A Review Of Yan'S, Bao's And The Xies' Poetry And Fang Hui's Poetics Of The Six Dynasties, Houjun Zhao
A Review Of Yan'S, Bao's And The Xies' Poetry And Fang Hui's Poetics Of The Six Dynasties, Houjun Zhao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
A Review of Yan's, Bao's and the Xies' Poetry was written in Fang Hui's old age, which contains his views on the literature of the Six Dynasties. In his review, Fang Hui adopted the Jian'an Style and Jian'an Flavor as the criteria. Jian'an poetry excelled in the poetic style featuring the classic style of qiyun (aura) and wild abandon with strong and vigorous emotions, which were derived from the conviction that verses written in simple style are better than parallel sentences. Besides, writers preferred expressing emotions than depicting scenery. In these aspects, Yan's, Bao's and the Xies' poetry were not …
Explicating The "Meaning Triad" In Lady Welby's Significs, Feng Sun, Youxiang Tu
Explicating The "Meaning Triad" In Lady Welby's Significs, Feng Sun, Youxiang Tu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The purpose of this paper is to explore why the "Meaning Triad" becomes the core concept of the Significs, and reaches the following conclusions: the "Meaning Triad" is the basic theory of Significs, which, as the science of meaning, is the basis of the extension of the Significs's "translative-interpretive" process, the premise that makes the Significs evolved into "the philosophy of Significance", the crux that makes the Significs to restore the link between "mother-sense" and "father-reason", the epitome of the Significs's thinking manner, and the central doctrine of signific education. Assisted by the concept of the "Meaning Triad", Lady Welby's …
International Politics Of Literary Theory: A Study Of Western Theory As Doctrines And A Discipline, Jinghua Lin
International Politics Of Literary Theory: A Study Of Western Theory As Doctrines And A Discipline, Jinghua Lin
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The event of the publication of René Wellek and Austin Warren's Theory of Literature (1949) signals that European literary criticism was transformed rapidly into literary theory by American scholars. To be more specific, from then on, British New Criticism that emphasized close reading was replaced by American New Criticism that valorized analysis of semantic structure, and Russian formalism was rediscovered and reactivated in this process. Afterwards, more theoretical schools sprang up, such as semiotics, structuralism, hermeneutics, post-structuralism, deconstructionism, and so on. And along with the scientific literary theory, many other theories, like Western Marxist criticism, feminism, gender studies, new historicism, …
Shakespeare's "World History": J. G. Herder's "Sturm Und Drang" Drama Theory And The Radical Enlightenment, Qing Feng
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Influenced by Johann Gottfried Herder and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the German "Sturm und Drang" movement regarded William Shakespeare as a model of gifted drama poets. Viewing Shakespeare as a "genius" in imagination for the possible "world history", Herder applied pantheistic philosophy to his drama theory and developed a concept of radical enlightenment. Comparing Herder's view with Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's interpretation of Shakespeare as well as his Aristotelian enlightenment dramatic idea, a great difference can be revealed: Lessing aimed to cultivate civic morality, while Herder intended to evoke the Volk's passion towards freedom and political action.
Was Plato An Art Denier?: Plato's Concept Of Technē (Art) And The Pre-Socratic Philosophy Term Of Phusis (Nature), Dehui Yin
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Since philosophy term technē in ancient Greece is not exactly the same as the concept of art today, it is inaccurate to say that Plato was for or against art, but, at the same time. Plato actually opposed some kind of technē (mainly poetry and painting), and the influence of this stance remained even today. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify which kind of technē Plato exactly opposed. In ancient Greece, it was Plato who firstly proposed technē as a philosophy term on the basis of Pre-Socratic philosophy. So his thought of technē must relate itself to the thought of …
"Qin Virtue" And "Wenxin": Innovation Of Ji Kang's "Qin Fu" Based On Tradition And Its Impact, Zhanyun Song
"Qin Virtue" And "Wenxin": Innovation Of Ji Kang's "Qin Fu" Based On Tradition And Its Impact, Zhanyun Song
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Based on the classic vocabulary of music fu's creative mode in the Han dynasty, Ji Kang's "Qin Fu" integrated the parallel prose and the argumentation into the work of the fu. Ji Kang gave yaqin metaphysical description, thus bringing the qin culture a richer content. He proposed a qin ethics of "peace virtue", which was an innovation based on the music theory tradition of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties. Ji Kang's "Qin Fu" reversed the trend of sadness beauty in the Han dynasty, and reinstated the idea of harmony from traditional Confucian music theory; it dispensed with the Confucian qin …
A Study Of The A-Signifying Semiotics Of Félix Guattari, Shubao Dong
A Study Of The A-Signifying Semiotics Of Félix Guattari, Shubao Dong
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
This paper mainly discusses Guattari's a-signifying semiotics. He opposes Lacan's Structuralist psychoanalysis as well as the tyranny and hegemony of the signifier. By borrowing Hjelmslev's glossematics and Pierce's semiotics, he builds modes of semiotization, and develops the a-signifying semiotics, which offers a new perspective and dimension for the theory of subjectivity and the psychoanalytic criticism, and further forms a schizoanalytic criticism based on the a-signifying semiotics.
Qiyun And Rhythm, Feng Peng
Qiyun And Rhythm, Feng Peng
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Qiyun is an important concept in traditional Chinese aesthetics. From the early 20th century, western sinologists and art historians have been engaged in the translation and interpretation of qiyun and changed its meaning into rhythm. These translations and interpretations have inspired modern Chinese aestheticians to reconsider this concept. Western aestheticians misunderstood qiyun as rhythm, because they have found that both modern Western paintings and traditional Chinese paintings appreciated the rhythm of lines. Nevertheless, qiyun is not rhythm. Rhythm in modern paintings is more akin to xieyi, another important concept of traditional Chinese aesthetics.
A Query About The "Peasant Uprising" And "Driven To Join The Liangshan Rebels" Hypotheses: An Analysis Of The Identities And Occupations Of The Heroes And Their Uprising Causes In Water Margin, Zhaoming Liu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
In the thematic and narrative study of Water Margin, the "Peasant Uprising" and "Driven to Join the Liangshan Rebels" hypotheses, though frequently questioned, still hold unshakable position among works on Chinese Literary History, popular readings and even Chinese language textbooks for high school. In fact, statistics suggest that instead of all the 108 heroes in the story, only 11 were peasants from the angle of big agriculture, and only 9 were compelled to join the Liangshan Rebels. This thesis proposes three interpretations underlying such long-lasting misunderstanding: 1) "Peasant Uprising" and "Driven to Join the Liangshan Rebels" hypotheses greatly overlap with …
Exploring The Lives Of Song Dynasty Women Through Hong Mai's Yijianzhi, Egan Ronald
Exploring The Lives Of Song Dynasty Women Through Hong Mai's Yijianzhi, Egan Ronald
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Yijianzhi is a collection of anecdotes and tales compiled by the Song dynasty literatus Hong Mai. Most of the stories it contains were transmitted orally to Hong Mai by people he knew. Consequently, Hong Mai believed the stories to be reliable accounts of events that had actually happened. This article follows the methods of the British Sinologist Glen Dudbridge in viewing such stories as belonging to medieval China's "vernacular culture." Many of Yijianzhi's stories feature one or another type of women as their protagonist, and so the collection is a valuable source for the study of women of that period. …
From Poetry To Ci: The Misunderstanding Of Genre And Responses To "Jiangnan Spring" In The Ming And Qing Dynasties, Zhibo Tang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Ni Zan, a famous poet living in late Yuan dynasty, wrote two seven-character ancient verses of "Southern Song" and "Jiangnan Spring". Then the two poems were merged into "Jiangnan Spring" and given to his friends as a present. Shen Zhou and other literati in the Wuzhong area began to follow the pattern of "Jiangnan Spring" during the Hongzhi period of the Ming dynasty, treating them as two tunes. During the period of Jiajing, fifty people were involved in the responses and an anthology was complied. The earliest works of Ni Zan and the following responsive verses by Shen Zhou and …
Imagery In Chuang Tzu From The Perspective Of Pictorial-Linguistic Semiotics, Zhaohui Bao
Imagery In Chuang Tzu From The Perspective Of Pictorial-Linguistic Semiotics, Zhaohui Bao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
This article tries to investigate the representation of the world from Chuang Tzu's language, and also to examine the ground on which Chuang Tzu's language activities contain imagery. It argues that Chuang Tzu represented the world by visualizing Tao, or the Way. The fact that literature is a form of language art provides help for describing the visualization of the world. Therefore, this determines that Chuang Tzu employs imagery for expression. Chuang Tzu gives prominence to the poetic function rather than referential function in his language during the process of linguistic expression. Such a feature emphasizes the poetic turn of …
The Combination Of Emotions And Things In Traditional Chinese Poetics, Guikui Li
The Combination Of Emotions And Things In Traditional Chinese Poetics, Guikui Li
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
From a series of theoretical summaries based on creative practice, such as "expressing sentiment in response to objects or things", "revealing emotions in narratives" and "integration of emotions and things", it is easy to find that traditional Chinese poetics contains a set of combination of "emotion" and "things". The idea of "emotions arising from felt things" is deeply rooted in traditional Chinese poetics. Accordingly, scholars gradually realized that there should be "things" first, then "emotions". In other words, emotions are caused by things, and narratives are the basic and necessary means of lyric expression. Based on this, Wei Tai in …
The Genealogy Of Affect Theory, Qianyue Liu
The Genealogy Of Affect Theory, Qianyue Liu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Affect theory emerged in the late twentieth century as a theoretical trend in the study of "affective turn" in Western humanities. Affect theory, focused on the complex narratives of affect history, is an alternative paradigm to the one which is based on the rhetoric and semiotics in the 1990s. Research on affect theory began as Spinoza, and Deleuze developed it into an important concept of subjectivity generation. In this philosophical context, the theory of affect evolved along two theoretical paths. The ontological path from Spinoza to Deleuze continued with Masumi. The other path, which was the feminist path, was initiated …
An Exploration Of Literary Mimesis Through The Perspective Of Mirror Neurons, Huibin He
An Exploration Of Literary Mimesis Through The Perspective Of Mirror Neurons, Huibin He
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Mirror neurons are discovered by Italian scientists Giacomo Rizzolatti and his colleagues, which are not only active while people are acting, but also active when they are observing others' action. Mirror neurons, which imitate the action of others just like mirrors, can lead to "motor equivalence" between readers and characters. Human imitation, which is often accompanied by anthropocentrism and egocentrism, can be divided into simple ones and complex ones, and can also be divided into imitation of content and imitation of form. Mimesis, which traditionally means the writer's imitation of the world, can by extended into the field of the …
Criticism, Rebellion And Adaptation: Multi-Dimensional Construction Of Discourse Of Remarks And Interpretation On Amorous Poems, Xiao Xiong
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The formation of the concept "amorous poem" related to the semantic meaning of the character "yan" (glamorous) , and both of them were constructed as typical negative images due to their implicit "dangerous factors" in the cultural context of the past. These critical discourses thus set the tone of remarks on amorous poems, and the connotation of amorous poems thence showed a clearly ideological implication. But two new types of discourse in the remarks on amorous poems emerged in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. One emphasized the independent significance and value by the theory of "emotion-rootedness", and constituted a discourse …
From "Phenomenological Body" To "Reversible Flesh": The Transformation Of Merleau-Ponty's Aesthetic Theory, Zhifeng Shu
From "Phenomenological Body" To "Reversible Flesh": The Transformation Of Merleau-Ponty's Aesthetic Theory, Zhifeng Shu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Merleau-Ponty's philosophical thinking is also aesthetics. Such an openness is vital for him, since it concerns the sensitivity and becoming of selfhood philosophy, without being trapped in the dilemma in traditional philosophy. With the transition from the "phenomenological body" to the "reversible flesh" in his philosophy, Merleau-Ponty' aesthetics shifts from perception and sensibility to ontology and "element". In his early works Cézanne's Doubt, Indirect Language and The Voice of Silence, and late work Eye and Mind, painting is always central to Merleau-Ponty's aesthetic thinking, because the pure "vision" in painting refers to the visual dimension that is ignored and marginalized …
From The Vernacular To Colloquial: A Reflective Approach To Modern Poetry Over The Past Century, Siyun Zhao
From The Vernacular To Colloquial: A Reflective Approach To Modern Poetry Over The Past Century, Siyun Zhao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
From the establishment of vernacular poetry to the boom of colloquial poetry in the 1980s, the development of Chinese poetry suffered from the vicissitudes and challenges brought by wars and political changes. And this becomes an approach to reflect on modern poetry over the past century. Vernacular poetry was given birth by force under the great impact of the western discourse and the great demands for huge social changes, and was guided by historical evolutionism and instrumental rational thinking, hence vernacular poetry's born deficiencies. And later it was deformed and finally reduced into verbal violence due to harsh war environment …
Integration And Innovation: The Construction Of The Aesthetics Of Poetry For The Future, Also On The Relationship Between Traditional Poetics And Modern Poetics, Lvkun Zhang, Shiyi Wei
Integration And Innovation: The Construction Of The Aesthetics Of Poetry For The Future, Also On The Relationship Between Traditional Poetics And Modern Poetics, Lvkun Zhang, Shiyi Wei
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Modern poetry has a history of more than one hundred years, during which period China's social form and cultural symptoms have undergone significant changes. Centering on the inheritance and rebellion of traditions, the development of modern poetry is essentially categorized within the construction of new "tradition", no matter how it assumes social responsibilities of materialization, or turns into "modernity" affected by Western cultures. It is expected that modern poetry and poetics get their legitimacy through practice in the real world situation, on the basis of an integrative vision and an open historical context of the era which brings opportunities as …
Opportunities And Challenges: Reflections On The Cultural Situation And Destiny Of Modern Poetry In The Past Century, Guoming Yin
Opportunities And Challenges: Reflections On The Cultural Situation And Destiny Of Modern Poetry In The Past Century, Guoming Yin
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
"Modern Poetry" has been around for a century since the publication of On Literary Improvement written by Hu Shi in 1917. However, the situation of today's poetry seems less satisfactory considering its influence on people's everyday life or the performance of its creation, which would even raise doubt on modern poetry's future. Undoubtedly, as an expression and accumulation of traditional artistic spirit, poetry functions as cohesion and inheritance of traditional Chinese aesthetic consciousness and artistic spirit. The development, change and innovation of poetry not only provide reference, resources and vitality for literary creation and theory constantly, but also function as …
Reflections On Structuralist Narratology, Shouyi Jiang
Reflections On Structuralist Narratology, Shouyi Jiang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The rise of structuralist narratology has its theoretical source and theoretical prelude. Its theoretical source includes Saussure's concern of the language and Russian formalism's attention to "form". Its theoretical prelude includes the concern of 'perspective' in the U. K. and the USA, the contribution to novel theory, Propp's Morphology of the Folktale and the study of Lévi-Strauss's structure anthropology. After the preparations of the above theories, structuralist narratology emerged in France which developed into three research approaches: focusing on the story structure, focusing on the composition system of works and focusing on the function of the narrator. Though each approach …
The Epistemological Attributes Of Literary Theories, Jianchang Xing
The Epistemological Attributes Of Literary Theories, Jianchang Xing
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Literary theories are epistemological truth/prescriptions or principles on literature. The reception of literature calls for not only implicit understandings so as to achieve its realization in individuals, but also a reinvention in the epistemological arena, e. g. a rational construction concerning the interactions between literature and society, cognition as well as ideology. The major epistemological attributes of literary theories are being non-empirical, describable, interpretative and parasitic. Literary theories are non-empirical knowledge, because their major concerns are human souls, values and significances; literary theories are describable knowledge because as reflections on literature and related areas, they are conveyed by languages, which …
Three Meanings Of Moderation: The Effective Integration Of Literary Aesthetics And Ethic Politics As A Practice Of Rhetoric Politics, Fengjie Liu, Tiange Fan
Three Meanings Of Moderation: The Effective Integration Of Literary Aesthetics And Ethic Politics As A Practice Of Rhetoric Politics, Fengjie Liu, Tiange Fan
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
As a theory of artistic style within the domain of political cultivation, moderation is both the result and rhetorical practice of Confucian ethics and authoritarian politics. Moderation forms its own systemic characteristics, namely, roundabout admonishment in terms of rhetorical strategies, aesthetics of harmony regarding aesthetic taste, and a lyrical principle of starting with genuine feelings and stopping with good manners. However, after the May 4th Movement, it was replaced by the creation principle of "starting with genuine feelings, and ending with genuine feelings".
What's Wrong With Star Wars, Star Trek And Žižek?: A Marxist Analysis, Gregory Mahoney Josef
What's Wrong With Star Wars, Star Trek And Žižek?: A Marxist Analysis, Gregory Mahoney Josef
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Star Trek and Star Wars are two of the most popular science fiction franchises in commercial history. This essay examines these two franchises from a critical Marxist perspective. Both offer fantastic visions of human development, which I will argue prove all too familiar to the reified consciousnesses of contemporary consumers. How and why do these films appeal, and how do they repackage the "end of history" in ways that normalize current logics of hegemony for a future that remains founded, nevertheless, on forms of injustice and commodity fetishism as familiar to us now as they were to Marx in the …
Our Modernity: The Cross-Cultural Potential Of Chinese Scholarship, Yiqing Liu
Our Modernity: The Cross-Cultural Potential Of Chinese Scholarship, Yiqing Liu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The issues of "how the west understands China" and "how China understands China" have been the two sides of the same coin in the global scholarship. Both China and the West are trapped by the same issue of understanding China, because modern Chinese social structure and basic aspects of mentality are shaped by modernity, and China and the west are equally confronted by the challenges of modernity under the circumstances of globalization. Chinese modernity came into being due to the western impact, and consequently Chinese tradition has become the Other for contemporary China, which means that there is a gap …
Aesthetic Experience Of Semir Zeki, "Father Of Neuroaesthetics", And Related Research, Jun Hu
Aesthetic Experience Of Semir Zeki, "Father Of Neuroaesthetics", And Related Research, Jun Hu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Based on neural mechanism of the brain, Professor S. Zeki, known as the "father of neuroaesthetics", has made much research on human vision, aesthetic experience, aesthetic judgment, and the relationship between aesthetics and human perception, like that of color, form, and motion. This article analyzes Zeki's research on aesthetic experience and expounds how Zeki, through brain fMRI (functional magnetic resonance) scan, discovered that aesthetic experience can activate certain area of brain – A1 region of the medial orbitofrontal cortex (mOFC). On this basis, the article not only discusses the definition of beauty, but also differentiates aesthetic experience from pleasure experience …

Digital Humanistic Transformation Of World Literature, Distance Reading And Literary Criticism: Franco Moretti's Evolution Logic Of Literary Theory, Xiaohui Chen
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Franco Moretti is one of the most controversial scholars of world literature today. Compared with others', his world literature is not of "substantive existence", but of "conceptual existence". From the perspective of conception, Moretti regards world literature as a holistic thinking mode of dealing with the evolution of literature in the era of globalization, and it is also the problem itself that needs new critical methods to solve. As a solution to the problems of world literature by Moretti, "distant reading" symbolizes the paradigm revolution of reading objects, reading subjects and reading methods with its "second-hand reading", large-scaled reading, collaborative …
Knowledge Production And Canonization Of Modern Chinese Poetry: Selected Modern Chinese Poetry (1919-1949) In Historical Perspective, Chang’An Fang
Knowledge Production And Canonization Of Modern Chinese Poetry: Selected Modern Chinese Poetry (1919-1949) In Historical Perspective, Chang’An Fang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Selected Modern Chinese Poetry (1919-1949), edited by Zang Kejia and published in 1956 by China Youth Press, is the first and one of the most important anthologies of modern poetry in China since 1949. For literary construction in modern China, its preface, "An Outline of the Development of Modern Chinese Poetry since the 'May Fourth Movement'", has reconstructed the history of the development of modern Chinese poetry from 1919 to 1949, which saw anti-imperialistic and anti-feudalistic themes highlighted and realism become the mainstream. Because the editor used it as a historical framework and discourse basis to break through the existing …
Musicalization: Xu Zhimo's Poetic Aesthetics, Liming Chen
Musicalization: Xu Zhimo's Poetic Aesthetics, Liming Chen
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Apart from its shallow poetic imagery due to the vernacular and transparent language, a main reason why the New Poetry has been widely criticized since the May 4th Movement lies in the lack of musicality, more obvious when compared with Chinese classical poetry. But Xu Zhimo is an exception in that he made some effective and innovative transformation of the musicality of the poetry both at home and abroad by means of an integration of reading, translation and writing. It is therefore argued that musicality has characterized the most important features of his poetry, which is most obviously manifested as …
