《巴黎圣母院》的性虐色彩——透视一种文化现象

性虐活动是欧洲古往今来特有的文化现象,本文认为,这种现象在雨果的《巴黎圣母院》中时有隐现,小说中加西莫多受鞭刑和克罗德观看对爱斯梅哈尔达的拷问并自虐致伤等情节隐含着性虐色彩,这和渗透在欧洲绘画雕塑中的性虐艺术趣味相似,透现出一种苦乐相生、痛快相承的残酷痛苦之美。     

Trains,chains, blame,and elephant appeal: A case study of the public relations significance of Mary the Elephant

Using the media coverage of the hanging of Mary the Elephant, the purposes of this article are to discuss the major implications of the press agentry model of public relations, the impact of corporate decisions on the reputation of its surrounding community, and how the values related to societal issues such as animal cruelty change over time. Findings reveal that public pressure, intense police attention, and the counsel of a master press agent led the circus owner to make the decision to hang Mary and ultimately adulterate the reputation of the town of Erwin, Tennessee indefinitely.     

Scandalous Care: Interpreting Public Enquiry Reports of Scandals in Residential Care

ABSTRACT

This article reviews an earlier study written for the Wagner Committee (1988) on scandals in residential care. That review was based on a study of ten enquiry reports, only two of which were about homes for older people. The main events that were described are grouped as: institutionalised practices, indifference and neglect, physical cruelty, humiliation, too authoritarian a life-style, a dull and depressing life-style, an overcrowded and run down environment, disharmony amongst the staff team, and staff misappropriating goods or money. Now, more weight should be given to: residents' abuse of residents and of staff, an improper influence on the life-style of others, and sexual abuse. Explanations proposed are: structural, environmental, and individual and worker style. Abuse is considered in the context of the nature of direct care and the acts of intimate caring of others.     

论鲁迅的"黑色幽默"

鲁迅常以冷静从容的幽默笔法叙述一些沉重、悲惨乃至残酷的场面或事物 ,这种笔法具有现代“黑色幽默”的性质。此种黑色幽默用于正面的人或事 ,未免不够严肃或慎重 ,但另一方面也表现了鲁迅对残酷现实的愤激之情 ,显示了他“敢于直面惨淡的人生 ,敢于正视淋漓的鲜血”的勇气

风起于青萍之末:丘东平抗战小说的另类表达

丘东平的抗战小说描绘炮火纷飞的战场，但不是对前线战事的简单实录；他的抗战小说渲染豪迈的英雄主题，但不是宣传流行的政治理念；他的抗战小说塑造英雄人物，但不是为了呈现“好”与“坏”、“勇敢”与“懦弱”等二元对立的命题。他的笔触锋芒超越了文学功利层面直指战争的本质和人物在战争语境下的复杂心理，描述战争给个体生命带来的摧残和人性的变异。在当时充满政治斗争气息的抗战文学格局中，丘东平的抗战小说显得别具一格和弥足珍贵。
