以荒诞派和庄子哲学为思想底蕴,残雪的小说通过地狱与天堂两个时空的对比凸显了自我拯救的主题意识,同时,作者又采用变形与消解等方式赋予小说以形式的意义,由此构建了一座关于启悟的智慧迷宫.     

处常子《续本事诗》辑考

处常子《续本事诗》是五代时期吴国出现的一部诗话体小说,为续补唐代孟启的《本事诗》而作。《续本事诗》全书已亡,但通过辑出的17条佚文,可以一窥该书的面貌。相对《本事诗》来说,《续本事诗》更加依赖于从较早书籍选取诗话材料。从《本事诗》到《续本事诗》,再到《续广本事诗》和《唐宋分门名贤诗话》、《诗话总龟》,唐五代的诗话体小说完成了向宋代诗话丛编的转变。     

神象递嬗视角下的汉族神话及其蕴含的文化因子——兼与希腊神话比较

神象"三像"(兽形神、人兽神与人形神)的递嬗与人类自我意识"三我"("无我"、"混我"与"准我")的演进密切关联,以这一关联为视角对汉族神话进行观照,发现汉族神话具有两个突出的特征:其一,兽形神、人兽神充分发展,而人形神则呈"缺席"状态。其二,神象的覆灭表现为"形灭神存"的奇特形式。这两个特征孕含着汉民族相应的两大文化因子:"主客合一"与"阴阳理性"。

On ‘telling better stories’*

Over the course of his forty-year career, Lawrence Grossberg has modelled a form of rigorous, politically-engaged, radically contextual social research. Writing about Cultural Studies in the abstract, he has often characterized this work as, principally, about ‘telling better stories,’ and he attempts to tell them in his work on the contemporary conjuncture through analyses of political struggles in the United States. However, in a moment where calls for and claims of ‘better’ cultural stories abound on both the Left and the Right, what exactly does it mean for Cultural Studies to tell them better? I suggest we can locate attempts to grapple with Cultural Studies’ ‘better stories’ problem in the space between Grossberg’s conjunctural work and his work on the identity and future of Cultural Studies. Highlighting these efforts, I clarify what it means for Cultural Studies to assume the responsibility of telling better stories given the specific contours of the present context.     

Working with Stories: Street-Level Bureaucrats and Their Work with Individuals with Psychiatric Disability Exposed to Interpersonal Violence

ABSTRACT

The focus of our attention is the meeting between street-level bureaucrats and individuals with psychiatric disability exposed to interpersonal violence. Based on 11 interviews, we illustrate how stories are understood, used, and made meaningful to the street-level bureaucrat. The contribution of this article is first of all that of being a framework, from a storytelling point of view, for the work and organizational experiences of street-level bureaucrats. Second, by paying attention to the story part of these relationships, we can better understand the situation of individuals with psychiatric disability exposed to interpersonal violence given their interaction with different street-level bureaucrats.
