In this week's episode, we will talk about the presence of Shijing poetry during the Warring States. A substantial number of Warring States and Western Han texts related to the Shijing have come to light in recent years, including philosophical treatises containing Shijing quotations, Shijing poems in historical anecdotes, and several partial or even full versions of the anthology itself. Professor Martin Kern will help us to explore how it was transmitted, how it was used and understood, and how its different interpretations shaped the written text in particular ways. He was invited by the New Asia College and the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of CUHK and Hong Kong Public Libraries to give a talk entitled “The Shijing in the Warring States: Evidence from Newly Discovered Manuscripts.”
In this week's episode, we will talk about how museum websites use their affordances to engage the younger generations in different educational activities. Professor Marina Bondi from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy will present to us how special attention is paid to the pathways designed to guide visitors in their understanding and to textualizing processes favouring audience engagement and construction, with a view to the challenges and opportunities of digital communication. Professor Bondi was invited by the Digital Society Research Cluster of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the Department of English at the City University of Hong Kong to give a talk entitled “Museum discourse: Websites for Future Citizens”.
