Through the use of sharp, fresh images, poetic language and atmosphere, they create a literary world full of poetic charm. Both Mansfield and Zhang employ the symbolist technique of imagery, and have the remarkable capacity to describe the natural images, such as the sea of Mansfield and the moon of Zhang, in ways that are simultaneously lyrical and symbolic. The paper argues that their language had the elegance and conciseness of poetry, and fully shows their capacity for poetic description, though in different ways. They minimize the importance of plot and internalize the conflict, noteworthy for detailed description and atmosphere of the story. If we use different colors to represent the impressions of their works, Mansfield’s is melancholy gaseous blue while Zhang’s is desolate steel gray. By exploring the similarity and difference between the two writers concerning the three aspects of their artistic features, this paper points out that Zhang and Mansfield have different cultural backgrounds but similar traumatic experiences and these life experiences become important content and motivation for their literary creation.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90377663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An influential 11th-century Persian scholar, Al-Ghazālī remains one of the most widely read Muslim scholars who wrote freely on topics ranging from jurisprudence, logic and ethics to theology and spirituality. A lesser-explored area of his oeuvre is his contribution to psychology, manifested expressively in his monumental Iḥyāʾ ʿulūm Al-Dīn (The Revival of the Religious Sciences). The early 20th-century Austrian scholar Sigmund Freud, on the other hand, is revered as the founder of psychoanalysis – the theory and practice associated with the study of mental processes. The methodology adapted for this study is the Variation theory of comparative literature developed by Shunqing Cao. This is because Variation is especially suitable for conducting such cross-civilization comparative studies. Through this critical endeavor, the paper aims to investigate the possibility of cross-cultural influence and foreground the potential of a rarely applied non-Western theoretical framework.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"49 5 1","pages":"64 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78954750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They provide text with sensible guidance, supported by serious scholarship. More importantly, they embrace controversial ideas and polemical attitudes. Such notes with both sense and sensibility facilitate the expression of personal ideas more efficiently than the text; they may even sustain the development of a literary work, a theoretical topic, or even a field of study by inheriting and provoking lively and consistent scholarly discussion. Such a practice, interestingly, has long appeared in both Chinese and English literary writings. By reviewing discussions about these paradoxical notes in both Chinese and English literary criticism and by examining the notes in The Waste Land and the Book of Poetry respectively, the article proposes that it is a shared practice in both English and Chinese writings to provide notes with both sense and sensibility, and such a practice not only has helped sustain lively and consistent studies of the two specific literary works in their respective writing traditions but also proves that notes, instead of being secondary and supplementary, reveal a new discourse that awaits in uncovering further profound findings.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"36 1","pages":"25 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78578528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He formed The Doors, a darkly creative, informed, and bizarre music group, with some Los Angeles youths. Jim Morrison, the lead singer of The Doors, has built a literary treasure chest through his lyrics, which combine wild lyricism with a mesmerizing rock rhythm. Morrison always believed that he was a poet, but most pundits and critics never recognized or considered him as one. The current little research available on Morrison never attempts to find out who he really was or what he tried to accomplish with his poetry. The researchers intend to solidify Morrison’s position as a serious literary poetic genius in the American tradition which never took him seriously as a poet. A serious investigation has been undertaken on his poetry and lyrics from an analytical and critical point of view. Critics have continually distorted his work with drug culture, blasphemy, and pessimism. Both fans and critics of Morrison would be able to discover the poetic tradition and his legacy that he left behind after going through this critical piece. Descriptive research methods such as case studies, naturalistic observation, and surveys on Morrison’s literary expedition has been employed as effective tools in solving the research problem. In short, a serious effort has been made in this analytical essay to unveil the deconstructive shadow of criticism and showcase Morrison as a poet that changed America’s literary landscape in the 1960s creating a new poetic renaissance/genre.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"11 1","pages":"83 - 104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72694383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shonku makes multiple transatlantic journeys, as seen in those stories, for representing Indian research in the international scientific community. His groundbreaking innovations, such as the miracurall pill, the annihilin pistol, and the omniscope, evoke admiration and envy among European scientists, and his scientific undertakings juxtapose Western laboratory-based sciences with a variety of indigenous and local epistemologies. By investigating some of the stories of Professor Shonku, this paper strives to depict how these stories subvert the western genre of science fiction by legitimizing “native knowledge,” possessed by Professor Shonku as well as other characters as scientific and rational. Within the context of postcolonial literature, this paper also aims to locate Ray’s Professor Shonku stories in the tradition of Bangla “kalyavigyan.” Furthermore, this paper attempts to study selected stories of Professor Shonku to delineate how the stories embody anti-colonial nationalism in the representation of India, project the postcolonial notion of “alternative modernities” and indigenize the genre of SF through the juxtaposition of indigenous epistemologies as well as myth and folkloric traditions.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"47 1 1","pages":"45 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84808102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
