Novelists, according to Deleuze, have already recognized this. What these new novelists have realized is simply the way to elude control, a new intuition to develop unidentifiable means of resistance. Who are these novelists？ What struggles have been made in their work for liberation？ In what sense these fictions are revolutionary？ And what does it mean to think as impersonal individuations？ I argue, in this piece of work, that Italo Calvino is one of those novelists, in fictions of whom one might find truthful answers to most of the questions above and trace revolutionary insights of the kind Deleuze implicitly fosters. The ordinary characters or non-characters of Calvino function in a sense as a minor language operating through pages of the fiction. The fact that they are not in focus or not habitually actualized gives them power to resist representation. The elusive force running through the fiction might clearly be read as Deleuze-Guattarian body-without-organs. Accomplishing a reading of this kind requires a machinic thinking. What I attempt in this work is to try to perform such an experimental reading.展开更多

The research is a part of the English Learning Program sponsored by Academic Affairs Office of Huazhong Agricultural University. The author introduced a pilot study conducted by utilizing videos to teach listening and speaking from September 2002 till now. The statistical result from the experiment suggests that this method has some advantages over teaching listening and speaking with the pre-taped materials in the text.展开更多

Sometimes, a work could be translated and introduced into a culture too early before the readers there can understand the foreign idea and poetics. The innovative language and narrative experiment in Finnegans Wake are far ahead of the literary tradition in contemporary China, which makes it hard to be understood and accepted wholeheartedly by most Chinese readers. However, such experimental works should not be translated in a domesti- cating way to make them easier. If the experimental poetics in Finnegans Wake were kept in the translation as much as possible, it could advance the acceptance of new ideas and poetics in modem Chinese literature, especially when some efforts are given to make the translated work popular.展开更多
