Zange And Sorge: Two Models Of 'Concern' In Comparative Philosophy Of Religion, James Mark Shields Feb 2013

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 Jan 2013

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 Jan 2013

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 Jan 2013

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 Jan 2013

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 Jan 2013

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 Jan 2013

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 …


Postmodernity, Hegemony, Sexuality, Alderson David Jan 2013

Postmodernity, Hegemony, Sexuality, Alderson David

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Michel Foucault influentially dismissed 'Freudo-Marxism' in his History of Sexuality, vol. 1. This paper, by contrast, proposes a critique of postmodern theory, as well as theories of postmodernity, in proposing a return to the preoccupations of Herbert Marcuse in relation to sexuality. Specifically, the paper suggests that we must take account of the transformations in capitalism that have taken place since Marcuse's time when revisiting his work, but that his category of the performance principle is now even more relevant than it was when he elaborated it. Nonetheless, his theory of repressive desublimation is revised as repressive incitement, and a …


The Concept Of "Tianji" In Ancient Chinese Literary Criticism Under The Perspective Of Phenomenology, Jing Zhang Jan 2013

The Concept Of "Tianji" In Ancient Chinese Literary Criticism Under The Perspective Of Phenomenology, Jing Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This paper attempts to reflect the concept of "tianji (Heaven's secret)" from the perspective of phenomenology. It claims that "tianji" is an important concept in literary creation theory, and it maintains that the understanding of the concept should focus on the following five elements: 1) the accidental moment of spirituality in the aesthetic subject, 2) artistic vitality, 3) the intrinsic aesthetic formation, 4) the aesthetic intention within the aesthetic subject, and 5) the secret power of universe and nature. The paper claims that quite a few concepts in phenomenology can be used to illuminate our understanding of "tianji." The theory …


The Mythistorical Pattern In The Studies On Origins Of Civilization, Qian Wang Jan 2013

The Mythistorical Pattern In The Studies On Origins Of Civilization, Qian Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The concept of mythistory is developed in the period of the New Historiography, and it is closely related to the changing concept of history. Mythistory takes mythology as a narrative origin of history, and thus the fundamental confrontation between mythology and history is dissolved. In the research on the origins of civilization, the mythistorical pattern aims to explore how myths enter history, and to investigate the shaping function of myths in the formation of civilization. Advocators of this pattern generally agree that the mythology as metahistory is the narrative dynamic mechanism behind the emergence of history.


The Rhetoric Of "New Manchu": With A Focus OnNew ManchuMagazine In Puppet Manchurian State, Xiaoli Liu Jan 2013

The Rhetoric Of "New Manchu": With A Focus OnNew ManchuMagazine In Puppet Manchurian State, Xiaoli Liu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Manchukuo, a puppet state of Japan in the northeastern part of China, tried to create an ideology of New Manchu. This paper explored how Manchu was turned into New Manchu, and then discussed the imperialist logic behind the rhetoric of New Manchu. The logic implied that Japan was advanced, civilized and attractive but Manchu was underdeveloped, inferior and uncivilized. Further to the assumption was that Manchu needed to be educated and transformed by Japan. The paper proceeded to discuss who could be the happy subjects under the governance of Manchukuo, and from there the paper tries to deconstruct the hypocritical …


On Liu Xizai's Paradox About The Exhaustibility Of Meaning, Xingchuan Tao Jan 2013

On Liu Xizai's Paradox About The Exhaustibility Of Meaning, Xingchuan Tao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Liu Xizai in his General Principles of Arts proposed a paradoxical idea about exhausting the inexhaustibility of meaning with the inexhaustible, and this paper claims that his idea points at the fundamental function of aesthetic creativity. The ideas developed in Liu's book cover two sides. On the one hand, the book explicates the concept of the inexhaustibility of meaning from three aspects: the infiniteness of the macro and the micro dimensions, the incompatibility between language and meaning, and the infiniteness in the finiteness. On the other hand, the book explains the approaches to exhaust the inexhaustible from three aspects: writing …


Theoretical Traces Of Raymond Williams' "Structures Of Feeling" And "Cultural Materialism", Jifang Duan Jan 2013

Theoretical Traces Of Raymond Williams' "Structures Of Feeling" And "Cultural Materialism", Jifang Duan

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

"Structures of Feeling" is an important concept in Raymond Williams' aesthetic theory of "Cultural Materialism", and it is the starting point of his Marxist aesthetics and underlies the different stages of his theoretical development. The concept of "the structure of feeling" provides both an anchor point for retrospective criticism on his cultural materialism aesthetics and a point of departure for delineating the trajectory of his theoretical development and implications. The paper advocates a close reading of theory as it may provide an important approach to understand Williams' Marxist cultural theory as that it represents a way to break away from …


Critique Of Foucault's Theory Of Discourse, Xian Zhou Jan 2013

Critique Of Foucault's Theory Of Discourse, Xian Zhou

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

"French theory" is another expression for the post-structuralist thought in France, with Foucault's theory of discourse being the most influential, and constructivism lies at the core of the theory. On the one hand, the theory of discourse highlights the function discourse performs in constructing subjectivity and the reality; on the other hand, it aims to reveal the symbiotic relation between the power and knowledge behind discourse. Thus, the theory dissolves the cognitive agency of the subject while foregrounding the subject's construction of discourse, and it highlights the representational practice of discourse while forecloses the social material practice of the non-discourse. …


Dialectics Between Politics And Literature: On Overseas Studies In Chinese Literature, Jin Ji Jan 2013

Dialectics Between Politics And Literature: On Overseas Studies In Chinese Literature, Jin Ji

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This paper surveys and reflects on the overseas researches on the relationship between Marxism and modern Chinese literature. Through critical analyses of major studies on Left-Wing literature and writers as well as case studies sinicization of Marxist aesthetic ideology, the paper tries to expose the struggle between knowledge and power and reveal the complexity of mutual stimulus between internal and external factors. The paper points out that the study of the sinicization of Marxism should discard the grand historical narrative with one dominant voice and be re-positioned into the multiple voiced historical site. The paper concludes that overseas studies have …


Four Characteristics Of Ancient Chinese Aesthetics, Fa Zhang Jan 2013

Four Characteristics Of Ancient Chinese Aesthetics, Fa Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The paper maintains that four characteristics can be observed about Chinese ancient aesthetics. The first one is concerned with the Chinese view of the cosmos, the second with Chinese view of the human world, while the third is concerned with the fact that Chinese theoretical norm is developed through a culture emphasizing on its totality instead of differentiality, the fourth with the cultural variety during the historical development.
