Le Docteur Et La Sorcière : Conflits De Médecine Et Concurrence Des Traditions Dans Moi, Tituba, Sorcière ... Noire De Salem, Natacha D'Orlando

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This article focuses on Maryse Condé's depiction of medicine and science in her 1986 novel Mai, Tituba, sorcière. It argues that Tituba's critique of modern western medicine, as well as her definition of witchcraft as a healing art, resonate with some topical feminist issues around the time of its publication. Condé's rewriting of the Salem witchtrials emphasizes indeed the epistemological, as well as metaphysical, conflict between the female Caribbean healer and the male doctor whose diagnoses contribute to Tituba's condemnation. As Tituba's confidence in her power and knowledge grows, she also impersonates the danger of an arrogant science, forgoing Man …

Karczma/Taberna: Public Houses In Cracow During The Jagiellonian Dynasty, Peter Paul Dobek

Dissertations

Public houses—inns, taverns, and alehouses—during the Jagiellonian Dynasty (1385-1572) in the city of Cracow and its immediate surroundings functioned as important establishments in the everyday life of the city. While the city continued to grow and prosper as the preferred residence of the dynasty, inhabitants, travelers, and migrants increasingly relied on the public houses of the conurbation to meet their many needs and desires. Although scholars have studied these establishments throughout Europe during various epochs, they have neglected to analyze the public houses in Cracow during the Jagiellonian era.

This study provides a comprehensive examination of a multitude of sources, …

A Phenomenological Exploration Of Women’S Attitudes Towards Women Mentoring Other Women In The Church, Natasha Amy Pettigrew

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This qualitative phenomenological study explores the attitudes and views of women towards mentoring other women in the church for discipleship purposes. Although there are many benefits to women entering into a mentoring relationship for discipleship purposes, including spiritual growth, increase in the practice of spiritual disciplines, staying grounded in the Christian faith, and experiencing deeper intimacy with Christ, there is still a significant percentage of women who are not doing so. The researcher surveyed 37 Christian women between the ages of 18 and 65 to explore their attitudes and views towards women mentoring one another in the church for discipleship …

A Biblical Model To Encourage Associate Ministers To Serve Effectively With Enjoyment, Marcus L. Ellison

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Associate Ministers play a vital role in the growth and development of healthy churches. Yet, too often, they grow impatient with their role and frustrated with their current assignment. This frustration often leads to dysfunction and a lack of spiritual development that ultimately hinders the growth of the church. So, what are the challenges that associate ministers face in serving in subordinate roles of leadership? As an Associate Minister for seven years, this researcher experienced this frustration while serving and waiting on God to open the next door of opportunity. The purpose of this project is to provide a biblical …

“Called Forth By Imminent Dangers”: The American Gothic In Mysteries Of Detection And Detective Fiction (1799-1929), Keli Masten

Dissertations

The period from 1799 through 1929 marks a remarkable era of development for gothic themes in American mystery and investigative fiction. From early “mysteries of detection” through more structurally formalized detective stories, this project examines the differences in the gothic modes and devices employed by Charles Brockden Brown, Edgar Allan Poe, Anna Katharine Green, Mark Twain, and Dashiell Hammett, and their significant contributions to the progression of the popular gothic detective genre. Through the study of each author’s specific style and focus, there is much to learn about literary development and cultural influence. All of the authors mentioned here address …

The Sound Of Adventure: Two Original Compositions That Combine Music, Sound Design, And Post-Production, Inspired By Outdoor Experiences, Jason K. Gibson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Composers have been inspired by nature for centuries, but writing music about nature is becoming more popular in our day. Now, under titles like “Landscape Music” and “Environmental Music,” many composers seek to embody the feeling of nature in music. What has yet to be fully developed is how electronic music and landscape music can overlap in the chamber music world. This project culminates in two original compositions, Natural Opposition (ca. six min), and Giants at Night (ca. 15 min), that seek to satisfy the requirements of both realms by combining naturally inspired music with electronic influences. The compositions themselves …

Effective Design Features For The Management Of Behavioral Health Patients In General Emergency Departments Of Hospitals, Rheena Ware Luchansky

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study investigated nursing staff members perspectives of their existing Emergency Department (ED) and their ability to care appropriately for behavioral health patients within the environment. The study involved three rural hospitals in eastern Texas that may not always have the proper resources to care effectively for this vulnerable patient population. The researcher administered a paper-based survey utilizing a Likert-scale response system to nursing staff across all facilities and received participation from 56 respondents. Survey questions were designed to investigate the current ED environment and identify design features available to assist with caring for behavioral health patients. Data gathered revealed …

Verb Usage In Egyptian Movies, Serials, And Blogs: A Case For Register Variation, Michael G. White

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis contributes to the discussion of register variation within Egyptian Arabic by focusing on the usage of verbs in blogs and transcripts of movies and television. Register variation has been extensively researched for English as well as several other languages; yet, the lexical and grammatical features that distinguish registers of Egyptian Arabic have not been analyzed. Several challenges have prevented such an analysis, among them the perceived lack of an automatic annotator and the uncertainty of results. In order to overcome these challenges, two corpora were compiled: one containing texts from blogs and the other transcripts of movies and …

“詩言志”之本義謭論 : 讀朱自清先生《詩言志辨》札記, Fengyi Zhang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

朱自清先生《詩言志辨》，認為“詩言志”之基本内涵是言説思想意志用以教化，强調其思想旨趣在於政教。這個學術影響巨大的認知，其實是對漢代詩學思想的整理和提煉,與“詩言志”之本義不完全相符。本文從先秦“詩言志”之實踐和闡説、詩人自道“詩言志”之内涵以及“詩言志”訓詁三個方面，重新梳理“詩言志”之本義，以為其不僅包含“表達思想意志”之義，也包含“抒發情感”和“紀事論理”之義。

In Shiyanzhibian, Zhu Ziqing believes that the essence of shiyanzhi is that the purpose of expressing thoughts and ideas is to emphasize the significance of official propaganda. This conviction, which has major academic influence, is actually an induction of the overall poetic thoughts of Han Dynasty, rather than aiming at the essence of shiyanzhi. This essay holds this argument from three aspects: the practice and interpretation of shiyanzhi of pre-Qin period, the illustrations of shiyanzhi of poets themselves, and exegetical studies (xungu) of shiyanzhi. In doing so, this essay reevaluates the very essence of shiyanzhi, and proposes that shiyanzhi …

從叙事角度看抒情傳統説, Xiuyan Fu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

廣義的叙事覆蓋抒情，狭義的叙事與抒情並列，目前已有將抒情問題納入叙事學理論體系的努力。在叙事傳统之外提出抒情傳统，在西方或許没有多大必要，在中國則有助於穿透史官文化的影響，從詩學而非史學的角度去尋找文學傳统的真正源頭。叙事學不應是“無情”之學，叙事傳统研究也不應忽視自身文脈的個性，注意聆聽抒情與叙事兩大傳统的“交響共鳴”，或可避免從單一角度看問題的片面。

Narrative covers lyricism in the broad sense, while it is juxtaposed with lyricism in the narrow sense. In today’s scholarship, the efforts have been made to integrate issues related to lyricism into the theoretical system of narratology. It may not be necessary to put forward lyrical tradition beyond narrative tradition in the west, but in China it is important to pervade the culture of historiography and seek the real source of literary tradition from the poetic perspective. Narratology should not be a “heartless” science, and the study of narrative tradition should not ignore the distinguished features of its own …

同志文學的翻譯、再版與重譯 : 一個叙事建構的視角, Bo Li

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

同性戀一直以來都是敏感話題，甚至是社會禁忌；同志文學的境遇亦然。雖然近年西方翻譯研究學界愈來愈關注同志文學翻譯議題，相關研究在中文學界卻並未得到重視。同志文學的書寫和翻譯始終是在文化與意識形態纷繁衛突的語境下進行。本文探討同志文學的奠基之作的中文翻譯。英國作家E•M•福斯特 (E.M.Forster) 於1913年寫下的頗具自傳色彩的同名小説，按照作者意願直到1971年作者去世之後纔正式出版。原作中的很多同性戀互文性符號在建構作品主題上發揮了重要作用，而中文翻譯中，譯者通過腳注等方法，重新建構了主題的呈現。另外，出版商通過譯者的“譯後記”和其它副文本，對小説的同性戀主題進行了重新建構。通過分析Maurice的中譯，我們考察於21世紀初，當譯入文化對同性戀接受程度提高，小説原文中的互文性符號如何於譯文中得到“同志主題強化” (gayed translation) 的處理。同時，因應讀者和其他社會因素影響，當Maurice的中譯文再版時，譯者同出版商如何對譯作進行重新建構以做出回應。

This paper aims to study the Chinese translation of Maurice. Homosexuality has been a sensitive topic, a taboo in many social contexts. Translation Studies in the West witnesses increasing academic attention in the translation of gay literature in the past two decades, while it has remained largely neglected in the Chinese context. The writing and translation of gay literature has always been closely associated with conflicts, culturally and ideologically. Maurice, by British novelist E. M. Forster, is considered as the founding work for contemporary gay literature. Though it was finished in 1913, it had …

《毛詩草木鳥獸蟲魚疏》中的物觀, Jianguo Cao, Zijun Yi

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

三國吴陸璣所作《毛詩草木鳥獸蟲魚疏》以博物學這一新視角、新方式對《毛詩》進行注解。作為博物學著作，它詳細記述了一百餘种動植物的生物屬性及實際功用，充分展現了漢魏時人將其運用到飲食、醫療、生產、娱樂、宗教與方術等諸多方面的豐富形式，是今人了解漢魏時期風物與風貌的重要參考内容;作為經學訓詁著作，它開創了《毛詩》風物研究這一專門之學，對後世《詩經》的多樣性專門研究影響深遠。它的出現反映了魏晉時期人們精神自由開放，突破兩漢以來重政治倫理意義與比附習氣的傳统思維，另闢蹊徑的《詩經》研究新風向。

Lu Ji, an intellectual from the three Kingdoms era, provided a new perspective for natural history in his maoshi caomu niaoshou chongyu shu (Meanings of Plants Birds, Beasts, Insects and Fish in Mao Shi) for maoshi (or shijing, the Book of Poetry). As a work of natural history, this book describes in detail the biological properties and practical functions of more than 100 species of plants and animals while fully showing the rich forms of food, medicine, production, entertainment, religion and fangshu used by people in the Han-Wei era, making it an important reference for understanding the scenery and …

獨抒性情與文本互涉的辯證 : 袁宏道的詩論與詩歌, Jen-Nien Chai

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

文學作為文化的一環，其在當世的傳播或者後世的流傳勢必要依賴口語或文字。語文作為一種符徵，是傳播者的工具，但文學作品是作家個性與心靈的表現，因此表現作品的文字自然講求獨特性，纔能突顯作家之一空依傍，露才呈性；其次，文學中各種文類也有其傳统，作家不可能自外於文學傳统，作家作品必須放在文學傳统中纔能評估其作品的價值與個人才性。這就為作家帶來一個兩難處境，一方面作家要獨抒性情，一方面又要兼顧繼承傳统，如何可能？明代公安派詩人袁宏道可能是這種現象中最值的探討的詩人之一，他生在明代前後七子的擬古與復古的文學風氣之後，不滿於前七子李夢陽、何景明等與後七子李攀龍、王世貞等“文必秦漢，詩必盛唐”之詩文理論，於是提出“獨抒性情”之説。問題是前後七子主張“文必秦漢，詩必盛唐”，漢唐詩文確實是傳统中的經典，袁宏道真的能一空依傍，字字從心中湧出，篇篇都是獨創嗎？這是本文所欲探究的主題。

Literature is not only a matter of personal creation but also a matter of tradition and heritage. This essay intends to explore the relationship between creation and tradition, especially in the case of Yuan Huang-tao, a man of letter in Ming dynasty. Yuan was born after the prime time of the imitation and restoration of the ancient style when poems were only the reflection of those written by the masters of Han and Tang dynasties. The so-called imitation school was composed of a group of poets such as Li Meng-yang, Ho Ching-ming, Li Pan-lung, and Wang Shih-chen. Yuan was …

《史記》忌諱叙事與《春秋》書法 : 以征伐匈奴之相關人事為例, Kao-Ping Chang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

忌諱叙事，緣於“切當世之文而罔褒”,有所刺譏褒諱挹損之文辭，不可以書見”，故推見至隱，筆削見義，寓微辭以譏諷之。忌諱叙事之焦點，在關注如何為尊者諱恥、為長者諱過。司馬遷《史記》叙武帝征討匈奴事，本文選取相關史傳四篇：《李將軍列傳》，叙討伐匈奴之功過，太史公詭辭謬稱，刺譏褒諱有功不賞。《衛將軍驃騎列傳》，叙衛青、霍去病征討匈奴，所獲不如所亡；衛、霍將略，太史公所不取。言外褒贬，實與而文不與。《匈奴列傳》，不敢斥言武帝窮兵黷武，乃托辭擇任將相。《平準書》，直書為邊費耗財而興利平準，因平準而滋長鬻爵酷吏。聚斂攘奪不可以書見，故或筆或削以見義。司馬遷擅長“於叙事中寓論斷”，以屬辭比事為脈絡，體現或書或不書之筆削去取。主體論文分為三部分：一，《史記》叙征伐興利與《春秋》筆削：（一）《春秋》書法與《史記》之筆削見義。（二）征戰興利，或書或不書，筆削以見義。二，征戰匈奴與《史記》之《春秋》書法、忌諱叙事：（一）《平準書》據事直書，寓論斷於叙事之中。(二）《李將軍列傳》於叙事中即見其指。（三）比事屬辭與《匈奴列傳》之忌諱叙事。三，征伐匈奴與《史記》之曲筆諱書、詭辭謬稱：（一）曲筆諱書，微婉顯晦，推見以至隱。（二）詭辭謬稱，實與而文不與。

Why is there such a thing as taboo narrative? Because according to The Analects, Confucius wrote Chun Qiu in accordance with the incidents of the time when sarcasm, praises, and criticism were taboos and cannot be written, therefore authors appropriated writing skills and hidden words to satirize. The main point of taboo narrative is to show how the authority taboos shame or mistakes of the elders. Sima Qian wrote four essays on the war between Emperor Wu of Han and Xiongnu in Shi Ji, which I will discuss in this paper. Among these four, Biography of General Lee describes …

論叙事與抒情的邊界, Longsun Rao

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

通觀中國古代各體文學發展演進的種種情形可知，叙事與抒情經由共生、分化、消長、互渗的歷程，兩者邊界是流動變化的，非一次劃定而截然清晰。從原始宗教到《詩》演述時期，叙事與抒情本來是一體共生的；春秋戰國以至兩漢時期，《詩》的赋與比興分開，赋的手法與赋的體式分開，赋體文學與他體文學分開，叙事與抒情分化，其邊界日益清晰；魏晉以後以詩歌為代表的抒情文類、以説部為代表的叙事文類分途發展，其抒情、叙事所占份额此消彼長，兩者邊界主要表徵在文體分類上；及至明清時期，兩者有時含混，叙事與抒情諸要素在此消彼長的同時，竟在某些特定的文類中出現互渗現象。是知，叙事與抒情並非静止而截然二分，兩者邊界一直處於流動變化之中。

From a comprehensive perspective of the development and evolution of Chinese literature, we can see that narration and lyricism have gone through the course of commensalism, divisions, growth and decline, and mutual permeation. The boundary between narration and lyricism is constantly fluxing and changing, without a clear-cut definition. From primitive religions to performative writings such as The Book of Songs, narration and lyricism were originally co-existing. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period and the Han Dynasty, the narration in The Book of Songs began to separate from analogies and symbols. To be more precise, narration …

長慶體、梅村體與“本事詩” : 略論中國詩體的叙事形態, Yinpeng Zhang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

本文以中國詩學中的“赋”、“本事”、“記事”等概念為據，區分了唐人新樂府“諷諫”之旨與元白長慶體“叙事”之旨的不同；又據徐銑《本事詩》，析出長慶體在明代的餘波，以及清初“梅村體”的成功。此體並貫穿於清中葉，直至民初，成為吾國叙事詩的主型。

Based on the concepts of fa, benshi and jishi in Chinese poetry, this paper distinguishes the difference between the purpose of irony of Tang Dynasty’s xin yuefu and the narratives of changqing style by Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi. This paper will further analyze the aftermath of the poetic style of changqing in the Ming Dynasty and the success of the poetic style of meicun in early Qing Dynasty according to Xu Qiu’s benshishi. This poetic style was practiced through the middle of the Qing Dynasty until the early years of the Republic of China, becoming the major style …

杜亞泉的啟蒙理性與生態意識 : 兼及生態時代的東西方文化交流, Shuyuan Lu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

杜亞泉是中國近現代思想史上一位被長期塵封的學者，他不但是一位普及科學、呼籲民主、開發民智、變革社會的“百科全書”式的啟蒙者，同時又是一位尊重自然生命、宣導身心和諧、統整傳统與現代、致力平衡接續發展的卓越思想家。在激進主義潮流的遮蔽下，杜亞泉長期以來被國人遺忘，直到上世紀末纔被“發掘出土”，並受到學界重視。本文試圖立足於啟蒙理性的複雜性、啟蒙人格的多面性，並在與西方啟蒙思想家比較研究的基礎上，悉心探究被衆多論者忽視的杜亞泉啟蒙理性中的生態意識，進而追溯全球生態災難的起因與衍變，探索生態時代東西方文化交流的新維度、新走向，為地球人類樹立生態型世界觀、走出生態困境、創建生態文明提供一點參考意見。

Du Yaquan was a scholar in the history of modem Chinese thought, who has long been neglected and not been rediscovered until recently. He was not only an encyclopedic enlightenment thinker who called for democracy, the development of people’s intelligence, and societal change, but was also an outstanding thinker who respected natural life, advocated for physical and mental harmony, integrated tradition and modernity, and was devoted to balanced and sustainable development. Overshadowed by radical trends, Du has long been forgotten by the Chinese people and was not discovered until the end of the last century. History has proved that …

商盤手批《杜工部集》考辨, Shao-Huang Zeng

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

商盤作為清代著名文學家，有手批《杜工部集》一種，見藏於湖北省圖書館。商盤手批杜詩以朱筆小楷細書，通本滿批，被視為該館重要的珍稀善本之一，向不為學界所瞭解。商盤手批杜詩的内容多係選録清初學者黃生《杜詩説》一書。商盤在選録過程中刻意做了相關“技術性”處理：或删内容以泯其痕跡，或添枝葉以增其繁雜,或拆批語以亂其整體，或移位置以混其視綫，從内容到形式進行改頭换面，頗具迷惑性。商盤手批《杜工部集》保存了黃生《杜詩説》的大部分評點内容，為整理黃生《杜詩説》提供了可資參考的校勘材料；商盤手批杜詩對黃生《杜詩説》的選擇性抄録從一個侧面體現了清初杜詩學的研究風尚，也反映出清代杜詩手批文獻辨偽的艱巨性和複雜性。

In the Qing Dynasty, Shang Pan manually annotated Tu Fu’s Poetry Anthology (杜工部集), which is now stored at Hubei Provincial Library, where it is regarded as one of the most important rare books. However, academia has thus far not paid enough attention to Shang Pan’s annotations. In the process of selecting from Tu fu’s anthology, Shang Pan deliberately made relevant technical changes, including deleting content or adding details to increase the complexity of the anthology. Shang Pan’s changes to the anthology encompass both content and form, which could be confusing for the readers. In fact, Shang Pan’s annotations and …

李兆洛對駢文的重構, Shuangwei Lu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

雖然駢文之實到漢魏已備，但“駢文”之名直到清代纔出現。在嘉道以來駢散不分的文章思潮下，李兆洛通過理論批評及創作駢散合一的文章等，實現了對“駢體文”指向的重構，從而推動了清代駢文創作與理論的新變。他理論上輕視“齊梁體”，推崇“漢魏體”，以此推尊駢文；又在選本上將秦漢具有排偶色彩的文章收入駢體文選本，事實上擴大了駢體文的容量，建構了駢散不分的“漢魏體”駢文。這種駢文追求風骨遒勁，文質相符；多用四言單句，罕用四六隔對；語言清麗，隸事渾融，不重聲律等。這是晚清最受推崇的駢文體式，從而又實現了對清初工整的四六駢體的解構。理解李兆洛對駢文重構的過程和影響，對今天的駢文研究具有重要價值。

Although the format of parallel prose was already established in Han and Wei Dynasties, the official term did not appear until Qing Dynasty. Since the trend of combining parallel prose and prose essay during the reigns of Emperor Jiaqin and Emperor Daoguang, Li Zhaoluo reconstructed the meaning of parallel prose through theoretical criticism and creative writing, and in doing so, innovated both the theory and the writing of parallel prose, In terms of theory, he criticized the parallel prose of Qi-Liang Style and praised the Han-Wei Style. He further added writings with parallel style from Qin and Han dynasties …

"Contextualized Digital Library Evaluation: The Perseus Digital Library Within Theological Research", Paul Hartog

The Christian Librarian

As the development of digital libraries increases, the growth has been accompanied by a refinement of evaluation criteria and methods. Evaluators are increasingly aware that the context of digital library usage (the social, cultural, academic, and institutional environments of the users) is an essential consideration of effective assessment. This article evaluates the Perseus Digital Library through the needs and objectives of a specific learning community – those engaged in theological research. After a review of relevant literature, a rationale is given for ranking ten key facets of digital library evaluation by order of importance. These criteria are then applied to …
