Mindfulness‐Based Design Practice (MBDP): A Novel Learning Framework in Support of Designers within Twenty‐First‐Century Higher Education

While the interconnected and technological nature of the twenty‐first century can bring about many positive global connections, the importance of prioritising the development of the ‘inner world’ of designers is receiving less attention; similarly, time for contemplation, reflection and stillness is becoming scarcer. This article discusses mindfulness training from the Buddhist perspective, and how it can act as a pathway to personal introspection and as a supportive method for mental illnesses. With a special focus on design education, it discusses a novel framework, Mindfulness‐Based Design Practice (MBDP), and how it can potentially offer opportunities for design students to foster positive mind qualities such as mindfulness, compassion, resilience, and recognising the true nature of phenomena for becoming more ethical designers. Therefore, this article looks to bridge the gap between the significant lack of contemplative mindfulness‐based methods within the higher design education sector and the increasing mental health crisis within that sector. Thus, the primary concern of the MBDP is to advance both the individual and the collective development of the contemporary designer’s mind. Referring to the mind of the designer as the ‘inner designer’, this article forms an unfolding dialogue of the novel framework MBDP in support of mindful learning within twenty‐first‐century design education.

浅谈文征明写意花鸟画风格成因

文征明花鸟画的成就其实并不逊于其山水画,特别是写意花鸟画,运用简练概括的笔墨,删减了繁琐的枝节,使对象的形质和神采都得到了恰当的表现,朴实无华却耐人寻味,从而开创了写意花鸟画的先河。这种风格的确立,是与文氏个人的性格、成长经历、师承关系、技法突破以及创作理念等方面息息相关的。     

平等对话：凸显主体地位的语文阅读教学策略

在语文阅读教学中,学生与文本（作者）、学生与学生、教师与学生、教师与文本几种类型的对话是交互进行的。为此,“对话式”的阅读教学,必须处理好以下三组关系：对对话的问题,必须兼顾文本内容与形式;对对话的生命,必须确保对话主体的平等;对对话的难点,必须正确处理文本的价值取向与学生独特体验的关系。要在语文阅读教学过程中,更加凸显学生在阅读教学中的主体地位,促进学生个性的发展。     

反思对话教学的技术主义倾向

尽管对话教学是教学改革的基本方向,但它不必然带来教师与学生的精神自由和教学民主。倘对话教学陷入技术主义,必然会产生虚假对话、空洞对话和僵化对话,从而导致对教师和学生新的控制和压迫。我国当前课程与教学改革迫在眉睫的任务是走出对话教学的技术主义误区。

《黛西蕾的婴孩》之女性主义文体学解读

女性主义文体学是20世纪90年代中期由美国学者米尔斯提出来的一个新的文体学流派,研究作品中性别歧视和性别差异。通过对命名、情境、爱情片断和对话等女性主义文体学重点元素进行分析,可以看出肖班在《黛西蕾的婴孩》中形象刻画出黛西蕾作为妻子在家庭和社会中的地位：黛西蕾意为＂被渴望的＂谕示着她总在满足他人的意愿,自然情境和社会情境都将黛西蕾置于被动和被否定地位,爱情片断体现出她的无助,对话内容隐含结局。所有这些都反映出黛西蕾是一位传统妻子遵循着父权社会设定的标准,不得不接受命运的安排。
