Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 246-258) Presents readings of six novels which depict something of the nature of war trauma. Collectively, the novels suggest that the attempt to narrativise war trauma is inherently problematic. Traces the disjunctions between narrative and war trauma which ensure that war trauma remains an elusive and private phenomonen; the gulf between private experience and public discourse haunts each of the novels.

Abstract:

The Great Plains are prevalent among the literature of the nineteenth century, but receive hardly a single representation among the landscapes of the Hudson River School. This is certainly surprising; the public was teeming with interest in the Midwest and yet the principal landscape painters who aimed to represent and idealize a burgeoning America offered hardly a glance past the Mississippi River. This geographical silence is the result of a tension between idealistic and empirical representations of the land, one echoed in James Fenimore Cooper’s The Prairie, Washington Irving’s A Tour on t

Abstract:

This dissertation argues that numerous parallels exist between Native American literature, especially that by women, and contemporary feminist literary and cultural theories, as both seek to undermine the hierarchy of voice: who can speak? what can be said? when? how? under what conditions? After the ideas find voice, what action is permitted to women? All of these factors influence what African American cultural theorist bell hooks terms the revolutionary gesture of "coming to voice." These essays explore the ways Native American women have voiced their lives through the oral tradition and th

Abstract:

Most contemporary literary theories are either explicitly or implicitly atheistic. This thesis describes a literary theory whose principles are derived from or consistent with Christian theology. It argues against modern objections to such a theory that this is a rationally and ethically legitimate mode of contemporary literary theory. The first half of the thesis constitutes an analysis of deconstruction, of Marxism and of psychoanalysis. These are three of the most influential discourses in modern literary theory, each of which constitutes a significant argument against the existence of God,

This thesis examines Ezra Pound's linguistic theory in relation to literary, philosophical and academic treatments of language in the modernist period. Pound is a central figure in the history of twentieth century literature, and his poetic career marks a sustained engagement with questions of how language can register thought, how it can transmit and communicate images, and, ultimately, how language is able to mediate between artists (or, indeed, language speakers as a whole) and the world.

Abstract:

Although Derrida, Deleuze, and others have shown the centrality of Friedrich Nietzsche's work for contemporary philosophy, the breadth of his influence is only just beginning to be understood in literature. Nietzsche saw himself as a philosopher and as a poet, and wrote in all his major works of the importance of understanding the vital interaction of conceptual thinking and its "practical" application by the litterateur. The place of the philosopher/poet, modelled on Nietzsche himself, was to be considered the highest attainable by man. Yet Nietzsche's elevation of poetic thought contains a d

Abstract:

One of the unfortunate corollaries of poststructuralist theorizing about literary texts has been the equation of a skepticism concerning language with a skepticism concerning meaning. The menace of unrestrained relativism has tended to polarize the critical community into proponents of a 'logo-diffuse' onto-epistemology and proponents of a 'logo-centric' one, and critical practice has followed this lead. The critic who attempts to situate literature within the parameters of such a debate is likely to fail unless he or she appeals to a much more extensive discourse, one which antedates the prov

Contrary to the prevailing opinion, the avant-garde experiment in Ge Fei's works does not intimate the dissipation of the subject, but rather assists in r

Many American novels of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries discuss prostitution.

The American Projectivist verse of Jack Spicer, Charles Olson, and Robert Duncan contains within its poetics many epistemological assumptions shared by quantum physics. These assumptions exist in three broad categories: perception, process, and wholeness. In physics, the epistemology of perception has been profoundly altered by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation, which creates a symbiotic relationship between the observer and the observed.

Expressed Silence: A Study of the Metaphorics of Word in Selected Nineteenth-Century American Texts This dissertation explores the patterned use of certain “metaphors of word”——images of reading, writing, listening, and speaking——in four American texts: Emerson’s Nature, Thoreau’s Walden, Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter, and Melville’s Moby Dick. Assumed in my discussion is the modern view of metaphor as a cognitive device used, not for mere stylistic ornament, but for creating a certain mental perspective. Based on the perspectival view and on the experiential—gestalt account of metaphor

Abstract:

And the Word Was Made Flesh: Anthropomorphism in the poetry of WH Auden examines the reasons for the neglect of Auden’s prolific deployment of anthropomorphism by examining the poetry’s critical reception with a view to understanding what larger purpose, what ‘strategy of discourse’ (Ricoeur 2003, The Rule of Metaphor: 5-9), Auden may have had in mind when he revived a trope traditionally regarded as retrograde. Anxious not to be mistaken for a Modern, yet unable to find a social rhetoric to suit his purposes, Auden elected upon a new style of poetry which questioned the very foundations of l

"從宋代詩話看杜甫詩的經典化". 2012. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b5549363.

Full text

Abstract:

杜甫詩是中國古典文學的經典，其經典地位奠定於有宋一代。本文以宋代詩話為考察對象，分析文學批評和杜詩經典化的關係，主要內容如下：<br>首先，本文將討論文壇領袖對杜詩的讚賞，如何演化為整個文壇的普遍觀念。文中指出蘇軾和黃庭堅是杜詩的發明者，二人對杜詩的評價，得到宋詩話的熱烈回應，意義不斷得到擴展和深化，由個人詮釋演化為宋人的集體認知，從而確立了杜詩的典範性。蘇軾「一飯未嘗忘君」的評語，經由詩話的討論和闡釋，最終令杜詩得「詩中六經」的評價。黃庭堅「無一字無來處」的評語，也促使詩話研究杜詩出處和用事手法蔚為風氣，不僅確立了杜甫好用事的特徵，也使杜詩成為宋詩風格的模範。<br>其次，本文探討宋代政治和文化背景對宋人接受杜甫的影響。在「李杜優劣」此一議題上，杜詩得到凌駕李白的地位，批評家看重詩歌內容的社會意義多於藝術性，反映唐宋人期待視野的轉移。宋人對杜甫「詩史」的讚譽，也與宋型文化和南宋戰禍連年有密切關係。宋詩話特別重視杜甫和安史之亂有關的詩作，因為安史之亂與宋代歷史背景有不少相似之處，宋人藉著詮釋杜詩的義理，投射了對胡人的痛恨、戰亂中的自傷之情和淑世理想。宋人憑藉認同杜甫，達至自我認同；通過詮釋杜詩，而完成自我呈現。杜甫在安史之亂中的遭遇，使他成了盛唐詩人中最能引發宋人共鳴者，也為宋人的詮釋提供了前提。宋詩話慣以比興和用事手法解釋杜詩，也使杜詩的詮釋空間擴大，更能貼合宋人的情感寄託。<b
