Sino-Humanitas Distinguished Scholar Lecture Series – Prof. Hu Xiaoming (4/2014)

Title: Decoding Poetic Imagery in Chinese Art and Culture Speaker: Prof. Hu Xiaoming (Professor of Department of Chinese Language and Literature, East China Normal University) Date: 16 April 2015 (Thursday) Time: 1630-1800 Venue: WLB204, Lam Woo International Conference Centre, Shaw Campus Language: Mandarin Abstract: 本講座提出:古典中國的傳統中,有一深具現代生命力的意象文化,即以「意象」的方式,穿行游走於語言與圖像、詩與畫、哲學與政治與宗教、日常生活與人文精神求索、以及現代與古代之間的藝術文化。我稱之為文化意象的詩學。文化意象的詩學不是一般的意象學,而是深具中國詩性意味、一代代對傳統重新闡釋的文化創意,是貯存民族文化記憶詩學。它突破了時間的限制,超出了文學的範圍,成為民族心靈中的「集體記憶」(Collective Memory),成為民族文化延續的一個重要方式。詩,成為解碼、打開其中意義的鑰匙。這是中國文學研究的新願景與新使命。
