“Levi’S Paradox” And Its Solution: Giorgio Agamben’S Poetics Of Witnessing, Yiqun Zhou
“Levi’S Paradox” And Its Solution: Giorgio Agamben’S Poetics Of Witnessing, Yiqun Zhou
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Witnessing Auschwitz is confronted with “Levi’s paradox”: The speechless as a thorough witness cannot testify because of their death; and the survivor as an exception of Auschwitz, to some extent, is only a pseudo-witness. Agamben argues that neither the speechless nor the survivor can bear witness alone, and the witness should be seen as a threshold constructed by the mutual “exclusive inclusion” of the speechless and the survivor, that is, a fractured construction of “unity-difference.” As a result, the impossibility and possibility of witnessing constitute each other. The survivor who bears witness to the speechless’s impossibility of witnessing is the …
A Comparison Between Bakhtin’S And Levinas’ Ethics Of The Other And Its Aesthetic Significance, Xiao Bi
A Comparison Between Bakhtin’S And Levinas’ Ethics Of The Other And Its Aesthetic Significance, Xiao Bi
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Mikhail Bakhtin inaugurates a kind of ethics of responsibility in his first book Toward a Philosophy of the Act. It is informed by Husserl’s phenomenological propositions, and it engages a hidden dialogue with Levinas’ theory. It may be argued that Bakhtin and Levinas combined to present a comprehensive articulation of the ethics of the Other. Bakhtin rewrites the ethics of the Other and constructs an aesthetics marked by ethical issues through such approaches as transforming the ethical relation of “I-Other” into the aesthetic relation of “author-hero.” Such ethical aesthetics is intertextually connected to Levinas’ theory about literature and art, which …
After-Poststructuralist Image Theory: Jacques Rancière’S Reconstruction Of Roland Barthes’S Photography Theory, Tiantian Wu
After-Poststructuralist Image Theory: Jacques Rancière’S Reconstruction Of Roland Barthes’S Photography Theory, Tiantian Wu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Roland Barthes’s photography theory is mainly manifested in his poststructuralist work Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography. It is not devoted to disenchantment of images as he did in his earlier work Mythologies, but highlights the affective power of images through the proposition of punctum (as a contrast to stadium). In the view of Jacques Rancière, Barthes’s punctum theory enchants images and gives rise to fetish and the theology of incarnation. Rancière reconstructs Barthes’s photography theory based on his own understanding of the aesthetic regime and language-image relationship. This reconstruction provides insights about image theory, but also reveals some misinterpretations of …
History, Trauma, And Literature: Dominick Lacapra’S Theory Of “Writing Trauma” And Its Ethical Significance, Peng Zhang
History, Trauma, And Literature: Dominick Lacapra’S Theory Of “Writing Trauma” And Its Ethical Significance, Peng Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Due to the crisis of historical representation in the field of historiography in the mid-to-late twentieth century, Dominick LaCapra, an important thinker of “trauma theory,” puts the traditional methodology in historiography into question and reconstructs possibilities in historical writing by proposing to break traditional disciplinary boundaries and promote dialogues between history and psychoanalysis, literature, philosophy as well as ethics. From an interdisciplinary perspective, LaCapra explores the aesthetics of “negative sublime” and types of trauma in extreme events, and proposes the theory of “writing trauma” through combining speech act theory and ethics. As a kind of acting-out of the historical trauma, …
The Artistic Field During The Yongle-Xuande Reign The Ming Dynasty And The Writing Of The Ministerial Style, Xianpo Yuan
The Artistic Field During The Yongle-Xuande Reign The Ming Dynasty And The Writing Of The Ministerial Style, Xianpo Yuan
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The ministerial style (taigeti), which emerged in the early Ming period (1403-1435), is not only a concept of writing, but also a concept of painting and calligraphy, reflecting the prevailing aesthetics of the time. Due to the promotion of palace-style painting and ministerial style calligraphy, high officials interwove a space of landscape with calligraphy and painting as carriers, through literary and artistic productions of poetry, essay, calligraphy and painting. Distinct from the political space at the imperial court, this is a space for relaxation in their leisure time, when they had freedom to enjoy the leisure interest of mountain and …
The Interplay Between Traditional Literary Theory And Marxist Literary Criticism In The Past Hundred Years, Wei Han
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
China’s mainstream literary criticism discourse since the 20th century is actually the product of the Sinicization of Marxism. Traditional Chinese literary view of “conveying truth” and Marxist literary criticism’s valorization of “practice” have promoted each other, laying the foundation for the dialogue between ancient and modern theories. The first half of the 20th century witnessed a spontaneous interplay between traditional theory and Marxist criticism in the prevailing popular discourse. The experimental understanding of traditional critical principles and terms in this period by some literary scholars has enhanced the development of literary criticism after the founding of the People’s Republic of …
Poetry, Politics, And Ethics: The Relationship Between The Thought Of Qun In The Late Qing Dynasty And Lu Xun’S Poetics In His Early Career, Yaotian Sun
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
In his early career, Lu Xun participated in the ideological trend of qun (group) in the late Qing dynasty through poetics, and expressed his new understanding of the relationship between groups and individuals within this background. Some reformers carried on the tradition of poetry education, emphasizing the inherent function of literature on transferring affection and its political significance on the construction of groups. Lu Xun also emphasized affection, but criticized the idea about regulating poetry from external political perspectives. For this reason, he reinterpreted the tradition of “poetry expresses ideal” and argued that poetry is the free expression of human …

Reversion And Subversion: The Internal Logic And Cultural Dynamics Of The Historical Transformation Of Luxury Consumption, Shiping Jiang
Reversion And Subversion: The Internal Logic And Cultural Dynamics Of The Historical Transformation Of Luxury Consumption, Shiping Jiang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
In the history of consumption, luxury consumption is always the marked, and the cultural dynamics of its development is in the markedness of its text and name. Luxury consumption has experienced two waves of popularization, and the markedness of luxury text also changes with the two updates in the form and connotation of luxury. In the era of material consumption, the markedness of luxury is one of symbols. The first popularization of luxury not only turns symbols into the mainstream of consumer culture, but also subverts traditional luxury. With the second popularization of luxury consumption in the era of symbolic …
The Characteristics And Significance Of Ouyang Xiu’S “Guest As Host” In His Ancient-Style Prose, Guang Xu
The Characteristics And Significance Of Ouyang Xiu’S “Guest As Host” In His Ancient-Style Prose, Guang Xu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Critics since the Song Dynasty, inspired by Soto Zen theory, developed the concept of “host-guest” to analyze the composition of the ancient-style prose. Ouyang Xiu’s ancient-style prose is the representative of applying the concept of “guest as host,” or “guest before host,” or “reciprocal betwen guest and host,” or “hierarchy of guest and host.” Compared with Han Yu and Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu is better at expressing rich and fine emotions with the concept of “guest-host.” In the ancient-style prose, “guest” is prioritized over host, when the prose writings need to establish turns and twists in the textual composition and …
The Cpc’S Early Popularization Theory And Practice Of Literature And Art From The Perspective Of Qu Qiubai’S Oral Literary Creation, Xiaohua Cao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Qu Qiubai, an early leader of the CPC, perfected CPC’s theory of popularization of literature and art by learning, imitating, propagating and transforming oral literature when he was editing the Hot Blood Daily, presiding the Left League in Shanghai, and working in the Central Soviet Area in Jiangxi Province. Adapting folk arts and dialects, with reference to the characteristics of the revolutionary propaganda, Qu created a progressive wild tune that borrowed some features of the old genre. He intended a breakthrough by absorbing vernacular expression into the blended style to transcend the existing stylistic constraints and the ideological constraints of …
“History” And “Historical Materials”: How To Chronologize The Fiction Theory In The Ming And Qing Dynasties, Zhiping Yang
“History” And “Historical Materials”: How To Chronologize The Fiction Theory In The Ming And Qing Dynasties, Zhiping Yang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The chronicle of fiction theory in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is not a one-dimensional chronicle of fiction theory itself only, but an overall chronicle of various elements involved in the development of fiction theory. It will deal with the diversity and complexity of the history of fiction theory taking consideration of its historical specificities so that different delineations of the history may be possible. Such a chronolo gization requires a new way to cover a broader theoretical and historical materials than conventionally conceived and break through the boundaries of the historical materials of fiction theory.The paper observes that the …
An Elucidation Of Herbert Marcuse’S Poetic Thought Of “After-Auschwitz”, Fumin Shen
An Elucidation Of Herbert Marcuse’S Poetic Thought Of “After-Auschwitz”, Fumin Shen
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Aiming at Theodor W. Adorno’s poetic proposition of “after-Auschwitz”, Herbert Marcuse put forward his own version of the poetic thought. Marcuse analyzed from the perspective of cultural critique the art crisis resulted from the affirmative culture which had been increasingly strengthened in the Western capitalist society in the “after Auschwitz” age. Marcuse examined the different approaches to artistic creation in its response to the fascist horror represented by the Auschwitz Holocaust. On the issue of how to remember history after Auschwitz, Marcuse emphasized that literary memory might instill into the people the subject responsibility of not forgetting history and of …
Behind “Not A Single Word”: On The Relationship Between Lu Xun And His Grandfather, Junlin Gao
Behind “Not A Single Word”: On The Relationship Between Lu Xun And His Grandfather, Junlin Gao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Lu Xun wrote many reminiscences about his life, which concern all kinds of people whom he met at different life stages, including teachers, friends, disciples and family, but he wrote “not a single word” about his grandfather Zhou Fuqing. This essays holds that Lu Xun has been deliberately evading the issue of his grandfather’s imperial examination because it had led to a series of misfortunes and humiliations in Lu Xun’s early years. This essay further probes into the differences between Lu Xun and his grandfather in terms of ideological and cultural concepts, code of conduct, literary and aesthetic taste, and …
Can Faith Heal The Cracks In Cultural Politics? On The Theological Turn Of Terry Eagleton In The New Century, Jian Wang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
With the increasing prominence of religious issues, the “theological turn” in Eagleton’s theory has gradually drawn attention of academics in China. In his theory, Eagleton constructs a god who values creativity, cares for others, and bears the responsibility of crime. Through interpretation of ideal theology, Eagleton constructs a common culture that can be jointly built and shared. This practice continues and develops the attempt of the New Left in Britain to explore the socialist goal through “cultural politics.” The theoretical innovation originates from the conundrum of practice. Compared with Raymond Williams, Eagleton needs to find the power to transform theoretical …
