What Is a Social Movements?
• There are many definitions of “social movements”. One professor argues that “a social movement is a type of behavior in which a large number of participants consciously attempt to change existing institutions and establish a new order of life.” In other words, people work together to change government policies and society.
• At the beginning of the movement, the base of their membership was the large number of black students in the South.The quiet sit-in by black students in Greensboro began the civil right movement in the 1960s. The civil rights movement, and the youth antiwar, and the women's liberation movements , had long roots in United States history. • The causes for the movements: • Afro-Americans, young people and women were dissatisfied with their lifves. • Negroes were prevented from working at good jobs and getting a good education, and their life was not the American way of life.

In American literature what is the significance of “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”by MarkTwain?Suggested answers:I. 1.C2.A3.B4.B5.D6.C7.C8.A.BII. A. Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnB. The word “we”refers to Huck and Jim.C. the Mississippi riverIII.1. The three dominant figures of the period were William Dean Howells, Mark Twain, and Henry James. Though the three prominent writers all worked for realism, they had different understanding of the “truth”. While Mark Twain and Howells seem to have paid more attention to the “life”of the Americans, Henry Jameshas apparently laid a greater emphasis on the “inner world”of man. He is a realist of the inner life. Though Twain and Howells both share the same concern in presenting the truth of the American society, they have each of them different emphasis. Howells focuses his discussion on the rising middle class and the way they live, while Twain deals with his own region and people of the lower class of society at the forefront of his stories. James writes mostly of the upper reaches of American society.2. First of all, the novel is written in a language that is simple, direct and lucid and faithful to the colloquial speech. This unpretentious style of colloquialism is best described as “vernacular”. Speaking in vernacular,wild and uneducated Huck, running away from civilization for his freedom, is vividly brought to life.The book is also significant for the shape given to it by the course of the raft’s journey down the Mississippi as Huck and Jim seek their different kinds of freedom. Twain, who knew the river intimately, uses it her both realistically and symbolically.Another great contribution of the book is the profound portrait of Huckleberry Finn. The novel begins with adescription of how Widow Douglas attempts to civilize Huck and ends with him deciding not to let it happen again at the hands of Aunt Sally. The climax arises with Huck’s inner struggle on the Mississippi, when Huck is polarized by two opposing forces between his heart and his head, between his affection for Jim and the laws of the society against those who help slaves escape. Huck’s final decision –to follow his own good-hearted moral impulse rather than conventional village morality –amounts to a vindication of what Twain called “the damned human race,”damned for its comfortable hypocrisies, its thoroughgoing dishonesties, and its pervasive crulties. With the eventual victory of his moral conscience over his social awareness, Huck grows.Huckleberry Finn marks the climax of Twain’s literary creativity. It is what Hemingway once describes asthe one book from which “all modern American literature comes.”第二篇:American Realism总结American RealismAmerican realism was an early 20th century idea in art, music and literature that showed through these different types of work, reflections of the time period. Also, American Realism age is the Gilded Age, an age of excess and extremes, of decline and progress, of poverty and dazzling wealth, of gloom and buoyant hope. Although Americans continued to read the works of Irving, Cooper, Hawthorne, and Poe, the great age of American romanticism had ended. By the 1870s the New England Renaissance had waned. Realism appeared in the United States in the literature of local color, an amalgam of romantic plots and realistic descriptions of things was immediately observable. Naturalism is a new and harsher realism, appearing at the end of the 19 century. Because of perception of society’s disorders, writers try to present characters of low social and economic classes who were dominated by their environment and heredity. The naturalists emphasized that the world was amoral, that men and women had no free will, that their lives were controlled by heredity and the environment; the religious “truths”were illusory, that the destiny of humanity was misery in life and oblivion in death.William Dean Howells, the arbiter of 19th century literary realism in America, defines realism: nothing more and nothing less than the truthful treatment of material with an objective point of view. Howells` emphasis hasalways been on ethics. He stresses the need for sympathy and moral integrity, and the need for different social classes to harmoniously adapt to their environment and to another.Henry James is the founder of psychological realism. The literary career of him is generally divided into three periods, in the first periods, James took great interest in international theme; exemplify the mature and formidable style of a third literary period, which critics have come to praise as “The Major Phase”. In his critical commentaries, he made major contributions to the art of fiction itself, helping to transform the novel from its alliance with journalism and romantic story-telling into an art from of penetrating analysis of individuals confronting society, chronicles of the psychological perceptions that James himself defined as the highest from of experience.Mark Twain is essentially an affirmative writer though his first novel, The Gilded Age, is considered as a failure, but his masterwork Adventures of Huckleberry Finn turns out to be a huge success. His works are characterized by the local colorist——the detailed presentation in prose fiction of the setting, dialect, customs, dress and ways of thinking and feeling which are distinctive of a particular region. Without Mark Twain, American literature would be less delightful. After him, the American literature is no longer as the same before.Theodore Dreiser, his first novel “Sister Carrie”, which traces the material rise of Carrie Meeber and the tragic decline of G. W. Hurst wood is successful work. And his “An American Tragedy”,the identification of potency with money is at the heart of Dreiser’s greatest and most successful novel.第三篇:Unit 6 American RealismUnit 6 American Realism: William Dean Howells, Henry James and Mark TwainAmerican Realism: 1865-1914Historical BackgroundTwo phases: the phase of an expanding continental nation from 1865 till 1890s; and the so-called “progressive period”from 1890s till 1914.The Civil War: destroyed the innocence prevalent earlier in the 19th century;(Chang, 158: led many to question the assumptions shared by the Transcendentalists --- natural goodness, the optimistic view of nature and man, benevolent God.)The US changed from a nation of distinct regions into a nation dominated byNorthern industrialization, business and finance.Industrialism, mechanization, movement away from farm, metropolitan, lust forwealth and power“The Gilded Age”the age of wealth and poverty, of progress and decline, and theage of gaudy excesses.The closing frontierThe closing frontier: the development of railroads: mobile, Western settlement,settlement in the Great Plains and mountainous regions, awareness of regional characteristics; disillusionment and frustration, suffering and unhappinessThe Progressive EraFrom the 1890s on, there was a great deal of enthusiasm for various social andeconomic reforms, hence the term “the progressive era.”Most of the writers who wrote with seriousness and conviction were social critics.By the 1870s New England Renaissance had waned. (Hawthorne and Thoreau dead;Emerson, Longfellow and other New England celebrities old and feeble; Melville ceased to publish. Dickinson not brought to light yet. Only Whitman remained active.)The Age of Romanticism and Transcendentalism was by and large over.Parameters of Realism童明,143:Parameters of Realism: “American realism may be measured by the followingparameters”:1. Realism reacts against Romanticism’s emphasis on intuition, imagination, adreamy (or innocent) sense of wonder, idealism, faith in nature, and general optimistic belief in the goodness of things.2. Realists claim that they seek truth that is verifiable by experience and havepractical consequences; they do not seek abstract truth.3. Realism is embedded in a mimetic theory of art. “Mimesis”means “imitation.”Realists believe that literature imitates reality. …realists are attentive to such details as dialect, customs, and experiences that are commonplace and “real.”4. Realists try to describe a small portion of the knowable world in order to maintain“objectivity.”5. Local color and regional writings constituted the early phase of realism.Naturalism is another variation of realism in that it emphasizes a biological orsocioeconomic determinism.William Dean Howells (1837-1920)for several decades, the “dean”of his country’s literature.In a way the father of American Realism; born in a small town in Ohio; mostlyschooled himself from his father’s book-shelves; the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic Monthly , used the journal to spread realism;The writer should reveal the good in life as more real than the evil (emphasizesmorality; “this smiling continent,”“smiling aspects); realism is a form of democracy and is peculiarly suitable as an American method.A Modern Instance (1882)The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885)William Dean Howells: An American realist author and literary critic. "The Dean of American Letters"Henry James (1843-1916)Born into a wealthy cultured family of New York City;great influence from his father and brotherFather, Henry James, Sr.: an unorthodox theologian, one of the best-knownintellectuals in mid-nineteenth-century America;brother, William James, philosopher and psychologistPsychological realismLiterary criticism: “The Art of Fiction”Novels:His writing career can be divided into three distinctive periods:A. 1865-1882: The American (1877), Daisy Miller (1879), The Portrait of a Lady (1881);the “international theme”: American innocence in face of European sophistication B. 1882-1895: tales of subtle studies of inter-personal relationships; plays: TheBostonians (1886)C. 1895-1915:1895-1900: novellas and tales dealing with childhood and adolescence, a revival of his earlier theme of innocence in a corrupted world; The Turn of the Screw (1898); What Maisie Knew (1897);1900-1904: trilogy, three great novels, The Wings of the Dove (1902), The Ambassadors (1903), his most "perfect" work of art, The Golden Bowl (1904);1904-1915: some American impressions and some autobiographical matter.The International ThemeThe first and the third stages write about the “international theme”: innocentAmerican confronting the sophisticated European culture; the meeting of America and Europe, American innocence in contact and contrast with European decadence and the moral and psychological complications arising therefrom. For the American it was a process of progression from inexperience to experience, from innocence to knowledge and maturity.Local ColorismRealism and local colorism developed almost at the same time and were intertwined.Realism is at the heart of local colorism.Theoretical orientation:realism tries to capture the truth of life and portray life and people as they see it, esp.ordinary people;local colorism emphasizes the characteristics of their own region, deeply rooted inAmerica, in local soil and culture. For the first time, the rich variety of American life and American people are fully presented in literary works.Local colorism is mostly concerned with the characteristics of people and life of theirown regions. As a result, local colorists in different regions together presented a most colorful and comprehensive picture of America and American life, best presented not only the history of the country but the development of the nation and its culture.Hamlin Garland defined local colorism as “having such quality of texture andbackground that it could not have been written in any other place or by anyone else than a native”;“texture”refers to the elements which characterize a local culture, elements such asspeech, customs and mores peculiar to one particular place;“background”covers physical setting and those distinctive qualities of landscapewhich condition human thought and behavior.The ultimate aim of the local colorists is to create the illusion of an indigenous littleworld with qualities that tell it apart from the world outside.More than any type of literary works, local colorist literature is typically Americanand has the least influence from the European tradition. Rooted in legends, folk tales and dialect of that particular region.Local colorism as a trend first made its presence felt in the late 1860s and earlyseventies. Bret Harte, “The Luck of Roaring Camp”(1868): a significant development in the brief history of local color fiction.Almost every part of America has its regional writers. C.f. 常耀信,181-182.Harriet Beecher Stowe, Sarah Orne Jewett, New England; Bret Harte, (considered by many the founder of the local color school), the far West mining camps; George Washington Cable, Kate Chopin, the deep South (the Creole culture)Last decade of the 19th century, three major groups:1, Western (meaning mid-West: Indiana, Illinois, Ohio) writers;2, New Englanders;3, the Southern writers.童明,145:Regional and local color writings may be considered the early stage ofliterary realism. They were instances of realism insofar as they depicted contemporary life, used the speech of the common people and avoided, in general, fantastic plotlines.Mark Twain (1835-1910)Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name of Mark Twain, grew upin the small town of Hannibal, Missouri, on the Mississippi River.Mark Twain’s contribution to the development of realism and to American literatureas a whole was partly through his theories of localism in American fiction, and partly through his colloquial style.One of the pioneers in stories that captured the “local color”of the West;Twain’s style, based on vigorous, realistic, colloquial American speech, gaveAmerican writers a new appreciation of their national voice. Twain was the first major author to come from the interior of the country, and he captured its distinctive, humorous slang and iconoclasm.1865, “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”1873, The Gilded Age, gave its name to the America of the post-bellum period whichit attempts to satirize.1876, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer: innocence1883, Life on the Mississippi1884, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , a sequel to Tom Sawyer, a finer book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884)a success from its first publication and has always been regarded as one of thegreatest books of Western literature and Western civilization.Ernest Hemingway: “All modern literature comes from one book by Mark Twaincalled Huckleberry Finn.”Episodic structure; two runaways; escape, quest for freedom; racism; feud;swindlers; inner struggle; wilderness and civilizationMark Twain in his lecture notes proposes that "a sound heart is a surer guide thanan ill-trained conscience", and goes on to describe the novel as "...a book of mine where a sound heart and a deformed conscience come into collision and conscience suffers defeat".Essentially an affirmative writer, humanistic; but toward the latter part of his life,increasingly violent in his censure of man and his society; in his later works, change from an optimist and humorist to an almost despairing determinist; A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1889), The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg (1924), The Mysterious Stranger (1916): bitter attacks on the human race.American realism: Local colorism and Mark twainMark Twain made colloquial speech an accepted, respectable literary medium in theliterary history of the country: a significant contributionSherwood Anderson: the first writer after Twain to take the vernacular as a seriousway of presenting reality; Hemingway’s mentor in the colloquial styleErnest Hemingway: the direct descendant of Mark Twain; his masculine prose, withits infinite power of suggestion and connotation, is the continuation of and improvement upon Twain’s style.In writers such as Stephen Crane, Sherwood Anderson, Sinclair Lewis, Faulkner, orHemingway, a style that flows with the easy grace of colloquial speech and gets its directness and simplicity by leaving out subordinate words and clauses, the language of Mark TwainT.

The Impact of Social Movements on Society
The Impact of Social Movements on Society Social movements have been a significant part of human history, and their impact on society has been immense. Social movements are collective efforts by people to bring about change in society and address social, economic, or political issues. These movements have been instrumental in bringing about social change, challenging societal norms, and advocating for social justice. This essay aims to explore the impact of social movements on society from multiple perspectives.From a historical perspective, social movements have played a crucial role in shaping the world we live in today. The civil rights movement in the United States, for instance, led to the end of segregation and discrimination against African Americans. Similarly, the feminist movement fought for women's rights, resulting in significant changes in laws and policies that promote gender equality. Social movements have also been instrumental in bringing about political change, such as the Arab Spring, which led to the overthrow of authoritarian regimes in the Middle East.Social movements have also had a significant impact on culture and societal norms. For instance, the LGBTQ movement has challenged traditional gender roles and norms, leading to increased acceptance and visibility of non-heteronormative identities. The #MeToo movement has also brought to light the prevalence of sexual harassment and assault, leading to increased awareness and changes in workplace policies and social attitudes towards sexual violence.From an economic perspective, social movements have influenced the distribution of wealth and power in society. Labor movements, for instance, have fought for workers' rights and fair wages, leading to the establishment of labor laws and regulations that protect workers' rights. Environmental movements have also brought attention to the negative impact of industrialization and capitalism on the environment, leading to increased regulations and policies to protect the environment.However, social movements have also faced criticism and resistance from those who oppose their agenda. Some argue that social movements can be divisive and polarizing,leading to increased social tensions and conflict. Others argue that social movements can be co-opted by political elites and used to maintain the status quo rather than bring about meaningful change.Despite these criticisms, social movements have been an essential tool for people to express their grievances and demand change. They have been instrumental in bringing about significant social, political, and economic changes, challenging societal norms, and advocating for social justice. Social movements have given voice to marginalized groups and empowered them to demand their rights and dignity.In conclusion, the impact of social movements on society has been immense, and their legacy continues to shape the world we live in today. Social movements have been instrumental in bringing about significant social, political, and economic changes, challenging societal norms, and advocating for social justice. While social movements have faced criticism and resistance, their importance in bringing about change cannot be overstated. Social movements have given voice to marginalized groups and empowered them to demand their rights and dignity, making society more equitable and just.。

3、新社会运动理论
人类社会由工业社会转型向“后工业社会”, 这一巨变让社会运动的性质发生了变化。在工 业社会,最大的社会冲突源自阶级利益矛盾, 社会运动由阶级主导,其目标是向既得利益阶 层争取物质利益。但“后工业社会”之后,人 们不能再容忍“生活世界殖民化”的桎梏,开 始反对国家政权及商业集团对个人生活的约束 及操控。新的社会冲突产生新的社会运动形态。

其中的态势和运动,有的是自己能觉察到,有意识有目的做出的;有的是自己没能觉察到,无意识进行的(即某种态势或运动发生前,主体没想到自身要做这样的行为,或者不知道自体的行为是何时开始的。
有的甚至在行为运作过程中或过程后,主体也未觉察出来。
如睡眠中打呼噜)。
这里假定了所有的行为都有向其他个体传达某种信息或意义的可能;生物个体的所有行为都有向其他个体传达某种信息或意义的可能。
同理,人类社会也是如此,个体或若干个体的所有行为都有向他者(单数的或复数的)提供表征、传达某种信息或意义的可能。
2)行动(action) 行动是行为的情况之一。
人类行动可定义为:人类个体或若干个体在一定条件下,有目的、有意识地努力去达成目标所进行着的行为。
一般由一组行为或若干组行为构成。
有时也仅仅由一个行为单位构成。
行动与行为的区别是,行为可以无意识发生,反射性发生,不自觉发生,可以没有目标取向;而行动都是有意识地、自觉地进行的,有明确的目标指向。
换句话说,行动可直接表述为是有意识、有目的的行为。
如一个人上山砍柴是行动;而在山中行走时跌倒或不留神被什么东西绊倒,此时的跌倒或绊倒的态势就不是行动而只是行为。
3)社会行为(social behavior)人类个体或若干个体有意识或无意识地影响到他人(单数或复数)的行为称作社会行为。

1.根据形成过程分类
自发机制:依据一定的规律自然地、历史地形成的社会运行机制; 自为机制:人类根据一定的社会目标,通过人们的主观努力而有意识地 建立起来的社会运行机制。
2.根据作用领域分类
经济机制、政治机制、文化机制和心理机制。
3.根据表现形态分类
显性机制:人类可以完全预见运行后果的机制就是显性机制。 隐性机制:不能预见或没有发现的运行机制就是隐性机制。
4.根据层次分类
动力机制 整合机制 激励机制 控制机制 保障机制

动力机制包括动力结构、运作过程和运作方式与手段三部分:
(一)动力结构
1.外围结构 ①动力主体;②动力传导媒介:包括利益、文化和信息三种媒介。③ 动力受体。 2.内核结构 ①动力源;②动力方向;③动力储存体;④社会行动。
