Bundled or unbundled? A multi-text corpus-assisted discourse analysis of the relationship between teaching and research in UK universities     

Adam Matthews  Ben Kotzee 《British Educational Research Journal》2022,48(3):578-597

Creating and disseminating knowledge through research and teaching has long been regarded as the hallmark of the modern university. However, new university business models have called into question the ‘bundling’ of teaching and research, and sustained research on the relationship between teaching and research has found little evidence of an insoluble connection between the two activities. In this article, we explore the relationship between teaching and research from the perspective of universities’ institutional discourse. We use corpus-assisted discourse analysis to examine the relationship between research and teaching as presented in two sets of institutional texts currently influential in UK Higher Education: Research Excellence Framework environment statements and Teaching Excellence Framework provider submissions (a total of 2143 documents and 12,492,071 words). Our findings show that, while universities emphasise the value of research to their teaching, they do not always emphasise (or sometimes even decry) the influence of teaching on their research. We empirically evidence that, according to what universities themselves write in institutional texts, teaching and research are not always in a mutually beneficial entanglement, but often rather a one-way relationship in which research expertise and institutional prestige are used to bolster claims of teaching excellence. This has implications for the communication of both the vision and the purpose of a university in regulatory exercises and wider policy, but also speaks to the broader idea and practice of being a university in the twenty-first century.  相似文献   

Olfaction and emotion: The quest for olfactory restoration in two speech communities     

Sally O. Hastings  Trudy Milburn 《Journal of International and Intercultural Communication》2019,12(2):190-207

ABSTRACT

Olfaction has been described as one of the least studied of the senses. This has certainly proven true in Communication. This project applies Ethnography of Communication and Cultural Discourse Analysis to examine the role that olfaction plays in the cultural meaning systems of two speech communities: residents surrounding the Gowanus Canal and bereaved parents. The cultural hub used to explore the cultural significance of olfaction in both speech communities is feeling. The analyses illustrate how emotions are tied to associated sensations and further become activated through radiants of dwelling, relating and acting. The analysis also shows how olfaction may serve to unify and separate members of a community. The significance of this research encourages stretching the boundaries of communication studies by examining the less studied physical senses and the boundaries of Cultural Discourse Analysis by providing distinctions that others can incorporate when examining feelings.  相似文献   

Tall Stories: The Metaphorical Nature of Everyday Talk     

Angela Goddard 《English in Education》1996,30(2):4-13

This article questions some popular cultural assumptions about the nature of everyday discourse. It claims that such discourse is in fact richly metaphorical and that, through the operation of metaphor, we fictionalise ourselves as we talk. Because literary writing has dominated our culture and curriculum, English teachers have not been encouraged to explore an aspect of language that is at the core of how we think and behave.  相似文献

万县案与《怒吼吧,中国!》意义溯源     

冷川 《涪陵师范学院学报》2009,25(6)

<怒吼吧,中国!>一剧是20世纪20年代中期英苏之间的矛盾尖锐化的产物,反映的是苏联对以英国为核心的帝国主义联盟的担忧.由于该剧的情节和此后发生的万县案相似,剧作被国内批评家认定为是万县案的写照,并逐步强化了两者间的联系.在这一过程中,史实被人们忽略,反帝话语的影响力则显露无遗,一个秉承苏联官方政治意图的剧作最终被改造为中华民族觉醒的预言.  相似文献   

社会主义和谐社会的标志     

王国绪  冯殿华 《衡水学院学报》2006,8(4):15-17

社会主义和谐社会中的“和谐”是多方面的,它涉及人和自然、个人和群体、人和人以及社会和国家等多个方面。人和自然的和谐意味着,人的一切活动必须建立在尊重自然规律的基础之上。个人和群体的和谐意味着,自愿相互联合的个体和尊重个性的群体。人和人之间的和谐则要求社会各阶层必须相互开放,不得人为制造出知识和能力之外的障碍。公民社会和政治国家的和谐则要求:国家权力从公民社会中产生,而且后者对前者形成有效的制约。  相似文献
