A milestone of Chinese narratological studies, Chinese Narratology
is a two-volume set which establishes a unique theoretical system
of Chinese narratology by exploring the principles and
characteristics of Chinese narratives. From argument to the
conclusion, the book constitutes a forensic analysis of the context
and connotations of Chinese culture and a close reading of Chinese
literature classics, such as Romance of the Western Chamber, A
Dream of Red Mansions, Outlaws of the Marsh, Romance of The Three
Kingdoms, and The Plum in the Golden Vase. The book draws on both
Western cultural resources and scholarship on narratology to
unravel the unique features of Chinese narrative literature. It
analyzes the distinctive characteristics of Chinese narratives in
five aspects: structure, time, perspective, image, and commenter.
The first volume introduces the cultural fundamentals that nurture
Chinese narration and investigates the structure and time of
Chinese narratives, while the second volume focuses on the latter
three aspects. The set is a must-read for scholars and students
interested in narrative theory, Chinese culture and literature, and
the dialogue between Chinese and Western narratological studies.
As the first volume of a two-volume set on Chinese narratology,
this title introduces the cultural fundamentals that nurture
Chinese literary works and investigates the structure and time of
Chinese narrative. In the introductory chapter, the author examines
the intrinsic association between Chinese writers’ narrative
techniques and China’s cultural background by putting forward a
principle of duixing to facilitate the study of those techniques
and three steps to revisit Chinese narrative. Based on Western
narrative theories and a close reading of outstanding Chinese
literary classics, the volume focuses on structure and time in
Chinese narrative. The first part on structure (jiegou) identifies
five essential themes to analyze the dual dynamic structure of
Chinese narrative. In terms of aspects of time, the author
demonstrates how the holistic view of time and space in the Chinese
tradition influences the chronological framework of narratives and
shapes the outset of a story. The book is a must-read for scholars
and students interested in narrative theory, Chinese culture and
literature, and the dialogue between Chinese and Western
narratological studies.
As the second volume of a two-volume set on Chinese narratology,
this title investigates the perspective, image, and commenter that
form the characteristics of the Chinese narrative style. The first
chapter introduces two opposing concepts of perspective, the
“focalization†and “blind spot,†to connect
“perspective†with the traditional aesthetic law, highlighting
the mutual promotive relation of the non-existent and the existent.
The author believes that both the narrator and perspective are the
narrative forms and strategies adopted by Chinese writers and that
the study of the narrator and perspective is integral to
understanding the cultural, aesthetic, and philosophical
connotations of the narrative text and the spiritual world of its
writer. Drawing on perceptual phenomenology, the chapter on image
broadens the extant knowledge of “image†and points out that
image narration is unique to Chinese narratology and central to
Chinese aesthetics. The final chapter illustrating the achievements
of influential critics of classical Chinese novels proves that
these critics have contributed to the canonization of the genuine
masterpieces of Chinese narrative literature. The book is a
must-read for scholars and students interested in narrative theory,
Chinese culture and literature, and dialogue between Chinese and
Western narratological studies.

A resource-based theory study is one of the most widely accepted
theoretical perspectives in explaining competitive capabilities in
relation to capability and sustainable competitive advantage. For
example, the study tends to be designed as a conceptual framework
for explaining the conditions under which firms may achieve a
sustainable competitive advantage through capabilities which are
valuable, and non-substitutable. Accordingly, the present study
interconnects the theoretical relationship between the capabilities
and competitive advantage of the resources-physical, human, and
technology, which provide conditions under which firms may achieve
a sustainable competitive advantage from the dynamic capabilities.
The new insights suggest that firm's three dynamic competitive
capabilities are considered as complementarities when one
capability enhances the value and effect of another capability. The
primary result of this study is towards the complementarities, in
addition to individual influences of the resources, of these
capabilities, which lead to the predictions of its Customer
Relationship Management advantage that prepares and assures towards
a sustainable advantage objective.
Over two-dimensional Folded Optical Orthogonal Coding (FOOe
network, a simple threshold detection scheme is illustrated to
detect the number of simultaneous network users and to adjust the
detection threshold value instantaneously. A special wavelength
called pilot wavelength is added into the original transmission
patterns of every network user. At the receiver, we can acquire the
number of simultaneous network users from the power of the pilot
wavelength. Consequently, by adjusting the detection power
threshold to the optimum threshold value, we can decrease the bit
error rate (BER) and improve the system performance for the
discussed two- dimensional optical code-division multiple-access
(2D-OCDMA) network. Compared with conventional network system
adopting prime codes or modified prime codes, the proposed FOOC
network with pilot wavelength threshold detection shows an enhanced
BER performance and supports more simultaneous network users.
