English and Enlightenment     

Peter Medway 《Changing English: An International Journal of English Teaching》2010,17(1):3-12

English is best advanced by being relocated within the central aims of education, which in turn need to be drawn from Enlightenment values. Central among the latter is knowledge. The article argues that the least obviously ‘factual’ side of English – novels and poetry – contributes to knowledge in direct and indirect ways. These include conveying sorts of knowledge that can’t be expressed propositionally, giving a sense of other subjectivities, ‘reporting’ on unfamiliar social worlds and developing the conceptual apparatus through which we gain knowledge. Enlightenment attitudes are promoted through literature’s encouragement of philosophical reflection and resistance to current forms of instrumentalism strengthened.  相似文献

张勇 《云南师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2006,38(4):95-98

本文从说话人的姿态、小说的历史和功能、小说家的修养三方面对《新编醉翁谈录》所包含的“小说”理论进行了研究：从概念上论证了“小说”的口头艺术特征,从根源上分析了“小说”产生的历史和人性的动力,从功能上对“小说”的叙事原则和技巧进行了归纳,从“小说家”的修养方面探讨了创作主体的叙事能力问题,因此,这是比较完整的关于《新编醉翁谈录》的“小说”理论的研究。  相似文献   

余华先锋小说与中国传统文化     

王亚平 《郧阳师范高等专科学校学报》2006,26(4):85-87

余华的先锋小说是中国先锋小说的巅峰之作。先锋与传统看似两个相悖世界,其实不然。我们试从余华小说所表达的“性恶论”与“神秘主义”中探寻传统性在余华小说中所具有的无处不在的蔓延性和无孔不入的穿透性。余华的小说创作之路正是他反抗传统又皈依传统的创作之路。  相似文献   

Selected Representations of Teachers and Teaching in Twentieth-century Anglo-Irish Fiction and Memoir: Some Literary-critical and Pedagogical Explorations     

Brian Hanratty 《Changing English: An International Journal of English Teaching》2018,25(1):29-44

This paper has two complementary objectives. After providing some theoretical perspectives on fiction generally, and on the teaching of fiction more specifically, it firstly evaluates, from a literary-critical perspective, a reasonably representative selection of the portrayal of teachers and teaching in some twentieth-century Anglo-Irish fiction and memoir. That initial, literary-critical evaluation of the texts, while focusing on aspects of both form and theme, seeks also to uncover the fascinating spectrum of models of teaching represented, some benign, but many quite dark and even, to a degree, sinister. The second half of the paper then suggests a range of pedagogical strategies which could be used, in the sixth-form classroom, to explore the richness and complexities of those portraits and of the contexts against which they are written. That in-depth pedagogical exploration is closely informed by the specifications for AS and A-level English teaching provided by two representative Examination Boards – the Council for Curriculum Examinations and Assessment (CCEA), which is based in Northern Ireland, and the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA) – and the exploration thus is linked closely to the demands and contexts for sixth-form English teaching both in Northern Ireland and in the UK as a whole.  相似文献   

来自韩松科幻小说中“异时空”的回响          下载免费PDF全文

季春雨 《唐山学院学报》2021,33(5):95-102

当代作家韩松的科幻小说几乎每一部都创造出了一个比较独立的完整时空，而且具有相对闭合的特点。多部小说之间存在相通之处，即对异空间中两性的刻写和隐喻、对超智灵魂的描述与肯定、对扭曲时空的建构以及对乌合之众的讽刺性塑造皆有动人的力量。大开大合的异时空将过去与未来无缝连接，小说人物所处的当下，宇宙变成了一个可以被修改的生命精神的载体。当代科幻小说正是在预见未来的可能性中呈现并思考过去和当下，以"异时空"的警喻来唤醒人类对失范行为的反思。  相似文献
