英语拓展课美国社会与文化教学大纲

大学英语拓展课《美国社会与文化》教学大纲课程名称:美国社会与文化 课程代码: 学分/总学时:3.5/72 开课单位:外国语学院 授课对象:非英语专业大二本科生 一、课程的性质、任务和特色 美国社会与文化是大学英语拓展课程,本课程面向二年级已经通过四级或六级的学生开设,旨在满足学生更高的学习需求。已经过了四、六级的大学生,原有的教材和教学模式已经不能满足他们的需求。大学英语拓展课程的开设已经成为必然,拓展课程包括英语国家社会与文化、奥斯卡影视欣赏、外贸口语、翻译、写作等等,美国社会与文化课程是整个拓展课程群的重要组成部分。本课程的主要内容涵盖美国地理、历史、政治、经济、文化、教育等多层面内容,既有表面现象的了解,又有内在原因的分析。本课程以教师自制教材为主,补充电影报刊及网络资源等多媒体材料,旨在通过阅读英语文字材料和观看英文影像资料,然后讨论并解决问题的方式让学生对美国的社会历史、生活习俗和风土人情有一个直观的印象。使学生在欣赏了解的同时,联系社会历史原因进行分析,培养兴趣,开拓视野,提高英语和跨文化学习水平。 本课程教学任务为:了解美国社会与文化的基本特点;掌握美国概况的基础知识;理解中美文化差异和不同的文化价值观念;掌握相关社会历史背景知识;提高英语语言技能;培养跨文化言语交际和非言语交际意识。 本课程的特色:(1)拓展学生的英语知识。本课程配合全新版大学英语三、四册使用,基于整个大学英语教学大纲和课程要求。学生阅读英语文字书面及网络材料和观看英文影像资料,是一个资源输入的过程,通过讨论来解决问题,和中间及最后的考查和考试就是资源输出的过程。前一个过程重点培养学生的英语阅读能力,而后一过程可帮助学生提高说、听、写和译的能力,这与大学英语整个课程要求不谋而合。(2)拓展学生思维,培养学生跨文化交际意识,帮助学生更好适应全球一体化这一大形势。文化是语言的来源和基础,没有文化背景的语言是没有生命的。美国是全球最有影响力的国家之一,同时也是英语语言的主要载体国家。所以了解一定的美国社会与文化知识,不但可以激发学生学习英语的兴趣,提供更多的英语学习背景资料,更重要的是可以培养学生的跨文化交际能力,帮助学生更好地适应新形势下社会对复合型英语人才的需求。 二、学习本课程学生应掌握的前设课程知识 因为涉及到英文授课及各种课堂讨论,要求学生有一定的英语听说能力;授课过程中会有相关文献阅读,要求学生有一定的英语读写能力。要求学生最低通过英语四级,或具有英语四级相当水平。 三、学时分配

美国社会与文化论文中文

学习了美国社会与文化后,我对美国的传统价值观有了更深更好的理解一般而言,美国的传统价值观共包括六个方面,即:individual freedom, equality of opportunity, material wealth 和self-reliance, competition, hard work. 其中,前三个方面集中代表了世界各地的人们移民到美国的原因,亦即我们通常所讲的“美国之梦”所包含的主要内容;而后三个方面则是为了实现这些梦想所应付出的代价。在美国人看来,individual freedom 和self-reliance, equality of opportunity 和competition, material wealth 和hard work 是一一对应的。你要想实现前一个梦想,就必须付出后边那个代价。 个性自由起源于美国祖先追求宗教信仰自由的传统。包括自主动机,自主抉择,自力更生,尊重他人,个性自由,尊重隐私等层面。美国的自由观"不仅指免除对肉体的约束,而且指个人有权签订契约;有权从事任何一种普通谋生职业;有权获取有用的知识;有权结婚、建立家庭和抚养孩子;受自己良心的支配崇拜上帝,以及普遍地享有历来被认为是自由和平等地追求幸福所必不可少的那些特权 自力更生每一个人生下来就是自由的,但要真正享受自由就必须要靠自己。这种观念体现在语言上就是在与美国人交谈时,他们很少通过炫耀自己的家庭或社会关系来抬高自己;如果你要那么做了只能让别人觉得你是个孩子,一个没有自己生活的人永远只能是个孩子。 机会平等美国人永远愿意倾听别人的意见,给别人机会;一个人在一方面犯了错误,并不剥夺他在其他方面出色的权利。美国人认为在大自然面前,人人有生存权利,只要有力气,有能力,谁都可以获得自然,谁都可以发财当富翁;在政治上,他们主张投票箱面前人人平等,也就是说,人人有选举权;在受教育上,资产阶级进步思想家提倡人人有受教育的机会,公立学校人人均可上学;运动场上,美国人也有他们的标准,只要有体育才能和技术的人,都可以参加竞争;在社交场合,美国人喜欢平等待人,也喜欢被别人平等相待,摆架子、高人一等的表现为人们所不取;在官兵关系方面,美国人认为,官兵之间应该是平等的,指挥官不能向士兵摆资格,不能把权威当宝杖使用;在宗教方面,美国人认为人人有信仰宗教的权利,只要是新教徒,不要经任何神职人员作中介,都可以与上帝相通。 竞争意识竞争是永恒的,也是一个人证明他在社会中地位的手段,但同时他也许要与同事的合作。但请注意,美国人所理解的“竞争”中的胜利并不是“惟我独尊”,而是得到别人的理解和认可;另外,美国人清楚的认识到依次的胜利只能说明过去,明天会有更多的挑战,要乐观的面对挑战,参加竞争。 追求财富美国人的祖先大多来自于贫民,追求财富,改善生活成为绝大多数移民的梦想。时至今日现在的美国人对于财富的理解远远超出了他们的祖先,时间、健康、能力、信息等都超出了纸币本身的价值,金钱成为了一种代表符号。总而言之,在美国人看来,一个人要有追求,这是你个人前进的动力。 敬业进取多数美国人都会把“敬业、进取”当作自己获得财富和保持财富的手段。在美国的各大商场里,有一种“DIY”的商品最为畅销。很多美国人已经把工作,当成一种人生的乐趣。在竞争面前,只有敬业并不断进取,才能保持自己在竞争中不败! 下面有一些列子可以帮组我们了解我在前面提到过的美国的传统价值观。 1、美国商业上强调“自由市场” ,这与美国一直以来的自由价值观有着密切联系。 美国人的价值体系是和经济的改革相联系的。准确地说,是和“自由市场”的产生联系在一起的,自由市场是美国人生活中各种基本矛盾的根源:经济为效率服务、政治为平等服务、文化为自我实现服务的三准则形成了美国社会中的三种最重要的相互制约的价值观。一个半世纪以来,这三种不同的价值定向之间常常会发生紧张和冲突。 2、美国公共教育以实现美国社会机会均等、社会流动和经济公平方面平等主义为目标。 美国教育中,自力更生和责任精神,是对子女教育的出发点。让孩子从小学会独立 历代美国总统认为道德教育在建立民主国家中将会起相当重要的作用。发展教育能够帮助同

当代美国社会与文化

当代美国社会与文化 细读王恩铭老师的《当代美国社会与文化》确实收获很多,惊叹于作者对全书系统有序且相当全面的介绍了美国的民族构成、政治制度、经济发展、教育体系、大众传媒、劳工组织、企业管理、社会保障、电影艺术和体育活动,并对美国的宗教信仰、区域文化、价值观念、家庭婚姻、妇女运动和社会矛盾等问题。 和其他书籍来比,譬如我以前读过的《纽约地标》、《裸视美国》等,该书作者的逻辑更加清晰,篇章安排也比较合理。比如说就整体结构而言,本书分为十九个篇章,分别从美国社会的各个层面出发板块式分别叙述了诸如地理、人口、区域划分,历史,民族构成,政治制度,经济概貌,教育概貌,宗教价值观,大众传播媒介,美国劳工及劳工运动,美国工业组织及企业管理,妇女与妇女运动,家庭与婚姻,美国社会保障制度,美国社会问题,以及美国人的娱乐活动,主要节日等。条理清晰,分类严谨,给人以清新,简单的印象。 而就每一个篇章来说,作者在一开始都会有一个概括性的引言。这样的引言简明扼要,提纲挈领性的告诉我们这一章将要讲的内容,使读者对作者的思路有了一个简明的了解。然后在下文的叙述中,不同于有些书籍的是作者分了好多小标题,又一次简明的作为提示性的关键词放在显著位置,使得读者读起来更加方便,也调动了读者的积极性。其实如此学术性的书籍常常会失于乏味,但是读这本书时,每每看完作者的引言和小标题,我常常会想象作者接下了会怎样写,如

果是我会怎样写,就这一方面我已经了解了哪些问题等等,这样就提高了我阅读的积极性。我想分类明了,思路严谨,行文脉络清晰是本书最大的特征之一。就是利用这种方法,作者很明白的把整个美国社会的组成以文化现象说的很清楚。这种行文方式,也是我们以后写作时应该效仿学习的。 给我印象最深的一节是关于美利坚民族构成的介绍,和以前看过的书相比,作者明了的分类方式,抓住纲领的行文可见一斑。该章开始,作者用简短不足一千字的六小段,简单的介绍了这个多民族的移民国家的形成,组成,文化特征勾勒出了美利坚民族的基本特色。然后作者又利用他的分类特长分别介绍了北美土著居民,来自欧洲的居民,来自亚洲的居民,来自非洲的居民,来自拉丁美洲的美国人,这样的分类系统简单明了,易于接受。然后作者又按同样的结构在每个小节分别叙述了这些居民主要来自这些大洲的哪些国家,这些国家的移民在当今美国所占的比例,以及他们的移民史,他们第一代移民的从事的职业,社会地位以及第二代,第三代……的移民的职业特征,社会地位,和与其他国家移民相比,各个国家的移民的不同点。比起以前所读过的《裸视美国》,这样的叙述更清晰,思路更简单,更易为读者所接受。 通观全书,我对美国社会有了更系统的了解。其实对于书上的有些知识我以前零星点点的略知皮毛,但是在作者引领下我有了更清楚的认识。还有一些知识是以前在别的书上很少读过的,比如说以前我只知道美国白人的奴隶制度和他们对黑人的残酷剥削,但是不明白白

当代美国社会与文化的后现代特征探析

思考与言说作家杂志Writer Magazine2010No.10 一引言 工业革命的成功将西方资本主义社会导入了现代历史阶段。由美国革命和法国大革命所开创的现代社会具有“市民社会”(civil society)的性质,是一种基于个人自由民主和基本人权的法制社会,其基本特征和“现代性”在于:把社会视为由具有自由平等权的个人,依据其个人意愿和基本利益,而按照协商民主方式达到共识的途径所建构起来的。换言之,自然权利论和社会契约论,是现代社会和现代国家的建构基础,其政治意义在于牵制国家权力的膨胀。 20世纪60年代是美国社会转入后现代历史阶段的起点。在经历了两次世界大战的激烈动荡以及20世纪半个多世纪政治、经济和文化的激烈变革之后,在当代科技革命和信息技术的影响和推动下,美国率先步入了“后工业社会”或“信息社会”时代,从经典资本主义过渡到了晚期资本主义。当代美国的“后现代性”充满着矛盾性和吊诡性:一方面,社会政治、经济和文化都实现了高度的理性化、制度化和专业化,先进的知识和技术高速发展,精神财富和物质财富空前繁荣,带来了空前未有的“休闲式”或“消费式”的轻松惬意的日常生活结构;另一方面,社会政治、经济和文化的法制化、专业化和体系化以及科学技术的意识形态化,正在日渐脱离日常生活领域,开始走向与“生活世界”的尖锐对立,并对公民生活进行潜移默化的“殖民化”或“宰制”,这一切不仅直接破坏了美国社会本身现存的和谐关系,而且对美国社会与文化的未来走向产生着间接的负面影响。 二当代美国社会的后现代特征 “理性异化”和“科技专制”(technocracy),使当代美国的社会性质和结构发生了根本性的变化。首先,启蒙理性已经异化为科学理性、工具理性和极权理性,成为凭借权力控制一切、征服一切的基础和工具。理性的异化逐渐消解了人的主体性,并最终导致了人性的扭曲和社会的变异。 其次,技术专家同权力机构相互勾结,赋予当代科学技术和知识一种新的特权地位,形成对当代美国社会的“科技专制”,使效率和技术统治意识取代了自由、平等和社会进步意识,成为衡量一切的最高标准和控制人、奴役人的异己力量。于是,意识形态化了的科学技术作为一种强大的无形力量开始控制公众的思想和精神,从政治、经济、文化等各个方面大规模地侵蚀和占领人们的情感生活,给人类生存带来了与日俱增的惶惑和恐惧。当代美国社会的不确定性和不可预测性特征,正是源于当代科技的这种强大创造力 和控制力。 最后,美国文化的后现代主义的特征与传统美学、解释、文化和艺术背道而驰,它所要摒弃的正是那些在传统文化中被视为崇高特征和精英意识的审美标准,它所要反对的就是那些具有现代主义中心意识的观点,并对那些为少数精英分子所把持的主流文化进行坚决的拒斥。可以说,后现代主义的美国文化已不可能同其传统主义文化同日而语。 综上所述,自20世纪60年代以来,理性和科学的性质与作用在当代美国发生了异变,其工具性功能的日益强化必然弱化了它们对自身和对社会现实的批判性功能。“理性异化”和“科技专制”将美国导入了后现代社会,其基本特征是:信息技术日新月异,当代科技和信息产业膨胀泛滥,整个社会程式化、讯息化、符号化、复制化和商品化,从而导致了人的主体性日益消解,偶然性和机遇性取代了因果性和规律性,生活充满着不确定性和不可预测性,社会风险性不断加大。 三当代美国文化的后现代特征 理性异化和科技专制必然引发伦理结构、审美结构以及心态特征、思考方式和生活方式的连锁性嬗变,这些都使美国后现代社会的文化图式日益呈现出商品化、肤浅化和碎片化的特征。绝非耸人听闻,当代文化的概念已经巨变到了如此地步,生活在这种文化中的人们必然分享了它的变异了的、以物质为中心的生活方式。显然,当代美国社会的后现代文化已经变得过于破碎和无趣,甚至可以说,这种后现代意义上的文化特征无处不在。 首先,高度集约化、程序化和规范化的生产方式消解了人的个性,导致了人性的失落,或者说将人性异化为一种“市场人格”,使人成为受消费欲望驱动的经济动物,在消费、休闲、享乐和感官满足中得到了“延缓的满足”。经济主宰着社会生活,后现代消费主义文化彻底瓦解了资本主义新教伦理。可以说,机械化、标准化、过分专业化以及劳动的集约化等等,它们在过去只是决定实际工业部门中商品生产的领域,而到了如今,它们渗透到社会生活的方方面面。在所谓“后工业化”社会中,“自然”已一去不复返地消失。整个世界已不同以往,“文化”变成了实实在在的“第二自然”。 其次,社会商业化导致了文化商品化,使沦为商业行为的精神创造活动异化成了一种游戏、一种宣泄,最终丧失了传统的精神追求和价值意蕴,丧失了组合生活、排列生活、 摘要自20世纪60年代起,美国社会转入了充满着矛盾性和吊诡性的“后现代”历史阶段。理性异化和科技专制导致了美国社会、文化与人性的深刻异变,当代科技和信息产业的膨胀泛滥型构出一个碎片化的后现代社会结构,后现代信息文化现象的高度不确定性和高度感性化孕育着深刻的人文危机。后现代主义思潮的出现和流行,实质上正是晚期资本主义政治、经济和社会形态在文化上的必然反映,其试图彻底重建一切人类文化的努力使美国社会与文化的未来走向仍然值得世人的关注与期待。 关键词:后现代特征理性异化科技专制信息文化后现代主义 中图分类号:G02文献标识码:A 当代美国社会与文化的后现代特征探析李新博 189
