Comparative Cultural Representational Study on the Reciprocity of the Spirit and the Body in English Literature

这个项目的目的是探索从中世纪晚期到本世纪英国文学中身体和精神的表征的话语和概念是如何形成和转化的，并着眼于特定的作家和他们的作品，我们分析了心灵和身体的以下各个方面：他们的意象，他们的相互关系，他们的谱系，他们的目的地，以及他们的文化品质。首先，基于莎士比亚的身体意识，我们探讨了英国文艺复兴时期身体和精神之间的关系。通过肯定笛卡尔二分法对欧洲话语的影响，并通过引入表演的概念，我们逐渐认识到东方身体和西方精神之间的相似之处。尽管融合东方物质和西方精神的难度很大，但我们注意到，在瞬息万变的现代社会中，东方的心身关系日益增多，由于其多元文化的交流，“文化品质”不得不发生转变。对于心身关系及其表征之间的差异问题，人们不得不从不同的流派来考察每一个例子，但作为一个整体，人们可以说，各种文化的卷积可能会产生对心身关系的新表征。因此，在分析各种文化表征时，那些背景与研究对象不同的研究者可能会产生新的心身关系表征。因此，在分析各种文化表征时，那些背景与研究对象不同的研究者可能会因为这种差异而产生新的观点。莎士比亚创作戏剧的时期正是这样一个文化革命时期，这一事实可能印证了文化融合的重要性。

The purpose of this project to explore how the discourse and concept of 'representations of the physical and the mental ' have been formed and transformed in the English literature from the late Medieval to this century, and, with a view to the specific writers and their writings, we analyzed the following various aspects of both the mind and the body : their imagery, their interrelations, their genealogy, their destinations, and their cultural qualities. To begin with, based on the Shakespearean sense of the body, we explored the relations between the physical and the mental in the English Renaissance. By confirming the influences of the Cartesian dichotomy on European discourses, and by introducing the concept of performance, we came to acknowledge similarities between the eastern physically and the western spirituality. Despite the difficulties of fusing the eastern physically and the western spirituality, we came to notice the increasing to the eastern mind-body relations in the ever-changing modern society in which the "cultural qualities" have to shift because of its multi-cultural exchanges. For the problems of discrepancies between the mind-body relations and their representaions, one has to survey each example in such various genres, but as a whole one may say that the convolution of various cultures may produce new representations of the mind-body relations. Therefore, in analyzing various cultural representations, those researchers with a background different from that of the research subject, may produce new representations of the mind-body relations. Therefore, in analyzing various cultural representations, those researchers with a background different from that of the research subject, may produce a fresh viewpoint because of the difference. The importance of mixing cultures may be confirmed by the fact that the very period in which Shakespeare wrote his plays was no other than such a culturally revolutionary period.
