Title: Song Dynasty Poet Xin Qiji’s Hero Complex and Heroic Ci Poetry Speaker: Prof. Wang Zhaopeng (Distinguished Professor, Wuhan University) Date: 15 April 2016 (Friday) Time: 1030-1200 Venue: SWT 7/F, Shaw Tower, Shaw Campus, HKBU Language: Putonghua Abstract: 宋代詞人中，提到英雄，人們首先想到的是岳飛和文天祥。而辛棄疾作為英雄，卻沒有得到廣泛的認可。演講人將從英雄自許、英雄長相、英雄壯舉、英雄謀略、英雄理想等方面為你呈現辛棄疾的英雄特質與英雄行為。辛棄疾曾單騎追殺叛徒，又曾率五十騎兵到五萬之眾的金兵軍營中生擒叛將張安國，然後飛馳數千里將張安國送到臨安問斬，這傳奇式的壯舉背後隱含著什麼樣的心理動機與戰略考量，主講人將為你作深度分析。 Organisers: Mr. Simon Suen and Mrs. Mary Suen Sino-Humanitas Institute, Institute […]

Title: The Real McCoy, the Forgeries, and Chinese Literature during the Ming-Qing Transitional Period Speaker: Prof. Li Wai-yee (Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University) Date: 15 January 2016 (Friday) Time: 1630-1800 Venue: WLB109, Lam Woo International Conference Centre, Shaw Campus, HKBU Language: Putonghua Abstract: 本次演講擬探討明清之際戲曲當中的鑑真、辨偽論述。首先，明清戲曲中有不少鑑別真品、贋品的故事，在品物的同時也是對人物能力高下的品評，當中藝術真偽的鑑別沒有絕對性，而是因應情誼及利益浮動，與道德立場存在矛盾，鑑別者因此操持文化權力及經濟效益，而作偽者則是終身依託他人。李玉《一捧雪》以真假玉杯及真假人頭呈現了價值升降及權力、命運的不穩定性，「假杯換真官」及「因杯殺人」的荒謬敗德交易以「僕代主死」的道德交易加以糾正，重建道德秩序。李漁《意中緣》中，偽作真情、贋品勝真對藝術的真偽鑑別提出質疑，而才子佳人結合中的情感缺席，也使故事更像是經濟效益及名妓文化的交易。 About the speaker: 李惠儀教授現職美國哈佛大學東亞語言與文明系中國文學教授，為臺灣中央研究院人文及社會科學組院士，專長中國文學。李教授對晚明至清代的詩詞文學及當中的女性主義、國族思想素有研究，並且著書繁多，近作包括：Women and […]
Title: Late Song Poets of the School of Jianghu as a Symbol of Early Modern Chinese Literature Speaker: Prof. UCHIYAMA Seiya, Waseda University Date: 4 December 2015 (Friday) Time: 1630-1800 Venue: OEM602, Oen Hall Building, Ho Sin Hang Campus, Hong Kong Baptist University Language: Putonghua Abstract: 內藤湖南（1866-1934）主張在「中世middle ages」和「近代modern」之間加入一個「近世early modern period」，大約指宋至清末（960-1911），以唐、宋為劃界，因而被稱為「唐宋變革論」，並以「詞」為例說明文學在宋代實現了「近世化」。但是，宋代的主流韻文不是「詞」而是「詩」，無論是作者還是作品數目，《全宋詩》都多於《全宋詞》數倍。而且宋詞大多是文言文體，白話文體非常少。無論是詩或詞，宋代與到唐代為止的「中世」並沒有變化，與延續到後漢的「古代」也可以連在一起。作為文學史研究者，更多時候將注意力集中於個別現象或特定個人，而不去執著於展現宏觀巨大的歷史，也會不自覺地在兩種文學史觀（「進步史觀」和「下降史觀」）裏選擇一種作為自己的立場。在此，本論將探討以宋代文學為「近世文學」是否合適，在指出爭論點的同時就課題闡述自己的觀點，探討宋代文學的相關現象，尤其關注宋末江湖詩人群體以及推動他們流行之書商陳起。 About […]
