All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to gain an essence and understanding of the phenomenon of short superintendency tenure through the qualitative lenses of superintendent search agents. Research questions included the roles of educational preparation, leadership qualities, and contextual factors in superintendent tenure. Superintendent search agents matching the criteria boundaries of working for an agency with at least 10 years of search experience and also the firm’s non-profit status were chosen for this research work. These criteria were used to reduce bias due to financial reward and lack of institutional or association experience. Two semi-structured interviews were conducted with superintendent …

Linguistic Variation In Contact: The Use Of Erhua And Rusheng In The Xianggang Community In China, Lei He
Theses - ALL
This study considers dialect variation by young and middle-aged speakers in the Xianggang community in China. The Xianggang community is located at the southern part of China, but it used to be composed of northern people. The contact between northern and southern dialects has given birth to a dialect mixed situation. With the attempt to know the driving force of language change within this speech community, both social factors and linguistic factors have been taken into consideration. In this study, Erhua is chosen as the representation of northern dialects and rusheng is chosen on behalf of the southern dialects. Linguistically, …

How The Postmodern Literary Theories Entered China And Inserted Influences?, Liyuan Zhu
How The Postmodern Literary Theories Entered China And Inserted Influences?, Liyuan Zhu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
This article reviews and examines the five stages during which postmodern literary theory currents gradually entered China and exerted influences since the 1980s. With a significant amount of empirical evidence, the paper demonstrates that the influences of the Western postmodernism filtered slowly through the field of Chinese literary theory in the process during which Chinese theoretical circle did not unreservedly embrace the theories but accepted the influences through borrowing and assimilation, refutation and criticism. The paper takes the essentialist way of thinking as an example and expounds the characteristics of the positive and negative impacts which the postmodern literary theories …
Ecolinguistics And The Foundational Construction Of Language Theory For Contemporary Ecological Literary And Cultural Studies, Kuiying Zhao
Ecolinguistics And The Foundational Construction Of Language Theory For Contemporary Ecological Literary And Cultural Studies, Kuiying Zhao
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Language research is closely related with eco literature and cultural studies, while a dilema in the study of eco literature and cultural theory is the need for a proper linguistic theory as its foundation. Ecolinguistics emphasizes the two-way interactions both between language and environment and between language and the world, and takes language as the intermedia between nature and culture, and put the environment of language into the complexity of nature, socity and psychological elements. Therefore, ecolinguisitics can transcend the one-way determinism between the world and language on the one hand and the either-or dualism of the naturalness and artbitrariniess …
Shih-Hsiang Chen's Theory On Chinese Lyrical Tradition And Its Limitation, Cheng Xu
Shih-Hsiang Chen's Theory On Chinese Lyrical Tradition And Its Limitation, Cheng Xu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Shih-hsiang Chen, deeply affected by the revolution of modern Chinese literature, conceived a theory on Chinese lyrical tradition, which took as its standard the ideal of Western Romantic literature and rendered ancient Chinese literature to be monistic. At the present vantage position, the method Shih-hsiang Chen's adopted to study comparative literature was to use Western principles in Chinese literature, which, due to its dominant monistic discourse, concealed the complexity of Chinese literature. While his study might have promoted the academic interest in the West, it was basically an early effort to establish the discipline of comparative literature in China. Therefore, …
The Possibilities And Paths Of Art History, Yichuan Wang
The Possibilities And Paths Of Art History, Yichuan Wang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Art history has been under question and is now in urgent need for explorations of its possibilities and paths. As the discipline of art history has been established and in continuous operation, the academic domain and possibilities of art history will be gradually opened, and along with these developments, the discipline of Chinese art history is also opening its possibilities and path, given the fact art historians are actively opening up and expanding art history. A multiplanar framework of art history research can be constructed to include the history of a uni-modal art in the universal perspective, the comparative history …
The Value Re-Establishment Of Modern Chinese Literature And The Reconfiguration Of Literary History Since The 1980s And Overseas Chinese Studies, Yi Huang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Since 1980s, the influence of overseas Chinese studies has been significant in the value re-establishment of Chinese modern literature and the reconfiguration of the liteary history, which has helped to form an important line for literary history narrative, especially in the transmission of literay values and the remodelling of canons, the explorations into modernities and the promotion of the great literary history, and the re-finding of new literary tradition. Needless to say, the limitations and biases of overseas Chinese studies also showed in this process. The proposition of "the literature of the Republic of China" in recent years is in …
Wang Yuanhua's Concept Of Ideology-Academics As Social Remedy And Its Implications To Intellectual History, Chengwan Lao, Guoqiao Lan
Wang Yuanhua's Concept Of Ideology-Academics As Social Remedy And Its Implications To Intellectual History, Chengwan Lao, Guoqiao Lan
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Wan Yuanhua (1920-2008) believed that academic research and ideology should be integrated with each other, and this idea of ideology-academics integration is Wang's preposition to redress the social maladies. Although his idea has not found fervent echoes in the academic circle, the paper claims that his idea could not be ignored during the development of our cultural intellectual history and can be done full justice by scholars who have investigated the origin, trajectory and outcome of his idea. What worried Wan Yuanhua was the spiritual rootlessness shown in the cynicalness toward and mindless challenge of serious academic pursuit. Wang Yuanhua's …
Ye Shi's Distinction Between Discourse And Literariness And His Concept Of Literary History, Qingcai Guo
Ye Shi's Distinction Between Discourse And Literariness And His Concept Of Literary History, Qingcai Guo
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Ye Shi (1150-1223) was erudite in Confucian classics, historiography and literature equally, with an awareness of the fundamental commensurability between them, believing that their division was resulted from the split of "yan (discourse)". Discourse was epitomized in the language use in the Three Dynasties, with the nature of political practice. Literariness flourished after the Han Dynasty, gradually becoming trivial rhetorical strategies. In general, the attentions to "literariness" and to political culture were reciprocally causal. Ye Shi advocated the idea of "pursuing 'The Tao (Logos)' by tracing 'discourse'," that is, reconstructing the Tao governance through re-interpreting the Five Classics. For him, …
A Study On The Multi-Dimensional Space In Frank O'Hara's Urban Poetics, Xiaoling Wang, Mingyuan Zheng
A Study On The Multi-Dimensional Space In Frank O'Hara's Urban Poetics, Xiaoling Wang, Mingyuan Zheng
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
As a leading poet in the New York School, Frank O'Hara's urban poetics stands out for the multi-dimensional space in his poems. This feature is particularly manifested in the visual space, auditory space, and the psychological space in his poems about city, which embodies the blending of urban poetics and space theory. A study on multi-dimensional space in Frank O’Hara’s poetry helps to explore the natural isomorphism of urban poetics in a metaphoric way.
On The Composite-Sign Literary Text And The Layers Of Sign In The Text, Xiaoxi Shan
On The Composite-Sign Literary Text And The Layers Of Sign In The Text, Xiaoxi Shan
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Literary text of composite sign is composed with different types of signs such as linguistic sign, body sign, image sign, audio sign and so on, among which linguistic sign functions as the keynote, defining the identity of a text as a form of verbal art. Oral literature before written language takes the form of verbal-body composite text or the verbal-body-music composite text. The picture-word literary texts in ancient Chinese, picture story books in Western and Japanese are important forms of word-picture composite texts, while word-image-sound composite text is the major type of digital literature today. Composite sign in literary texts …
Resistance And Its Possibility In The Perspective Of Deconstructionism: Spivak's View On Subaltern And Its Subjective Consciousness, Yingzhi Li
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Deconstructionism is often seen as a radical anti-essentialist theory, but for G. C. Spivak it is a critique toward that which "we have to inhabit in." This means that deconstructionism not only allows but also requests us to strategically use essentialism. It is Spivak's interpretation of Derrida along this trajectory, this paper argues, that frees deconstructionism from the accusation of relativism and nihilism, and merges with Marxist criticism on capitalism, which makes it possible for the subaltern to construct its subjective consciousness and to maintain a ground for resistance.
The Application Of Referent In Western Marxist Critical Theory And Its Significance, Bi Zhang
The Application Of Referent In Western Marxist Critical Theory And Its Significance, Bi Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The application of the semiotic concept of referent in Western Marxist critical theory achieves the purpose of recognizing and analyzing the social reality represented by referents, and it has also made up for the blind areas in the methodology of structuralist semiotics. Furthermore, the application has theoretically bridged the two methodological tradition of Anglo-American and Structuralism semiotics, and it also highlights the referent as an important issue in the study of semiotics, and therefore the application has made significant theoretical contribution to semiotics.
The Definition, Potentiality And Paradigm Of Art History, Feng Peng
The Definition, Potentiality And Paradigm Of Art History, Feng Peng
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The mixed use of "art" and "fine arts" causes the current confusion in the establishment of arts theory. This paper argues that the conventional use of the two terms as have established in modern Chinese may help to clarify the confusion. Fine arts refer to plastic art or visual art, while the art as a general term denotes all categories of arts. Thereby, the criticism of fine arts can be differentiated from art criticism, and the philosophy of the fine arts from the philosophy of art. Then, the question comes to how to separate the history of fine arts from …
"To Reach The Full Spectrum Of Emotions And Human Nature" And The Ontology Of "Passion": Literary Concepts In The Comparative Perspective, Xiaokai Lou
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The overseas experience of the generation of scholars such as Hu Shi, Liang Shiqiu, Lin Yutang, and Xu Zhimo etc. provided them with the access to and influence from two cultural traditions, but their ideas of literature showed that the idea of "passion" (qing), highly advocated in ancient Chinese poetic criticism and its local and national connotations, was re-invested with modern and worldwide significance. As "passion" formed a paradigm under constant transformation, it constructed a space for expression with more tension. Therefore, a literary concept was formed among them which could be called passion ontological in the three dimensions of …
Academic Communication And Its Production Sphere: Popular Media And The Configuration Of Chinese Modern Literary Theory, Jiangfeng Hu
Academic Communication And Its Production Sphere: Popular Media And The Configuration Of Chinese Modern Literary Theory, Jiangfeng Hu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Since modern age in China when mass printing media became increasingly popular, theorists and literary critics have increasingly participated in the communications of newspapers, magazines and publishing, which also promoted the dissimilation of academic research and the knowledge theory. The gradual commercialization of knowledge and the establishment of the remuneration system helped to change the production mode of modern literary theory. Mass media not only opened up the production field of modern literary discourse, expanded the reproduction of theory and promoted the professionalization of literary theory studies, but also directly affected the internal form of modern literary theory and intervened …
Fredric Jameson's "National Allegory": A Defense, Qin Wang
Fredric Jameson's "National Allegory": A Defense, Qin Wang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Through a close-reading of American literary critic Fredric Jameson's famous essay on Third-World literature, this essay re-examines his concept of "national allegory" and several criticisms of the concept in the subsequent decades, of which Aijaz Ahmad is exemplary. It attempts to show that most critics misleadingly translated Jameson's concept from the dimension of "form" into the dimension of "content" or "theme." This paper proposes an approach to the concept from the perspective of "form" and claims that in the present context of literature and politics this approach may shed some new light on current discussions of the relation between Third-World …
History As Re-Presentation: With Reference To Nation, History And Narrative Of The State, Xinjian Xu
History As Re-Presentation: With Reference To Nation, History And Narrative Of The State, Xinjian Xu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The paper proposes that history is also literature, and examines the historical representation of China from the perspectives of literature and literary anthropology. The paper argues the following three main prepositions. In terms of literary and oral representation, history belongs to literature in the broad sense. All the representations of Chinese history can be investigated from the perspective of literature. Since China is a multi-nation state, the representations of its history require a vision of pluralist dialogue, and this asks for a deep understanding of sinology while the dialogue should extend to the communication within the studies of the ethnic …
Literary Folkloristics: The Trend Of Interdisciplinary Research In The Recent Thirty Years, Meili Shen, Qinjian Chen
Literary Folkloristics: The Trend Of Interdisciplinary Research In The Recent Thirty Years, Meili Shen, Qinjian Chen
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Since the mid-1980s, literary folkloristics has become one of the new methods in literary study for its focus on the interdisciplinary study of literature and folklore. The theoretical interpretation and research practice have since taken two different academic orientation and theoretical approach. One emphasizes on the instrumentality of folklore theory in study of literary text, analysing the styles in literary works and exploring the folklore materials in them. The other has its theoretical foundations from the concepts such as "the cultural existence of man" and "literary study as the study of man," and it is more concerned with the understanding …
The Cultural Significance Of The Chain Ci-Poems In The Ming Dynasty, Jingyi Wang, Xisheng Qian
The Cultural Significance Of The Chain Ci-Poems In The Ming Dynasty, Jingyi Wang, Xisheng Qian
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Chain ci-poems through relaying replies took up a relatively high proportion in the Ming-Dynasty ci-poetry which absorbed influences from the Song Dynasties, as well as the Tang and Five Dynasties. Of the 1051 chain poems, 150 poets produced 652 original poems, and 29 out of the 150 poets had been replied with poems for over ten times, while 35 original poems were relied for more than 5 times. An investigation of the most replied poets and poems may provide us with the knowledge on reception of the ci-poets and ci-poetry as well as the insight into the aesthetic appeal of …
The Death And The Revival Of The Author, Hajdu Péter
The Death And The Revival Of The Author, Hajdu Péter
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The most influential trends in 20th-century literary criticism and theory of literature can be described as revolting against a both Romantic and positivist approach which focused on the person of the author rather than his or her literary product. Formalism, New Criticism, structuralism and post-structuralism denied any importance of the biographical author, and dealt with texts exclusively. After the Barthesian formulation of the death of the author (applauded by towering figures like Foucault or Derrida) the end of the 20th and even more the beginning of the 21st centuries have brought back the importance of the author. For some new …
The History Of Art Field: An Open And Neutral Art History, Huizhe Zhang
The History Of Art Field: An Open And Neutral Art History, Huizhe Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
As a tradition, art history focuses on the creation and generation of artworks, but the evolution of art requires the writing of its history to be open, neutral and comprehensive. By referring to the definitions of art from the perspective of analytic aesthetics and relating to Bourdieu’s theorization of art field and analysis of autonomation, this paper tries to conceive a history of arts field through placing the relational elements concerning art and artworks into the inner and outer art field. The paper maintains that the history of art field may open up the genesis and future as well as …
The Knowledge Generation Of Theory And The Inner Logic Of Chinese Literary Theory, Hongqi Yang
The Knowledge Generation Of Theory And The Inner Logic Of Chinese Literary Theory, Hongqi Yang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The generation of the knowledge of theory refers to both the theory itself as academic knowledge and the theory as knowledge-generating academic discourse. Theory as knowledge is generated in the process of border crossing between discipline, language and culture, while knowledge-generating theory starts with literature, is established in culture and bears fruits in post-modernity. In this context, the knowledge construction of Chinese literary theory follows the trajectory from theory in Chinese to Chinese theory.
The Theoretical Reflection On The Problem Of Literary Ontology: A Case Study Of Qian Zhongwen's Literary Theory: Explorations And Reflections, Zhixiang Qi
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
This paper takes Qian Zhongwen's book Literary Theory: Explorations and Reflections as its research subject, and surveys his reflections and debates since the turn of the century on some important issues in literary ontology. The issues include: Dose literature have its own "essence"? Does anti-essentialism mean the cancellation of research on "essence"? If the research on literary "essence" cannot be cancelled, what is the "essence" of literature? How can we evaluate the expansion of the bounders of the literature and literary theory after deconstruction? How to put into the perspective the alarming claims of "the end of literature" and "the …
The Transformation Of Urban Writing In Modern Fictions And Its Significance Of Fiction History: With A Focus On Shanghai And Guangzhou, Daqing Deng, Xun Sun
The Transformation Of Urban Writing In Modern Fictions And Its Significance Of Fiction History: With A Focus On Shanghai And Guangzhou, Daqing Deng, Xun Sun
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
After the forced opening of such cities as Shanghai and Guangzhou for international trade, the traditional modes of culture in these cities were changed. Fiction, as one important literary genre closely associated with urbanity, also underwent transformations in terms of the urban writing in China. In modern Chinese fictions, the space of urban writing was continuously extended, with the descriptive focus shifting from the general coverage of landmark buildings to the detailed exploration of urban life, the protagonists shifting from traditional city dwellers into modern urban citizens, and the narrative form shifting from centering round time to centering round space. …
On Cao Xueqin's Idea Of Stylistics With Reference To The Stylistic Value Of Zhiyanzhai AnnotatedDream Of Red Mansions, Jingze Ren
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Cao Xueqin's idea of stylistics is systematic and can be understood in four main ways. The first is analyzing and complying with style. This shows in the two ways to differentiate the style of each literary work and each author. The second is appropriate and inappropriate style. This pair of concepts has rich implications and may be considered as a heritance from Cao Pi's theory of stylistics in the pre-Qin period. The third is the breaking and transforming of style, which shows in the stylistic innovation in such texts as "A Eulogy for the Lotus Girl." The fourth is the …

The Reconstruction Of Chinese Metaphysics, Xushu Zhang
The Reconstruction Of Chinese Metaphysics, Xushu Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The immortality of metaphysics originates in its human-attributed nature. The call for the reconstruction of Chinese metaphysics in the contemporary context should be understood as an intrinsic necessity of the modernization of socialism, and it should be taken as a significant component for new Chinese cultural tradition. The constant agency behind the reconstruction of Chinese metaphysics lies in the critical spirits and the courage of innovation of contemporary thinkers. Three major issues in the construction of Chinese metaphysics are the epistemological criticism of metaphysics, the views on a prior reason (a prior form), and the rebuilding of the spiritual homeland …
