Roma women’s higher education participation: whose responsibility?

There are striking gaps between Roma and non-Roma higher education (HE) participation rates, with less than 1% of Roma possessing a tertiary-level qualification [United Nations Development Programme, World Bank and European Commission. 2011a. “The Situation of Roma in 11 EU Member States.” Accessed 3 April 2015. http://issuu.com/undp_in_europe_cis/docs/_roma_at_a_glance_web/1#download]. As the Decade of Roma Inclusion (2005–2015) closes, this renders the present a salient moment to reflect on Roma students’ HE experiences. Widening educational access for marginalised groups raises specific questions about where responsibility for doing so lies – with tensions between individualised articulations of raising aspiration and notions of collective responsibility framed in a social justice agenda. Drawing on interviews with five Roma women students, this paper unpacks the contradictions between desiring access to HE for individual self-betterment and concurrent pulls towards educating for the wider benefit of ‘improving’ Roma communities. Using Ahmed’s [2012. On Being Included: Racism and Diversity in Institutional Life. Durham, North Carolina: Duke University Press] work on institutional belonging, we explore the specifically gendered nature of these narratives in how ‘doubly’ marginalised bodies are positioned as outsiders, in receipt of an educational gift.

“文化殖民”与中国教育发展战略选择

长期以来,借鉴或采用西方国家教育发展的理念与做法,已成为中国教育发展战略的基本选择。由此,不仅造成基本国情、民族文化、本土教育资源等的"集体遗忘",还造成思维方式的单一、认识的片面、多元思想的消解。从后殖民主义、本土知识的研究来看,中国教育发展战略的选择必须要有明确的"身份确定",克服二元对立的思维模式,摆脱文化殖民主义的束缚,走出一条中国式的教育发展之路。

当今文学批评中的语境问题管见

＂语境＂成为文学批评与研究之中的一个常用术语,不仅是因为语言问题,而且是因为文学问题历来都不是孤立的,甚至还可能与许多非文学的问题相关。因此,从特定的文学语境出发或将文学放在特定语境之中进行评介就成了批评界司空见惯的做法。这种文学批评,我们暂且称之为语境批评。然而在语境批评之中,＂语境＂给批评者提供某种论证视角和理论支持的同时,也常常使批评者面临诸多的质疑与困惑。     

对《史记》殷、周、秦起源神话的考量

神话,是原始先民们留下的宝贵文化遗产。司马迁在《史记》《殷本纪》、《周本纪》、《秦本纪》三篇本纪的开端,分别引用了殷、周、秦起源的神话传说。这些充满神秘色彩的神话,蕴藏着耐人寻味的文化内涵。研究探讨这些神话传说,既可以使我们进一步认识《史记》的伟大价值,又可以挖掘其蕴藏着的文化元素,从而探究原始社会的奥秘。

On the Culture Elements in Translation

As a form of cultural exchanges,it isn’t avoidable for translation and culture to be closely connected and influenced by each other.In the translation process,target work is influenced by all kinds of cultural elements so that target work is different from source work in some degree.The content of source work remains the same,but the form of that is changed more or less as the result of the target language culture.Sometimes the culture of the source language and that of the target language may be on equal footing complementary but sometimes they might be unequal because of their different position of comparative advantages,one culture is neglected.The cultural elements of translator have a great influence on the target work.The target work is the recreation of the translator.
