Application of Critical Discourse Analysis in Post-Colonial Literary Studies

Post-colonial literary studies, as a significant academic field, have recently garnered widespread attention from scholars due to their integration with critical discourse analysis. This study explores the application of critical discourse analysis in post-colonial literary research, focusing on how this method reveals implicit power relations, identity construction, and cultural conflicts within texts. Through in-depth analysis of representative works, this study demonstrates how critical discourse analysis provides new perspectives and methodological tools for post-colonial literary studies. The research finds that critical discourse analysis can effectively deconstruct colonial discourse in texts, reveal authors’ ideological positions, and offer profound insights into understanding the complexity of post-colonial societies. This study not only enriches the methodology of post-colonial literary research, but also provides valuable references for interdisciplinary studies.

A Post-Colonial Study of The Remains of the Day

As a work representing part and parcel of Kazuo Ishiguro’s literary creation and underpinning his literary reputation,The Remains of the Day is a full-length novel told by first-person narratives,numerous segments in which are proved to entail post-colonial implications.Mr.Stevens’struggling process of mistreating himself in an inhuman,banal,and restrained manner and later painfully reconstructing his identity is unequivocally revealed.That would conspicuously serves as an epitome of post-war Britain:people were getting lost in their formerly-constructed cultural identity.Facing swiftly-changing milieu in Britain,people may not enable themselves to transform their cognition,self-esteem,pride or even prejudice in a fast speed as the international sit⁃uation may do so.

The Psychological Dimension of Postcolonial Approach in Translation Theory

When it comes to the postcolonial translation studies,the studies of translation and empire is an indispensible link not only because of translation as a kind of tool in imperialism's conquer and occupation but alsobecause it mainly depends on anthropology,sociolo gy,gender studies,ethnic studies,literary criticism,history,psychoanalysis and political science and philosophy.This thesis mainly from people's psychological influence made by colonization explores how this kind of psychological influence functions in translation.

后殖民视野中的话语殖民及其实现途径——1940-1960年代农村题材小说人物话语分析

后殖民理论认为,文学作品在进行革命和现代性话语的书写中,自觉或者不自觉地运用多种叙事策略,将后者所预设的一整套意识形态话语作为高级文化,系统改造作品中人物的语言方式和思维世界,从而将传统、本土话语逐步替换,已达到革命意识形态所设定的语言世界,形成对社会的系统改造。在1940-1960年代农村题材小说中,饱含革命意识形态内涵的新话语逐渐渗入乡村基层干部和农民的日常生活用语中。这种小说中人物的言说方式的变化,是革命和现代性话语对乡村话语体系和思维世界的一种征服,由此建构了革命意识形态的现实注脚,其实质是一种话语殖民。本文以后殖民理论中的话语殖民为分析工具,讨论这种文学现象的实现机制及其政治文化内涵。

建造巴别塔-关于世界/全球建筑史写作的初步分析

建筑通史教学是建筑学基础教育中不可或缺的重要组成部分。建筑通史教材内在的史学观念和编纂方法对建筑学基本观念的形成有着复杂而深远的影响。20世纪60年代以来,国际史学界逐渐兴起一种关注和强调“全球史”视野的史学研究与写作潮流,并随着后殖民主义批评话语的勃兴,对建筑通史的编纂理念和方法产生了较大的影响。本文指出“全球史”的跨文化视野对我国当下建筑通史教学的意义和价值,并通过对一系列世界/全球建筑史文本进行初步分析与比较,呈现当代国际通史型建筑史写作的发展趋向。

福-赛理论与外语专业课程设置

福柯的权力话语和赛义德的新东方主义理论揭示了两个真相:知识纯粹中性之虚伪,话语霸权解构之可能。高校外语专业课程设置可以从话语权力理论和新东方主义理论中得到重要的启示,以纠正跨文化交际教学中存在的偏差。以英语讲授的《中国国情与文化》课程的设置与教学为例,虽然其教学目的是多层面的,但从本质上讲该课程是话语霸权的一种文化抵抗,提出了外语教育中文化教育平衡发展的理论依据。

联合国维持和平行动与后殖民国家建构(1980-2015年)

联合国是维和行动主要的组织者和实施者。冷战结束以来,西方主导的联合国维和的目标由维护和平逐渐转变为战后重建,并开始承担复杂的国家建构任务。一方面,维和给目标国带来了和平,维和人员的日常开支对目标国经济的恢复和发展作出了一定贡献。但是维和任务的速成性和维和经济造成的收入两极分化等因素,都对目标国的经济发展产生了消极影响。另一方面,维和人员的税收豁免权、维和人员与其他社会群体的收入差距以及由此导致的政府部门人才流失和腐败、平行行政部门的出现等都严重削弱了政府对社会的渗透和控制能力。不仅如此,维和人员税收豁免和收入两极分化显著地降低了民众的纳税意愿,使得逃税和抗税盛行,提高了征税难度。维和部队对于目标国政府军向民众单方面使用暴力采取的不干涉态度,也强化了社会抗税心理。所以,西方主导的联合国维和行动既缩小了目标国的税基,降低了官僚机构的效能,又打击了民众的纳税意愿,显著地降低了目标国的财政汲取能力。本文对1980—2015年126个后殖民国家的大样本统计分析表明,无论是短期还是长期,西方主导的联合国维和行动和后殖民目标国的汲取能力都呈显著的负相关关系。

Plasma Post Oxidation of Plasma Nitrocarburized SKD 61 Steel

Plasma nitrocarburizing and plasma oxidizing treatments were performed to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of SKD 61 steel.Plasma nitrocarburizing was conducted for 12 h at 540℃in the nitrogen, hydrogen and methane atmosphere to produce theε-Fe-（2-3）（N,C） phase.The compound layer produced by plasma nitrocarburising was predominantly composed ofε-phase,with a small proportion ofγ′-Fe-4 （N,C） phase. The thickness of the compound layer and the diffusion layer are about 10μm and about 200μm,respectively. Plasma post oxidation was performed on the nitrocarburized samples with various oxygen/hydrogen ratio at constant temperature of 500℃for 1 h.The very thin magnetite （Fe-3O-4） layer of 1-2μm in thickness on top of the compound layer was obtained.Anodic polarization test revealed that plasma nitrocarburizing process contributed a significant improvement of corrosion resistance of SKD 61 steel.However,the corrosion characteristics of the nitrocarburized compound layer was deteriorated by oxidation treatment.

Plasma post oxidation of nitrocarburized AISI 4140 steel

Plasma nitrocarburizing and plasma oxidizing treatments were performed to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of AISI 4140 steel. Plasma nitrocarburizing was conducted for 3 h at 570 ℃ in the nitrogen, hydrogen and methane atmosphere to produce the ε-Fe2-3(N,C) phase. It was found that the compound layer produced by plasma nitrocarburising was predominantly composed of ε-phase, with a small proportion of γ′-Fe4(N,C) phase. The thickness of the compound layer was about 10 μm and the diffusion layer was about 300 μm in thickness, respectively. Plasma post oxidation was performed on the nitrocarburized samples with various oxygen/hydrogen ratio at a constant temperature of 500 ℃ for 1 h. The very thin magnetite (Fe3O4) layer 1-2 μm in thickness on top of the compound layer was obtained by plasma post oxidation. It was confirmed that the corrosion characteristics of the nitrocarburized compound layer can be further improved by the application of the superficial magnetite layer.

外部思考与去殖民性

去殖民性理论是近年来在学界引起关注的理论思潮。作为一种来自欧洲“外部”的视角,去殖民性理论认为,尽管殖民主义已终结,但殖民性仍然存在,并对世界上不同国家和地区间的关系持续地造成影响。结合阿尼巴尔·奎杰罗和瓦尔特·米尼奥罗等重要理论家的相关论述,本文主要从三个方面对去殖民性理论进行了讨论:首先,作为一种“外部”视角,去殖民性理论从殖民性的角度对现代性进行了反思,指出现代性的背后藏匿着的是殖民性;其次,本文认为,与后殖民理论相比,去殖民性试图从现代性的话语体系中跳脱出来,实现知识上的去殖民化,而后殖民理论在很大程度上仍局囿于欧洲中心主义的思维范式;最后,去殖民性理论提出了以对生命的呵护、共同体的成长与和谐作为目标的一套替代性方案,强调全世界人类和谐共处,对当下和未来世界格局进行了重新构想。
