刘勰的文学观念——兼论所谓杂文学观念

刘勰在《文心雕龙》中所展示的文学观念 ,说明他能够从人类文化发展的角度 ,来认识文学的本质和特点。他既看到文学作为人类文化中的一个部分 ,具有人类文化的普遍共性 ,即也是“道之文” ,是具有客观真理性的自然之道的体现 ,同时又和人类文化中其他部分 ,如哲学、历史、政治、伦理道德等 ,具有根本不同的特点 ,它是艺术思维的产物 ,是人的感情的形象表现 ,是以语言为工具的审美的艺术品。刘勰和六朝时许多文学批评家一样 ,清楚地看到了那种宽泛的“文”的观念是不科学的 ,他们一直在用各种方式 ,试图寻找和探讨艺术文学 ,也就是所谓纯文学的特征 ,所以 ,简单地不加分析地肯定所谓“杂文学”观念 ,甚至把它说成是中国古代文学的民族特点 ,是不正确的

The Relevance of Modernity to Contemporary East Asia: An Outline

This article offers a framework for exploring the relevance of modernity to contemporary East Asia. I first examine different conceptualizations of modernity, paying special attention to Eisenstadt's influential concept of multiple modernities. Second, I point out the limitations and flaws of Eisenstadt's theory by drawing on nationalist politics in East Asia as an illustrative case. In particular, I examine the so-called “history perception problem,” which has been created by war and shaped by the legacies of war, to demonstrate the peculiar features of modernity in East Asia. Third, I use the works by three scholars as examples to show how intellectuals in China, South Korea, and Taiwan respond to the tensions between universalism and particularism, which, as a whole, reflect what can be called “East Asian modernity.” And finally, I try to respond to the controversial but fashionable question that is peculiar to East Asia: can modernity be overcome? It is argued that East Asia can be understood through the lens of modernity, and vice versa. Nowadays, modernity has become a global condition in both geographical and topological senses. It is not something to be overcome, but a condition that we all live in and should learn to live with, here and now.     

凝视生命，凝练对词语的激情

怀藏对词语的激情,穿越厚重的文化空间,渴望用修辞手段来支配词语的命运,从而以“灾异”的风格描摹词语的魅力,这应该是刘恪的《词语诗学》的抱负之所在,同时这也就完成了当代诗学的一次大胆的创化。搜罗集体记忆的碎片,通过编织文本的艺术来呈现人类文化历史的残像余蕴,实现宏大的历史与微渺的体验之间的沟通,《词语诗学》体现了全球时代中国诗学的一种可能走向。     

Who Is to Blame?

We present the results of a content analysis of communications related to the act of terrorism at Domodedovo airport. They show that mass media plays a significant role as a source of factual, undigested information. The theoretical value of the results is that they show a significant number of cases where an actor is accused with no reference to his actions or nonactions. The range of types of complicity in terrorist activity was substantial.     

Totally tall sounds totally younger: Intensification at the socio‐semantics interface

In two social perception experiments, we explore the relationship between the social meaning and the semantic/pragmatic properties of the intensifier totally in American English. In Experiment 1, we show that totally is perceived as a more salient index of social identity categories – measured in terms of Age, Solidarity and Status attributes – when it targets a scalar dimension grounded in the speaker's attitude, as opposed to when it occurs in contexts where the scale is provided by the subsequent predicate. In Experiment 2, we show that the social indexicality of totally is even more salient in contexts in which the intensifier, by virtue of its pragmatic contribution, invites a stance of heightened proximity and convergence between the interlocutors. These results point to a principled connection between the semantic, pragmatic and personality‐based social meanings of totally, providing new insights into the dynamics whereby different layers of meaning conspire to determine what an expression ‘says’ when deployed in interaction.     

When political candidates “go positive”: the effects of flattering the rival in political communication

In the field of political communication, the effects of negative propaganda strategies have been long studied. In the current work, I investigated the perceived and actual persuasiveness of an unexplored positive propaganda strategy, i.e., addressing a flattery to the rival in a political speech. In a 2 × 2 full-factorial design experiment, a fictitious candidate (a man or a woman) flattered, or did not flatter, an opponent in a political speech. Results showed that when the candidate flattered a rival s/he influenced the likelihood of being voted through source trustworthiness evaluation, irrespective of the candidate’s gender. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
