This paper uses Variation Theory, and elucidates the variation phenomenon when different literatures disseminate and influence each other before proposing the method of variation studies of literary dissemination. Detailed discussions are divided into two categories of case analysis. Firstly, the images of China shown in Western literature experience changes from positive to negative in different periods due to historical milieu, ideology and writers’ personal viewpoints etc. Secondly, the literary text Dee Goong An (Di Gong An) undergoes “China-the West-China” and “Chinese-English-Chinese” circulation. In such a cyclical influence, the text, the image of Judge Dee and Chinese detective novels all experience several instances of recreation and variation, showing that cultural context, readers’ esthetic reception and linguistic variations etc. influence the dissemination of literary texts. Case analysis illustrates that this method conforms to the core idea of Variation Theory, transforming from simply seeking the sameness to filling in the gaps of differences. Thus, a new method is provided for the studies of cross-cultural literary communication.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"52 1","pages":"45 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85756750","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}

As a matter of fact, Feng translated seven works from Chinese into English in total, and his English works also contain a lot of translation elements, for example, “Why China Has No Science – An Interpretation of the History and Consequences of Chinese Philosophy” 中国为何无科学 – – 对于中国哲学之历史及其结果之一解释 (1922) and A Short History of Chinese Philosophy 中国哲学简史 (1948). Based on historical documents and the method of empirical analysis, the paper provides an analysis of how Feng Youlan constructed an image of Chinese philosophy in his Chinese-English translations from five perspectives: (1) he argued for the existence of philosophy in China; (2) he created a positive image of Chinese philosophy in the West; (3) he accurately translated Chinese philosophical terms into English; (4) he interpreted Chinese traditional philosophy from a Chinese scholar’s perspective; (5) he translated Chinese academic works.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"13 4 1","pages":"58 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77892972","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}

The Story of the Stone]. The crucial ideas of love, fate and prognostication are entangled with and deliberately interrelated with the narrative techniques of Hongloumeng. Hinted in the dreams and hallucinations, almost all female characters are unable to refrain from falling into the wheels of prognosticated fate. The effects of fate and prognostication also fall upon Jia Baoyu 賈寶玉, amidst a group of charismatic females, who is depicted as being obsessed in feminine passion and desire. In the final chapters, his ultimate release from worldly attachments, believed to be fulfilled by the identity of a Buddhist monk, displays such metamorphosis accompanied by the transmigrated nature of the stone-jade that penetrates the whole story. Love, dreams, illusions and fate work closely in successfully rendering the plot of the novel, under which dreadful predictions disclose themselves in a subconscious sense. The Buddhist ideas that everything is never permanent, which must gradually return to their original void, and people’s attachments to worldly riches and cravings are strongly fated to be hindrances to final enlightenment.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"34 1","pages":"28 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87942963","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}

Fronting the Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli from 1985, Miyazaki has developed into an auteur figure with his films attracting considerable attention from scholars. The films of Hayao Miyazaki are characterized by a consistent creative philosophy, a philosophy that this article contends is profoundly shaped by the esthetic, philosophical, and artistic traditions of the European Romantic movement. Miyazaki’s engagement with Romanticism can be characterized by his interpretation of the Romantic sublime, a concept inherently linked to the traditions of the Romantic hero, the magical imagination, and the natural realm. This engagement with Romantic ideals is illustrated in this article by analyzing the thematic and visual elements of Miyazaki’s films, highlighting how these particular films reflect, and embody, particular Romantic ideals. In studying these films through a conceptual framework of the Romantic sublime, this article provides a deeper insight into Hayao Miyazaki’s creative philosophy.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"22 1","pages":"176 - 191"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86703714","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}

Psychoanalysts maintain that the unconscious is the storehouse of our childhood painful experiences and emotions expunged from our consciousness because we do not want to know and be overwhelmed by them. Thus, they organize our current experience: we unconsciously behave in ways that will allow us to “play out”; without acquiescing it to ourselves, our conflicted feelings about the painful experiences and emotions we repress. With psychoanalytic criticism as the theoretical framework and textual analysis as our methodology, the objective of this study is to establish how Literature and Psychology, the two different disciplines, interplay through the archetypes; Yaremi and Emma Bovary in Lonely Days (2006) and Madame Bovary (1857). This study analyzes the personalities of these heroines and how they react to their instinctual impulses as their id remains in search of their lost object petit a in the face of the psychological events of their daily lives. We discover the creators’ societal criticism through these archetypes; while one is narcissistic and the other pessimistic as a result of their ego’s excessive deployment of defense mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"129 7 1","pages":"163 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79599820","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}

The Chinese character Monkey King is one of the most representative legends in Chinese culture, representing resistance, longing for freedom, and a somewhat individualistic heroism, and is also the protagonist in the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West written by Wu Chengen in the Ming Dynasty. When stories about Monkey King travel to the heterogeneous cultural context, variations of such cultural images inescapability occur. This article will compare aspects of the novel with the Monkey King in Chinese American writer Maxine Hong Kingston’s novel Tripmaster Monkey: His Fake Book (1990) and in Native American writer Gerald Vizenor’s novel Griever: An American Monkey King in China (1987). Supported by concepts from the variation theory of comparative literature, which focuses on changes, or variations, in the cross-cultural literary transfer processes, this article shows how and why variations between the Chinese cultural legend and the American re-writings is determined by cross-cultural variation by changing the cultural context, which can be seen as a framework for the study of cross-cultural communication.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"17 1","pages":"205 - 215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74170406","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}
