A Revolutionist's Loyalty Crisis And Its Dissolution: A Re-Reading Of Wang Meng'sBu Li, Dongfeng Tao Nov 2014

A Revolutionist's Loyalty Crisis And Its Dissolution: A Re-Reading Of Wang Meng'sBu Li, Dongfeng Tao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Wang Meng's novel Bu Li ("Bolshevistic Salute") is about the loyalty crisis of the protagonist Zhong Yicheng, a Chinese revolutionist. The terror of the loyalty crisis lies in that Zhong can never be an independent being but is totally attached to revolution itself. The faith of a revolutionist and the loyalty to Chinese Communist Party serve as the foundation of Zhong's identity, and his relation with revolution becomes the sole reason and meaning for his life as well as the guarantee for him to be a "human." The only thing he can be is a revolutionist and a son of …


Earl Miner, Comparative Poetics And The Construction Of World Poetics, Ning Wang Nov 2014

Earl Miner, Comparative Poetics And The Construction Of World Poetics, Ning Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In the international circles of comparative literature and literary theory, comparative poetics dealing with literary theory still occupies a position although elite literature and its theory are impacted by cultural studies. In this aspect, American comparatist Earl Miner's pioneering contribution should not be neglected. Although Miner was not the first to shift scholarly attention to the study of Eastern comparative literature and literary theory, it may be argued that his intercultural explorations into comparative poetics have surpassed his precursors or contemporaries like René étiemble, Douwe Fokkema and James Liu, entering the field of general literary and theoretical studies. Miner's contribution …


The Pragmatic Path Of The Somatic Turn In The Western Aesthetics, Xiaohua Wang Nov 2014

The Pragmatic Path Of The Somatic Turn In The Western Aesthetics, Xiaohua Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Since the early 20th century, a somatic turn has presented itself as increasingly influential in the Western aesthetics. As the science of sensory recognition, it initiates a return to the body-subject and life-world. In this process, the contribution of pragmatism is prominent. Since Charles Peirce proposed the principle of practice, the perspective which values the body has been introduced. The endeavors of scholars like William James, John Dewey and Charles William Morris have all constructed the artistic-esthetic paradigm on the basis of body experience. From the 1980s onwards, scholars such as Richard Shusterman and Mark Johnson put forward and define …

Acting Up And Courting Controversy: The Arkansas General Assembly Legislative Sessions Of 1957, 1958, And 1959, Sarah Riva

Theses and Dissertations

Between 1957 and 1959, under the backdrop of the Central High School Crisis, the Arkansas General Assembly worked to evade compliance with the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision that outlawed segregation in public schools. The three legislative sessions passed laws that mostly sought to maintain segregated schools and limit the NAACP's ability to function in the state. However, religious leaders, parents, and the NAACP sough to have many of these laws overturned and tested their legality in court. The lawsuits were successful and by 1963, all the laws related to school desegregation and the NAAP …

Thomas Waterman Wood's Portrayal Of Black Citizens During The Early Reconstruction Era, Tessa Lynn Davidson Nov 2014

Thomas Waterman Wood's Portrayal Of Black Citizens During The Early Reconstruction Era, Tessa Lynn Davidson

Theses and Dissertations

During his lifetime, Thomas Waterman Wood (1823-1903) was one of America's most beloved genre painters. Since his death, very little has been published to document his career and great achievements. Although the exemplary production of his rural genre subjects is enough to demand further attention, an additional oversight is Wood's unique treatment of African American subjects. Painting during the Reconstruction era when the discourse concerning black citizenship was at its height, Wood created a series of works which portrayed African Americans in a positive light, silently advocating for their rights as U. S. citizens. It is the intent of this …

The Gathings Committee: Censorship, Society, And Paperback Literature In The 1950s, Jim Stallings

Theses and Dissertations

In 1952, Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn appointed Arkansas Democrat Representative Ezekiel Candler "Took" Gathings to lead a select committee and investigate the potential effect of allegedly obscene literature on the morals of American society. The House Select Committee on Current Pornographic Materials, informally known as the Gathings Committee, issued a majority report in 1953. It claimed the distribution of obscene literature was a pervasive problem, and recommended the federal government censor the distribution of material deemed inappropriate. Ultimately, the House of Representatives discarded the committee's recommendations. However, questions of whether or not literature could affect social morals, or …


Saint George, Risd Museum, Sheila Bonde Nov 2014

Saint George, Risd Museum, Sheila Bonde

Channel

Saint George was a soldier of the Roman Emperor Diocletian who accepted martyrdom rather than denounce his Christian faith. This carved and painted sculpture was likely to have been pulled or carried outdoors in religious processions commemorating his feast day, now celebrated on April 23. He was frequently depicted astride a horse, holding a shield and an upraised sword, symbols of both protection and sacrifice. During the Middle Ages, Saint George was the subject of widespread devotion, from Russia and Greece in the east to as far west as the British Isles. Perceived as defender of the Crusades and the …
