Sino-Humanitas Distinguished Scholar Lecture Series – Prof. Shang Wei (2/2015)

Title: Transformation and Rebirth of Traditional Chinese Zhanghui-style Novels: From Water Margin to Jin Ping Mei Speaker: Prof. Shang Wei (Du Family Professor of Chinese Culture, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Columbia University) Date: 2 February 2015 (Monday) Time: 10:00-11:30 Abstract: 作為最早的一部「世情小說」,《金瓶梅詞話》以《水滸傳》為依託,不僅在前十回中重演和改寫了《水滸傳》中有關武松的情節,而且在此後的章回中也不時展示與《水滸傳》之間複雜的互文關係。這次講演從《金瓶梅詞話》的開頭說起,見證其從江湖歷險的英雄傳奇中蛻變衍化出來的過程,並由此闡明《金瓶梅詞話》在小說史上的無可取代的特殊意義 。
