话语创新与思维创新--我国落后地区全面建设小康社会的"话语"分析

全面建设小康社会战略目标的提出为经济文化相对落后的地区提供了极为宝贵的发展机遇,除具有重大的政治、经济意义外,不可低估它所产生的"话语"价值及思维创新意蕴。创新内在地包含了话语创新,而只有实现了话语创新,才能使发展的理性认识融入人们现实的实践,发挥"话语""以言行事"的功能。

试论"故事"与"话语"关系的两个层面

结构主义叙事学家提出"故事"与"话语"的区分,主张故事独立于话语.解构主义叙事学家反对"故事"与"话语"的区分,主张话语力量创造故事.结构主义叙事学是在存在物的意义上使用"故事"与"话语",而解构主义叙事学是在存在的意义上来使用"故事"与"话语".这是"故事"与"话语"关系的两个层面,可以在理论与实践上实现对话与沟通.     

法庭调解语言中的修辞技艺探析——以亚里士多德的古典修辞学思想为线索

亚里士多德的古典修辞学理论认为,修辞是一种在每一事例上发现可行的说服方式的能力,其功能不在于说服,而在于发现存在于每一事例中的说服方式。他认为凭借修辞方法和说话人的努力可以达成的说服论证包括三种:运用说话人的品格(ethos)、激发听众的某种情感(pathos)和运用逻辑论证(logos)。亚里士多德这些技术性的说服修辞技巧以及他关于法庭(司法)演说、议事(或政治)演说和展示性(夸耀性)演说的分类,均可创造性地应用于法庭调解实践当中,具有重要的方法论意义。     

调研及其政治话语的兴起：1930—1942——以毛泽东的调研文本与实践为中心

作为一种普遍性人类实践活动的调研古已有之。20世纪初的中国大地上至少有三类调研实践值得注意,其中,以毛泽东为代表的共产党人对根据地或解放区的调研实践,奠定了中国调研的“马克思主义学派”的基础和方向,具有鲜明的政治属性。“没有调查就没有发言权”是由毛泽东提出的个人论断,在经历了一系列理论与实践上的曲折历程之后,最终成为中共党内一种重要的政治话语。这一政治话语在全党的正式兴起得益于中共在调研的制度化与组织化、调研制度的实践化以及调研话语的个体内化方面实施的一系列机制。由此,调研的政治话语成为中共党内一种极其重要的集体政治财富。     

当前加强意识形态教育必要性的三重解读

意识形态教育在马克思主义理论中占据着重要位置。马克思主义的意识形态理论不仅批判了资本主义国家虚假的意识形态,同时预示了未来社会的意识形态教育需要指向人的终极关怀——人和人类的解放。立足于意识形态教育本身,当前加强意识形态教育的必要性在于:对于个体而言,意识形态教育有助于推动个体的政治社会化,促进个体政治价值观的形成和发展;对于国家而言,意识形态教育有利于国家认同和民族认同的养成,推动社会各种利益的有效整合,凸显意识形态教育的社会"软实力"的作用;对于国际社会中思想文化交流而言,意识形态教育有利于在多元的文化交流中把握自身的话语主动权,确立马克思主义意识形态的话语权地位。     

The cult of the victim: an analysis of the collective identity of the English Defence League

Since its creation in 2009 the English Defence League has become the largest street-based social movement in contemporary Britain. Its demonstrations have led to violence and community tensions in town and city centres throughout the country. While these street demonstrations have attracted some attention in academia, as of yet there has been no attempt to analyse the statements of the EDL as an organization. Oaten analyses the EDL's outgoing communicative transmissions and argues that the EDL as a movement is based on a sense of collective victimhood. By drawing on conceptions of collective victimhood from post-conflict studies, he suggests that only by understanding the EDL's collective victimhood can we understand its anti-Muslim and anti-establishment stance. His article stresses that collective victimhood is a zero sum identity, and highlights the fact that, as such, the EDL and its members continuously seek to portray themselves as the ‘true’ victims of abuse by government and British Muslims. Oaten concludes, in light of EDL leader Tommy Robinson's departure, by looking at the potential future trajectories of the EDL. He argues that, despite the fact that Robinson was central to the movement's collective victimhood frame of reference, the EDL continues to utilize the collective victimhood narrative in order to explain Robinson's departure. This suggests that collective victimhood had become a powerful category of self-identification for the movement, and that the movement can continue without Robinson.     

Human rights and discourse theory: some critical remarks

In this short piece, I suggest that Seyla Benhabib’s discourse-theoretic account of human rights succeeds in avoiding the charge of anti-parochialism only at the cost of failing to provide concrete and plausible enough guidance in identifying the holders, duty-bearers, and objects of human rights. I then conclude with a few reflections on what type of guidance may be plausibly expected from a discourse-theoretic approach.     

“They might read a fly speck”: musical literacy as a discursive resource in Louis Armstrong's autobiographies

Jazz has been described as a music in which the “oral” element plays a crucial role, in opposition to Western “classical” music, seen as a chiefly “written” tradition. Although such an image is frequently advocated by critics and musicians themselves, it is also true that it can generate ambivalence and negative outputs, such as the persistent myth of “primitivism” and “naivety,” often associated with jazz music. Building on Social Semiotics and Critical Discourse Analysis, this study aims at analyzing how the representations of “orality” and “literacy,” that emerge in some autobiographical narratives by Louis Armstrong, are generated, and how they can work as semiotic and discursive resources. It argues that the different depictions of musicians, and the attitude displayed toward musical literacy, are sensitive to the historical, societal, and political context in which texts have been produced and published, as well as to the narrator's willingness and ability to resist or subvert dominant discourses. Moreover, the characterization of a musician (or a category of musicians) as able or unable to access musical literacy can also serve local purposes, such as expressing the narrator's stance toward narrative characters.
