论明末清初才子佳人小说中的主人公诗词

明末清初的才子佳人小说一个突出的特点就是出现了大量的主人公诗词，诗词中继承了许多传统的诗歌意象、典故和旧题。同时，这些诗词又反映了文人渴望爱情、追求功名、显扬才学、不满现实的心理情绪，是那个时代背景下人们共有的情感体验，引起了读者的共鸣，也是对传统诗词的创新应用。主人公诗词是此类小说兴盛的一大促因，小说借助诗词而取得成功。     

唐诗中的长安文化符号及其意蕴之美

唐代都城长安是唐精神文化的集中体现和高度浓缩,是盛世文化体系的典型代表,是华夏文明的历史见证。辉煌灿烂的唐诗为我们提供了鲜活的样本,成为人们对长安以及唐朝的美好记忆,成为千百年来唐长安标志性的文化符号。从今人非常熟悉的唐诗入手,打开记忆之门,重新体验长安的浪漫意象,体会长安的山水景观之美、生命体验之美、帝都壮阔之美、相思回忆之美以及隐逸之美等多种意象,来感知古长安的诗意氛围,感知唐长安文化的精神特质。从而更好地把握中华民族文化之根,弘扬华夏民族精神。     

言情小说,还是言钱小说?——论对张恨水小说文本的误读

金钱是张恨水小说文本用以结构故事、推进叙事、塑造人物和表达思想的主要手段。在主要关注民族与革命等宏大思想问题的中国现代社会环境中,张恨水以金钱为核心话语的小说文本触及了人的物质层面的存在意义,在一定程度上弥补了中国现代思想追求的某种缺失。这应该是张恨水小说创作最重要的价值和意义,但是,学界对张恨水作为言情小说大师的定位和误导却妨碍了对其创作的全面认识和评价,遮蔽了其真正的价值和意义。     

霍桑对尖角阁的社会历史演绎

Romance and the Female Gaze Obscuring Gendered Violence in The Twilight Saga

This article examines the violence inherent in the popular Young Adult Fiction series The Twilight Saga, considers how this violence can be re-coded as reassuring through the use of romance genre conventions, and further extends this analysis by applying the concept of the female gaze to the series. The article initially examines the gendered violence within The Twilight Saga, considering both the physical violence that occurs, as well as the mental and emotional violence, using Evan Stark's notion of coercive control. The series is then considered as conforming to the romance genre, using the work of Tania Modleski and Janice Radway, discovering how instances of violence can be re-coded as reassuring. This analysis is then further extended by introducing the concept of the female gaze, and considering how a female gaze might impact the way the potentially anxiety-inducing male body can be read as desirable, and how culturally determined understandings of what constitutes the desirable male body are evolving.     

“I Dumped My Husband For a Turkish Toyboy”

In this article, we analyse how British tabloid newspapers represent relationships between mature British women and the younger Turkish toyboy lovers they meet (and sometimes look for) on their holiday; a practice that is often considered as the female counterpart to male sex tourism, albeit labelled differently as “romance tourism.” Employing a combination of thematic, lexical, narrative, and visual analysis, we examine how the British tabloids make sense of the contradicting social categories and power relations at play in these encounters, in particular with respect to age, gender, nation, and economic position. We consider these contradictions as typical for the intersectionality of gender identities, and use the tabloid stories about romance tourism as a means to study how such intersectionality becomes manifest in everyday practices. We find that the tabloids construct only one dimension of identity as key to women's lives, that is the one of motherhood and more abstractly of caring for others. In addition, they present women as highly vulnerable to exploitation by foreign, exotic others, who are portrayed either as evil con men or—in the sporadic upbeat, happy-ending story we found—as dependent and passive objects of women's desires.     

‘Walking out’: the mobilities of love

ABSTRACT

In this article, I propose that mobility performs a crucial role in the production and sustenance of intimate relationships and focus, in particular, on courtship practices and their modern-day equivalents. I pursue this discussion through close readings of literary and autobiographical texts from the nineteenth century through to the millennium, and by means of a framework that triangulates the work of Tim Ingold, David Seamon and Henri Bergson. My focus here is on how the mobilities we practice during the everyday routines of courtship – i.e. the paths we make, the routes we take, the roads we travel, the journeys we repeat, the transport we use – come to characterise the relationship concerned and impact upon its progress. Both Ingold’s work on ‘lines’ and Seamon’s on ‘place-ballet’ are conceptually suggestive in this regard and speak to recent work in mobilities/cultural geography on the significance of patterns of movement in the praxis of relationships.     

Family Structure History and Adolescent Romance

This study examined the association between family structure history and adolescent romance. Using a national sample drawn from Add Health (N= 13,570), family structure at Wave I was associated with the likelihood that adolescents were involved in a romantic relationship at Wave II and, among those in a relationship, the number of relationships they had since Wave I. Cumulative family instability and its timing were also associated with these outcomes and largely drove the family structure effects. Gender and age interactions suggest that experiences of family instability were more consequential to the romantic lives of boys and younger teens.
