A Critique Of Chernyshevsky, Jianjun Li May 2016

A Critique Of Chernyshevsky, Jianjun Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In Chernyshevsky's literary criticism practice, reality has the absolute dominance over arts, and this leads to the extremity in his aesthetic concept, resulting in the one-dimensional, closed and narrow understanding of his aesthetics. This paper takes his concept of "life" as starting point to analyze his key views and examine the legitimacy and limitations of his utilitarianism, and tries to do justice to the acuteness, straightforwardness and prejudice in his literature criticism.

A Critical Review Of Xia Chengtao's Views On The History OfCi-Poetry And The Construction Of The History, Zhixi Qian May 2016

A Critical Review Of Xia Chengtao's Views On The History OfCi-Poetry And The Construction Of The History, Zhixi Qian

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Xiao Chengtao's views on the history of ci-poetry and the construction of the history resulted from his research and creative practice. One of Xia's key views was that the delicate restraint style was not to be termed as the orthodox, and this view broke away from the established understanding in the history of ci-poetry and enables Xia to reflect from a broader context on the ci-poetry history and the dualistic classification of ci-poetry. Xia's reflection on Changzhou School's view of ci-poetry history was of special importance to his views. His contributions to the study of ci-poetry included his elucidation of …

Cognitive Thinking And Contemporary Chinese Theory Of Literature And Art, Shousen Yang May 2016

Cognitive Thinking And Contemporary Chinese Theory Of Literature And Art, Shousen Yang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Due to the specificity of historical development, mores of the age and cultural tradition, contemporary Chinese theory of literature and art is dominated by what Hegel termed as the pragmatic, isolated and partial cognitive thinking. Cognitive thinking has till recently been under its negative impact to the extent that the views on many issues have gone into the extreme. In order to promote the development of the contemporary Chinese theory of literature and art and the renaissance of national culture, we should understand the relationship between sensibility, intellectuality and reason, and be wary of extreme deficiencies of intellectuality by emphasizing …

Common Sense, Nature Of The Mind And Humanism: A Study On Kant's Aesthetic Taste, Liqun Lv May 2016

Common Sense, Nature Of The Mind And Humanism: A Study On Kant's Aesthetic Taste, Liqun Lv

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Kant's aesthetic taste as he had expounded in his Critique of Judgment is not only the foundation for further research on aesthetics but also an important methodological significance. A detailed examination of such concepts as common sense, communicability and disinterestedness reveals the essential characteristics of aesthetic taste and its wide application range in the human domain. In the context of the crisis in the contemporary world, re-examination of the aesthetic taste may provide us a new perspective on the world and human affairs.

Different Types Of Modern Chinese Literary Criticism, Zidong Xu May 2016

Different Types Of Modern Chinese Literary Criticism, Zidong Xu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In the development of modern Chinese literary criticism since the May Fourth movement, stylistic criticism flourished in the 1920s which resulted in partisan criticism in the 1930s. Organized by the left-wing groups, partisan criticism was divided into three different types, known as "criticism of the others," "internal debate" and "top-down approach," with differed historical contexts, writing styles and strategies. Their evolution, integration and transformation deeply influenced the development of modern and contemporary Chinese literature. It was until the 1980s that academic-style literary criticism, developed in the 1940s, had a direct impact on contemporary Chinese literature. In the Internet Age, many …

Dream Of The Red Chamber Internet Fan Fiction And Literary Canonicity, Rojas Carlos May 2016

Dream Of The Red Chamber Internet Fan Fiction And Literary Canonicity, Rojas Carlos

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This article considers the contemporary genre of Internet fan fiction inspired by Dream of the Red Chamber, which is to say Chinese novels published over the Internet that take the plot of Dream of the Red Chamber as their starting point. Through a close textual analysis of thematics of incestuous desire, reproduction, and vestigial remains in two works of Dream of the Red Chamber fan fiction, he argues that these contemporary novels comment allegorically not only on their own relationship to Dream of the Red Chamber itself, but also on more abstract processes of literary production and canon formation.

From "Revolution" To "Practice" In Everyday Life: The Future Of Life Aesthetics As Seen From The Failure Of The Situationist International, Yuedi Liu May 2016

From "Revolution" To "Practice" In Everyday Life: The Future Of Life Aesthetics As Seen From The Failure Of The Situationist International, Yuedi Liu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Although the construction of situations plays a key role in the Situationist International (SI) and the spectacle has become the presented image and method of presentation in the modern world, everyday life becomes another key word which has also run through the whole history of the Situtionist International. The relationship between spectacle and life has taken such a form that life is the foundation of the society with spectacle being the symptom of the society and life is fluid with spectacle being its external phenomenon. SI has realized its historical transition from revolution to practice in everyday life, and the …

From The Text Game To The Source Of Violence: The Idea Of Mimesis In Derrida And Girard, Cheng Lu May 2016

From The Text Game To The Source Of Violence: The Idea Of Mimesis In Derrida And Girard, Cheng Lu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Although the mimetic theory of representation was no longer the mainstream of western literary theory since the 19th century, the idea of regarding arts and literature as the result of "mimetic" acts still has tremendous impact today. Taking Derrida's deconstructive theory of mimesis and Rene Girand's anthropological theory of mimesis as examples and focusing on mimesis as text game and the source of violence, this article attempts to demonstrate that the logic of mimesis is still deeply rooted in the discourse of literary theory nowadays. As the minetic theory has the ethical dimension of relating to others and heterogeneity through …

Literary Mind And The Carving Of DragonsAnd The Study On Texts In The Ming Dynasty, Jianzhong Bai

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The study of Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons emerged in the Ming Dynasty for many reasons, among which the Six-Dynasty School's attention to the work was an important factor. The influence of Literary Mind was so great in the Ming-Dynasty study on texts that the first monograph on text study A General Survey of Literary Texts (Wen Tong) was written in the style of Literary Mind in late Ming Dynasty. Some of the influential and important concepts in Wen Tong were either inherited from or developed upon Literary Mind, which showed that the Ming-Dynasty scholars could both inherit …

Reconciliation: All Our Relations, Kelly Laurila

Consensus

The author shares the national, community (local) and individual discourses taking place as they pertain to the reconciliation process that is happening with Indigenous and Settler peoples in Canada. Importantly, the author sheds light on a multitude of local efforts of reconciliation happening that have not yet made it to academic discourses and publications, but which could be instrumental in contributing to reconciliation. A key component emphasized in these reconciliation efforts and which could be the catalyst for change, is the importance of relationships. Stemming from an Indigenous epistemological perspective, the creation of positive relationships with others and ‘all our …

Countries Of The Global South: Vulnerability And Strategy For Change, Abdul Redha Abdul Ibrahim\'S Holidays May 2016

Countries Of The Global South: Vulnerability And Strategy For Change, Abdul Redha Abdul Ibrahim\'S Holidays

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

The concept of the Global South has been around for decades, but studies on its concept and characteristics from a geopolitical perspective have been limited, as it has been extensively addressed in political literature. This research addresses this concept from a geographical perspective and touches on the most important indicators of vulnerability for these countries from several axes, including food security, which exposes the country to vulnerability in the face of food-exporting countries. It also examines the problem of population growth, which is disproportionate to the investment of resources in these countries, and consequently, external debt, which has a significant …

Do Millennial College Students At An Urban, Non-Residential University Believe That There Is A Link Between Material Wealth And Happiness?, Yustyna Yaremchuk May 2016

Do Millennial College Students At An Urban, Non-Residential University Believe That There Is A Link Between Material Wealth And Happiness?, Yustyna Yaremchuk

Student Theses and Dissertations

In my study, I tackle the question of whether students believe that having greater material wealth can bring them greater happiness. This is an important question to address and answer (that can potentially provide insight into the greater issue of whether money can lead to happiness) because if the students think that attaining material wealth can lead to greater happiness (even if it actually might not), then this will affect their judgments regarding the success of their own lives. Subsequently, if they deem themselves unsuccessful because of a lack of monetary wealth, they could judge or cause themselves to become …

Popular Culture In 1970s And 1980s Poland, Monika Jankowski May 2016

Popular Culture In 1970s And 1980s Poland, Monika Jankowski

Student Theses and Dissertations

The focus of this thesis is to analyze the popular culture in Poland during the 1970s and 1980s. The 1970s and 1980s were a crucial time for Poland which contained many political and cultural changes. For the citizens of Poland, the 1970s represented a time of economic prosperity and a time of adherence to the government. This contrasts the political unrest that occurred during the 1980s. The popular culture of the 1970s and 1980s reflects this shift. The popular culture of Poland during the 1970s will be analyzed by using music, magazines and comedy skits. It will portray propaganda that …

The Reality Of Educational Services In The City Of Rumaitha And Building A Model Of Spatial Suitability For Them Using Geographic Information Systems (Gis), Raad Abdul Hussein Mohammed Al-Gharibawi, Aqeel Kazim Wali

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

Geography is experiencing a massive information revolution that is difficult to navigate and utilize without the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. This is achieved through the ability to perform multiple functions in managing, processing, analyzing, storing, and retrieving data and information, as well as the ability to update and link data and information together, and accurately produce results in various formats. Decision-makers can rely on this technology to address many of the problems presented, particularly those related to educational services. This research came in three sections preceded by an introduction. The first section presented the reality of educational …

Thinking Deeply, Creating Richly: Learner Transformation Through Narrative, Kaylea Hascall Champion May 2016

Thinking Deeply, Creating Richly: Learner Transformation Through Narrative, Kaylea Hascall Champion

Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection

Narrative methods support transformative teaching and learning by accessing human cognitive strengths, including memory, reflection, and self-awareness. This paper explores the enduring and mindful use of narrative in education – as a method for transformative teaching and learning. A narrative is the intentional conversion of a group of events, participants, and details into a constructed reality that illustrates causes, characters, and results. Narrative development is a native human process by which we teach, learn, and remember. Narrative educational methods incorporate two key characteristics: integrative sense making, and shared connection building. Diverse disciplines – including biology, psychology, economics, literature, medicine, history, …
