聊斋公案小说的进步倾向和艺术特色

《聊斋志异》是清初文学巨匠蒲松龄倾毕生心血写成的 “孤愤之书”, 其中颇有几篇以案例为题材主体的公案小说佳作, 如脍炙人口的 《胭脂》、《冤狱》、《诗谳》等。评析这些作品思想上的进步倾向和艺术上的独特成就, 对于领略古代执法者 “仁爱为本”、“实心为政”的治狱思想, 汲取他们在具体办案中的经验教训, 促进法制文学的昌盛繁茂, 探讨法律文化与社会政治之间的相互影响, 或许都是有所裨益的     

The big story about small stories: Narratives of crime and terrorism

The ‘big story/small story’ distinction has emerged as a discrete approach to narrative analysis. Proponents of this approach are critical of the ‘big stories’ elicited by structural analysts, which they see as highly structured narratives of past experiences, typically elicited in an interview context. In contrast, they highlight the importance of studying the fragmented, contextualised ‘small stories’ that arise in everyday conversation/interaction. We question the basis of this distinction and we suggest that it unnecessarily proliferates analytic categories. Further, we suggest that the methodologies followed by ‘small stories’ analysts are often similar to those used to elicit ‘big stories’ and are hence open to similar criticisms; in particular, a failure to fully consider the issue of (contextual) naturalism. Drawing on interviews of crime/terrorism in Northern Ireland, we show how these data comprise both ‘big stories’ and ‘small stories’ within the same context and often within the same narrative.     

Perspectives on being a father from men involved with child welfare services

Fathers can make positive contributions to their children's well‐being. However, involving the literature and this research indicate that fathers are much less likely to be engaged with child welfare services than mothers. This paper reports the findings of life story research with 18 fathers involved with child welfare. It focuses on these men's perspectives of fatherhood and their relationships with their children. Also, reactions to these fatherhood stories from father and service provider focus groups are examined. The findings challenge common perceptions of these fathers and highlight similarities and differences in perspectives between fathers and service providers. Implications for engaging fathers in child welfare practice are discussed.     

论传统伦理在鲁迅小说叙事中的境遇

在理性伦理层面,鲁迅执著地批判和反抗传统伦理,但在小说叙事伦理中却对传统伦理的诸多方面有所担待,并且充满着不可排遣的紧张冲突,这既是思想、文化转型时代普遍人心秩序的反映,更是鲁迅个体伦理困惑的体现.

佛经故事与历代笑话

汉魏六朝辞赋与志怪

汉魏六朝辞赋的叙事性和虚构性,决定了其与同时代志怪的必然关联。这种关联主要以意象、情节和题材为典型,表现为辞赋作品描绘神祗鬼怪、虚构人神同游、幻想神仙意趣、伪托人鬼交通等。而上述表现,特别是以神女为中心意象的传统主题及其表达模式的文学嬗变,客观上证明：其一,汉魏六朝辞赋是早期辞赋在新时代的拓展;其二,汉魏六朝辞赋在吸收志怪叙事特定信息的同时,又对志怪叙事产生积极作用,以致影响着文言小说的时代走向。     

《朗读者》:凿向多元叙述的利斧——小说叙事艺术探微

德国作家本哈德·施林克的《朗读者》,以精致、独到的小说艺术赢得一致好评。其在文本叙事方面的主要特征是:镶嵌并置的多重故事叙事,时间颠倒的时序倒置,隐喻与深层结构下的宗教话语言说;这些策略的运用,将小说的叙述艺术以多元的方式呈现了出来。     

“小说”源流与唐传奇的民间口说传统--以“小说”及相关概念为考察中心

唐传奇无疑是来自于前代的文体,该文体获得娱乐精神从而性质发生转变显然有深厚的原因：一是唐代特定的社会文化背景,二是前代“小说”之精神。先秦以来民间就存在着“小说”（说故事以求娱乐）传统,这类故事形成文字后就被收录在“小说”名录之下。唐传奇的产生过程,证明其确实继承了“小说”传统。正是“小说”娱乐精神融入叙事性的杂史、杂传以及宗教宣传,才改变了后者的文体性质,使得它们成为现代意义上的小说---“传奇”。
