出处: A Cognitive Poetic Perspective on Mapping: Metaphor, Symbol, and Allegory
简 介:This book sets out to integrate the mapping theory of different approaches in cognitive linguistics, delineate the traditionally muddling terms of metaphor, symbol and allegory in literature and apply them to the interpretation of, the first great American Novel. The major findings include: 1. The study builds a cognitive model for literary interpretation on the base of cognitive linguistics and literary criticism. This model relies on the mapping of metaphors, symbols and allegories and integrates the power relationship that literary criticism provides. This model bridges cognitive linguistics and literary studies, takes text, reader, author, and social context into consideration and presents an inclusive cognitive poetic model to explain the process of meaning construction for literary works by takinginterpretation as an example.

出处: A Cognitive Poetic Perspective on Mapping: Metaphor, Symbol, and Allegory
简 介:Queer Theory is a newly arisen approach in literary criticism which is derived from post-structuralism and deconstructionism. Under the influence of Michel Foucault, Queer theorists challenge the legitimacy and orthodox of heterosexual discourse, and focus on gay and lesbian sexualities and sexual practices. Queer critics make efforts to search for textual evidence and cues, such as homoerotic imagery, erotic encounters between same-sex characters, homoerotic atmosphere etc. to establish a gay literary tradition and to decide what writers and works belong to that tradition. Queer critics also examine how gay sensibility affects literary expression and study the ways in which heterosexual texts can have a homoerotic dimension (Tyson 2006: 332). Melville’s sexuality is as contentious as the meaning of his work. Two of his biography writers L. Robertson-Lorant (1996) and Parker (1996–2002) jar with each other when they try to locate Melville’s sexuality. Robertson-Lorant holds that Melville is at least bisexual if not homosexual. She not only points out all the passages in the novels, essays, and letters that has homosexual tendencies but endorses more conclusions about homoeroticism in, male prostitution in, and homosexual rape in. David Van Leer Parker, on the other hand, draws a different picture on account of Melville’s sexuality. His Melville is not only resolutely heterosexual but a symbol of American sexism.

出处: A Cognitive Poetic Perspective on Mapping: Metaphor, Symbol, and Allegory
简 介:Last chapter mainly deals with the relationship between human and nature. This chapter attempts to explain the relationships between human beings inthrough metaphors, symbols and allegories. Pequod is a society of varieties. People of miscellaneous races and social status including Native Americans, African Americans, Polynesians, and even South Sea Islanders are depicted in the novel. Therefore, it is safe to say thatpreeminently describes a shipboard of microcosm, and Pequod’s crew foretells the global village of today’s world. Last century witnessed the rise of Marxism, African American criticism and Postcolonial criticism, which have drawn the concern over the relationship between human beings. Marxism seeks to analyze the inequality between the haves and the have-nots from the economic perspective; African American criticism concerns the racial oppressions, especially over the African Americans. A more recent development of this approach is addressed as critical race theory extending the field into the coverage of other colored races’ oppression. Postcolonialism demonstrates the heterogeneity of colonized places by analyzing the uneven impact of Western colonialism on different places, peoples, and cultures (Sharp 2008). Generally speaking, these approaches point to the problem of social inequality between variously labeled human beings. (Gender issue is saved for next chapter to be discussed).

出处: A Cognitive Poetic Perspective on Mapping: Metaphor, Symbol, and Allegory
简 介:This chapter serves to investigate how metaphors, symbols, and allegories help to construct an ecocritical interpretation of, and what role mapping as a crucial cognitive structure plays in the due process. Ecocriticism, or “green” criticism, is one of the most recent interdisciplinary fields that have emerged in literary and cultural studies. It investigates the human-nature relationship encoded in literary texts. Just as Hessie states, “ecocriticism analyzes the role that the natural environment plays in the imagination of a cultural community at a specific historical moment, examining how the concept of ‘nature’ is defined, what values are assigned to it or denied it and why, and the way in which the relationship between human and nature is envisioned” (Hessie 1993: 12-13). Nature permeates in. It is perhaps the greatest book on nature ever written (Love 2003: 13). The book itself can be viewed as an exploration of the relationship between man and nature. The word “nature” itself appears more than forty-four times in the novel (Shultz 2000). The descriptions of sea, air, cloud, and the sun etc. are abundant; birds, sharks, and many other animals are also frequently referred to. Those are what the sailors can only see most of the time.

Three Mapping and Literary Interpretation 收藏

出处: A Cognitive Poetic Perspective on Mapping: Metaphor, Symbol, and Allegory
简 介:A masterpiece usually invites infinite interpretations which sometimes are totally different from each other. A case in point is(or), different readers will read different themes, as Lu Xun comments, there have been many kinds of sayings on the what the novel are about: The traditionalists finds the Yi (as in) in it; moralists finds obscenity, gifted scholar finds intimate affection; revolutionaries finds the rebellion against Mantsu reign.The same is true with. Every age will have its own understandings on the meanings and themes. Melville scholars even present opposite opinions on the same theme they read. These meanings constructed by literary critics may well differ dramatically but all of them are still justifiable. Especially in the postmodern age, no one correct fixed meaning is waiting to be discovered in a text. Its meaning is to be found in the interaction of the reader with the text. Provided that we support a comment by referring to the text, it is considered valid, no matter what the writer’s intention may have been (Hesse and Lawton 1993: 12-13). The author’s intention most of the time cannot be testified. However, the text and the reader are always there. As Eagleton claims (2003) that this is an after theories’ age, and the author is dead. They no longer have authority over the interpretations of their works. Meaning lies both in the text and in the reader’s mind.
