“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 …
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, …
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 …

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 …
Lu Xun’S Imagery And Its Visual Representations, Naiwu Zhang
Lu Xun’S Imagery And Its Visual Representations, Naiwu Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Lu Xun’s imagery refers to the visual construction of Lu Xun. Different images of Lu Xun are constructed via visual presentations such as biography, animation and spectacle. The process of shaping Lu Xun’s images is marked by heterogeneity, and particularly by the escape of images as the most prominent feature in their dissemination. Although Lu Xun’s image and Lu Xun himself are closely related, the transition from the literary world to the verbal-pictorial world forms a unique context of image as well as image modeling. “Serenity” and “spectacle” are the two faces of Janus of the image modeling of Lu …
The Influence Of Emanuel Swedenborg’S Mysticism On William Blake’S Poetics, Pengfeng Zhang, Shukui Zhan
The Influence Of Emanuel Swedenborg’S Mysticism On William Blake’S Poetics, Pengfeng Zhang, Shukui Zhan
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Mysticism is regarded as a poetic worldview and methodology, which has a wide connection with Western cultures and literary works. The mystical thoughts of Emanuel Swedenborg, a prominent Swedish scientist, theologian and mystic, had a huge impact on William Blake’s poetics. He integrated Swedenborg’s mystical thought into his poems and, through rich imagination, formed his own religious mystical poetics using symbolism and myths. Blake’s poetics exerts tremendous and far-reaching influence on later English poets as well.
The Paradigm, Features And Limitations Of “New World Literature”, Lan Hao
The Paradigm, Features And Limitations Of “New World Literature”, Lan Hao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The beginning of the 1990s saw a fundamental change in ontology, epistemology and methodology in the theory of new world literature. It is no longer stable and essentialist, but turns into a relationship, a network and a process of occurrence. Its epistemology is no longer dualistic, but pluralistic, transcending the boundaries of nationality and language to emphasize the translated text as a phenomenological ontology. Due to “the bankruptcy of philology” in the study of humanities and the increased complication of world literature, researchers advocate cooperation and the use of interdisciplinary methods. Digital humanities, in particular, emerge in the age of …
On The Core Scope And Self-Consistency Of Media Art And Literature, Qing Yan
On The Core Scope And Self-Consistency Of Media Art And Literature, Qing Yan
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Media art and literature has formed a new set of rules for textual production and symbolic control out of the logic of communication. With an inherent structure of significance and dimension of temporality, media art and literature not only provide a new form of development for art, but also offer more possibilities for artistic imagination to engage in social life. According to the process of communication, the communication of literature and art via media involves three domains: “media” at the level of production, “story” at the level of content, and “senses” at the level of aesthetics. Due to the interconnection …
Transforming Anecdotes Into Fiction:Zeng Pu’S A Flower In A Sinful Sea And The Study Of Anecdotes In The Late Qing Dynasty And The Republic Of China, Quan Wei
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
From the perspective of New Literature after the May Fourth New Culture Movement, Liang Qichao’s “new fiction”, Lu Xun’s “satirical fiction” and old scholars’ fiction from “the School of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies”, are all classified as old literature. Yet from the perspective of both fiction studies and feminism, Zeng Pu’s A Flower in a Sinful Sea is a new, instead of an old, novel. Its literary practice of “transforming anecdotes into fiction”, by integrating the style of the chaptered novel, note-form fiction, as well as western fiction, connects the old and new literature during the late Qing dynasty and …
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 …
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 …
