济慈对闻一多诗学理论的影响

闻一多在现代诗坛的独特性在于他具有中西兼顾的视野,在他的人生道路选择、关于诗歌美学原则、诗歌审美特征以及实现诗美手段等诗论方面,明显受到了英国诗人济慈的影响。然而,他不是一味的西化,而是在传统文化的背景下,坚持走“中西结合”的理论与创作之路,为我国诗坛做出了贡献。     

Kurt Tucholsky,John Heartfield and Deutschland,Deutschland über Alles

This essay analyses Kurt Tucholsky and John Heartfield's 1929 Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles. In this ‘picture‐book’ right‐wing nationalism, the military, the democratic system, and capitalism were trenchantly criticized. This essay argues, however, that Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles is as much about the role of photography in society as it is about Weimar's political situation. The late 1920s are generally seen as a period of medium optimism in which the new photography was in the forefront. Yet a close analysis of the use of photography in Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles nuances the so‐called optimism of Weimar visual culture and its sudden disruption by the advent of fascism in the 1930s. While from the early 1910s onwards, Tucholsky had promoted the polemical power of photography, his position shifted by the end of the 1920s. An ambivalence marked Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles: on the one hand the photographic medium was used as a critical tool; on the other, the book reflects an underlying critique of and frustration with photojournalism and its association with urban modernity.     

“Wanted: Some Black Long Distance [Writers]”: Blackboard Flava-Flavin and other AfroDigital experiences in the classroom

This essay examines how students of African descent at a predominantly black college on the East Coast digitally perform their ethnic identities and rhetorics in a freshman composition course. The essay begins by showing how multiple uses of signifying frame students’ Blackboard discussions where they use a type of trickster motif to enact their agreements, disagreements, challenges, and questions, very much akin to Flava Flav's initial cultural role as part of the Rap/activist group, Public Enemy. Students’ online writing groups are then examined by focusing on one particular group, the “Black Long Distance Writers,” whose title signifies and signals the work of the African American writer and activist, John Oliver Killens, most notably, his seminal 1973 essay, “Wanted: Some Black Long Distance Runners.” The understandings of these “Black Long Distance Writers” bear the most powerful definition of literacy and computer-based writing instruction because their framework is not contingent upon making digitally divided minorities more technologically advanced and better at one type of English, its culture of power, or its academic discourses. Instead, these students experience rhetoric and writing as a way to alter the ways that knowledge is constructed for them and about them, “revocabularizing” the academy and its technologies. Such freshman writers are re-envisioned in this kind of cyberspace as constructors of and co-participants in black intellectual and rhetorical traditions … now AfroDigitized.

Hutchinsonianism and the Newtonian Enlightenment

Abstract. Historians of science have labeled followers of the 18th cosmologist John Hutchinson (1674– 1737) as anti‐Newtonian. While Hutchinson was clearly anti‐Newtonian, this was not the case with later followers like George Horne and William Jones. Horne and Jones sought a rapprochement between Newton and Hutchinson; in their hands, interpretations of Newton's works were refashioned to support Hutchinson's biblically based cosmos and Trinitarian natural philosophy. Newton's thought could be used by conservative Anglican Churchmen to battle religious heterodoxy. This raises problems for traditional Enlightenment historiography which views Newtonianism as a set of ideas which supported and reinforced emerging modern forms of political and religious thought.     

How Specific Interactions Drive the Complex Organisation of Building Blocks

Can artificial materials be developed that rival nature's ability to self-assemble and self-replicate? Zorana Zeravcic, lecturer and researcher at the École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles Paris Sciences et Lettres Research University in Paris, outlines investigations on the subject being carried out by her department and by counterparts at Harvard University in the US. Drawing on methodologies and knowledge from across the sciences, their simulations have yielded previously unenvisioned complex functionalities that could transform the way we build.     

Learning from the West Coast: Long-Termism and Change – An Interview with Stewart Brand

Stewart Brand has been a key figure in the alternative culture of the US West Coast since the 1960s. The key message in his various publications has been that communities should be enabled to constantly reshape their own environments. In conversation with former Technical Editor of AD Peter Murray , he describes his lifestyle and influences – from the hippy movement, to time working for California Governor Jerry Brown in the 1970s, to writers such as Gregory Bateson, Frank Duffy and Christopher Alexander – and advocates a loose-fit ‘architecture of systems’, rather than a fixed and limiting ‘architecture of moulds’.     

The Deep Structure of the Picturesque

The late Paul Coates was one of the first students at the Architectural Association (AA) in London to submit an international computation-based diploma, in 1969. Responsible for introducing a series of computational techniques, Coates was also the founder of the MSc in Computing and Design at the University of East London, and in 2002 the Centre for Evolutionary Computing in Architecture (CECA). In this unpublished article from 2008, which has been prepared and rewritten for publication by Christian Derix , Coates recounts his pursuit of ‘the particle physics of architecture’ - geometric rules that inform both unplanned and planned human occupation of space.     

John L. Kennedy (1913–1984).

John Lyon Kennedy received his doctorate in 1937 for his dissertation on the neurological basis of movement perception. His many career steps included psychical research at Stanford; work for the Office of Scientific Research and Development; and cutting edge involvement in the evolution of human engineering from applied experimental psychology, biomechanics, and engineering psychology. He joined the Rand Corporation, where he established the Systems Research Laboratory. He accepted as a challenge the question of how to study the behavior of a total air defense system—as a system. Other accomplishments included being the chair of the Psychology Department at Princeton from 1958 to 1966, while also working with a number of external organizations, including the System Development Corporation, the Peace Corps, the Psychological Corporation, and the National Science Foundation. He finished his teaching career as a professor of management at California State University at Northridge, but continued as a Fulbright Hays Lecturer at the Vienna Institute of Commerce. Kennedy passed away in 1984. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
