Location:Tencent conference (ID: 429376720)

In 1943, Mao Zedong’s "Speech at Yan ‘an Forum on Literature and Art" was published, which was the starting point. As a writer with the highest achievements in "People’s Literature" and socialist realism writing in the 1940s and 1970s, Liu Qing’s mature creation began in 1943. Liu Qing’s "The Story of a Kind of Valley" can be regarded as a masterpiece in the process of transforming from the realism of "modern literary form" to the realism of "contemporary literary form". At the same time, it is also a work that is particularly suitable for analysis from the perspective of social history. The lecture attempts to analyze the special creative experience from the perspective of "social history" and the historical understanding value contained in the works.

As one of the representative works of Italian humanist thinker Lorenzo Valla in the 15th century, The Gift of Constantine has been recorded in history because it successfully exposed the most notorious lies in the history of Christianity for the first time by means of philology. Based on the translation and introduction of this document, this lecture not only analyzes a series of strategies adopted in philology, rhetoric, logic and law to distinguish falsifications, thus expounding its "technical" innovation in the field of historical textual research, but also focuses on the author Vala’s religious concept beyond his political position and his thoughts on "freedom", "truth" and "belief".

Slavic literature as a world literary form
Time:March 26th (Saturday) 18:00-21:00
Location:Tencent conference (ID: 740978090, password: 8178)
Speaker:Tian Hongmin (Professor of Comparative Literature and World Literature and Doctoral Supervisor, Shanghai Normal University)
Slavic philology has always regarded the construction of a new concept of "world literature" as its own responsibility and put it into practice as a "literary theory" and a "literary event" from its emergence until today in the 21st century. Obviously, this is quite different from the understanding of philology in other European and American countries. Specifically, the occurrence and development of Slavic Literature intensified into formalism which began in the 1910s and ended with Lautemann’s death in 1993. Since then, the theory of decline or "prosperity" of literary theory can only be investigated in the form of Slavic Literature from (Central) Eastern Europe to Russia in the literary sense.

Painting of Han Empire
Time:March 26th (Saturday) 19:30.
Location:Wind Live, Bili Bili Advanced Research Institute of Art and Humanities
Speaker:Miao Zhe (Professor, School of Art and Archaeology, Zhejiang University)
The germination of China’s painting appeared in the 6th century BC, that is, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At the turn of the Han Dynasty, around the 1st century A.D., it replaced graphic design and became the primary type of two-dimensional art in China. After more than 100 years, that is, in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, the basic techniques of reappearing painting, such as the presentation techniques of volume and space, were invented, thus ending the classical era of China’s painting. Then, what is the relationship between the birth and establishment of painting in the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties and the social change, knowledge production and symbol system in this period? At the turn of the Han Dynasty, that is, the "axis moment" when the painting tradition was established, how did the etiquette and ideology of the Han Empire "transform" into painting and further promote the birth of the painting tradition? On March 26th, the Institute of Advanced Studies in Arts and Humanities of China Academy of Art will hold the second high-end lecture on art and humanities this year, and Mr. Miao Zhe, a professor from the School of Art and Archaeology of Zhejiang University and the author of "From Lingguang Hall to Wuliangci: The Legacy of Imperial Art in the Han Dynasty", will be invited to give a report on "Painting of the Han Empire".

Kant’s philosophy in Husserl’s eyes
Time:March 27th (Sunday) 19:00-21:30.
Location:Tencent Conference (ID: 35687824693), Bili Bili Renaissance and Modern Philosophy
Speaker:Li Yunfei (Professor, School of Marxism, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies)
Husserl viewed Kant’s philosophy from the perspective of teleology-history. With this perspective, Husserl’s Kant’s philosophy was woven into the unified process of modern philosophy development and considered. Therefore, Husserl’s criticism of Kant’s philosophy is essentially a systematic reflection on the unified process of the development of modern philosophy from the perspective of Kant’s philosophy. The significance of Husserl’s critique of Kant’s philosophy lies in: 1) It reveals the unity of meaning of teleology in modern philosophy and deepens the understanding of phenomenology itself; 2) It clarifies Kant’s scientific style and reveals the universal significance of all previous philosophies. 3) It clarifies the deepest intention of Kant’s philosophy and its theoretical dilemma, puts philosophy in front of the final turning point and ruling, and clarifies the purpose of the development of modern philosophy: phenomenology is the secret vision of the whole modern philosophy.
