口头知识的不确定性——以土城老人讲述的红色故事为例

民俗学把田野调查奉为圭臬,为了强调田野调查的神圣性,往往把来自田野的口头知识设定为"属于民众自己的""‘鲜活的""富于生命力的"文化传统,因而也就预设了口头知识不受质疑的免检特权.可是,我们在土城的田野调查显示,几乎所有的口头知识都是不确定的.因此,口头知识难以作为我们了解确定性知识的推论依据.我们从口口相传的田野中看不到红军长征的真实面貌,只看到了不断变异的红色故事,看到了人们的口头传统.     

论神话英雄鲧

史书中的鲧并非上古神话中英雄的鲧。鲧和他的夏民族发祥于河南嵩山及其以西的地方,鲧既是神话中夏民族的远古先祖,又是当时功绩卓著的治水英雄,在部族的斗争中被杀。后来鲧神话被历史化,鲧也变成了一个叛臣。     

论六朝志怪小说角色设计的悲剧性

六朝志怪小说的角色设计带有悲剧性的特点,其主要内涵包括无奈退却、被迫离散和从容赴死三个层面。这种角色设计通过完整的悲剧构架散发出非凡的人格魅力和浓重的生命意识,其成因应归结为六朝那个多灾多难的时代社会角色的扮演、长期积淀成的悲剧文化氛围以及文人以悲为美的审美心理。     

论《三国演义》中的音乐描写及其功能

在历史真实的基础上,《三国演义》的作者结合自己对音乐的擅长,在战争叙事中穿插上大量有关音乐的情节。在整部小说中,这些富有诗韵的音乐叙述片段具有预叙故事、引出人物、推进情节、舒气杀势等叙事功能。它在衔接故事、凝聚结构的同时,给人以刚柔相济、张弛相间之美感。     

Sensory siege: dromocolonisation,slow violence,and poetic realism in the twenty-first century short story from Gaza

Since the Israeli disengagement from Gaza in 2005, the subsequent siege, and Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip, including ‘Operation Cast Lead’ in 2008/2009 and ‘Operation Protective Edge’ in 2014, it has become difficult to convey the normality of life in Gaza, a normality that is often elusive in a situation that is increasingly defined by the accelerated and technological violence of dromocolonisation, at the same time that it is marked by what Rob Nixon has termed ‘slow violence.’ To make these forms of violence visible and apprehensible, recent short fiction from Gaza has turned to poetic realism and the use of the sensory experience to represent life under siege. Contrary to visceral realism, which promotes a focus on the body as a site of victimhood and suffering, poetic realism allows the short story writers discussed in this article to reclaim agency and to define a Gazan identity that resists the subjection and subjectification of human rights discourses and of the Anglophone media by focusing both on the ordinariness and the extraordinariness of living in Gaza in the twenty-first century.
