Teenage Pregnancy in the Life and Thought of the Traditional Akan： Moral Perspectives

In the past, teenage pregnancy was very rare among the traditional Akan people, currently, however, it has reached an alarming stage. The traditional rites that were effective in instituting measures that ensured chastity among the Akan teenagers are now replaced by foreign rites that seem to be less effective. This paper examines teenage pregnancy and its morality among the traditional Akan of Ghana. The paper discovers that the morality of teenage pregnancy among the traditional Akan depends on the circumstances under which the pregnancy occurs. The following among others are identified as the major factors responsible for the upsurge of teenage pregnancy among the Akan： the breakdown of the extended family system and social cohesion; the influx of foreign cultural and religious practices coupled with the wrong mentality that indigenous African cultural practices are uncivil. The paper posits that the bragor9 and kyiribra rites are important traditional tools which can be refined and used together with other modern methods to remedy the upsurge of teenage pregnancy and restore the moral sanity that existed among the Akan.

浅议门罗叙事策略观照的女性观

加拿大诺贝尔文学奖获得者艾丽斯·门罗创作的唯一一部小说是其1971年发表的《少女和妇人的生活》。在这部小说中,作者采用第一人称叙事,从貌似主观、片面的当事人角度还原黛儿从少女到成年女性的成长历程,再现了女主人公应对加拿大朱比利小镇保守社会环境挑战的全过程。阅读体验表明,这种限制性叙事手法为作者生动、真实地传递其耐人寻味的非传统女性主义的女性观发挥了重要作用。读者在了解男性主导的加拿大朱比利小镇生活的同时,感受到黛儿·乔丹从幼稚女孩到成熟女性这一快乐而痛苦的蜕变过程中所表现出的自然而复杂的心态以及所释放的日渐独立的女性思维。
