Analysis on the Living Situation of Chinese Intellectuals in Wang Mengs Novel Huo Dong Bian Ren Xing

In the new period of literary thinking, literary artists try to re-integrate the missing image of intellectuals into history through self-imagination. The reinvented older generation of intellectuals still have strong beliefs even though they suffer from physical and mental torture. Wang Meng, the author of Huo Dong Bian Ren Xing (Move-to-Turn into Human Forms), combines his personal experience to create a completely different image, showing a real individual. He boldly shows the actual living state of his fathers generation, with the protagonist Ni Wucheng as a failure in many aspects, including his career, family, and conduct. From the perspective of colonial culture, this paper explores the living situation of Chinese intellectuals between the 1940s and 1980s by analyzing the cultural background and structure of the characters in Wang Mengs novel Huo Dong Bian Ren Xing. It can be concluded that Ni Wucheng was affected by the colonial culture. He was addicted to the illusion of Western material civilization and ignored its spiritual essence. At the same time, he could not get rid of the deep-rooted bad habits of the Chinese nation, using a compromising attitude to avoid problems and failing to truly recognize himself until his death. Ni Zao, his son, who also belonged to the intelligentsia, was also unable to completely eradicate the colonial culture at the time of his fathers trial due to the lack of a genuine cultural theory system belonging to his own nation.

"Writer’s Journalism" and its Historical Principles

             The distinguishing feature of the modern era - "the era  of the explosion of scientific and technical progress" - is that the volume, possession, dissemination of information reaches unprecedented levels. The vital importance of information "intruded"  more and more  into the daily life of people, into the spheres of socio-political life. Information changes the world. In the period of contemporary transformations of our life, in the age of "information wars", the word acquires a magical power, and the oral and written communication between people shows an invaluable potential. In this general background, within the framework of the legal space of freedom of speech and expression in our country, journalism is regaining its mission: with opinion columns, editorial speeches, public words, so-called  blogs.  So far, only in terms of forms, but in content and ethical standards we are still far from the desired. The term  "writerly journalism" is not new, but not that  old either, it basically refers to journalistic writings created by writers. Literary journalism fills and strengthens the space of the writer's creative thinking, gives him/her an opportunity to openly express what he/she has to say in the form of documentary prose, beyond  the  purely literary thinking.  The history of Georgian public thought has a great creative tradition of "written journalism". The term is relatively new,  otherwise the event is  completely natural for the Georgian reality. The best examples of journalism belong to the pen of our classic writers, and it is they who think  through  the paradigms of  "writing journalism": Vazha-Pshavela, Ilia Chavchavadze, Akaki Tsereteli. The ideas of Otar Chiladze and Jemal Karchkhadze are the paradigms of publicistic writing  of our time in the 20th century. Their reasoning, reflected in the dialogues, is exclusively literary. This unique material, captured by historical memory, will serve as a model for journalism students; Perhaps it will be of interest to writer-journalists  in the format of opinion and analysis, as well as to  those interested in publicistic issues  and  history  in general.

Disinterested and Critical: A Comparative Study of the Social Implications of Miu Fenglin and Matthew Arnolds Literary Thinking

According to previous scholarship, Chinas Xueheng literary school in the early 20th century is an antagonist to the then prevalent New Culture Movement as the former is claimed to insist on a conservation of traditional thoughts. Matthew Arnolds thinking is a major source of one representative figure of the Xueheng school, Miu Fenglin. A comparative analysis of the literary thinking of Matthew Arnold and Miu Fenglin suggests that both thinkers have actually shed light on how literature should be relevant to its time and transcend it with a pursuit of truth. With references to the thinkers respective social backgrounds, the paper contends that their literary thoughts offer critical perspectives into the societies. By bringing in the cases of Miu Fenglin and Matthew Arnold, the paper also intends to further the discussion of the role of literature in the society.

Essay on the Role of Video Games in Teaching Literature

In an era of continuous digitalization, teachers turn to new technology in order to adapt to the universe of their students, to remain relevant in this constant change of interests. Students are motivated by elements of popular culture, being constantly exposed to an environment that is rich in information and textual patterns. And yet, what is the connection between literature and video games? Is there such a connection in the first place? Students need guidance when it comes to developing their literary skills of analysis and communication, as well as literary thinking. Hours dedicated to integrating video games in our educational environment corresponds to students’ passions, highlighting one of their major interest, represented by entertainment in a virtual environment. We can all see this happening when it comes to our students. They can be easily absorbed by any kind of virtual reality that may encounter, but it is so hard to get the same reaction from them when it comes to a classical way of teaching. Until now, reading competences and literary skills were applied to books. But the same skills can be applied to many other mediums in which storytelling plays out the main role, such as comics, movies, and video games. Video games have evolved from a simple means of entertainment to a tool of deep quality learning. Often, students feel that they are a more significant part of a story within a video game that in the environment created by books. Let’s face it! Students love to play, but sometimes they hate to read, especially when they feel forced to do so. The need for teachers to examine video games as literature starts from students’ lack of interest in reading, which comes from the way they lived their lives until now, growing up spending more time playing video games than reading books. This is a reality that we do not only need to accept, but also to adapt to it and to make the best out of it. But how can we use video games to teach literature and develop the analytical skills of our students?

Exploring the therapeutic potential of reading: Case studies in diary-assisted reading.

This article explores the impact that literary texts can have on real lives and considers how, as researchers, we can get closer to the authentic, first-hand experience of reading to better understand its potential therapeutic mechanisms. Three case studies, based on reading diaries kept over a period of 2 weeks and subsequent semi-structured interviews, are presented here, to demonstrate what it is that literature can do to and for us. The methodology used to collect the case studies offers a simple and replicable template both for encouraging deep reading and for capturing its resulting therapeutic and psychological outcomes. By highlighting the real experiences of readers as they encounter and engage with a complex and unfamiliar literary text, this article aims to demonstrate how empirical research methodologies can add new purpose and meaning to literary study, and equally, show how "literary thinking" can contribute to the methodologies of psychological study and the formulation of psychological therapies.

The Novel's Cybernetic Hypothesis: Coetzee and McCarthy in the Closed World

AbstractHow do novels come to terms with the social and economic structures engendered by big data and surveillance capitalism? This question weighs heavily on J. M. Coetzee's Diary of a Bad Year (2007) and Tom McCarthy's Satin Island (2015), two novels whose intellectual protagonists struggle against systems of data capture and control. Both novels suggest that the ubiquity of computational systems has generated new problems for the form and function of literary thinking in the twenty-first century. The first problem is both practical and aesthetic: how to narrate or describe a world that already diagrams and archives itself in dizzying detail via computational media. The second is theoretical and political: how to conceive of an effective mode of opposition to the political economy of surveillance capitalism. This essay takes account of the formal strategies by which Diary and Satin Island dramatize these aesthetic and political dilemmas. The readings account for these novels’ peculiar endings, both of which suggest a longing to escape the seemingly “closed world” of cybernetic control. The narrators of Diary and Satin Island reach an impasse when they discover that the cybernetic universe has obviated their critical methods, including the ethics of “evasion,” on the one hand, and the humanism of “literalist criticism,” on the other. What if the genre of the novel is no longer capable of generating a critical anthesis to the alienated world of informatic control?

Dual Identity and Self-assertion: A Study of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter

The Scarlet Letter serves as both a critique of society and a window into Hawthorne’s thoughts. In opposition to a patriarchal depiction, he wants to allow women’s individuality some room. He does not advocate setting rules and imposing them on the individual to be governed by them. Thus, he created the character of Hester Prynne who appears as commenting upon the situation of women in the 19thand century of New England society. She struggles to win a place in society and she succeeds in winning it in her revolt against the very order that at the first stage humiliates and condemns her, and accepts and honours her later on. The article traces Hester’s individual rebellion in an alien land against an artificially created corrupt religious and moral order which exploits her body and denies her humanity at first and ultimately bows down to her consistent individual morality and actions. In doing so, the article tries to show certain feminist approaches adopted by the author long before feminism would come to the mainstream of literary thoughts.

明代 唐宋派 문인 茅坤의 생평과 문학 사상에 대한 고찰

In this paper, we looked into the full text of "The Letter to Tang Shunzhi(唐順之)" and "The Letter to Discuss Literature with Cai Runan(蔡汝南)" by Mao Kun(茅坤) of Ming(明) Dynasty, from which we considered the life and the literary thoughts of Mao Kun(茅坤). Mao Kun suffered from the setback in his official life and was frustrated by the tyranny of the powerful people in the midst of a chaotic political situation in the Ming Dynasty. Although he could not succeed as an official man, but later he could enjoy the scenery of the hometown and create his own poetry to mingle with the literary colleagues. He also was absorbed in collecting books and owned a famous library called Baihualou(白華樓). In addition, the business of his family, silk production, was greatly expanded to make him a wealthy merchant, and the descendants of the family flourished. Mao Kun himself lived to the age of 90 and was praised by many people.

Time-Space Relations in the Concepts of Literary Thinking: a Review of Key Ideas

The article deals with key approaches to the definition of the "time" and "space" concepts both in the general scientific context and in philology in particular. It determines the factors forming the time-space coordinate system of a literary work as well as the factors influencing its realization in each specific text. The article provides the analysis of the peculiarities of the chronotope in the collection of poetic works of Serhii Zhadan "Life of Mary". It is determined that the time-space relation in the poetic texts of the collection is presented as a specific paradigm "home – non-home – anti-home". The chronotope of “home” finds its interpretation through the images of lost but one’s own/native space. In turn, the chronotope of "non-home" is interpreted through the images of other people's apartments, cities, travel suitcases, while the chronotope of "anti-home" can be read through the images of death, an abandoned and dead city, a destroyed church, a grave.

載道與抒情：明清之際散文發展的兩種論述兼論古文與小品之關係

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.
 新文學運動時期周作人不滿一般論文學史者對明清散文發展的論述，認爲他們一來抹殺了晚明小品，二來以桐城派概括清代文章太過籠統。因此他標榜晚明小品，推崇公安派的文學觀，甚至引爲新文學運動的同調。他的這一觀點影響巨大，後凡論述明清散文者無不論及小品文，衆多文學史著作也開始重視明清散文，且尤其推崇小品文。然而實際上這一現象的形成有一個發展的過程，背後涉及到了載道與抒情兩種文學觀之間的角力。兩種論述之間何者更爲準確？如何較爲客觀準確的描述明清之際散文的發展，以及古文與小品之間的關係，成爲了問題。本文擬從周作人對明清散文的論述切入，梳理前人對明清散文發展的兩種論述，並揭示這兩種論述背後的文學觀，從而指出周作人二分“言志”與“載道”的論述儘管未必準確，但對論述明清散文發展仍有重要意義：分析明清之際小品文作者的古文觀與古文家的小品文創作，可以知道小品與古文的關係並不如周作人所描述的那般對立，然而周作人所强調的“言志”與“載道”的緊張關係，正正是明清散文演變的内在動力。
 During the New Culture Movement, Chou Tso-jen 周作人 was dissatisfied with general discussions on the development of Ming-Qing prose. He considered that these discussions left late-Ming essays unheeded and that they overgeneralized Qing-dynasty prose and placed it under the Tongcheng 桐城 School. Chou instead promoted late-Ming vignette essays and advocated the literary thoughts of the Gong’an 公安 School, even regarding them as a parallel of those from the New Culture Movement. These thoughts were highly influential. Ever since then, scholars who discussed prose of the Ming and Qing dynasties could not avoid mentioning vignette essays. Consequently, in most studies of Chinese literary history there has been an emphasis on Ming-Qing prose, especially vignette essays. In fact, this phenomenon was formed as a result of the competition of two literary thoughts, namely “representing the Way” 載道 and lyricism. There are some issues worth our consideration: Which of the two literary thoughts is more accurate? How can we evaluate prose development during the Ming-Qing transition in a fair and accurate manner? What is the relationship between classical prose and vignette essays? Starting from Chou’s disagreement with discussions of Ming-Qing prose, the present study aims to clarify the two discussions on the development of the prose of Ming-Qing times and discuss their literary thoughts. Although the discussion of the dichotomy of “expressing one’s aspiration” 言志 and “representing the Way” by Chou is not accurate, his discussion of the development of Ming-Qing prose is of significance. Based on the analysis of the views of classical prose of Ming-Qing essayists, we observe a less tense relationship between vignette essays and classical prose than what Chou discussed. However, his emphasis on the tense relationship between “expressing one’s aspiration” and “representing the Way” became the major motivation for change and development of Ming-Qing prose.
