蒙古族民间童话的教育人类学探析

教育人类学关注在复杂的文化背景下人的发展和文化传递等方面的问题。蒙古族民间童话作为蒙古族传统文化的重要组成部分,在对其进行文化传承和教育的系统研究方面还是少之又少。从教育人类学的视角对蒙古族民间童话及其传承进行研究,不仅使人们对蒙古族民间童话所蕴含的教育价值有更加全面的认识,而且对民族教育学的丰富和发展同样也是至关重要的。     

人鬼恋情题材的主旨分析——以唐传奇、《牡丹亭》、《聊斋志异》等为例

从魏晋至明清,笔记丛书、传奇、小说中就存在大量以人鬼恋情为原型的故事。以弗洛伊德对于鬼的认识和荣格的原型理论为视角,得出人鬼恋情是人的欲望的投射,主要表达了四类感情:对美好爱情的追求;对好色男人的惩戒;女性意识的觉醒;男人对女性的审美标准。     

“瘫痪”主题下《都柏林人》儿童篇中的叙事策略研究

在著名短篇小说集《都柏林人》童年篇的三个故事《姐妹们》、《遭遇》和《阿拉比》中,乔伊斯基于儿童视角,用精湛的语言和独特的结构展示了其别具风格的叙事策略。其中,以第一人称内聚焦叙事策略、话语空间及故事空间交替的双空间叙事策略最为突出,它们对童年篇故事的发展和推进起到了重要作用。基于这些叙事策略,结合叙事者的精神顿悟,乔伊斯在童年篇中生动展现了都柏林人宗教信仰的迷失、教学的无助和情感的未果,极好地契合了整个小说集的“瘫痪”主题。     

异域人间:《搜神记》的鬼文化

本着"发明神道之不诬"的创作宗旨,《搜神记》在收录了许多虚妄怪诞之事的同时,也保存了大量远古和当世民俗中的一些巫鬼现象。《搜神记》所有关于鬼神的实录,其着眼点指向的是人间而非异域。干宝真正关心的是人的生活、命运和感情世界,鬼女、妖女身上体现着作者的感受,也承载了古人的美好愿望。     

敞开的痴迷与纠缠--博尔赫斯小说结构在格非短篇创作中的延伸

博尔赫斯小说结构在格非短篇创作中有3个方面的延伸一是时间,小说所呈现的"循环型(圆型)结构"把我们带入了对于时间与幻象的痴迷;二是镜子与迷宫,它们生成了无限繁殖与无限增生的文学意象,虚构了想象世界与现实利益之间的模糊,由此也成为结构小说的内在核心,并为文本的多重意蕴提供了潜在的无限阐释的多重可能;三是空间距离,对原先文本或知识的改写,成为这种距离叙述的主要表现方式,它在一定程度上又拉近了与读者期待视野之间的距离,形成所谓"文本的文本"、"叙述的叙述"式的"幻想小说"叙述结构.     

高人一等 高在何处——试析《聊斋志异》写鬼的艺术手法

我国自魏国以至唐宋,写鬼故事之风不绝,<聊斋志异>是这种爱好的继续.人们或为追求恐怖关的享受,或为满足寻找慰藉的愿望,创造了一个鬼神世界,把本来是子虚乌有的事表现得活灵活现,使千万读者为之感动俯仰,而蒲松龄以<聊斋志异>表明,他是这些创造者中最杰出的一个,他把鬼神世界的故事推向极致.他既可用鬼故事写各种世情、人情和爱情,又可借抨击鬼世界来鞭挞人世,笔之所到,自然天成,如水成纹,就像日常生活一样合情合理,证明"高人一等"的评论决非虚誉.

Protagonists' and Adoptive Process Representations in Italian Children's Books About International Adoption: A Qualitative Study

This qualitative study aims at identifying the main representations of the international adoption process through a comparative analysis of 62 Italian stories about international adoption. Content analysis involves the use of thematic analysis as well as computer-assisted text analysis. Results show that adoption is represented varying from a polarization in which “the positive” is situated in the “adoptive world” while “the negative” pertains to the world of the origins, to a more integrated representation in which both the adoptive context and the origins entail positive aspects.     

Working with Stories: Street-Level Bureaucrats and Their Work with Individuals with Psychiatric Disability Exposed to Interpersonal Violence

ABSTRACT

The focus of our attention is the meeting between street-level bureaucrats and individuals with psychiatric disability exposed to interpersonal violence. Based on 11 interviews, we illustrate how stories are understood, used, and made meaningful to the street-level bureaucrat. The contribution of this article is first of all that of being a framework, from a storytelling point of view, for the work and organizational experiences of street-level bureaucrats. Second, by paying attention to the story part of these relationships, we can better understand the situation of individuals with psychiatric disability exposed to interpersonal violence given their interaction with different street-level bureaucrats.     

On ‘telling better stories’*

Over the course of his forty-year career, Lawrence Grossberg has modelled a form of rigorous, politically-engaged, radically contextual social research. Writing about Cultural Studies in the abstract, he has often characterized this work as, principally, about ‘telling better stories,’ and he attempts to tell them in his work on the contemporary conjuncture through analyses of political struggles in the United States. However, in a moment where calls for and claims of ‘better’ cultural stories abound on both the Left and the Right, what exactly does it mean for Cultural Studies to tell them better? I suggest we can locate attempts to grapple with Cultural Studies’ ‘better stories’ problem in the space between Grossberg’s conjunctural work and his work on the identity and future of Cultural Studies. Highlighting these efforts, I clarify what it means for Cultural Studies to assume the responsibility of telling better stories given the specific contours of the present context.
