A Different Story to Share”: Asian American English Teachers in Taiwan and Idealized “Nativeness” in EFL

title: A Different Story to Share”: Asian American English Teachers in Taiwan and Idealized “Nativeness” in EFL abstract: In a broader context where English is marketed as a desirable product of consumption, hiring English speakers as language teachers and de facto cultural ambassadors is a common practice in some East Asian countries. This paper investigates how 20 self-identified Asian American teachers in Taiwan teaching English in local schools wrestle with the positionality of their racialized selves and idealized “nativeness.” Using an informal interview approach, a grounded theory framework, and narrative analysis, we investigated how participants made sense of their Asian American-ness in the ELT profession in Taiwan. Findings include complex feelings involving the image of Asian Americans, strategic language use to construct Asian-American-in-Taiwan identities, and unique interpretations of teaching U.S. culture. We discuss the emotional labor and strategic discourses these teachers undertook to convert their cultural and linguistic capital and offer suggestions for professional and curriculum development.

A comparative study of the sound profiles of sites of initiation in french and mandarin recycling repair

title: A comparative study of the sound profiles of sites of initiation in french and mandarin recycling repair abstract: This study examines the sound profiles of sites of initiation in French and Mandarin recycling repair. Instances of recycling repair were extracted from comparative speech corpora of naturally occurring, face-to-face Mandarin and French interaction. By the interactional prosody approach plus impressionistic judgments, each repair was annotated for its prosodic realization, including relative pitch height, duration, silent pauses and other sound cues for initiating the repair. Through comparing results of acoustic measurements, the discussion focuses on the similarities and differences in the sound realization while initiating and accomplishing recycling repair in both languages. It is suggested that interlocutors of the two languages may orient to rather different methods of initiating the repair in that French speakers tend to incorporate lengthening at the repair initiating sites plus optional filled pauses, while Mandarin speakers employ quick cut-offs for repair initiation, followed by immediate repair.

＂It's Work Work Work...＂: Caryl Churchill's Feminist Critique of Work in Fen

title: ＂It's Work Work Work...＂: Caryl Churchill's Feminist Critique of Work in Fen abstract: 被視為戲劇界重量級的英國劇作家，凱洛．邱琪兒（Caryl Churchill,1938-）在《沼澤地》（Fen 1983）中表現出她對勞工階級女性的關心。本文分析《沼澤地》一劇中邱琪兒對工作（work）的女性主義批評，並探求勞工階級女性的主體意識。論文第一部分以沼澤地婦女為例，重新檢視工作地方（workplace）。首先分析公私領域分離的意識形態，而後進一步論證勞工階級女性不受傳統的公私領域分離規範，不論是私領域或是公領域都是她們的工作場所。第二部分緊接討論在沼澤地工作與家庭工作中的異化感（alienation）。基於性別差異，勞工階級女性受到更強烈的異化感且亦與男性的異化感不同。最後，論文第三部分研究勞工階級女性覺醒於父權與資本主義意識形態的可能，並說明女性主體（female subject）改變的潛能。

Starting from the Family: Gender Relations and Black Resistance in Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun

title: Starting from the Family: Gender Relations and Black Resistance in Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun abstract: A Raisin in the Sun (1959) is the first play written by an African American woman to be produced in a Broadway theater, and the writer, Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965), became the first black playwright to win the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award. Set in a segregated Chicago neighborhood in the 1950s, A Raisin in the Sun realistically reflects the historical background of the African American civil rights movement. This paper examines gender relations in the Younger family through an analysis of the family structure, which symbolically represents black society during the period of the civil rights movement, in order to problematize the dual oppression of gender and race. Divided into three body sections, the paper first provides a feminist critique of the patriarchal ideology disguised as matriarchy and antiracism. By centering on Big Walter and Walter, the second section argues that the Younger family is male headed, and the establishment of masculinity is important for black resistance against racism at the time. The third section constitutes a new image of African American women by exploring the way they participate in the social movement and how they achieve gender liberation, and it especially focuses on Mama Lena Younger, who helps her family unite to resist racism according to her standpoint as a black woman. In short, while A Raisin in the Sun celebrates African American dignity and pride at the end, it also successfully demystifies the ideology of matriarchy by revealing the male-headed structure of the Younger family and destroys the stereotype of matriarchs by showing Lena's feminist thought.

Confucian Principles: A Study of Chinese Americans’ Interpersonal Relationships in Selected Children’s Picturebooks

title: Confucian Principles: A Study of Chinese Americans’ Interpersonal Relationships in Selected Children’s Picturebooks abstract: There has not been enough critical analysis of children’s literature by and about Chinese Americans, especially when compared to other minority groups in the United States. In particular, Chinese American historical books lack extensive analysis. It is important to reflect cultural accuracy in literature and to help children develop clear concepts of self and others by providing precise cultural and physical characteristics of people. While cultural authenticity allows children the opportunity to see a reflection of real experiences within a book instead of seeing stereotypes or misrepresentations, obtaining correct information about a certain time period can help children to see images of immigration accurately represented in literature. Using the Confucian delineation of interpersonal relationships as the major criterion of cultural authenticity, this article examines three currently available children’s picturebooks set in the historical period between 1848 and 1885. In addition to exploring how Chinese Americans’ interpersonal relationships are portrayed in these children’s historical books, this article argues for more proactive inclusion of the diversity in selection of picturebooks.

身體如表現：波特萊爾的步態式書寫

title: 身體如表現：波特萊爾的步態式書寫 abstract: 本研究延伸巴爾札克的《步態原理》，透過觀察與凝視波特萊爾詩中一連串的「步態」場景與展演，假設身體步態作為詩人移動書寫的一種參照，亦即走路行徑一如創作表現，而身體移動的特殊徵候（la physiologie）一如書寫的修辭技巧（la rhétorique）。在波特萊爾進行創作的年代，巴黎正經歷一場深刻的現代化幻滅，密謀反抗改革之勢不斷在暗處凝聚，而波特萊爾這位習慣從巴黎現代生活中挖掘書寫素材的詩人，他描繪的一些平凡的人物形象，以及各種溢於言表的細節，攪渾了近一個世紀以來現代性意識形態的水面；不過，似乎很少有人真正意識到他所勾勒的形象與細節──尤其是有關移動的身體步態──在其詩語言創作所扮演的顛覆意義。本文將循著詩人的詩作，拾掇一些有利於闡明本文主題的人物形象，包含過路女子、紈袴子、漫遊者等，最後以德勒茲「無器官身體」的概念進行總結，嘗試對身體移動的步態與波特萊爾詩作之間的曖昧關係，進行一番勾勒。 As an extension of Balzac's Theory of Gait, this article observes and contemplates a series of gaits in Baudelaire's poems, relating body gaits to writing movements just like the walking gait can be used as expressions of creative works, and the physiology of corporal movements as the rhetoric skills of writing. When Baudelaire wrote his poems, Paris was undergoing a profound disillusionment with the modernization process. Conspiracies against the big reforms were engaged clandestinely. And Baudelaire, the poet who seemed more interested in images of the folks, in details that go beyond what is written, has been looking for his writing resources in the modern life of Paris city. But few people are really aware that these images and details, especially the detailed descriptions of body gait, not only transformed the modernist ideology but played a subversive role in the poetic language. This article follows the poet's traces and works, picking up alongside some figures or images which help clarify some points of our subject, including passer-by, dandy, flâneur, etc.... In the end, we use the term of ＂body without organs＂ by Deleuze to analyze or to draw outline of ambiguous relationships between corporal movements and Baudelaire's poems.

譯者主體性與語言生態

title: 譯者主體性與語言生態 abstract: 翻譯定義不下千百種，鮮少有如貝爾曼 (A. Berman) 所建議者如此耐人尋味—吟唱詩人所謂「遠方的驛站」—帶有母語懷柔之心，殷勤接待他者。事實上，亙古以來多少譯者克服了來自遠方語言的障礙，最終只是迴音一場！抑或被霸權窒息的偏遠聲音，終究找到驛站發聲？本文將以貝爾曼翻譯批評中有關譯者倫理的觀點為主，以皮姆 (A. Pym) 翻譯史的方法論為輔，回顧與探討在五四運動前後所發生之翻譯高潮，其相關譯者在當時社會、政治、經濟、歷史與文化脈絡的醞釀之下，對翻譯理論所產生的歷史詭辯與軌變，以及譯者主體性的興衰更迭；其中，尤其針對翻譯活動對中文語言演進的生態所產生的影響提出論述。 Hundreds of definitions of translation have been suggested over the years, but few are as intriguing as the one offered by A. Berman (1942-1991), who said that translation is the ＂inn of the remote of the troubadour, which receives strangers within the very heart of mother tongue.＂ In fact, since the dawn of humankind, how many translators have helped to surmount the barriers of distance with a translation which yet provided a mere echo-as if the voice of the remote, silenced by hegemony, finds its own voice? This article focuses on the ethics of translation, an approach to translation studies proposed by Berman and supported by A. Pym's methodology of translation history. Using their arguments about the translator's subjectivity, I focus on translations from other languages into Chinese around the time of China's May 4^th movement. Here I explore such questions as how, in the social, political, economic and historical contexts of that time, might Chinese translators have changed the historical discourses and trajectories of translation theory? How, then, was the translator's identity altered? Among other issues, I am especially interested in the impact at this time of the Chinese translations of foreign language texts, and of what one might call the ethics of foreignization, on the evolution of the Chinese language itself.

漫遊者波特萊爾：從巴黎到台北，一個現代身體移置的經驗

title: 漫遊者波特萊爾：從巴黎到台北，一個現代身體移置的經驗 abstract: 本文是一篇以漫遊者的身體經驗所寫成的巴黎─台北城市史。透過本雅明筆下現代城市「漫遊者」（flâneur）的原型──詩人波特萊爾，這個在十九世紀的巴黎街頭無所事事、遊移的波希米亞人，如何在閒逛的過程中，冷眼目睹逐漸消長的新、舊巴黎，並以身體碰撞永恆的現代性寓言。而很多人不知道，台北在 1970 年前後曾有一段「巴黎化」的過程，包括仁愛圓環、仁愛路、敦化北路林蔭大道以及各項公共藝術的推動等，構想源頭即來自巴黎。據此，本文嘗試從「漫遊者」波特萊爾身體力行的巴黎城作為出發點來理解台北的漫遊文化：在不同時空中的漫遊者，他們是誰？看到什麼？他們的身體如何移動？與他者的關係為何？而用一個歷史漫遊回顧的腳步，來探討台北漫遊文化的轉變，這不僅僅對城市空間外在感官的歷史表列而已，亦即過去對於漫遊者的「身體」所存在的集體與一般的意象，更著重的是身體的內在尊嚴以及身體的多樣性。而在追溯這個身體在時空移動的軌跡時，我們卻發現這個身體，矛盾地以自由為名被規訓化了。 The article is an urban history of Paris-Taipei with the corporal experience of flâneurs. Through Baudelaire, the archetype of flâneur in the works of Benjamin, we try to see how this idle wandering bohemian of the 19^th century Paris streets looked coldly at the decline of the city and created the eternal fables of Modernity with body collisions. And few people know that there was ＂the Paris-based＂ reconstruction process in Taipei around 1970, including Dun Hua and Ren Ai grand boulevards and some public art works, the ideas just came from Paris city. Accordingly, this paper attempts to see the flâneur culture in the footsteps of Baudelaire: the flâneurs of different periods of time, who are they? What do they see? How does their body move? And how are their relationships with others? And to review the flâneur culture of Taipei with the historical footsteps, this is not only a historical listing of corporal sensations for external urban space, or the collective or general images of the flâneur's body in the past, but more emphasis is put on the inherent dignity and diversity of the body. While following this retroactive trajectory of the body, we find that this body, contradictorily, has been disciplined in the name of freedom.

(En)gendered Politics: Representing Congress Members in the Best-selling Tabloid Newspaper in Taiwan

title: (En)gendered Politics: Representing Congress Members in the Best-selling Tabloid Newspaper in Taiwan abstract: The article focuses on a study, conducted by researcher Yachien Huang, related to gender inequality in media coverage particularly in tabloid newspapers and political participation of women in Taiwan. Topics include transformation of gendered representation into a complicated form, more coverage to congressmen as compared to congresswomen, tendency of tabloid newspaper coverage to report on women's relationship and marital status, and portrayal of male politicians in a more forgiving manner.

Mandarin-speaking children’s distal demonstrative in conversational discourse

title: Mandarin-speaking children’s distal demonstrative in conversational discourse abstract: This study aims to explore Mandarin-speaking children's uses of the distal demonstrative 'na(ge)' in child-adult conversations. Three types of data were utilized: 4-year-old naturalistic data, 4-year-old and 5-year-old controlled conversations. Five discourse-pragmatic functions of the distal demonstrative were identified: the deictic use, the endophoric use, the connective use, the pause-filler function, and the unidentified use, a peculiar use found in child discourse, which further reveals children's inability to properly manage common ground in discourse. A comparison of the distribution of different functions across the data groups shows that children may have acquired the semantics and some pragmatic functions of the distal demonstrative in early years, but they may not yet fully develop the ability to establish common ground and manage coherence until they are five.

Hao-De-Xia-Ren: The grammatical property of de in Mandarin V-de-C construction

title: Hao-De-Xia-Ren: The grammatical property of de in Mandarin V-de-C construction abstract: 本研究旨在探討中文V得C結構中的獨特語法單位「得」。筆者認為此一語法單位，依據其在語句中的句法行為，應可視為一個衍生後綴(derivational suffix)，附加在動詞首(head verb)後。動詞在附加此一後綴後，其原本的論元結構(argument structure)則會受到改變，整體「Ｖ得」形式要求整整兩個論文，其中一個論元為動詞首本身所帶的論元，而另一個論元則是附加的「得」後綴所帶的句式補語論元(COMP或XCOMP)。因此，「Ｖ得」形式的形成應該是一個詞彙歷程(lexical process)而不會是個句法歷程(syntactic process)；在「Ｖ得」形成之後，整體的論元結構投射或對應到相應的句法單位而形成Ｖ得Ｃ結構。本研究的分析，不僅緊守詞彙完整性(lexical integrity)與詞彙本身的任意性(idiosyncrasies)，也保有語法本身的簡單性(simplicity)，因為本研究的分析並未為了解釋一個特殊結構而創造任何新的語法單位，同時也保有語言系統模組(module)的獨立性(autonomy)。

Insertion or deletion: Rethinking an old morphophonological issue

title: Insertion or deletion: Rethinking an old morphophonological issue abstract: This study rethinks an old issue concerning the generation of the allomorphs of the English past tense suffix -ed. Based on historical and synchronic data, it is proposed that the underlying phonological representation of the suffix should better be /əd/ and the schwa gets deleted in the generation of the surface representation under phonological conditions. Given the proposal, the historical development of the suffix can be incorporated into the new account, and the spelling of the past tense suffix, which is highly connected with the phonological information of the suffix, is accounted for as well. This proposal thus implies that the English past tense suffix is generated through a different phonological process from the plural suffix and the third person singular present tense suffix.

Children’s formal division of labor in requests

title: Children’s formal division of labor in requests abstract: This study aims to shed a light on children’s pragmatic development by examining Mandarin-speaking children’s requests in interactions with their parents. It is found that children between 24 and 36 months old appear to use various request forms, primarily with simple imperatives and WANT statements. A closer examination reveals that children prefer to use simple imperatives in activity-based interactions while both primary forms are found in unstructured daily conversations. The findings suggest that children’s preference for simple imperatives may be driven by their awareness of parents’ cooperativeness in interactional situations. It is thus speculated that simple imperatives and WANT statements may be children’s two primal request forms, but they may pivot on one request form when the situation is right.

「花一點時間去認識部落」：初探碧候部落文化與社區關係

title: 「花一點時間去認識部落」：初探碧候部落文化與社區關係 abstract: 身為台灣的原住民族，世代定居於台灣，其原本具有時間空間等意涵的部落共同體，卻因數百年來經歷不同政權的治理而解裂。原住民部落的發展進程因而相較於一般社區呈現緩慢且落後的現象。在推動部落/社區總體發展時，對部落需有客觀清楚的了解，方可進行規劃。而第一步，便是需要「花一段時間去認識部落」；因此，本研究作為部落/社區發展的背景初探，意將主要焦點置於探究南澳鄉泰雅族碧候村的社區與居民現況，期能替未來社區發展建構認識與規劃的基礎。本研究之研究方法為民族誌，亦即以田野調查來記錄人類生活或方向，並以參與觀察方法，對特定文化及社會蒐集製作資料、紀錄、評價，進而解釋觀察結果。資料的蒐集包括了訪談，影像記錄，觀察筆記等。研究分析主要由六人次的正式訪談紀錄為主體，以主題分析法進行資料分析，並整合出碧候部落文化與社區組織的關係；之後運用田野調查筆記，影像，以及非正式訪談紀錄等等作為補充性資料，來強化已分析出之主題內容。本研究之分析結果主要有兩個主題：一是部落文化。這個主題呈現經由碧候當地人所描繪出的真實碧候，因此包含了碧候部落的歷史地理背景，碧候部落生活印象與生活中的文化傳承。二則是社區關係。本研究雖意欲討論碧候部落中社區與居民現況，但經資料分析後發現宗教對於社區關係實有不小影響，因此在第二個主題中將分兩部分來探討：其一是宗教活動與傳統文化的衝突，其二則是宗教信仰與社區組織的關係。作為初探性研究，本研究最主要的發現，乃是宗教在碧候部落對於部落文化以及社區組織所造成的重大影響。真耶穌教會與其他基督信仰的教會在宣教方式、教義、組織上的差異，以及渠等對於原住民傳統文化及主流社會價值文化衝突時的態度取向，造成｢雙元｣部落/社區的情形發生。而以碧候社區如此特殊的部落特性而言，要使部落內的兩教派共同參與社區活動，則必須深入兩教派與居民互動，以發現與了解兩教派內所各自關心或認同的活動，尋求共同點，並且鼓勵社區內各個組織間的合作。本研究因而建議未來從事原住民部落/社區發展相關研究必須要重視，且應該要納入考慮與討論的變數是部落/社區內的宗教信仰分布。 In recent years, indigenous issues have started to gain attention from society. As a minority group in Taiwan, indigenous people should have the right and the opportunity to keep their own tribal organizations to represent their traditional culture. However, having gone through different political ruling stages, the traditional system in the community/tribe has disappeared. The development of the tribal community is rather slow and outdated. Therefore, it is important to deeply understand the tribal culture before starting to plan community development of tribal villages. And so, the research team decided to spend more time to get to know the community and the tribal culture. This study aims to understand the current situation of the tribal community and the residents’ lives. Hence an ethnographic method was used to record the lives of the Piexau tribal community. Data was collected through participant observations, field notes, individual interviews, images, and logs. Interview data with other data was transcribed and categorized following procedures of Grounded Theory to create themes. There are two major themes in this study: One is the tribal culture, which represents “true Piexau” from eyes of Piexau village’s local residents. Their tribal culture can be presented in three parts: the historical and geographic background of the Piexau, the daily lives of local people, and their cultural traditions. The second theme is the community relationship, which was found directly connected with religious beliefs. Thus two parts are included in the second theme: the conflicts between religious activities and traditional culture, and the relationship between religious belief and community organization. As a preliminary study, the major finding of this study focuses on the significant role that religion plays in Piexau tribal village. The True Jesus Church has different ways of interpreting doctrines, and the attitude towards indigenous traditions is also very different from other Christian Churches. The conflicts in between churches resulted in a dual community where two sides of people refused to participate in the same activity. In order to work on community development in a unique community/tribe like the Piexau, it is important for the researchers to interact with people from both sides and to thoroughly understand the “religious cultures” and the common needs of the community.

國民黨的原住民選舉動員：一個社會文化互動途徑的初探分析

title: 國民黨的原住民選舉動員：一個社會文化互動途徑的初探分析 abstract: 我國選舉制度保障原住民特別席次，其選區劃分係以身分而非戶籍地區分。因此，原住民選民的遷徙，至少就立委選舉層級而言，並不影響其投票權。然而，原住民立委選舉的地理選區仍為全國範圍，就選民分散程度來說，原住民選區遠高過區域選區。在這樣的情形下，過往聚焦於區域選舉而得出的選舉動員相關研究發現，恐未能同樣適用於解釋原住民選舉。不過，社會文化互動理論指出，新遷徙的移民會在建構新身份認同時，會經由雙向定位與歸屬認同的過程中找到新的地位、身分，以及新的「關係模式」，繼而在原生及新社群間建構連結，並相互影響。這種從社會文化互動理論出發的觀點，提供給我們探索現有政治系絡下原住民選舉動員模式的新視角。有鑒於台灣原住民本有強烈之原生社群互動趨勢，在遷移的過程中，不僅大量依靠由原生社群所一起組織而成的新社群提供之社會及人際資源，甚至更進一步利用新社群所建構出之關係與原生社群連接出更緊密之人際資源網絡。因此，本研究擬運用質性研究模式，深度瞭解原住民社群互動的現象，並進一步討論社群互動與人際資源網絡在國民黨原住民選舉動員中所扮演的角色與發展。

宜蘭縣國中小學教師之戶外教學認知研究

title: 宜蘭縣國中小學教師之戶外教學認知研究 abstract: 2008年教育部將校外教學正式納入國中小學校課程，2010年《環境教育法》通過並鼓勵戶外學習，開啟戶外教學新的發展階段。本文運用三次焦點團體座談，收集22位宜蘭縣國中小學教師之戶外教學經驗，並參考 Strauss和Corbin編碼程序進行資料分析，嘗試從教師觀點，重新探討戶外教學的定義與應有的重要元素。本文將受訪教師的戶外教學經驗整理為「戶外教學定義」、「戶外教學規劃原則」、「以體驗為核心的學習模式」與「戶外教學的學習成效」等四大範疇，前兩者屬教學面，後兩者屬學習面。「離開學校與教室」、「離開單調、僵化、制式的學習情境」是受訪教師定義戶外教學的兩大必要條件。但優質的戶外教學規劃還須創造以感官體驗為核心的學習情境，並善用寓教於樂、課程整合與補充教學等原則，使學生獲得學校無法提供的新經驗與正向學習情緒，並提高師生共同學習的興趣和效果。本文依據研究結果指出未來可進一步探討之研究主題，並提出相關的戶外教學實務建議。

Place and Gender in Susan Glaspell’s Trifles and Woman’s Honor

title: Place and Gender in Susan Glaspell’s Trifles and Woman’s Honor abstract: Recognized today as the mother of American drama, Susan Glaspell (1876-1948) plays an important role in 20th-century American literature. Her plays were commercially and critically welcome by the people of her time, but faded from public interest after her death. It is not until feminists in the second wave of the Women’s Liberation Movement that Glaspell finally reclaims her reputation. Glaspell, portraying the Midwest in her works, is usually labeled as a local colorist. However, this paper re-reads Glaspell’s Trifles (1916) and Woman’s Honor (1918) from the perspectives of place and gender in order to explore the interrelationship between the two in Glaspell’s works, such as how place identity is associated with gender identity and how gender relations are constructed in a place. In light of such a new reading, Glaspell becomes a feminist geographer.

野兔與雙胞胎：《羚羊妻子》中的搗蛋鬼

title: 野兔與雙胞胎：《羚羊妻子》中的搗蛋鬼 abstract: 露薏思‧鄂翠曲（Louise Erdrich 1954~）是當代美國原住民文學中重要且受歡迎的作家之一。鄂翠曲的小說以充滿詩意與饒富深刻意義著稱，她同時也是一位多產的作家。她的小說中最受歡迎的角色莫過於搗蛋鬼（trickster），本文即以鄂翠曲的小說《羚羊妻子》（The Antelope Wife 1998）為主，對搗蛋鬼做一個深入的探討。文章共分三部分。首先分析《羚羊妻子》中的搗蛋鬼代表人物柔思與瑪莉奶奶，並以容格（Carl Jung）的原型理論來討論搗蛋鬼作為全人類共「同」現象的集體潛意識。為突顯契帕瓦族搗蛋鬼的「異」，文章第二部分緊接著討論契帕瓦族搗蛋鬼的特色，尤其是契帕瓦族搗蛋鬼常化身為野兔。第三部分緊接著說明小說中的野兔、雙胞胎、「分裂」（daashkikaa）三者密不可分的關係，與契帕瓦族搗蛋鬼所象徵的文化意義與精神力量。如此三個步驟的分析，本文論證搗蛋鬼不僅是全人類共有的相同經驗，同時也因文化不同而保有獨特的意義。

Travel and Empire in Wertenbaker's Our Country's Good

title: Travel and Empire in Wertenbaker's Our Country's Good abstract: In her article “Travel and Empire in Wertenbaker's Our Country's Good” Yi-chin Shih analyzes Our Country's Good from the perspective of travel in order to explore the exercise of empire and the practice of resistance. Considered as one of the luminaries in British theater, Timberlake Wertenbaker (1951-) has produced several successful works, especially Our Country's Good (1988), which won her a Laurence Olivier Award for the Best Play and solidified her reputation as an important playwright in world theater. Our Country's Good is based on real historical facts about the First Fleet's transportation of criminals from England to Australia to build New South Wales in 1787. Shih explores aspects of travel in the early colonial period of Australian history and its relationship between travel and empire.

喝酒弒牛的狂歡：從飲食的角度閱讀《戴神的女信徒》

title: 喝酒弒牛的狂歡：從飲食的角度閱讀《戴神的女信徒》 abstract: 西方戲劇的起源最廣為人接受的是宗教祭祀，尤其源於古希臘酒神慶典時的戲劇比賽。因而「酒神」（Dionysus or Bacchus）成了戲劇研究中重要的主題。本文分析尤瑞皮底斯（Euripides 480-406 BC）的《戴神的女信徒》（The Bacchae, 405 BC），並試圖從「飲食」的角度切入理解戲劇文本中的「飲酒」、「弒牛」與「狂歡」的意義。文章首先將全劇閱讀為新飲食（葡萄酒）傳入希臘所引起的接受或反抗。其次，再討論酒神的動物化身「牛」對儀式的重要性，並引用弗雷澤（J. G. Frazer）對吃神肉的巫術探討與佛洛伊德（Sigmund Freud）對聖餐的解釋，來分析儀式具有慶祝重生之意。文章最後分析儀式中的飲食狂歡。奠基於巴赫金（Mikhail Bakhtin）對狂歡節的討論，本文進一步探討狂歡背後所代表的是絕對的自由或是另一形式的順從。簡言，本文從飲食的角度切入《戴神的女信徒》，輔以文化研究的理論，以豐富文本的閱讀。 The beginning of Western drama is widely regarded as originating in ritual, particularly in the drama competitions of Dionysia in ancient Greece. Dionysus (or Bacchus) thus becomes a major theme in drama studies. This paper reads Euripides' masterpiece, The Bacchae (405 BC), from the perspectives of eating and food. The first part of the paper considers the coming of Bacchus as an import of a new food, wine, from Asia. The acceptability of wine is parallel with the popularity of Bacchus. The second part deals with Bacchus's animal incarnation, bull, and it is based on Frazer's anthropologist theory and Freud's explanation of communion to discuss Pentheus's inevitable death. The paper, finally, analyzes the meanings of eating and food in ritual, and Bakhtin's carnival theory provides an important theoretical background in this part. Overall, the paper, appropriating cultural studies, aims to open different interpretations of the text by re-reading it from the viewpoints of eating and food.

Filial Daughter, Woman Warrior, or Identity-Seeking Fairytale Princess: Fostering Critical Awareness Through Mulan

title: Filial Daughter, Woman Warrior, or Identity-Seeking Fairytale Princess: Fostering Critical Awareness Through Mulan abstract: New immigrants and their children need to develop the ability to reconcile perceived dissonances between the worldviews of their parents and grandparents and those of their peers. This pursuit is made more difficult when they find that their newly adopted homeland misrepresents their cultural heritage. This article examines the historical evolution of the Mulan ballad along with issues of cultural authenticity in folktales. The analysis of three English adaptations of the ballad demonstrates clear contrasts that either support or complicate identity formation. We suggest that this text set could be used to inform critical classroom discussions regarding the plurality and fluidity of culture as well as those pertaining to Chinese heritage and cultural authenticity.

La(re)lecture de «La Tâche du Traducteur» de Walter Benjamin

title: La(re)lecture de «La Tâche du Traducteur» de Walter Benjamin abstract: 此文所旨乃譯者身為智識份子所賦有之自由。一如華爾特‧班雅明，法國哲學家譯者安東尼‧伯曼樂見於將翻譯比擬為文學批評，用來說明譯者角色不可輕忽，其無論於詩意與倫理層面都身居要津，超越單純的翻譯學問題。從閱讀班雅明得知：譯者職責是一種文化工作形式。 The essential question of this research paper is the intellectual liberty of the person who translates. Like Walter Benjamin, French philosopher and translator, Antoine Berman, would fain assimilate the translation to literary critique, this being a way to say that the role of the translator could never be neglected. It is concerned about the incontestable issues, poetic or ethic, which go beyond the simple questions of translatology. The task of the translator, according to our reading of Benjamin, is a form of cultural work.

Mission Civilisatrice : Fixing scientific evidence and other practices of neo-colonialism in social sciences

title: Mission Civilisatrice : Fixing scientific evidence and other practices of neo-colonialism in social sciences abstract: In this paper, we take issue with the supposed superiority of specific epistemologies, methodologies, and research practices, as well as the neocolonialist practices of discovery, development and interpretation of evidence. Furthermore, we illustrate how the colonization of evidence is enacted through discourses of domination, subjectivication, and civilization. We maintain that these practices and discourses intend to establish more unified, narrow, and easily controlled fields of science. In reaction, we argue that the dismantling of systems of domination and hegemony may result from the scientists' commitment to cross the political and methodological boundaries of their practice. Evidence is not about a particular type of data or knowledge, but about how researchers consciously and responsibly operate in various epistemological, methodological, and empirical spaces. Thus, evidence cannot be defined; it can only be described within specific cultural and epistemological contexts.

《荒涼山莊》中的倫敦：都市地景與偵探的誕生

title: 《荒涼山莊》中的倫敦：都市地景與偵探的誕生 abstract: 本文定義狄更斯(Charles Dickens, 1812-70)的《荒涼山莊》(Bleak House, 1852-53) 是一本以倫敦爲主的地方性小說，小說中的各種主題皆起因於十九世紀中倫敦的急速都市化。本文首先探討狄更斯如何再現倫敦的都市地景。狹窄的街道、不良的公共設施、鐵路的興建、與貧民窟的髒亂，透過狄更斯的描寫，顯示出作者對無秩序的都市地景企圖給予定義與評價，然而景觀的描寫卻往往跳脫作者的掌控，猶如倫敦的「霧｣一般無法固定與無法再現。狄更斯的都市地景描寫，一方面表現出都市的可讀性與可控制性，另一方面卻也矛盾地展現都市景觀的不可讀與失控。文章第二部分接著討論這樣無法秩序化的都市景觀，使《荒涼山莊》有了恐怖小說(Gothic novel)的要素。倫敦成了陰鬱沉悶的鬼屋，如迷宮般的街道，如廢墟的貧民窟，如吸血鬼般的大法官，倫敦因而也成了犯罪的溫床。警長貝克特(Bucket)是一名偵探，也是一名都市的漫游者(flâneur)，他的出現表示出全景式與理智性地掌控都市地景，但是卻也反映出都市自然景觀的反抗造成了恐怖與罪惡的倫敦。文章第三部分即討論倫敦的地景成了偵探小說(Detective fiction)中偵探查案的舞台。全文試圖探討狄更斯對都市地景的描繪，並強調地景在此小說中的各種功能。 This paper treats a high regard for Dickens's mature use of London as the multifaceted setting in Bleak House (1852-53). The plots, characters, and themes are all related to the radical urbanization and modernization in nineteenth-century London. This paper first discusses how Dickens represents urban landscape, including narrow streets, the dysfunctional sanitation and sewerage, the building of railways, and the dirty and miserable slum. Dickens's representation attempts to pin down the chaotic city and to re-define the meaning of London. However, the urban landscape is always out of the author's control, just like the fluid and unrepresentable ”fog” in London. Thus, Dickens's description of London, on the one hand, portrays that the city is readable and controllable; on the other hand, it simultaneously reveals that the city is unreadable and incontrollable. This paper then discusses how this unrepresentable and disordered urban landscape becomes the major element of Gothic novel, such as the haunted-house-like London, labyrinth-like streets, ruin-like slum, and vampire-like lawyers. London in this way turns out to be the seedbed of crime. Inspector Bucket is a detective and also a flâneur. The appearance of this character symbolizes a panoptic and rationalized control of urban landscape, but the endless crimes imply the resistance to be dominated. From this perspective, this paper further analyzes that London provides a stage for detection and crime, so Bleak House becomes a detective novel. Overall, this paper attempts to discuss how Dickens represents London and the multiple functions of urban landscape in the Bleak House.
