“诗界革命”的宿将——评李端棻《瑟园诗存》

李端棻《苾园诗存》147首,大部分写于流放新疆之后,诗歌揭露黑暗现实,批判专制制度,宣扬“平等”、“自由”等资产阶级民主观念,为贵州民智开发的先声。其内容与风格与“诗界革命”主张隐然契合。李端菜应该是“诗界革命”的宿将。     

《全宋诗·文彦博诗》辑补

文彦博是北宋的一代名臣,在文学和书法上也颇受推崇,传世文集有<文潞公集>40卷.<全宋诗>卷273至卷278"文彦博"条下辑录了他的诗集,集外又补辑8首,但仍有遗漏.本文主要根据<两宋名贤小集>和乾隆<济源县志>及同治<榆次县志>、<宋人小集>等文献,辑录集外佚诗计35首又2句.并勘正4处讹误.     

袁枚的“诗”“学”观

袁枚针对清诗目益学问化所露出的弊端,抗声提出诗主性灵,非关学问,于是有人误认为以袁枚为代表的“性灵”诗派轻学浅薄,游学无根。事实上袁枚很重视诗歌与学问的关系,他对“诗”与“学”的关系有三个基本主张：一是诗须有学,二是反对在诗中填书塞典,三是主张化学入诗。他的诗歌没有脱离清诗质厚重学的时代特征,不是清诗的变异,而恰好是这个茂盛园圃里敢于争春怒放的花朵。     

从生命体验结构涌出的诗歌创作——《人傍山斋残稿》序

《人傍山斋残稿》所收之诗,皆能吐属心声,抒发性灵,触景感发,多为佳句,不期而至之中,似有神助,实则仍来源于诗人之生命体验结构,离不开对生活物态之细腻微妙观察。足证真诗者,皆精神之所为;而诗歌之语言,实即生命体验之艺术升华。     

“Now let me share this with you”: Exploring Poetry as a Method for Postcolonial Geography Research

Abstract: In this article we attempt to “seize back the creative initiative” to uncover whether poetry might be a useful postcolonial research method. In exploring the possibilities and limitations of poetry as a means of re‐representing and interpreting data collected through in‐depth qualitative interviews, our conclusions are ambivalent: we are attracted to poetry but troubled by it too. For instance, poetry does hold promise through its ability to imaginatively project thoughts and ideas, opening up space so new perspectives can emerge. However, as academics we are always complicit in the knowledge creation process (albeit to varying degrees), and so the representative qualities of poetry are never unproblematic or straightforward. Thus although poetry does have potential as a method for postcolonial geography research, we are making a cautious and careful appeal for its use. We use the case of ecotourism research conducted in Boabeng‐Fiema Monkey Sanctuary in Ghana to explore these ideas.

A Review of “Henri Lefebvre and the Spanish Urban Experience: Reading the Mobile City”

In this article, the author analyzes how Salvador Espriu in La pell de brau (re)builds the myth of Sepharad that refers to the Hebrew name of the assembly of the medieval Hispanic kingdoms. La pell de brau is a work that opens the "collective cycle" toward a "we" framed within a specific historical context. The poet criticizes the unified vision of the Spanish nation and of the Catholic religion. The (re)construction of the myth of Sepharad not only reflects the crisis of the subject in search of an identity in an intolerant Spain after the civil war but also subverts the myth of the Spanish nation as created by the doctrine of National Catholicism under Franco.     

George eliot as a type of European intellectual∗

The article examines the developments that made the legend of an Asian migration into Europe part of mainstream historiography during the eighteenth century. It was believed that the Norse god Odin was in fact a historical person, who had migrated from Asia to with the north of Europe with his tribe. The significance of this legend to how medieval poetry was received and debated in England has received little attention. The study falls into three sections. The first will trace the significance of the Odin migration legend in discovering Germanic cultural origins. The second section examines the impact of the legend on philological studies, primarily in establishing a new category: the Gothic (i.e. Teutonic/Germanic) poetic tradition. The final section will focus on the debate between two of the most important eighteenth-century pioneers of vernacular poetic tradition: Thomas Percy and Thomas Warton. Their discussion over whether the Asian foundation of Germanic (and thereby English) tradition had paved the way for later Arabian influences is instructive, as it shows how Eastern “others” were negotiated in the discovery of cultural and national roots.     

Wedgwood’s Glazes: A Poetic Sequence Derived from Glaze Chemistry with Contextual Essay

Abstract

The Wedgwoodian heritage of Stoke-on-Trent’s pottery industry is examined from the perspective of an ‘outsider’ and through the double-lens of glaze chemistry and poetics. These glazes, in their acrobatic language and hieroglyphic formulae, formulate a new perception of Stoke. New expressions and perspectives are described that emerge free of a mythologized past and interrupt the narrative of this creative heritage. The poems are as much about demythologized approaches to heritage as they are about identification with a foreign place; a re-psychogeography.
