回到索绪尔:语素形位原理初探

语素形位是语素作为系统要素的价值实现的机制,也即语素间相互区别的原理;是统摄语言和文字这两个符号系统的要素的形、音、义于一体的区别性单位;是与某一概念联系的音响形象或视觉形象的心理印记。索绪尔虽未提出语素形位概念,但其理论表述中蕴涵了这一概念的原理。语素形位原理已为神经语言学研究所证实,在语言学研究中所具有的认识论和方法论意义以及普通语言学理论意义。     

Articulations of populism: the Nordic case

Populism as a concept is elusive and has been connected to very different political movements. Generally, populism’s connotations are rather negative and the term is often used pejoratively in the academic field as well. However, Ernesto Laclau has approached populism by arguing that populist reason is a manifestation of political logic in which group identification – formed through various signifiers such as ‘the people’, which are articulated as part of an ‘equivalence chain’ – eventually establishes political agency as a totality. This paper uses Laclau’s articulation theory to analyse the public construction of contemporary populism in the Nordic countries of Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. The analysis demonstrates that mainstream media frame populism rather negatively, although examples of the term’s positive identification with ‘the people’ are available, especially in the tabloid media. Thus, the positive identification behind the forming of populist movements clashes with the media discourse that prioritizes established journalistic views, practices and sources, making populism a ‘floating signifier’, that is, a concept that has several meanings which are contested in various public discourses. A general pattern in the construction of populism in Northern European multi-party democracies can be discerned, thus identifying the central role of nationalist and nativist identifications in contingent populist articulations. However, the differences between the Nordic countries emphasize a context-driven approach.     

Sound Studies Meets Deaf Studies

ABSTRACT

Sound studies and Deaf studies may seem at first impression to operate in worlds apart. We argue in this article, however, that similar renderings of hearing, deafness, and seeing as ideal types—and as often essentialized sensory modes—make it possible to read differences between Sound studies and Deaf studies as sites of possible articulation. We direct attention to four zones of productive overlap, attending to how sound is inferred in deaf and Deaf practice, how reimagining sound in the register of low-frequency vibration can upend deafhearing dichotomies, how “deaf futurists” champion cyborg sound, and how signing and other non-spoken communicative practices might undo phonocentric models of speech. Sound studies and Deaf studies emerge as fields with much to offer one another epistemologically, theoretically, and practically.

Expanding our sociolinguistic horizons? Geographical thinking and the articulatory potential of commodity chain analysis

Conceptual linearity and analytic parochialism (aka focus) can make it more difficult for sociolinguists or discourse analysts to apprehend the far‐reaching, exploitative ways inequality is nowadays produced. A suitably material‐cum‐materialist class critique certainly entails empirical and phenomenological worlds flagged by, for example, multi‐sited ethnographies but otherwise side‐lined as merely “extra‐situational” in much talk/text‐directed scholarship. I propose we think more geographically by properly engaging spatiality à la Harvey (1990) and especially the radical politics of simultaneity (Massey, 2005)—the literal, “right‐now” connectedness of places and people. To this end, and allied with deepening interest in political economy, I combine the principles of articulation theory with the procedures of commodity chain analysis for picking apart an epitomic, contemporary manifestation of extreme privilege: the business‐class meal. The proposed discourse‐centred commodity chain analysis offers an ecumenical but systematic framework for tracking how commodity fetishism is actually and discursively accomplished (or not) across dispersed voices, stories, and social meanings.     

Foodwork as re-articulation of women's in/visible work: A study of food allergy blogs

This paper advances our understanding of foodwork as the organization of women's work and racialized, gendered, and classed inequalities in the provisioning, preparation, and consumption of food. Drawing on notions of the in/visibility of women's work, I conceptualize foodwork as the articulation of visible and invisible women's work in the social organization of everyday food practices. The analysis of three blogs, written by women with, or mothers of children with, food allergies, provides a glimpse into the everyday living with food allergy. The investigation of the actual practices of allergy foodwork shows that they are interactive and intersectional patterns of work and make everyday life possible. The paper maps directions for research to explore how foodwork could be organized differently starting from the transformative potential of everyday food practices, blogs, and food allergy.     

回到索绪尔:论语言的本质及语言与文字的关系--与潘文国先生商榷

索绪尔关于语言的本质和语言与文字的关系的理论原理并未“过时”。探讨汉语汉字的特点和理论创新,不应背离普通语言学的基本原理。应完整、准确地把握索绪尔的理论体系,避免误读和误解。在研究的认识论和方法论上,以语言为出发点而不是以文字为出发点,以语素为语言分节本位,避免语音语义不同步的二元编码机制现象,至为关键。     

娱乐话语与主流话语的“接合”——“青春中国”语境下湖南卫视新综艺的意指实践

湖南卫视新综艺的文化转型是以“青春中国”为基本语境,围绕电视“文化综艺”的话语体系而展开的视觉符号使用与意义生产实践。这是一种典型意义上的接合实践。为了规避“泛娱乐”全民狂欢式的市场文化危机,湖南卫视新综艺善于激活、征用一系列中华民族传统文化、公益、乡村振兴符号与“新综艺”话语之间的勾连,构建“弱娱乐、强价值”的“话语性场域”,以及“娱乐话语”与“主流话语”互动式的接合关系。这种意指实践不仅增强新综艺“新主流”文化话语的价值赋能,重塑民族共同体的集体记忆,激起人们深层次的情感认同和文化共鸣,凝聚社会力量的共同信仰,重塑“想象的共同体”,而且通过与主流价值观相勾连的视觉修辞策略来强化节目的正当性,赋予新综艺改版行为一种合法的意义阐释。     

The potential of design-driven foresight to support strategy articulation through experiential learning

The turn of the 21st century has seen the burst of research on how design can support strategy formation and execution; however, little attention has been placed on the emerging field of design-driven foresight, that is the combined adoption of design and foresight methods to generate more immersive, experiential, and engaging representations of the future and inform strategy-making. This paper further unpacks this domain by examining the mechanisms that connect design-driven foresight with strategy articulation through relying on experiential learning. By drawing on a three-year research and innovation project, we illustrate how the relevant stakeholders make use of design-driven foresight processes while co-creating some interactive technologies needed to support crowdsourced curatorial processes in cultural heritage. The empirical evidence suggests how design-driven foresight, through co-creation workshops, can support experiential learning in the form of three distinct processes: favouring knowledge translation mechanisms, creating a safe space for learning-by-doing, and facilitating a multi-stakeholder conversation anchored to material and tangible work embedded in design artefacts. In turn, experiential learning can support processes of strategy articulation that emerge while stakeholders tinker with multiple exploitation pathways and progress through alternating phases of convergent and divergent thinking. Finally, it is argued that the plasticity and openness of design artefacts adopted in the context of foresight support forms of learning that will eventually foster processes of strategy articulation.
