Nuanced Translations: The Search For Unity Between Text, Image, And Self In Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales, Jana Purington

Senior Theses

Few scholars have invested much time studying Oscar Wilde's fairy tales, focusing primarily on their place within the fairy tale genre, their morality, and queer themes latent in the stories. Fewer still examine them as visual, rather than merely literary, texts. Many of these ways of understanding his tales provide valuable insight, convincing interpretations, worthwhile avenues for thought, but by considering the artistic elements of Wilde's work, we can appreciate the cross-fertilization of his abstract, theoretical Aesthetic principles and the tangible objects he produces. Even among the subset of critics who do emphasize the visual aspects of Wilde's books, attention …

Review: Political Agape Christian Love And Liberal Democracy, Bharat Ranganathan

Religion Faculty Publications

Timothy Jackson’s Political Agape: Christian Love and Liberal Democracy is expansive. Across the book’s twelve chapters, which are themselves bookended by a substantive introduction and conclusion, he covers an impressive range of moral, political, and religious thinkers, including Ronald Dworkin, Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, John Rawls, Richard Rorty, Peter Singer, and Jeffrey Stout. He also discusses an array of disparate topics, including adoption, euthanasia, capital punishment, gay marriage, and human rights. His book is also ambitious: he examines these thinkers and topics while aiming to think together commitments to both neighbor-love and liberal democracy, simultaneously navigating between sectarianism …

The Inheritance Of Misty Poetry's Tradition And The Crisis Of New Poetry, Guoyuan Xu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The paper aims to analyze how the Misty Poetry inherited Chinese poetry tradition and how the inheritance resulted in the spiritual crisis and the entailing crisis of Chinese contemporary poetry. The Misty Poetry tries to conceal its inheritance of Chinese modern poetry with an explicit anti-traditional gesture, but due to the unbridgeable gap between the poets' self and the cultural and historical tradition, the Misty poets could not but fall into the deep trap of nihilism. The essential influence on the Misty Poetry has been the early Western modernism, especially the Symbolism, and the Misty Poetry could hardly be said …

The Two Worlds And The Tragic Sense In Chen Yinque's Poetics, Jingru Pan

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Chen Yinque was also a prolific poet, and his poems were full of metaphor and innuendo. Chen's poetry can be traced in spirit and culture back to his father Chen Sanli's influence, and also allows the reader to have a glimpse of his melancholic nature. These two strands of influence contribute to the two distinct worlds of images in his poetry, one pointing to the impermanent yet everlasting realistic world, and the other pointing to the other side of this world. The former world is composed of flowers and people and human affairs, while the latter is composed of the …

On The Literary Ideas Of The Yangming School, Qingtao Xue

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The literary idea of the Yangming School is grounded in their concept of "conscience," which differs in part from Cheng-Zhu school. In terms of relationship between the literature and Confucian ideas, Yangming School's belief is that literary reation may not be necessarily in conflict with those idleas, which is against Chengzhu School's claim of "literalure does harm to Confucian ideas," and Yaming Schol's argument helps to relieve the intense relationship between literature and Cunfucianism. Inlerms of literariness, Yangming School advocates sincerity in expression instead of indulgence in the art of rhetoric. In terms of literary creation, it opposes the simulation …

Material objects in consumer society show the features of a system that is dominated by cultural ideas with the human sense of orientation.

The Destiny Of Art: On Jean Baudrillard's Aesthetic Thought, Shuyuan Wan

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Baudrillard claims that contemporary world is a transparent world characterized by excess, while contemporary art is an obscene world in which the reality is excessive and illusion is deficient. Art has been made entirely deviated from its essence. Therefore, Baudrillard therefore calls for the return of art to its inherent way from "something" back to "nothing," returning to a form of illusion or a form of other-worldness.

Famous ci-poetry scholar Xia Chengtao also attained highly in ancient poetry creation, and he was especially devoted to the song-form poetry but his achievements have not been done justice to in the academic circle.

This paper examines Xia Chengtao's comments on ballad-form poetry in …
