The Translation of Allusions in Political Discourse:An Intertextuality Perspective

drawn from ancient classics are the treasures of traditional Chinese culture.The allusions used in Xi Jinping:The Governance of China illustrate a distinctive feature of political discourse,and the publication of its English version provides a valuable opportunity for the study of allusions in translated political discourse.With the English translations of 241 allusions collected from two volumes of the book,we classified these allusions into three categories of history,culture,and literature based on their original sources.Then we analyzed the strategies used in translating the allusions,and provided typical examples to illustrate the use of such translation strategies for each category.Finally,we tried to account for the use of these strategies in light of the intertextuality theory.

A Comparative Study on Intertextuality of The Tell-Tale Heart and The Yellow Wallpaper

Intertextuality theory is one of extremely important critical methods in a host of western literary theories and provides a new perspective for numerous research scholars and common readers to comprehend and elaborate literature and literary works.This thesis uses multiple and comprehensive ways mainly based on the theory of intertextuality.Theory of symbolism and the method of close reading are also used to explored the internal connection of two short stories:The Tell-Tale Heart and The Yellow Wallpaper.The author attempts to build blocks to application practice of the intertextuality theory in specific works,and elaborate the value and significance of intertextuality comprehension from two aspects including literary reading and literary inheritance.

Intertextuality in“The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock”

T.S.Eliot was a leader of the Modernist movement in poetry.His early poem The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock reveals the disappointment,loss,confusion and lack of faith that prevailed in Western society after the World WarⅠ.In this paper,the text of Love Song will be assessed from the perspective of intertextuality through the connection of the fantasy world and the disconnection of the real world.

A Retrodirective Array Enabled by CMOS Chips for Two-Way Wireless Communication with Automatic Beam Tracking

This article proposes and demonstrates a retrodirective array(RDA)for two-way wireless communication with automatic beam tracking.The proposed RDA is enabled by specifically designed chips made using a domestic complementary metal-oxide semiconductor(CMOS)process.The highly integrated CMOS chip includes a receiving(Rx)chain,a transmitting(Tx)chain,and a unique tracking phaselocked loop(PLL)for the crucial conjugated phase recovery in the RDA.This article also proposes a method to reduce the beam pointing error(BPE)in a conventional RDA.To validate the above ideas simply yet without loss of generality,a 2.4 GHz RDA is demonstrated through two-way communication links between the Rx and Tx chains,and an on-chip quadrature coupler is designed to achieve a nonretrodirective signal suppression of 23 dBc.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed RDA,which incorporates domestically manufactured low-cost 0.18 lm CMOS chips,is capable of automatically tracking beams covering±40with a reduced BPE.Each CMOS chip in the RDA has a compact size of 4.62 mm^(2) and a low power consumption of 0.15 W.To the best of the authors’knowledge,this is the first research to demonstrate an RDA with a fully customized CMOS chip for wireless communication with automatic beam tracking。

Reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution with two-way classical communication

The data post-processing scheme based on two-way classical communication(TWCC)can improve the tolerable bit error rate and extend the maximal transmission distance when used in a quantum key distribution(QKD)system.In this study,we apply the TWCC method to improve the performance of reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution(RFI-QKD),and analyze the influence of the TWCC method on the performance of decoy-state RFI-QKD in both asymptotic and non-asymptotic cases.Our numerical simulation results show that the TWCC method is able to extend the maximal transmission distance from 175 km to 198 km and improve the tolerable bit error rate from 10.48%to 16.75%.At the same time,the performance of RFI-QKD in terms of the secret key rate and maximum transmission distance are still greatly improved when statistical fluctuations are considered.We conclude that RFI-QKD with the TWCC method is of practical interest.

Beamforming Design for IRS-and-UAV-Aided Two-Way Amplify-and-Forward Relay Networks in Maritime IoT

In this paper,an intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)-and-unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)-assisted two-way amplify-and-forward(AF)relay network in maritime Internet of Things(IoT)is proposed,where ship1(S1)and ship2(S2)can be viewed as data collecting centers.To enhance the message exchange rate between S1 and S2,a problem of maximizing minimum rate is cast,where the variables,namely AF relay beamforming matrix and IRS phase shifts of two time slots,need to be optimized.To achieve a maximum rate,a low-complexity alternately iterative(AI)scheme based on zero forcing and successive convex approximation(LC-ZF-SCA)algorithm is presented.To obtain a significant rate enhancement,a high-performance AI method based on one step,semidefinite programming and penalty SCA(ONSSDP-PSCA)is proposed.Simulation results show that by the proposed LC-ZF-SCA and ONS-SDP-PSCA methods,the rate of the IRS-and-UAV-assisted AF relay network surpass those of with random phase and only AF relay networks.Moreover,ONS-SDP-PSCA perform better than LC-ZF-SCA in aspect of rate.

Security-Reliability Analysis and Optimization for Cognitive Two-Way Relay Network with Energy Harvesting

This paper investigates the security and reliability of information transmission within an underlay wiretap energy harvesting cognitive two-way relay network.In the network,energy-constrained secondary network(SN)nodes harvest energy from radio frequency signals of a multi-antenna power beacon.Two SN sources exchange their messages via a SN decode-and-forward relay in the presence of a multiantenna eavesdropper by using a four-phase time division broadcast protocol,and the hardware impairments of SN nodes and eavesdropper are modeled.To alleviate eavesdropping attacks,the artificial noise is applied by SN nodes.The physical layer security performance of SN is analyzed and evaluated by the exact closed-form expressions of outage probability(OP),intercept probability(IP),and OP+IP over quasistatic Rayleigh fading channel.Additionally,due to the complexity of OP+IP expression,a self-adaptive chaotic quantum particle swarm optimization-based resource allocation algorithm is proposed to jointly optimize energy harvesting ratio and power allocation factor,which can achieve security-reliability tradeoff for SN.Extensive simulations demonstrate the correctness of theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed optimization algorithm.

Interpretation of absurdity by intertextuality： Comments on Donald Barthelme＇s The glass mountain

The paper focuses on the analysis of the intertexts to show the reality hidden inside Barthelme＇s The glass mountain. Barthelme is a representative of postmodernism. He employs typical writing skills, such as collage, fragments and discontinuous narratives, in The glass mountain to illustrate absurdity in the text. As a centerpiece of postmodernism, this fiction can be correctly interpreted by the way of intertextuality, which is a key to reveal the text＇s absurdity. Through such comparison, readers can understand that the purpose of absurd writing is to demonstrate reality in the modern world.

“There is Always The Other Side”: Deconstruction of English Identity and Masculinity——Intertextuality between Wide Sargasso Sea and Jane Eyre

Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea is the classic revisionary novella of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. It rewrites the tragic story of Mr. Rochester's voiceless and lunatic ex-wife, Berthe Mason. This paper turns to the intertextual relationship between the two texts and argues that the subversive rewriting of Wide Sargasso Sea destabilizes and deconstructs Mr. Rochester's English identity and masculinity, which are manifestly presented in the pre-text. It therefore renders the young Mr. Rochester problematic and insufficient, reveals"the other side"of the story and articulately tells the truth about who is really the mad one.

A Study of Specific Intertextuality in English Print Advertisements

互文性理论是当代西方后现代主义文化思潮中产生出来的一种文本理论。自从1969年法国学者朱莉娅·克里斯特瓦提出"互文"这一概念以来,互文研究在文学批评、翻译等许多领域得到了长足发展,但是,尽管实用语篇诸如广告语篇中存在着普遍的互文现象,有关实用语篇方面的互文研究依然非常少。本文运用互文分析理论,对平面广告中的细节互文现象进行分析,着重研究互文性在平面广告中的表现形式,语篇功能等。

Intertextuality Revisited:Reflections on Subject in Process,Textual Analysis and Reading/Writing Behavior in Cyberspace

Often regarded as one crucial concept in the current of poststructrualistic thought,intertextuality is influential with regard to its application in discursive perspective and literary criticism.This paper argues that the notion should also be understood in the theoretical backdrop of how the concept of subject is constructed in the 1960s.Two critics are specifically mentioned in the discussion:Julia Kristeva’s psychoanalytic understanding of the subject in process that stresses the transpositions of signs in both textual and contextual meanings complicates the once delimited register of textuality,while Roland Barthes,with his claim of the demise of the author,appeals for a reevaluation of the conventional grasp of the idea of the writer and the reader,and their relations with the text.This paper will conclude with one of the most significant derivations of intertextuality—hypertextuality.Relevant to how modern subjects in the era of digitalization read and write,this latter concept materializes,in cyberspace,the documents of printed media,and substantially demonstrates the liquification of information on the Internet.

Intertextuality in The Sound and the Fury

This paper analysed The Sound and the Fury with the theory of intertextuality, with the aim of going back tointersubjectivity, as promoted by Mikhail Bakhtin. Drawing insight from Susan Sontag’s opinion on“interpretation”, the author highlights the importance of openness and indeterminacy, as well as the significance ofthe “form”. The author argues that Faulkner found his own voice in the dialogue with previous writers and invitedreaders to interact with the texts as well.

Intertextuality Liberates Readers—Reading Invisible Man in the Light of Intertextuality

Ralph Ellison' s Invisible Man describes an unknown name Black man' s growth.It also penetrates African American' s history of struggling for survival.In the perspective of intertextuality,this paper analyzes the allusions of the historical figures and contexts;it explains the relation between this novel and other texts;it helps to clarify the author' s attitude after comparing Blacks' survival strategies.The paper argues that intertextualiy,as an important critical method,liberates readers.

Instances of Intertextuality in Translating Brand Names into Chinese

Many international brands have a phenomenal Chinese name which,paradoxically,comes from a rather prosaic name.The reason for this may lie in the fact that they need an outstanding translation of their names in order to be successful in international marketing.Hence the translation of brand names is an important part of the advertisement.And a good translation is expected to bridge the differences of cultures,languages,spending habits,thinking patterns,etc.

＂Historical Rewriting＂ and ＂Alternative Fairy Tales＂ in Contemporary Vietnamese Prose： Intertextuality or Incredulity Towards Grand Narratives

At the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century, Vietnamese literature witnessed unprecedented innovations in the aesthetic thinking of writers and the narrative structure of their works. One of the most interesting manifestations of this new movement was not merely the introduction of new aesthetic materials and factors, but the adoption and positive ＂reprocessing＂ of traditional factors---especially historical factors and folk narrative factors. Based on intertextual theory, we would like to address the strong penetration, reproduction, and transformation of some folk storytelling models and historical materials in Vietnamese literature since 1986. Two corresponding phenomena we examine are ＂historical rewriting＂ and ＂alternative fairy tales＂--as part of the whole process of incredulity towards grand narratives and postmodernism in the contemporary Vietnamese prose.

Subversion of Patriarchy： Intertextuality in Carol Ann Duffy＇s The WorM＇s Wife

The WorM＇s Wife （1999）, written by Carol Ann Duffy, who is the first woman and first openly LGBT person appointed Britain＇s poet Laureate, is a collection of poems which makes full use of intertextuality to show Duffy＇s subversion to patriarchy. In this collection, histories and myths are parodied, quoted, alluded and even rewritten. Women in her poems are given chances to speak out for themselves, which can be seen as a form of resistance against patriarchy. In this article, constitutive intertextuality as well as manifest intertextuality like parody, quotation and allusion in The WorM＇s Wife will be discussed specifically. By analyzing how those intertextual features are adopted as a form of resistance against patriarchy, this article aims to help readers form a better perception of the feminism Duffy raises, and tries to help more women who are being suppressed by men, to find and reconstruct their identities.

Discovering True Identity—Interpretation of Fences Through Broad-Sensed Intertextuality

As the third play in August Wilson’s ten-play series,Fences marks a milestone for Wilson in the commercial arena and unquestionably affirms his mastery of the art of play-writing.Under the theoretical framework of Julia Kristeva’s broad-sensed intertextuality,this paper explores the intertextual features of Fences to reveal that to survive in a hostile white-dominated environment where the idea of melting pot was advocated and racial discrimination remained widespread in 1950s,African Americans must discover the value of their true self.
