批评话语分析中的隐喻现象研究——以腾讯QQ致用户信为例

批评话语分析（critical discourse analysis）作为语言学中新兴发展的学派,其主要目的是通过分析人们设计的符号来揭示语篇中含而不露的意识形态。隐喻（metaphor）作为认知语言学中的一个重要理论,近年来受到国内外学者的广泛关注。隐喻与社会性之间的关系在某种程度上把认知理论与批评话语分析结合起来,使构建认知批评话语分析框架成为可能。本文以分析CDA中的隐喻现象为基点,旨在探讨构建认知批评话语分析框架的可行性与优势;发掘大众语篇背后隐藏的意识形态并呼吁读者以批评的眼光阅读此类语篇。     

Meaning Making and “The Learning Paradigm”: A Provocative Idea in Practice

Amidst the considerable literature published on institutional change in undergraduate teaching and learning, an article co-authored by Robert Barr and John Tagg in 1995 stands out. The authors offered a vision and —perhaps most importantly—gave it a memorable name, the Learning Paradigm. From Teaching to Learning—A New Paradigm for Undergraduate Education is the most frequently cited article in the history of Change. In this article, Barr blended his voice with colleagues who helped initiate Learning Paradigm programs at a public university and in a liberal arts college setting. Through multiple forms of inquiry, including discourse and metaphor analysis, they interpreted the shift from teaching to learning and speculate about its future.     

Obama and the ‘Arab Spring’: desire,hope and the manufacture of disappointment. Implications for a transformative pedagogy

For a period, in the run up to the election (2007–2008) and the months after the election, the name ‘Obama’ signified hope for millions, not just in America but across the world. As the hope turned to disappointment, the financial crisis deepened and the Arab Spring renewed a call for a ‘humanity’ that could transcend the differences of nations and faiths. What can be learnt from such events about the pedagogies of hope, disappointment and public action? Are there lessons for a transformative pedagogy, an education that could underpin and continuously create the conditions for a politics of freedom and social justice? A range of print, broadcast and digital/Internet news media is analysed to explore the political/rhetorical/pedagogical strategies already set into play that ‘manufacture disappointment’ in order to undermine and negate the transformative, transgressive symbolic significance of ‘Obama’ and thus manage the theme of change to reassert the same.     

对《龙江河镉污染事件》的批评性语篇分析

文章以Halliday系统功能语法中的分类、及物性和主位结构为工具,对《龙江河镉污染事件》报告展开批评性语篇分析。结果表明该文的及物过程多与地方治污绩效有关,词汇选择带明显的颂扬色彩,推进结构立足于行政部门形象塑造,缺少对污染事态本身的客观报告与深入反思,进而导致舆论引导效果适得其反。     

教育话语分析：教育研究的新范式

教育话语分析是指通过对教育话语的考察与分析,探寻教育真理、指导教育实践的过程.教育话语分析强调在历史和社会两个向度上开展教育研究,在解读话语意义的同时考察教育话语与社会的演变与互动;教育话语分析采取批判和多元的立场,洞察教育话语背后的力量与真实性,强调话语研究的语境与解释性.教育话语分析的基本过程包括话语主题的选取、话语生成与作用机制分析、话语解释与指导话语实践.教育话语分析作为一种新的研究范式,有利于凸显教育研究的实践旨趣,促进教育研究的人本化,以及强调教育研究结果的语境化.     

教育学范式论

库恩范式是指某一学科的理论根基、第一原理,其重要作用在于它范例性地指出了某一学科领域的研究方向、程序、方法、标准等。在一个范式指导下的研究就是范式研究,这是一门学科成熟的标志。研究教育学的范式具有重大意义,如可以结束学派纷争,停止理论移植与嫁接,从而使后继研究者不再从零开始研究。当前,教育学处于前范式时期。要建立教育学的范式,应从教育学的第一问题教育是什么出发,因为教育不是一种活动,而是无数人为活动的泛称,没有一个客观、绝对的标准来判断某种活动是不是教育。     

大众话语观照下的女性角色探析

讨论大众话语观照下的女性角色,就要分析女性话语和女性话语权。本文结合理论与现实,阐述了女性话语权缺失导致女性角色定位两难的情形,以及在现实的大众话语下,女性如何进行自我角色定位,对女性自身和大众话语传播的媒介都提出了富有意义的建构。     

“Beyond Bali”: a transformative education approach for developing community resilience to violent extremism

The Bali bombings of 2002 and 2005 confronted Australia and its neighbours directly for the first time with the dangers of violent extremism. Since then, the Bali Peace Park Association (BPPA), consisting of former victims, their families and other interested parties, has been lobbying for the creation of the “Bali Peace Park” to be built on one of the bombing sites. Peace parks have been conceived as community-driven projects against violent extremism, and the planned Bali Peace Park embodies this principle. In 2012, the BPPA initiated “Beyond Bali”, an ambitious and highly relevant curriculum development project, and secured funding from the Australian Attorney General’s Department. Drawing on the expertise of a counter-terrorism expert, two university education experts and the first-hand experiences of victims and their families, the Beyond Bali curriculum package was created. Beyond Bali covers a range of topics and activities, including social science studies and ethical dilemma learning, is suitable for Years 8 and 9 students studying the Australian Curriculum, and is available for free from the BPPA: http://www.balipeacepark.com.au/beyond-bali-education-package.html. In this paper we position Beyond Bali as a transformative education resource within the fields of peace and global education and argue that it embodies UNESCO’s “learning to be” principle.     

Should education be transformative?

ABSTRACT

It has become commonplace within the educational research community to invoke the transformative power of education. The call to adopt a ‘transformative’ approach to teaching and learning can be heard in fields as different as adult education and school leadership and as estranged as social justice education and educational psychology. While there is undoubtedly great promise in the idea of transformative education, the fact that it involves deep psychological restructuring on the part of the student requires ethical justification. In this article, I analyze the three most pressing ethical problems that arise within a transformative educational environment: the problems of transformative consent, controversial direction and transformative trauma. In the concluding section, I argue that this ethical analysis urges us to adopt an approach to transformative education as a process of initiation.     

‘Just Say No’: public dissent over sexuality education and the Canadian national imaginary

ABSTRACT

Scholars of sexuality have argued that ‘moral panics’ about sexuality often stand in for broader conflicts over nationality and belonging. Canada has spent decades cultivating a national image founded on multiculturalism and democratic equality. The Ontario sexuality education curriculum introduced in 2015 drew audible condemnation from a variety of groups. Drawing from Critical Discourse Analysis and Critical Race Theory, we argue that the public discourse surrounding these protests exposed the limits of Canadian pluralism, fuelling a meta-debate about the ‘Canadianness’ of recent immigrants and the incompatibility of liberal values with those of non-Westerners, especially Muslims. We explain this in terms of contextual factors such as Ontario’s publicly funded Catholic school system and anti-Muslim xenophobia in the post-9/11 era. Our analysis speaks to the importance of intersectional social justice efforts as part of the movement for comprehensive sex education.
