The fundamental premise of such research is to regard Horse as a holistic novel, but in fact, it is a combination of two separate works, House and Horse. With such a background in mind, the study of Horse allows us to have a clear grasp of the development of the work. This paper focuses on the analysis of Home, part of Horse, to explore the root causes of the disharmonious relationship between “me” and “my wife”.","PeriodicalId":166253,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"352 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124458672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A Study of Bloom Narrative in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Fiction","authors":"Hongqing Li","doi":"10.53789/j.1653-0465.2023.0301.005.p","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53789/j.1653-0465.2023.0301.005.p","url":null,"abstract":"Elizabeth Gaskell was an influential female writer in the 19th-century English literary arena. The courtship and marriage narrative almost ran through all her fiction. This paper argues that Linnaeus’ botanical system provided discourse support for her courtship and marriage narrative. From the late 18th century to the 19th century, as Linnaean classification popularized, the term “flower”(plants’sexual organ) became more commonly used as “bloom,” referring to “potential sex.” Linnaeus termed the sexual reproduction of a flower marriage, linking “sex” to marriage and rendering the natural (illegitimate) meaning of sex socialized (legitimate). In this cultural context, Gaskell introduced “bloom narrative” into her works, using “bloom” and its cognate words “garden, landscape, etc.” to represent the sexual attraction of blooming girls and reproduce their marriage and courtship, and using botanical language as a metaphor for the process of female socialization to explore the possible social consequences. It is worth noting that Linnaeus divided plants into public marriage and clandestine marriage according to whether flowers could be seen by the naked eye. Gaskell not only reproduced the sexual attraction in public marriages as traditional writers as Austen did but also discussed the sexual attraction in clandestine marriages. In North and South, Linnaeus’s “public marriage” category was represented. Gaskell linked sexual attraction to marriage and enabled the heroine to successfully exercise her feminine influence, and thus facilitate labor-capital reconciliation, demonstrating her strong desire to bridge the gap between the public and private spheres. In Ruth, by separating sexual attraction (bloom) from marriage and treating the sexual behavior of the hero and heroine as Linnaeus’s “clandestine marriage,) Gaskell presented both the heroine’s sexual charm and her innocence, thus effectively challenging the traditional narrative of depraved women. The bloom narrative meets Gaskell’s multiple requirements of conforming to secular moral values, achieving realistic effects as well as participating in the discussion of gender topics, which reveals her diverse and cross-boundary artistic creation concept.","PeriodicalId":166253,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131993276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the positive case of Japan’s Taika Era Reforms, the international structure is not a balance of power system, so Japan’s “state learning” behavior is not dominated by the consequence logic and adaptive logic of the balance of power system. Japan’s Taika Era Reforms are more due to the “elite struggle” Reformists, desire to obtain political power and “state learning” within the country, which enables Japan to feedback to the international structure through “state learning”. This case shows that the international structural pressure of the balance of power cannot effectively explain all the situations of the transformation of state formation. In the negative case of China’s Westernization Movement in the Qing Dynasty, although the pressure of the international structure forced the emergence of “state learning”, the “elite struggle” reformers in the country could not have a stable power base and their willingness to “state learning” was not strong, which led to the change of the state formation that could not be positively fed back to the international structure. The hypothesis of “cognitive structure institutional change interaction” in this paper can effectively explain that “state learning” is a situation in which China and Japan have different behaviors in the face of different international structural pressures and highlight the importance of “state learning” will and the struggle between elites within the country.","PeriodicalId":166253,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125759289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transformation of the Al-Aqsa Mosque from a religious to a political function is not only an expression of its transformation from a religious building to a political symbol, but also a manifestation of the tension between religious culture and the presence of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the city of Jerusalem as an important reason for its transformation into a political symbol.","PeriodicalId":166253,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117205109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
