具身认知理论下的幼儿德育工作

传统幼儿德育认知是“离身”的,表现为忽视身体的重要性。基于具身认知理论重建幼儿德育理论使幼儿德育认知具有具身性,幼儿德育知识具有情境性,幼儿德育行为具有生成性。由家长、教师、幼儿园与社区构成的合作性支持系统通过个性化问题的制定与指导,跨园协作与全方位合力设计学习空间等路径使幼儿德育工作优化并高效。     

Applying the ‘Experience-Near’ Principle To Research: Psychoanalytically Informed Methods1

This article is about how to preserve the vitality of the meaning conveyed to social science researchers by participants. I use the example of a qualitative, psycho-social project on the topic of how women's identities change when they become mothers for the first time. Psychoanalysis was used and adapted to understand both participants' and researchers' experience, and the relation of these to each other. I describe two psychoanalytically informed research methods, free association narrative interviewing and infant observation, and give examples of how, separately and together they can go beyond a text-based method and conceptualise identities in ways that avoid reproducing assumptions of rational, unitary, discursive subjectivity. In assessing how well the two methods worked, I focus my discussion on the observation method using four themes: dimensions of time, embodiment and practices, spatial sensitivity and multiple positioning, and how knowing is accomplished in research.     

Strawberry feel forever: understanding metaphor as sensorimotor dynamics

ABSTRACT

Metaphor is a useful way of explaining how to do things. The literature on metaphor in the learning of physical skill has generally explicated its efficacy by examining its actionable directives for motor enactment. And yet from the perspectives of phenomenological philosophy, ecological psychology, and enactivism, action is immanently intertwined with perception, so that models of metaphor-based learning should foreground the role of sensory activity modulating motor behavior. As such, metaphor is retheorized as a sensorial constraint one imaginarily projects into one’s action–perception phenomenological landscape. I present two metaphors from an instructional video on cello technique. Whereas these metaphors are couched in action language (what one should do), their potential impact, I argue, lies in emergent goal sensations (what one should feel). These explorative sensorimotor accommodations may, in turn, bring forth yet new scopes of latent sensations coupled to unanticipated performance possibilities, which suggest further modifying and calibrating enactment in the target domain. Attending to, achieving, and maintaining emergent intermediary goal sensations regulates instrumented action by forging new affordances that bring forth new motor coordination. As teacher and student co-imagine images for action, they should attend to sensory perceptions. And the same goes for scholars of metaphor.     

Restructuring Flexibility: Case Studies of Part‐Time Female Workers in Six Workplaces

The article is based on six workplace case studies within a local economy and investigates the reasons behind the different utilization of part‐time workers within these workplaces. The research examines the content and nature of part‐time work in these organizations and the experiences of the part‐time workforce. The findings suggest that we need to distinguish between three types of part‐time workers; core, peak and ancillary. It is argued that such distinctions capture the variegated utilization of part‐time workers and contribute to the debate concerning the integration or marginalization of part‐time staff within workplaces. Furthermore, workplace cultures are an important arena for contextualizing these discussions. It is contended that the different uses of part‐time workers can be explained by different sectoral and organizational contexts but that the nature of part‐time work is also influenced by existing social relations within the workplace, notably with respect to gender, class and age.     

Gender, home and family in cultural capital theory

The paper argues that Bourdieu's stress on early familiarization for the highest value of cultural capital is closely linked to his idea, strongly emphasized in Distinction, about the role of family and domestic life for individual development and social positions. The role of women, as mothers and homemakers, is crucial in this process. Yet, Bourdieu defines social origin as deriving from the father. The centrality to Bourdieu's thinking of a resilient traditional pattern of masculine domination and feminine submission constitutive of the Western gender habitus explains both his stress on ‘normalcy’ for the production of legitimate dispositions, and his resistance to incorporating into his thinking the implications of recent transformations in home family living, which have destabilized the gender order. It is thus important to consider contemporary feminist analyses of the family and home life and their significance for a renewed theory of cultural capital. The paper considers two sets of literature. Firstly, it addresses the manners in which home and family are conceptualized in Bourdieu's key texts where these issues were prominent in the development of his thinking on cultural capital. The second set of literature includes texts by feminist academics in the fields of family, gender and the body, which analyse the destabilizing of the gender order and everyday family living in contemporary society. Two questions are addressed on the basis of these reflections: (1) Is cultural capital an individual or a household resource? (2) How does cultural capital relate to personal interdependencies at the level of family and households?     

二语作格动词语义加工中的身物交互效应

This article investigates the theoretical basis and feasibility in the processing of English ergative verbs from the perspective of body-object interaction effects (BOI). It analyzes the motor degree of different verbs, probing into the semantic features and syntactic behaviors of ergative verbs. It also explores the relationships between the BOI effects and different type of verbs in semantic processing, examining the motor prominence of English ergative verbs, as well as analyzing the factors that cause the misusage of English ergative verbs in the second language processing. Further empirical research is needed to verify the BOI effects’ restrictive elements in the processing of English ergative verbs.     

具身认知视阈下幼儿性别认知障碍：归因探析、内在机理和消解路径

幼儿时期是个体发展良好的性别认知能力的起始阶段与关键时期。幼儿性别认知障碍具体表现为异性化模仿倾向、分裂情绪性困扰及跨性别类型化活动,原因包括个体先天生理机能反应、负性创伤事件的应激机制、重要他人的角色期待和社会性别文化的角色定型。为了矫正幼儿性别认知障碍,基于具身认知的视角现代教育可以从三个方面做出努力：在身心交融的教育理念下培养正确的性别意识;在体感交互的游戏活动中指导性别角色行为;在具身互动的学习环境下建构性别认同意义。     

二语情感抽象概念加工的具身认知研究

基于具身认知框架下的概念隐喻理论，对中国英语学习者抽象情感词加工的具身认知进行了实证研究。结果发现:（1）二语情感抽象概念存在“积极在上，消极在下”的垂直空间隐喻映射；（2）不同水平组对二语抽象情感词的加工成本存在不对称性；（3）中国英语学习者对不同效价的抽象情感词加工成本趋异。实验结果证明了情感抽象概念能够通过隐喻的方式建立与感知运动信息的联系，情感模拟对二语抽象情感词的加工具有促进作用。     

哲学转向与语言学转向——兼论现代汉语的取舍构式

西方现代哲学经历了从经验主义到唯理主义,再到体验主义的转向,而在语言学界,从结构主义到生成语法,再到认知语言学,正是这一哲学转向的具体体现。文章对汉语取舍构式的研究就是在认知语言学的基础上来进行的,而认知语言学的根基正是体验主义哲学。像＂宁可＂、＂与其……不如……＂、＂非得……＂和＂偏偏……＂等取舍构式,所表达的都是取舍主体根据自身的主观标准对取舍项所进行的抉择。
