Boundaries And Possibilities Of Humanistic Higher Education In The Late Holy Roman Empire, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

English original of a conference paper whose purpose is not to say much significantly new about "graduates of European artistic faculties" 16-18 Centuries, but to point out boundaries of meaning about what scholars do discover. Perhaps by deconstructing and analyzing such heuristic categories of "professional studies", "units of socialization" and the "certification of knowledge" we can gain new insights into the great transformation that universities were beginning to undergo already in the last centuries of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Legal Issues In Shakespeare's The Merchant Of Venice And Jonson's Volpone, Felicia A. Matthew-Stubbs

Theses : Honours

The aim of this thesis is to explore the legal issues within William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, and Ben Jonson's Volpone. I will attempt to discover the extent to which both plays can be seen as indicative of English jurisprudence applicable to Early Modern England. I shall commence by investigating The Merchant of Venice through outlining the process of signing and sealing a contract, defining the roles of The Court of Chancery and The Court of Common Law and relating the judgements made by Portia and the Court to statutes, precedents and procedures applicable to the sixteenth and seventeenth …

The Sacrifice Of Les Murray, Jill Reading

Theses : Honours

Les Murray's vivid and evocative poetry has made him a major Australian literary figure. Critics routinely note the sophisticated, often highly wrought nature of Murray's poetic language and acclaim his technical virtuosity, including gifts for pun, paradox, aphorism, idiom and metaphor. The themes of both Murray's poetry and his non-fiction prose often revolve around the divisions he sees in Australia between cultures, between society and people, and within individuals themselves. Despite his efforts to bring healing to these schisms, however, the poet is criticised for his frequent dogmatism and didacticism, which mark his work as divisive. Although Murray professes to …

Representations Of History In Popular Cinema : Schindler's List And Jfk As Postmodern History Texts, Kieran L. Murphy

Theses : Honours

The concept of this dissertation is to research specific filmic representations of historical situations, and to discuss arguments presented in Spielberg's Holocaust by critics such as Bartov, Hansen and Zelizer (1997), that popular films such as Schindler's List are unable to represent history to the same extent as traditional historical texts. I will also attempt to locate specific interest groups who reaffirm the truth claims of traditional historical narrative, the gatekeepers of 'historical truth', and to examine the nature of 'popular history', and how it is negotiated in the modern cultural sphere. I will analyse the concept of the 'unrepresentable' …

Loneliness Underneath Laughter : Aspects Of Alienation In The Early Plays Of Tom Stoppard, Steven Hounsome

Theses : Honours

This thesis investigates the various states of alienation that exist in the early plays of the British dramatist Tom Stoppard. By first defining alienation (and discussing the areas of contention which surround the concept), it proceeds to argue that whilst Stoppard has been greatly revered as a comic writer his works are equally consequential for their sensitivity and insight. They depict a prolificacy of characters who fail to assimilate with their society, can no longer relate to those around them and, as is often the case, reach for, but never manage to grasp a sense of their own identity. The …

Nene Gare, A Biographical Study: Australian Novelist, 1919-1994, Rosina Squarcini

Theses : Honours

This thesis undertakes an introductory biographical study of Australian writer, Nene Gare, and a critical reading of her work with special reference to The Fringe Dwellers. The author of this study has sought to establish the basis for that novel's positive literary reception. The research has been directed at correcting, in part, the comparative neglect of this writer. Nene Gare's life and work has been surveyed in the belief that this study will contribute to the current knowledge of twentieth-century Australian fiction writers as well as showing the critical reception to Nene Gare's work as a part of Australian …

孔子「思無邪」與「鄭聲淫」底蘊解故, Xiande Wu

Dissertations from all years

《詩三百》在春秋時代開始從樂章的原始用途演變為「詩」與「樂」的各自獨立發展趨勢。孔子雖然生當此「詩」、「樂」分流的時代，但是在孔子心目中，《詩三百》的主要用途卻是禮樂。其後，《詩三百》漸變為「義理」之說盛而「聲歌」之學微的局面，後人遂以其自身的時代觀念及釋《詩》態度去理解孔子「思無邪」與「鄭聲淫」的含義。由於離開了孔子身處的時代觀念，沒有從「樂章」的角度去尋繹其義，故產生出種種謬誤之見。

本論文共分四小節：第一節解釋孔子「思無邪」的意思及其與春秋時代賦詩斷章的關係。而第二節就孔子一方面說「思無邪」，另一方面又謂「鄭聲淫」所引起的各種傾向不同之見解作出闡述，並對於《毛詩序》釋《詩》之漏洞及朱熹以「淫詩說」來論析《詩三百》之妄解提山質疑與反駁，舉出謝肇涮、載震、陳子龍、毛奇齡、孫希旦及姚際恆等人以音樂角度來探究孔子「鄭聲淫」一語之箇中意義的可取之處。至於第三節則從多個角度，層層分析「鄭聲」與「古樂」之別，及其與「新聲」之間的關係。又從孔子身處的時代觀念證明孔子「鄭聲淫」是從「樂音」上來立論的，與〈鄭風〉無涉。最後，第四節指出後人蓋未能對「詩經學」的發展階段加以區別，因而籠統為說，謬誤百出。說明若不站回周代社會著重以《詩三百》作為禮樂教化的架構上，從而以「樂章」的角度來窺究其義，則無以知孔子「鄭聲淫」、「放鄭聲」之底蘊也。

《詩三百》原為周之樂章，由是只有「聲音」而無「文辭」上的意義。及至春秋時期，「詩」、「樂」分流，各自開始形成其獨立之面貌。秦火以後，兩漢儒生致力於以「義理」說詩，欲把《詩三百》內容納入政治道德教化的軌道上，作為其「理想國」的憑藉。自始「義理之說既勝，

則聲歌之學日微」(鄭樵《通志》〈樂略﹒樂府總序〉)，《詩三百》的本來義意遂給溼沒且漸為後人忘記。簡言之，《詩三百》實可歸納為西周之「樂教」、春秋戰國之「言教」及兩漢以後之「詩教」三階段，各階段之用途可謂迴然不同。後人由於未能對「詩經學」的發展歷史加以區別認識，是故橫生出種種謬誤之見。例如對孔子「思無邪」與「鄭聲淫」之諸種錯解，皆因為未能站回孔子所處之時空架構上去進行論析，故此衍生山各類悠謬千載之說，貽誤後學。

《潛水鐘與蝴蝶》探析, Ka Wai Chow

Dissertations from all years

本論文旨在以神話及心理分析對《潛水鐘與蝴蝶》(The Diving Bell and The Butterfly) 作山探析。《潛水鐘與蝴蝶》是法國人尚﹒多明尼克﹒鮑比 (Jean-Dominique Bauby, 1952-1997) 的唯一一部書。此書自面世以後，立刻被翻譯成多國不同的語言，並暢銷於世界各地。在此書中，讀者們可以看到一個最脆弱的身軀擁有最堅毅的意志，更可以看到一個極不幸的人怎樣在逆境中勇敢地與宿命搏門。

本論文的內容主要可以分成四部份，第一部份 (引言及作者介紹) 主要是對此書的作者和寫作背景作山簡單的介紹，讓讀者先了解甚且那極不尋常的遭遇，明白此書是一本以心靈所寫成的作品。

第二部份 (冷酷的「潛水鐘」) 主要是從鮑比忠病後的現況，以及他的感受中選取素材，並加以神話的角度來分析鮑比的「潛水鐘」，即作者被禁錮的身軀。在此部份，讀者可以了解為何鮑比的肉體會產生困頓，和為何他的心靈會感到空虛。

第三部份(自由飛翔的「蝴蝶」) 主要是以神話和佛洛依德 (Sigmund Freud，1856-1939) 對夢的心理分析來分析鮑比的「蝴蝶」的世界，即他毫無拘束的思想，從鮑比的回憶、幻想和夢境等等，去了解他內心深處的渴望與憂慮。

最後一部份 (總結) 主要是敘述鮑比在書中所展現的幽默，以及他對親情的重新體會。

透過對《潛水鐘與蝴蝶》的分析，可以更清楚明白鮑比的處境和感受，了解到一個勇敢而又意志堅定的人，是如何在逆境中自處，並開展另一個情感的人生。
