| 27 | WANG Yue, Kyoto University 王悦, 日本京都大學  |
王悅（Yue WANG），日本京都大學綜合生存學館（思修館）博士候選人。其研究致力於構建傳統佛教心理學（尤以唯識學爲中心）與現代認知科學（如正念干預訓練、冥想機制）之間的深度對話。王悅擅長通過漢譯與藏文平行文獻進行跨語言的語義分析，目前專注於唯識學派“心心所法”（citta-cetasika）的結構建模，旨在從理論結構上重新闡釋“念”（smṛti）在古典文獻與現代正念干預訓練（MBIs）及正念冥想中的運行機制差異。其研究曾獲得京都大學“武者修行”海外調查項目資助，並曾作爲訪問研究員在尼泊爾 Rangjung Yeshe Institute 佛教研究中心開展長期的文獻實地考察與學術交流。
Yue WANG is a PhD candidate at the Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability (GSAIS), Kyoto University. Her research focuses on fostering a dialogue between traditional Buddhist psychology—specifically the Yogācāra traditions—and modern cognitive science, including Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) and the mechanisms of meditation. Specializing in cross-linguistic semantic analysis of Chinese and Tibetan parallel texts, she is currently developing structural models of “mind and mental factors” (citta-cetasika). Her work seeks to re-elucidate the diverging operational mechanisms of smṛti as it transitions from classical canonical contexts to modern MBIs and mindfulness meditation practices. Her research is supported by Kyoto University’s “Musha-shugyo” grant for overseas fieldwork, which enabled her long-term residency as an Affiliated Researcher at the Rangjung Yeshe Institute’s Center for Buddhist Studies in Nepal. |

ZHANG Rui holds a PhD in Chinese Studies from Institut national des Langues et Civilisation orientales (NALCO ; 2022). She is currently a lecturer in Chinese at Université Lumière Lyon 2 and a researcher at the Institut d’Asie orientale (IAO). Her field of research is classical Chinese literature, with a primary focus on poetry and literati culture in early medieval China. She is particularly interested in writing practices, textual transmission, literati sociability, and landscape writing. Grounded in philology while also engaging with literary and cultural history, her research further addresses translation, textual mediation, and the formation of canons, examining how texts are reinterpreted and transformed as they circulate across linguistic and cultural contexts. From 2022 to 2024, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Collège de France and the Bibliothèque nationale de France, where she worked on a rare corpus of visual and textual materials, including Ming- and Qing-period prints and rubbings, as well as Buddhist scriptures and apocryphal texts. This work involved not only the organization of materials and philological analysis, but also the study of their circulation and reinterpretation across different linguistic, medial, and cultural settings. She subsequently served as a temporary lecturer and researcher (ATER) at the École normale supérieure de Lyon (2024-2025), and has also taught at INALCO and Université Paris Cité. She has published several articles on early medieval Chinese poetry, literati culture, and writing practices. 張蕊，法國國立東方語言文化學院博士（2022），現任里昂第二大學中文專任講師，並為法國東亞學院研究員。其研究領域為中國古典文學，主要聚焦中古時期的詩歌與士人文化，尤重書寫實踐、文本傳承、士人交遊與山水書寫。其研究方法以文獻學為基礎，兼顧文學史與文化史視角，並關注翻譯、文獻中介與經典生成等問題，探討文本如何在跨語言與跨文化的流動中被重新理解與轉化。 2022至2024年間，張蕊曾於法蘭西公學院與法國國家圖書館從事博士後研究，圍繞一批珍稀圖像與文獻材料展開考察，所涉範圍包括明清時期版畫、拓片，以及佛經與疑偽經。相關工作不僅涉及材料整理與文獻辨析，也觸及其在不同語言、媒介與文化脈絡中的流轉與再詮釋。此後，她曾於里昂高等師範學校擔任臨時助理教授與研究人員（2024–2025），亦曾任教於國立東方語言文化學院與巴黎西岱大學。已發表多篇關於中國中古詩歌、士人文化與書寫實踐的研究論文。 |
