論張愛玲的"無父文本"和女性家長的主體建構, Chin Chown Lim Jan 1999

論張愛玲的"無父文本"和女性家長的主體建構, Chin Chown Lim

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

面對父系主流文化的強勢語言,五四時期以來的女性作家想要 (意識或潛意識的) 在其文本中建構女性主體,無疑處於一個較為不利的困境裏。在傳統父權體制中被收編在他者位置上的女性,包括女性作家及其筆下的女性角色,其主體性都難逃複雜微妙的父權二元對立思維。這能夠說明何以張愛玲小說中所湧現的眾多女性家長,其主體性都具有較為複雜微妙的矛盾性。同樣的,在一種不穩定、焦慮和模糊的女性敘述中,要探討同樣不穩定、焦慮和模糊的女性主體和自主意識問題,也是閱讀上的一個難題。


Visualizing Ah Q : An Allegory's Resistance To Representation, Harry H. Kuoshu Jan 1999

Visualizing Ah Q : An Allegory's Resistance To Representation, Harry H. Kuoshu

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

Ah Q, Lu Xun's portraiture of Chinese national character figured in a rural rogue, has been an enigma in its representations. Lu Xun's text presents an interesting allegorical irony: while the experience of Ah Q reveals a mentality which makes his otherwise trivial anecdotes interesting, he, as Leo Ou- fan Lee observes, "is a body without an interior self, a face in the crowd, and the crowd’s summary mirror-image”. From the visual sense, we may illustrate this irony by taking Ah Q as both a voyeur and a spectacle - by constantly visualizing spectacles which he may victimize, Ah Q …

書寫香港 : 王安憶、施叔育、西西的香港故事, Yin Ha Chan Jan 1999

書寫香港 : 王安憶、施叔育、西西的香港故事, Yin Ha Chan

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

作者嘗試透過王安憶的〈香港的情與愛〉、施叔青的《她名叫蝴蝶》和西西的《飛氈》,探討表述的複雜本質,其中當然牽涉本土聲音、自我/他者、作家的自我定位等問題。正如作者所說,今天自作者與他者已經難有一個簡單的界分,作者的目的並不在於分辨誰的才是“本土聲音”,而是希望從她們的自我定位與寫作位置出發,一方面分析她們的書寫策略如何與本土/外來、殖民/反殖民、身分政治等後殖民論述的核心課題交結糾纏,她們的文本呈現怎樣的(後)殖民面貌;另一方面也透過分析她們的文本,探討當前文化論述的一些問題。

Alienation And The Motif Of The Unlived Life In Liu Heng's Fiction, Birgit Linder Jan 1999

Alienation And The Motif Of The Unlived Life In Liu Heng's Fiction, Birgit Linder

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

Critics have long argued that alienation is the essence of modern culture. Having long served as a theme in literature that profoundly reflects the changes and challenges of modernity, alienation has, after a hiatus of a few decades, undergone a conceptual resurgence during the 1990’s as recent research in the West indicates a correlation with the phenomenon of postmodernity. With the breakdown of communism in vast parts of the world and the development toward pluralistic societies, the field of human possibilities has expanded considerably and the response thereof demands, therefore, a new definition of alienation. If previously alienation signified the …


Eileen Chang And Cinema, Ou Fan, Leo Lee Jan 1999

Eileen Chang And Cinema, Ou Fan, Leo Lee

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

The death of Eileen Chang on September 8, 1995 in Los Angeles made headlines in all the Chinese newspapers. In the Chinese-speaking areas of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China, a veritable cult of mystique has been built around her by both public media and the large number of her fans (who called themselves Chang-mi or "Chang-fans”). However, in the last twenty-three years of her life Chang lived quietly and incognito in Los Angeles, shunning all social contact and escaping publicity by constantly changing her residences in numerous hotels, motels, and small apartment houses until her death in an obscure …

Chinese Cinema And Transnational Cultural Politics : Reflections On Film Festivals, Film Productions, And Film Studies, Yingjin Zhang Jul 1998

Chinese Cinema And Transnational Cultural Politics : Reflections On Film Festivals, Film Productions, And Film Studies, Yingjin Zhang

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

This study situates Chinese cinema among three interconnected concerns that all pertain to transnational cultural politics: (1) the impact of international film festivals on the productions of Chinese films and their reception in the West; (2) the inadequacy of the “Fifth Generation” as a critical term for Chinese film studies; and (3) the need to address the current methodological confinement in Western studies of Chinese cinema. By “transnational cultural politics” here I mean the complicated——and at times complicit—ways Chinese films, including those produced in or coproduced with Hong Kong and Taiwan, are enmeshed in “a larger process in which popular- …

Unwelcome Heroines : Mao Dun And Yu Dafu's Creations Of A New Chinese Woman, Li Chun, Sylvia Lin Jan 1998

Unwelcome Heroines : Mao Dun And Yu Dafu's Creations Of A New Chinese Woman, Li Chun, Sylvia Lin

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

In this essay, I examine fictional works by two of the most influential and progressive male writers of the period—Mao Dun and Yu Dafu - to explore issues concerning the emergence of the new Chinese woman. My study will focus on Mao Dun’s story, “Chuangzao” [Creation], published in 1928, and Yu Dafu’s short novel, Ta shi yi ge ruo nuzi [She is a weak woman], written in 1932. I look at these writers’ depictions of two different types of woman and contemporary Chinese men’s reactions to a new gender relation. Male intellectuals, while heralding the advance of a new Chinese …
