Interactive Storytelling: From the Book of Genesis

Keith Park, advisory teacher for Sense (the National Deafblind Rubella Association) in Greenwich and Lewisham, London, has written about his approach to interactive storytelling for BJSE before. This article describes a series of poetry workshops based on chapters 37 to 45 of the Book of Genesis (the story of Joseph and his family) using the text of the King James Bible of 1611. The workshops took place at Charlton School in Greenwich between September and November 2002. The full text of the Genesis workshops, with a clear exposition of their implementation, is provided here but the article begins with a restatement of the principles of interactive storytelling. The importance of developing curriculum access for pupils with multi-sensory impairments while simultaneously supporting staff who work with these young people in schools is emphasised. Keith Park discusses the relevance of the circle concept in storytelling and the strong focus, in the poetry workshops, on rhythm. He goes on to evaluate the impact of the workshops, both in terms of staff confidence and through examples of the pupils' responses mapped against the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) framework for recognising the attainments of pupils with learning difficulties. The article concludes with some indications of further developments in this exciting and innovative area of practice.     

《管子》经济类记事的文学透视

《管子》中经济类记事的产生有一定的历史基础,它是商业发达的齐国,用自己成熟的经济理论内安朝政、外服诸侯的一种大胆设想。作为阐发经济思想的道具,它们具有明显虚构的性质。而且,这类记事存在着结构模式化的特征,经济思想表述中蕴含着诡异的情节。     

“There’s nothing I hate more than a racist:” (Re)centering whiteness in American Horror Story: Coven

This article examines race and racism in the popular cable horror-drama American Horror Story: Coven. Centered around a feud between a white witch coven and a black, voodoo group of witches, Coven overtly deals with the issue of racism, but presents racism as a phenomenon contained in the past; something that does not happen anymore. Using critical post-race theory and scholarship on colorblind racism, whiteness, as well as black feminist theory, I show that although the narrative of Coven explicitly decries racism, it simultaneously invests in colorblind racist narratives and dialogue. Whiteness is central in Coven, operating through discourse that ignores racial difference and contemporary forms of oppression and erasure. Coven uses graphic depictions of violence against black bodies, makes explicit connections between black sexuality and animals, and uses exotic and aggressive stereotypes of black women to tell its story. Thus, Coven’s narrative both condemns racism and relies on it. This article shows that the contemporaneous presentations of explicit anti-racist dialogue and racist imagery work to (re)place whiteness at the center of Coven, a TV show that purports to forward a message of equality and justice for those who are different.

为什么我们中国人缺乏创新——兼谈文化与教育的关系

在近现代史上，中国没有重大的发明和创造。造成这一现象的原因可能是社会、经济、政治、历史等各方面的因素，但笔者认为文化上的原因是最深刻的。大一统的政治体制、官办教育、科举制、功利型的应试教育，知识分子不愿独立自主等习惯性的做法都影响了人们思想进步和科技创新。教育既传承文化、也革新文化。在以前的数百年里，中国教育起的文化传承功能大于革新功能，故在近代史上对社会的进步和革新没有起到应起的作用。基于这一观察，为在中国推动思想进步和科技创新，我认为应首先改良中国教育赖以生存的文化土壤。
