Multimodal Literacy in a New Era of Educational Technology:Comparing Points of View in Animations of Children's and Adult Literature

Purpose The paper shows the interpretive impact of different constructions of the point of view available to the reader/viewer in book and animated movie versions of a children's picture book,a novel for pre-adolescents/early teenagers,and a graphic novel for adolescents and adults.Design/Approach/Methods Excerpts from book and animated movie versions of the same story are compared using multimodal analysis of interpersonal meaning to show how the reader/viewer is positioned in relation to the characters in each version,complemented by analyses of ideational meaning to show the effect of point of view on interpretive possibilities.Findings Focusing mainly on multimodal construction of point of view,the analyses show how interpretive possibilities of ostensibly the same story are significantly reconfigured in animated adaptations compared with book versions even when the verbal narrative remains substantially unchanged.Originality/Value The study shows that it is crucial to students’critical appreciation of,and their creative contribution to,their evolving digital literary culture that in this new era of educational technology,attention in literacy and literary education focuses on developing understandings of digital multimodal narrative art,and that animated movie adaptations are not presented pedagogically as isomorphic with,or simply adjunct to,corresponding book versions.

A Comparative Study on English-Chinese Translation of The Borrowers from the Perspective of Skopos Theory

When translating children's literature, the characteristics of the target readers can not be neglected. However, in thetranslation of literary works in China, translation of children's literature in China has always been ignored. E-C translation practicein children's literature and the theoretical study are of imbalance. When it comes to the theoretical study of E-C translation of chil-dren's literature, it is far backward. Skopostheorie holds that the purpose of translation is the primary rule to be followed, and pro-vides children's literature translation with theory evidence. The Borrowers was introduced into China in 1990, highly appreciatedby readers. However, the related research in the translation of this book is poor. This paper takes Skopostheorie as the theoreticalframework and combines the characteristics of children's literature, discussing the different Chinese translation versions of the Brit-ish children's literature The Borrowers. This paper makes a comparative analysis on the advantages and disadvantages of differentChinese versions, and summarizes the methods of translating children's literature.

The Bamboos of Blekinge： The Writing of Cultures in Swedish Proletarian Fiction

The national identity of the source culture often constitutes an important hermeneutic flame fi＇om which a translated text is understood. At the same time, literary texts themselves sometimes have a tendency to resist cultural narratives and stereotypical ideas of a certain nation. This article explores how such a resistance is made in the English translations of four Swedish novels from the 1930s. These novels are all central texts in the history of Swedish literature, as they form the very basis of a literary current that had a huge impact on the development of the Swedish welfare state--proletarian fiction. In the translations of Harry Martinson＇s, Moa Martinson＇s, Eyvind Johnson＇s, and Ivar Lo-Johansson＇s breakthrough novels, the Anglophone target reader is faced with different kinds of disruptions of the Swedish national identity. Some of these disturb the conception of Sweden as a unified cultural space; others resist the idea of Sweden as a distinct cultural space. There is, however, no general rule to these disruptions： All four novels have their own, specific way of creating narrative resistance.

On the National Symptoms of Boar Crossing the River:One Hundred Years of Solitude in a Malaysian Chinese Village

After the famous“Rainforest Trilogy”such as Monkey Cup and Elephants,Zhang Guixing,a Malaysian Chinese writer in Taiwan,recently published another Nanyang story Boar Crossing the River,in the background of anti-Japanese War,focusing on the massacres and resistance of the Chinese in Krokop,a Malaysian Chinese village in Borneo from 1941 to 1945 according to a list of“Committee for the Relief of Refugees of the Motherland”.In this novel,Zhang Guixing changes the accustomed narrative mode of individual family history,expands the description to the group images of the Chinese in Krokop,highlights their patriotic sacrifice,and saves the reality of the slaughter of the compatriots by magic means such as the myths and legends of Borneo and masks in children’s imagination.It is also noteworthy that the novel talks about the relationship between individual freedom and national identity in depth,and describes the tragic fate of cross-national love in the period of national opposition.These nation-state discourses in Boar Crossing the River are Zhang Guixing’s biggest transitions when missing in the literary world for 17 years,which indicate a landmark progress in his spiritual history.

Examples of National and Transnational Cinema： Akira Kurosawa＇s Yojimbo and Sergio Leone＇s A Fistful of Dollars

The term transnational originated in the historical field when, in the late 1990s, lan Tyrrell wrote a seminal essay entitled ＂What is Transnational History？＂ and changed the course of the academic discipline, claiming that studying the history of a nation from inside its borders was outmoded because the study of history concerns the movements of peoples, ideas, technologies, and institutions across national boundaries. The study of cross-national influences and the focus on the relationship between nation and factors beyond the nation spilled over into many other fields, especially into cinematic studies. Today transnational refers to the impossibility of assigning a fixed national identity to much cinema, to the dissolution of any stable connection between film＇s place of production and the nationality of its makers and performers. Because there is a lot of critical debate about what constitutes national and transnational cinema, the study of international remakes is a promising method to map the field with some accuracy. This essay will analyze the journey from Hammett＇s novel to Kurosawa＇s film and then to Leone＇s western, and will demonstrate how the process of adaptation functions and what happens to a ＂text＂ when it becomes tmnsnational and polysemic. Because Leone is the creator of the Italian western, the one who initiated the cycle that was copied many times over for a decade, we must look at A Fistful of Dollars as a prototype, a movie that when dissected can shed light on the national-transnational dichotomy of the spaghetti western. However, before studying the prototype, we must look at the complex history of the origin of the first spaghetti western, taking into account that A Fistful of Dollars was ＂transcoded＂ by Leone from Kurosawa＇s Yojimbo （1961） that derived his script from Dashiell Hammett＇s RedHarvest （1929）.

Scottish Literary Heritage and National Identity:A Case Study of Boswell’s The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides

A Comparative Study on the Two Chinese Versions of the Nightingale and the Rose: From the Perspective of Functional Equivalence

This study explores the realization of functional equivalence through a comparative analysis of Ba Jin's and Lin Huiyin's Chinese versions of The Nightingale and the Rose at the levels of meaning,style and culture.Ba's version achieves the highest functional equivalence,especially at the level of style.By contrast,with strong personal style and characteristics of the Republicanperiod,Lin's version is difficult for the children to read and comprehend.Besides,for both translators fail to understand the original texts completely,their versions mislead the readers as to meanings and cultural interpretations.

边疆自觉、少数民族文学与当代中国观

近现代中国由王朝帝国向民族国家转型过程中,边疆的自觉,边民的发现、想象和书写,构成了统一的多民族中国的观念基础。国际地理和国内空间的再认识与复杂化,意味着中国对于外部与内部、世界与自我的认知变化。在国内外多重因素所导致的主动与被动的迁徙与流动中,地理、政治、社会与价值观念得以重构,形成了中国特色社会主义的主权国家。包容不同类型的文化于国家一体的内部,兼顾共同性与特殊性,促成了新中国多民族共同主体的再造。这个主体再造的过程,决定了少数民族文学作为中国特色国家意志体现与文化表达的当代属性。少数民族文学从属于社会主义文化新体系与格局的建构,成为总体性中华民族审美共同体的组成部分,进而形成了集体主义的美学风格。在经由改革开放以来各种“后学”思潮的洗礼之后,如今需要重申社会主义早期文化实践的遗产,重塑中华民族共同体美学。

批评的可能性:论西部文学中汉族作家的民族叙述态度

在当代中国西部文学创作中,汉族作家的少数民族叙述如有批评性描写,则常常受到责难。作为异文化进入者与表现者,汉族作家往往具有启蒙的、人道的观念或发展、进步的观念,与本地人的民族文化认同或民族主义观念难免产生冲突。汉族作家对于少数民族生活的书写,应该持有平等的友善的态度。汉族作家与所写的少数民族构成自我与他者的关系,汉族作家既是自我、创作主体,也是他者。作为他者,汉族作家显然提供了一种重要的书写和评价角度,具有作为外在参照的相异性、多元性的意义,批评性的书写自然不可避免。

中国革命儿童文学的生成、演进与反思

自20世纪三四十年代起,革命儿童文学便成为中国儿童文学的有机组成部分,并以艺术实践的方式发挥着对阶级斗争、民族解放等宏大话语的言说功能。在新中国儿童文学的艺术视域内,对革命历史的追忆与重述使得革命儿童文学被拉升到“国家文学”的高度。在新的文化场域内,儿童的个体成长与新中国的现代化进程相勾连,向儿童宣叙“革命家史”,突显出成人对儿童的现实教育意涵。借此过程,成人通过对历史的陈述完成了由“事实的历史”向“叙事的历史”的转换,并创建起新型的文类秩序。而被成人编排进革命历史叙事中的儿童则顺利跻身于革命大家庭,其依凭特有的心理、视角、行为在完成对革命历史的述说之余,也以亲历者与见证者的身份实现了对自身的主体性建构。而在后革命时代,从思想变革的角度重审革命儿童文学,探寻与重塑战争语境下儿童的主体价值,为新世纪儿童文学的良性发展提供崭新的艺术出发点。

外国文学课程中的国家意识培育:基本内蕴、现实审视及实践进路

国家意识培育是外国文学课程思政建设的应有之义。外国文学课程国家意识培育的教学着力点在于:在中外文学与文化比较和互鉴中树立坚定的中国立场意识与文化自信意识,以及在开放的全球视野中树立人类命运共同体意识。但教师自身国家意识淡薄、育人责任意识缺位,教材文化内容有失均衡、国家意识元素匮乏,课程思政教学手段单一、隐性教育方法滞后等问题的存在不利于外国文学课程中的国家意识培育。在外国文学课程思政中推进国家意识培育,需提高国家意识培育的科学认识、深挖隐含国家意识的教学资源、探索渗透国家意识的教学方法,通过显性与隐性、线上与线下、课内与课外、理论与实践相结合等方式,打破既有教学模式的束缚,切实落实国家意识培育的预期目标。
