Disability hate crime: persecuted for difference

This article briefly discusses the long history of violence towards disabled people which sets the context for an analysis of the modern‐day form of violence known as disability hate crime (DHC). People who look or behave differently to others often find themselves victims of violent crimes. The language used to describe disabled people contributes to their diminished position in society. A brief review of definitions of DHC and exploration of news media coverage of the Pilkington and Askew DHC cases are undertaken. Cultural scapegoating of disabled people is discussed. Disabled people are perceived as contributing to their own victimisation, the lack of support afforded to them by society and the failure of systems meant to protect them. As long as disabled people remain outside mainstream society, they are unlikely to achieve the same levels of respect and protection from crime that other groups in society are afforded.     

重构男女两性在自然文化中的生存模式--论劳伦斯中篇小说《狐》的主题

劳伦斯在中篇小说<狐>中,通过一男二女错综复杂的感情纠葛,否定了现代人男将不男、女犹不女、阴阳两极严重失调的悲剧性的生存模式,探讨了重构男女关系的现代性问题.     

理想主义在劳伦斯作品中的体现

戴维·赫伯特·劳伦斯是现代英国文学的一位大师,他一生创作诸多。其成就的核心是小说,表现了劳伦斯其人和他的人生观世界观。理想主义表现为他对人类生活价值的期盼和对工业文明的评判,在其多部作品中都得到了充分的体现。     

《儿子与情人》蕴涵的哲学观

D．H．劳伦斯的小说映射出他的哲学观,但其随笔和信函更直接和更真实地表征了他的哲学思想。他的哲学观与古希腊哲学家赫拉克利特的观点相应和,把世界的本原喻为永恒变化、燃烧着的火,不仅象征着宇宙间普遍存在的对立统一原则和发展变化规律,而且象征着人性的本能,其自传体小说《儿子与情人》较好地表征了该观点。     

对英国媒介教育“保护主义”的诊断与超越——大卫·帕金翰的媒介教育思想及其启示

大卫.帕金翰是英国著名的媒介教育思想家,他在基于历史事实和时代发展状况的基础上,对英国媒介教育中的传统保护主义进行了诊断,指出"童年之死"是传统保护主义的最大恶果,并就此提出了"超越保护主义"的思想观点。在"超越保护主义"的设计上,帕金翰要求为儿童赋权,使媒介回归现实世界,成为可自主支配的教育资源。     

从《块肉余生述》看林纾的文化翻译策略

林译小说许多堪称名著名译。文章主要以《块肉余生述》解析林纾翻译中潜藏的文化策略,认为林纾的《块肉余生述》对西洋文学的中国传统文化解读与诠释契合时代环境和读者期待视野,获得了巨大成功,甚至被认为超越了原作。     

论劳伦斯的“血性意识”

“血性意识”是英国作家D·H劳伦斯的基本性观念。其主要涵义是反对理性对性爱的干涉,追求灵肉和谐结合、“星式均衡”的男女两性关系。劳伦斯从性这一特殊角度批判了资本主义工业文明对人性的扭曲,并探索建立自由健康的男女两性关系。但是劳伦斯所谈的灵肉合一,星式均衡是抽象的,没有触及到资本主义社会的本质,因而批判是乏力的。而他大量赤裸裸的性描写则是非常具体的,有很大的负面作用。特别是他想通过改善男女关系进而改良社会,更是本末倒置。     

解读劳伦斯《逾矩的罪人》中的女性形象

《逾矩的罪人》是劳伦斯作品中一部颇具现代风格的婚外恋小说。用卡尔.荣格的原型分析理论解读《逾距的罪人》中的悍妇和大母亲这两位主要女性人物的原型,揭示劳伦斯在作品中所表达的父权制社会中,男性对女性的期待、憎恨和恐惧的矛盾心理,以及女性意识对男性权威的挑战与征服。     

劳伦斯与沈从文乡土情怀之比较

英国作家D.H.劳伦斯与中国作家沈从文都以自己的家乡为背景创作了大批优秀的"乡土作品"。稍事比较,不难看出劳伦斯与沈从文有着截然不同的乡土情怀:劳伦斯以犀利的笔调贬斥家乡习气之庸俗;沈从文以溢美之言赞颂故里民风之淳朴。然而,这种迥然不同的乡土情怀背后,却深藏着两位作家对生命本真回归作为的向往。     

David Foster Wallace on dumb jocks and athletic genius

David Foster Wallace was genuinely troubled by what he perceived to be a serious incongruity in the mental lives of elite athletes. To perform with grace and beauty, elite athletes must be ‘geniuses,’ yet in conversation and prose these same athletes often exhibit such vapidity and banality that he was tempted to simply write them off as unintelligent or worse. In response to this puzzle, Wallace developed different philosophical conceptions of the elite athlete aimed at bridging the gap between genius and dumb jock. For Wallace, this was an exercise designed to help him live a more compassionate life.
