Political Satire in the Chinese Blogosphere： The Case of Wang Xiaofeng

This paper is built on the study of one key blog-Wang Xiaofeng＇s No Guess （2006-2011） to explore how a Chinese intellectual uses his satirical skills in the blogosphere, how his blog reshapes the form of political culture, and how the blogosphere through such interventions proceeds in the development of political communications in China. Two key issues are addressed in the paper. Firstly, drawing on the concept of ＂blogging culture＂, the author argues that blogging has potentially reconfigured political information around people＇s everyday lives, offering alternative modes of ＂public talk＂. The case of Wang Xiaofeng shows that satire can be used to make fun of the state, policies, and established ideologies, improving a previously restricted communicative environment toward more open. Secondly, the rise in the value placed on individualism in China, and the rise of peer-to-peer media mean that bloggers who pursue self-expression simultaneously through such self-expression. In other words, Wang Xiaofeng＇s No Guess blog demonstrates that individual opinions across the blogosphere have implicitly challenged political discourse; however, they always have to struggle with an ongoing censorship, negotiate an unstable discursive space and thus, can only enjoy a limited success.

汉英双语修辞格比较、鉴赏与翻译(四)——Satire与讽刺:善良天性酿制的酸奶(兼论innuendo,sarcasm和ridicule)

英国哲学家怀特黑德（A.Norrth Whitehead）曾说过,Satire is the soured mild of humankindness.（讽刺是人类善良天性酿制的酸奶）。他讲得十分形象。Satire一词源于拉丁语。由于它的涵盖面实在太广,人们对它所下的定义差别很大。作为一种修辞格,satire真的象酸奶,用人类善良天性酿造的酸奶,既有营养又有酸味。它揭露邪恶,嘲笑愚蠢。其表达方式是揶揄或嘲弄;其语言或幽默滑稽,或辛辣尖刻;其目的或是引人发笑、令人反省,或是轻蔑斥责,或是嘲笑攻击。satire是一个通用词。根据其尖刻、激烈程度,可将之依次分为innuendo（影射）,satire（讽刺）,sarcasm（讥讽）和idicule（嘲弄）。

沙汀对中外作品的阅读和接受外来影响的特色

沙汀对中外文学的阅读比较广泛,他的冷静客观使他更多地愿意接受果戈理、契诃夫等19世纪俄国的讽刺文学。但他喜欢的、阅读的作家作品并不一定是他摹仿、借鉴的对象。他与鲁迅、老舍、张天翼、钱锺书等借鉴外国文学的具体特点都不同,俄国文学对沙汀的影响不是外在的、显性的,而是内在的、融化在肌理和血脉中的;不是个别的学习、摹仿某一作品,或某一种艺术技巧,而是总体上的接受写实、暴露、讽刺、批判等基本的创作方法和文学精神。果戈理、契诃夫对他的影响是潜在的,而他和谢德林作品的诸多相似则是一种“暗合”,不存在影响关系,是“和而不同”。但沙汀的讽刺成就并没有超过果戈理、契诃夫、谢德林,也没有超过鲁迅、老舍、钱锺书、张天翼。

针砭之喻与中国文学批评——医疗话语与政治修辞

针砭的历史可追溯到旧石器时期,针砭治病早于方药,针砭之痛远甚于方药。针刺的器具既包括金属制品,也包括石质器物。这对中国文学批评产生了影响。首先,在中医思想中,治疗不仅针对身体,而且针对国家,所谓“上医医国”,针刺之体痛与谏言之直接相对应;其次,针刺之刺即讽谏之刺的原意,刺疾往往指刺世,针砭之喻、讽谏之说和谏言传统三者形成对应和类比;最后,在刺疾与刺世的比对中,身国同构成为一条隐含的线索,治疾即治国。身是践行之身,也是养生之身,更是家国之身。针砭基于疾病而来,疾病话语与政治话语关联。总之,在身国同构的构架之中,治疗作为政治修辞将医学、身体和政体统合起来,政治修辞借助身体和治疗隐喻得以完成。政体是治疗的对象,而非自然生长的机体。这与其说是身体政治学,不如说是治疗政治学。
