The aS cred and the Cannibalistic: Zhou Zuoren’s Critique of Violence in Modern China Abstract This article explores the ways in which Zhou Zuoren critiqued violence in modern China as a belief-‐‑driven phenomenon. Differing from Lu Xun and other mainstream intellectuals, Zhou consistently denied the legitimacy of violence as a force for modernizing China. Relying on extensive readings in anthropology, intellectual history, and religious studies, he investigated the fundamental “nexus” between violence and the religious, political, and ideological beliefs. In the Enlightenment’s effort to achieve modernity, cannibalistic Confucianism was to be cleansed from the corpus of Chinese culture as the “barbaric” cultural Other, but Zhou was convinced that such barbaric cannibalism was inherited by the Enlightenment thinkers, and thus made the Enlightenment impossible.

  • Ulysses: the Novel, the Author and the Translators
    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 21-27, January 2011 © 2011 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland. doi:10.4304/tpls.1.1.21-27 Ulysses: The Novel, the Author and the Translators Qing Wang Shandong Jiaotong University, Jinan, China Email: [email protected] Abstract—A novel of kaleidoscopic styles, Ulysses best displays James Joyce’s creativity as a renowned modernist novelist. Joyce maneuvers freely the English language to express a deep hatred for religious hypocrisy and colonizing oppressions as well as a well-masked patriotism for his motherland. In this aspect Joyce shares some similarity with his Chinese translator Xiao Qian, also a prolific writer. Index Terms—style, translation, Ulysses, James Joyce, Xiao Qian I. INTRODUCTION James Joyce (1882-1941) is regarded as one of the most innovative novelists of the 20th century. For people who are interested in modernist novels, Ulysses is an enormous aesthetic achievement. Attridge (1990, p.1) asserts that the impact of Joyce‟s literary revolution was such that “far more people read Joyce than are aware of it”, and that few later novelists “have escaped its aftershock, even when they attempt to avoid Joycean paradigms and procedures.” Gillespie and Gillespie (2000, p.1) also agree that Ulysses is “a work of art rivaled by few authors in this or any century.” Ezra Pound was one of the first to recognize the gift in Joyce. He was convinced of the greatness of Ulysses no sooner than having just read the manuscript for the first part of the novel in 1917.

  • How the War on Crime Helped Make the War on Terror Possible James Forman, Jr.*
    EXPORTING HARSHNESS: HOW THE WAR ON CRIME HELPED MAKE THE WAR ON TERROR POSSIBLE JAMES FORMAN, JR.* I. INTRODUCTION During the Bush administration, opponents of the prosecution of the war on terror routinely denounced it as a betrayal of American values. The narrative went like this: the United States has a long-standing commitment to human rights and due process, reflected in its domestic criminal justice system's expansive protections, but after September 11, 2001, President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, and their allies dishonored this tradition. Consider the argument of Neal Katyal, the lead civilian lawyer for Salim Hamdan, Osama bin Laden's driver. Katyal describes meeting his client for the first time, when Hamdan asked him, "Why are you doing this?" Katyal responded: The reason that I am here is that my parents came to America with eight dollars in their pocket.... They came to America for a simple reason: they could land on its shores and they'd be treated fairly and their children would be treated fairly. And when the president issued this military order, which said, "If you're one of them, if you're a green card holder"-as my parents were-"or if you're a foreigner ... you get the beat-up Chevy version of Justice. You get sent to Guantanamo. But if you're an American citizen, accused of the most heinous crime imaginable, the detonation of a weapon of mass destruction, you get the Gold Standard. You get the American Civilian Trial." I told him that's why I was so offended.

  • Corpora-Based Investigations Into the Differences in Translation Styles Between Translators and Self-Translators Yi-Chiao Chen
    Corpora-based Investigations into the Differences in Translation Styles between Translators and Self-translators Yi-Chiao Chen Abstract This article aims to investigate the differences in translation styles between translators and self-translators. To attain this objective, two corpora are involved: a corpus of translations and a corpus of self-translations. The texts compiled in both corpora are literary with Chinese as the source and English the target. Meanwhile, Chinese empty words are adopted as the research object when conducting the investigations. The results reveal that the translation procedure that translators adopt most is Match, whereas self- translators employ the procedure of Omission much more frequently, which could be because self-translators own the authority and the authorial status. In addition, it is observed that self-translators hold dissimilar attitudes towards translation because Xiao Qian alters and omits much more source words and sentences than Eileen Chang does. Keywords: self-translators, corpus, translation procedures, authority, authorial status Introduction As a practice of rendering one language to another, translation has been one of the important services since the ancient times. Although the demand of translation is mainly satisfied by professional translators, there are a small number of cases accomplished by authors themselves, i.e. self-translators. Grutman (2011: 257) describes self-translation as “the act of translating one’s own writings into another language and the result of such an undertaking”, while Hokenson and Munson (2007: 2) remark that self-translation refers to “the specific ways in which bilinguals rewrite a text in the second language and adapt it to a different sign system laden with its own literary and philosophical traditions”.

  • Early Cambrian Hyoliths from the North China Platform and Their
    1 Early Cambrian Hyoliths from the North China Platform and their 2 biostratigraphic and palaeogeographic significance 3 4 BING PAN, CHRISTIAN B. SKOVSTED, HAIJING SUN, GUOXIANG LI 5 6 An assemblage of hyoliths, consisting of ten genera and fourteen species, is reported from the lower Cambrian 7 Xinji Formation (Shangwan and Sanjianfang sections) and Houjiashan Formation (Xiaomeiyao section) along the 8 southern margin of the North China Platform. Most species are represented by both conchs and opercula. The 9 orthothecids identified include Conotheca australiensis, Cupitheca holocyclata, Cupitheca costellata, 10 Neogloborilus applanatus, N. spinatus, Tegminites hymenodes, Triplicatella disdoma, Triplicatella xinjia sp. nov. 11 and Paratriplicatella shangwanensis gen. et sp. nov. The hyolithids contain Protomicrocornus triplicensis gen. et 12 sp. nov., Microcornus eximius, M. petilus, Parkula bounites and Parakorilithes mammillatus. However, some taxa 13 possess characteristics of both Hyolithida and Orthothecida, such as C. australiensis, Neogloborilus and 14 Protomicrocornus triplicensis. Protomicrocornus may belong to a sister group of other hyolithids. Teeth of Parkula 15 bounites and clavicles of Parakorilithes mammillatus are discovered for the first time in specimens from North 16 China and South Australia. Conotheca rotunda Qian, Yi & Xiao, 2000 and Conotheca cf. australiensis of Qian et 17 al. (2001) are revised as C. australiensis. Meanwhile, C. australiensis of Wrona 2003 is revised as N. applanatus. 18 Aimitidae of Qian & Zhang 1983, operculum type VI of Qian 1989 and operculum A of Zhang et al. 2017 are 19 revised as N. spinatus. Hyptiotheca Bengtson in Bengtson et al., 1990 is recognized as a junior synonym of 20 Parakorilithes He & Pei, 1984 with Hyptiotheca karraculum Bengtson in Bengtson et al., 1990 and Parakorilithes 21 teretiusculus Qian, 1989 being junior synonyms of Parakorilithes mammillatus He & Pei in He et al., 1984.

  • Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook
    U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook Revised 2004 EDITORIAL NOTE: The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program staff of the FBI worked for over three years on the revision of the UCR handbook. Individuals from the various units that make up the national UCR Program read, reviewed, and made suggestions during this long endeavor. Our goal was to make the handbook user friendly as well as educationally sound. From a pedagogical standpoint, we tried to present one concept at a time and not overwhelm the user with too much information at once. Consequently, classifying and scoring are presented in two separate chapters. The user can learn first how to classify the Part I offenses and then how to score them. For easy reference, we consolidated explanations of important UCR concepts, such as jurisdiction, hierarchy, and separation of time and place, in one chapter. We retained many of the examples with which users are already familiar, and we also updated many of the examples so they better reflect the American society of the twenty-first century. Further, where possible, we tried to align summary and National Incident- Based Reporting System (NIBRS) ideas and definitions to help emphasize that summary and NIBRS are part of the same UCR Program. Listening to suggestions from users of this manual, we added an Index as a quick-reference aid and a Glossary; however, we were cautious to retain standard UCR definitions. The national UCR Program thanks the many substance review- ers from various state UCR Programs for their time and for their constructive comments.
