講題一：「把我包括在外」： 張愛玲作為世界作家
Topic #1: “Include Me Out”: Reading Eileen Chang as a World Literature Author
摘要：張愛玲早年曾熱切走向世界，對成為文化中介充滿嚮往，並表示出名要趁早。然而其在晚年卻離群獨居，希望把自己「包括在外」。我們可以如何理解其於中國現代文學的「超經典」地位與其於世界文學版圖的朦朧位置?本講以「世界作家」的概念重探「文化譯介者」張愛玲的個案，以期為張愛玲研究以至華語語系文學研究帶來新方向。
Eileen Chang was enthusiastic to go into the world and to become a cultural mediator in her early years, expressing that it is important to get famous early. However, she led a reclusive life in her old age and would like to be included out. How do we understand her “hypercanonicity” in modern Chinese literature and her obscurity in world literature? This talk re-examines the case of Chang as a cultural translator and mediator with the notion of “world literature,” in order to open new discussion for the study of Eileen Chang and Sinophone literature.

講題二：「中額」作家張愛玲與《天地》雜誌（1943-1945）
Topic #2: The Heaven and Earth of a Middlebrow Writer: Eileen Chang and Tian Di magazine (1943-1945)
摘要：由蘇青主辦的《天地》雜誌在淪陷區的特殊環境下接通「天地」，以衣食住行、婚姻育兒、懷舊新知的內容，接上汪偽政權的頭號人物與權力論述，帶出政治與小市民之間不可分割的關係。張愛玲把這一重關係推演得極為深刻，重讀張氏於《天地》發表的作品，以及雜誌所創造的「中額」（middlebrow）定位，實有助理解與重估一向被視為保守、通俗與瑣碎的「中額文學」之政治意義。
Tian Di (Heaven and Earth) magazine was established by Su Qing during the occupied era of Shanghai. Su made an impact on the literary scene with earthly everyday trivialities and women issues including sex, marriage, and work, to heavenly issues such as ethics, morals, and politics. Eileen Chang made a unique contribution to the magazine as well as the middlebrow culture it represents. Rereading Chang’s work and Tian Di help redefining the middlebrow at its best an excellent vehicle for an artistic critique of social and political life from a woman’s perspective.
