Research on the Classification of Western Literary Criticism Under M. H. Abrams’Fourfold Model

This study explores the application of Abrams’Fourfold Model in the classification of Western literary criticism.Abrams’framework categorizes literary criticism into four fundamental elements:text,author,world,and audience.The text is viewed as an independent entity with intrinsic artistic value,necessitating a detailed analysis of its structure,style,themes,and symbols.Author study delves into the creator’s life and socio-cultural context,often to uncover the work’s deeper meanings.Contextual study situates the work within its historical and social milieu,examining its reflection of or response to societal norms and events.Audience response analysis considers the diverse interpretations shaped by readers’backgrounds,emphasizing the reader’s role in constructing the work’s meaning.The study concludes that Abrams’Fourfold Model offers a comprehensive and flexible analytical tool,enabling critics to engage with literary works from multiple perspectives,thereby enriching the understanding of literary complexity and diversity.

Innovative Teaching Research on Literary Theory and Criticism

Landscape Architecture in Literature Classics——Comparative Analysis of Gardens in A Dream in Red Mansions and The Story of Genji

In the study of two similar literature masterpieces, A Dream in Red Mansions and The Story of Genji, garden planning, plant selection, aesthetic conception, descriptions about gardens, religious elements, architectural decorations and touring ways in both works were comparatively analyzed. Differences in geological conditions, social backgrounds, aesthetic traditions and religious beliefs led to different development trends of gardens in China and Japan. Chinese gardens were largely influenced by humanistic and cultural elements, famous for poetic and artistic conceptions, while Japanese gardens covered by religious colors, and most of its private gardens built with Buddhist preferences just like temple gardens. Chinese gardens valued the application of diversified plant species, while Japanese gardens favored evergreen plants, not flowers. Chinese preferred sightseeing in scenery, but Japanese preferred meditation, which means that, there were different touring ways in two countries. In conclusion, social and cultural differences contributed to the literati garden with profound humanity background in China and the Buddhist garden of religious colors in Japan.

A Comparative Study of Artificial Intelligence and Translation Software in Chinese-English Translation:A Focus on Literary and Technical Texts

In recent years,the domain of machine translation has experienced remarkable growth,particularly with the emergence of neural machine translation,which has significantly enhanced both the accuracy and fluency of translation.At the same time,AI also showed its tremendous advancement,with its capabilities now extending to assisting users in a multitude of tasks,including translation,garnering attention across various sectors.In this paper,the author selects representative sentences from both literary and scientific texts,and translates them using two translation software and two AI tools for comparison.The results show that all four translation tools are very efficient and can help with simple translation tasks.However,the accuracy of terminology needs to be improved,and it is difficult to make adjustments based on the characteristics of the target language.It is worth mentioning that one of the advantages of AI is its interactivity,which allows it to modify the translation according to the translator’s needs.

The Application of Embodied Cognitive Linguistics in the English Translation of Two-Part Allegorical Saying—An Analysis of Examples From A Dream of Red Mansions

As a kind of widely circulated folk language,two-part allegorical saying(“xiehouyu”)carries the wisdom of the Chinese people and is characterized with humor and vivid imagery.Taking the two English translation versions of A Dream of Red Mansions as examples,this paper analyzes the English translation of two-part allegorical saying based on the core principle of Embodied Cognitive Linguistics(ECL),“Reality-Cognition-Language”,and explores how the English translation of two-part allegorical saying reflects the three dimensions of ECL.

Experiences on Participation in Literary Activities: Intellectual Stimuli Empower People with Mental Health Problems

Some research acknowledges engagement in creative and literary activities as constructively impacting rehabilitation and recovery. Nevertheless, there is a deficit of literature describing experiences of participation in literary activities. This study examined how members of a non-profit association for mental health, with experiences of mental problems or illnesses, experienced group-based literary activities facilitated of a bi-disciplinary research team during one semester. This study held a constructive/naturalistic design and used a qualitative methodology with a latent analysis to describe how participants experienced literary activities (creative writing, reading and conversations about published and own written poetry and prose texts). Both individual and focus-group interviews were performed early 2014. Despite previous negative experiences, the findings showed that the participants perceived the literary activities empowering. Four categories were created: Presumptions of personal literacy, leadership role, participants’ role, and literacy development. These were abstracted and interpreted into three themes: Identifying a reading and writing self-image, challenging and redefining one’s reading and writing identity, and strengthening one’s intellectual and humanistic capacity. Literary activities seemed to positively change the participants’ attitudes towards writing and reading, and also enhanced their literacy skills. We argue that literacy skills are interconnected with health literacy. Involvement of literary activities into rehabilitation in mental health practice may be beneficial for some groups, and merits further studies.

Felski’s Literary Sociological Thought From the Perspective of Actor-Network Theory

The relationship between literature and society has been a subject of continuous exploration since the inception of literature itself.On the one hand,from Plato’s theory of mimesis onward,literature has consistently been viewed as a representation of social reality,positioning literature as subordinate to society.On the other hand,with the rise of structuralism and the New Criticism,certain schools of thought have focused exclusively on literature itself,deliberately overlooking the complex connections between literature and society.The growing tension between these two perspectives has increasingly placed contemporary literary studies in a polarized state,leading to a crisis in the legitimacy of literary scholarship.In response to this,Rita Felski’s exploration of the uses of literature embodies a new literary sociology that offers a way out of the current impasse in literary studies.

新版《红楼梦》分层叙事的得与失

李少红的新版《红楼梦》以120回通行本(红校本)为底本,采取了同小说一样的分层叙事技巧。在形式上最大限度地接近原著,这是以往各种影视版本的《红楼梦》都未曾做到的。电视的分层叙事与小说的分层叙事实际上并非一致,它简化了叙事层次,因而通俗易懂,故事流畅。但旁白的高层叙事与影像的主要叙事并没有协调到位,造成信息冗余与信息缺失,影响了该剧的艺术传播效果。过分强调旁白叙事,"采取神话与现实两条线同时进行",误解了原著跨层叙事的作用,强化了故事的虚幻感。

基于DREAM算法的DSGE模型参数估计精度研究

文章将人工智能算法中的DREAM算法首次应用到动态随机一般均衡模型的参数估计中,并以动态随机一般均衡模型LS(2005)为例对该算法的估计精度进行了系统分析,研究结果表明:根据待估参数随机抽样序列的箱线图来看,由DREAM算法产生的待估参数随机抽样序列的箱体长度均比RWMH和IMH算法产生的箱体长度要长,说明由DREAM算法产生的参数估计序列的分散程度比RWMH和IMH算法要大,表明了DREAM算法遍历参数空间范围更为广泛,算法逃逸局部最优值的能力更强。另外,从箱线图中的中位数数值来看,除了5个参数以外,由DREAM算法产生的参数估计序列的中位数相比RWMH和IMH算法,与真实数据生成过程更为接近,说明由DREAM算法产生的参数估计值大部分都集中在参数的真值附近。由于DREAM算法依据IQR统计方法除去无用链,故由DREAM算法产生的参数估计序列的异常值也明显降低,而RWMH算法产生的参数估计序列的异常值尤其多。从待估参数的90%最大后验密度可信区间来看,DREAM算法产生的待估参数90%最大后验密度可信区间除了3个参数以外,其余全部包含了真值,而传统的RWMH和IMH算法分别只有7个和1个区间包含了真值,表明DREAM算法的估计不确定性远小于传统的RWMH和IMH算法。最后,根据待估参数的无效因子来看,DREAM算法产生的待估参数序列与传统的RWMH和IMH算法相比,其相关性更弱,即无效因子数值更小,这一点进一步验证了DREAM算法遍历整个参数空间的能力更强。

A Literary Darwinist Interpretation of Jane and Hogo’s Romantic Relationship in Snow White

In Snow White,Donald Barthelme subversively rewrites the Grimm’s fairy tale“Snow White”with a postmodern sense.One significant adaptation is the parody of the wicked stepmother-figure into Jane-a semi-witch who bemoans the passing of her youth and tries to keep the love of the opposite sex desperately.Jane as the female antagonist with her caddish lover Hogo forms a romantic relationship which constructs a main conflict in the novel,and their romance works like a distorting mirror,dramatically reflecting the states of American in the 1960s.This paper is intended to interpret Jane and Hogo’s romantic relationship by profiling Jane and Hogo in romance,analyzing the conflicts between their mating strategies and Jane’s consequent sexual jealousy from the perspective of Literary Darwinism.Through the analysis,the carnalism,individualism,and the unbroken gender shackle depicted in the novel are revealed and criticized,facilitating the understanding of human nature and Barthelme’s attitude towards the postmodern world.

Feminist Literary Criticism: A Paradigm of Matriarchy inLiterature

Feminist literary theory underpins literature from matriarchal perspective revolting against prototype patriarchal ritual i.e.established dogmatism,superstition,close-eyed religious propaganda,language engineering and so forth.It questions the textual politics of dissipating womankind in literature.It shatters long-cherishing outlook of gender inequality,gender politics,power relation,sexual objectification,oppression,patriarchy,stereotyping and so on.In this connection,this theory sees women along with their experiences,thinking,language,position and role playing,cultural conditioning,diction,and above all,matriarchal assertion in literature.Feminist literary criticism has been generated from feminism and the basic aim of the theory is to investigate and trace out how female characters have been positioned in literature compared with male characters in terms of social and biological factors of different ages of the past started from antiquity.Feminist literary theory has also deconstructed texts from two different perspectives i.e.text written by men and text written by women.This paper attempts to evalualte feminist literary criticism as a subtle machinery or paradigm of matriarchy not only in avant-garde but also in old texts of literature.

Translation Studies from a Cross-Cultural Perspective:Reinventing Subjectivity-A Case Study of English Translation of A Dream of Red Mansions

The integration of cross-cultural inquiries into the realm of translation has given rise to a distinct subfield known as cross-cultural translation studies.This approach emphasizes the importance of delving into the cultural subtleties and the awareness of cultural subjectivity within the translation process.Central to this framework is the concept of reshaping cultural nuances and the subjectivity of culture.This paper introduces three principal translation strategies that emerge from a cross-cultural standpoint:the alienation translation strategy,the‘cannibalism’translation strategy,and the destructive translation strategy.Utilizing the English translation of“Dream of the Red Chamber”as a case study,the paper examines how cultural nuances and cultural subjectivity influence the selection of translation strategies and demonstrates the practical application of cross-cultural research within the translation sphere.Hence,the significance of cross-cultural translation studies lies in its capacity to offer a novel lens through which to view translation studies.It encourages a reevaluation of cultural nuances and subjectivity in translation,which is of profound practical importance for advancing the field of translation studies,enhancing cross-cultural communication,and facilitating the spread of Chinese discourse on the global stage.
