Gwee Li Sui (Chinese: 魏俐瑞, born 22 August 1970) is a literary critic, a poet, and a graphic artist from Singapore. == Biography == Gwee began education at the now-defunct MacRitchie Primary School and then continued at Anglo-Chinese Secondary School, Anglo-Chinese Junior College, and the National University of Singapore. He graduated with a First-Class Honours degree in English literature in 1995 and was awarded the NUS Society Gold Medal for Best Student in English. His Honours thesis was on Günter Grass's novel, ''The Tin Drum'' (German: ''Die Blechtrommel''). After completing his Masters under a research scholarship on another German writer Hermann Broch, he worked as a Senior Tutor at the NUS Department of English Language and Literature. In 1999, he was given an overseas scholarship to pursue his doctorate in eighteenth-century literature at Queen Mary, University of London. Gwee wrote his doctoral thesis on the discursive influence of Newtonianism on poetry from the English Enlightenment to early German Romanticism. Returning to lecture at NUS in 2003, Gwee worked as an assistant professor in English literature until 2009. During this time, he was a long-standing advisor to the NUS Literary Society, which has traditionally groomed some of Singapore's best-known writers. Academic topics Gwee has written on include the Reformation, the Enlightenment, Romanticism, German idealism, history of science, Christian theology, German literature, and literary theory. In the field of Singaporean literature, Gwee has been writing radical articles on its poetic history up to the present and consistently challenged standard assumptions made about literary productions in Singapore. In 2010, he was invited to be a foreign writer- and critic-in-residence at the Toji Cultural Centre in South Korea.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nac.gov.sg/grants-initiatives/training/international-artist-residency-programme/toji-cultural-centre-residency-for-writers-2012 )〕 Gwee has since been teaching at various institutions and universities. A popular literary speaker at schools and festivals, he has overseen young writers in the Writers' Programme at Raffles Institution. He is sought for his opinions on literature, language, and religion and has been on the evaluation panel for several top literary awards in Singapore, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. He has edited for an online poetry journal, ''Softblow'', and the now-defunct commentary website, ''New Asia Republic''. Between 2008 and 2011, he hosted public interviews with Singaporean cultural figures at an independent bookstore, BooksActually. From 2013, he begins "Sing Lit 101", a lecture series for the public, at The Arts House. Gwee served as one of the English Poetry judges for the Singapore Literature Prize in 2014, when poet Grace Chia, whose poetry collection ''Cordelia'' was shortlisted, accused the Prize of sexism. Gwee responded by saying, "All entries have an equal chance of consideration for winning, and we discussed it based on that point alone, and on the strengths of the collections." The other poetry judges were prominent female poet Leong Liew Geok and poet Boey Kim Cheng. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gwee Li Sui」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
