Critical Discourse Analysis of City Cultural Identity Construction—A Case Study of Video Xi tang

With the rapid development of science and technology,video has become a very important way to demonstrate the city itself.This paper,based on Fairclough’s three-dimensional conception of discourse to the video of Xitang,analyzes the on-screen titles of this video to reveal the ideology behind it.Through the analysis,it points out that this video,while protecting Xitang’s own unique traditional characteristics,it tries to cater for the needs not only Chinese people but also foreigners.To some extent,it tries to promote Xitang itself.     

民俗研究与翻译研究

每个民俗学学者必须了解自己的学科有多少经典或创新著作是翻译的结果,尽管这个问题常常被隐含了。民俗研究同时也是翻译研究,因为两个领域近年来愈发成熟和关系密切。无论是跨文化或语言研究还是对文化研究都离不开文本的翻译。这种翻译不仅能提供文本,同时也能在研究新的文化时促进文化协商。民俗学者必须面对民俗与翻译研究中出现的新问题。因此,可以通过回顾历史归纳出民俗与翻译研究的四个挑战。     

Learning about racism: A week-by-week qualitative exploration of two white Dutch primary student teachers’ emotional responses during a Critical Race Theory based course

This qualitative study explored emotional responses of two white Dutch student teachers during a Critical Race Theory (CRT) based course. Following Plutchik's (2001) classification of 32 emotions, the analysis of their weekly diaries resulted in the identification of 16 emotions. In both diaries similar emotional responses were identified. However, the analysis did not reveal a straightforward path these students emotionally went through. The number and types of emotional responses, both comfortable and uncomfortable, fluctuated weekly and occurred simultaneously in various combinations. Even when similar emotional responses were identified, students connected differently to the course content. This could be explained by different starting points both students had when entering the course. The findings add to past work by identifying a variety and complexity of emotional responses of white student teachers during a CRT based course and can be used to create course conditions to prepare teachers for contributing to anti-racist education.     

Rethinking assumptions of demographic privilege: Diversity among White preservice teachers

In this study, White preservice teachers engaged in a dialogue circle around issues of race and racism in the classroom. Evidence indicated a need to reevaluate and diversify the ways in which each participant embodied and enacted Whiteness. The participants are compared to generalizations of White preservice teachers found in the literature. Findings are presented in the form of racial development biographies co-written with the participants. Implications include being more specific and individual in the preparation of White preservice teachers and rethinking assumptions in the field of Multicultural Teacher Education.     

文化批评视阈下的体裁分析研究图景

伯明翰学派文化批评理论洞察话语实践中权力与意识形态的运作,也体察结构性宰制和主体性协商与逆反之间的张力。从文化批评视角考察体裁分析三大流派:悉尼学派具有语言分析的优势,但需配合文化批评的"理论优势"对生活政治性地介入;专门用途英语学派着重语篇目的、功能的解读,也日益重视引入社会批判的维度;新修辞学派关注业务性语篇的写作,弱化了文化批评的立场。传统语言学强调真理性和规约性的逻辑,文化批评则秉持建构性与主体性的旨向。     

Professionalism and performativity: the feminist challenge facing early years practitioners

In this discussion paper, I seek to understand the complex interaction between notions of ‘professionalism’ and gendered identity constructions against the backdrop of increased state regulation and demands for performativity in the early years. I seek to explore the ways in which ‘teacher professionalism’ is constructed by government and how this transcends into a ‘discourse of derision’, which then becomes a subtle, yet powerful, means of controlling this occupational group. I conclude by presenting an alternative feminist conceptual framework for assessing the gendered nature of identity formation, and as an opportunity to consider the role agency can play when seeking to resist/renegotiate the rapid and powerful policy reform agenda in the early years.

Motherhood and the Construction of “Mommy Identity”: Messages about Motherhood and Face Negotiation

Sports media depictions of the Yankees and Red Sox have produced ironic team personae that can best be understood through the lens of Fisher's (1973 Fisher , W. R. ( 1973 ). Reaffirmation and subversion of the American Dream . Quarterly Journal of Speech , 59 , 160 – 167 . doi: 10.1080/00335637309383164 [Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) materialistic and moralistic American dreams. In this article, the author traces the interaction of Burke's first three tropes—metaphor, metonymy, and synecdoche—in sports news coverage of the Yankees and Red Sox from 2000–2010 to explain the discursive construction of the teams' ironic personae. Collectively, media emphasis on money metaphors, the Yankees' lucrative 21st century stadium, and a militaristic owner align the team persona with a materialistic, aggressive economic competition model, whereas the Red Sox are represented by metaphors of frugality, a classic stadium, and familial “Idiots” to create a moralistic, cooperative image of the organization. The teams' personae are ultimately created and sustained through the tropological cycle and the dialectical interaction of the rivals.     

隐喻词语国俗语义产生的认知基础

从认知角度探讨植物词语的国俗语义中蕴含的这种特殊的看待世界的方法和角度,即国俗语义产生的认知基础.指出植物词语国俗语义的形成、发展过程实际上是古人所创作的诗歌隐喻逐渐向日常生活中的常规性隐喻演变的一个动态的过程.在这个过程中,国俗语义被不断地丰富加深,植物词语本身的内涵也得到升华.     

解读《告诉我杀谁》中文化身份迷失问题

在短篇故事《告诉我杀谁》中,奈保尔以第一人称的口吻讲述了一个前殖民地人的生存状态,以及他们在这种环境下的身份求证过程。本文运用当代后殖民文化理论,以文化身份的视角,通过分析主人公追寻自我文化身份到迷失自我的过程,探讨了这些前殖民地人面对西方文化的侵略和渗透,在文化归属问题上的困惑和迷失,揭示出放弃本土文化而一味追求西方文化不仅不能给自己带来一个新的身份,反而会导致人格的分裂和自我身份的迷失。     

In the shadow of whiteness: (re)exploring connections between history, enacted culture, and identity in a digital divide initiative

Who we are, our identities, as educators and learners cannot be considered separately from our histories and cultures. As such, many attempts at improving education for historically marginalized minority groups often revolve around finding ways to connect youth culture to curricula. What remains largely unexamined, however, are the history, culture, and identities of White educators and how these forces necessarily impact the ways in which curricula are designed for youth of color. By reconsidering DeGennaro and Brown’s article “Youth Voices: Exploring Connections between History, Enacted Culture and Identity in a Digital Divide Initiative” through a lens of Whiteness, this article aims to illustrate that the histories and identities of African–American learners are dialectically related to the histories and identities of White educators. However, because Whiteness tends to be invisible, White educators have the privilege of not examining who they are and where they come from as part of their own identity development during the teaching and learning process. This article invites White educators to question what it means to educate youth of color by recognizing their own Whiteness as a powerful force in shaping pedagogical activities. By understanding both themselves and their students as racialized, cultural actors, White educators can begin to develop curricula that are truly empowering for minority youth.

彼得·凯里小说认同问题研究缘起

彼得·凯里的小说创作有对殖民历史、民族主义的反思,有对澳大利亚当下幸福生活方式神话的解构,有对现代澳大利亚人自我认同的探讨。追寻凯里小说中的认同迷踪,我们可以看到澳大利亚国家认同如何从含混走向澄明,民族认同如何在危机中出现转机,文化认同如何在困境中走向超越,自我认同如何关联现代性反思和现代人的焦虑。从作家的生活经历,作品反映的殖民历史和认同现实,以及澳大利亚历史上的民族主义这三个方面分析缘何可以从认同问题入手来研究凯里的小说。     

从“白马非马”看同一律的运用

同一律是逻辑思维的基本规律之一,它在理论上对我们的思维过程提出了要求,在实际生活中对我们的语言表达给予了指导。\"白马非马\"尽管发生在战国时期,但是它论证的结果却与我们的常识不符,所以运用同一律的角度对其进行分析。使人们不仅能识别他人在语言表达中的陷阱,也在使用语言时更加谨慎,而且对我们的语言表达也给予了指导。
