女娲神话原型在中国当代女性文学中的置换和变形

透视中国当代女性文学的文本表层,可以发现在许多文本深处隐含着女娲神话原型。女娲神话原型在当代女性文学中的置换和变形呈现出两种不同的倾向:一是对“当代女娲”的深情礼赞;二是女娲原型的“魔幻变调”。这是女性传统文化心理积淀与女性现实处境在特殊历史阶段一次“遇合”的产物,使女性文学焕发出了深沉的艺术魅力。

赫尔曼·麦尔维尔短篇小说的真实性建构

赫尔曼·麦尔维尔创作生涯的第二阶段以短篇小说为主,在这一阶段,麦尔维尔的创作风格由旱期的浪漫主义逐渐转向现实主义,他在相对较短的篇幅里,更为集中地体现了他对特定社会问题的剖析和见解。通过对《文书巴托尔比》、《贝尼托·切雷诺》和《水手比利·巴德》三个短篇名作的分析,探讨麦尔维尔在小说中构建真实的方法,其中包括象征手法的使用,对“人性化管理”、“种族优越论”、“司法公正”等谎言的批判以及有别于全知全能的叙述方式。以此构建起来的真实是麦尔维尔短篇小说长久魅力的所在。     

Antenarrative and managerial practice

An antenarrative approach to organizational communication acknowledges the fragmented, collective, situated, and performative nature of organizational stories and storytelling. Adopting an antenarrative approach to managerial practice focuses our attention on the ways individuals manage the multi‐voiced nonlinear character of organizfitional life. Antenarrative theory and its significance for managerial practice is overviewed followed by an explication of how an organizational consultancy firm has developed systemic story making as a core practice for managing the multiple, often conflicting stories comprising organizational experience. Systemic story making raises significant issues regarding how antenarrative theory may consider the relationships among stories, inquiry, and change.     

Linguistic intergroup bias in Chinese crime stories: propaganda model vs. commercial model

This study aimed to test linguistic intergroup bias (LIB) in the Chinese media. Language abstraction of crime stories was compared between the propaganda model and the commercial model. The results revealed LIB in Chinese language and Chinese journalism. They can be explained by both motivational and cognitive mechanisms in LIB. Moreover, the study explored the impacts of two contextual factors on LIB – time and occupation. The analysis of time illustrated the development trend of Chinese journalism, where the propaganda model has been revealed to be invading and eroding the commercial model. The analysis of occupation indicated the mutual influence between language abstraction and stereotypes, and discussed its impacts over the images of particular social groups as well as the challenges it brought to the state and the Party. This study further explained how and why the journalistic models manipulate language abstraction in order to meet their communication goals as well as the political needs of social power behind them.

Educational Stories: Engaging teachers in educational theory

A common complaint among those involved in teaching the educational foundations is the reluctance of many trainee teachers to engage in issues of educational theory. This is particularly apparent with those trainees who are more concerned with managing classrooms of children than grappling with what are often abstract and difficult ideas. This paper considers the current use of educational stories as a pedagogical strategy in teacher training, and a story that has been used in this way is presented. It is argued that teachers of the educational foundations disciplines can, via stories, appeal to the opposing tensions and schemata in students’ own minds, and this engagement can be enhanced when students are confronted with broader educational debates, perspectives and proposals. Stories provide abstract concepts with a necessary tension, they suggest a way of entering the theoretical via the concrete and they show students the personal relevance of certain debates, which may have previously appeared remote and obscure. The end result is that students are challenged to make decisions about matters of fundamental importance such as the kinds of teachers they will be and about the ethical commitment they will make to teaching.
