The Political Ethics Of Aestheticism: “Beauty” And “Virtue” In Wang Guowei’S Early Poetics And Thoughts, Haowei Jiang Aug 2022

The Political Ethics Of Aestheticism: “Beauty” And “Virtue” In Wang Guowei’S Early Poetics And Thoughts, Haowei Jiang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Wang Guowei's early translation and application of western aesthetic and moral conceptualizations by such philosophers as Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schiller, and Arthur Schopenhauer were characterized by his subjective preferences. These preferences are mainly represented in his strong care for the morality of the lower class, his suspension of the concept of God in western ethics, his political moralization of the subject’s practical rationality, and his hierarchization of morality and intellectual character. In Wang Guowei's non-utilitarian and non-political aestheticism, there is a latent admiration and enthusiasm for traditional Chinese political morality. This differs fundamentally from Schiller’s idea about aesthetic enlightenment, and …

Wang Pijiang’S Newly-Discovered Book Poetic Remarks From The Xiaoshemo Studio And Its Value To Poetic History, Tingting Yang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The newly discovered Poetic Remarks from the Xiaoshemo Studio written by Wang Pijiang, originally published in 1915, may be his earliest work on poetics. It not only provides clues to distinguish the errors in Wang’s poems and writing, but also discusses important propositions such as the periodization of poetry history and the geographical division of poetry genres, reflecting that several major concepts of modern poetics research have taken shape in Wang’s youth. Also collected in this book are his poems presented to Chen Sanli, and these poems are a complete group of the poems in another of his books Remarks …

An Analysis Of The Language Contact Of The Late-Qing Diplomats And Its Historical Construction: With Reference To Huang Zunxian’S View Of “Unity Of Speech And Writing”, Wei Deng Aug 2022

An Analysis Of The Language Contact Of The Late-Qing Diplomats And Its Historical Construction: With Reference To Huang Zunxian’S View Of “Unity Of Speech And Writing”, Wei Deng

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The exposure to foreign languages prompted Chinese diplomats of the late Qing Dynasty to reflect over China's spoken and writing systems in general, resulting in the initiative for the modernizing reform of Chinese language and writing system which developed into the later far-reaching proposition of “unification of spoken and written language.” However, in the beginning, the conceptualization of the unification appeared to be heterogenously “chaotic.” When Huang Zunxian came to the scene, he helped to transform the cultural psychology of scholar bureaucrats by reconceptualizing the idea of “unification of speech and writing” from the perspective of the modern nation-state. As …

From Symbolizational Intentionality To The Philosophical Dimension Of Art Semiotics: A Reinvestigation Of Forgery Issues From The Perspective Of Inductive Cognition, Jing An Aug 2022

From Symbolizational Intentionality To The Philosophical Dimension Of Art Semiotics: A Reinvestigation Of Forgery Issues From The Perspective Of Inductive Cognition, Jing An

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Art forgery is generally discussed from such perspectives as its aesthetic value, artistic value, and artistic system, but little attention has been paid to the cognitive value of forgery. The cognition of fakes involves “confusing the real with the fake” and “replacing the real with the fake”, which is relevant to the cognitive probability problem of inductive logic. The cognition of forgery is connected to the inductive paradox proposed by Nelson Goodman. Whether it is “confusing the real with the fake” or “replacing the real with the fake,” our cognitive process of forgery engages a “symbolizational intentionality” process, that is, …

The Three Faces Of Donald Davidson’S Pragmatic Literary Theory, Qiao Zhang Aug 2022

The Three Faces Of Donald Davidson’S Pragmatic Literary Theory, Qiao Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Donald Davidson is mainly interpreted as a pragmatist by the neo-pragmatists. However, Davidson’s pragmatism is more complex regarding its application in literary theory, which presents him through three faces: the neo-pragmatist Davidson, the intentionalist Davidson, and the radical interpreter Davidson. Davidson’s theory of irregular language becomes the basis of the neo-pragmatists’ philosophy of language as a defense of the original status of unfamiliar languages, such as literary language, in linguistic communication. However, there is a conflict between Davidson’s intentionalism and the pluralist hermeneutic of neo-pragmatists. The former accuses the latter of violating Davidson’s long-held anti-conventionalism principle and pleads for a …

Edmund Husserl And Immanuel Kant Under The Postmodern Condition: Jean-François Lyotard’S Theory Of Aesthetic Reflection, Xiaoyuan Ma Aug 2022

Edmund Husserl And Immanuel Kant Under The Postmodern Condition: Jean-François Lyotard’S Theory Of Aesthetic Reflection, Xiaoyuan Ma

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Edmund Husserl inherits Immanuel Kant’s transcendental philosophy, criticizing psychologism and putting forward a method of phenomenological reflection based on the critique of knowledge. This method is utilized by Lyotard to decipher Kant’s aesthetic reflection, in order to criticize modern grand narratives. From the perspective of phenomenology, aesthetic reflection is in the first place heuristic transcendental reflection, which secures the foundation of perception in the process of cognition and limits the effective scale of cognitive faculties. Therefore, the transcendental knowledge is eliminated. Furthermore, aesthetic reflection, a type of aesthetic feeling that constitutes the power of reflective judgement, is tautegorical. It therefore …

Dromocracy And The Evolution Of Space-Time: On Paul Virilio’S Theory Of Space Of Logistics, Shiqi Wu Aug 2022

Dromocracy And The Evolution Of Space-Time: On Paul Virilio’S Theory Of Space Of Logistics, Shiqi Wu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In his Speed and Politics French left-wing theorist Paul Virilio proposes the concept of dromocracy, which, as a result of war, has deeply changed the geomorphology and people’s sense of time-space in history. Virilio suggests that military logistics as a method of deploying space, which underwent the stage of visual mediation in the Second World War, connects to both the traditional space of topology and the human body in the post-human context, hence becoming an effective logic for power operations. On the one hand, the military topology has a dominating effect on people’s living space and has deeply changed people’s …

Hermeneutics Of Language, Truth And New Pragmatism: Richard Rorty’S Interpretation Of Donald Davidson, Yonghua Tang Aug 2022

Hermeneutics Of Language, Truth And New Pragmatism: Richard Rorty’S Interpretation Of Donald Davidson, Yonghua Tang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Richard Rorty is identified as a pragmatist philosopher in the genealogy of American hermeneutics, but a profound understanding of his thesis, concept and argumentation logic is to be achieved in relation to analytical philosophy. The long-term dialogue between Rorty and Donald Davidson not only connects with the various concerns of hermeneutics, but also opens up the philosophical space and literary space with characteristic British and American theoretical styles, which provides an important clue for us to examine the transformation of Rorty’s intellectual focus from analytical philosophy to neo-pragmatism as well as the value of this transformation to literary theory.

Anti-Reductionism: On Paul Crowther’S Post-Analytic Phenomenological Aesthetics And Its New Possibilities, Mu Li Aug 2022

Anti-Reductionism: On Paul Crowther’S Post-Analytic Phenomenological Aesthetics And Its New Possibilities, Mu Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In the context of reductionist approaches to art studies, Paul Crowther’s formalist aesthetics presents itself as a unique post-analytic phenomenological framework and methodology, by way of Kantian thoughts on ideas on the sublime, and by incorporating analytic philosophy and phenomenology into its approach to art studies. Within this framework, Crowther reflects and explores the significance of art, providing a new way to understand and interpret modern and postmodern artistic practices such as abstract art, conceptual art, and digital art. In addition, with the refreshed understanding of the significance of art, Crowther proves that his post-analytic phenomenology may also be applied …

From “Knowable Children” To “Elusive Childhood”: Children’S Issues And The Development Of Contemporary Western Theory And Criticism Of Children’S Literature, Xia Zhao Aug 2022

From “Knowable Children” To “Elusive Childhood”: Children’S Issues And The Development Of Contemporary Western Theory And Criticism Of Children’S Literature, Xia Zhao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Children’s issues are a lens to glimpse the development of contemporary Western theory and criticism of children’s literature, which has experienced significant development through revolution of their perception of children since the 1930s. In the West, while the idea about “knowable children” offered a basis for the theory and criticism of children’s literature before the 1970s, the discussions and reflections on “unknowable children” and “impossible children’s literature” from the 1970s onwards brought about great innovations in concept and methodology. From “knowable children” to “elusive childhood”, “children” not only provide important theoretical and methodological resources for the research on Western children’s …

Foreign Language Writing Of Overseas Chinese And The “Re-Writing” Of The History Of Modern Chinese Literature, Leiming Chi Aug 2022

Foreign Language Writing Of Overseas Chinese And The “Re-Writing” Of The History Of Modern Chinese Literature, Leiming Chi

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

As Chinese culture is going global and Chinese literature is spreading overseas, the history of modern Chinese literature should reconsider the national identity of languages. In other words, foreign language writing by overseas Chinese needs to be included while studying the history of modern Chinese literature. The historical and practical significance of “gradual introduction of Chinese learning into the West” that these literary works have needs to be thoroughly reviewed. Based on such a premise, “global” China is China that “spreads” globally. In view of the current times as well as the future, the “re-rewriting” of literary history from the …

“Personal Accounts” And Realism In The Discourses Of Fiction Criticism In The Early Republic Of China, Zipeng Luo Aug 2022

“Personal Accounts” And Realism In The Discourses Of Fiction Criticism In The Early Republic Of China, Zipeng Luo

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The prosperity of the exposé novels since the late Qing Dynasty triggered heated critical debate over the realistic features of these novels around the May Fourth Movement. Critics such as Feng Xi employed the term “personal account” in place of realism to categorize these novels, which, on the one hand, attached great importance to the realistic features of novel and, on the other hand, suggested that novels in the form of personal accounts with the author as the protagonist were not realistic enough. Following Feng Xi, Wu Mi and other critics also pointed out weaknesses of those realistic works, while …

A Study Of Pictorial Representation Under The Impact Of Direct Perception Theory, Manting Yin Aug 2022

A Study Of Pictorial Representation Under The Impact Of Direct Perception Theory, Manting Yin

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Viewed with a reference to the trend of modern perceptual psychology, philosophy and art theory, a specific interpretation paradigm of visual perception often echoes the established interpretation model of visual studies of its time. The direct perception theory represented by James J. Gibson is a noteworthy contemporary theory. This article discusses Gibson’s three core viewpoints, and advocates to rediscover and think about three issues in picture perception. First, what is the difference in the visual experience of two-dimensional picture versus that of three-dimensional space? What are their relationships? Second, how could we obtain a new visual schema, especially an initial …

A Historical Critique On The Debate Between “Poem Expressing Aspirations” And “Writings Conveying Ethics” In Zhou Zuoren’S Concept Of Prose, Xuan Zhuang Aug 2022

A Historical Critique On The Debate Between “Poem Expressing Aspirations” And “Writings Conveying Ethics” In Zhou Zuoren’S Concept Of Prose, Xuan Zhuang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

“Poetry as the expression of aspirations” and “writing as a vehicle for Tao,” and these two ideas, later referred to be “aspiration-expression school” and “Tao-conveying school,” become a pair of two keywords in Zhou Zuoren’s literary criticism. However, this pair of critical terms has provoked persistent controversies. This paper is a critical review of the generation and evolution of Zhou Zuoren’s two critical keywords. It discusses how his theory is interpreted and revised by critics, and it attempts to put critics’ views of Zhou’s theorization into the historical perspective by contextualizing them into the reductionist historical specificities. It paper reevaluates …

The Fallacy And Verification Of Criticism On Contemporary Chinese Confessional Poetry, Lei Wei Aug 2022

The Fallacy And Verification Of Criticism On Contemporary Chinese Confessional Poetry, Lei Wei

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Contemporary Chinese confessional poetry has engaged much academic attention despite its short existence between the 1980s and the 1990s. The confessional poetry has been related with female poetry by scholars since the beginning, and they have been criticized for lacking Chinese cultural characteristics, skills or aesthetic values etc.. However, contemporary Chinese confessional poetry is not exclusively the product of female poets, as there are quite a few male poets who created some fine confessional poems. Chinese confessional poetry of new period turned out to be embodied with a literary form of strong nationalistic features and contain rich elements of traditional …

The Writing Of Art History: From Classics To Living History, Xiaokang Gao Aug 2022

The Writing Of Art History: From Classics To Living History, Xiaokang Gao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The study of art history is closely related to historical research in both China and the West. Early research on art history in Western and Chinese history is based on classical art and its development, generated by the mainstream cultural tradition. Since Johann Gottfried von Herder advocated folk literature and art in the eighteenth century, the writing of art history has broken through the classical view of art history through the discovery of the value of folk art, which bridges the gap between the two cultural memories of the “great tradition” and the “little tradition” to form a new art …

Symbolic Structure And The Reconstruction Of Sensation, Ma Dakang, Wang Zhengzhong Aug 2022

Symbolic Structure And The Reconstruction Of Sensation, Ma Dakang, Wang Zhengzhong

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

All symbols are constructed through speech act and behavior language, and can ultimately be interpreted by their interplay. A deep understanding of three different systems of symbols, namely, speech act, behavior language, and other symbols, leads to a reasonable explanation of literature and art. Changes in symbolic conventions are the direct cause of evolutions in literary and artistic styles. When the changes involve the concept and the system of literature and art, that is, involving changes in the paradigm of speech acts behind symbols and lead to the reconfiguration of the tension between speech acts and behavior language, they would …

Influence Of Time-Dependent Corrosion On Strength And Ductility Of Reinforcing Steel Bars Exposed To Natural And Aggressive Environments, Ghafur H. Ahmed

Polytechnic Journal

The reinforcement corrosion in is a major and most frequent reason of degradation for reinforced-concrete (RC) structures throughout the world, leading to their premature deterioration before design life was attained. Corrosion weakens the mechanical properties of rebar by ingress of aggressive ions due to various environments. In this study, a total of 99 specimens with six different diameters were tested, for three exposure periods, and six different environments, to assess the influence of corrosion on mechanical properties of reinforcing bars. Degradation relationships of strength and ductility with exposure period and rebar diameter, were analyzed, and three equations were proposed to …

An Analysis Of Decolonization Efforts In Urban Agriculture: A Pathway To Indigenous Food Sovereignty And Cultural Revitalization, Sarah Fisher Aug 2022

An Analysis Of Decolonization Efforts In Urban Agriculture: A Pathway To Indigenous Food Sovereignty And Cultural Revitalization, Sarah Fisher

Environment and Sustainability Summer Fellows

My research focuses on applications of urban agriculture, relationships between Indigenous peoples and community-based agriculture projects, and decolonizing food systems. I provide insight on colonialist tendencies, or ways in which the marginalization of Indigenous peoples is deeply entrenched within government, educational, and other leadership settings, as a way to evaluate and restructure urban agriculture projects to serve, represent and heal Native communities. Conventional urban agriculture has many known benefits, including its capacity for food production; however, the extent to which Indigenous communities participate in and benefit from urban agriculture has not been widely studied. Ongoing exclusion of Indigenous peoples from …
