John Fowles Literary Forum: Maxine Hong Kingston
No full textMaxine Hong Kingston is a Chinese American author and Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley, where she graduated with a BA in English in 1962. Kingston has written three novels and several works of non-fiction about the experiences of Chinese immigrants living in the United States. Kingston’s writing is often cited for its melodiousness and poetry – its exploration of myth, legend, history and autobiography that combines to create a genre all to its own. She caught the world’s attention with her 1976 book “The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among the Ghosts,” an artful blend of memoir and myth about growing up in two worlds as a first-generation Chinese-American in Stockton, Calif. In this lecture, Kingston reads excerpts from her book and discusses her famous creative non-fiction, about Hua Mulan, the woman warrior. Kingston has received several awards for her contributions to Chinese American Literature including the National Book Award in 1981

[[alternative]]The exploration of Maxine Greene's philosophy of freedom and its implications for education
No full text[[abstract]] The primary purpose of this study is to explore Maxine Greene’s philosophy of freedom. Maxine Greene, the past president of the American Educational Research Association, is an educational philosopher in modern America. By using theoretical methodology, the first chapter gives an introduction of motivations and objectives in this study. The second chapter examines the theoretical background of Maxine Greene, including thoughts of John Dewey, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Hannah Arendt on freedom.
The third chapter draws upon the fundamental notions of Maxine Greene’s philosophy, including self-consciousness, lived world, and “doing” philosophy. The fourth chapter focuses particularly on describing Maxine Greene’s thinking of freedom, in which we see how freedom plays a decisive role throughout her life. For Greene, freedom is an ideal, a hope, and an actual challenge. In addition, Greene criticizes the view that regards freedom as an endowment and, on the contrary, claiming that freedom is the capacity to surpass the given and look at things as if they could be otherwise. That is, freedom is to achieve, not to receive. After all, Greene wants to create a space for freedom. The chapter fifth, then, synthesizes the implications of Maxine Greene’s philosophy of freedom in education.
In the ultimate, the last chapter of this dissertation concludes at least three directions for an adequate education for freedom. First, with attempt to improve the education in Taiwan, the government must create dialogical public spaces for educational institutions to make adequate educational policy into practice. Second, Maxine Greene’s thoughts can help educators pay attention to students’ lived world, help them wide-awake their learning obstacles, and motivate them to care for themselves and communities. Third, in order to improve students’ imagination, Greene’s thoughts can help educators create public spaces for art education.
