The Aesthetics Of Parody In The Late Ming Dynasty, Jianqing Tuo
The Aesthetics Of Parody In The Late Ming Dynasty, Jianqing Tuo
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The late Ming parodic literature manifests itself as an innovated style based on the tradition of Chinese humorous literature. By means of vulgar imitation in the absurd senses of "crowning" and "de-crowning," it creates a comedic effect disagreeing with the original text and actualizes a restrained mockery of the social norm. The aim, however, is to appeal to the rationalization of human desire and the legitimatization of physical lust. The rise of aesthetic parody, on the internal level, stems from late Ming literature's conceptual shift from morality to entertainment and its narrative departure from traditional storytelling; on the external level, …

Normative Dimensions In Christian Ethics, Bharat Ranganathan
Normative Dimensions In Christian Ethics, Bharat Ranganathan
Religion Faculty Publications
The contributors to this volume are motivated by two concerns. First, we want to clarify the relationship between religious ethics and Christian ethics. Second, we want to specify the contributions that Christian ethics makes to religious ethics. Apart from this Introduction, however, our respective contributions are not methodological ones. Some of us directly address these concerns. For others, these concerns are part of the intellectual landscape that informs our implicit background assumptions. But for all of us, our primary aim is to show, rather than say, what normative Christian ethics is and why it matters for contemporary religious ethics.
Chapter 8: Paul Ramsey's Christian Deontology, Bharat Ranganathan
Chapter 8: Paul Ramsey's Christian Deontology, Bharat Ranganathan
Religion Faculty Publications
Commonsense tells us something about what Christian ethics may look like. For Christians, certain things are fixed, for example, about God (Gen. 1.1; Ps. 18.30; Ps. 50.6; Ps. 116.5; Jn. 1.5), the Fall (Gen. 3), and Christ’s life, death (Matt. 27.32–56), and resurrection (Matt. 28.1–10). Moreover, in his social teaching, Christ commands: “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the …

"Ecological Justice": Two Kinds Of Metaphysical Defense, Qing Zhao
"Ecological Justice": Two Kinds Of Metaphysical Defense, Qing Zhao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
This article aims to undertake an epistemological discussion of ecological justice with de-subjectivity as its core theme from both the perspectives of Adorno's ecological theology and Shi Tao's proposition of "spokesman for shan-shui". The former argues that the negative dialectics holds the possibility of approaching nature itself, and the latter advocates the harmony of heaven and human. Specifically, Adorno elevated the status of nature in the realm of human beings created by God, whereby nature acquires divinity and subjectivity is suppressed. In a different yet compatible way, by conceptualizing the harmony between heaven and human for the exclusivity of subjectivity, …
"The Dark-Houred Clock": Embodiment And Abstraction In Celan's Poetry, Lemberger Dorit
"The Dark-Houred Clock": Embodiment And Abstraction In Celan's Poetry, Lemberger Dorit
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Celan's poetry is replete with metaphors that function in various ways. This article looks at two opposed functions of metaphor there: embodiment and abstraction. They rest on the fact that most cognitive processes occur unconsciously, leaving us with only a limited ability to understand their connections to metaphors. This makes it difficult to understand how a metaphor bridges between faraway and even opposed semantic fields. The dual metaphorical functions will be studied as used in three themes of Celan's language: (1) language as expression and as concealment, (2) interaction with the Other as a key to self-constitution, and (3) the …
An Access To Europe's "Límpensé": François Jullien's Conceptualization Of Classical Chinese Aesthetics, Zhenhua Han
An Access To Europe's "Límpensé": François Jullien's Conceptualization Of Classical Chinese Aesthetics, Zhenhua Han
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The classical Chinese aesthetics that French sinologist François Jullien tries to construct is centered on such notions as plain (la fadeur), non-objet, désontologie, and l'immanence. In so doing, Jullien aims to give Europe an access to "l'impensé" via Chinese aesthetics. However, his endeavour presents itself to be more like a derivative of post-structuralist theories of Foucault and Deleuze and an invention than a reliable representation of China. On the fundamental level, Jullien's views of Chinese thought follows those of Hegel and Max Weber. Although he tries to reexamine Hegel's negative comments on China, his seemingly exquisite discussions fail to rectify …
Chinese Medicine, Western Medicine, And Patients: Writings On Infectious Disease During The Debate Between Chinese And Western Medicine, Xiaoyan Deng
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Modern epidemiology led to a comprehensive change in social concepts. As a result, the fear of bacteria became a psychological basis of social mobilization in modern countries. In China, the fear of bacteria and the fear of Western forces were ingeniously combined, thus becoming the emotional motivation for New Culture intellectuals who fervently criticized traditional Chinese medicine under the slogan of scientism. In the context of the debate between Chinese and Western medicine, this article focuses on the writings of infectious diseases in modern Chinese literature. By analyzing the texts and events related to Chen Dabei, Sun Fuyuan, Lu Xun, …
Cunning Apparatus And The Pain Of Modern Literature: A Parallactic Reading Of Kojin Karatani's Literary Theory, Shangrong Han
Cunning Apparatus And The Pain Of Modern Literature: A Parallactic Reading Of Kojin Karatani's Literary Theory, Shangrong Han
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Since Kojin Karatani's Origins of Modern Japanese Literature was published, it has been regarded as an example of modern criticism based on rationalism. Considering Karatani's theoretical constructions at that time and his entire academic career, a hidden concept of parallax can be found, and the apparatus that exists in modern Japanese literature, as Karatani sees it, results from the lack of this parallax. In contrast to modern literature's emphasis on self-consciousness, the apparatus excludes self-consciousness and engenders a closed field by means of this exclusion. Therefore, arguments on modern literature, such as depth and plot, remain inside the apparatus; not …
Essential Differences Between The Late Qing And The May Fourth Written Vernacular Chinese, Yu Gao
Essential Differences Between The Late Qing And The May Fourth Written Vernacular Chinese, Yu Gao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Dedicated to enlightenment, the late Qing movement of written vernacular Chinese spread both old and new ideas, whereas the May Fourth movement of written vernacular Chinese was an intellectual revolution. Not only did they refuse old ideas, May Fourth literati radically criticized traditional Chinese culture and initiated the modernization of China on both intellectual and social levels. Essentially, the written vernacular Chinese of the late Qing dynasty is a language of instrumentality, whereas that of the May Fourth is a language of thought. The former, mainly including colloquialism and slangs, was an auxiliary language of classical Chinese and unable to …
Function Words Through The Critical Lens Of Traditional Stylistics And Its Later Interpretations In The Early Modern Era, Fangzhou Chang
Function Words Through The Critical Lens Of Traditional Stylistics And Its Later Interpretations In The Early Modern Era, Fangzhou Chang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Essayists of the Tang and Song dynasties consciously celebrated the rhetorical effect of function words, which made function words an important subject in traditional stylistics. During the Qing dynasty, discussions on function words had two voices. In contrast to the school of philology's linguistic approach, the school of rhetoric focused on the style of writing to illuminate the rhetorical significance of function words. In the early modern era, Chinese scholars familiarized themselves with the categorization of Western learning and made attempts to reveal the characteristics of classical prose from a holistic perspective. By looking at function words' rhetorical effect in …
Humanistic Discourse And Knowledge Production Of Literary Theory In The Early Years Of The New Era, Yaming Lu
Humanistic Discourse And Knowledge Production Of Literary Theory In The Early Years Of The New Era, Yaming Lu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Humanistic discourse is not inherently associated with the production of literary theory at its inception, but has become part of the production of literary theory knowledge and participated in the construction of the literary theory knowledge system in a specific way at a particular moment, humanistic discourse as a literary theory should be examined not only in relation to specific international and domestic historical contexts and actual social factors but also from the perspective of the formative process of the literary theory field in the new era. Humanistic literary theory was of great significance in the initial stage of the …
On Rancière's Concept Of Modern Fiction, Danhong Cao
On Rancière's Concept Of Modern Fiction, Danhong Cao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Jacques Rancière has a long-standing interest in fictional issues. In recent years, he has published several monographs, in which he ponders the nature of modern fiction and presented unique insights. Rancière's concept of modern fiction is based on the critique of the traditional fictional rationality pioneered by Aristotle and the inheritance of scholars and writers such as Schiller, Keats, Flaubert, Woolf, Auerbach. It points out that the core of modern fiction is no longer the imitation of an organic whole action, but rather the manifestation of juxtaposed sensible micro-events. Changes in content lead to changes in the form of modern …
On The Theoretical Construction Of The Characteristics Of Tongguang Style Poetry By Tongguang Style Poets, Xiaowei Zhang
On The Theoretical Construction Of The Characteristics Of Tongguang Style Poetry By Tongguang Style Poets, Xiaowei Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The Tongguang Style poetry, which had its origins in the Song School poetry during the reigns of Emperor Daoguang and Xianfeng (1821-1861), represented a profound innovative force within traditional poetry in both theory and creation. Tongguang Style poets also had systematically theoretical construction of the characteristics of their creation. They rebelled against the "orthodox form" in previous poetry and opposed Zhang Zhidong's theory of "qingqie" (explicit), by raising a set of binaries such as "qingqie" and "pise" (recondite), as well as "guangyi" (transparent) and "jianshen" (difficult). Zheng Xiaoxu also said that in modern society, "everything changes with disturbance outside and …
The Decline Of Dualism And The Rise Of Soma-Esthetics In Western Aesthetics, Xiaohua Wang
The Decline Of Dualism And The Rise Of Soma-Esthetics In Western Aesthetics, Xiaohua Wang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Dualism has long been dominant in the history of Western aesthetics, and it has established a hierarchical schema from the day it was born. The mind is imagined as a subjective role, while the body is regarded as a passive object that needs to be driven, enriched and guided. From the point of logic, a paradox is inherent to the schema: if the body and the mind are essentially different, they cannot interact with each other; if their nature is the same in essence, it is equally illogical to distinguish them. In the process of solving this paradox, the significance …
The Dissolution Of Dualism And The Reflective Nature Of The "Contestation Between The Tang And The Song Poetry" In The Qing Dynasty, Yunyun Tang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The "contestation between the Tang and the Song poetry" in the Qing dynasty is commonly viewed dualistically as a rivalry between the pro-Tang poetry group and the pro-Song poetry group. However, the said contestation was not an dispute over learning from the Tang poetry or the Song poetry in poetry writing practice, because their theoretical footings of the two groups do not cover the same ground to form a dualist opposition. At the core of the contestation are the dispute over the value of the Song poetry, and the discussions of traditional poetical concepts such as "poetry expressing ideals," temperament …
The Idea About Writing To "Convery The Truth" Of The Aixuan School In The Southern Song Period And Its Cultural Significance, Tianxi Zheng
The Idea About Writing To "Convery The Truth" Of The Aixuan School In The Southern Song Period And Its Cultural Significance, Tianxi Zheng
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The four generations of the epigones of the Aixuan School in the Southern Song dynasty laid equal emphases on wen and dao, the artistic and ideological aspects of literature. The importance of human nature rose to prominence in this process, and finally obtained the same position as the ideological requirement for writing to "convey the truth". The increasing focus on the nature of literature was a projection of the secularization of Neo-Confucianism from the Southern Song period. Despite the Neo-Confucian repression of literature, it was a special phenomenon that the Aixuan School insisted on its belief in literature and continued …
The Significance Of "Sense Of Beauty" In Eighteenth-Century British Aesthetics, Jialian Li, Yunfeng Lei
The Significance Of "Sense Of Beauty" In Eighteenth-Century British Aesthetics, Jialian Li, Yunfeng Lei
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Centering on "sense of beauty," the inner sense theory developed by Shaftesbury and Hutcheson is highly significant to eighteenth-century British aesthetics. However, due to linguistic and cultural differences, these two concepts have not been well received by the Chinese intelligentsia. By focusing on "sense of beauty," this paper aims to delineate the concept's development in eighteenth-century British aesthetics and evaluate its academic significance in the history of Western aesthetics, with the purpose of supporting the theoretical construction of contemporary Chinese aesthetics.
The Soma Dimension Of Kant's Aesthetics And Its Significance For Ecoaesthetics, Xiangzhan Cheng
The Soma Dimension Of Kant's Aesthetics And Its Significance For Ecoaesthetics, Xiangzhan Cheng
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Kant's aesthetics is typical for its "mind-representation". Mind uses all kinds of cognitive faculties to represent the object as a representation through synthesis, and then the object is given subjectivity through representation. Thus the taste in mind makes aesthetic judgments by connecting the representation with the subject's feeling. Kant, however, has not elaborated on and clarified the relationship between feeling and taste, thus making his aesthetics mainly "a science of judgment" that is rational rather than "a science of feeling" that is perceptual. However, Kant also proposes "taste of the senses" against "taste of reflection" and occasionally mentions such sense …
Why Is K. A Land Surveyor?, Yanbing Zeng
Why Is K. A Land Surveyor?, Yanbing Zeng
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
In Franz Kafka's novel The Castle, the protagonist K. claims that he is a land surveyor by profession. However, K. has no land to survey, which undermines the certainty of K.'s profession. Why, then, did Kafka choose this ancient profession for his protagonist? The uncertainty of K.'s identity, the paper claims, implies that K. is in essence an explorer of existence. Thus, Kafka was a pioneer of existentialist writers. Giorgio Agamben argues that the protagonist K. gets the name from kardo, an old instrument for land surveying. The land surveyor's work is to establish and to break boundaries — not …
Introductory Notes On Engaging With Communities For Justice, Kem Gambrell, Lazarina Topuzova
Introductory Notes On Engaging With Communities For Justice, Kem Gambrell, Lazarina Topuzova
Journal of Hate Studies
Since the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, the rise in hate around the country has increased dramatically. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), in the days immediately following the election of President Trump, a wave of hate crimes and lesser hate incidents swept the country- 1,094 bias incidents in the first 34 days (Potok, 2017). More than a third of these incidents directly referenced Trump, his “Make America Great Again” slogan, or his infamous misogynistic, racist, xenophobic or other demeaning remarks.
Void And Idol: A Critical Theory Analysis Of The Neo-Fascist "Alt-Right", Joan Braune
Void And Idol: A Critical Theory Analysis Of The Neo-Fascist "Alt-Right", Joan Braune
Journal of Hate Studies
This article’s critique of the neo-fascist “alt-right” employs philosophical methods located at a point of intersection between humanist Marxist and spiritual existentialist frameworks, by relying on two radical twentieth-century philosophers of Jewish descent: Erich Fromm (1900-1980) and Simone Weil (1909-1943). What could a Marxist Critical Theorist (Fromm) and a Christian mystic (Weil) share in common, that could somehow help explain what is going on with a bunch of rebranded fascists (the “alt-right”) today? This peculiar convergence is born in part of a surprising synchronicity, revolving around a single term: “the void.”
Lgbt Hate Crime: Promoting A Queer Agenda For Hate Crime Scholarship, James Pickles
Lgbt Hate Crime: Promoting A Queer Agenda For Hate Crime Scholarship, James Pickles
Journal of Hate Studies
Hate crime laws in England and Wales have emerged as a response from many decades of the criminal justice system overlooking the structural and institutional oppression faced by minorities. The murder of Stephen Lawrence highlighted the historic neglect and myopia of racist hate crime by criminal justice agencies. It also exposed the institutionalised racism within the police in addition to the historic neglect of minority groups (Macpherson, 1999). The publication of the inquiry into the death of Stephen Lawrence prompted a move to protect minority populations, which included the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Currently, Section 28 of …
The Pink Triangle As An Interruptive Symbol, Marnie Rorholm, Kem Gambrell
The Pink Triangle As An Interruptive Symbol, Marnie Rorholm, Kem Gambrell
Journal of Hate Studies
The Pink Triangle is a symbol of collective memory and meaning for two very different, but similarly marginalized groups: gay male prisoners held in concentration camps in Nazi Germany, and the modern LGBTQAI+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, asexual/allied and intersexed) community. Since the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps in the mid 1940’s, many memorials to the Holocaust, as well as several for the Pink Triangle victims have sprung up around the world. While there are a number of reasons for these memorials, one premise is that these monuments serve as a way to create a collective memory, with …
Hate, Conflict, And Public Space: Stand Your Ground Laws And Potential Immunity For Hate Crimes, Jennifer N. Grimes
Hate, Conflict, And Public Space: Stand Your Ground Laws And Potential Immunity For Hate Crimes, Jennifer N. Grimes
Journal of Hate Studies
Statistics reveal that hate crimes in the United States have increased for the past two years in a row. From 2014 to 2016, the number of reported hate crimes has increased from 5,479 in 2014, to 5,850 in 2015, to 6,121 in 2016. These numbers do not include crimes that were not shared with the FBI by local law enforcement, or crimes that were not reported to the police at all. Early indicators reveal that the number of hate crimes in 2017 is expected to further continue this upward trend. The current social and political climate has raised much concern …
Ministering To Other People's Fears: Effects Of Anti-Muslim Hostility On American Muslim Participation In Public Life, Caleb Elfenbein
Ministering To Other People's Fears: Effects Of Anti-Muslim Hostility On American Muslim Participation In Public Life, Caleb Elfenbein
Journal of Hate Studies
This article explores the manifestations and effects of anti-Muslim hostility in the United States, asking how anti-Muslim hostility affects the nature of American Muslim participation in public life. It argues that cultural trauma among American Muslim communities, resulting from an expectation of routine harm, conditions the nature of participation in public life undertaken by many American Muslims. Drawing on original datasets documenting anti-Muslim hostility and outreach efforts undertaken by American Muslim communities, we can see that ministering to non-Muslim fears has become a central element of participation in public life. This burden of “humanization” pushes us to consider central elements …
"So Much For Darwin" - An Analysis Of Stormfront Discussions On Race, Dianne Dentice
"So Much For Darwin" - An Analysis Of Stormfront Discussions On Race, Dianne Dentice
Journal of Hate Studies
Even though people who actively participate in the white nationalist movement appear to be a relatively small percentage of the global population, it appears that racist and anti-Semitic attitudes continue to inform a new generation of white nationalists, many of whom populate discussion forums on Stormfront, online since 1995 and billed as the first Internet site in the hate genre. Membership in extremist groups and support for sites like Stormfront embody specific attitudes about race, the importance of the existence of biological races, intellectual superiority of whites, and justification for these beliefs that is sometimes framed with a religious perspective …
The Perpetuation Of Online Hate: A Criminological Analysis Of Factors Associated With Participating In An Online Attack, James Hawdon, Matthew Costello, Rebecca Barrett-Fox, Colin Bernatzky
The Perpetuation Of Online Hate: A Criminological Analysis Of Factors Associated With Participating In An Online Attack, James Hawdon, Matthew Costello, Rebecca Barrett-Fox, Colin Bernatzky
Journal of Hate Studies
Online extremism, or the use of information technology to profess attitudes devaluing others based on a characteristic such as race, religion, gender, or sexuality, is a growing problem. This has led to myriad harmful effects for some who are exposed to online hate. A critical first step toward stemming the tide of online hate is understanding factors associated with its creation and spread. To that end, this analysis examines factors associated with joining an ongoing attack against a targeted group online. We use insights from four leading criminological theories – routine activity theory, social control theory, general strain theory, and …
Learning The Language Of Justice Through Play, Carolyn M. Cunningham, Heather M. Crandall
Learning The Language Of Justice Through Play, Carolyn M. Cunningham, Heather M. Crandall
Journal of Hate Studies
Video games are often seen as a medium for entertainment. However, there is an emerging genre of video games that are designed to raise awareness about important social issues like poverty, immigration, and war. These games use persuasive strategies for engaging communities in conversations about human rights issues. This paper provides analyses of the educational strategies of twenty-one human rights video games on the Games For Change website. Our analysis reveals that the ways these games increase cognition, increase empathy and teach affective responses, as well as teach players how to participate in social change processes, serve to educate for …
