ISBN: 978-1-7337122-1-7 Printed in the United States of America 2 Preface The 2019 Youth Academic Forum, themed “Reason-Romance-Resource”, was successfully held by the School of International Studies, Zhejiang University on May 24, 2019 in Hangzhou, China. More than 100 young scholars attended this event which was supported by the Fundamental Research Funds for Key Universities. The Forum aims to provide a prominent platform for young faculty and doctoral students in the School of International Studies, Zhejiang University, and thus have in-depth exchanges on both theoretical and practical issues concerning their research interests. These peer-reviewed papers delivered to the Forum have been accepted for this proceeding, covering several traditional and leading topics in linguistics, literature, translation and cultural studies, with the interactions of cross-cultural communication, sociology, history, politics, philosophy and ethics. The papers in linguistics cover several relevant disciplines, such as semantics, syntax, language assessment, language acquisition, discourse studies, forensic linguistics, translation studies and language planning. The prominent feature highlighted in these papers is their interdisciplinary interactions among different disciplines, for example, taken as an approach, corpus linguistics has been adopted in these papers to analyze linguistic phenomena, comparable texts, translation studies and even language assessment. In the meanwhile, the literary studies review several representative literary works from not only England and America, but also Japan, Germany, Spain and Australia. By comparing different understandings of humanistic and social concerns, these studies explore several popular topics, including image construction, identity construction and reconstruction, awareness, writing style and dialogue relationship, and thus reveal a broad and comprehensive insight of literary works within their particular historical-cultural background. From the present proceedings, we notice the emergence in terms of research interests and tools among linguistics, literature, translation and cultural studies, which may well reflect the wholesome collaboration between scholars among different disciplines in the School of International Studies, and the institutions emphasizing the interdisciplinary, intercultural and international cooperation.

  • Beyond Good and Evil—1
    Nietzsche & Asian Philosophy Beyond Good and Evil—1 Beyond good and Evil Preface supposing truth is a woman philosophers like love-sick suitors who don’t understand the woman-truth central problem of philosophy is Plato’s error: denying perspective, the basic condition of all life On the Prejudices of Philosophers 1) questioning the will to truth who is it that really wants truth? What in us wants truth? Why not untruth? 2) origin of the will to truth out of the will to untruth, deception can anything arise out of its opposite? A dangerous questioning? Nietzsche sees new philosophers coming up who have the strength for the dangerous “maybe.” Note in general Nietzsche’s preference for the conditional tense, his penchant for beginning his questioning with “perhaps” or “suppose” or “maybe.” In many of the passages throughout this book Nietzsche takes up a perspective which perhaps none had dared take up before, a perspective to question what had seemed previously to be unquestionable. He seems to constantly be tempting the reader with a dangerous thought experiment. This begins with the questioning of the will to truth and the supposition that, perhaps, the will to truth may have arisen out of its opposite, the will to untruth, ignorance, deception. 3) the supposition that the greater part of conscious thinking must be included among instinctive activities Nietzsche emphasizes that consciousness is a surface phenomenon conscious thinking is directed by what goes on beneath the surface contrary to Plato’s notion of pure reason, the conscious

The dissertation will look at the idea in several ways to elucidate the depth and complexity of the idea. First, it will be looked at through its evolution, as it began as an idea early in Nietzsche’s career and reached its full complexity at the end of his career with the planned publication of his Revaluation of All Values, just before the onset of his madness. Several questions will be explored: What is the nature of the revaluator who is supposed to be instrumental in the process of revaluation? What will the values after the revaluation be like (a rebirth of ancient values or creation of entirely new values)? What will be the scope of the revaluation? And what is the relation of other major ideas of Nietzsche’s (will to power, eternal return, overman, and amor fati) to the revaluation? Different answers to these questions will be explored.

  • A Media Event Event
    THE DEATH OF MARX: A MEDIA EVENT EVENT The 'new philosophers '. have enjoyed a recent intense vogue in France, 1 and have even provoked interest in the English speaking press - I have read articles on them in The Sunday Times, The Observer,observer, Encounter and Time magazine. on examination, they appear to be saying very little, so it is interesting to ask what their value is for the foreign press. It will be seen that I too treat them in a 'journalistic' rather than a serious academic fashion, and that this is, in fact, unavoidable. Nevertheless, whilst of little intrinsic interest, the new philosophers are illustrative ofof·two two problems, both of which are of some import. The first is that in French political and culturalculturaJ thought all problems and debates exist within a framework marked by two reference points - the' legislative elections in March 1978, and May 1968. These points are !'\ptApt symmetrical; however, they do mark the beginning and the end of the present •'epoch'.epoch'. The new philosophers are only possible v,i thin this framewor:j.{. The second is of a different order, and concerns the relations of intEll­ini;Ell­ lectuals to journalism, and the changes that these relations have bee~ undergoing. I shall return to these problems at the end, but first $hf.!,ll give an outline description of the phenomenon. * * * * The new philosophy oonsists primarily of publici,ty. The publicitypUblicity hasb,as peen ferocious - in magazines, journals, newspapers, pUblicpublic dis6ussions,disoussions, as ",ell¥ell as on radio and television.

  • 2016 China Overview – TV
    TV © 2016 Beyond Summits 2 Summary： • TV media market has tended to be saturated with almost 99% coverage rate in 10 years. However, Chinese are losing their interests in watching TV. The average age of real TV audience is getting older. The biggest proportion of TV audience is constituted by audience aged over 45 years old. The older TV audience are more likely to be heavy TV users. • In terms of TV programs, Chinese TV content is mainly produced by CCTV and provincial satellite TVs. However, TV production and broadcasting will further separate in the future, and high-quality content will be incline to broadcast through Internet platforms. Eventually, the number of TV audience will decrease. More people will choose to watch videos online instead of on TV. • Since 2014, the advertising on TV has seen a dropping trend. In the first half of 2015, TV ads even showed a negative increase. CCTV and provincial satellite TVs were still two major platforms for business to place ads into. © 2016 Beyond Summits 3 Summary： • In 2015，TV programs were mainly broadcasting about TV series, news and various shows，accounting for 57.1% of all programs. The top five provincial TV channels swept most high-rating programs. • The watching length of TV variety shows had a significant increase in 2015. Hunan Sat-TV variety shows' average rating was the highest in 2015. With the rapid development of variety shows and IP TV dramas, a rising trend of title sponsorship and ads were seen in 2015. • What users watch on TV is quite similar with what they watch online.

They are now translated T into English, with the first and namesake essay and the third essay on Okinawa published in The PoliticS of Imagining ASia (2011a), and the second essay on what Wang Hui terms tRanS-SyStemic society published in Boundary (2011b). This review concerns the original Chinese version. The Tibet essay was first published in 2008 in the magazine Tianya 天涯, as a topical essay in response to the 2008 events that can be arguably considered a watershed in the history of contemporary China. It is a telling fact that before 2008, no Chinese intellectual of some weight had really written about Tibet, whether or not from a Chinese nationalist perspective. As Wang Hui himself criticizes, modern China shows an “ignorance and ignoring” towards Tibet, while “scholars of a minority background who know a variety of minority languages” are “confined in regional and ethnic studies” (p. 138). The Chinese educated readership turned its attention to Tibet only because of the demonstrations and riots in which “business held by Han Chinese and Muslims are attacked,” and especially because of the subsequent Western reactions, in which something more fundamental was attacked. The Reform period of contemporary Chinese history, or in its original Chinese, Reform (gaige 改革) and Opening-up (kaifqng 开放), is powered by a narrative that posits a fundamental compatibility between the Chinese nation, in its historically contingent but transcendentally reified borders and in its specific forms shaped by the Communist history, and the liberal and neo-liberal global order led by the Western world.
