Felski’s Literary Sociological Thought From the Perspective of Actor-Network Theory

The relationship between literature and society has been a subject of continuous exploration since the inception of literature itself.On the one hand,from Plato’s theory of mimesis onward,literature has consistently been viewed as a representation of social reality,positioning literature as subordinate to society.On the other hand,with the rise of structuralism and the New Criticism,certain schools of thought have focused exclusively on literature itself,deliberately overlooking the complex connections between literature and society.The growing tension between these two perspectives has increasingly placed contemporary literary studies in a polarized state,leading to a crisis in the legitimacy of literary scholarship.In response to this,Rita Felski’s exploration of the uses of literature embodies a new literary sociology that offers a way out of the current impasse in literary studies.

Literary Works译意探源

现实中,作品千差万别,《伯尔尼公约》将其分为两类:文学作品和艺术作品。20世纪80年代,美国等国将计算机软件作为文学作品,纳入版权法的保护范围。随后,在西方国家的鼓动下,《TRIPS协定》也要求WTO成员将计算机软件作为《伯尔尼公约》中的文学作品加以保护。令人遗憾的是,我国学界未能将"文学作品"理解为一个法律概念,想当然地认为软件与"文学"无关,将literaryworks译成"文字作品"以期涵盖计算机软件。此后,在概念法学的驱使下,又推断出"口述作品"。受此误导,我国《著作权法》以双重标准——作品形式和作品内容——对作品进行分类,致使作品各种类之间矛盾、重叠。为了使我国著作权法中作品的分类更加科学,建议将Literary Works译为"文学作品"。

On Embedding Literary Stylistic Awareness in English Grammar Teaching

The quality of language use is mainly evaluated at the levels of correctness,appropriateness and creativeness.Stylisticfeatures are manifested at the levels of appropriateness and creativeness.In traditional English grammar teaching,much effort isput on the correctness.Appropriateness is treated in part and creativeness is largely ignored.Isolated from concrete contexts,lin-guistic materials used for grammar teaching tend to be inefficient to ensure effective communication.The teaching of dry grammati-cal rules may lead to monotony and boredom in grammar learning.If the linguistic materials used in grammar teaching address cor-rectness,appropriateness and creativeness in language use simultaneously and are closer to life,grammar learning may be morefruitful.As literary texts are characterized by both the social discourses under multiple contexts and personal tastes,their styles arerich and lively.Therefore,to embed literary texts in English grammar teaching will not only create a more concrete,meaningful andinteresting context for the learning of grammatical rules but also be beneficial for the cultivation of stylistic awareness.

Novel Translation is an Art of Literary Re-creation——A Distinguished Art Feature in Chinese Version Tess of the D'urbervilles

论现代奇幻小说的界定与价值

作为一种新兴、独立的故事文体,现代奇幻小说与科幻小说一样属于幻想文学的一支,它最初在神话复苏与反理性主义思潮的冲击下形成,并表现出独特的文学内涵与艺术价值。经过一百多年的发展,现代奇幻小说在创作上取得了不俗的实绩,但与之相关的理论建构却始终处于相对薄弱的状态,其文类界定与价值判断也尚缺乏一个相对客观的认知与评判。事实上,在对现代奇幻小说的文类边界进行判定时,既应追溯其源流,也应观采其发展。除此以外,现代奇幻小说的诞生与繁荣也喻示着现代文化的又一次转向,它在与流行文化合流的过程中既呈现出与以往小说作品大异其趣的艺术魅力,同时也为批判现代文明提供了新的路径与窗口。
