Gaze and Oppositional Gaze in Mr. Tang’s Girls

The gaze is a means of power that can flow through family relationships.It has intense regulatory overtones.In her short story Mr.Tang’s Girls,Malaysian-Chinese Anglophone diasporic writer Shirley Geok-lin Lim shows the conflict between Eastern and Western cultures and the resistance of women under the oppression of patriarchy through the portrayal of the father,Ah Kong,and the eldest daughter,Kim Li.Based on Foucault’s discipline gaze and Hooks’oppositional gaze,this article analyzes the power operation in the story from the following three aspects:the male gaze,discipline and self-discipline,and the oppositional gaze.Kim Li’s subjective image of breaking free from male ownership control has been presented.It suggests the difficulties encountered by female groups in their rebellion against the male gaze and their pursuit of freedom and emancipation.It also reflects the tragedy of awakening women’s destinies under the dual oppression of patriarchy and the East-Westen cultural conflict.

Transnarrativity in the Recreation of a Fictional World:A Case Study of Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince

Discussions on the establishment of translational equivalence have been anchored on linguistic conversion and sociocultural factors;nonetheless,translating a story as a process of narrativization offers a different perspective in understanding the dynamic nature of equivalence.The nomadic assemblage of linguistic equivalents is conditioned by the“narrativity”of the story.Narrativity opens up potential trajectories that allow the translator to perform a series of modifications and modulations,aiming to reproduce what Derrida calls a“relevant translation”,and any inappropriate choice of diction may result in the interior distortion of story meaning.The irreducibility of translatorial discursive intervention entails that the narrativity of the story is negotiated and fabricated by the translator and the art of story retelling through interlingual translation depends on the quality and effect of“transnarrativity”.This paper,taking the Chinese translation of Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince as an example,argues that the linguistic mellowness and thematic adorability of the transnarration are grounded in what Deleuze and Guattari call the“affective and perceptive”connectives among the text,the translator and the target reader.The affective and perceptive responses captured in the transnarrativity of the story are subject to the establishment and assemblage of equivalent relations manifested in a rhizomatic transformation or a nexus of potentially nomadic linguistic collisions.

A Comparative and Integrated Study of English Composition Online Automatic Scoring (OAS) and Teacher Scoring (TS)

The objective of this paper is to explore the reliability of Online Automatic Scoring(OAS)through the comparison of OAS and Teacher Scoring(TS),and further demonstrate the feasibility of the integration of the two scoring methods.The Pearson correlation statistics of the two scoring results of 115 compositions are processed with SPSS analysis software,indicating that the correlation between the two reaches 0.83,which means that OAS is relatively reliable in dealing with students’compositions.After the second stage of the TS experiment,the questionnaire results show that students generally recognize the OAS and have a clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the two scoring methods.Combined with the students’interview,the conclusion is that the OAS is reliable and the integration of the two scoring methods will have a better effect.

A Study of Lady Macbeth’s Tragedy from the Perspective of Feminist Criticism

Macbeth is one of the four great tragedies penned by English playwright, William Shakespeare. Lady Macbeth, the primary tragic female character in the play, seems to be different from other typical female roles portrayed by Shakespeare, and is often characterized by the world as vicious and ambitious. Being in a patriarchal society, Lady Macbeth awakens to female self-awareness and lust for power. She silently rebels against the oppression and constraints imposed by the society, ultimately paying the price of her life. By analyzing the process of Lady Macbeth’s subversion of the identity of the Other from the perspective of feminist criticism, this article offers a new interpretation of Lady Macbeth’s image and delves into the underlying causes of her tragedy. It suggests that it is often difficult for women to break free from the oppressive shackles of a patriarchal society in their pursuit for equality, freedom and power. The path to women’s liberation is long and arduous, which still requires unwavering efforts and perseverance from all.
