The method used is GTAP model simulation with the base of GTAP9 and aggregated based on the case applied. The result shows that the tax implied makes the demand, import, and export decrease even for the country that implements it. However, the sale and welfare gained …

Comparative Development Of Indonesia And Nigeria In The First Two Decades Of Democracy: Divergence Or Convergence?, Adamu Waziri Babagana

Jurnal Ekonomi dan Studi Pembangunan

Indonesia and Nigeria are considered suitable candidates for comparative analysis because of their similarities in natural endowments and geographical attributes, demography, economic structure, sociocultural diversity, and political history. Indonesia began to achieve rapid growth in the 1980s while Nigeria did not. During that period, economic policies in the two countries diverged, and this led to sustained economic growth in Indonesia and prolonged economic decline in Nigeria. However, as the countries transitioned to democratic rule in 1999 following the collapse of authoritarian regimes, some aspects of their political and economic trajectories revealed a trend towards convergence. Using the descriptive comparison of …

Paul De Man's Criticism Of Lyric From The Perspective Of Modernity, Jinhong Zhang, Yuetong Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Since the twentieth century, lyric theory has undergone a resurgence in modern Western criticism. Viewing lyric through the lens of modernity, Paul de Man redefines its characteristics by navigating the paradox between historical and modern elements, and the dialectic between grammar and rhetoric. By deconstructing traditional academic perceptions of lyric in terms of the lyric subject, genres, and rhetorics, de Man presents lyric as an allegorical form of rhetoric that rejects a purely empirical subject, transcends temporal constraints, and eludes historical specificity. Although de Man's critical perspective has drawn skepticism, particularly concerning its apparent evasion of history, it nonetheless offers …

How Is The Hero Of Modern Life Possible?: Revisiting Charles Baudelaire's Thoughts On The Aestheticization Of Daily Life, Jianqing Tuo

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

It is generally acknowledged in academic circles that Charles Baudelaire, as a representative of aestheticism, advocated the idea of “art for art's sake”. Baudelaire's theory of correspondence inherits the concept of Universalpoesie from early German Romanticism, emphasizing the role of imagination. As the essence of poetry, imagination unifies all aspects of existence, including art and life. Baudelaire examined the dimension of time and space in modernity, regarded the dandy as the hero of modern life, and saw the artificial beauty of surprise as a symbol of modern life's meaning. In doing so, he embraced truth and goodness through beauty within …

The Manufactured Mainstream: The Emergence And Commercial Orientation Of Genre Fiction Mode In Chinese Internet Literature, Wei Sun, Huanjiang Qiao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The genre fiction mode represents the primary form of Chinese Internet literature at its current stage. Although this form embodies the collective labor of mass authors and readers in the Internet age, it is not a result of the autonomous production of Internet literature. Instead, it is deeply rooted in the history of literary commercialization propelled by publishing capitalism and serves as a new tool for capitalist expansion into the literary and cultural domains. From the early publication of physical books through forums and literary websites to the establishment of the “Qidian” model on literary websites, there is a continuous …

The Neurosis And The Split Between The French Symbolism And Decadentism, Guohui Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

French symbolism and decadentism were not one unified literary school, but two different schools that opposed each other. Decadentism focused on the depiction of pathological feelings represented by the neurosis, and the invention of delicate phrasing following with it. In the process of the formation of decadent school, the neurosis always occupied an important position; it was not only a paradigm of decadent feelings, but also a microcosm of decadent aesthetics. In order to get rid of the morally and aesthetically shameful impression of the neurosis, Jean Moréas advocated a new school which was called symbolism. Moréas and his symbolist …

Anti-Neo-Confucianism In The Ming And Qing Dynasties And The Birth Of Lu Xun's A Madman's Diary, Wei Sun

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The emergence of A Madman's Diary resulted from the full integration of reformative forces within traditional Chinese culture and the influences of modern Western culture. In particular, the tradition of anti-Neo-Confucianism during the Ming and Qing Dynasties provided a crucial internal impetus for the birth of a new culture. The rich and complex intellectual resources surrounding the figure of madman in the anti-Neo-Confucian thought contributed to the creation of modern madman. Despite the restrictive literary form imposed by Neo-Confucian orthodoxy, the diary became an important vehicle for the gentry to develop personal spiritual space and new modes of cognition. As …

The Conceptualization Of “Naturalism” In China In The 1920s: The Interaction Between Gerog Brandes, Hougetsu Shimamura And Mao Dun, Meng Luo

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In the 1920s, Chinese scholars, represented by Mao Dun, analyzed through reconstructive interpretation and extracted the referential value components via different routes of “naturalism”, ultimately shaping a more idealized literary model. This article examines a typical case of China's absorption of foreign literary concepts in the early twentieth century. Positioned retrospectively, Chinese scholars dynamically synthesized the theoretical resources and practical experiences of European and Japanese scholars, allowing the concept of naturalism to evolve and become a driving force for the development of local literary history. In conclusion, through the process of translation, citation, reference and restatement, the Chinese literary field …

The Literature Series Of The Tianma Bookstore And The Revolutionary Tradition Of New Literature, Jianzhou Fu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

As a peripheral organization of the League of Leftist Writers and a small private bookstore, the Tianma Bookstore made a significant contribution to the development of new literature by publishing various literary series, particularly left-wing works on literature and art during the Anticultural Encirclement Movement in the 1930s. The struggle for cultural hegemony was intense between the organic intellectuals of the emerging social class and the official intellectuals of the ruling class in civil society, as opposed to political society. As members of Tianma, Lu Xun, three editors and two bookstore managers were such organic intellectuals with a strong revolutionary …

Construction Of Masculinity And Gender Narratives In Ming And Qing Fiction, Chen Chen

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Gender traits result from the interweaving and co-construction of physiological attributes and social consciousness of gender groups. Masculinity, in particular, represents the transference, extension, or distorted expression of male traits. In the gender narratives of Ming and Qing fiction, there is an implicit intention to construct masculinity. In these works, real and fictional female figures serve as critical mediators for highlighting masculinity, while misogynistic tendencies manifest in various forms throughout the narratives. Fortitude and bravery are fundamental categories of masculinity, but in certain contexts, these traits are prone to transforming into violence, characterized by strong aggressiveness, which leads to moral …
