SUMMARY:Retroactive Jokes: Kafka's Literary Laughter
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Alfie Bown – Hang Seng Management College (https://mst.hsu.edu.hk/en/) \nAbstract\nThis paper discusses the relationship between literature and laughter\, focusing not so much on representations of laughter nor on the role of laughter in literature\, but on whether there may be a literary quality to laughter itself. Using examples from Kafka’s letters to his fiancé Felice Bauer\, the paper explores the retroactive power of laughter to transform its own past and present. This retroactive power that laughter has troubles the assumption that laughter is merely an effect and upsets the temporal relationship between laughter and the things we laugh at. In suggests a unique connection between laughter and literature on this basis. \n ||  \nBiography

SUMMARY:When I find myself\, what did I find\, and who did the finding?
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Emeritus Eugene Eoyang – Indiana University Bloomington/Lingnan University (https://comparativeliterature.indiana.edu/people/eoyang.shtml) \nAbstract\nThe study of the self has prompted many publications in the West in the last generation\, but few studies examine the contrasting notions of the self in Asia and the West.  In the West\, the development of the self is regarded as essential to psychological growth and to spiritual health; in the East\, however\, the annihilation of the self is recommended as the ideal of sagacity and wisdom.  In an attempt to make sense of conflicting notions of the self\, we develop a schema\, a declension of the self\, into first-\, second-\, and third-person perspectives\, and we distinguish between the subjective self\, which sees the world through a dominant consciousness\, and the objective self\, which regards itself merely as part of all phenomena. Rousseau's Confessions and Wordsworth's The Prelude\, for example\, of first-person subjective autobiographies; Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography and Lord Chesterfield's Letters are examples of Second-person subjective self-portraits; while Henry Adams's The Education of Henry Adams would represent Third-person subjective depictions of the self.  Asian self-portraits\, like traditional Chinese poetry\, or Sei Shonagon and Murasaki Shikibu's Diaries\, tend to be first-person objective self-portraits.   In the analysis\, one hopes to establish a neutral basis on which to compare Eastern and Western notions of self. \n ||  \nBiography\nEugene Chen EOYANG is Professor Emeritus of English\, Translation\, Humanities\, and General Education at Lingnan University in Hong Kong as well as Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature and of East Asian Languages & Cultures at Indiana University in the U.
