蕭紅在香港的生活與《呼蘭河傳》, Yuen Yee Wong

Dissertations from all years

女性、愛情、自由、革命、叛逆、逃亡、寂寞……每一個詞放在蕭紅身上都別有意味。2014年，許鞍華電影《黃金時代》再一次掀起了蕭紅熱。蕭紅是中國現代文學史上一個獨特的女作家，也是逐漸受學界重視的作家之一。隨著近年來蕭紅研究的不斷深入，這個具有傳奇和悲劇色彩的女作家，她絕世的文學才華也逐漸展露眼前。

香港，作為她重要作品的孕育之地，某程度上也成就了蕭紅的寫作及文學地位。《呼蘭河傳》是蕭紅的重要代表作之一，也是在香港寫畢的作品之一。許子東教授認為：「中日戰爭期間，作為租界的香港受英國人管治，成為可讓懷抱不同政治立場的人與當下處境拉開距離的避風港，給予作家逃離專制政府的機會，蕭紅也就是在這個環境下完成《呼蘭河傳》。

雖然蕭紅在來香港前已經成名，但在香港時期的創作才真正地讓她名聲大噪起來。因著對蕭紅研究的深入，長篇小說《呼蘭河傳》也被研究者們從各個角度、各個層面進行了挖掘和闡釋，揭示出這部經典作品的現實性。故本論文的重心意在探討「蕭紅是在如何的寫作環境中創作了《呼蘭河傳》」的核心主題之上。換句話說，研究背後究竟是什麼原動力或原因促使蕭紅創作《呼蘭河傳》正是本論文的寫作目標。

蕭紅與她其後的丈夫端木蕻良一起來到香港不久，正好碰上日軍侵襲、香港淪陷之時。她死於香港，使論者總禁不住藉此想像著她與香港的浪漫關係。這也是吸引論者研究蕭紅的最大原因。香港對蕭紅來說也許意義並不大，但許多偶然的因素導致她在這裡成就了她的文學人生。故本論文將會集中細看蕭紅在香港時期的經歷，並結合其遭遇探討《呼蘭河傳》得以問世的原因。在香港這麼南、呼蘭河這麼北的地方，家鄉和避難之地相隔如此遙遠，《呼蘭河傳》可謂是蕭紅一次精神返鄉的旅程。

Divorces Of Marriage Immigrants In South Korea: An Examination Of Factors Affecting Divorce, Sanghee Kim

MPA/MPP/MPFM Capstone Projects

In South Korea, as of 2013, ten out of a hundred newlywed couples included a marriage immigrant, i.e. someone who came to the country for the purpose of getting married to a native (Statistics Korea). South Korea, a traditionally homogeneous society, has seen an increase in marriage immigrants, primarily women, in recent years. Multicultural families face a variety of challenges. Marriage immigrants experience cultural and lifestyle differences, language problems, poverty, and domestic violence. In 2011, the divorce rate in multicultural families reached 10 percent and the average length of a marriage that ended in divorce was 4.9 years (Statistics Korea). …

Impact Of Intellectual Property Promotion For Small And Medium Sized Enterprises (Smes) In South Korea: An Examination Of Ip Star Program Impact, Jongseok Yoon

As a result, the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) has initiated support services for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.

The Demonic Women Of Premodern Japanese Theatre, Jasmine C.E. Umeno

Scripps Senior Theses

This thesis aims to examine the ways in which women are used as vehicles within the noh and kabuki theatre traditions to perpetuate moral and religious doctrine. Using the theoretical frameworks of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Jill Dolan, I examine two plays which feature a female demon as their antagonist, Momijigari and Dojoji, and focus on the ways they incorporate Buddhist and Neo-Confucian ideology in their respective noh and kabuki renditions.

I, Stereotype: Detained In The Uncanny Valley, Seo-Young J. Chu

Publications and Research

In "I, Stereotype," Seo-Young Chu applies Mori's theory of the uncanny valley not to robots but to a different species of humanoid artifact: stereotypes of the "yellow peril." Through analyses of stories by Sax Rohmer, World War Two propaganda, and films from the Bond franchise, Chu investigates ways in which the logic of the uncanny valley has interacted with and shaped Orientalist and techno-Orientalist stereotypes (as well as the stereotype-as-a-perceived-type-of-person more generally). In the process, Chu explores what it means to find one's ethnic group detained in the uncanny valley, what it means to use stereotyping as a time-saving technology …

Heterogeneous Time And Space: Han Shaogong’S Rethinking Of Chinese Modernity, Yanjie Wang

Asian and Asian American Studies Faculty Works

This article is set against the post-Mao official discourse on modernity, in which the conceptualization of a homogeneous, progressive time dominates the public consciousness. The focus is on Han Shaogong, one of the most important writers and cultural theorists in contemporary China, and on how he imagines a heterogeneous spatiotemporality away from the centralized and teleological paradigm. Han’s emphasis on the heterogeneity of time and space puts the homogenized, Hegelian-Marxist, developmentalist logic at the core of China’s modernization project into question. The article begins by examining how the linear and evolutionary concept of time has determined the perception of history …

Violence, Wuxia, Migrants: Jia Zhangke’S Cinematic Discontent In A Touch Of Sin, Yanjie Wang

Asian and Asian American Studies Faculty Works

This article examines the representation of violence in Jia Zhangke's film A Touch of Sin (2013) in light of Žižek's theory of ‘objective violence’ and the wuxia tradition. Jia attempts to understand the rise of individual violent incidents during China's post-socialist transformations by laying out the social, historical and political milieus in which they take place. He unveils the Žižekian objective violence hidden in the realm of social normality, pinpointing the country's sins of collusion with the global capital to impose injustice on the poor and disadvantaged. Invoking the wuxia genre, Jia portrays the protagonists not so much as perpetrators …

Brewing Behind Barbed Wire: An Archaeology Of Saké At Amache, Christian Driver

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

After the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, approximately 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry living on the west coast of the United States were forcibly removed from their home communities. These people were designated as "evacuees" by the U.S. Government and were incarcerated within a network of federal government facilities the largest of which were internment centers operated by the War Relocation Authority that held mostly U.S. citizens. The Granada Relocation Center (Amache) was the smallest of these internment centers. The presence of saké at Amache indicates that Japanese Americans continued important practices of daily life despite …

A History Of Transplants: A Study Of Entryway Gardens At Amache, David Holden Garrison

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Previous research shows that during the period of Japanese American internment gardening became a popular activity for the interned. Primarily approached historically, little work has been conducted to archaeologically analyze the efforts of landscaping by former internees. Gardening activity can paint a better picture of Japanese American identity during the period of forced confinement. This research investigates internee gardens methodologically through surface survey, ground penetrating radar, excavation, oral history, soil chemistry, archaeobotany, and palynology. The thorough investigation of landscaping efforts of internees builds upon knowledge of expression within Japanese American relocation centers, as well as the understanding of a lineage …

The Choice Of Technology And Equilibrium Wage Rigidity, Haiwen Zhou

Economics Faculty Publications

In this general equilibrium model, firms engage in oligopolistic competition and choose increasing returns technologies to maximize profits. Capital and labor are the two factors of production. The existence of efficiency wages leads to unemployment. The model is able to explain some interesting observations of the labor market. First, even though there is neither long-term labor contract nor costs of wage adjustment, wage rigidity is an equilibrium phenomenon: an increase in the exogenous job separation rate, the size of the population, the cost of exerting effort, and the probability that shirking is detected will not change the equilibrium wage rate. …
