Translation of Earthliness: An Exploration of Translation Dislocation of Folk Language in Chin P'ing Mei in Late Ming Dynasty within the Framework of Aesthetic Reception

As the first full-lenght satiric novel, Jin Ping Mei (Chin P'ing Mei), written by Lanling Xiaoxiao Sheng at the end of the Ming Dynasty, elaborates the social and worldly affairs comprehensively through vivid language and skillful usage of literary devices. Due to the richness of the folk language for the language forms, and the differences and great colloquial and regional characteristics to the Western readers in the geographical and time facets, for the purpose of reception in the target culture, the translator gives adjustment or modification to folk languages forms like dialect, slang, idiom, and proverbs, etc., which engenders certain translation dislocation to some extent. Through qualitative and comparative analyses, this paper aims to offer a preliminary exploration of the basic paradigm, causes, and construction process of the translation dislocation of the folk language in those two English translation versions of Jin Ping Mei from the four dimensions of readers' expectation horizons, aesthetic distance, integration of horizons, and the construction of respond-inviting structures under the perspective of aesthetic reception theory, so as to provide an avenue for English readers to delve into the peculiar translation dislocation of the folk language in the translation of Chinese classical works.

An idea to explore: Student-centered scientific and medical writing project and workshop for undergraduate students.

Writing is usually integrated in the curriculum of science studies. However, students often lack the skills to write for various audiences or, to produce a well written manuscript. We developed a concise project of 15 European Credits to improve the writing skills in an early phase of the bachelor study. Students worked on texts from various journals and looked at the writing styles. They rewrote texts in a popular and more scientific way and practiced with clear, vivid language, avoiding clutter and hedge words, considering a proper use of grammar and interpunction. Medical writing was also introduced during the project. Grading was based on rewriting for a non-expert and expert audience. A rewritten text was presented to the public in the form of a student-initiated survey. This project shows an inverted approach creating student ownership and enthusiasm for writing. In addition, we created and tested successfully a concise two-day workshop based on this project. Based on the results we herewith present the work as an idea to explore.

The German-American physician and philologist Achilles Rose (1839-1916), the grand Philhellene

Achilles Rose, a German-American physician of the late 19th century, became famous for his persistent global struggle to promote the Hellenic language as the official language in medicine and science in general. Having studied in Zurich, Jena, and New York, he became a general practice physician. His most well-known medical treatise was “The Carbonic Acid in Medicine”, and he was the author of various works celebrating the Greeks and their vivid language. The Medical Society of Athens elected him as a member of a committee for such a purpose. Although Latin appeared to have won this linguistic battle, Hellenic terms eventually conquered international nomenclature. Greece must not forget this valiant Philhellene.

Prospects and Obstacles on the Path of Chinese’s Rise as a Global Language in the Context of the Internet

Abstract In this paper, the video retrieval technique based on model migration makes full use of the migration learning technique to build a text encoder and video encoder to obtain text and video features. The text is preprocessed based on the BERT model, and text features are extracted by combining TF-IDF and mutual information. The logistic regression algorithm is applied to achieve text classification. The text mining techniques above are used to parse YouTube Chinese learning resources to extract their dissemination features. The results show that 5,286 (61.48%) of YouTube Chinese learning resources are from the category of “education,” and 2,294 (26.68%) are from the category of “people and blogs.” The video resources category is the most popular and loved category among learners due to its highest average number of views (1238214.3). The dissemination is significantly impacted by teachers’ performance, vivid language, and interaction during the teaching process. The indirect effect value test between online interaction, technical support, and resource quality, as well as satisfaction and intention to continue using, met the criterion of significance (p<0.05). It indicates that perceived usefulness has a significant indirect effect (P<0.01) on the impact of knowledge dissemination. This study clarifies the dissemination influences that led to the rise of Chinese resources in the global context.

My Opinion on Urban Figure Ink Painting

There are skillful and clumsy works, and ancient and modern paintings. Since the development of ink and wash figure painting, there have been many themes of ancient costumes, ethnic minorities, and drama, but there are few themes of urban characters. It seems that there are special reasons for this. Traditional Chinese ink and wash character themes generally focus on ancient costumes, with long and complex clothing patterns. Many Chinese character painters nowadays depict a large number of Tibetan people, dance figures, or new ladies. The characters have long clothing patterns and lines, and their shapes are also closer to traditional ancient costume character costumes. Therefore, it is relatively easy to graft traditional pen and ink programs onto the above-mentioned themes, which is quite lazy in the current innovation of ink characters. In the process of socialization today, urban culture is an important representation of modern culture. If we continue to draw contemporary urban characters in a conservative traditional ink style, it will feel out of place. The theme of urban figures is a major challenge and opportunity in the process of Chinese figure painting. How to use more vivid language to depict urban characters is an important topic that contemporary Chinese character painters need to ponder deeply.

Seen through Deep Time: Occult Clairvoyance and Palaeoscientific Imagination

Abstract Dating from the middle of the nineteenth century, prominent paranormal researchers in Britain and the United States began to claim that they could see through time. Using clairvoyant powers, they proposed to solve the mysteries of geology and palaeontology, not least by filling in the missing links in the evolution of life. This article explores the literary outputs of these figures, with an especial focus on the Anglo-American ‘psychometers’ William and Elizabeth Denton and selected members of the Theosophical Society, including Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. I argue that clairvoyants’ narratives of exploration in the prehistoric past were heavily indebted not just to the technical concepts of mainstream palaeoscience, but also to the figurative language and visual iconography used by palaeoscientists and science writers, including their metaphors of necromancy and visual spectacle. The vivid language of Victorian palaeoscience, crafted to see the unseeable events of prehistory, has been studied in depth by students of literature and science; recently, literary scholars have paid increasing attention to the imaginative prose of occult science writing. I bring these bodies of scholarship together, contesting that Romantic conceptions of science motivated paranormal researchers to literalize the figurative language of time-travel deployed by more orthodox palaeoscientists. Examining the work of the Dentons, Blavatsky, and others, I show that that the vivid literature of palaeoscience inspired a realm where practitioners on the fringes of elite science could make bold if precarious claims, instilling individual agency into the abysm of deep time.

Border Fetishism: Decolonizing of the Imaginary Border Ideology and Discourse

Then Presidential Candidate Toxic Orange, during his political campaign for president, promoted his xenophobic and racist ideology by stating that all immigrants crossing the US imaginary border without inspection were rapists and drug dealers. The vitriolic speech and vivid language used to demonize and dehumanize individuals seeking a better life and to contribute to the US economy, found acceptance and support in a significant portion of the population and mainstream media. This article will describe the social construction of the Mexico-US border as an object and place for wild ideology and discourse based in white supremacist and racist premises. Additionally, a concept named the Border fetishism will be used to analyze this phenomenon that is at the same time, attractive and repulsive, for many US residents and where dreams, rejections, and aspirations live and compete, in the same space.

ОСЛОВЛЕННЯ РОСІЙСЬКО-УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ВІЙНИ У ПОЛЬСЬКИХ ЛІТЕРАТУРНИХ РЕПОРТАЖАХ: ТРАГЕДІЯ ЛЮДИНИ В ЕПОХУ ПОСТПРАВДИ

The Revolution of Dignity and the war in the East of Ukraine caused the active emergence and formation of a whole segment of the new national literature, in which a special place was occupied by non-fiction: reportages, memoirs and recollections of the direct participants of these landmark events in the recent history of Ukraine. On the other hand, the appearance of collections of Polish literary reports by P. Pieniążek and T. Grzewaczewski about the Russian-Ukrainian war in the Donbass, about existence on the front line, as well as in other quasi-republics on the territories of post-Soviet states, resulted in an active public discussion also in Polish society about the causes and cardinal and irreversible consequences of armed conflicts in the life of a person, family, nation. The article analyzes for the first time in Ukrainian literary studies the way in which the vivid language of witnesses of dramatic events in the territories over which the „shadow” of Russian imperialism still hangs, conveys their deep personal stories of struggle for their own „truth”, painful losses, daily reconstruction of the destroyed reality, evacuation and preservation of home as the place of the only refuge. The article discusses in general the way of awareness, structuring and acceptance of a new reality through a non-artistic presentation of reality. Separate research attention has been focused on the reporters’ and their co-interlocutors’ reflections on the complex process of identity formation in the struggle against Soviet nostalgia, ideological manipulation and Russian propaganda, regional contradictions and under the influence of traumatic experiences of loss. This is the first attempt to explore the insightful observations and conversations the two reporters had about the war’s touching of human relations – the civil- ian population living in the basements of bombed-out houses, and the military, defending the front lines (on both sides). With careful use of literary metaphors and comparisons, the reportages by P. Pieniążek and T. Grzywaczewski are yet another important voice in the literature on the war caused by Russia, in addition to Ukrainian self-reflection.

Review of &lt;i&gt;Apophatic Literary Criticism. Notes of a Non-philologist&lt;/i&gt;

Apophatic Literary Criticism. Notes of a Non-philologist’ by Marianna Dudareva demonstrates Russian spirit and reflects the immense variety of characters and plots that influence people and manifest the creative power of literature. The author introduces a number of writers, from Sergei Yesenin to Vladimir Korolenko, with unique literary styles and a common apophatic approach to reality. The term apophatic comes from the Greek word to deny and initially referred to religious studies where it served both as a concept and a method. Apophatic theology attempted to approach God by negations rather than affirmations of what God is. M. Dudareva’s work showcases how literature studies instrumentalize the apophatic method of philosophy. This review complements the study with a reflection on the topic of death and its inextricable connection with life. Literature speaks of life and dwells on the struggle for life, that is also key to philosophical thinking. Enough to mention Arthur Schopenhauer and his idea of the will to live. In contrast to philosophy, literature uses a vivid, colorful, and copious language, while philosophy is concerned with universal principles. Some distinguished authors managed to bridge this gap. For instance, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, and Sartre created works of both literary and philosophical nature. The same can be traced in the short stories by B. Zaytsev and A. Grin, analyzed in the book. B. Zaytsev writes about death approaching us first through others, this idea is also found in V. Jankélévitch’s work Death. Death is never ours for it is always we or our death, but when we see it around it causes anxiety and fear. In Avdot’ya-smert’ (Avdot’ya-Death) the main character says a prayer to be relieved of her mother and son, whom she considers a burden. Once death enters their home it never stops, it gets closer, and at the end of the story it takes Avdot’ya too. In Grin’s Fighting Death, death struck Lorkh falls asleep and herein dreaming is not a harbinger of the darkness of eternal sleep. On the contrary, Lorkh wakes up willful and hopeful, he fights for his life and succeeds. These stories vibrantly illustrate the victory of life over death and death over life as the result of exercising one’s free will. Color in literature is another topic touched upon by the author. M. Dudareva refers to Goethe’s Zur Farbenlehre to speak about contrasts, and R. Steiner to underline the importance of black in creating an image where color range matches the emotional range.

The Materiality of Monetary Value in Martial’s Epigrams

This paper examines representations of money in the epigrams of Martial. I argue that Martial’s poetics are deeply influenced by some of money’s economic functions, even if many of these functions are approached through networks of amicitia. By engaging with the indeterminacy of what can be called exchange value, Martial identifies an aesthetic dimension that becomes central to his humor. The form of value described by his paradoxical poetics of cash implies a category of matter that is at once sensuous and abstract, autonomous and dependent upon other modes of valuation. I focus on the sensuality of this abstract matter, its failure to become entirely impersonal, and on Martial’s habit of using deictic language to gesture to its presence. Such an aestheticization of monetary value differs from more familiar techniques of using vivid language to flesh out moral or satirical attitudes to wealth or the ways in which it is acquired. It instead approaches the instability of money as an object of inspiration in its own right, one that supports the epigrammatist’s habit of taking up postures throughout his corpus of poems, and of maintaining a degree of detachment between his voice and its pronouncements.

Exploring the Experiences of Chinese Wushu Majors in Their Career Transition to Korean TAEKWONDO Leaders

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to apply a phenomenological approach, a qualitative research method, to explore the common experiences of Wushu majors in China in the process of giving up their move-ments and transitioning to Korean Taekwondo leaders. Method: For the selection of participants in the study, 6 participants aged 27 to 30 years old with experience in Wushu with more than 10 years of experience in competition as a student athlete were selected as a purpos-ive sampling method among nonprobability sampling. In the analysis process, through the analysis framework of Giorgi s 4th stage the analysis process is conducted to identify text content from a holistic perspective, seg-mentation of semantic units, transformation into academic language, and integrating the converted semantic units into a structure. Results: The results of the study were divided into situational structured statements and general structured statements, and in the situational structured statement, 5 elements, 16 sub-elements, and a total of 54 seman-tic units were found. According to the data analysis, five major components were found in the meaning of a Chinese Wushu major s career transition to a Korean Taekwondo leader: a hardened Wushu education sys-tem , a lack of Wushu operation management system , choice of Taekwondo as a popular job , and regret and desire of giving up on Wushu . Conclusion: This study suggest in concrete and vivid language why Wushu majors, who represent Chinese culture and are loved by Chinese people, switch to Taekwondo leaders. It was possible to examine the reasons why Wushu majors drop out, and through this, it was possible to discover the intrinsic and external problems perceived by Wushu majors. In addition, it is said that the research is meaningful in that it has suggested pro-posal for the sustainable development of Wushu majors through the research results.

Recognition of the appearance and fashion style of women who experience childbirth

The aims of this study are to explore the experiences of modern Korean women who experience childbirth and to examine the perceptions of body and appearance in everyday life and how fashion provides a means of self-expression. The study utilizes focused ethnography (a qualitative research method) of cultural technology magazines, conducted to observe women’s behavior and language, and to explore their life values, such as beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors in fashion style in everyday life. The purpose of this study is to reveal the actual meaning of childbirth, the resulting change in appearance, and patterns of specific style expression. This will enable a better understanding of the experiences of married women with children in Korea using vivid language, by which an in-depth understanding of their lives may be promoted. A survey of 24 women (aged 25~40) who had experienced pregnancy and childbirth were included in the study, categorized as early pregnancy, pre-birth, and post-birth parenting. Subcategories were derived as “unfeasible pregnancy,” “unpredictable and unprepared anxiety,” “self-awareness of changing bodies,” “pressure on healthy bodies,” “opportunity to let go of pressure on appearance management,” “pressure on hard parenting,” and “experience of change in unmanaged areas.” Pregnant women and women with children demonstrated tastes and preferences in style suitable for differentiated situations and roles, along with perceptions of appearance.

О поэтике олонхо «Нюргун Боотур Стремительный» П. А. Ойунского и тувинских героических эпосов

Introduction. The article provides a comparative analysis of artistic expressiveness means inherent to the Yakut Olonkho and Tuvan epics. The point is that poetics of the epic work Nurgun Bootur the Swift by P. A. Oyunsky recreated on the basis of folk tales has actually remained understudied, and this paper fills the gap. Goals. The work — as part of Yakut folklore studies — makes the first attempt to consider poetics and the system of artistic techniques of the Olonkho Nurgun Bootur the Swift in comparison to Tuvan heroic epics. Methods. The study employs a comprehensive approach that includes comparative historical and typological research methods. Results. The comparative analysis concludes that P. Oyunsky’s Nurgun Bootur the Swift is based on the principles of traditional folk epic, and reveals parallels to Tuvan heroic narratives. Special attention is paid to the means of artistic expression — hyperbole and comparison. There are functional semantic dependence and structural unity indicating a typological similarity of the epic works examined. The vivid language of Tuvan epic narratives and that of P. Oyunsky’s Olonkho are explicitly characterized by elements observed in heroic epic proper, and the poetic analysis shows the Yakut text is distinguished by artistic completeness. So, P. Oyunsky revived the Yakut heroic epic, enriched its conceptual/thematic essentials — to strengthen the unique poetic form.

Whats and Hows? The Practice-Based Typology of Narrative Analyses

The nature of qualitative research practices is multiparadigmaticity which creates coexistence of different research and analytical approaches to the study of human experience in the living world. This diversity is particularly observed in the contemporary field of narrative research and data analysis. The purpose of this article is a methodological reflection on the process of developing typology and a proposition of new data-driven and practice-based typology of narrative analyses used by qualitative researchers in the lived experience research. I merge the CAQDAS, Corpus Linguistics, and Text Mining procedures to examine the analytical strategies inherited in a vivid language of English-language research articles, published in five influential qualitative methodological journals between 2002-2016. Using the dictionary-based content analysis in the coding process, hierarchical clustering, and topic modeling – a text-mining tool for discovering hidden semantic structures in a textual body – I confront Catherine Kohler Riessman’s heuristic typology with the data-driven approach in order to contribute the more coherent image of narrative analysis in the contemporary field of qualitative research. Finally, I propose a new model of thinking about the typology of narrative analyses based upon research practices.
