Borges＇s poetics of reading and dreaming require another poetics of the work as a text that calls attention to its own artifice. In reading Borges＇ fiction, the separate roles and identities of reader, writer, and work of fiction merge and exchange roles, powers, and identities and are transformed into a single act of dreaming, which assumes cosmogonic and apocalyptic risks. In the dominant role given to the reader, the work of fiction as an object or work of art does not exist unless it is read. There is no determinate text, only a version of our own we re-write and invent every time we read the text. The author＇s reading is not a spontaneous evocation of vision, but an artifice, as artificial as the writing of the fiction. As writers and readers we are composed of texts and schemata, alphabets and artifacts, not merely mental perceptions and ideas. The reader requires a prior text to copy, translate, and recreate, and that text only exists as a fictional microcosm in so far as it is being read by a Reader who is able to actualize the revelation only imminent within it.展开更多

In order to clarify the essence of Pound＇s early poetics under the influence of Chinese classical poems, the paper starts from the discussion of the influence of Cathay （1915） and his translation of Cathay; then it provides a detailed analysis of the relationship between Chinese classical poems and Pound＇s creation; and finally it has given an analysis of ＂In a Station of the Metro＂. Pound absorbed different poetic concepts from all of them and transformed his poetry from the conventional Romanticism to the innovative Modemism. What Pound innovated in the poetry composition is of great importance if the new era wishes to shake off the banality and out-of-date tradition in literature. Pound changed a whole generation of poets and set a good example for those who desire to write in a new way展开更多

This essay aims to combine cognitive poetics with multimodal discourse analysis(MDA) to analyze concrete poems from readers' angle. In this research, figure and ground, conceptual metaphor, and image schema of cognitive poetics are adopted to interpret A War Symphony and l(a from the perspective of visual modality and auditory modality. Meanwhile, the differences between Chinese and English concrete poetry in modality choosing and meaning conveying as well as the reasons are explored. This research reveals that readers are able to comprehend poetic meaning according to their life experiences. The multi-dimensional perspective of visual and auditory modalities is conductive to exploring how readers challenge traditional reading mode to interpret poetic ideas. Meanwhile, three theories of cognitive poetics facilitate readers to perceive poetics effect with a cognitive mechanism.Therefore, all of these efforts are bound to arouse readers' interest in such a kind of anti-traditional poetry and broaden its popularity.展开更多
