It aims to investigate what is said in their poems\, how it is said and why. It is also devoted to examining how these poems interact with and re construct existing institutions and transform norms. It explores how new k nowledge is generated when a text is read against its counterparts from a different social and cultural context by today’s readers with our stereoty pes and biases.\n The comparison based on everydayness neither implies an o ntological historical realism nor aims to reinforce the boundaries of soci al and cultural narratives of the two geographical regions. Rather\, it ch allenges ethnocentric readings of cultural products and strives to acknowl edge how alterity in any seemingly homogeneous communities paradoxically r eveals commonalities of human experiences and conditions. In the process\, we hope to discover the unknown and question existing boundaries when we acknowledge everydayness as the core of humanity.\n\n \n DTSTART:20211105T203000Z DTEND:20211105T230000Z SUMMARY:Hsiang Lecturer Series on Chinese Poetry Nov 5 URL:/eas/channels/event/hsiang-lecturer-series-chinese -poetry-nov-5-334346 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
