Subject English as citizenship education

This article is equal parts educational history and political philosophy. We aim to remind readers that subject English (SE) and indeed state education emerge from the contradictory impulses of classical liberalism, and that, more than simply resembling citizenship education, SE emerges in the first instance as a form of highly normativising citizenship education. We further argue that, following England's recent educational reforms initiated by former Education Secretary Michael Gove, SE continues to be framed in moral terms consistent with citizenship education—again, of a highly normativising sort. England's current educational policy generally, and specifically the framing of SE, employs the language of liberal possibility, while ultimately espousing an invidious exclusionary and assimilationist politics. The framing of SE, moreover, is one that misrepresents the supposedly ‘rich and varied literary heritage’ it is supposed to exemplify and promote. The current political landscape in which the study of literature takes place is one where a crisis of liberalism is manifest (in terms of populism, radicalisation or apathy). However, we do not believe the answer is to retreat into a sealed, hermetic canon that excludes the reality that England and English literature are fundamentally multicultural and polyethnic. SE will be the poorer for not fully acknowledging and embodying this, for not enabling students to imaginatively and critically engage with characters and experiences that reflect both the present and long-standing diversity of English society, as well as its present and long-standing inequalities.

黑人性神话与他者身份的建构及其解构——从《土生子》中的跨种族性关系谈起

理查德.赖特的代表作《土生子》被誉为美国黑人文学史上的里程碑式作品、＂抗议小说＂的扛鼎之作,因此学界针对《土生子》的研究多集中于黑白二元对立上,着重探讨的是美国社会制度和种族歧视对美国黑人心灵的戕害及其灾难性后果。在此基础上,本文尝试采用新的视角,以跨种族性关系为切入点,重新审视小说主人公别格的悲剧成因,并且通过分析书中白人如何利用虚假的黑人＂性神话＂构建黑人的他者身份,揭示别格杀害白人姑娘玛丽的讽刺性寓意,彰显＂抗议小说之父＂赖特解构黑人＂性神话＂的创作智慧。

《鸽灾》是路易丝·厄德里克的近期力作,描述了在美国种族主义的压迫下,印第安民族所经受的悲惨遭遇。本文聚焦于小说中“处私刑”这一核心事件,援引费伦的叙事判断为理论框架,从阐释判断、道德判断、审美判断三个方面对小说加以研究分析,力图探求小说中体现的种族主义压迫下印第安民族的生存状态、异化的伦理观以及小说中体现的富含民族创伤的修辞美学。     

女性主义伦理学视野下道德教育的性别和谐

女性主义伦理学研究表明,道德是有“性别”之分的,男女两性在道德价值重心、思维方式和发展方式上均有差异。但道德教育理论和实践中客观存在的性别歧视,导致道德教育的性别失衡和性别冲突,从而限制了道德教育的发展。实现道德教育的性别和谐应该消除性别歧视,重新定义道德和有道德的人,使道德教育的核心概念包容女性气质。在此基础上,重建道德教育大厦,使其矗立于理性和情感的根基之上。

拒绝傲慢与偏见:体育教师受歧视现象、根源及消解

运用文献资料法、问卷调查法等研究方法对歧视体育教师的现象进行分析。研究认为:体育教师受歧视现象的持续发生,折射出了学校体育教育的缺失。体育教师受到歧视的根源在于传统文化观念的影响、社会对体育教育的偏见、学校体育政策的偏颇、教师职业认同的迷失、个人行为形象失范等。体育教师受歧视现象的消解路径:提升体育教师社会地位,完善学校体育法律法规,优化大众媒介舆论管理,加强体育教师个人修养等。只有如此,才能从根本上扭转和消除体育教师受歧视现象的再发生。

Perceived workplace discrimination,coping and psychological distress among unskilled Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia

Migrant workers face many migration-related stressors that may affect their mental health. This study examines workplace discrimination in relation to psychological distress, and the role of coping among unskilled Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia. In a sample of 119 workers (39 males and 80 females), results of a hierarchical regression analysis showed that workplace discrimination was positively related to psychological distress. Both problem-oriented coping and emotion/avoidance coping were predictive of distress. While problem-oriented coping was associated with lower distress, emotional/avoidance coping was related with higher distress levels. In addition, low emotion/avoidance coping was found to buffer the adverse effect of discrimination on distress. These results are discussed in relation to the literature on coping as well as the social-cultural context of the migrants and the host country.
