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

Ellen Hurst-Harosh 《Africa Education Review》2020,17(1):35-50

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.  相似文献

语境化:大众文化研究的一个理论问题     

崔欣  孙瑞祥 《天津职业院校联合学报》2003,5(3):90-93

大众文化是文化的一种特殊形态 ,有其特指性和时代性。大众文化理论研究是一个高度语境化命题 ,移用西方理论必须要经历本土化洗礼。当代中国大众文化批评话语的错位 ,反映在对西方批判理论的机械套用和对“中国已经产生了后现代主义”的轻率判断。这是文化自觉与理论创新意识缺乏的表征  相似文献

“Montrose” child life protection unit: A treatment and assessment model in child abuse intervention     

Jane Brazier B.A. Dip. Social Work  Alison A. Davis RGN  RMN RCHN DCHN MCN  Jan Shier B.A. Applied Science 《Child abuse & neglect》1982,6(4):389-394

In New South Wales, Australia, the Department of Youth and Community Services is empowered by statute to deal with cases of child abuse and neglect. Its child protection services include the Montrose Child Life Protection Unit which is designed to support and complement the work of both the Intake Service, Field Service and most importantly the work of child protective facilities in the community. The service has intake crisis counselling and call out resources; maintains a central register; provides a facility for crisis residential care for children and families, diagnostic assessment, and a day programme. The emphasis in service delivery in New South Wales in the area of child protection is on multidisciplinary intervention. The Department of Youth and Community Services is involved in promoting interagency cooperation and co-ordination. Over and above a philosophy that underlies service delivery is the Montrose Unit's involvement in sensitising the community to the difficult and often demanding role of parenting. Montrose represents an attempt to create an environment where parenting myths can be examined from a reality base and strategies implemented for reeducation.  相似文献   

语言环境在模糊修辞中的作用     

王艳娟 《零陵学院学报》2004,(8)

模糊修辞是一门应用科学、边缘科学,它作用于语言活动,而本身的模糊性质决定了它在很大程度上要借重语言环境来表情达意,并作为判断语言使用优劣的标准。没有语境就没有模糊修辞。  相似文献

普罗普的故事形态学及列维．斯特劳斯的批评     

周福岩 《周口师范学院学报》2001,18(1):54-57

普罗普的故事形态学研究强调了系统描写相对于发生学研究的优先性。然而其角色和功能分析取消了内容成分，导致了文本的极端缩减。20世纪60年代，列维*斯特劳斯针对普罗普的方法问题撰文申明结构与形式的差异，指出了普罗普故事研究中的形式主义因素特征。他认为形式主义的困境在于它不能重构其本身由以出发的经验。就口承文化传统研究而言，普罗普的故事形态学及斯特劳斯的批评在对民间叙事作品的描述与分类及文本与语境的关系等问题上给人以多方启示。普罗普试图捕捉内在于民间故事的自治原则，而斯特劳斯则试图发现隐匿于作品(如神话)背后的观念形态。  相似文献   

Neoliberal practices amidst social justice orientations: global citizenship education in South Korea     

Hye Seung Cho  Jacqueline Mosselson 《Compare》2018,48(6):861-878

Abstract

Global citizenship education (GCE) positions itself on the global arena as a transformative social justice oriented educational curriculum that addresses the political, social, economic and cultural inequalities brought about through colonisation and neoliberalism on the global and local levels. Through an exploration of the discourse, design and delivery of GCE in the young nation-state of South Korea, we argue that, in fact, GCE reinforces and maintains the hegemonic ideals of global capitalism; core-periphery global and local relationships; and dichotomous views of poverty and inequalities. We argue that these approaches reflect South Korea’s geopolitical realities, but that attitudes towards GCE in South Korea also reflect its cultural norms and values towards working together towards a common good. Ultimately, we call for a more nuanced approach to GCE scholarship in which we move away from theoretical divisions to practical applications of social justice that work within increasingly capitalist/neoliberal interests for a more inclusive world.  相似文献   

当今文学批评中的语境问题管见     

王衡 《渭南师范学院学报》2011,(7):63-66

＂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。  相似文献
