浪漫派诗歌关乎图征,还是象征——华兹华斯与柯尔律治的诗学思想比较

试图剖析华兹华斯与柯尔律治诗学理念格格不入的原因,提出浪漫派诗歌内部在图征和象征上的巨大差别,以及考察这两种古老的艺术手段对浪漫派诗歌在内容和形式上的创新和贡献。     

论福克纳小说《熊》的生态伦理观念

《去吧,摩西》中的短篇小说《熊》在看似简单明晰的文本背后,蕴含着丰富的生态伦理观念。尤其是带有强烈议论性质的第四部分,其叙事不仅暗示了小说审美风格的转变,而且体现了福克纳小说人学救赎观念与生态伦理思想的交汇融合。强调自然生态环境是人存在的重要组成部分,表达对自然生态环境宗教般虔诚的敬畏情怀构成了小说《熊》的生态伦理观念的第一层内涵。强烈批判人类中心主义思想和现代工业文明对荒野和自然的破坏,深化宗教人学意义上的罪恶与救赎的观念构成了《熊》生态伦理观念的第二层内涵。此外,《熊》还传达出了福克纳强烈的拯救与重建人的本质的愿望。     

论《喧哗与骚动》的诗性语言特征

福克纳虽然常常被认为是著名的小说家,但他原本是个诗人。他在舍伍德·安德森的劝说下,放弃了诗歌写作,转向小说创作,然而他从未放弃运用诗歌的创作革新方法进行写作实验。依照语言学家里奇的诗歌变异理论,福克纳在《喧哗与骚动》里主要运用了词汇变异、语音变异、语法变异、书写变异和方言变异等手段来刻画人物形象、揭示人物内心、挖掘主题。福克纳针对处于精神混乱状态的康普生一家巧妙娴熟地把变异的语言加注在他们头上。让他们分别运用适合自己精神状况、身份和命运的语言从不同侧面来言说这个家族（南方的代表）的分崩离析,契合了美国旧南方必然走向没落的主题。     

Feminism and science in Masters of Sex

This article examines the fictional characterization of the real-life sex researchers and scientists William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson in the Showtime television program Masters of Sex (2013–2016). The historical Johnson had a complicated relationship with second-wave feminism: she disdained the movement and was interested primarily in improving heterosexual marriages and the sex lives of married couples. The Johnson character speaks in a language of postfeminism with minimal interest in collective action and broader social change. However, second-wave feminists later used her and Masters’ research in order to support their own beliefs about sexual autonomy and freedom, within and beyond marriage and heterosexuality. The television program demonstrates Johnson’s importance to both phases of her and Masters’ research—in the first phase, when they are based in a hospital and university environment, and in the second, when they establish their own research institute and raise funds directly from the clients that they serve. Johnson exemplifies postfeminist depictions of ambitious women in prestige television, her aim to have a successful career and marriage conflict, and while she is willing to compromise scientific values to serve her own goals, her male colleagues temper that ambition in service of “objective” science.     

Experiments with truth. A sociological variation on William James's Varieties of Religious Experience

William James's Varieties of Religious Experience is a classic psycho‐philosophical study of the experience of the sacred and of its practical effects on the ordinary life of extraordinary persons. In a pragmatic variation of Kant's proof of god's existence, James uses personal accounts of converts to empirically demonstrate that there's “something” that has causal effects on the well‐being of the person. While the article is largely sympathetic to James explorations of the mystical, it offers a sociological variation on the Varieties that foregrounds the social, cultural and political aspects of religion.     

"罪恶"的现代诠释:作为现代悲剧叙事的核心——威廉·福克纳作品对"罪恶"的审美呈现

威廉·福克纳作品中表现的多种罪恶,已成为他创作的重要特征,也使其常常遭到误解。将悲剧理论与叙事学方法相结合,把作家对罪恶的表现视为其现代悲剧叙事的重要组成部分。他既借此与悠久的文学传统相衔接,又赋予其鲜明的现代特征。＂罪恶＂在多部作品的文本构成中被赋予多种艺术功能和复杂的意义指向,并借此为作家完成现代悲剧的创造奠定了基础。

Reconceptualizing the Self Phenomenon: Toward an Emic Conception of the Self

In sociology, the self has been conceptualized as either self‐concept or the process of self‐reflectivity. Both notions of the self have been traced to the early thinkers—William James, Charles H. Cooley, and George H. Mead—who laid the foundation for the scientific study of the self phenomenon. In this article, I propose a revised conception of the self based on a re‐reading of the classics. I argue that the self is related to but not the same as self‐concept or the process of self‐reflectivity. The self is an emic object, that is, the entity that one takes oneself to be. More specifically, the self is the empirical existence of an individual perceived by the individual to be his or her own. As the identity the individual finds in his or her existence in a world shared with others, the self is a product of both self‐reflection and self‐enactment. Implications of this reconceptualization for some broad issues related to the self phenomenon are also discussed.     

Commodity prices and the world distribution of income

Some advocates of a new international economic order recommend raising prices of commodities exported by developing countries as a means of reducing the inequality of world income distribution. A simulation model using commodity trade data and income distribution data for 68 industrial and developing countries examines this policy alternative. Initial data compilation reveals that internal inequality is as important as international: The world income share of the poorest 40% of people would be twice as high in the absence of intracountry inequality. Calculations using actual price experience in the “great inflation” of 1972–1975 show that despite the large relative price changes for some commodities (especially oil), these changes left the world size distribution of income virtually unchanged. Separate policy simulations show that even a quadrupling of the price of ali “equalizing” commodities (those mainly exported by LDCs) would leave the size distribution of world income practically unaltered (even under optimistic assumptions about intracountry distributional incidence), although some individual LDCs would gain. Increasing commodity prices therefore appears to be an ineffective means of increasing international equity, quite apart from questions about the feasibility of cartels or commodity agreements.     

福克纳种族观之变化——《喧哗与骚动》,《去吧,摩西》和《闯入坟墓者》

作为20世纪美国南方最著名的作家之一,对黑人生活的和种族问题的关注是福克纳小说中不可忽视的组成部分。他痛恨种族歧视,同情黑人的命运,并赞美黑人身上的优秀品质,但是在当遇到彻底解决南方奴隶制的问题时,福克纳无论在作品里还是言论中都表现出复杂而矛盾的态度。由于受到时代,社会,家庭和自身局限性的限制,在三部不同时期的作品中福克纳对于种族观点的变化可以清晰地体现出来。
