A Concise Consideration On The Legal Status Of Taiwan For Japan From The Perspective Of The Customary International Law Of Recognition, Hiroshi Saito
A Concise Consideration On The Legal Status Of Taiwan For Japan From The Perspective Of The Customary International Law Of Recognition, Hiroshi Saito
Japanese Society and Culture
Taiwan is one of the most important entities for Japan in the international relations and history. Beijing government has emphasized “One-China Policy” and doesn’t recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state until the present. The issue, whether Taiwan is a de jure state, is a legal issue for only Japan based on the international legal systems of recognition and treaty. In those systems, it is evident for Japan that two peace treaties exist until the present with the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China. The existence of two treaties means that two sovereign states who did battle against …
Art As The Foundation Of History: On The Historical Dimension Of Heidegger's Art Criticism, Congcong Song
Art As The Foundation Of History: On The Historical Dimension Of Heidegger's Art Criticism, Congcong Song
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
In the latest years, the debate between Heidegger and Schapiro on Van Gogh's Shoes has received considerable attention among the Chinese scholars. Despite the controversy over Heidegger's interpretation of the painting, scholars have reached an agreement that Heidegger's art criticism derives from his philosophy of art and therefore lacks the insight of art history abundant in Schapiro's scholarship. This assertion, to a certain extent, misunderstands Heidegger's thought. This paper argues that Heidegger's art criticism also contains a historical dimension, for he not only investigates art history but also pays close attention to the relationship between art and history. The difference, …
Collected Essays Of The Qing Dynasty And The Concept Of Literary History In The Early Twentieth Century, Hengchang Chang
Collected Essays Of The Qing Dynasty And The Concept Of Literary History In The Early Twentieth Century, Hengchang Chang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Dedicated to "preserving the essence of Chinese culture," Collected Essays of the Qing Dynasty was collaborated by many scholars, among whom Huang Ren possibly undertook the bulk of compilation. Known for its extensiveness, this anthology also features an author-centered editorial style inherited from Collected Poetry of the Ming Dynasty and possesses its unique characteristics. First, it incorporates the most recent articles to refresh the collection. Secondly, it achieves a balance between political practicality and aesthetic quality. Lastly, it encompasses copious articles on frontier geo-history and native-soil literature, which manifests the editors' conscious awareness of academic history. In general, the compilation …
Enlightenment Of "Affection": The Inner Construction And Historical Significance Of The Origin Of Lu Xun's Literary, Cheng Luo
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The research on "the May Fourth Movement" represented by Lu Xun studies needs an urgent shift from current paradigms that have been used over the past three decades. An interpretive framework that organically combines humanity with literature needs to be constructed so as to enrich the understanding of history by focusing on literature, instead of making literature history's footnote. In 1908, Lu Xun published five articles in the classical Chinese language, in which he in fact provided an inner vision of an alternative experience of art and literature, which differed from existing discussions that were mainly from a "logocentric" perspective. …
Renewing The Centurial Discourse Of Chinese Literary Theory Through The Genealogy Of Spirit: Case Study Of Zong Baihua And Li Changzhi, Yunyan Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
A disparity exists between the first and the revised edition of Zong Baihua's The Birth of Chinese Artistic Conception. Adopting a comparative methodology, the revised edition highlights the spiritual dimension of artistic conception. When Zong Baihua regards artistic conception as "incarnation of the supreme human mind," the word "incarnation" is more than a metaphor for an aesthetic expression; it also gestures at a deep meaning of religious spirit. "Symbol" is one of the ways to actualize such incarnation. Influenced by Zong's theorization of religious spirit, Li Changzhi's literary theory and aesthetical thinking further shows a modern Chinese genealogy of spirit …
The Genesis Of Wang Guowei's Theory Of "Jingjie", Zhi Geng, Pengcheng Kou
The Genesis Of Wang Guowei's Theory Of "Jingjie", Zhi Geng, Pengcheng Kou
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
There are three main methods in studying Wang Guowei's theory of "jingjie" (artistic conception) — a study based on Western knowledge, a historical study within the Chinese academic tradition, and a comparative study between the West and China. However, all these three methodologies treat jingjie as a static concept with presupposed connotation, which derives from a disjunction between their interpretative approach and the construction of Wang Guowei's jingjie. The idea of jingjie is an organic and dynamic theoretical system that takes both Western philosophy and Chinese literary theory as its premise, complicated by Wang's own creative and reading experiences, and …
Habermas And Hermeneutics: From Verstehen To Lebenswelt, Wolin Richard
Habermas And Hermeneutics: From Verstehen To Lebenswelt, Wolin Richard
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Throughout his career, Habermas sought to remain faithful to the idea of a non-dogmatic and reflexive Marxism – Marxism as "critique." Although Habermas never adopted the framework of social phenomenology per se, by the same token, his reception of the later Husserl's notion of the lifeworld would play a central methodological role in his later work, enabling him to parry the well-entrenched scientistic biases of philosophy and social science. In "Knowledge and Human Interests" (1965), his inaugural lecture at University of Frankfurt, Habermas embraced Husserl's critique of modern science's misguided "mathematicization of nature." Yet his systematic employment of Husserl would …
A Probe Into The Conceptual Framework And Mechanism For Writing In Vernacular Chinese During The May Fourth Period: Focusing On The Three Schemes Proposed In New Youth, Wei Deng
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The magazine New Youth publishes three systematic schemes for vernacular Chinese during the May Fourth Period, and they were proposed by described by Qian Xuantong, Liu Bannong and Fu Sinian to clarify, sort out and write down the views on the reforms on Chinese language. These schemes, to a considerable extent, define the appearance of modern vernacular Chinese, and the approach to transform the existing vernacular written Chinese through "Europeanization" and to achieve an ambiguity-free language for the practical needs in social communications results in the so-called "Europeanized Vernacular Language." The new vernacular Chinese functions to enhance cultural solidarity interrelate …
A Semantic Analysis Of Kant's Judgment Of Taste, Shuangyu Xue
A Semantic Analysis Of Kant's Judgment Of Taste, Shuangyu Xue
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
A typical judgment of taste could be expressed as a subject-predicate structure in Critique of the Power of Judgment. The subject is connected with the predicate by a copula. In the third Critique, however, Kant grounds his theory of taste on the first Critique, from which his views and conceptual apparatus of epistemology have been transferred to a new aesthetic context, and interpreters are inclined to investigate Kant's theory of taste by virtue of his epistemology. It is common, if also necessary, to conduct in studies of the third Critique a semantic analysis of judgement of taste by referring to …
Does Lu Xun Subvert The Discourse Of National Character?, Dongfeng Tao
Does Lu Xun Subvert The Discourse Of National Character?, Dongfeng Tao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The author tries to elucidate his views on the debate concerning national character by responding to He Yugao and Liu He's related papers. Firstly, the author disagrees with He Yugao's argument that Liu He fails to criticize Lu Xun by pointing out Liu's denial of Lu Xun's artistic creativity. Liu's denial is shown in herrepeated highlight of the dominating impact from the missionary discourse of national character and she goes even further to claim that Lu Xun's Ah Q "gives a verbatim performance" of the national character script. Secondly, the author rebuts Liu's claim that critics in line with Lu …
Keywords In The Studies Of Regional Literature: A Case Study Of Jiangnan In The Qing Dynasty, Shining Luo
Keywords In The Studies Of Regional Literature: A Case Study Of Jiangnan In The Qing Dynasty, Shining Luo
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The study of regional literature is attracting wide attention, which attests to its validity. Researches have flourished in this field in recent years, but problems have also arisen, such as similar or identical cognition, expression and conclusions between researches. The study of regional literature often has implicit value-orientation, which, to a large extent, tends to simplify the thinking process and undermine academic significance. In order to change the homogenizing tendency, researchers need to know commonalities, divergences, and particularities. Besides, as every event occurs in a specific geographical space, researchers should also value the possibilities of regional literature studies from the …
Kuang Zhouyi's Monthly Lessons For The Annotation Of Cheng Meng'an's Ci-Poems: A Summary Review, Yuping Peng
Kuang Zhouyi's Monthly Lessons For The Annotation Of Cheng Meng'an's Ci-Poems: A Summary Review, Yuping Peng
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Learning how to compose ci-poems was an essential part of ci-poetry study. Therefore, revision and annotation played a very important part in ci-poetry learning, which was mainly conducted in two ways: the author's self-revision and discussion with teachers and friends. During the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, it was a fashion among young people to study ci-poems personally with a master, and thus the practice and theory of ci-poetry revision matured. A representative master in this period was Kuang Zhouyi. His monthly lessons for the revision of Cheng Meng'an's ci-poems in 1923-1924, which are still extant, …
On The Possibilities, Construction, And Functions Of Trauma Narratives, Weihua He
On The Possibilities, Construction, And Functions Of Trauma Narratives, Weihua He
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Trauma narratives are made possible by the "traces" left by traumatic events. These narratives are not only therapeutic, but can also provide an access to historical reality. In recent years, critics begin to switch their attention from individual traumas to collective traumas. According to them, collective traumas not only affect people's identification with the community, but also play important roles in the formation, maintenance, and consolidation of the community. Due to the shaping influence of collective traumas, different forms of power are woven into the representation of trauma, making the representation of trauma a product of cultural construction. In the …
Reconsidering Yan Shu's "Worldly-Wise And Self-Preserving" Personality, Mingzhen Shao
Reconsidering Yan Shu's "Worldly-Wise And Self-Preserving" Personality, Mingzhen Shao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Ouyang Xiu once evaluated his teacher, Yan Shu, with a verse, "Fifty years of affluence and leisure, always worldly-wise and self-preserving." However, the expression of "worldly-wise and self-preserving" has been misinterpreted as a criticism and further regarded as Ouyang Xiu's final evaluation of Yan Shu. In fact, neither "affluence and leisure" nor "worldly-wise and self-preserving" has derogatory meaning back then. On the philological level, "worldly-wise and self-preserving" (mingzhe baoshen) originates in The Book of Songs and is recognized by Zhu Xi as an accomplishment. In its original sense, people who are worldly-wise and self-preserving not only devote themselves to state …
Schematizing Without A Concept: Kant On The Harmony Of Imagination And Understanding, Wei Li
Schematizing Without A Concept: Kant On The Harmony Of Imagination And Understanding, Wei Li
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Kant's theory of the harmony of imagination and understanding either leads to an inconsequent claim that "everything is beautiful" or fails to ensure the universal validity of judgements of taste. This paper proposes to approach the dilemma by way of Kant's notion of "idea—schema—the-expression-of-the-idea" developed in "Appendix to the Transcendental Dialectic," interpreting the text from a noncognitive-idealist approach. This approach starts with Kant's "schematizing without a concept," claiming that this "schematizing without a concept" is an indeterminate schematization, and thus initiates a noncognitive-idealist interpretation of the harmony of imagination and understanding. This approach, on the one hand, solves the problem …
The Birth Of The Modern Discipline Of Literary And Art Theory During The Period Of The May Fourth Movement, Zhixiang Qi
The Birth Of The Modern Discipline Of Literary And Art Theory During The Period Of The May Fourth Movement, Zhixiang Qi
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The period around the May Fourth Movement, specifically from 1915 to 1927, saw the birth of the modern Chinese discipline of literary and art theory. This article, on the basis of Huang Chanhua's An Introduction to Fine Arts, Xu Qingyu's Philosophy of Beauty, Xu Weinan's Philosophy of Arts, Liu Yongji's On Literature, Pan Zinian's An Introduction to Literature, Ma Zonghuo's An Introduction to Literature, Shen Tianbao's An Introduction to Literature, and Tian Han's An Introduction to Literature, explores the historical situation of the construction of the discipline of philosophy of art, the first stage in the history of modern Chinese …
The Decline And Reconstruction Of "Poetic" Text In Chinese "Renaissance", Changsheng He
The Decline And Reconstruction Of "Poetic" Text In Chinese "Renaissance", Changsheng He
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
To compare China's New Cultural Movement to Europe's Renaissance aims at finding a totalizing Chinese form of "speech/writing" that may be equivalent to the Western counterpart, and the way to achieve it is to build on the transformation of language from classical Chinese to vernacular as a breakthrough. However, the long-established "lyrical" tradition in Chinese literature and the genre system which orthodoxizes poetry have no capacity to endow a spiritual form that can correspond to the narrative of the modern. The Vernacular Poetry fails to extend the tradition of poeticization in Chinese literature and to appropriate the specific truth-pursuing function …
The Everlasting Voyage Of Heteronymy: Badiou's Discussion About Pessoa And Plato, Huan Wang, Jiang Lan
The Everlasting Voyage Of Heteronymy: Badiou's Discussion About Pessoa And Plato, Huan Wang, Jiang Lan
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Through his analysis, Badiou discovers that the "heteronymy" thoughts in Pessoa's poems reflect his anti-Platonic tendency. Despite this, Badiou also notices the entangled connections between Pessoa's poems and Platonism. In fact, the modernity of Pessoa lies in his ambivalent position between Platonism and anti-Platonism; the task for contemplation poetry is not to pledge loyalty to Platonism or anti-Platonism. Instead, we should follow the poetic path opened up by Pessoa and create a philosophy about heterogeneity, void and infinity.

The Inheritance And Innovation Of Chinese Creation Culture, Ning Guan
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
As an integral part of human civilization relative to spiritual culture; creation culture plays an important role in national image building.

The Unfinished Theoretical System Of Modernism: Origins In The Forms Of Knowledge, Xiaoming Yi
The Unfinished Theoretical System Of Modernism: Origins In The Forms Of Knowledge, Xiaoming Yi
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The theoretical system of Modernism remains unfinished. This is due to the unstable nature of the concept of Modernism and its complicated relationship with Modernity. More importantly, although Modernism has developed into a new type of arts in the technological context, the current perception of Modernism remains within the old humanist knowledge framework and lacks a dimension of technological knowledge. For this reason, we need to turn to media theory to understand the new aesthetic paradigm of Modernism. McLuhan's media theory, for example, can better explain such aesthetical forms. The perception of Modernism is limited by the lack of technological …
Two Historiographical Approaches To Evaluate Qi Baishi: The Myth Of The "People's Painter" And Its Counterargument, Zhongyi Xia
Two Historiographical Approaches To Evaluate Qi Baishi: The Myth Of The "People's Painter" And Its Counterargument, Zhongyi Xia
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Two approaches, one explicit and one implicit, exist in the past seventy years of art history to evaluate Qi Baishi's (1864-1957) flower-and-bird painting. One is the Soviet approach, which is characterized by "theory guiding history" and "theory replacing history". It frames Qi Baishi as a "people's painter", emphasizing that Qi's poor peasant family origin has resulted in his folk taste of paintings and his realistic brushwork (close to "realism"). This approach, initiated by Wang Zhaowen, lasts for at least sixty years, which can be seen as the "mainstream". The other (non-Soviet) approach is characterized by "history exemplifying theory" and "theory …
Where Did The Souls Go?: Revisiting The Chinese Art From The Xinhai Revolution To The May Fourth Movement, Yichuan Wang
Where Did The Souls Go?: Revisiting The Chinese Art From The Xinhai Revolution To The May Fourth Movement, Yichuan Wang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
It is necessary to link the May Fourth literature with the Xinhai literature and to expand them into the May Fourth art for analysis. With the fundamental change of the political system from traditional monarchy to modern republic, modern Chinese art began its own modern transformation. For example, Xu Zhenya's pain of soul breaking, Su Manshu's mourning of soullessness, Wu Changshuo's endless growth of strong spirit, Lu Xun's madness of wounded soul, and Hu Shi's vernacular Utopia, have successively become the spotlights of Chinese art from the Xinhai Revolution to the May Fourth Movement. They shared the common objective to …

Techniques And Methods Change, Methodology Remains The Same: Web Technology Use As Cosmetic Change In Cfl Classrooms, Justin Olmanson, Xianquan Liu, Nannan Wang, Christopher Heselton
Chinese Language Teaching Methodology and Technology
Technology has been a staple in the language classroom for more than fifty years. From audio cassettes, to video tapes, to multimedia CD-ROMs, to static and interactive web technologies, language teachers have taken the time to learn these tools and integrate them into the classroom experience. Each new technology, each new app, creates an opportunity to alter the experience of teaching and learning—often supporting increased authentic interactions with the Chinese language. This potential however can go unrealized when the ways the technologies are used align with more traditional grammar and vocabulary-focused teaching methodologies and promote efficiency over communication. In this …
