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.     

《西厢记》与《红楼梦》爱情主题的异同

作为我国古代以爱情为主题的文学作品,《西厢记》与《红楼梦》都歌颂了男女间纯真专一的爱情,批判了门第观念。但由于作品产生的背景及时代不同,所表现的程度又不尽相同,《红楼梦》较之《西厢记》,其爱情主题更深刻,更有意义。

《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。     

高适《燕歌行》的深厚意蕴与精湛技巧

从高适创作的艺术风格与本诗的形象体系,探索了《燕歌行》思想内涵的丰富性和深刻性,及其艺术表现的结构美和修辞美。并且根据本诗中关于唐军主将本质性格的描写,结合《新唐书》中《张九龄传》、《张守珪传》的记载,明确高适创作此诗决不是为了讽刺张守珪,而是为了讽刺安禄山,由此,《燕歌行》的认识价值不可低估。     

“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.
