IAS PROGRAM ON CHINESE CREATIVE WRITING
The Meaning of Text(s): Understanding Ming-Qing Literature and Culture
Date : 2 May 2021 (Sunday)
Time : 7:30 - 10:30 am
Venue : Online via Zoom

Overview

A text can be a poem, a novel, a painting, a chair, or a garden. When does the reading of a text begin, and where does it cease? In this digital age, does “mining” of texts reveal reading possibilities that are otherwise hidden? Bringing in texts of various kinds from late imperial China, this conference hopes to form an interdisciplinary discussion on recent discoveries of new texts, rereadings of canonical texts, expanded concept of texts, and on renewed approaches in exploring the meaning of text(s).
