A Critical Investigation Into The Evolution Of Zhu Gongdiao's Musical Narrative Scheme, Zhimei Sheng
A Critical Investigation Into The Evolution Of Zhu Gongdiao's Musical Narrative Scheme, Zhimei Sheng
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Zhu Gongdiao ("All-Mode Tune") is a composite musical narrative art, which shows as singing various modal tunes to various keys, and it was the popular folk opera form in the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties. Musical narrative scheme of All-Mode Tune develops from decreasing use of keys to increasing use of modal tunes, and alongside this development is the change from lyrics-centred form to operatic form. As a folk art form, All-Mode Tune succeeded the ancient "Tanci" (chanting lyrics) after the "bianwen" (transformative text) and preceded the drama in the present form. Therefore, All-Mode Tune was associated with the two …

An Anthropological Reflection On Lu Xun'sOld Tales Retold, Lili Liu
An Anthropological Reflection On Lu Xun'sOld Tales Retold, Lili Liu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
This paper takes an interdisciplinary perspective and tries to present an anthropological reflection on the stories in Lu Xun's Old Tales Retold. For Lu Xun, the stories were important, especially the old stories in the ancient classics, and he creatively rewrote the classical stories to get across what he wanted to convey. In his rewriting, Lu Xun combined materials from many classics so as to make the retold stories take on artistic features of creative stories. Lu Xun's Old Tales Retold merged well into the development of fiction writing in Chinese literary history, which evolved from the antique myth and …
An Exposition Of Zhu Xi's "Preface To Annotations ToThe Book Of Songs", Hui Zhang
An Exposition Of Zhu Xi's "Preface To Annotations ToThe Book Of Songs", Hui Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Zhu Xi (1130-1200) had written three prefaces to The Book of Songs. His "Preface to Annotations to The Book of Songs" was not intended for the book it prefaced but for the aborted earlier book Collected Interpretations of The Book of Songs. This preface was not the later "Prefaces to The Book of Songs," which were generally referred to as The Bigger Preface and The Smaller Preface. The present paper takes "Preface to Annotations" as a transitional critical text in Zhu Xi's thought and tries to explore the dialogic relationship between this preface and the Bigger and Smaller Prefaces. The …
Between Mythos And Philosophia, Keping Wang
Between Mythos And Philosophia, Keping Wang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Chronologically, mythos (myth) came into being before philosophia (philosophy). Mythos tends to make people "wonder" and "think" whereas philosophia attempts to work out the meaning of this wondering. Thus it leads to a process of endless exploration. This being the case, philomythos is in a way like philosophos. In other words, he who loves myths is somewhat like a philosopher who loves wisdom and pursues truth. Plato himself is not merely a myth-lover but a myth-maker, and he therefore develops a dialogue-based philosophy saturated with poetic wisdom. It is through the interaction between mythos and philosophia that mythos becomes rationalized …
Arendt's Aesthetics Of The Political And Its Modern Politico-Philosophical Implications, Hecheng Li
Arendt's Aesthetics Of The Political And Its Modern Politico-Philosophical Implications, Hecheng Li
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The love for the world leads to the hatred of the world's evil; the hatred of the claustrophobia from the evil in the private leads to the passionately exploration into the human’s common conditions in the public. Arendt found her solution to the modern political predicament in the performance of virtuosity, which transcends "making" and material production. The transcendence aims to implant into the increasingly perfected political communications the ontological significance of productivity and production relations, while the performance is an experience of modernity (i.e. the aesthetic) in an effort to undermine the will to good and remove the desire …
Chinese Images In English Poetry: A Comparative Reading Between Literary Fictionalization And Western Consciousness, Fanjian Zeng, Hanbo Liu
Chinese Images In English Poetry: A Comparative Reading Between Literary Fictionalization And Western Consciousness, Fanjian Zeng, Hanbo Liu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
English poetry has a longstanding tradition in creating images about China. The images, from the perspective of literary anthropology by Wolfgang Iser, cannot be freed from interrelated unity of opposites between fictionalization, imagination and facts. While fictionalization and imagination are essential to poetry, their foundation and destination have to be the facts about China and the subjectivity of the Western. If native Chinese poetics is applied into a comparative reading of the images of China in English poetry, especially by focusing on the subject-object relationship shown in literary fictionalization and the Western consciousness through an empirical study based on linguistic …
From "和" To There: Marxist Hermeneutics With Chinese Characteristics, Gregory Mahoney Josef
From "和" To There: Marxist Hermeneutics With Chinese Characteristics, Gregory Mahoney Josef
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
We begin by synthesizing Karl Marx's historical periods qua modes of production with Michel Foucault's epistemological periodizations — epistemes, which we then combine with Fredric Jameson's work on ideologemes. Jameson's acknowledged weakness is a failure to address those positive if not utopian elements that might be instrumentally valuable for deconstructing or disassembling ideologemes in the course of historical progress. We then argue that such alternatives would be, ideally, concrete universals (具体的普遍), and would be both trans-epistemic and trans-historical. We then provide several reasons why it seems reasonable to search for the concrete universal par excellence within Chinese linguistic and philosophical …
Media Ontology: The Philosophical Basis Of The Research Of New Media Literature And Art, Xiaoxi Shan
Media Ontology: The Philosophical Basis Of The Research Of New Media Literature And Art, Xiaoxi Shan
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
To construct media ontology is to lay a philosophical foundation for the research into new media literature and art. Media ontology, compared with media epistemology and media ousiaology, is a post-metaphysical media philosophy grounded on the theories of modern ontology, and the theoretical context is constructed by the theoretical reflections from the perspective of media philosophy and the studies on the transition from classic ontology to modern ousiaology. The three illogically interconnected propositions of media ontology are "to be is to inform," "the medium is information" and "media is being." In this light, being can be interpreted through information activities …

Zange And Sorge: Two Models Of 'Concern' In Comparative Philosophy Of Religion, James Mark Shields
Zange And Sorge: Two Models Of 'Concern' In Comparative Philosophy Of Religion, James Mark Shields
Faculty Contributions to Books
The concept of Sorge, as developed in Martin Heidegger’s (1889–1976) classic work, Sein und Zeit (1927), describes an existential-ontological state characterized by “anxiety” about the future and the desire to “attend to” the world based on our awareness of temporality. In Japan, this concept was borrowed and critically developed by Watsuji Tetsurō (1889–1960). In Rinrigaku (1937–49), Watsuji argued that Heidegger’s Sorge remains overly reliant on the philosophical structures of Western individualism and subjectivism, and thus neglects the social dimension of human being. In turn, Watsuji’s contemporary, Tanabe Hajime (1885–1962), developed an alternative theory of “concern” in his reflections on …

The Narrative Function And Stylistic Significance Of The Official Papers In The Tang-Dynasty Fictions, Guofu Cheng, Liang He
The Narrative Function And Stylistic Significance Of The Official Papers In The Tang-Dynasty Fictions, Guofu Cheng, Liang He
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Tang-Dynasty fictions comprise of writings in different styles and of different genres, and official papers take up a considerable part. Official papers have prescribed function and specific purpose, and they can be divided into two categories. One category includes the official papers that go to the upper levels, which may be used in both the officialdom and the religious circle. The other category includes the official papers that are sent to the lower levels in the officialdom. Official papers in the Tang fictions function in two aspects. On the one hand, they perform the narrative functions in terms of theme …
A Critical Reflection On And Construction Of Modern Chinese Literary Theory, Yichuan Wang
A Critical Reflection On And Construction Of Modern Chinese Literary Theory, Yichuan Wang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
This essay attempts to survey and critically reflect the development of modern Chinese literary theory. It summarizes the heritage of modern Chinese literary theory in the form of domestic stand that incorporates Western thoughts, modern position that revitalizes Chinese tradition, union between individuals and the mass, the priority of material over mind in the symbiosis of thought and art, and the necessary tension between interior intellectual system and exterior ideological institutions. The history of modern Chinese literary theory also leaves us some lessons to learn, especially such fixations as inclination to dialectic thinking, thinking taking priority over being, over-appropriating, xenophobic …
A Positioning Of China In The Global Space: Reflecting The Overseas Debate On Chineseness And Sinophone, Xiayun Yu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
This paper tries to reveal the ideological structure and cultural manipulation behind those discussions around the recent debate on Chineseness in the overseas world. It points out that intentional misuse should be further distinguished from the misuse in the discourse of Chineseness, and that the refinement of Chineseness should not be confined in the political field but be opened to include the cultural inheritance and renovation in the native land as well as the cultural progress through the dialogue between worldwide Chinese and Western. With the dialogue seeped through the debate, Chineseness may then be curbed from degenerating into a …
Classic Literary Genres And The Canonization Of Literary Genres, Fenran Jia
Classic Literary Genres And The Canonization Of Literary Genres, Fenran Jia
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
This paper explores the historical process during which Chinese classic literary genres of poetry and prose are canonized. The paper maintains that the identification and support from the mainstream culture is the most important among the various factors contributing to the canonization of the genres of poetry and prose. The values promoted by the mainstream culture points to the directions of literary creation and criticism and allows for the space for the poetry and literary prose to develop. As a result, genres, subjected to the influence from mainstream culture, have no choice but accept the values supported by the mainstream …
Mo Yan's Polarizations: An Interpretation Of HisBig Breasts And Wide Hips, Yong Zhao
Mo Yan's Polarizations: An Interpretation Of HisBig Breasts And Wide Hips, Yong Zhao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Before writing Big Breasts and Wide Hips, Mo Yan has already formed a fixed mode of polarized thinking and perception, and the mode is reflected in his choice of subject matter. One the hand, he dredges from memorized history and writes with a confirmative force; on the other hand, he criticizes the realistic history and writes with a negative attitude. Big Breasts and Wide Hips displays as the reasonable extension of both polarities and shows that it is both a grace deconstruction of the memorized history and a parody of the realistic history. The characters are designed to fall into …
On Liu Gangji's Practical Ontological Aesthetics As An Advance Of Practical Aesthetics, Liyuan Zhu, Wenying Zhang
On Liu Gangji's Practical Ontological Aesthetics As An Advance Of Practical Aesthetics, Liyuan Zhu, Wenying Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
In 1980s, Liu Gangji put forward and established practical ontological aesthetics as a result of reflection and critique of mechanistic and perceptual materialism. He re-interpreted the Marxist view of practice as that which is participated by both the subject and the object, and elevated practice from epistemological level to ontological level. In this way, his conceptualization surpassed the dichotomy between subject and object and transcended the material ontology in the track of old materialism which to this day is still followed by some scholars. Liu Gang Ji's concept of practice not only initiated an advance in Marxist aesthetics of practicum …
