1. Anthologizing Heterophonies: A Critical Study of Anthologies of Tang Poetry in the Late Ming Period<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project aims at developing an innovative and critical approach to the secular poetics in the late Ming period through a study of the pastiche anthologies of Tang poetry of the time. The focus is on pastiche anthologies 1) which contain different and\/or contradictory opinions, and 2) which assemble commentaries of different critics and\/or rival schools into single compilations. This is to reveal 1) how pastiche anthologies combine and complicate unrelated or contradictory opinions, 2) how literary history and the canon were imparted from the upper to the lower class, and 3) how pastiches anthologies cultivate the secularized aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. In Search of the \u201cLyrical Tradition\u201d: The Conception of Lyricism in Modern Studies of Chinese Literature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project aims at giving a pioneering insight into Chinese lyrical tradition through reviewing the to-date literature and tracking back the prototype and ongoing development of the tradition. The focus is on 1) what has been dis\/agreed regarding the tradition, and 2) what, why, and how the preceding literary conception have influenced the conceptions of the three founders of the Chinese lyrical tradition. This to 1) reveal the process of the gradual development of the Chinese lyrical tradition, 2) propose a non-traditional way through which people can study Chinese literature, and 3) answer some controversial questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. \u00a0A Study of Hong Kong Literature under Japanese Occupation: \u201cPeace Literature\u201d, Dai Wangshu, Ye Lingfeng and Other Authors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through collecting and reorganising Hong Kong literature published during the Japanese Occupation, including literary works and critiques on newspapers and magazines, such as\u00a0Huaqiao ribao<\/em>,\u00a0Xiangdao ribao<\/em>,\u00a0Xianggang ribao<\/em>,\u00a0South China Daily News<\/em>,\u00a0New Asia<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Da Tong Hua Bao<\/em>, this study examines works of Dai Wangshu (\u6234\u671b\u8212, 1905\u20131950) and Ye Lingfeng (\u8449\u9748\u9cf3, 1904\u20131975) that were written during that time period, and the contention that revolves around \u201cPeace Literature\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study aims to give a systematic presentation of literary documents of the period of Japanese Occupation \u2014 a topic that has long been neglected, and analyse their literary values; it is also a study of the theory and works related to \u201cPeace Literature\u201d. This research mainly focuses on Dai Wangshu and Ye Lingfeng, though other writers, including Chen Junbao (\u9673\u541b\u8446, 1898\u20131982), Huang Lu (\u9ec3\u9b6f), will also be discussed. We will explore how writers at that time implicitly expressed their resistance, through the use of metaphors, enigmatic language, and symbols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
