Interactive Storytelling: From the Book of Genesis     

Keith Park 《British Journal of Special Education》2004,31(1):16-23

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.  相似文献   

《管子》经济类记事的文学透视     

耿振东 《山东教育学院学报》2006,21(2):55-58

《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。  相似文献   

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

Amanda Kay LeBlanc 《Critical Studies in Media Communication》2018,35(3):273-285

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.  相似文献

霍尔顿的成长     

赵瑞超 《怀化学院学报》2007,(2)

《麦田守望者》是公认的当代成长小说经典之一,揭示了二战后美国青少年精神上的探索与迷茫。成长小说的叙述结构相当模式化,《麦田守望者》就遵循了下面的叙事结构:厌倦——出走与迷茫——逃避与漂泊。成长的引路人也是成长小说的一个重要构件,然而,在《麦田守望者》这本小说中,却出现了引路人缺失的现象。  相似文献

《阅微草堂笔记》:一个经典文本和一种小说类型     

陈文新 《上海师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2011,(2)

《阅微草堂笔记》在中国小说史上的意义,不仅在于其自身的成就奠定了它作为一个经典文本的地位,更在于它是子部小说这样一种文类的标本。在史、子、集三种叙事传统中,纪昀明确地以子部为归属,着眼于三者的异同来确立和完善子部小说的特点,在题旨上注重事理的揭示,在叙事准则上反对过度虚构,风格简淡,回避现场感,其文类特征是鲜明而系统的。面对《阅微草堂笔记》,应当采用子部小说的原理来阐发文本及其小说史地位,否则牛头不对马嘴,只能徒滋纷扰。  相似文献

Hirschenfang J 《The Journal of perinatal education》2011,20(2):70-75

In this birth story, a young mother relates her experience of moving beyond fear of labor and birth and developing confidence in her ability to give birth without an epidural. Knowledge and support, including the support of a doula, during the last months of pregnancy helped this mother change her plans for the labor and birth. This story highlights the importance of continuous emotional and physical support and how knowledge and confidence set the stage for a satisfying, safe, and healthy birth.  相似文献
