However, the details in the memoirs indicate wisdom in some occasions even though Evelina is ignorant of the forms and manners of the world. Therefore, inexperience, instead of innocence, may be the most appropriate word to describe Evelina.展开更多

The author emphasizes the primacy of forgetting, as opposed to recollection conventi on ally understood, as the centrality of Lu Xun's stressful, tragic principle of memory. The author argues that, by turning to forgetting as a register of and formal-spatial space for historical and political content, Lu Xun puts his signature stylistic maneuvers and mannerisms in full display. Hence,"memory for the sake of forgetting" must be understood literally, that is, as forgetting functioning as a heightened and intensified form of social protest, albeit in modernistic rather than realistic terms;and through this pressurized and agonistic inner space of convoluted temporality. Furthermore, the author seeks to show that forgetting also serves a representational function that goes hand-in-hand with Lu Xun's zawen as poetics and chronicle all at once.In Lu Xun's writing of reminiscence, that which fails to be repressed into silenee, despair and oblivion roars back from the depth of an existential void, and reorganizes historical experiences of chaos and danger into a more powerful and intimate encasement and mimesis of reality. Thus, in Lu Xun, a modernist intervention into nothingness makes palpable history's own structure of conflict, oppression and impasse which simultaneously stands for a metaphysics of defiance and hope.展开更多
文摘In the years of the Bulgarian transition from Soviet-style state socialism to parliamentary democracy and market economy,the notions of the recent past experience profound changes.This process is predetermined by the new political imperative—the need to reorient the country from the Eastern bloc to the Western world.Changing the attitude of the Bulgarian society towards the socialist past is accomplished first through the change of curricula and textbooks,but also with the help of the media,which give floor to critics of socialism.Over time,however,especially since the neo-liberal economic transformations that took place under the so-called Washington Consensus led to deindustrialisation and high unemployment,a change in social attitude towards socialism began.In the 21st century,the attitude towards socialism changed.The total denial that prevailed in the 1990s gave way to a more nuanced picture—alongside the shortcomings and crimes,there are also talks about positive features of socialism such as social security and stability.This is evident both in the positions of the Bulgarian intellectuals and in the views of Bulgarian students about the socialist past.
文摘The first work of Fanny Burney, Evelina, written in the style of memoirs, depicts an ideal women of innocence, purity, and beauty, who represents the epitome of all the women in her age. However, the details in the memoirs indicate wisdom in some occasions even though Evelina is ignorant of the forms and manners of the world. Therefore, inexperience, instead of innocence, may be the most appropriate word to describe Evelina.
