作为政治话语的1958年“新民歌运动”

1958年的“新民歌运动”是在新中国特殊的政治意识形态背景下出现的。从其开始之初,即没有按照文学特有的规律和轨迹向前发展。作为文学话语,它已经失去了文学所应具备的审美属性,但是作为政治话语,它却使得自身借助于文学话语的形象表达方式实现了意识形态的宣传策略。不仅如此,民歌所蕴含的丰富的民间意识形态,在以文学话语面貌出现的强大的政治话语面前被主流化。另外,民众的广泛参与也使“新民歌运动”以政治话语的身份参与到政治节日化的日常社会生活中来,从而显现着一个时代的生活特色和精神特色。政治话语借助于文学话语的力量巩固了当时的意识形态,但文学话语却陷入了尴尬的境地,久而久之,文学话语失去了独特的、永恒的魅力,政治话语也失去了在日常社会生活中所应有的积极力量。     

性别与政治话语的交织与离散——以丁玲在左联、延安时期的文本为例

丁玲30年代的作品,学界有人认为是其创作转向的开始。其实,即便是在政治理念高扬的20世纪30——40年代,潜抑于丁玲内心深处的性别意识和性别思考也没有完全消遁,而是与革命叙述的话语复杂地交织在一起。从丁玲在左联、延安时期创作的一些文本可以看出,丁玲试图从女性的角度在有限的话语空间内表达出自己的声音。     

当前我国民主进程中的执政为民

提出民主的广义语义和约定语义两个概念,由此引出两点结论:任何执政党的执政地位都不是与生俱来的、一劳永逸的;人民的民主能力也不是与生俱来的。对于广义语义的民主而言,执政为民就是立党为公,具体内容是满足人民的物质生活、社会生活、精神生活三方面的需要。对于约定语义的民主而言,执政为民就是提高人民的民主能力、引领民主进程,具体做法应是发展生产力、发展教育、培育民主意识、建设民主制度和推进经济的市场化改革。     

选举民主的积极功能

民主是人类共同的价值观,选举民主是一种民主实现形式。选举民主是指人民通过自由、公正、广泛、定期、平等、竞争性的选举来选择政府及其治理方式。选举民主的积极功能有:合法性功能、选择和监督功能、稳定和抚慰功能、纠错和矫正功能、培育公民意识功能、扩大公民参与功能。     

Explanatory Matrices on the Causes of a Tailing Dam Collapse in Brazil: The (Dis)Articulation of Epistemes

Mining tailing dam ruptures are increasingly common events in South America. Due to their high potential degree for avoidance, they are considered to be technological disasters and often have a considerable impact on local populations and communities, as well as affecting the ecosystem. The failure of the Fundão dam in 2015 in the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais (is) considered one of the largest socioenvironmental disasters in the country's history. Different explanations for the causes of the disaster were put forward by various social actors. This article critically analyzes these discourses through the theoretical-methodological reference of the social theory of discourse, with the aim of understanding the various discursive contexts of the causes of the breach of the dam. The analysis and understanding of these explanatory matrices suggested that different discourses present different epistemological approaches to the causes of the disaster, related to aspects such as sociohistorical, political, ideological, and asymmetric relations of power. The statements had different emphases, being associated with distinct epistemic positions that were often not in convergence.  Moreover, certain terms and approaches reinforce or minimize processes of vulnerability experienced by the affected populations. These discourses present consents, dissents, and contradictions and when systematically integrated can improve the planning of risk management and broaden the understanding related to technological disaster occurrence.     

从中国传统文论话语的存活看优秀传统文化的生命力

中国传统文论话语并非全部消亡,有一部分仍然存活在中国现当代的文学理论和批评中。这些传统文论话语的存活反映了优秀传统文化的强盛的生命力。这种强盛的生命力来源于它们对中国人民以及整个人类物质生活、精神生活某一范畴的本质反映和表述,在于它们对客观规律的揭示。     

Renewable energy transition under multiple colonialisms: passive revolution,fascism redux and utopian praxes

ABSTRACT

This essay outlines intermedia theory’s contribution to the emerging multiple colonialisms framework and argues that a socio-ecological reproduction feminist approach to the multiple colonialisms problematic is critically necessary for thinking through the contradictions of renewable energy transition. A multiple colonialisms framework needs to be a kind of utopian theorizing, I argue, just as any feminist renewable energy transition seeking to realize energy democracy and energy justice must create a utopian collective praxis that regenerates common-being and reproduces common wealth. Drawing on research on a network of petroleum-free subaltern feminist agricultural cooperatives in Medak, India, and on the creativity of their media practices, this article examines the social contradictions of energy democracy and just transition politics in a conjuncture defined by green passive revolution and fascism redux. The essay proposes the concepts of ‘subaltern counter-environments’ and ‘molecular media’ to decolonize energy democracy and just transition discourse and to articulate the importance of an autonomous domain of subaltern politics for a degrowth strategy of regenerative delinking through and against the state. Molecular media created by the Feminist Energy Futures research collaboration at the University of Alberta seek to regenerate the bias of time in our contemporary intermedia ecology where the bias of spectacularized and colonized space is otherwise dominant so that regenerative delinking strategies can endure social contradictions they embody through subaltern counter-environments they can create.     

The ambivalence of creative activism as a reorganization of critique

This article identifies an emerging type of critique and defines it as creative activism. It is argued why this is distinguishable from earlier similar forms of protests and shown why traditional theories of political art, social movements and citizenship are in themselves insufficient to accurately describe and understand the normative ambivalence of what is also known as culture jamming. Irony and utopia are proposed as analytical concepts supplementing these existing theoretical frameworks. It is also demonstrated how these alternative perspectives can be fruitfully applied to understand the reorganization of critique regardless of whether one views creative activism suspiciously as a societal symptom or more optimistically as a democratic potential.     

农村家庭亲子阅读中的话语分析研究

本研究从谈话目的、谈话内容和谈话形式三个维度对农村家庭的亲子阅读进行话语分析研究。研究发现：亲子阅读中家长主导阅读过程，幼儿居于被动地位；阅读关注文本本身，拓展内容很少；封闭式提问较多，家长提问水平较低；亲子阅读互动不佳。鉴于此，研究者对农村家长提出四点教育建议：尊重幼儿主体地位；提高自身语言修养；丰富亲子阅读互动；关注幼儿阅读品质。     

Marketing,media, and misogyny: interactive advertising critique in a Huffington Post forum

This paper examines 3,144 comments in a March 2012 Huffington Post forum about an online Belvedere vodka advertisement that was widely interpreted to depict sexualized violence. The study applies critical textual analysis, relating discourse to context to illuminate recurring themes and clues to the strategies and resources influencing how comments were constructed. Four major recurring themes emerge from within a wide range of topics: (1) speculations on advertising strategy; (2) contested perceptions of sexual assault; (3) links between gender politics and party politics; and (4) media literacy lessons. Cutting across themes is an apparent awareness of context, including the site’s reward system, its predominantly left-leaning politics, and the potential consequences of participant commentary being exploited by Belvedere to increase brand recognition. Comments often invoke personal or professional authority by articulating qualifications presumed relevant to the advertisement’s deconstruction. The study suggests that forum participants can be understood as members of productive communities, who construct responses structured by shared contextual constraints and/or relevant common experience. The study also suggests that online forum participation offers mixed prospects for lay critics of media misogyny in that their commentary vies for attention alongside missives calculated to be provocative.
