"Andersstreben" And Cross-Media Narrative, Diyong Long May 2019

"Andersstreben" And Cross-Media Narrative, Diyong Long

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The term "Andersstreben" means that a type of medium seeks to imitate the features of another type while keeping its own characteristics. In terms of narrative, "Andersstreben" means cross-media narrative. Regarding fiction that features cross-media narratives, we need to understand both its own medium particularities and the other media properties that it pursues. Only in this way can we better appreciate its aesthetics. Cross-media narratives primarily originate from the mutual imitations between temporal arts and spatial arts, and often achieve magical artistic effects and rich artistic connotations that are otherwise unattainable for literature and arts by simply sticking to their …


Reinterpreting The Concept Of Human In The Pre-Qin Classics Of Literary Theory, Jianzhong Li May 2019

Reinterpreting The Concept Of Human In The Pre-Qin Classics Of Literary Theory, Jianzhong Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In the pre-Qin classics of literary theory, "human" is one of the most important and fundamental concepts. First, the significance of human in the pre-Qin era is diverse. While Confucianism interconnects "human" and "benevolence" and emphasizes the kindhearted dimension of humanity, Taoism, under the slogan that "Man conforms to nature," stresses the unfettered nature of humankind. As an alternative voice, Mohism devalues music and underlines the principle of abstinence. Secondly, the pre-Qin philosophers consider language to be the specialty that distinguishes human beings from other animals. Specifically, Confucians advocate "to achieve glory by writing," "to pass down the classics," and …


Terminological Transformation Of “Literature”: Establishing A New Literature In Modern China, Xinjian Xu May 2019

Terminological Transformation Of “Literature”: Establishing A New Literature In Modern China, Xinjian Xu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Since the transitional period between the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China, literature has been regarded as an efficient instrument to arouse public awareness, to revitalize citizens, and to remold the country in the context of "Western learning spreading to the East." Back then, various reformists and revolutionaries, as well as pioneers of the New Culture Movement, devoted themselves to the enterprise of literature. As a result, literature became a key concept frequently appearing in the Chinese society, followed by a massive occurrence of literary practice throughout the country. As a conceptual product of "Western learning spreading to the …


The "Expropriated" Subject: A Case Study Of The Negative Character Qian Shouwei In "Model Plays", Yihan Chen May 2019

The "Expropriated" Subject: A Case Study Of The Negative Character Qian Shouwei In "Model Plays", Yihan Chen

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

There are a few scholarly interpretations of negative characters in the eight "model plays". Generally, existing scholarship is mainly dominated by two research methodologies: first, the binary of "literature and art" and "politics", "ideology" and "Utopia", and second, the formation of "subject" from the perspective of modernity. The first methodology leads to the conclusion that due to political constraint, the creative characteristic of literature has not caught due attention; while in terms of the second, "the other" becomes a sign in the subject's self-construction. By introducing Agamben's idea of biopolitics, this article re-examines the situation of Qian Shouwei and restores …


The Creation And Performance Of Traditional Chinese Theatre With Modern Themes: Significance, Problems, And Developmental Trajectory, Hengfu Zhu May 2019

The Creation And Performance Of Traditional Chinese Theatre With Modern Themes: Significance, Problems, And Developmental Trajectory, Hengfu Zhu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Traditional Chinese theatre with modern themes stems not only from the aesthetic change of the new era but also from the development of Chinese theatre arts, given that modern themes may be more popularly accepted. This paper proposes three suggestions to improve the creation and performance of traditional Chinese theatre with modern themes: to broaden the concept of the mainstream work to cover any scripts that reflect contemporary patriotism and traditional value of Chinese nation with modern aesthetic pursuits; to modernize the theatre expression with poetic lines and lyrics, visualized stage performance through body and expressions, and contemporary style of …


The Ethics Of Memory In Adorno's Aesthetic Utopia And Its Transform, Wenjun Ding May 2019

The Ethics Of Memory In Adorno's Aesthetic Utopia And Its Transform, Wenjun Ding

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Regarding how art exists after Auschwitz, Adorno argues that the legitimacy of post-war art is based on representing the memory of accumulated intergenerational suffering, which reflects on and criticizes Auschwitz and its roots in modernity with reference to Walter Benjamin's methodology of theological redemption. Memories of sufferings exist in artworks in a constellation-like structure, causing explosive production of meaning and breaking the monopoly of meaning and value by the identity system. With remembrance as the means, art presents the memory of suffering concerning Auschwitz, and offers a new understanding of the development of contemporary capitalism and possibilities for imagining a …


The Historical Genesis And Contemporary Development Of The Theory "Chinese Artistic Spirit" During The Twentieth Century, Shuiping Tao May 2019

The Historical Genesis And Contemporary Development Of The Theory "Chinese Artistic Spirit" During The Twentieth Century, Shuiping Tao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The theory "Chinese artistic spirit" in this article is an important aesthetic trend and literary tradition, which has been lasting over the past hundred years in the study of Chinese aesthetics and literary theory. It has become frequently discussed by scholars in recent years. Considering the fact that existing scholarship is always limited to one of the different aspects, this article aims to promote the study of Chinese art and aesthetic spirit through a holistic theoretical description and illustration of the academic genealogy, historical context, philosophical basis, theoretical connotation, characteristics and value, and the contemporary development of the aesthetic trend …


The Research Style And Original Achievements Of Xu Zhongyu's Theories On Literature And Art, Xishan Zhou May 2019

The Research Style And Original Achievements Of Xu Zhongyu's Theories On Literature And Art, Xishan Zhou

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The 104-year-old Xu Zhongyu, whose academic career of over sixty years has been in tandem with the development of the PRC, has established his distinct style in the theoretical studies of literature and art, namely the combination of theory and practice, of the ancient and the modern, and of inheritance and innovation. His original achievements include initiating the methodology of comprehensively collecting and categorically compiling the materials of ancient Chinese literary theory, raising a series of original and significant academic viewpoints on ancient Chinese literary theory, advocating an interdisciplinary research on the theories of literature and art, envisioning a modern …


The Theoretical Misconceptions And Realistic Choices Of Modern Xiqu Creation: Additionally On The Historical Significance Of Zhang Manjun's New Opera Of Song And Dance, Wei Li May 2019

The Theoretical Misconceptions And Realistic Choices Of Modern Xiqu Creation: Additionally On The Historical Significance Of Zhang Manjun's New Opera Of Song And Dance, Wei Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

There are at least three theoretical misconceptions on the creation of modern xiqu: to consider conventionalization essential to xiqu, to consider typification of roles essential to xiqu, and to consider "xiquness," whose meaning is rather vague, as the creative goal and artistic criterion of xiqu. However, these misconceptions fail to hinder the practical development of modern xiqu creation. Directors like Zhang Manjun have created an innovative genre known as "new opera of song and dance." This maneuver, in fact, signifies a return to the comprehensiveness of traditional xiqu, which, centering on music, features a trinity of poetry, song, and dance. …


Unveiling Aestheticism: Reflections On The Dissemination Of Western Aestheticism In China, Chengyong Jiang, Xiang Ma May 2019

Unveiling Aestheticism: Reflections On The Dissemination Of Western Aestheticism In China, Chengyong Jiang, Xiang Ma

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

For over a hundred years, nineteenth-century Aestheticism's dissemination in China has been insufficiently examined, which leaves the intension and extension of Aestheticism still unclarified even to date. The key to defining Aestheticism is the concept's inherent link to aesthetics, that is, the self-awareness of sensibility, which explains why numerous forms of perceptual knowledge can be intuitively grasped from the works of Western Aestheticism. However, under the influence of natural sciences as well as the industrial and commercial civilization, the target of perceptual knowledge shifted from natural to artificial objects. Through manifesting the diverse forms of perceptual knowledge, Aestheticism conveys the …

Martin Luther King Jr.: The Ideal Medieval Preacher, Chloe Diaz May 2019

Martin Luther King Jr.: The Ideal Medieval Preacher, Chloe Diaz

Andrews Research Conference

When scholars interpret the sermons of Martin Luther King Jr., such as his last sermon, they investigate his delivery of the speech and how it has stood the test of time. A common example is “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” which King delivered on the eve of his death. Many say that he delivered this sermon like it was his last one—as if he were fully aware. Because of scholarship, this sermons has survived, but there is a lens that has not been explored extensively—the influence of medieval rhetorical theory on his scholarship as a theologian. There is a common …
