East-West Cross-Cultural Encounters of the Lyric: Horace (BCE 65–8) and Tao Yuanming (CE 365–427)
Adorno described the lyric as “a philosophical sundial telling the time of history”. Here I read two poets whose continued cultural dominance make their work an ideal site for defining the privileged access of lyric to the nature of things. Horace and Tao body forth deep-rooted cultural thinking in a specific language at a specific time, but share universal concerns with the art of living well. Horace’s Odes suggest the freedom that art confers; …
Quo Vadis , Comparative Environmental Humanities
This article provides an example of the environmental humanities in action through a comparative analysis of texts describing mountains in medieval Europe and China. This case study of mountains shows how mountains have been variously associated with the sacred, fear and loathing, spiritual communion with the divine, an all-too-human mastery, or celestial transcendence. What are we to make of these conflicting sentiments across time and place? Wh…

Drawing upon psychoanalytic and queer theory, in particular Lee Edelman’s No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive (2004), it emphasises the centrality of the child to ideas of futurity and argues that the source of the tragedy in Lear and Macbeth is bound up with ambivalence about the relationship between children …
