Connotations And Characteristics Of The Public And The Private In Classical Chinese Poetics: A Case Study Of Zhang Xuecheng's Idea "Publicness Of Language", Qingyu Yan Jul 2019

Connotations And Characteristics Of The Public And The Private In Classical Chinese Poetics: A Case Study Of Zhang Xuecheng's Idea "Publicness Of Language", Qingyu Yan

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Issues of the public and the private have been discussed thoroughly in the history of thought, while it is yet to be developed in the field of literary history. Zhang Xuecheng's idea of "publicness of language" can be regarded as an inspiring beginning. From Zhang Xuecheng's perspective, the issues of the public and the private of classical Chinese poetics can be discussed from three dimensions, namely, ownership, originality, and authorship. The tendency of privatization and the balance between the public and the private in classical Chinese poetics is clear in the discussions on the formation of and response to ownership, …


We’Re Late; But We Made It: A Brief Analysis And Comparison Of Characterization And Storytelling In Pre And Post-World War American Theatre, Jasmine Binford Jul 2019

We’Re Late; But We Made It: A Brief Analysis And Comparison Of Characterization And Storytelling In Pre And Post-World War American Theatre, Jasmine Binford

McNair Scholars Research

As the effects of the World Wars hit the American people, playwrights responded to the grief and passion of the country with a new approach to theatrical storytelling. After World War I and II, American playwrights finally made it to the movement that had been sweeping through Europe for five decades: realism. Theatres began exploring real emotion, action, and characters in their stories. This research will explore the journey of transitioning from American melodrama to American modernism using characterization and storytelling methods. Critiques from contemporaries and the works form each movement will be used as primary sources.

On The Lyrical Tradition Of Chinese Prose, Jianhui Chen Jul 2019

On The Lyrical Tradition Of Chinese Prose, Jianhui Chen

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Chen Shih-Hsiang's argument that Chinese literature is destined to be dominated by lyricism because lyrical spirit is a tradition in Chinese literature has a far-reaching scholarly influence. By tracing the development of the lyrical tradition of Chinese prose, this article summarizes three emotional patterns — "leaving and returning," "joy and worry," and "happiness and sorrow." In terms of lyrical standpoints and content, Western lyricism tend to focus on individual liberations and dreams of an ideal world, emphasizing subject value of individuals and the expression of self-feelings, while Chinese lyrical proses pay more attention to the unity of personal expression and …


On The Genealogy Of Heresy In Revolutionary Literature, Huiying Xie Jul 2019

On The Genealogy Of Heresy In Revolutionary Literature, Huiying Xie

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In the late 1920s, the debates about the nature, function, direction and position of "revolutionary literature" were accompanied by various conflicting voices. In each stage of the revolutionary literature developed afterwards, there were "alien" elements that diverged from literary mainstream and authoritative discourse. With the development of history, these "alien" authors constantly developed and finally formed a continuous genealogy of heresy. In the context where mainstream culture became increasingly conservative and ideological discipline turned stricter, they were gripped in a historical dilemma. Originally, Chen Duxiu and Lu Xun were two revolutionaries with the same ultimate goal, but they had different …


The Emergence And Development Of "Chinese Aesthetics" In The Modern Times: A Historical Inquiry , Qiang Zhao Jul 2019

The Emergence And Development Of "Chinese Aesthetics" In The Modern Times: A Historical Inquiry , Qiang Zhao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Over the last century, the legitimacy of Chinese aesthetics has been gradually confirmed in the studies of aesthetics and the writings of the history of aesthetics by Chinese and Western scholars. Cultural exchanges between China and the West have promoted the indigenization of aesthetics in China and deconstructed the universality of Western aesthetics, thus giving rise to the plural concept of "world aesthetics", which paved the way for the modern construction of "Chinese aesthetics". Due to its importance, the way to interpret Chinese aesthetics has become "the meta-question" that promotes the study and writing of the history of "Chinese aesthetics".


"New Literature" And "Old Tradition":The Interaction Between Modern And Traditional Zhanghui Novels, Bingru Guo Jul 2019

"New Literature" And "Old Tradition":The Interaction Between Modern And Traditional Zhanghui Novels, Bingru Guo

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The Zhanghui novel epitomizes classical Chinese fiction and is one of the main constituents of its narrative tradition. The different and varying understandings of zhanghui novels by new literature in different historical periods influenced not only the relationship between new literature and "old tradition," but also, significantly, the concept of modern fiction and its creative practice. Despite Western literature's impact on modern Chinese fiction, it still developed in close relation to old traditions, including the zhanghui novel. This phenomenon displays new literature's complicated relationships with literary tradition, historical context and social reality, as well as its historical trajectory of genesis, …


The Receptive Dimension Of "The Music Of Today Derives From The Music Of Antiquity", Miaodan Chen Jul 2019

The Receptive Dimension Of "The Music Of Today Derives From The Music Of Antiquity", Miaodan Chen

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The discussion between Mencius and the King Xuan of Qi on music was aimed at political benevolence, and "the music of today derives from the music of antiquity" was not Mencius's deliberate theorization. As this concept has no further elaboration in its original context, it has caused intellectual controversies for later generations. Basically, scholars of the Song dynasty denied the notion from historical and Neo-Confucian perspectives, while those of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties accepted it by justifying the value of "the music of today." Among the supporters, there were two different voices, that is, to consider "the music …


From "Image" To Simulacrum: Derrida's Discussion On Writing, Shubao Dong Jul 2019

From "Image" To Simulacrum: Derrida's Discussion On Writing, Shubao Dong

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Writing is one of the key words in Derrida's deconstructive philosophy. In his Of Grammatology, Derrida refers to the claims of writing from Plato to Rousseau and down to Saussure, confuting their idea that "writing is the image of speech". However, Derrida, inspired by Saussure's principle of difference that "in language there are only differences," and expounds the relationship between writing and difference, by which he transforms Saussure's static difference into the dynamic difference. Writing plays the game of difference in simulacra, and fills up the simulacrum in the supplemental movement of "image", Writing finally becomes a roaming orphan, which …


Political Or Ethical: Chen Duxiu's Motive For Writing "Towards A Literary Revolution", Xu Xu Jul 2019

Political Or Ethical: Chen Duxiu's Motive For Writing "Towards A Literary Revolution", Xu Xu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Chen Duxiu's motive for writing "Towards a Literary Revolution" has been widely understood on the political level. This conception is based on its historical consequence and therefore controversial among scholars. To put the article into its original context, a solid correlation can be found between the debate on literary revolution and the slogan of "reforming national characters." Combined with the anti-Confucian revolution back then and the textual performance of the article, it can be argued that, for Chen Duxiu, the concern of ethics was more imperative than that of society or politics. In this view, to reconnect "Towards a Literary …


The In-Betweenness Of Humankind And Thing: A Crisis Of Modernity From The Perspective Of Philosophy Of Technology, Zhengbo Zhang Jul 2019

The In-Betweenness Of Humankind And Thing: A Crisis Of Modernity From The Perspective Of Philosophy Of Technology, Zhengbo Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The harmony between humankind and Thing is the normative basis on which ecological balance and stable social development are maintained. With the development of industrial revolution, information technology, and neurosciences, this due harmony has been disturbed by such crises of modernity as the schism between humankind and Thing, the excessive connection between humankind and Thing, and the bewildered in-betweenness of humankind and Thing. These predicaments may lead to consequences like ecological imbalance, moral bankruptcy, emotional distortion, and even the destruction of human beings. In this regard, it is through returning to the "undifferentiated world," facilitating the mutual exchange between humankind …


The Innovation On Early Modern Language And The Change Of Fiction's Language Style, Xiaojun Liu Jul 2019

The Innovation On Early Modern Language And The Change Of Fiction's Language Style, Xiaojun Liu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The change of early modern fiction's language style was closely related to the language innovation movement. Under the impetus of the movement of oral-written languages integration and the movement of national language unification, the language style of early modern fiction saw a decline in the influence of classical Chinese language and an increase in vernacular Chinese language. In this process, vernacular Chinese language absorbed the essence of classical Chinese language, received the influence of translated works, and combined the elements of classical and mandarin Chinese languages, thus forming a heteroglossia style. The completion of the change in the style of …


The Paradox Of "Self": New Literature's Ethical Problems Of "Individual Liberation", Jianhua Song Jul 2019

The Paradox Of "Self": New Literature's Ethical Problems Of "Individual Liberation", Jianhua Song

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The new literature relies on the form of "natural person" to pursue the ideals of "self" and "freedom", which indeed promoted the historical progress of Chinese society. However, this type of absolute "self" and "freedom" also directly destabilized the ethical relationship in traditional culture, thus making people's behavior disordered. Once the "self" was placed above society and broke away from the control of social moral norms, the opposition between the "self" and society emerged, and the "self" eventually fell into ideological confusion as it could no longer exist. For new literature, the shift from blind optimism to rational thinking in …


Ethics Or Law: Which Should Prevail In Conflicts Regarding The Restitution Of Nazi-Looted Art?, Anthony Caruso Jul 2019

Ethics Or Law: Which Should Prevail In Conflicts Regarding The Restitution Of Nazi-Looted Art?, Anthony Caruso

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

Museums and sovereign states often face a dilemma when confronted with a claim seeking restitution of Nazi-looted artwork. The assertion of legal technicalities may allow an institution to maintain possession of its artwork whereas ethics would dictate its return. This paper discusses three cases where legal technicalities take precedence over ethics. This conflict demonstrates the need to have such disputes addressed in a forum other than a court system.


An Analysis Of The Phenomenon Of Titling Fu With Poetry In The Tang Dynasty, Haoyu Tang Jul 2019

An Analysis Of The Phenomenon Of Titling Fu With Poetry In The Tang Dynasty, Haoyu Tang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Poetry and fu (prosy ode) both flourished during the Tang dynasty, and thus with the mutual infiltration and development of poetry and fu, there was a phenomenon of using poetical lines in the title of fu, which influenced its content and purport. This phenomenon also reflected similarities and differences of poetry and fu in expressions and characteristics, and clearly revealed the trend of confluence of poetry and fu in the development of literary styles during the Tang dynasty. This article lists all the works in The Complete Fu of the Tang Dynasty that used poetry in titles and analyzes their …


On The Experiential Basis Of Beauty, Hongxiang Li Jul 2019

On The Experiential Basis Of Beauty, Hongxiang Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The concept of beauty has been abused in contemporary popular aesthetics, which attributes the beautiful to the superficial experience of human body and fails to understand the spirituality of true beauty. In contrast to beauty in everyday sense, true beauty exists in ecstasy, a holistic experience integrating body and mind, in which people may feel a transcendental sense of reality. Different from pathological illusion, the ecstatic sense of beauty signifies nature's manifestation in human life and testifies to the intrinsic harmony between humankind and the universe. Through the lens of ecstasy, this article examines true beauty in three dimensions: reflections …


The Artistry In The Historical Storytelling Scripts Of The Song And Yuan Dynasties, Dajun Xu Jul 2019

The Artistry In The Historical Storytelling Scripts Of The Song And Yuan Dynasties, Dajun Xu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The Song dynasty saw the development of telling historical stories in both official functions and folk gatherings, and both occasions reflect the popularization of historical knowledge not only in these occasions but also in the sociocultural environment. Artisan's storytelling performance and popular history books represent two representational forms of the oral and written products, and historical storytelling scripts thus emerged. These scripts are the results of the popularization of historical knowledge, the prosperity of popular historical books, the attitude to and the ability in vernacular Chinese during the Yuan dynasty. In this process, the style of expression of historical storytelling …
