论民间文学的知识产权保护

民间文学因为受传统文化因素的影响而表现出诸多特殊属性,加之其他方面的一些原因,许多国家或地区的版权法并不保护民间文学或者并不对民间文学赋予特别的保护。虽然诸如版权法、商业秘密法、商标法和反不正当竞争法等传统知识产权制度都可以赋予民间文学作品一定程度的保护,但民间文学的自身属性导致传统知识产权制度对民间文学作品的不适应性。例如,建立在个体作者基础上的传统版权制度并不适合保护民间文学作品。传统知识产权制度对民间文学保护的不足呼唤民间文学特殊保护制度的建立。

民俗事象的实物词语化及词语的无标记性论析

民俗区域社会群体文化水平的低下与生存、发展理念多样化的矛盾,使民俗事象的实物词语化成为必要;地理位置、气候条件、地方物产等现实条件和社会群体的认知关联性又使之成为可能。此种倾向有其认知心理动因,表现为"趋向"式和"避让"式;当下城镇年轻知识型群体中出现的个别民俗事象里,看似有标记的词语其实是深层次上的无标记。     

Beyond the literary veil – Women writing Africa: The northern region (2009)

Abstract

Whenever African literature is discussed there is an articulated incorrect assumption that this relates to all the regions of Africa, except North Africa. A related further assumption is that only men in North Africa write. Female writers from the North barely receive critical attention, although they have been writing creative works. The aim of this article is to dispel the notion of literary drought when describing North Africa. Using the text, Women writing Africa: The northern region, the article demonstrates the different sensibilities that female authors in North Africa have created and manifest, when writing against patriarchy as well as against ideological philistinism within their communities. It is argued that female authors from North Africa – African-Arab women – are versatile in their imaginations as they engage with social reality from the perspective of creative art as well as political discourse. The article concludes that this assertion removes the literary veil so that North African female authors can begin to be appreciated artistically, more than has been the situation up to now.
