This international conference examines the critical role of media in the making and remaking of Ming-Qing literature. Invited scholars will bring to light the supports and surfaces that shaped sensory experiences of the “literary.” Some panels will trace the lives of literary works from the oral to the analog to the digital; others will consider how early modern readers understood what we now call “media.” Over the course of two days, the conference proceeds from the early modern moment to rethink 21st-century understandings of “new” media.
重塑媒介：明清文學的新視角
「重塑媒介」國際會議以「媒介」為視角解讀明清文學。會議旨在將「媒介」這一概念引入明清文學的研究中，探求「媒介」對明清文學的重塑，並考察明清視角對於21世紀「媒介」概念的反思與挑戰。與會學者致力於闡釋不同載體，形制對文學及文本體驗的影響，由此發掘「媒介」於早期現代歷史中的新意涵。
