Download or read book The Southern Garden Poetry Society written by David B Honey and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2013-03-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What has traditionally been the main matter explored by Cantonese literati? From the earliest poets—oceanic elements and riparian scenes contrasted with stunning rock formations; a love for the exotic, especially local plants, products, and lore; Daoist transcendentalism; and, finally, a concern for pointing up local loyalty to the distant throne and a fierce pride in being culturally authentically Chinese. The Southern Garden Poetry Society in Guangzhou was the only major literary club in Chinese history to be periodically reconvened over the Ming, Qing, and Republican eras. Beginning with an examination of its five founding members during the Yuan / Ming transition period, in particular Sun Fen (1335–1393), David Honey traces the various elements of this Southern Muse that became embodied in later Cantonese poetry, and pursues the issue of social memory by focusing on later reconvenings of the society.

Download or read book Sisyphusina written by Shira Dentz and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-05 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Women's Studies. Art. Music. SISYPHUSINA is a cross-genre collection of prose, poetry, visual art, and improvisatory music, centered on female aging. Faced with linguistic and literary traditions that lack rich vocabularies to describe female aging, Shira Dentz uses the hybrid form as an attempt to suture new language that reflects internal and physical processes that constitute a shifting identity. By deviating from formal classical construction, and using the recurring image of a rose, SISYPHUSINA circles around conventions of beauty, questioning traditional aesthetic values of continuity, coherence, and symmetry. Some of the book's images are drawn from separate multimedia collaborations between the author and composer Pauline Oliveros, artist Kathy High, and artist Kathline Carr. A musical composition improvised by Pauline Oliveros, based on one of her text scores, titled "Aging Music," is the book's coda, and readers can listen to it online by scanning a QR code inside the book. The interweaving of these collaborations with the author's voice and voices from other sources imbue this book with a porous texture, and reimagines the boundary of the book as a membrane.

Download or read book Cultural Transplantation The Writing of Classical Chinese Poetry in Colonial Singapore 1887 1945 written by Lap Lam and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical-style poetry in modern China and other Sinitic-speaking localities is attracting greater attention with the recent upsurge in academic revision of modern Chinese literary history. Using the concept of cultural transplantation, this monograph attempts to illustrate the uniqueness, compatibility, and adaptability of classical Chinese poetry in colonial Singapore as well as its sustained connections with literary tradition and homeland. It demonstrates how the reading of classical Chinese poetry can better our understanding of Singapore’s political, social, and cultural history, deepen knowledge of the transregional relationship between China and Nanyang, and fine-tune, redress, and enrich our perception of Singapore Chinese literature, Sinophone literature, the Chinese diaspora, and global Chinese identity.

Download or read book Poetic Transformations written by Claudine Ang and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth century, multiple migratory groups with competing political ambitions converged on the Mekong plains. In the frontier region, literati‐officials of a territorially-expanding Vietnamese state crossed paths with a network of diasporic Chinese Ming loyalists closely affiliated with the coastal trading network. Drawing on vernacular Vietnamese and classical Chinese sources, Claudine Ang identifies the different ways two leading statesmen of the time employed literature to transform the frontier region. In their rival cultural projects, we see the clash between the aspirations of Vietnamese and Chinese migrants. Ang shows how a bawdy play, in which a lascivious monk turns his charms on an unsuspecting nun, acted as a vehicle for differentiating Vietnamese lowlanders from their neighbors, and she uncovers in a suite of landscape poems coded messages aimed at founding a new Ming loyalist stronghold on the Mekong delta. Through its close reading of satirical drama and landscape poetry, Poetic Transformations captures a historical moment of overlapping visions, frustrated schemes, and contested desires on the Mekong plains.
Download or read book Spectrum III written by Rachel Wright and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-10-22 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is a tool. It is a voice to be heard. There are formal poems of all styles, and they are part of a history of poetry. There is no protocol or “right way” to express poems. The door is open. Words need people. People need words. Poems become songs, slogans, works of art, and prayers. My poems come from the heart without much ado. I seldom edit or stress over them. They are spontaneous and written in the early morning when I relax, write and ponder life. They are an impression of feelings on many subjects spurred by my personal love of a world free from societal expectations, war, pain and suffering. These poems cover nature, love, family, introspection, protest, common journeys of all peoples and the possibility of peace and rebirth on this planet and beyond. I am particularly interested in working with young people who begin the creative world of marks on paper, scribblings, drawings and writings at a very young age. They are a voice to be heard. Storytelling and rhymes are symbolic language from early times passed by word of mouth through elders and succeeding generations. I have connected with small groups of poets in coffee shops, on the street corners, in fairs, in family gatherings, weddings, passings, all speaking poetry as they experience it. They are my second community, my poet friends whom I join in person or online. These poems are written between 2014 and 2023. They belong to a trilogy of poetry books entitled: Spectrum, A Poetry Memoir; Spectrum II, A Poetry R-evolution; and this book, Poetry III, A Poetry Journal.

Download or read book Dreams and Lives in Ottoman Istanbul written by Asli Niyazioglu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dreams and Lives in Ottoman Istanbul explores biography writing and dream narratives in seventeenth-century Istanbul. It focuses on the prominent biographer ‘Aṭā’ī (d. 1637) and with his help shows how learned circles narrated dreams to assess their position in the Ottoman enterprise. This book demonstrates that dreams provided biographers not only with a means to form learned communities in a politically fragile landscape but also with a medium to debate the correct career paths and social networks in late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Istanbul. By adopting a comparative approach, this book engages with current scholarly dialogues about life-writing, dreams, and practices of remembrance in Habsburg Spain, Safavid Iran, Mughal India and Ming China. Recent studies have shown the shared rhythms between these contemporaneous dynasties and the Ottomans, and there is now a strong interest in comparative approaches to examining cultural life. This first English-language monograph on Ottoman dreamscapes addresses this interest and introduces a world where dreams changed lives, the dead appeared in broad daylight, and biographers invited their readers to the gardens of remembrance.
