后现代小说《白雪公主》的互文性分析--以童话隐喻为例

美国后现代小说《白雪公主》主要嫁接于经典格林童话《白雪公主与七个小矮人》,其中也穿插了其他经典童话故事的情节。唐纳德·巴塞尔姆运用互文性将文本历史与社会现实相融合所进行的诗学构建,是对文本历史的承续与反叛,体现了后现代主义创作的锐意创新。在互文性的框架下解析《白雪公主》的童话隐喻,旨在阐述文本表面散漫的叙事风格背后隐藏的对社会现实的深切关注。     

An EWMA chart for monitoring process mean

In the statistical process control literature, there exists several improved quality control charts based on cost-effective sampling schemes, including the ranked set sampling (RSS) and median RSS (MRSS). A generalized cost-effective RSS scheme has been recently introduced for efficiently estimating the population mean, namely varied L RSS (VLRSS). In this article, we propose a new exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart for monitoring the process mean using VLRSS, named the EWMA-VLRSS chart, under both perfect and imperfect rankings. The EWMA-VLRSS chart encompasses the existing EWMA charts based on RSS and MRSS (named the EWMA-RSS and EWMA-MRSS charts). We use extensive Monte Carlo simulations to compute the run length characteristics of the EWMA-VLRSS chart. The proposed chart is then compared with the existing EWMA charts. It is found that, with either perfect or imperfect rankings, the EWMA-VLRSS chart is more sensitive than the EWMA-RSS and EWMA-MRSS charts in detecting small to large shifts in the process mean. A real dataset is also used to explain the working of the EWMA-VLRSS chart.     

Transition probabilities and ARL performance of Six Sigma zone control charts

In this article, Six Sigma zone control charts (SSZCCs) are proposed for world class organizations. The transition probabilities are obtained using the Markov chain approach. The Average Run Length (ARL) values are then presented. The ARL performance of the proposed SSZCCs and the standard Six Sigma control chart (SSCC) without zones or run rules is studied. The ARL performance of these charts is then compared with those of the other standard zone control charts (ZCCs), the modified ZCC and the traditional Shewhart control chart (SCC) with common run rules. As expected, it is shown that the proposed SSZCC outperforms the standard SSCC without zones or run rules for process shifts of any magnitude. When compared to the other standard ZCCs and the Shewhart chart with common run rules, it is observed that the proposed SSZCCs have much higher false alarm rates for smaller shifts and hence they prevent unwanted process disturbances. The application of the proposed SSZCC is illustrated using a real time example.     

A comparative study of confidence intervals for negative binomial proportion

In this paper, we investigate four existing and three new confidence interval estimators for the negative binomial proportion (i.e., proportion under inverse/negative binomial sampling). An extensive and systematic comparative study among these confidence interval estimators through Monte Carlo simulations is presented. The performance of these confidence intervals are evaluated in terms of their coverage probabilities and expected interval widths. Our simulation studies suggest that the confidence interval estimator based on saddlepoint approximation is more appealing for large coverage levels (e.g., nominal level≤1% ) whereas the score confidence interval estimator is more desirable for those commonly used coverage levels (e.g., nominal level>1% ). We illustrate these confidence interval construction methods with a real data set from a maternal congenital heart disease study.     

新世纪以来大学题材长篇小说的基本类型

在当代文学领域，大学题材长篇小说创作长期处于边缘位置，直至进入新世纪，该类作品才大量出现。根据文本内容与现实生活的距离以及不同的艺术手法，可以将这些文本大致划分为三种类型：回忆型、体验型和想象型，其中后两者在内容方面有一定交互性，但在创作技法上却有显著不同，想象型文本虽也有现实底色，但艺术手法更为夸张。这三种类型的出现，既有文学题材自身的原因，也与作家们的身份和经历、文学自身艺术手法的多样以及日益宽松的创作环境有关。     

志怪小说概念的发生

"志怪"与"小说"两词在《庄子》中各处不同语境,含义及用意皆有差异:"志怪"处于论证语境,用为论据;"小说"处于比较语境,成为贬义。它们在汉代之后先后变成目录学领域的类别概念,小说属子部,志怪先附史部后又退至子部。由于两类作品都存在虚构性,后代史家据此便将它们归为一类,从而生成新的类别概念:志怪小说。     

巴金的矛盾及其与巴金小说艺术变迁的关系

巴金的小说创作与他的自我矛盾密切相关,这种矛盾包括无政府主义思想的"极性"特征与现实的矛盾,以及巴金的生命体验与无政府主义信仰本身的矛盾。以某种形式解决这些矛盾,不仅是巴金接受世界、认同自我的前提,也是贯穿他创作过程的一个最核心的个人化课题。巴金通过小说艺术处理其自我矛盾的方式变化,对他小说的创作类型及风格变迁有深刻的影响。     

姜敬爱与萧红小说语言描写艺术之比较

姜敬爱与萧红小说语言均具质朴、细腻、清新、明丽之特质,但在遣词造句上,前者酷爱拟声叠词,后者善用奇语散句;在五觉运用上,前者的嗅觉描写丰富而细腻,后者的通感手法精当而奇特;在辞格使用上,两者都擅长比喻、拟人、排比、反复等,但描写的角度不同,效果也不同。作为创作时代与创作语境极为相似的作家,姜敬爱与萧红小说语言描写的不同主要源于作家创作个性的差异和她们对语言艺术的独特追求。     

SPECIAL ISSUE： ONLINE LITERATURE IN CHINA： PRESENT SITUATION AND THEORETICAL REFLECTIONS Online Writing in the Course of Discourse Transformation： A Review of Ten Outstanding Online Novels of the Past Decade

中国当代文学阅读层面上的价值认同正在经受前所未有的挑战。特别是新世纪以来，新的写作群体、写作方式不断涌现，使固有的理论批评体系遭到撞击、被撕裂，从而导致理论批评不时出现失语现象。随着网络文学的迅猛发展，非主流文学在阅读与消费环节中的影响日益增强，这就使得上述问题转化成了新的矛盾——互相不能包容的阅读隔膜。十多年来，网络上产生了海量的小说文本，逐渐形成了二十多种类型；本文兼顾时间跨度和创作类型，遴选了十年中不同类型的十部佳作，并针对它们区别于纸质媒体的艺术审美和创作特点进行了述评。
