Transforming the Sacred: The American Bible Society New Media Translation Project

The American Bible Society's New Media Translation Project provides a case study of the religious use of new communication media, in this instance video and Internet forms. More significant, the project provides a means to reflect on the intersection of audience activity (hermeneutics), textual form (semiotics), and institutional practices (means of production). The theoretical model arising from this intersection provides a tool to distinguish illustrations, performances, translations, and adaptations.

Judgments of the Carter-Reagan Debate: The Eyes of the Beholders

In line with social-psychological theory and with findings fromprior analyses of the impact of televised campaign debates,the 1980 Carter-Reagan debate seems to have been interpretedlargely in light of preexisting candidate preferences. Knowledgeof whether a viewer intended to vote for Carter or Reagan and,for undecided voters, knowledge of position on the liberal-conservativecontinuum, permit accurate predictions to be made of judgmentsof who won the debate.     

The First Person in Antislavery Literature: John Woolman,his Clothes and his Journal

In his lifetime John Woolman (1720–1772) drew attention to himself with his unusual behavior, his expressive demeanor and his clothes. He sought to become a ‘sign’ directing others toward a way of life without exploitation or slavery. After his death and the publication of his journal, he was celebrated as the most important figure in the campaign to turn the Quakers against slaveholding. Woolman's self-presentation, contemporary responses to him, and the posthumous commemoration of him provide an indication of the power and significance of personal narrative within Quakerism and in antislavery politics in Britain and America.     

“80后”眼中的“80后”——对“80”后青少年的一种质性研究

本文运用质性研究方法中的深入访谈,对19名“80后”青少年对“80后”现象的看法进行了深入研究。结果表明．与以往一些学者研究中社会媒体和家长、老师对“80后”青少年更多持负面、否定评价相比,“80后”青少年对自身评价更为积极明朗,他们对社会及一些媒体对“80后”青少年的看法表示否定。对“80后”青少年持积极肯定态度。他们对“80后”的概念进行了重新诠释。认为“80后”可以分为“85前”和“85后”。“85前”与上一代价值观念更为趋同,而“85后”更符合社会和媒体所描述的青少年特点。“80后”既有突出的优点,也存在着不容忽视的缺点;改革开放特定的时代环境造就了“80后”的一代,他们既有相对独特的个性、心理特征、生活方式,也存在着特有的精神的困惑和心理的压力。“80后”绝对不是垮掉的一代,而且时代的发展也不是一代不如一代,“80后”是有希望的一代。     

蒙尘的珍珠--评《阿拉伯女性小说百年》

谈起阿拉伯女作家,即使是阿拉伯本土的文学评论家也大多只知哈黛·萨曼、奈瓦勒·赛阿达微等,而更多的女作家及其作品犹如散落尘埃的珍珠,不为人知.甚至有人对是否存在阿拉伯女性小说也提出疑问.针对这种漠视阿拉伯女性小说的存在或将其边缘化的做法,布赛娜博士历经数年,悉心收集整理,终于完成了这部研究阿拉伯女性小说的专著--《阿拉伯女性小说百年》,涉及范围为20世纪阿拉伯世界的女作家.布赛娜以翔实丰富的资料,客观公正的态度,无可辩驳的事实纠正了阿拉伯文学评论界长期以来对阿拉伯女性小说及女作家的偏颇态度,有力地证明了阿拉伯女性小说不仅是阿拉伯文学不可分割的有机组成部分,而且女作家们也以她们独特的笔调和视角为阿拉伯文学的发展做出了突出贡献.
