Late Imperial China Pub Date : 2021-06-26
Thomas Kelly

Abstract:

This essay investigatesliterary approaches to objectsin the wake of dynastic transitionby examining Zhang Dai’s (1597–1684) inscriptions on his family’spossessions. Zhang exploits the formal conventions of inscription (ming) praise” and “admonition” reconcile the imperatives of remembrance with pointed moral judgments, working to redeem Ming practices of connoisseurship, while assessing their imbrication in the destruction of inter-dynastic war. In doing so, he reimagines the literary conceit of “friendship” with things. Late Ming collectors had personified objects as “friends” to model an empathetic understanding for, or eccentric obsession with their belongings. Zhang Dai reconsiderstheimplications of this postureamid the ruins of the fallen dynasty, casting the objectas a witness to historical trauma, one that observes and critiques the failings of itshuman custodians.

残物铭文:张岱《二十八友》

摘要:

本文通过考察张岱(1597-1684)在其家族财产上的铭文,探讨了朝代变迁后的文学方法。张利用题记(明)赞”和“告诫”的正式惯例将纪念的必要性与尖锐的道德判断相协调,努力挽救明朝的鉴赏实践,同时评估它们在王朝间战争的破坏中的覆盖。在此过程中,他重新构想了与事物“友谊”的文学自负。晚明收藏家将物品拟人化为“朋友”,以表达对物品的同情理解或对物品的古怪痴迷。张岱在衰败王朝的废墟中重新思考这种姿势的含义,将物品作为历史创伤的见证,观察和批判其人类监护人的失败。
