《太平广记》宗教文化研究述评

《太平广记》宗教文化研究主要是本世纪前后新兴起来的新课题,也是极具学术价值的研究课题,目前该研究主要集中在神仙文化、果报思想、鬼怪文化和梦文化等方面。但这些研究缺乏系统性和深入性,宗教文化研究与小说文本研究脱节,文本内容研究与编纂意义研究脱节。

美国研究视阈中的三K党运动——以“中层结构”和“社会空间”理论为视点的论析

从美国研究的“中层结构”理论和“社会空间”理论来看,美国三K党组织作为一种“中层结构”破坏了美国社会文化正常发展所依赖的“社会空间”。三K党运动的演进过程是中层机制的消极构成在“社会空间”中的病态表征,彰显了美国多元文化的深层矛盾,成为美国文化史上一个特有的悖论。     

重估文化的位置——兼论新自由主义与文化研究的危机

学界针对文化研究的批评和指责,其实质都指向一个核心命题,即文化在社会结构中的位置问题。种种关于文化在社会结构中的位置的观点都面临着语境变迁所带来的挑战,因此,我们有必要引入新自由主义的政治经济参照系,在新的全球性历史语境中重估文化的位置。在资本强权逻辑的胁迫下,那种精心营构的有机的、批判的文化观念不得不让位于空洞媚俗的新自由主义大众文化。由此,我们提出重构一种有机的、具有批判潜能的文化的可能途径：一方面,阿帕杜拉的“草根性全球化”无疑敞开了一种新的可能性,开启了一扇与全球资本主义若即若离的、便于开展游击战术的独特空间。那种有机的、建构的文化,正是有望从全球草根性群体中生发、蔓延,成为批判全球资本主义的另类声音;另一方面,重返英国文化研究尤其是前伯明翰时期,在文化研究学术史的脉络梳理中发掘出文化、政治、经济之间的结构性关联,以及这种关联在文化研究兴起和全球旅行过程中的动态变化,无疑为我们在当下语境中重估文化的位置提供了重要的参照。     

创建黑水城出土文献研究新的里程碑

黑水城文书是20世纪继甲骨文、汉晋简牍、敦煌文书以后的又一次重大出土文献发现。对于这批珍贵文献,史金波从文物、文献和史料以及学术等三个方面对其价值进行探讨的同时,指出了在录文、定名和断代过程中需要注意的问题,并对黑水城出土汉文文献的研究情况作了探讨。白滨从文献出土地辨析与文献甄别、文献缀合以及文献残卷的拟题与断代等三个问题入手,以现有的研究成果为个例对黑水城文献整理与研究过程中应该注意的问题作了解析。孙继民对文献的朝代构成和学科定名问题进行探讨后认为,黑水城文献的朝代构成中可确定的是唐、五代、辽、宋、西夏、金、伪齐、元(包括北元)诸朝;目前流行的"西夏学"一语不足以涵盖黑水城文献的性质,围绕黑水城文献而兴起的专门学问用"黑城学"或"黑水城文献学"定名更为恰当;此外,他还对"黑城学"与"西夏学"的关系进行了辨析。杨倩描认为,俄藏黑水城宋代军政文书不仅可以对两宋之际以鄜延路为中心的西北地区史料作一定的补充,而且对一些具有普遍意义的宋代制度、事件、人物的研究也有相当的价值。     

描述译学的语言学模式

始于20世纪70年代的描述翻译学,因其具有理论和应用双重属性,有助于翻译理论研究和实践研究之间的沟通.而系统功能语言学,作为一种基于人类学、社会学、符号学的现代语言学理论,与描述翻译学具有相通的语言观、系统观和功能观.由此,系统功能语言学的系统理论、功能理论、语境理论,能够为描述翻译学提供一种更为细致、有效的研究途径.     

Letting Students Control Their Own Learning: Using Games,Role-Plays,and Simulations in Middle School U.S. History Classrooms

The purpose of this article is to synthesize research on the benefits and use of games, role-plays, and simulations, whilst providing examples practicing teachers may wish to use in their classroom. Therefore, the article presents a discussion of key previous research on the use of games, role-plays, and simulations in secondary history classrooms. It also presents a discussion of the benefits games, role-plays, and simulations can have on student learning. This includes discussion of how such student-centered teaching and learning opportunities can improve students' critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills. Finally, it presents examples of these types of student-centered, inquiry-based, hands-on learning experiences, drawn from the author's previous 16 years of secondary classroom experiences.     

The Times They are A’changing: Multigenerational Family Simulations

Multigenerational households are increasingly affecting both the individual and family as well as community organizations and social policies. Social work and other family studies students can profit from educational modalities that use adult learning applications through a systems life-course perspective, the whole family aging over time. Family simulation software—addressing multigenerational families, such as two or more adult generations living together—builds on a previous paper (Marriage & Family Review, Feb. 2015). Social class, among other demographic and environmental variables, is emphasized. Agent-based family social network simulation of multigenerational families can facilitate experiential learning. An automatically generated life events report, based on both factual data and specific family characteristics, can be used as a classroom case study for role playing and assessing.     

Deaf access to justice in Northern Ireland: rethinking ‘Reasonable Adjustment’ in the Disability Discrimination Act

Abstract

This article provides findings of a qualitative study exploring the interactions of eight Deaf participants and one hearing ally with the justice system in Northern Ireland, where the Disability Discrimination Act requires solicitors to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ in order to provide effective access to Deaf clients. Three thematic categories emerged: (a) barriers to accessing justice, (b) work Deaf people do for access, and (c) the need to educate solicitors about access. A central strain ran through these themes: the idea that ‘reasonable adjustment’ must reflect the value of sign language interpreters in facilitating effective communication access for all the parties.
