2006年Mini-lecture(8/8)-英语听力

[00:00.00]OK, you may see that this idea that meaning requires competency in reading, [00:06.65]in fact, brings us back to the historically situated understandings of an author and his works, [00:13.60]as we mentioned earlier in this lecture: [00:17.09]to different conventions and ways of reading and writing [00:21.38]and to the point that meaning requires a negotiation between cultural meanings across time, culture, class etc. [00:32.34]As readers you have in fact acquired a good deal of competency already, [00:38.49]but you should acquire more. [00:41.27]The essential point of this lecture is that meaning in literature is a phenomenon that is not easily located, [00:50.35]that meaning is historical, social and derived from the traditions of reading and thinking and understanding of the world that you are educated about. [01:03.03]Thank you for your attention.
