认知研究与伦理批评合力下的外国文学教学

Teaching Foreign Literature with Insight from Cognitive Studies and Ethical Criticism

本论文以认知科学和伦理批评为理论支撑,介绍笔者以美国当代作家斯蒂芬·多宾斯的短篇小说《堪萨斯》（1999）为阅读素材的一项教学实践,探讨如何在文学课程中利用认知理论有效发挥文学的示范功能、情感交流功能、认知功能以及“塑造”功能,彰显跨文化、跨学科的比较文学意识如何帮助文学教师更好地促进外国文学与中国当下现实的深度互动。

This paper reports a teaching practice, in which Stephen Dobyns＇ moral story ＂Kansas＂ is chosen for close reading. The teaching practice, with insight from cognitive science and moral criticism, aims to realize the exemplary, affective, cognitive and formative functions of literature, and to deepen the interaction between foreign literature and domestic reality in the practice of literary teaching with cross-cultural and interdisciplinary consciousness.
