Chinese Native-Soil Literature: Occurrence And A Hundred Years Of Evolvement, Cece Wei
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Chinese "native-soil literature" has constantly been interacting with world literature due to its modern consciousness. Due to a deep spiritual connection with Chinese culture, society and history, it is the best entrance to perceiving the rich connotation in modern Chinese literature with regard to the issues of China and world, tradition and modernity. It is an excellent sample for studying modern and contemporary Chinese indigenous literature, which provides us with valuable experience about how to inherit and develop Chinese literature in the dimension of indigenousness, nation, and the world. It is also an effective dimension to explore contemporary "Chinese problems". …

Two Major Approaches Of The Interaction Between Literary Criticism And Historical Materials: A Data-Driven Analysis, Xiuming Wu, Tingting Shi
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Over the past seven decades, the research on contemporary Chinese literature has witnessed a significant change from literary criticism in the narrow sense to a criticism integrated with historiographical source investigation. This change has shown its influence in the field of literary criticism.

Baroque Irony In Contemporary French Fictions: A Case Study Of "Playful Fiction", Jia Zhao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The term Baroque irony is coined by Roland Barthes, which is considered to be representative in the so-called language turn. It represents the relationship between the signifieds within language rather than that between language and the outside world, and thus it questions language itself. The"Playful Fiction" demonstrate Baroque irony in terms of semantics, syntax, morphology and parody. Baroque irony is, the paper concludes, a kind of anti-metaphysical language that does not aim to convey fixed meanings but deconstructs them. It is an anti-rational language that brings readers to a world of texts where meanings coexist and interact. It is also …

Film Posters As An Alterative/Alternative Archive For Chinese Film History, Yingjin Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The film poster generates public desire for watching the film, but its pictorial cues often exceed its intended ideological or thematic message. The excess information contained in graphic composition, star texts, and visual citations (e.g., to current fashions and other intertexts) makes the film poster an alterative para-text in the sense that it sets in motion a dynamic of circulating multilayered meanings in a medium that resonates with other media and genres of art (e.g., drawing, painting, calligraphy, photography, design, literature, drama, opera, and music). Film posters are therefore enmeshed in intermediality or crossmediality and inevitably gesture toward something outside …

The Mind Of The Other, Political Organism, And The Dramatic Nature Of Ordinary Language: A Case Study Of Stanley Cavell's Comments On Coriolanus, Yunke Lin
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Stanly Cavell is the precursor to apply the philosophy of ordinary language, especially the thought of later Ludwig Wittgenstein, into analyzing literary and artistic works. Through detailed analysis of Wittgenstein's discussions on the issues of "the mind of the other" and "private language"s, Cavell claims that thinking in ordinary language is a seduction of the skepticism brought about by the myth of positivism. In his reading of Shakespeare's Coriolanus, Cavell expounds "appetite" as a metaphor of political organism, demonstrating how Wittgenstein's criticism is embodied in a dramatic way. The ontological mechanism of drama realized through explorations of ordinary language is …

William James's Philosophy Of Aesthetic Temporality: About The Relationship Between The Horizontal Composition Of Stream Of Consciousness And The Integrality Of The Spatial Composition Of Art Works, Yanshun Liu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
William James's grasp of the original practical activities underlies his aesthetic thought of pragmatism. He is well versed in describing and analyzing the aesthetic phenomena in the field where the subject and the object are not separated. On the one hand, he emphasizes the impromptu features of aesthetic behaviors driven by meaning-seeking, centering on the analysis of their fresh state, which is original, occasional while inevitable. On the other hand, he also creatively explores the horizontal features of the smooth and impromptu development of aesthetic life from the perspective of stream of consciousness or consciousness of time. He believes that …

Types And Subtypes Of Artistic Justice, Yun Wang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Because forms of performing arts and story-telling such as drama, fiction, and film present a caricature of social life, they inevitably describe people's good and evil deeds and their conflicts. In the world history of art over two thousand years,numerous works of drama, fiction, and film have done so from a position of correct or at least relatively correct morality. In this sense, artistic justice is an eternal theme for performing arts and story-telling,and the theory of artistic justice should have been well established. However, in the present-day, works on artistic justice are mostly published by scholars in the field …

Zheng He And The American Liberal Arts Education: Contexts And Complications, Marla Lunderberg

Zheng He was a eunuch of Moslem family heritage who held great authority early in the Ming Dynasty, primarily under the Yongle emperor (reign: 1402–24), as he led seven maritime expeditions, of which three reached the eastern coast of Africa. Of recent English language projects on Zheng He, Henry Tsai (1996) explores the context of the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty in defining Zheng He’s work, and Edward Dreyer (2007) and Timothy Brook (2010) portray Zheng He within the context of the Chinese tributary system. However, other images also hold power over the Western imagination: Louise Levathes (1994) portrays Zheng …

The Japanese ‘invasion’ of Texas appears to be in full swing,” reported a correspondent from the lower Rio Grande Valley (hereinafter, the Valley) on January 7, 1921. The writer drew this conclusion from the arrival a day earlier of two Japanese families who had been met at the train station in the South Texas town of Harlingen by a mob who warned the immigrants not to settle on the land that they had already purchased in the vicinity. The alleged invasion continued with the arrival of B. R. Kato, “another Japanese colonist from California, [who] reached Brownsville today.” As Kato …
