明清筆記小說所見鬥蟋蟀之風, Yee Man Choi

Dissertations from all years

鬥蟋蟀，或鬥促織，民間歷史悠久的搏戲之一。蟋蟀雖小，但魅力遍及各階層。上至皇族高官，下至平民下人，無不著迷，甚至達到沉迷的狀態。玩蟋蟀也由最初一種消閒解悶玩意演變成賭風。文字記載早於唐末五代，深宮婦女養蟋蟀作解悶之用。其後蟋蟀發展成為賭具之一，明清兩代更是鬥蟋蟀的「盛世」。筆記小說言簡意賅，內容上多不拘類別，有聞即錄，包羅萬有，題材涉獵廣，包含天文地理、風俗民情及軼聞軼事。另外不少故事取材於民間，故作品意念、內容不乏真實性，有着真實生活的痕跡。《歷代筆記小說集成·明代筆記小說大觀》及《歷代筆記小說集成·清代筆記小說大觀》有三大優點，分別是收輯齊全、脈絡清晰和注重質量。本文重點選取並分析相關條目，從筆記小說記載的相關事件、人物、社會風氣為佐證，包括擇與「蟋蟀」、「促織」賭風、社會狀況相關者，擬用文本互涉的方式進一步探討鬥蟋蟀之風對明清時期社會、民生的影響，希望能以明清兩朝的時間線歸納出相關影響是由哪些因素促使而成，最後嘗試從條目記載發現與前研究者有別的新線索、新觀點。

論電影《刺客聶隱娘》的創造性背叛, Ho Wai Kan

Dissertations from all years

唐人裴鉶筆下的〈聶隱娘〉，當中的主人公——女俠聶隱娘的身段和形象突出而經典，素來是被文人作家改編的對象。她的身影遍布多個朝代的民間故事。到了二十世紀，侯孝賢遇上了〈聶隱娘〉，其神秘兮兮、來去無踪的形象，促使他及其創作團隊，把〈聶隱娘〉改編為電影《刺客聶隱娘》，講述一個屬於當代人的寫實故事。《刺客聶隱娘》上映距今接近兩年，論述兩個文本相異之處的學術論文猶如雨後春筍，但這些論文多集中於探討電影的拍攝與鏡頭美學、文本內容表面上的異同，及純粹分析歷史的背景，欠缺了對主題改變的探討，而及以歷史為改編基調和形象改變的目的；本文亦以西方理論「創造性背叛」及「誤讀」，探討其改編的過程，這也是本文的研究價值所在之處。

本文主要以四部分分析《刺客聶隱娘》的「創造性背叛」。第一部分為兩個文本的情節，作為分析的引入。第二部分為「創造性背叛」及「誤讀」的定義，「誤讀」概念與「創造性背叛」概念相輔相成，故以此作補充。第三部分為侯孝賢導演的「背叛」動機，以便下文分析《刺客聶隱娘》對〈聶隱娘〉的背叛。第四部分則會分析兩個文本故事背景、主題思想，以及主人公身份形象的相異之處，即背叛的手段，從而完整的探討整個背叛與誤讀的過程。

I Remember It Like This: Essays, Robin C. Lewis

Honors Theses

This thesis is composed of eleven personal essays. As an Environmental Policy senior, I wanted to write down some of my formative stories—not just any stories, but those that may reveal the environmental thread in my life, which, I believe, was somehow instilled in me by my parents. This thread has followed me from Texas to Maine, from childhood to almost twenty-three. It has been supported and tested by various characters along the way, sometimes growing faint, other times stronger. As I prepare for something new, I’ve found it valuable to look back on the people and landscapes and stories …

13_寨城風雲, 賽馬會香港歷史學習計劃

專題展覽

「九龍寨城」曾經是一個神秘的國度，也是罪惡的標籤。是甚麼原因令寨城一直背負著各種污名？寨城裡的人又過著怎樣的生活呢？要查探寨城的真相，必需從歷史中翻尋蛛絲螞跡。

九龍寨城的爭議源於1898年《展拓香港界址專條》裡的一項條文，中英兩國自此為了寨城的治權爭持不下，糾纏了近百年。英國、中國、香港三地政府因此難以在寨城裡執法，以致形成「三不管」的局面，寨城亦變成黃賭毒的集中地。本展覽將由19世紀開始，帶你經歷九龍寨城百多年來的風雨，為你揭開寨城神秘的面紗。

Prince Rogers Nelson: From "Dirty Mind" To Devout Jehovah's Witness, Cassandra Chaney Phd

Faculty Publications

Prince Rogers Nelson (born: June 7, 1958) was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and actor. He was a musical innovator and known for his eclectic work, flamboyant stage presence, extravagant dress and makeup, and wide vocal range. When he passed unexpectedly on April 21, 2016, he had built an immensely successful career that spanned over 30 years. Although Prince is widely known for his highly sexual behavior, we know less about his spiritual beliefs as well as how these beliefs influenced his public persona and private life. Through the lens of social identity theory, this manuscript will examine …

The Double Abcx Model, Family Stress Theory, Risk, Protection, And Resilience In The Movie “Precious”, Cassandra Chaney Phd

Faculty Publications

The critically acclaimed movie Precious [1] highlights the multiple stressors and crises experienced by an abused Black teen female living in poverty. Given its introduction to the screen, scholars have yet to make critical connections between the family dynamics portrayed in this movie and a particular family theory. The purpose of this paper is to help scholars who teach family stress courses apply the experiences of this young woman and her family to McCubbin and Patterson’s [2] Double ABCX Model. Furthermore, this paper will examine the risk factors, the protective factors, and the resilience demonstrated by the movie’s protagonist, Claireece …

Utilizing This New Medium Of Mass-Communication: The Regional Film Distribution Program At The Cleveland Public Library, 1948-1951., Suzanne Marie Stauffer

Faculty Publications

In 1948, the Carnegie Corporation made grants of $25,000 to the Cleveland Public Library and $15,000 to the Missouri State Library to set up 3-year regional educational film distribution programs in northern Ohio and in Missouri. In Cleveland, films were distributed among a consortium of 10 library systems in the region; twenty library systems participated in Missouri. These successful programs served as models for other library systems, and lasted well into the last quarter of the twentieth century, when films in libraries were replaced with videocassettes and later DVDs. This paper explores the antecedents of the program at the Cleveland …

Libraries Are The Homes Of Books: Whiteness In The Construction Of School Libraries, Suzanne Marie Stauffer

Faculty Publications

The bibliographic instructional work, The Children’s Book on How to Use Books and Libraries, issued seven times between 1937 and 1973, utilized the metaphor of the library as the “home of books.” That “home” was constructed as a private, white, middle- class space in which children, who are invited guests, not residents, were expected to behave according to white, middle-class social norms and cultural values. The children depicted were uniformly white, able-bodied, and middle class as well. American cultural values such as individualism, competition, and pragmatism and utilitarianism were celebrated. This work critically analyzes the whiteness of the presentation, including …
