From "Nature" To "Nature-As-Such": A Reflection On The Object Of Ecocriticism, Qian Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

What ecocriticism studies is not "nature" as material and substantial environment but "nature-as-such" that appearances in literary works. "Nature-as-such" is a conception between abstract idea and physical reality which could be understood by the way how natural things are described in literary works, and it could be used to explain how natural things are experienced in the real world. The conception of "nature-as-such" leads eco-criticism to step out of the first and the second wave in criticism which takes nature either as substantial environment or cultural construction, and enables ecocriticism to explain the relation between man and nature on ontological …

Lu Xun's Quartet Of Chinese Practice During The Late Qing Dynasty And The Early Republican Period, Guiliang Wen

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

During the late Qing dynasty and the early Republican period, Lu Xun's Chinese practice could be depicted as a quartet. Lu Xun's pro-vernacular interpretative translation of Travel on the Moon and Travel Underground not only demonstrates his ability to use vernacular (baihua) but also exposes his entanglement among vernacular, classical Chinese (wenyan) and Europeanized Chinese. Lu Xun's idea of the unreliability of language was formed after he listened to Zhang Taiyan's exegesis of Explaining and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen Jiezi) and his explanation of translating foreign fictions into classical Chinese. Lu Xun's mastery of classical Chinese can be seen in the …

A Diachronic Approach And Synchronic Interpretation Of Xu Zhongyu's Academic Lineage, Zhixiang Qi

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The subject of this research is Prof. Xu Zhongyu's (1915-) six-volume Collected Writings, and the paper approach his academic achievements through diachronic and synchronic methods by putting them into the social context in the past century. The three academic peaks in Prof. Xu's life can be linked by the fundamental literary thought which may be summarized as his advocacy of literature's positive role in the social progress, his promotion of art and academic freedom, and his emphasis on truth pursuit and independent thinking. His achievements are shown in four areas of Anti-Japanese War period literary theory, ancient Chinese literary theory, …

The Inter-Fusion Of Artistic Perception And Technological Perception: On The Relationship Between Mcluhan's Electric Media Perception And Modernistic Artistic Perception, Xiaoming Yi

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This article deals with the interactive relationship between the modernist artistic perception and the electric media perception in McLuhan's new media theory. The rise of modernism at the end of 19th century echoes the development of the electric age, and the electric media's molding of perception has a direct influence upon the environmental perception of modernism. Modernism serves as the literary source as well as an indispensible part of McLuhan's new media theory, as can be seen in his large amount of quotations from modern writers and artists. The modernist artistic perception can be argued to be the same issue …

"Form" As A Term In Chinese Aesthetics, Qinfang Lai

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

As an aesthetic term, Chinese phrase "xingshi" as a translated equivalent for form has taken time to get its meaning established. The term has once been considered to be a borrowed word from Japanese, but it is actually an existent word invested with new meaning whose appearance was similar to the phrase "meixue (study of beauty)" for aesthetics. Chinese term "xingshi (pattern of shape)" came into being when translation for German formal aesthetics posed this necessity, and then the term gradually takes root into Chinese aesthetics and takes on local significance. Like in the Western context, formalism has once had …

Intention And Language: On Hirsch's Linguistic Explication Of The Author's Intention, Hong Pang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

American scholar Hirsch insists on taking the author's intention as the essential premise and the fundamental basis of interpretation, and the main force which maintains his opinions is the explication, exploration and construction in linguistic dimension. Firstly, he indicates that intention is prior to language through the diagnosis of "semantic autonomism" and "ontological linguistics," and shows his critical reflection on the important cultural event — the linguistic turn. In light of this, Hirsch proposes the notion of "speaking subject" and emphasizes that intention can not be completely divorced from language and should be specified and clarified by the role of …

On Academic Confidence, Xian Zhou

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

China's academic confidence is an emergent issue at present, but this issue is deeply rooted in the historical and cultural context configured by two parallel trends in late 19th- and early 20th-century China: the influence of the Western civilization and the decline of Chinese traditional culture. From the period of "the sick man of East Asia" to the current "China's rise," the travel of theory in the globalization ignites the appeal for academic originality. This appeal to re-establish Chinese academic confidence is not merely a slogan but a strategy with complicated cultural imports. The key to rebuild this confidence lies …

Spivak's Strategies Of Theoretical Construction For Subaltern Studies, Yihua Chen, Peiyuan Lin

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Spivak is a one of the core members of Subaltern Studies. She redefined the key categories and concepts of Subaltern Studies from a subaltern perspective, redefining the critical approaches of early Subaltern Studies. The paper argues that Spivak's Subaltern Studies, in a stricter sense, should not be viewed as a branch of postcolonial studies or feminist criticism. Subaltern Studies delineates the trajectory by which Subalterns' experiences are eliminated and reveals the political significance of Subalterns' resistance, which opens new possibilities for the Subalterns to enter the field of knowledge production.

Technology And Perception: An Inter-Pretation Of Mcluhan, Heisenberg And Zhuangzi, Huimin Jin

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This paper's analysis is based on McLuhan's reference and comments to Heisenberg and Zhuangzi, and focuses on the theme of technology and perception, aiming at an inter-pretation (intertextual interpretation) of the three thinkers. The paper argues that McLuhan goes directly to the unified field of subjecthood by way of electronic media while Heisenberg hovers between the unified fields of subjecthood and of objecthood. Unlike McLuhan and Heisenberg, Zhuangzi is neither subjective nor objective, but enters Dao, the world itself, by sensibility. However, for all of the three, modern technology may lead to aesthetics, that is, there is an aesthetic dimension …

An Investigation Of The Late-Tang Poetics Through The Functional Structure Of The Retro Poetic Styles In "Talent And Taste Anthology", Yi'nan Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The retro style in the Tang poetry collection Talent and Taste Anthology (Cai Diao Anthology) mainly refers the imitation of the poetic styles in the ancient Qi and Liang. The retro style showed in the poetic forms of courtly five-character regulated poems (including extended form and Qi-Liang form), music bureau form (including quatrain) and ballad forms. This style has respective functions, with five-character regulated poems focusing on objects, music bureau forms on emotions and ballad forms on both. It may be said that the retro style in the Talent and Taste Anthology had constructed a relatively complete system of functions, …

On The Psychoanalytical Practice And The Artistic Practice, Althusser Louis, Zhifeng Wu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Initiation à la philosophie pour les non-philosophes, published by Presses Universitaires de France (January 2014), is one of Althusser's most important works. The present article is Chapters 14 and 15 of the book. In these two chapters, Althusser outlined psychoanalytical practice and showed its difficulties. He also discussed the influences that the psychoanalytical practice had on the practice and theory of arts. For Althusser, the analysis produced prodigious effects in the ideology and the philosophy, which he described as a real "Copernican reversal." Before Freud, everything in the man is believed to work in his consciousness, and the essence of …

Self-Creativity Of Chinese Humanities: From Comparative Culture, Cross Culture To Inter-Cultural Turn, Yuedi Liu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Chinese humanities need to participate in global dialogue with Chinese self-creativity, and the paper proposes the three stages in the participation as comparative culture, cross culture to inter-cultural turn. While comparative culture may be viewed as comparison between two parallels, cross culture is more like a bridge between cultures, emphasizing on communication. Intercultural turn, however, focuses on the integration and the blending of different cultural traditions, seeking a deeper understanding of other cultures and eventually reaching global cultural integration. The tasks of comparative culture, cross culture and intercultural turn are to develop humanities on different levels, aiming respectively at cultural …

The Ethics Of Modern Interpretation Of Classical Literary Theory: An Investigation Through Liu Xizai's General Principles Of Art, Zhongyi Xia

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This paper starts with a discussion of Liu Xizai's General Principles of Art so as to investigate the ethics of modern interpretation of Chinese classical literary theory. The two aims of the paper are to connect the ethical spaces between classics and the modern interpretations and to elucidate an approach through the example of Liu Xizai's work. The paper proposes three ways to approach Liu Xizai's original work: to clarify the concepts in their original context, to trace the original trajectory of reasoning in the genealogy of tradition, and to interpret and pay due respect for the moral integrity reflected …

The Poetic Origins Of Media Studies: Some Quantitative Preliminary Understandings, Murvai Peter, Scheffel-Dunand Dominique

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

If the modernist model has dominated the field of literary theory at least since the second half of the 19th Century, does this mean that it also provided a conceptual and discursive framework which was to be adopted and adapted by the field of Media Studies in the 20th Century? The present study gives a tentative answer to this question by shedding light on some of the correlations between concepts found in the modernist aesthetics and in a number of canonical texts in the fields of Media and Communication. More precisely, we propose to conduct a quantitative investigation. Its purpose …
