Abstract

ABSTRACT Margaret Meek Spencer’s writings on literacy evoke reading and storymaking as processes of inquiring; of searching into mystery. This paper considers how Meek’s preoccupations with reading process; genre literacy; and text-image dialogism resonate deeply with the genre of young people’s mystery and detective fiction. Drawing on Meek’s seminal works, Learning to Read (1982); How Texts Teach What Readers Learn (1988), and On Being Literate (1991), the paper applies key concepts from these texts to a group of children’s mystery stories. The paper shows how the genre offers a resonant context in which to “take her work on” and to observe the mirroring of certain of her insights in storied form. Moreover, the aptness and theoretical richness of Meek’s concepts in relation to the genre is illustrated, not least when her ideas are considered alongside the work (suggestively cited briefly by Meek herself) of Bakhtin, Bruner, and Barthes.
“阅读的伟大秘密”:玛格丽特·米克·斯宾塞,阅读过程和儿童推理和侦探小说
玛格丽特·米克·斯宾塞的文学作品将阅读和故事创作视为探究的过程;对神秘的探索。本文探讨了米克对阅读过程的关注;流派素养;文本-图像对话与年轻人的推理和侦探小说类型产生了深刻的共鸣。借鉴米克的开创性作品,《学习阅读》(1982);《文本如何教读者所学》(1988)和《论识字》(1991),本文将这些文本中的关键概念应用于一组儿童神秘故事。本文展示了这种类型如何提供一个共鸣的背景,在这个背景下,“接受她的作品”,并观察到她的某些见解在故事形式中的镜像。此外,本书还阐释了米克与这一流派相关的概念的巧妙性和理论丰富性,尤其是当她的观点与巴赫金、布鲁纳和巴特的作品(米克本人曾简要引证)放在一起考虑时。
