Compared with Mulan in classical Chinese literature, the system of representations behind Mulan in America has undergone variation. But how and why does it vary? And what is the significance of the variation? This paper is going to analyze the cause of the variation of Mulan by reviewing the changes and development in both China and America from the perspective of the Variation Theory of Comparative Literature. This paper claims that Mulan has developed into a new system of representations via cultural filtering and authors’ reinterpreting when traveling to America. Yet, the cultural codes behind Mulan that have variated do not merely reveal the differences between Chinese and American culture but more importantly the difference between premodern and modern ethics, between ancient China and the modern West.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"249 8 1","pages":"45 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90787109","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}

This work of fiction has also attracted overseas scholars and in 2002 even the well-known translators Howard Goldblatt and his wife Sylvia Li-chun Lin translated this work into English with the title Red Poppies. Rewriting of the title indicated Goldblatt’s domestication translation strategy with the purpose to entertain his readers and to follow American ideology. This translation strategy improved the popularity and circulation of the English version, leaving sufficient room for imagination for the readers. On the other hand, this translation strategy diminished the Tibetan historical narrative, changed ideological discourses such as relationships between Tibetan and Han nationalities and created a gulf between different Tibetan classes and abandoned some Han and Tibetan qualities of the fiction. This interpretation led some readers to overstate the identity anxiety of the Tibetan authors and the conflict between Tibetan and Han culture.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"185 1","pages":"12 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77755220","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}

This concept of literary history, like the concept of the twentieth-century Chinese literature advocated in the 1980s, has the goal of literary development according to its own traditional political ideology, and at the same time shows the reflection and review of the separation from the historical context of China’s reality in previous research. Through academic debate and discussion in recent years, the misunderstanding of the concept of “literature of the Republic of China” as a literary criticism method has been further clarified. The concept, showing the unique value of “the Republic of China as a method,” can not only broaden the scope of Chinese modern literature studies, but also form a better atmosphere of the conversation with other current research topics such as “Taiwan literature” and “Chinese literature.”","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"6 1","pages":"60 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81731404","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}

Afterward, it goes on to highlight the role Caliban’s and the Surfacing narrator’s fathers played in making the colonization of their children justified, so to speak.

As the representative poet of the school of Romanticism, William Wordsworth is supposed to revise and refine Pope’s ideas, who is the representative of the schools of Neoclassicism and who came earlier than Wordsworth. Pope believed that there are rules and traditions in literary classics, and he emphasized the importance of learning about them and applying them in poets’ creation to make the poetry just and conformed. Wordsworth, who came later, preferred the utmost and fluent expression of personal feelings to rigid adherence to rules and traditions. Yet, if we reexamine the two great critics’ ideas about how to make poetry, we will find that both emphasize a synthesis of rules and feelings, for example Pope’s “Nature” and “Homer,” and Wordsworth’s “Nature” and “Shakespeare.” This essay will reexamine critical works of both Pope and Wordsworth to illuminate how critics from different times give similar ideas about the synthesis of rules and feelings in the creation of poetry.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"129 1","pages":"168 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85340079","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}

Lastly, Song of Solomon also uses some techniques such as allegory and symbolism to convey the themes.

Examining a few key dimensions of this motif, we first discuss the hand’s appearance in all of Volume 1 (1981), as well as in selected instances throughout later issues. Second, we linger on Art/Life’s earliest collages as art’s high-brow ‘aura’ took a hit with printing technology’s first democratic offering to artists. Following a natural progression, we then turn our attention to Art/Life as democratic medium, focusing on an international mail art project. This essay then closes this treatment with a zoom-in on first and last anniversary issues. The only issue ever boxed, the November/December issue of Volume One allowed for an explosion of artistic and material possibilities, leading the transformation of Art/Life from two-dimensional Xerox-based zine to multi-media artist-book collected and archived by the world’s leading academic and art institutions. This development culminated in Art/Life’s 25th Anniversary Issue.","PeriodicalId":34832,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Literature East West","volume":"1138 1","pages":"228 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72683753","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}
