“You Can Do It Baby”: Non-Task Talk with an In-Car Speech Enabled System     

Elizabeth Molina-Markham  Brion van Over  Sunny Lie  Donal Carbaugh 《Communication quarterly》2016,64(3):324-347

Natural language speech enabled systems are an attractive option for in-car infotainment. Differences in cultural expectations in communication, however, can pose difficulties for interface developers and cause frustration for users. We adopt the perspective of cultural discourse theory to analyze 26 drivers interacting with an in-car speech interface. We focus here on directive sequences and the phenomenon of participants using non-task talk. The analysis of these sequences reveals a norm that one ought to engage in non-task talk with the system. We suggest that this norm is grounded in a user premise that the system’s interactional status involves the ability to speak. We find that this norm lacks crystallization among participants, and we formulate a competing norm that helps to account for this. The second norm reveals an underlying belief that the system’s status as a machine is the basis for how it should be treated.  相似文献   

Cultural capital as whiteness? Examining logics of ethno-racial representation and resistance     

Derron Wallace 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2018,39(4):466-482

There is a significant, longstanding tradition in British sociological research that renders cultural capital synonymous with whiteness. This article suggests that one substantive factor that contributes to the enduring relationship between whiteness and cultural capital is the paucity of research on the Black and ethnic minority middle classes. Studies of social class in the United Kingdom frequently render middle-class life synonymous with whiteness and all too often fix ethno-racial identities to the working classes. The article draws on a 14-month comparative ethnography as a case study to provide an asset-based reading of cultural capital among the Black Caribbean middle classes in Britain. The findings suggest that the seemingly exclusive link between whiteness and cultural capital is problematised by Black Caribbean young people, and therefore should be further critiqued in sociological and educational research, especially when developing cultural capital analyses.  相似文献

The seeming ‘round trip’ of learner-centred education: a ‘best practice’ derived from China’s New Curriculum Reform?     

Yun You 《比较教育学》2019,55(1):97-115

ABSTRACT

Inspired by the ‘advanced’ Western experience, China has implemented the New Curriculum Reform promoting learner-centred education since 2001. The OECD has identified this reform as a key feature contributing to Shanghai’s ‘PISA success’, worthy in turn of re-imitation by the West. Drawing upon official documents and interview data, this article shows that learner-centred education has been well accepted in rhetoric, which has led to more time being given to pupil activities. However, in reality, teaching and learning practices have continued to reflect what Confucian scholars have persistently advocated. Moreover, this article illustrates that the ‘round trip’ of learner-centred education between the East and the West has only taken place on the surface. The Chinese government has relied on the transformed Western concept for policy legitimacy, while international policy agencies have nevertheless deployed the case of China as an ideal exemplar to justify this Western concept as a global ‘best practice’.  相似文献   

客家研究的文化人类学思考   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

周建新 《江西师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2003,36(4):113-117

客家化既是一种地域化，又是一种族群化，需要多学科知识的整合与运用。由于客家研究起源于历史学，而且客家研究的学及其研究理论与方法均多出自于历史学科，因此化人类学在客家研究中远不如历史学为人们所重视。实际上，化人类学的理论与方法是深入认识客家化的重要手段，田野调查与深度访谈的基本方法在客家研究中理应得到重视和运用。  相似文献   

人要不要精神生活     

葛剑雄 《复旦教育论坛》2005,3(3):8-10

人要不要精神生活，怎样看待精神与物质生活的关系，本文认为，放弃精神生活和把精神生活强调得到了虚幻的地步都是不可取的。过于强调物质生活，甚至将“经济效益”、“现实服务”作为衡量科学研究和学术活动的唯一标准就会带来灾难性后果。我们提倡爱国主义关键在于确立一种信念，树立一种信仰，这些离不开精神力量的支撑，对于一所大学来说，精神力量是不可忽视的。  相似文献

当代小说中的“鞋”——当代文学的意象研究之一   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

樊星 《襄樊学院学报》2004,25(6):54-57

从文学传统看,"鞋者谐也",鞋有性的意味。当代作家在作品中赋予鞋更为丰富的文化意义。冯骥才的《三寸金莲》中的鞋,是文化批判的证明;刘庆邦的《鞋》与红柯《靴子》中的鞋,是柔情的证明;而苏童的《回力牌球鞋》与朱文颖的《高跟鞋》是时尚的证明;而韩少功的《鞋癖》则是历史的证明。  相似文献
