  • Peirce's Semiotics
    Global Semiotics Bridging Different Civilizations THE 11TH WORLD CONGRESS OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR SEMIOTIC STUDIES Under the Auspices of THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR SEMIOTIC STUDIES THE CHINESE ASSOCIATION FOR LANGUAGE AND SEMIOTIC STUDIES THE CHINESE SEMIOTIC RESEARCH CENTER OF NANJING NORMAL UNIVERSITY THE INTERNATIONAL SEMIOTIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF NANJING NORMAL UNIVERSITY School of Foreign Languages & Cultures Nanjing Normal University, No. 122, Ninghai Road, Nanjing, China October 5-9, 2012 NANJING CHINA Plenary Speeches 大会发言 1 Signs and Phenomena. Phenomenological-Semiotic Considerations Bernhard Waldenfels Both, phenomenology and semiotics have to do with the basic question as to how our experience is functioning. But considering the fact that phenomenology tries to go back to the intuitively given things themselves, whereas semiotics stress the mediating role of signs, there remains a certain tension between both approaches. This tension leads to unbridgeable conflicts only if one side tries to dominate or to replace the other. In this case the extreme attempt to proceed ultimately without using signs clashes with the opposite presumption that basically everything is made of signs or words. However, in my view we should and can seek the so-called things themselves through the medium of signs, of words, and of pictures and so on. There is an intermediary sphere closely connected with our own body and with the relations between one’s own and the Other’s body. This basic assumption shall be tested by referring to a series of key issues like saying and showing, materiality of signs, sign and trace, sign and affect, use and creation of signs.

There are many cultural images in Chu Ci, especially Li Sao, and animal images constitute part of the cultural images in the classic. They convey both literal and implicit meanings. In other words, poet Qu Yuan uses them to symbolize good or bad things in the source text. The implied meaning of the animal images can only be grasped by putting them into the specific context. The translations in this study use various translating methods such as literal translation, substitution and interpretation to represent the symbolic meanings of the animal images, but sometimes it is seen that the translators fail to convey the original meaning correctly. It is assumed that only by achieving optimal relevance can target readers understand the original images easily. Keywords: Li Sao; Animal images; Translation methods; Relevance theory. CC BY: Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 1. Introduction Chu Ci (楚辞), or The Songs of the South by Qu Yuan (屈原) and other poets, occupies a very important place in Chinese literature. And Li Sao (离骚), or Encountering Sorrow by Qu Yuan, is the most important part of Chu Ci.

  • International Law Teaching in China: Engaging in a Pedagogical Reform Or Embracing Professionalism and Internationalization?
    Cambridge Journal of China Studies 11 International Law Teaching in China: Engaging in a Pedagogical Reform or Embracing Professionalism and Internationalization? Qingjiang KONG China University of Political Science and Law, China Email: [email protected] Abstract: As international law is becoming increasingly relevant to the rising China, serious problems have been found to cluster in the international law teaching in China. Since its introduction, the development of international law in China has been plagued by the love-and-hatred attitudes of the Chinese regimes in succession towards it. What Chinese law schools and beyond are lacking is a true professionalism that demands an estrangement from political reality and internationalization that calls for retrench of the pedagogical approaches. This article is intended to contribute to the understanding of the landscape of international law teaching in this rising country as it faces challenges. Key Words:China, International Law, International Law Teaching, Professionalism, Internationalization Professor of law, China University of Political Science and Law, and The Collaborative Innovation Centre for Territorial Sovereignty and Maritime Interests. Volume 12, No. 1 12 INTRODUCTION International law has shaped China’s perception of the world since its introduction into the Central Kingdom in the 1860s. Nowadays, international law is becoming increasingly relevant to the rising China. So is the teaching of international law. What Chinese law schools and beyond are lacking is among others, a precise overview of the development charts of the discipline of international law in China and the state of international law teaching in China. Problems about the teaching have clustered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
