This paper explores metafiction’s role in fictional science picturebooks and its resolution of the contradictions between fictional stories and scientific knowledge in existing research by analysing two children’s picturebooks,Wolves(Gravett,2015)and The Magic School Bus(Cole,1995).The paper first identifies both books as metafictive science picturebooks by analysing their content.Secondly,the author analyses the structure of the two picturebooks and exposes that they both have two narrative lines as the composite structure:science knowledge and fictional stories.Thirdly,the article discusses the metafictive elements in Wolves and The Magic School Bus from the content perspectives,which are relevant to“reality”,in order to evaluate how metafiction enhances fictional science picturebooks in supporting children’s learning of science,conveying knowledge to children,and avoiding children’s misunderstanding of fiction and scientific information.

重构与前瞻:中国儿童文学批评的逻辑基点与发展路向

新世纪以来,中国儿童文学批评在价值体系建构、理论资源吸纳、方法路径拓展、评奖机制完善、批评论著生成等多方面取得了显著成绩,但也存在着本体建构乏力、批评失当等实质性问题。为此,重审中国儿童文学批评的元概念,将“中国性”“儿童性”“文学批评”作为批评话语建构的逻辑支点,有助于廓清批评立场、明确学科基石、拓展研究思路,增强其内涵建设。未来中国儿童文学批评应从学科基础出发,不断完善对中国特色儿童文学理论批评话语体系的本体建构。在纵向上,统合“主体性”与“整体性”,深度推进中国儿童文学批评融入中国新文学批评的历史版图。在横向上,秉持“以中为本”“化西为中”理念,在促进世界儿童文学共同繁荣中展现中国儿童文学批评的国际视野与国家本位。在具体批评实践中,要敢于“讲真话”“谈不足”,以文学批评助推中国儿童文学创作、出版、传播大发展大繁荣。

童书中的意识形态及其批判潜能——当代西方儿童文学意识形态批评的演进与趋向

当代西方儿童文学意识形态批评的观念与方法自20世纪70年代以来获得迅速发展,“意识形态批评”随后成为西方儿童文学理论批评的核心术语之一。20世纪80年代,以彼得·霍林代尔为代表的研究为儿童文学的意识形态批评开荆辟莽,奠定了重要的理论基础。20世纪90年代,以约翰·斯蒂芬斯为代表的研究深化了儿童文学意识形态批评的观念与认识,丰富和拓展了对这一领域的研究。西方儿童文学意识形态批评的独创性,典型地体现在关于“儿童/成人”意识形态关系的审视与思考中。儿童文学的意识形态批评在很大程度上改变了西方儿童文学界对儿童文学/文化文本中“儿童/成人”关系的认识,继而改写了当代西方儿童文学创作、阅读、批评的观念与实践。

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.

Transnarrativity in the Recreation of a Fictional World:A Case Study of Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince

Discussions on the establishment of translational equivalence have been anchored on linguistic conversion and sociocultural factors;nonetheless,translating a story as a process of narrativization offers a different perspective in understanding the dynamic nature of equivalence.The nomadic assemblage of linguistic equivalents is conditioned by the“narrativity”of the story.Narrativity opens up potential trajectories that allow the translator to perform a series of modifications and modulations,aiming to reproduce what Derrida calls a“relevant translation”,and any inappropriate choice of diction may result in the interior distortion of story meaning.The irreducibility of translatorial discursive intervention entails that the narrativity of the story is negotiated and fabricated by the translator and the art of story retelling through interlingual translation depends on the quality and effect of“transnarrativity”.This paper,taking the Chinese translation of Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince as an example,argues that the linguistic mellowness and thematic adorability of the transnarration are grounded in what Deleuze and Guattari call the“affective and perceptive”connectives among the text,the translator and the target reader.The affective and perceptive responses captured in the transnarrativity of the story are subject to the establishment and assemblage of equivalent relations manifested in a rhizomatic transformation or a nexus of potentially nomadic linguistic collisions.
