Abstract

Recent political excursions into classroom text selections by local and national politicians and pundits have made teaching canonical texts more appealing to many school districts and teachers. In this study, we used conceptions of Derridean hospitality alongside monster theory to examine what common canonical texts teach students about who is welcome and worthy of hospitality in American society and who is viewed as wholly monstrous and outside the bounds of hospitality. The results of our critical content analysis revealed that in commonly taught canonical novels, identity categories like race and gender shape determinations of who is welcome and who is othered. The findings suggest that critical readings of canonical texts cannot offer a hospitable welcome to marginalized and othered youth in ELA classrooms. Instead we offer a hospitable literacy approach to text selection in ELA classrooms.
经典文本选择的畸形好客:需要一个好客的识字框架
近来,地方和国家政客及学者对课堂课文选择的政治干预,使得经典文本教学对许多学区和教师更有吸引力。在本研究中,我们运用德里达的好客观念和怪物理论来研究常见的经典文本教给学生什么,让他们知道在美国社会中谁是受欢迎的、值得好客的,谁是被视为完全畸形的、超出好客范围的。我们的批判性内容分析结果表明,在常见的经典小说中,种族和性别等身份类别决定了谁是受欢迎的,谁是被排斥的。这些研究结果表明,对经典文本的批判性阅读无法在英语语言教学法课堂上为边缘化和他者青年提供热情好客的欢迎。相反,我们为英语语言学课堂上的文本选择提供了一种好客的识字方法。
