Introduction: Intercultural Studies within Central States

The study of intercultural communication (IC) has a long history in the Central States Communication Association (CSCA). Some of the earliest work in IC has come from universities in the CSCA region, such as Indiana University (William Starosta) and University of Minnesota (Vernon Jensen and Rosita Albert). Since the inception of the Intercultural Communication Interest Group within CSCA in the early 1990s, IC scholars have contributed immensely to the discipline by studying different aspects of the relationship between communication and culture. Several active IC scholars present their recollections of the development of IC research in this issue.     

The discoverability of award-winning undergraduate research in history: Implications for academic libraries

Making scholarly information visible to web search engines is an ongoing challenge, and undergraduate research is no exception. Using a sample of award-winning undergraduate history papers and journals, the authors searched Google, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, and the authors' institutional repository to gauge the difficulty of locating these works. Given that many of these works were not easily found, results suggest that libraries and their institutions could be doing more to increase the discoverability of undergraduate research. Based on the success stories observed in this study, we offer strategies to libraries and librarians for increasing the visibility of undergraduate student research.     

“文史者,讥评文人之得失也”语源辨正

钱基博先生等在引用"《中兴艺文志》:‘文史者,讥评文人之得失也’"一语追溯文史之名的缘起时,将《中兴艺文志》认为是《中兴书目》,后为众多学者沿袭引用。另外,亦有学者将《中兴艺文志》认为是《中兴馆阁书目》或者《中兴馆阁艺文志》,然此三种说法皆非是。《文献通考》中所称的《中兴艺文志》实为《中兴国史艺文志》之简称,"文史者,所以讥评文人之得失也"一语应为《中兴艺文志》文史类小序中语。由于该书已佚,而《中兴馆阁书目》作为南宋官修书目较为著名,从而致后世学者误将二书混淆。

《左传》预言发微

预言贯穿《左传》全书，这是其叙事的一大特色。按其预测的依据将预言分为两类，并对其中通过观察人事所作的预言进行重点分析。从中可以看出作者的历史观、伦理道德观和劝善惩恶的史学见解，。这些预言在全书的结构、叙事中也起到了很重要的作用，研究《左传》的文学成就应予重视。     

《儒林外史》丧葬礼仪描写文化透视

《儒林外史》涉及了大量的丧葬礼仪描写。从民俗对小说创作的影响、从民俗与社会生活关系等角度,对本小说中的丧葬礼俗描写做了多角度的观照。丧葬礼仪描写的价值在于以浓郁悲情氛围形成独特的表现手段,揭示了明清时代传统人文精神的缺失,反映了明清奢靡趋利的社会风气和下层贫困的社会现实。     

刍议西方文学传统对司各特历史小说的影响

司各特的历史小说有典型的浪漫主义特征,最明显的标志就是虚构。这种特征的历史小说在欧洲文坛出现与西方古老的文学传统一脉相承。可以说司各特正是接过传统,厚积而薄发,才成为具有开创地位的历史小说家的。
