The Enigma Of Visibility: Merleau-Ponty's Philosophical Reflection On Painting In Eye And Mind, Yaojun Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Merleau-Ponty's Eye and Mind focuses on painting, but underlying the discussion in the book is the relationship between man and existence, as visuality is the sinew for the relationship. This paper proceeds from the discussion in Eye and Mind and investigates the basic characteristics of visuality before continues to analyze the reversible relationship between man and objects which the paper defines as the relationship between the visible and the invisible. The paper maintains that it is possible to approach existence by way of painting.

Theoretical Features Of Comments On Zhuangzi'S Prose In Qing Dynasty And Their Artistic Value, Bo Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The annotated commentaries on the prose in Zhuangzi's prose in the Qing Dynasty inherit and develop the traditional theory of literary criticism, and establish a discursive system of modern literary criticism. In particular, the interpretative studies on the narrative theory, appreciation and literary Dao have expanded the scope of Zhuangzi's aesthetics and have significant influence on theoretical development.

Trends Of Literary Theory In The Post-Theoretical Era: Towards Posthumanism, Ning Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In response to the pessimistic opinions in the circles of literary theory in the East and West, the paper holds that the passing of the golden era of literary and cultural theory does not mean the death of theory. In the present post-theoretical era, the function of theory is no longer forceful and ubiquitous as before, but rather it is to a certain extent restricted. The rise of the so-called posthumanist trend in the West in the past decade indicates that man in the present era is nothing but one of the species in nature, whose existence and development also …

"Post-New Period" And The Structural Position Of Everyday Life, Huanjiang Qiao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The "post-new period" is a concept which the academic circle in the early 1990s gave to Chinese literature. This name, the present paper argues, is a way of expressing a value expectation more than an actual description of literature at the time. In the imaginary discourse that concerns literature’s dominant status and its autonomy, the theorization of the post-new period is departed from the essential aspects of contemporary society culture, revealing its lack of historical awareness. If the literature practice after 1990s has shown some distinctive features different from the New Period literature, the reason may not the breakup in …

A Cultural Study Of Unrelated Homonym In Internet Language, Mofan Xu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Unrelated homonym is a common phenomenon of language use in contemporary internet, in which the newly created homonyms have no relevance to the meaning of the original words. Unrelated homonym is not a way of making neologism, but a special usage conditioned by cyber communication techniques and it has become a kind of normalized language play. There are two purposes in using unrelated homonyms: to attract readers' attention through signifier noise, and to achieve an ironic effect through conveying the intended original content in an arbitrary phonetic form. The target of the irony reflects the group psychology of the contemporary …

A Critique Of Derrida's Deconstructive Mode Of Thinking, Bing Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Despite of misunderstanding, deconstruction as a kind of way of thinking has inserted profound influence in the late 20th century. Derrida's undermining of the dualistic way of thinking may not be taken as an irrational destruction, but as a rigorously logical analysis. The heterogeneous way of thinking contains two important perspectives of time and otherness. Derrida's cross-disciplinary writing implicates a post-modern thought of dedifferentiation, which further complicates the boundaries between arts. However, the main limitation of Derrida's mode of thinking lies in its reductionist way of thought, in which language is reduced to super subject and the author's authority is …

Aesthetic Modernity Forms Of Contemporary Taiwanese Prose Theory, Jiangzhen Cai

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The prose theory has developed for more than half a century in Taiwan, with "modernity" as the principal axis. In the process of prose theory transformation, Yu Kwang-Chung's call for "cutting off the pigtail of prose" became a symbolic slogan with far-reaching influence, and his modernist approach of "poeticizing" prose established itself as the predominant principle. In the recent three decades, however, scholars shifted their research focus to the generic essence of prose, trying to define the generic style by deconstructing the style, while at the same time advocating the imagination and fictionality in prose which challenges the conventional concept …

Benjamin In Love: A Re-Interpretation OfMoscow Diary, Shicong Sun

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Benjamin's Moscow Diary records the complex relationship between the life and the thought, and it also penetrated with his self-projection. Neither is Benjamin in love a symbol of the "Benjamin industry" carnival, nor is the bodiless Benjamin a feminist metaphor for the aura of his thoughts. Asja Lacis, the protagonist in Moscow Diary, represents one immanent origin of philosophical critique of modernity in the era of overflowing total alienation and pseudo-experience. Individual's authentic experience has been viewed by Benjamin as the last resort to transcendence and redemption of modernity, and underlying Moscow Diary is Benjamin's philosophy of experience.

Clearing A Path To China: A Probe Into Hall And Ames' Methodology Of Sino-Western Cultural Comparison, Yunhua Liu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This paper focuses on the trilogy of comparative study of Sino-Western thought co-authored by David L. Hall and Roger T. Ames to make a critical survey of their methodology of cultural comparison. This paper regroups the barriers Hall and Ames find to be in urgent want of clearing and then it briefly describes and interprets the rationale behind the four groups. The paper proceeds to summarize the two scholars' neo-pragmatic concept of cultural comparison before analyzing the implications of their concept of determinants in culture and contextualized approach in relation to the two different frameworks of problematization in the two …

Continuation And Construction: On The Edition Study Of Contemporary Chinese Literature History And Its Limitation, Xiuming Wu, Tao Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The study on the editions of contemporary Chinese literary history has profound significance for the compilation of literary history, academic studies of literature, and disciplinary construction as well as scholastic development. The call for "re-writing literary history" in the late 1980s in response to the paradigm shift in literary history writing is taken as the dividing line of two periods, and the paper proceeds to compare the different editions and examine the limitations in the revisions in the two periods. The paper points out that the shift from the political to aesthetic or cultural perspective is a significant breakthrough in …

Environmental Civility: Culture, Education, Enlightenment, And Wisdom, Sepänmaa Yrjö

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Culture and civility, enlightenment and wisdom all relate to the environment, and the environment relates to them. Environmental civility is a conscious and emotional skill or readiness, which permits a basically positive attitude and way of acting. Civility and wisdom are close to each other and nearly synonyms. Knowledge is the foundation, but it needs the partnership of an attitude that maintains and refines life. Civility is value-positive, but as such also critical. It means proper respect and appreciation of well-done work, and always seeking something better. Eco-humanism emphasizes the positive value of humankind and human work, positive footprints: we …

History And Nationalism In Images: A Review Of The MovieBack To 1942, Guo Feng, Ao Tian

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The paper examines Feng Xiaogang's movie Back to 1942 from the perspective of history and nationalism, claiming that it has remarkable merits in exhibiting history and revealing the nationalism through images. The theories informed the analysis of the film script and audio-visual language of the movie include the new historicist "plebeian history," the cultural memory related to cultural theorists like Aleida Assmann, and Northrop Frye's "archetype theory." The paper concludes that the movie Back to 1942 challenges the traditional concept of historical narrative and enforces a retrospect of national historical memory. The story in the movie is not only a …

Modernity, The Avant-Garde And Mass Culture: A Reflection Inspired By Walter Benjamin, Yong Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Walter Benjamin's meditation on modernity is the most significant in his theory, and his concept of aura apparently illuminates the transformation from traditional art toward modern one but essentially reveals the characteristics of popular culture as integration and formularization. His interpretation of the tragic drama, Baudelaire, Kafka, and Proust further exposes the nature of the avant-garde as a form going beyond the content. This illumination depicts two cultural patterns of modernity: discontent with reality that leads to injection of rationality into reality, and identification with reality that leads to acknowledge the random meaning from reality. These two patterns comprise the …
