超前与滞后的文化尴尬——中国现代主义文学本土化片论

现代主义进入中国文学由中国文化的独特接受机制进行了集体无意识的改造 ,逐渐形成非主流性、不稳定性、不完整性等特点。探究中国现代主义文学本土化的根本原因 ,要在“五四”中西思想文化冲突的大语境下 ,从社会存在、文化心理等多方面切入。中国危急历史迫切召唤启蒙 ,而严酷现实又迫使启蒙让位于救亡 ,中国社会文化土壤“滞后”于强调个体自我表现的现代主义 ,现代主义“超前”于深受传统制约的知识精英的文化心理。文化超前与滞后交错作用 ,发展与变异辩证统一     

(Dis)owning Bikram: Decolonizing vernacular and dewesternizing restructuring in the yoga wars

Undertaking analysis in the area of critical yoga studies, this article identifies two strategies of anticolonial resistance to Bikram Choudhury's copyrighting of a sequence of twenty-six yoga poses. First, it examines decolonial vernacular, which contests Western commodification of yoga through the use and misuse of terms and phrases, such as “yoga piracy” and “cultural patents,” derived from intellectual property rights, international human rights, and cultural property regimes. Second, it considers dewesternizing restructuring emerging from the creation of the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library, a database of information on yogic practice and medicine, which uses non-Western classification systems to interrupt the legal and economic structures through which patents and copyrights are enunciated. Together, these anticolonial strategies force intellectual property rights regimes to integrate Otherness, making space for the recognition of Indian agency in knowledge production.     

二战期间中国对犹太人的援助

二战期间,德奥制定的排犹政策迫使大批犹太人再次开始了大规模的逃亡生活,而中国大陆由于远离欧洲战火,自然成了当时犹太人逃避灾难的最佳地方,因此大批的犹太人或自发或有组织地来到中国避难。犹太人在华期间,中外各界人士对其进行了大量援助,使犹太人最终回到了他们的祖国———以色列。

Strategy use,listening problems,and motivation of high- and low-proficiency Chinese listeners

Building on previous listening strategy research, the author aimed to explore the differences between Chinese high-proficiency listeners (HLs) and low-proficiency listeners (LLs) on their strategy use, problems, and motivation in native language (L1) listening. It involved 1,290 Grade 7 and 1,515 Grade 9 students. Both quantitative and qualitative methods, including a listening comprehension test, questionnaires, and interviews, were adopted. The findings indicated that HLs possessed more types of strategies and used strategies more frequently and effectively than LLs. HLs not only reported fewer listening problems but also had a better awareness of listening problems and use of problem-solving strategies than LLs. Both HLs and LLs agreed with the importance of listening but showed little interest in doing listening tasks. The similarities and differences between the findings of this study and those of second-language listening research and implications for planning effective instruction to enhance native language listening proficiency are discussed.

“They Even Speak Tsotsitaal with Their Teachers at School”: The Use (and Abuse) of African Urban Youth Languages in Educational Contexts

Abstract

African Urban Youth Languages (AUYLs) are increasingly coming under the spotlight of linguists and sociolinguists across the continent, who are investigating their relationship to standard and/or vernacular varieties. Simultaneously, they are being discussed by educators and education researchers, although little has yet been published in this critical area. The difficulties for educators posed by students speaking “non-standard” varieties has been highlighted by recent studies investigating literacy and language in the classroom. This article presents an overview of some of the challenges posed to education by AUYLs. It considers recent studies of AUYLs in educational contexts from around the continent. It then presents data from South Africa which highlights different orientations towards the South African AUYL “Tsotsitaal” in educational domains. The argument is made that the position of both teachers and pupils is vulnerable, and that the legitimacy of the distinction between standard language and urban vernacular language needs to be reconsidered.
