Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Re-imagining Encounters: When Eileen Chang “Met” Stella Benson(2023-05-29) Huang, NicoleThis keynote address presents Hong Kong as a strategic site to re-examine colonial "encounters," to contribute to a collective "re-imagining of a new set of social relationships grounded in decoloniality, anti-racism, justice, and preservation of the earth." Nicole Huang, Professor of Comparative Literature of the University of Hong Kong, speaks as a comparatist who recently left North American academia, relocated to the oldest tertiary institution in a former British colony, and has been working on a project that would require in-depth research into Hong Kong’s colonial past. The key figure in her presentation is the canonical Chinese writer Eileen Chang (1920-1995), who began her literary journey as a college student at HKU in 1939-1941, majoring in English and History.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Divergence / Difference: Divergent or Merely Different?(Canadian Comparative Literature Association, 2022-06-21) Saussy, HaunFrom the discussion of “difference” and “divergence” in both English and French languages, to the historical semantics of “divergence” and “convergence” in the knowledge optics, evolution theory, politics and Comparative Literature, Saussy provides an overview of the subtle differences between “difference” and “divergence.” He suggests that the meaning of divergence is less history than story, less the report on how things actually were than an effect of our mental limitations.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Poetry Workshop with Kendel Hippolyte, moderated by Doris Hambuch(2021-05-14) Hippolyte, KendelItem type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Native Alienz(2013-06-02) Chung, HilaryItem type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Roundtable: CCLA Today and Tomorrow(2014-05-25) Ingram, Susan and Lai-tze FanItem type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Passages of Community in Chinese Canadian Writing(2016-05-28) Lee, ChristopherItem type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Art and Ideology in China’s Postsocialist Stage Productions of Ibsen’s Plays(2017-05-28) Tam, Kwok-kanItem type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Ethics Before Comparison(2019-06-03) Palumbo-Liu, David
