Jack London Reporting from Tokyo and Manchuria: The Forgotten Role of an Influential Observer of Early Modern Asia by Daniel A. Métraux

Working as a journalist for several newspapers and magazines, he filed numerous articles and essays covering the Russo-Japanese war and even foresaw the rise of Japan and China as world powers. This paper provides an overview of his journalistic and …

Stranger In A Strange Land: The Struggle For Cultural And Personal Identity In Haruki Murakami's Hard-Boiled Wonderland And The End Of The World, Laura E. Smith

Honors Theses

In order to explicate Murakami's version of the official culture, I have analyzed the novel with the works of several different theorists. Primarily, I drew my own understanding of the official culture from Raymond Williams's examination of culture in Marxism and Literature. His terminology became helpful in writing about the operation of the System and the Town, though it did not define that operation precisely. Williams's work also introduced me to the theory behind the official culture's manipulation and exclusion of historical aspects in order to create their "official" version of history, from which the official culture draws its identity. …

《現代》雜誌於一九三二年五月創刊，共出版三十四期，其間曾刊登一百 四十二篇翻譯詩、小說及散文，當中以詩和小說為主。《現代》雜誌普通被認為 是現代主義刊物，但通過翻譯小說，亦可見其現實主義的一面。另一方面，雜 誌所刊登的翻譯詩，與現代詩關係密切，更可視為現代詩的濫觴。

《大公報》的《文藝副刊》和《文藝》(1933年-1949年), Wan Ching Chung

Lingnan Theses

《大公報》是中國新聞史上出版時間最長的中文報紙，創刊於1902 年6 月 17 日，至今已出版將近106 年，完整地記錄了中國百年滄桑。《大公報》香港版 創刊於1938 年8 月13 日，復刊於1948 年3 月15 日，半個多世紀以來，見證 了香港的風雲變幻。

論文主要研究三、四十年代《大公報》的《文藝副刊》、《文藝》副刊，歷 經沈從文(主要編輯時間：1933 年9 月─1936 年4 月)、蕭乾(主要編輯時間：1936 年4 月─1939 年8 月)、楊剛(主要編輯時間：1939 年9 月─1941 年12 月)三位 主編的薪火相傳，不僅擁有全國文藝副刊中最廣泛的作者群，而且被譽為中國 近現代著名作家的「文學搖籃」。當時大部分新進作家的初期之作，相當一部分 是在《大公報》文藝副刊上率先發表。這些作家中的大部分，成為中國文學運 動的中堅。這一時期的《大公報》副刊，與《大公報》的社評、星期論文和新 聞通訊一道，被中國新聞史學家評為「當時新聞界四絕」。

論文共分八章，第一章是「引言」，第二章是「文藝副刊是中國報紙特色」， 第三章是「《大公報》『四不』及對文藝副刊的影響」，第四章是「沈從文編《大 公報．文藝副刊》」，第五章是「蕭乾編《大公報．文藝》（津、滬版）」，第六章 是「蕭乾、楊剛編《文藝》（港版）」，第七章是「《大公報．文藝》走進歷史」， 第八章是結論「《文藝副刊》和《文藝》的主要貢獻」。

中國白蛇系列小說 (唐-清) 蛇女變形研究, Pui Yi Fung

Lingnan Theses

變形是民間故事的重要元素。白蛇故事是中國著名的民間故事，變形 情節亦貫穿於唐朝至清朝的白蛇小説之中。「變形」能夠在白蛇小説中長久風行，應該有其特殊的藝術技巧與思想内容存在，值得加以重視。

要進入人世，白蛇必須幻化「人形」，才能與人類相戀。其實，白蛇所變之「形」，乃人們慾求之投射。白蛇化身的白衣娘子，美麗、富有，擁有強烈的性慾，是男主角的「理想女性」，彌補其現實生活之欠缺。可是，白蛇間中露出本相，人性之中夾雜了妖性，使男主角又愛又怕。本文第二章「變形與人妖關係」， 將探討白蛇如何成爲情慾之化身，以及故事中所呈現的兩性關係。

由於白衣娘子乃蛇妖所化，爲了維持「人身」並掩藏「蛇相」，蛇妻多給丈夫設立禁制。蛇妻「設禁」而丈夫「守禁」，丈夫受到規管，故對妻子產生畏懼心理。因此，分析白蛇故事之「禁制」，可剖析女強男弱的人妖關係之來源。禁制的設立能誘發好奇心，偷窺者對白衣娘子的「破禁」窺視，致使她原形畢露。 可以說，變形與禁制在白蛇故事中得到完美結合。本文第三章，將從「變形與禁制」的角度出發，並以「設禁—破禁—後果」這一民間故事常見的敍事模式 為框架，深入剖析白蛇故事女強男弱的兩性關係之來源。

偷窺者對白衣娘子的窺視，可使故事情節及人妖關係發生突轉。偷窺者偷窺前，故事的氣氛是較平和、寧靜的，人妖之間也是和睦相處的。可是，一旦偷窺者發現真相，故事情節便起伏、動蕩，人妖關係也隨即破裂。究竟白蛇故事的敍述者，如何靈活操縱視角，設置懸念、製造氣氛，並以故事中的角色作 爲自己的「敍述代理」，從而推動故事情節發展？本文第四章「變形與敍事」， 將從視角、角色、時間，探討白蛇小説描寫白蛇變形所運用的敍述技巧。

白蛇故事能夠成爲家喻戶曉的民間故事，變形元素應該發揮了很大的效 用。本文以變形為中心，從「變形與人妖關係」、「變形與禁制」、「變形與敍事」 三個角度，分析白蛇故事人妖戀之心理及敍述技巧，藉以揭示白蛇故事歷久不衰的魅力所在。
