Zamzaroo, Zarang, And The Rabbit Men, Adan Mulvaney

Conspectus Borealis

This short fiction story is the tale of a grandfather, his rabbit, and his adopted granddaughter. This story was originally inspired when I heard the story of a suicidal rabbit. The rabbit never ran away from loud or scary noises. By ignoring his innate survival instincts, he was essentially inviting death. I found it intriguing how stagnancy can be a form of death. Though the story itself is fiction, some of the events that happened to the characters actually happened to people surrounding me. It is my hope that after reading this story, the reader can appreciate how peculiar and …

On Xu Zhongyu's Thoughts Of College Chinese Education, Huaping Cheng

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

As a pioneer in the reintroduction of college Chinese courses in the 1980s, Xu Zhongyu, after many years of exploration, established college Chinese as a course based on the unity of the humanistic and the instrumental, with focus on cultivating and enhancing the humanistic literacy and language skills of college students. Through teaching selected essays in the textbook, he intended to subtly cultivate student's sentiments, independent thinking and critical spirit. Xu Zhongyu emphasized students' writing training by advocating the study of exemplary texts in order to make students comprehend their artistic achievement and borrow their creative methods. Through extensive writing …

From Function To Semantics: History And Theories Of The Picture Frame, Yuan Gao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

As a key element linking art history and art theory, the frame inherently has both historical and theoretical implications; its historical transformation, either in form or conceptualization, is inextricably linked to methodologies and theoretical discourses in art history. This study begins with the historical transformation of a form and its function, and discusses, combining the discourse of various theorists, the generation and development of the picture frame, especially its application to art history. It also introduces theoretical perspectives from the twentieth century on the shift and interdisciplinary significance of the concept of the picture frame in the field of visual …

Li Bai's "Twelve Imitations Of The Old Poems" And Its Image Construction, Yinan Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Li Bai's cycle of poems "Twelve Imitatations of the Old Poems" is an imitation of "Nineteen Old Poems". It was preceded by Lu Ji's method of imitating other texts and could be seen as part of the practice of imitating older poems from the Six Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty. Li Bai's imitations are richer both in "images" and "implications" than those in the imitated poems, perhaps because he borrowed some techniques from the Qi and Liang Dynasties to enhance the traditional modes of conveying and inspiring, and Li Bai tried to combine expressionist and representational techniques to demonstrate the …

A Methodological Exploration Into The Conceptual History Of Style As Key Concept In Art History, Ting Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

"Style" is a key concept in modern art history. Its rich implications and inherent contradictions, however, make its connotation ambiguous. By way of examining the birth, development and evolvement of this concept in art criticism, this paper tries to expose the meaning of style which shifts from "maniera" to "stile," and describe its constant transformation in the evolving history of style. The analysis in the paper shows that it is the rich connotation and evolution of style that makes the history of style a dominant paradigm in the construction of traditional Western art history, while the dilemma that the history …

A Study On "Standardizing By Chinese Characters" In Zhang Taiyan's On National Learning, Xuehu Chen

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Building on the foundation of traditional philology (xiaoxue) and extending to multiple schools of thought, Zhang Taiyan's work On National Learning is a very important work in Chinese intellectual history. The seven essays on literature in its middle volume, which address such issues as literary and cultural traditions situated between the study of Chinese characters and philosophy, play a key role in the mainstream study of literature and culture. This article analyzes Zhang's idea of "writing based on Chinese characters" and his principle of "standardizing by Chinese characters" in literary criticism, as well as their significance to and function in …

Beginning, Elaboration, And Counterpoint: The Intention And Method Of Edward Said's Music Criticism, Sheng Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

As an important part of Edward Said's critical practice, music criticism, on the one hand, inherits critical methods from Beginnings, Orientalism, Humanism and Democratic Criticism; on the other hand, it resists these methods due to music's semantic ambiguity. In this interaction between acceptance and resistance, Said develops his unique music criticism based on the concept of elaboration. Specifically, he acknowledges the dynamic relationships between history and subject, world and text, original work and criticism, politics and aesthetics, before contrapuntally interpreting these concepts in a detailed and unprejudiced way. In doing so, his elaborations on music not only activate subject, text, …

Confrontation With The Unconscious: A Reading Of C. G. Jung's The Red Book, Jianchang Xing

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The Red Book is the most difficult work among the oeuvre of C. G. Jung (1875-1961), and it is Jung's "self-experiment" on his "inner images" from 1913 to 1930, a "personal diary" written to himself, and a psychological work on literary themes. It "contains the nucleus of" and is "the key" to Jung's later works. The theme of the book is an exploration of the "the spirit of the depths" and the exertion of "refinding the soul" by means of images or metaphors rather than logical thinking and intellectual intervention. Jung held that "the spirit of the times" seemed powerful, …

In so doing, he revisits the founding fathers of cultural studies and points to a radical utopia by defamiliarizing the naturalness of the here and now.

Literary Theory Should Adapt Itself To The Times: On Prof. Xu Zhongyu's View Of Literature And Art, Fengjie Liu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The paper maintains that the emergence of aesthetic reflection theory in China was largely the contribution of Prof. Xu Zhongyu as the result of his respect to and explorations into the artistic law of literary creation. Prof. Xu first incorporated the notion that "literature is the study of man" into the literary theory course books in China and demonstrated the profound interconnection between literature, humanity and humanitarianism. He also stressed the unique greatness of Chinese literature and anticipated the advent of "the paragon of the writing in the world". Prof. Xu devoted himself to the establishment of modern and contemporary …

On Anti-Conventionality And Limitation Of Non-Fictional Writing, Zhigang Hong

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Non-fiction Writing is not a particular genre, but a narrative strategy with anti-conventional characteristics. It relies heavily on the specific value of the subject matter itself and the subjective thinking of the writer, and thus makes it difficult to take into account the inherent artistic value of the work per se. Throughout the process from identifying the subject matter to narrating, the writer is an ever-present figure, providing irrefutable facts for the narrative. However, the ever-presence of the writer also leads to the fragmentation of the narrative and the silhouette effect of characters. Such a way of writing, which lays …

On The Perspectives Of Gender Representation And Ethical Contradiction In Women's Self-Portraits, Chenguang Ling

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Concerns with and reflections on self-portraits afford a perspective to glimpse numerous dimensions in social and cultural issues, including gender representation. Self-portrait is a record of the result of self-presentation. As a special artistic style, women's self-portraits have distinctive images and implications, and are irreplaceable in the consideration of gender issues. Women's self-portraits demonstrate female artists' unique pursuit in the constructions of self-image, performances of interpersonal relationship, and means of expression. Female artists' special connection to mirrors during the process of self-portrayal and their reflection on this relationship are an important approach to understand feminist ideas. The contradictions and conflicts …

Reconsideration Of Humanism And Literature, Gong Zhang, Yuneng Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The issue of "humanism and literature" was once a forbidden area in Chinese literary theory. After the Reform and Opening-up, the emancipation of mind promoted the breakthrough in this forbidden zone and launched an in-depth discussion to bring order out of chaos and clarify the source of such thoughts. It not only did justice to the humanistic thought in modern Western literature and art, but also re-evaluated the "human literature" and "humanistic literature" in the May Fourth new literature and literary theory. It enabled fair evaluations of the view that "literature is a study of humanity" and played an important …

The Art Of Guan Hanqing's Dramaturgic Structure, Jianzhong Xu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The 15 existing plays by the Yuan-Dynasty playwright Guan Hanqing reflect the playwright's originality in processing subject matter through transformation of conventional themes and his realistic concerns with profound thoughts. Guan Hanqing's plays, literally variety dramas in Chinese, demonstrate a variety of structural types with different dramaturgic techniques. The plot from suspense, misunderstanding, and discovery to return is well adapted into plays with each act comprising two sections, and this greatly promotes the expressiveness of the plays. His story is strengthened by his thoughtful construction of plot with added sections that broke through the "one-play-of-four-act" convention. In Guan's ingenious casting, …

The Body And Its Theoretical Problems In Virtual Art Experience: An Investigation Based On Physical Practice In Vr Films, Xiaoxi Shan, Xueli Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The mode of typical interactive experience comes into being in virtual art activities represented by VR films. According to the degrees of "freedom" of the experiencer's body, the interactive experience of VR films can be divided into three types: three-dimensional freedom, six-dimensional freedom, and multi-dimensional freedom. In different types of interactive activities, technology extends to body, and body assimilates technology to makes it function as body, which gives rise to the "technical embodiment"; in the meantime, consciousness rests on body and body covers consciousness, which gives rise to the "conscious embodiment". With the increase of body's freedom, "technical embodiment" and …
