《你当像鸟飞往你的山》:教育场域中塔拉的主体性构建与权力博弈
|
Abstract:
美国作家塔拉·韦斯特弗(Tara Westover)的自传体小说《你当像鸟飞往你的山》(Educated, A Memoir),讲述了塔拉从十七岁前从未踏入教室的山区女孩,成长为剑桥大学博士的历程。米歇尔·福柯的话语、权力与主体性理论,为剖析塔拉从无知到求知、有知的成长过程,以及深入探究教育、权力与主体性建构之间错综复杂的关联和互动逻辑,提供了理论支撑。教育并非单纯的知识传输,它能够重塑个体的认知、价值观与身份认同,助力个体从被支配走向自主,从社会边缘迈向中心,实现社会权力格局中的地位转变与提升。
The autobiographical novel Educated, A Memoir by American author Tara Westover tells the story of Tara’s journey from a mountain girl who had never stepped into a classroom before the age of 17 to a doctor at the University of Cambridge. Michel Foucault’s theories of discourse, power, and subjectivity provide theoretical foundation for analyzing Tara’s growth from ignorance to seeking knowledge and attaining knowledge, as well as for deeply exploring the intricate relationships and interactive logic among education, power, and the construction of subjectivity. Education is not merely the transmission of knowledge. It can reshape an individual’s cognition, values, and identity, helping the individual move from being dominated to being autonomous, from the social margins to the center, and achieve a transformation and elevation in status within the social power structure.
