沃克小说中“缝制百纳被”的文化隐喻与美国非裔女性文化

缝制百纳被虽是黑人女性日常生活中从事的一项普通的家庭手工艺活动,却是代表非裔女性文化与民族身份的一个文化隐喻,展现了其优秀的民俗文化,审美情趣和核心价值观。本文将创造性地借用Martin Gannon在2001年提出的文化隐喻理论框架,深入剖析沃克小说中“缝制百纳被”的文化内涵,并进而揭示它所隐喻的美国非裔女性无穷的创造力和深厚的姐妹情谊。     

Disabled people,choices and collective organisation: examining the potential of cooperatives in future social support

Major shifts in funding, demography, personal expectations and the rise of a global disabled people’s movement require new and creative solutions to the choices and rights agenda into the twenty-first century. Direct payments and the individual employment of personal assistants is one clear and recognised path to independent living. However, there have been some reservations about the nature, process and impact of the broader personalisation agenda more generally within which direct payments and personal budgets are located. Some commentators point to the loss of the collective impulse in personalised approaches – ideas that were central to the development of the independent living movement and its founding principles. Some countries have seen the rise of collective responses to direct payment developments. This is explicable in terms of a suspicion of individualist underpinnings of personalisation coupled with a collective vision of social life. This article is based on an exploratory study of collective approaches in the field of direct payments where choice and social solidarity are being combined. Drawing on developments in Sweden, England and Wales, the article aims to inform possible future debates about direct payments and cooperative approaches and argues that greater user-control is not inimical to enhanced collective action.     

跨文化交际视阈下的旅游宣传资料英译研究

旅游宣传资料的英译是译者、作者和国外游客之间的一种跨时空、跨文化交际活动.旅游宣传资料的翻译者必须增强自身的跨文化敏感性,既精通两种语言又熟谙两种文化,最大限度地兼容交际双方的语言习惯、文化心理、交际规约和价值标准差异.本文试以比较中英旅游宣传资料在遣字用词、句式结构、谋篇布局、文本内容等方面的差异为路径,揭示中英两种语言体系所承载的语言习惯、价值观念、思维模式、民族心理、审美情趣等跨文化交际要素的差异,并提出跨文化交际视阈下的旅游宣传资料英译的原则和方法.     

文化公民身份的认同问题探究

文化公民身份问题是一种试图通过建立沟通性社会而设置的论题,它通过解构文化中存在的主体与客体建构的中心—边缘结构,消解二元结构所产生的不平等文化对人们生活造成严重负面影响;通过纳入“他者”视角,从文化的主体间性形成的平等关系,寻找认同和承认的政治空间,从而重塑新型共同体。审视文化公民身份认同在社会转型时期发挥的作用,为公民身份认同问题研究呈现一种新的转机和希望,并为解决全球化背景下人类遭遇的环境生态危机、资源枯竭、粮食短缺和核危机等难题指明出路。     

外语文化回应教学透视

语言与文化密切相关。从本质上讲,外语教学就是以语言知识讲授为基础的文化教学。作为多元文化教学模式,外语文化回应教学突显语言与文化的互动,强调外语教学的文化立场,回应多元文化差异,旨在培养学习者的跨文化理解能力。在语言环境中审视文化,将语言教学提升至文化理解的层面,顺应了文化多元化的时代发展趋势,是当代外语教学研究的一大突破。

从“少数人”到“心智成熟的民众”--利维斯的文化批评与“共同体”形塑

不少学者对利维斯的批判大多立足于片面理解其“少数人文化”论,给利维斯扣上“文化精英主义”的帽子。然而,对利维斯“少数人文化”的理解必须结合利维斯对“大众文明”的界定和批判,更不能忽视利维斯对“心智成熟的民众”的关注和想象。利维斯批判的“大众文明”是工业技术发展带来的批量生产的文化后果,他所批判的“大众文化”并非指人民群众创造的民间文化,而是指商业利益驱动的现代传媒对大众的操纵、欺骗和误导。他清醒地意识到,解决“大众文明”时代的“文化困境”,光靠“少数人”的突围是不够的,而得到“心智成熟的民众”的回应和支持,文化传承才有希望;因此,大学教育的各门学科都应该以培养“心智成熟的民众”为使命,文学研究尤应如此。“少数人”与“心智成熟的民众”之间的创造性合作就是利维斯对“共同体”的想象。     

Intergenerational Exchanges of Middle‐Aged Adults With Their Parents and Parents‐In‐Law in Korea

The authors investigated patterns of support exchanges between Korean adult children and their parents and parents‐in‐law, gender differences in these patterns, and implications of children's marital quality for exchange patterns. Data were from a nationally representative sample of married adults (N = 920, age 30–59 years) with at least 1 living parent and 1 living parent‐in‐law. Latent class analysis was applied to 12 indicators of exchanges (financial, instrumental, emotional support given to and received from parents and parents‐in‐law). Five classes of exchanges were identified, 3 showing balanced patterns of exchanges with parents and parents‐in‐law across three types of support and 2 classes with unbalanced patterns (e.g., giving instrumental and financial but not emotional support). The findings revealed variability in intergenerational exchange patterns, with a mix of patrilineal traditional and balanced patterns. Significant associations of exchange patterns with adult children's marital quality suggest the importance of balanced exchanges with parents for marriage.     

Widowhood and Well‐being in Europe: The Role of National and Regional Context

Researchers have documented that widows have lower levels of subjective well‐being than married individuals, but we still know little about how the regional and national contexts affect the impact of widowhood on well‐being. Building on social capital theory and using data from 5 rounds of the European Social Survey (N= 119,292 people, 206 regions, 23 countries), the authors tested how marital status composition at the national and regional levels affects the well‐being of widows. Widows fare worse in countries with high proportions of married people and in regions and countries with high proportions of widowed persons. The proportion of married individuals at the regional level does not affect their well‐being. These results are in line with the greedy marriage hypothesis, but varying effects at regional and national levels suggest that the standard explanation for this phenomenon, lack of individual social support, is not valid. This study demonstrates the importance of multiple contextual embeddedness.
