    High Tension: Reconceptualizing interiority in the works of Qiu Miaojin and Wu Ming-yi by Thomas M. Mamos A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Alberta © Thomas M. Mamos, 2020 ii Abstract: This project examines the concept of “interiority”, the thoughts and feelings of other individuals, as a kind of literary device in the works of Qiu Miaojin and Wu Ming-yi. Rather than reinforce binaristic thinking, this considers interiority as a tension between public and private, between self and other, it allows for a line of analysis that can interact with multiple subfields of literary studies and genres. The novels examined in this project act as cases for examining this tension: Wu Ming-Yi’s The Man with the Compound Eyes forms an extreme “public” or external example, as the novel intersects with ecocriticism and environmental studies; Qiu Miaojin’s Notes of a Crodile and Last Words From Montmartre acts as the “private” or internal counterballast, as it intersects with gender and sexuality studies. This project attempts to read across these sub-fields and to read across genres present in the novels, in order to find points of resonance and commonality in depictions of interiority despite many differences. While examing each of these cases results in their own unique conclusions, more generally they point to possible strategies and modes of being that revise binaristic thinking: an avowal of linear time, the importance of labour in knowledge-formation, and of connection and relationships dispersed amongst many individuals and agents.

  • Nostalgia in Contemporary Chinese Cinema (1993-2008): a Reflection of China’S Socio-Cultural Postmodernity
    Nostalgia in Contemporary Chinese Cinema (1993-2008): A Reflection of China’s Socio-Cultural Postmodernity Shen Jiang A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Studies The University of Canterbury 2010 Abstract Since Deng Xiaoping‘s ―South Tour Speech‖ which he delivered during his inspection of special economic region in southern China in 1992, China‘s reforms and opening-up have entered a period of stable and rapid development. These undoubtedly are driving a comprehensive range of areas of social transition in Chinese society, including state affairs, social activities, mass culture, and globalization. All these factors may have a significant impact on the situation of Chinese film, but in the meantime, local cinema will inevitably present contemporary China and its social culture in a certain way. This thesis chooses a period of time from 1993 to 2008 and examines ―nostalgia‖, a unique area of contemporary Chinese cinema, as its basis for discussion. In the light of Western and postmodern cultural theories, this study aims to explore the current state of nostalgia film and its postmodern elements in China and to extend the discussion to social areas and cultural studies. The conclusion reached by the discussion includes two major aspects. First, through historical reconstruction and superficial pastiche, China‘s past (or its nostalgia) has inevitably presented certain distortions when facing the global mass cult and Chinese communist leitmotiv ideology. Second, contemporary China has reached the stage of a visually featured, postmodern consumer society. I Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisors, Dr.

  • Primo Capitolo Tratta Dell'origine Dell'opera
    前言 阿斯特丽德·林格伦 阿斯特丽德·林格伦 (Astrid Lindgren, 1907-2002) 是闻名世界的瑞 典作家。她 1907 年 11 月 14 日出生在瑞典斯摩兰德省一个农民之家。她 度过了平静的童年时代,常常和哥哥、两个妹妹一起在乡间的大自然中 玩耍。1923 年她高中毕业,因为怀孕来到斯德哥尔摩。在这座都市她做 过秘书工作。“长袜子皮皮”的名字是林格伦的女儿卡琳发明的。1944 年冬,阿斯特丽德·林格伦因散步时滑掉伤了踝骨,养伤时写了皮皮的 故事。«长袜子皮皮»于 1945 年出版,林格伦蜚声全国,继而蜚声欧洲以 至全世界。她写了很多儿童读物,其中有童话、小说和绘本。例如«长袜 子皮皮»三部曲、«吵闹村的孩子» 三部曲、«小飞人卡尔松»三部曲、«疯 丫头玛迪根»小说(上下部),还有«淘气包埃米尔»三部曲、«大侦探小 卡莱»三部曲、«米欧,我的米欧»、«狮心兄弟»等等。她的作品被翻译成 九十一种语言,获得很多文学奖。阿斯特丽德·林格伦 2002 年 1 月 28 日死在了她斯德哥尔摩的家中。 长袜子皮皮 长袜子皮皮名字很奇怪,人物也怪。她九岁, 满脸覆盖着雀斑,头发的 颜色像胡萝卜一样,两条编结得硬邦邦的辫子直挺挺地竖着。她的连衣 裙也是不落俗套,腿上的长袜子一只是黑色的,另一只是褐色的,她的 1 双鞋的尺码是她脚的两倍。她的母亲是天使,父亲在太平洋某岛上成了 黑人国王。没有父母倒也自在,因为在她玩得开心的时候没人会硬叫她 上床睡觉;在她想吃点糖果的时候没人会硬叫她吃鱼肝油。孤零零的长 袜子皮皮倒不用为自己的衣食住行操心,她拥有很多金币,足以对付日 常开销。她还有两个伙伴——一只叫尼尔松先生的猴子和一匹叫小老头 的马。当然,她也跟两位邻居小朋友杜米、阿尼卡一起玩耍、冒险、去 远行。皮皮的一个特点是她总是胡说、说很多瞎话,不过她非常好心。 她也非常有力,如果她想,她会把一匹马抬起来。 儿童文学 儿童文学是个比较年轻的文学门类,在欧洲,17 世纪末、18 世纪初是其 萌发期。18 世纪中叶,儿童文学有了进一步发展,最有代表性的作品是 让·雅克·卢梭的儿童教育小说«爱弥尔»。19 世纪,有德国格林兄弟的 童话,丹麦的安徒生童话问世。20 世纪在英国、苏联、美国、法国、意 大利、瑞典等国家也有大量优秀作品涌现出来。在中国 20 世纪之前, 儿 童及儿童教育问题不受重视,因此儿童文学出现比较迟。儿童文学成为 一个独立的文学门类出现在 20 世纪初,是五四新文化运动之后借助鲁迅 的翻译本出现的。中国现代儿童文学的奠基人是叶圣陶,他创作 、发表 于 20 年代初的童话«稻草人»很有影响; 而后,稍晚几年问世的是冰心的 书信体儿童散文«寄小读者»。抗日战争之前,中国儿童文学的代表作家 是黎锦辉、郭沫若、彭湃、张天翼(他的长篇童话«大林和小林»是中国儿 童文学的杰作),老舍、陈伯吹(«阿丽思小姐»)、巴金等。在抗日战争和 国共内战期间, 革命儿童文学发展了。1949 年在中国有三种儿童文学流 派——五四的、革命的、传统的。这些流派在中华人民共和国建立后的 儿童文学中形成了一种趋势。 2 INTRODUZIONE Astrid Lindgren è senza dubbio la scrittrice svedese più famosa a livello mondiale. Traduzioni dei suoi libri si trovano oggi in 91 lingue, dato che fa di lei l'autrice svedese più tradotta di tutti i tempi, più tradotta perfino di August Strindberg e Selma Lagerlöf. Il suo personaggio più famoso è sicuramente Pippi Calzelunghe, i cui libri sono stati tradotti in 64 lingue diverse.

THE PHENOMENON OF THE "CHINESE WOMAN OF THE DESERT" Sandi P. Ward, M.A. University of Pittsburgh, 2017 San Mao 三毛 (1943-1991) was one of the most popular writers of the Chinese-speaking world in the 1970s and 1980s. Her most popular works, Stories of the Sahara and Weeping Camels, describe her life in Spanish Sahara (now Western Sahara) and the Canary Islands with her Spanish husband in the early 1970s. These tales portray San Mao as an independent, resourceful wanderer, able to make a home for herself wherever she goes, and keen to interact with overlooked members of society. San Mao's self-depiction as a representative of Chinese culture spreading goodwill throughout the world found a receptive audience in 1970s Taiwan. Her fame spread to mainland China in the 1980s, when economic liberalization resulted in an expansion in publishing, giving mainland readers access to types of literature that had not been widely available for decades.
