Gender Representation In English And Arabic Foreign Language Textbooks In Iran: A Comparative Approach, Mitra Baghdadi, Ali Rezaei

Journal of International Women's Studies

Female educational attainment in Iran has been increasing since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran. This study investigated whether this female superiority is reflected or supported in Iranian textbooks. The study investigated how gender roles are represented in Iranian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) and AFL (Arabic as a Foreign Language) textbooks. “Criteria for Analysis of the Equality of Gender Representation” by Rifkin, was used for content analysis. These criteria are grouped into two main categories of ‘pictorial’ and ‘verbal’. The results showed that with no exception and in all criteria, males were represented significantly more than …

Exploring The Contribution Of Teaching And Learning Processes: Constructing Students’ Gender Identity In An Early Years Classroom Of A Government Girls Primary School In Pakistan, Amina Bibi Baig

Journal of International Women's Studies

The construction of gender identity is a complex process which begins at a very early formative age. In these formative years, children begin making sense of how men and women are positioned in society. Schools as important institutions play a significant role in this process particularly with reference to students’ understanding of the gender relationships around them. This article reports on a study which explored how gender identity construction takes place in a single sex (girls) classroom for early years. The study investigated the teacher-student interactions and student-student interactions in the real environment of the classroom. Qualitative research guided the …

The Use Of Eportfolios To Support First Year Student's Metacognitive Thinking, Katie Sabourin, Barbara Lowe, James Bowman

DePeters Family Center for Innovation and Teaching Excellence Publications

Select freshman writing courses at St. John Fisher College are piloting the use of eportfolios in place of the traditional portfolios. The College has created templates that are designed so direct links between course work, goals, and student reflections are explicit. The intent of our study is to evaluate the differences in student’s reflective writing from a variety of freshman level writing courses, including both those using eportfolios and those using traditional paper portfolios. Using a rubric that evaluates student reflections on their understanding of purpose, significance, and relevancy, as well as the student’s overall performance, we will share the …

Sexual Minority Educators And Public Disclosure: How Identity And Culture Influence The Decisions To Be Out In School Settings, Breanna Evans-Santiago

Theses and Dissertations

In thirty years, sexual minority educators will have taught at least 65,676,600 children. Several studies have shown that sexual minority teachers exercise the right to refrain from disclosing their sexual identity because they are aware of the possible repercussions when they "come out" in the K-12 educational setting. Choosing whether or not to disclose their sexual identities may result from the juxtaposition of deciding how and with whom to identify. This study specifically analyzes cultural factors and educators' commitments as professionals in educational settings. This study dissects the stories from five K-12 educators that identify as Lesbian or Bisexual. Several …

A Thematic Research Of Merleau-Ponty's Le Doute De Cézanne, Ying Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This paper examines the theme of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's Le Doute de Cézanne and tries to trace his early thoughts and question consciousness. Albeit a well-known essay, Le Doute de Cézanne is generally regarded as a phenomenological casual essay, but this label does not explain the paradoxes from the perspective of detail and structure of the essay. Merleau-Ponty argued for the discard of personal character, life experience and artistic inheritance in the research of Cezanne but also points out that Cezanne's life and his works shared the same adventure. The essay has also devoted many words to the life of Da …

Literature And The Therapy Of Passion: Catharsis Against The Extreme Violence, Darmon Jean-Charles, Xi Xiao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Jonathan Littell's novel The Kindly Ones describes the process and details of the holocaust from the perspective of a Nazi officer and in doing so it depicts the protagonist as an ancient Greek tragic hero. This way of appropriating the antagonist to the empathy effect and literary catharsis and sympathy tries to achieve therapeutic purpose, but this way invokes much criticism. How can fiction interact with the (re) construction of emotions associated to mass extermination, especially when such emotions are reactivated from the point of view of an SS officer? After reexamining some of the questions raised by Jonathan Littell's …

Art And Annotation: On The Relationship Of Visibility And Annotation In The Visual Arts, Majetschak Stefan

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Works of the visual arts in the tradition of European and American modernism have lost many of the features that were considered for a long time to be obvious characteristics of the artistic constitution of art works as such. In fact, it proved to be the case early in the modern period that there did not have to be any features or characteristics — neither material nor phenomenal — by means of which artistic artifacts could be distinguished from non-artistic objects. For works of art and humdrum everyday objects can in borderline cases appear identical to the eye of an …

"Lament" As A Genre In Literary Mind And The Carving Of Dragons And Selections Of Refined Literature, Junling Zhao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Liu Xie's Literary Mind and Xiao Tong's Selections of Refined Literature had different definitions and understanding of the genre to lament. Liu Xie's aim was to distinguish different style, so he defined the lament as a genre with the features shown in the earlier writings such as Pan Yue's lamentations over pre-mature deaths, and he did not include into the genre the later stylistic development. Xiao Tong took Pan Yue's more ritualistic Elegy for His Wife as an example for lament style. The main reason behind their differences lies in the fact that Liu Xie's expounding covered only to the …

Art, Brain And Aesthetics: On The Development, Significance And Vision Of Contemporary Western Neuroaesthetics, Jun Hu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The process of aesthetic activity is an important part of aesthetic research, and aesthetic activities concerns the people, or specifically the human brain. In order to examine the process of aesthetic activity, the neural mechanisms of human brain become an important scientific basis for aesthetic research. Neuroaesthetics, emergent in Europe and America in recent years, provides not only a new perspective but also a very important scientific basis for aesthetic development. This paper intends to elaborate on the methods, scope, field, findings, aesthetic sense, deficiencies and future prospects for neuroaesthetics.

Between Language And Time: Yale School's Theoretical Generation And Its Location In The Intellectual History, Dengyun Dai

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The Yale School constructed a new mode of poetics research through its departure from the New Criticism and imbibitions of Continental thoughts, and its contribution to poetics lies in its generative poetics that shifts the focus of literary studies from the scientificalness of literary criticism, the literariness of literary texts and the factualness of literary history to the generation of literary criticism, literary text and literary history. The fundamental reason behind the Yale School's achievement lies in the fact that the Yale School theorists, under the context of linguistic turn and time philosophy turn in modern Western philosophy, with their …

On Lou Fang's Concept Of Moderation In His Prose Compilation The Recipe For Classical Prose, Xiaochuan Yu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Lou Fang's prose compilation The Recipe for Classical Prose was one of the most representative anthologies of ancient Chinese prose since its print in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Lou's commentaries in the anthology and his idea behind the compilation were emulated thereafter. The central rationale for selecting a piece of prose writing was Confucian moderation, emphasizing on the orthodoxy subject matter and moderate aesthetic taste, while the scope of selection was broad and the comments laconic and pertinent. His selection emphasized on the deliberate digression and implicitness of expression and the structuring of meaning delivery in the text, and …

Telling, Telling Style Essay And Storytelling, Jinfeng Zhou

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In ancient China, storytelling (xiao shuo, literally, trivial telling) was considered as trivial in terms of the scope of the story, and in the pre-Qin period a type of "telling-style essay" was formed on the basis of telling. With "telling" as a link, the telling-style essay was related to "storytelling." There were different types of telling-style essay, each type having different stylistic features and functions. Among these types, the one that emphasized the exposition through imagistic narrative became the transition from "telling" to "storytelling," and this type of telling-style essay exhibited some stylistic connotations and features that profoundly influenced the …

Desire, Currency And Modern Urban Space: A Rereading Of Shi Zhecun's "The Spring Sun", Xiaoping Song

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

With Shi Zhecun's (1905 年-2003 年) story "The Spring Sun" as an example, the paper aims to examine the two aspects of female experiences. The first is to explore the unique experience of the flaneuse in modern urban space and the symptoms of the female body in the heterogeneity of the traditional township space and modern urban space. The other is to analyze how the urban consumption space and the gaze evoke female desire and how money in the process of consumption constructs and deconstructs the female day-dreaming.

Žižek And The Repoliticization Of Western Contemporary Literary Theory, Xinting Liu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

By focusing on Žižek's narrative of "post-politics," the paper elaborates on Žižek's politics of enjoyment and his reflection and critique of multiculturalism and identity politics, as well as his refusal of simplistic intervention and action. The paper maintains that Žižek rethinks the relation between the particular and the universal and opens a way of repoliticizing the political philosophy and cultural theory.

Cognitive Poetics As A Bridge Between Formal And Impressionist Criticism: On Reuven Tsur's Toward A Theory Of Cognitive Poetics, Huibin He

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In Reuven Tsur' Toward a Theory of Cognitive Poetics, cognitive science is used to explain why certain literary text can produce certain aesthetic effect, and hence a bridge between formal criticism and impressionist criticism is built. In Tsur's book, convergent and divergent styles are set as the two extremes of stylistics, while wit and emotion as two extremes of aesthetic effects. Tsur can then discuss poetry from seven aspects, giving fresh explanations to such aesthetic terms the sublime and the grotesque from the perspective of cognitive science.

Ideas Of Poetry Study And The Paradigms Of Chinese Poetry Studies, Shilun Zhong

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

From "the study of poetry and prose" in the pre-Qin period (before 221-207 B.C.) to "the study of The Book of Poetry" in the Han Dynasty and to "the study of poetry" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the idea of poetry study in China undergoes constant change from the earliest concept of "expressing will (yanzhi)" in the antiquity. "Expressing will" is "recording events (jishi)" and "writing down the speech (jiyan) ," and fictionalization has no value in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. The act of recording contributes the main content of Chinese ancient poetry, while the appropriation of poetry …

Ihab Hassan: The Pioneer Of The Theorization Of Postmodernism, Juan Mao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Ihab Hassan is a pioneer and key figure in the theoretical debate on postmodernism in the late half of the twentieth Century. In a relative stagnant period of literary criticism theory, he surveys various types of pioneer literature, proposes for the first time the theory of postmodernism, and elaborates on the characteristics and theoretical implications of postmodernism. He extends the theory of postmodernism further to the fields of culture and philosophy, and with it his influence has also spread from the United States to Europe and other parts of the world. Hassan defines the fundamental characteristics of postmodernism as "indetermanence." …

Karaoke-Style Rituals And Music: On The Practice Of Karaoke And The Problem Of Modernity, Guanjun Wu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

As one of the key parts of metropolitan life and popular culture in contemporary China, Karaoke has so far eluded the scope of scholarly study. This paper aims not just at analyzing the phenomena spurred by Karaoke activity but essentially at developing a structural analysis of this activity itself. By juxtaposing Karaoke against the Confucian thought on music, this paper argues that the structure of Karaoke constitutes a key feature of modernity and manifests what I call the "crisis of sincerity."

On The Idea Of Progress In The Literary Criticism In The Seventeen Years After 1949 And Its Influence, Pengcheng Kou

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In the field of pre-modern Chinese literature, progress usually referred to the countercurrent of the revival of the ancient styles or practice and it often came with the claim that each era should have a literature with its own new spirit. The concept of progress in modern literature, however, was developed fundamentally with Darwin's evolutionism, which in literary studies displayed a temporal linear development. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the idea of progress in literature implies the literature which serves the masses and the revolution, with a proletariat ideology and a realistic approach. Progress, therefore, refers …
