《左传》的口头叙事研究——以重耳故事为例

《左传》中的重耳故事是一个完整的、独立的、自足的叙事圆环,可以作为一个独立的叙事整体进行研究,也是《左传》采录口头文本的痕迹的最佳例证。以口头诗学理论三个层面的结构性单元(程式、主题、故事范式)逐层分析《左传》中的重耳故事可以发现:《左传》对重耳的叙事多次运用了口头叙事所特有的主题与重复叙事,《左传》中的重耳故事与西方的英雄传说在故事范式方面有着惊人的一致性。这些分析基本确定《左传》中有关重耳的记载源于当时口耳相传的故事文本,而并非史实的直录或作者的构思创作。     

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words: Building American National Identity Through Art

ABSTRACT

Even though agonistic democratic theory espouses and celebrates competition, it seemingly lacks a coherent ethic for decent winning and losing in everyday political life. This article is an effort to fill this void by suggesting a practice-based, non-perfectionist ethic drawn from sport. Focusing on Xenophon's On Hunting, we argue that sport, properly defined, offers an appropriate experience with ponos (toil, suffering) that teaches citizens perseverance, humility, generosity, empathy, and stewardship. This sporting ethic, we argue, provides a more suitable model for winning and losing in public life than the martial basis of agonistic democratic theory.     

Unspeakable: The Story of Junius Wilson

While all individuals have a story, not all individuals’stories offer great insights about American history. This accountof Junius Wilson's life (1908–2001) provides a devastatingcritique of North Carolina social norms and policies (especiallyattitudes to the deaf and to African Americans), court operations,state institutionalization and treatment of the insane, andaccess to justice. Mr. Wilson was "incarcerated in an insaneasylum merely because he was deaf, black, and poor, and bureaucraticinertia and staff paternalism helped keep him there for [morethan] sixty-five years" (129). Not only was he imprisoned physicallybut also he was isolated culturally since he was denied access
