘能與李清照、朱淑貞、吳淑姬並稱「宋代四大女詞人」，可見她的詩詞值得我們傳誦研究。因此，本文擬以《蘭雪集》中16首詞作為研究範圍，試從其詞所見張玉娘之閨中生活、對四時之景的感悟、還有她的情愛和才學生命，以窺知其形象及其價值意義。

本文分為四章，第一章為全文導言。第二章簡要概述張玉娘的生平及《蘭雪集》的資料。第三章研究《蘭雪集》中十六首作品。依詞的內容及題材分為寫閨中生活、四時景色和情感生活三節分析。第四章是全文總結。

論顧城的詩歌意象 : 以泡沫、錢幣為例, Tsz Wa Ip

Dissertations from all years

朦朧詩的成功在於出色的意象運用，在學界中得到多方肯定。同一個物象落到不同詩人手上，被賦予不同的情緒，有不一樣的發揮。被冠以｢童話詩人｣美名的顧城對自然的觀察揣摩細緻，致力建構屬於自己內在純淨的世界。過程中，這個世界恰如公劉1980年首次對顧城作品作出的評價，呈現出｢幻想交織現實｣世界。

本文挑選兩個分別來自自然和來自城市社會的意象——泡沫和錢幣。首先通過文本細讀，深入分析兩個意象落到顧城手中會得到怎樣的發揮，達致增加作品張力和審美空間。繼而以顧城生平資料作為輔助，研究意象的運用如何使作品的呈現或呼應｢幻想交織現實｣的主題。再配合其他朦朧詩人如北島、舒婷、多多等人的作品進行比對，體現顧城在這些意象運用的特色。

目前學界對顧城的主體自我有不少研究，這點有助研究意象運用時，將作品中的我作更貼近其他本人的解讀。配合顧城在上述意象運用中的表現，與其他幾位詩人的表現作比較，呈現顧城在朦朧詩派中無可取替的獨特性。

狐女形象的三種昇華 : 論唐〈任氏傳〉、宋《青瑣高議‧小蓮記》和清《聊齋志異‧蓮香》, Lok Man Wong

Dissertations from all years

本論題為「狐女形象的三種昇華」，關鍵詞為「昇華」。弗洛伊德（Sigmund Freud）在《文明及其缺憾》（Civilization and Its Discontents）第三章界定了「昇華作用」（sublimation）：「本能的昇華發展是文化發展的極其引人注目的特點；由於它的存在，科學、藝術、思想意識等較高層次的心理活動才在文明生活中起着至關重要的作用。」5黃龍保等加以解釋：「人把因受阻而不能直接發洩出來的能量，轉移和昇華到有益於社會的活動中或文化性創造活動中；昇華作用既使個體心理得到正常而健康的發展，也使人類文明不斷朝着理想化方向發展，本能的昇華作用是人類文明的助進器。」6「昇華」的心理學釋義，能概括為「人類將負能量提升至正」的表現，即由變。「昇華有理想化、積極意 類將負能量提升至正」的表現，即由變。「昇華有理想化、積極意味，基本勾勒出三個狐女的 形態和性情 逐漸完善、去蕪存菁的正面階段。

本論文選取的三篇文本〈任氏傳〉、《青瑣高議‧小蓮記》和《聊齋志異‧蓮香》撰寫於不同時期，分別是唐代、宋代和清代，都是具代表性的狐文學作品。〈任氏傳〉的狐女任氏，在西市初遇並色誘鄭六，人狐相戀。任氏忠於愛情，力拒韋崟的強暴；勸鄭六買賣疵馬，讓他賺取財富；為陪伴愛人而冒險西行，最終不幸身亡。《青瑣高議‧小蓮記》的狐女小蓮，本為李郎中的女奴，能歌善舞；後來深得李郎中的寵愛，成為其妻。小蓮精通醫術，治療家人，維護家人的健康。《聊齋志異‧蓮香》的狐女蓮香，主動向桑生示愛，人狐交歡。蓮香悉心呵護被鬼女李氏所傷的桑生，為其採藥；又憐愛身世悲慘的李氏，願意與其共事一夫。蓮香為桑生誕下兒子後，放棄狐身，投胎為人，多年後與桑生、李氏重逢。

上述狐女，全心為情郎付出，不求回報，體現了多情堅貞、大度賢慧的人性美。當中狐女形象的正面刻畫，突破了傳統狐妖採補惑人、作祟嚇人的形象窠臼，可謂在狐文學中脫穎而出。更重要的是，順序對照這三個文本（唐〈任氏傳〉、宋《青瑣高議‧小蓮記》、清《聊齋志異‧蓮香》），承上啟下，可找出箇中狐女形象不斷進步的向上趨勢（並不代表唐、宋、清三代狐女形象的發展脈絡）：狐女先從妖化走向人性化，後達到理想女性的巔峰。這也顯示了三個文本的價值。

The Effect Of Neighborhood Size And Morphology In The Chinese Language, Long Nguyen

Honors Undergraduate Theses

The Neighborhood Size Effect (NSE), characterized as the effect in word determination based on changing one orthographic aspect of that word. The amount of words that can be created through such manipulation is called a neighborhood size (NS). Number of other factors such as frequency, how often a word appears and morphology, the combination of meaningful word units, have been suggested to have an overriding effect on NSE. In addition, there is a lack of research on NSE with non-alphabetical languages such as Chinese, which uses characters comprising of a multitude of semantic or phonetic markers. In this experiment, participants …

Determinants Of An Individual's Suicide Intention In South Korea, Nam Keun Choi

MPA/MPP/MPFM Capstone Projects

This study has examined a variety of variables that influence an individual’ s suicide intention, and analyzed the impact of these variables. The data are from the 2014 wave of the Korea Welfare Panel Survey (KoWePS). I analyze data on 13,687 out of 17,134 survey participants.

The dependent variable of my study is suicide intention such as suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The independent variables are classified into three categories: socio-demographic, psychological and mental health. Socio-demographic variables are gender, age, education, marital status, and income. Psychological variables are self-esteem, satisfaction with life, and religion. Mental health variables are depression, alcohol use, …

The Effect Of A Risk-Based Deposit Insurance Program In Korea, Youngil Oh

MPA/MPP/MPFM Capstone Projects

Countries introduce a deposit insurance system to prevent bank-run and stabilize the financial market by protecting depositors. However, deposit insurance with a flat-rate system induces the insured banks to take more risky activities, an example of moral hazard. To deal with this problem, the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation ('KDIC') adopted a Risk-Based Insurance Program ('RBIP ') for the Savings Banks ('SBs') on July 1, 2013, by charging a higher rate for the weak SB s and a lower rate for the healthy SBs. To mitigate the initial drastic impact on the SBs in an economic regression, the KDIC had reduced …

The Determinants Of Childbirth Grants Of Local Governments In South Korea, Gi-Jung Kim

MPA/MPP/MPFM Capstone Projects

Declining fertility is one of the top policy issues in South Korea. To increase the birth rate, the government of South Korea has been enacting several fertility encouragement polices. Although almost all of the birth encouragement policies have been led by the central government, a childbirth grant program was developed by primary local governments themselves. The grant levels vary significantly between local governments.

I examine what explains the differences in the childbirth grant level by analyzing twelve years (2004-2015) of panel data with a fixed-effects model. Prior studies indicate that the extent of demand for a policy and the availability …

流年, Leung Chau

同一片土地，兩個迴異的時代。兩個不同的故事，一個相同的結局。在這個城市裏，是時代呼應了我們，還是我們呼應了時代？反反覆覆，七百萬人過着一樣的人生。

流年似水，在這片土地上，每個人的「流年」都被關在同一個時空裏，大家不能掌控自己的命運。然而，這個封閉的小世界，卻是每個人心中追尋夢想的舞台。

夢起夢逝，最終都是南柯一夢，不能圓夢。

Daoism And Disability, Andrew Lambert

Publications and Research

Ideas found in the early Daoist texts can inform current debates about disability, since the latter often involve assumptions about personhood and agency that Daoist texts do not share. The two canonical texts of classical Daoism, the Daodejing and the Zhuangzi, do not explicitly discuss disability as an object of theory or offer a model of it. They do, however, provide conceptual resources that can enrich contemporary discussions of disability. Two particular ideas are discussed here. Classical Daoist thinking about the body undermines normative assumptions about it that attributions of ‘disabled’ often depend upon; and Daoism vividly problematises the …

Trauma, Migrant Families, And Neoliberal Fantasies In Last Train Home, Yanjie Wang

Asian and Asian American Studies Faculty Works

This paper examines the traumatic experience of migrant workers through a reading of Lixin Fan's award-winning documentary film Last Train Home(2009). I am not primarily concerned, like most trauma-studies-based research, with grand, clearly recognizable catastrophes. I also avoid generalizing about human suffering in the age of global capitalism. I focus rather on post-Socialist China's more hidden social violence and its traumatizing effect on the quotidian life of migrantworkers-a subaltern group on the periphery of society. I argue that the trauma of the marginalized population must be socially and politically contextualized. The first section of the essay investigates the traumatic sense …

Confucian Thought And Care Ethics: An Amicable Split?, Andrew Lambert

Publications and Research

Since Chenyang Li’s (1994) groundbreaking article there has been interest in reading early Confucian ethics through the lens of care ethics. In this paper, I examine the prospects for dialogue between the two in light of recent work in both fields.

I argue that, despite some similarities, early Confucian ethics is not best understood as a form of care ethics, of the kind articulated by Nel Noddings (1984, 2002) and others. Reasons include incongruence deriving from the absence in the Chinese texts of a developed account of need, and doubts about whether the parent-child relationship in Confucian thought is best …

周作人與五十年代香港散文, Cheuk Yin Tsang

Lingnan Theses

周作人是現代中文散文寫作範式的一大奠基者，亦是五四時期重要的文學理論家，不少學者早已指出周作人「開風氣之先」，是研究現代中國散文時不可迴避的散文大家。五十年代的周作人因政治上的原因，在中國只剩狹小的寫作與發表空間，香港因處於特殊位置，在戰時或戰後一直有能力容納不同立場的聲音並存，加上香港文化人的支持，成為周作人晚年發表作品的重要場域。

本論文嘗試以「周作人式散文」為切入點，提出一個討論五十年代香港散文的框架，找出周作人式散文在五十年代香港的發展方向，以曹聚仁和葉靈鳳為中心，研究香港散文作家對周作人風格的傳承與轉化。通過歸納整理現有的周作人研究，從周作人式散文的美學特色及周作人式散文中的知識份子視野兩大方向建立「周作人式散文」一詞的內涵。周作人重視散文中的博識和理智，展示因知識而來的距離和深度，追求文章的趣味、澀味和簡單味，並以「十字街頭的塔」為知識份子寫作立場，將散文作家的視角轉向日常生活中的美。他引介民俗學的觀點，表現對地方、博物、風土與山水之關懷，並在其散文中展示其廣闊的跨文化視野。

通過調研現存的五十年代報章、文學期刊與書刊等第一手資料，描畫五十年代香港散文的鳥瞰圖；並試圖找出當中周作人式散文在香港的最重要兩位書寫者：曹聚仁與葉靈鳳在五十年代當中的位置。論文並將集中討論此兩位香港作家，探索兩位作家如何承接與開展周作人式散文，書寫出現當代文學中獨特的香港散文面貌。在周作人研究領域下周作人晚年的寫作是一研究焦點；曹聚仁說服周氏寫作回憶錄，及後更在種種政治壓力下，促成了《知堂回想錄》的出版，曹亦影響了此部周氏晚年力作的寫作策略，兩者的互動是周作人研究領域中的重要一頁。

How And Why Has American Media Shifted The On-Screen Image Of Asian Americans From Stereotypical Roles To Lead Roles?, Sohail A. Syed

UROP Posters

Growing up as an Asian American, I never really had a role model of sort that I could relate to entirely. There were the general characters in movies that I looked up to but there was never that one character that I could possibly see myself as because there was never any lead characters that looked like me. Every time an Asian character was showed on-screen they were never a normal relatable person; they were always rather a living stereotype or unrealistic. Asians are always portrayed as intellectuals that are very awkward and geeky or one who has a very …

Small Things of Great Importance: Toy Advertising in China, 1910s-1930s by Valentina Boretti

From the turn of the twentieth century, playthings acquired a key role within the Chinese childrearing discourse as tools to train children, the prospective rescuers of China from its perceived decline. As a possibly unintended result, both children and toys acquired a marketing value: advertising employed them as icons to publicize a wide array of products. At the same time, the nascent toy industry “poached” the new discourse to brand its playthings as symbols of (made-in-China) educated progress, seeking to convince …

“If Apprehending Occurs, It Is Not The View” — Sakya Thinkers On The Madhyamaka View Of Freedom From Proliferations, Yaroslav Komarovski

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

The Sakya thinkers whose views were addressed in this paper are consistently in agreement regarding what freedom from proliferations is, how it is utilized in contemplative practice, and how it is located within the broader universe of non-tantric and tantric Buddhism. Freedom from proliferations is not an object, and transcends all categories of existence, nonexistence, etc. Consequently, it cannot be approached and described in the same way we understand and describe colors, tastes, ideas, etc. Yet, it is also not a nonexistent thing similar to rabbit horns and other types of falsely imagined phenomena. It can be realized, but only …

From The Three Natures To The Two Natures: On A Fluid Approach To The Two Versions Of Other-Emptiness From 15th Century Tibet, Yaroslav Komarovski

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

In recent years there has been a surge of scholarly interest in diverse systems of Buddhist thought and practice that Tibetan thinkers characterize as “other-emptiness” (gzhan stong), contrasting them with systems of “self-emptiness” (rang stong). While the theories of such exponents of other emptiness as Dölpopa Sherap Gyeltsen (dol po pa shes rab rgyal mtshan, 1292–1361)1 are relatively well known, those of other Tibetan thinkers are only beginning to receive scholarly attention. This paper addresses one such lesser-known other-emptiness theory that was developed by the seminal Tibetan thinker Serdok Penchen Shakya Chokden (gser …

Ethical Transformations In Yan's 陆犯焉识 (The Criminal Lu Yanshi), Weihong Zhu

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article "Ethical Transformations in Yan's陆犯焉识 (The Criminal Lu Yanshi)" Weihong Zhu uses ethical literary criticism to explain the reason for the change in attitude which the novel's hero undergoes. Zhu argues that in Geling Yan's novel the turning point lies in the protagonist's realization of his inner "animal" factor. Subjected to severe tests by the extreme circumstances in a northwest prison in China, this realization helps him transform from a proud man to a humble human being, so that he learns to love his family. Although set in a grand historical background of important political events, Yan's …
