I.A.Richards’sReconstructionofConfucianismfromthePerspectiveofCriticalTheory/TAOJiajun

Abstract： This study anatomizes the dialogue between the British critic I. A. Richards’ practical criticism and Confucianism as well as the reconstruction of Confucianism in the 20th century Sino-British transcultural flow from the perspective of critical theory. Richards’ reconstruction of Confucianism includes two levels: the reconstruction of Confucian concepts “Zhongyong” and “Cheng” in his theory of practical criticism and his theorization on poetic value; the reconstruction of Mencius’ concept of “Xin” from the perspective of comparative study and his ethic concern. These two levels dynamically represent the turn of Richards’ practical criticism from the critique of poetic value open to the Other China to a comparative survey of the ethic root concerning traditional Chinese civilization and modern western civilization. The significance of Richards’ reconstruction of Confucianism includes: it locates Confucian concepts in a completely new system of world literary knowledge under a positive exploration of the modern poetic value of Confucianism as well as the rationality and legitimacy of the modern transformation of Confucianism; it amply testifies to the universal problematic challenging modern thoughts and theories in transcultural migration, namely, the route of modern civilization and its redemption.

Abstract： Based upon Cognitive Poetics, this article probes into the three odes by John Keats within their context, revealing the mechanism of metaphor production from the author’s perspective and the cognitive variation in the process of metaphor comprehension from the reader’s standpoint. Foregrounding and schema assist us in better understanding novel metaphors in the three odes, which demonstrates strong explanatory power of Cognitive Poetics for poetic metaphors. This article creates a new perspective for the study of literary texts. Combining cultural and social factors with Keats’s personal experiences affords readers deeper insight into the three odes, illustrating the significance of context in poem writing and understanding.

OnEmotionasaParadoxofHumanSubjectivity:TakingtheNarrativein“DoAndroidsDreamofElectricSheep?”/JIANGYuqinJIANGJinling

Abstract： Science and technology are constantly evolving as tools for repairing, substituting, and extending the human body. It will eventually be implanted in the person itself and break through the last barrier, namely, emotion. The new issue appears: Can robots have emotions? If robots have human emotions, where will human beings go? This paper outlines the definition of “emotion” in various disciplines, in order to reveal the relationship between the emotion and the interpretation of human subjectivity. But the relationship between emotion and human subjectivity has been deconstructed in the post-human era, and emotion cannot be regarded as the fundamental difference between human and robots. This paper takes “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” as an example, emphasizing that emotion is only a kind of Differentiation created by human society. The deconstruction of this differentiation in novel text shows the paradox of human emotion in the post-human era. If human beings needs to strengthen the superiority and subjectivity of human, they should establish a new emotional paradigm and cognitive form. This also puts forward a challenging sound for mankind in the future. This paper argues that the new paradigm of human-rob emotional interaction will become a possibility.

OnWilliamGibson’sNovelsfromthePerspectiveofCyberspacePoetics/MAIYongxiong

Abstract： Cyberspace poetics is a kind of poetics of “E” mainly characterized by electronic media. It is especially suitable for researching the genre of cyberpunk. It has both the characteristics of interactive realism and the multiple aesthetic connotation. The cyberspace described by William Gibson, a famous contemporary American science fiction writer in the 1980s, has increasingly become the mainstream space of social life today. Gibson’s famous cyberpunk novel “Matrix Trilogy” presents some important dimensions: first, it is the integration of Etopia, heterotopia, Utopia and dytopia, forming a special tension; second, highlighting the realistic critical spirit in the contrast between high-technology and capital power; the third is the core image of “matrix” and the perspective of marginal characters, which means a new stage in the history of space literature. Cyberpunk novels marked by Gibson are easy to be scorned by Canon literature, and their interdisciplinary nature is also easy to cause disputes. Therefore, they need to be discriminated, and more importantly, their poetic dimension, philosophical value and aesthetic implication should be explored.

Gibson,ChenQiufanandtheGlobalTravellingofCyberpunkNarrative:AComparativeStudyofNeuromancerandTheWasteTide/DAISiyuZOULi

Abstract： This article examines the narrative about posthuman, social power dynamics, ecological discourse and global order in William Gibson’sNeuromancerand Chen Qiufan’sTheWasteTide, focusing on the role of global economic system and sociocultural context in shaping the transnational travelling of the genre of cyberpunk. It argues that while the western cyberpunk narrative represented byNeuromancerpays great attention to the technical vision brought forth by artifical intelligence,TheWasteTideextends the scope of narrative to the real socio-cultural context and more broadly the global context, exploring themes such as the dystopia resulted by cyber technology as well as the changes in developing countries society and culture and the global order.

PatrickColmHogan’sAffectiveNarratology/QIAOXiufeng

Abstract： Although the study of emotion and story structure begins with Aristotle in the West, it is relatively neglected by modern narrative theory. Patrick Colm Hogan thus initiates a tentative study of “affective narratology”, exploring the fundamental and universal properties of narrative within the explanatory framework of contemporary affective science. This article attempts to analyze the contexts, contents and features of affective narratology as well as its theoretical potentialities.

Ananarratology:HillisMiller’sStanceofDeconstructiveNarrative/LANXiujuan

Abstract： This paper discusses J. Hillis Miller’s ananarratology and his stand of deconstructive narrative in the postmodern context. For postmodern narrative theories, deconstruction demonstrates itself as a strong force which has benefited the politicization and diversification of narratology. Meanwhile, the conflicts and integration between deconstruction and narratology are most vividly manifested in Miller’s studies. Miller criticizes the insurmountable formalized and stylized tendency of structuralist narratology, and claims that Genette’sNarrativeDiscoursewas only a machinelike system. In addition, Miller redefines “ambiguity” and its ubiquitous existence in all texts in his dialogue with narratologist Shlomith Rimmon-Kenan, representing the differences between structuralist narratology and deconstructive criticism on some key issues. Miller’s “Ananarratology” treats text and theories with a more open and broad vision and emphasizes the uniqueness and complexity of texts, which is powerful enough to push structuralist narratology to develop towards contextual narratology.

Keywords： J. Hillis Miller; ananarratology; deconstruction; postmodern

MichaelKearns’RhetoricalNarratologyandtheRhetoricalTurnofNarratology/LUOHuaiyu

Abstract： Michael Kearns’RhetoricalNarratologyis one of the major representative works of postclassical narratologies. Since its publication, critiques have centered on its overemphasis on situational context and illocutionary act and, hence, its radical departure from the methodology of classical narratology. Dan Shen, among others, has offered some important criticism and comments on Kearns’ theoretical model. However, as Kearns himself makes clear in the book, rhetorical narratology does not aspire to the status of “scientific theory”, but aims to provide a coherent synthesis of the rhetorical and structuralist approaches to narrative, grounded in speech act theory. It is argued that, while the theoretical model and ways of argumentation ofRhetoricalNarratologymight warrant debate, it is nevertheless a clear precursor and significant part of the rhetorical turn of narratology, and its theoretical pattern deserves further studies.

BodyPoliticsandTraumaasMetaphor:FemaleTraumaticBodyinSoFarfromGod/CHENHaihui

Abstract： Female Traumatic Body runs through the novelSoFarfromGodwritten by Chicana writer Ana Castillo. By exposing how power discourses such as patriarchy, eco-colonialism and instrumental rationalism control and imprison female bodies, the writer embeds profound metaphoric meaning in the mangled, toxic and alienated bodies of the female characters in the novel. Their experience with illnesses embodies the disciplined and oppressed identity of Mexican-American women in the context of racial, sexual and class discrimination. The writer’s foregrounding of the curing philosophy of curandera suggests possible means by which Mexican-American women can cast off the predicament of identity.

OntheEducationalInstitutionsforJapaneseMajorsoftheLateQingDynasty/WANGShuaidong

Abstract： After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, faced with domestic troubles and foreign invasion,China was in imminent danger of collapse.In order to maintain its rule,the Qing Dynasty started to learn from Japan. The cultivation of Japanese translators is considered to be the most important one to govern a country,bringing an unprecedented environment and a new chance to the establishment of Japanese Schools.The Japanese Schools were established in China by both Chinese and Japanese. As far as their founders are concerned, these educational institutions for cultivating Japanese majors generally fall into two categories: those independently founded by China and the others funded by Japan. In spite of their short duration, these schools have made indelible contributions to the promotion of new education in China, the formation of the education mechanism for Japanese-Chinese translators in the late Qing Dynasty, and the successful political career of many Japanese majors.
