我們的時代——2012狄更斯創(chuàng)意寫作和紀實攝影大賽
2012年是狄更斯誕辰200周年,為了紀念這位19世紀英國現(xiàn)實主義文學(xué)巨匠的200周年誕辰,英國使館文化教育處將從2011年9月起在中國主辦系列文化教育活動,發(fā)掘狄更斯對當代生活的深遠影響和作用。
大賽時間:
2011年9月2日-2011年12月7日20:00
競賽主題:我們的時代
“這是美好的時代,這是糟糕的時代;這是智慧的年頭,這是愚昧的年頭;這是信仰的時期,這是懷疑的時期……”-- 狄更斯
英國文學(xué)巨匠狄更斯典型的藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作特點就是用白描的手法去記錄他所生活的時代的獨特性,他的文學(xué)創(chuàng)作觀念和我國的文以載道有著異曲同工之妙,都是用創(chuàng)作人的觀察去觸摸社會的動態(tài),經(jīng)過藝術(shù)加工后呈現(xiàn)整體的時代風貌。
我們希望廣大文學(xué)和攝影愛好者用文字和圖片去記錄當代中國城市在向前發(fā)展中的獨特風貌,用心靈的眼睛去描繪出今日城市的鏡像,用思想的光芒去聚焦我們對城市的感觸。光影交錯中,我們期待您能展示出您心目中獨特的時代印象。

Celebrating the 200th Birthday of Charles Dickens ---
Cultural Activities of Dickens 2012 in China
2012 is the 200 anniversary of Charles Dickens. Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy / British Consulate-General will host a series of cultural activities in China in September 2011 to commemorate this great realistic writer, and to honour his great impact on our contemporary life.
Dickens is the first writer who wrote about the urban industrialization. The then young writer detected the influence of expansion of city on human beings in a sensitive and realistic way. He has been widely recognized. His works have been influencing people for generations with realism. The characteristic of Dickens’s works is that he sensed the uniqueness of his time with plain words. His conception parallels that of Chinese literature which strives to carry morality and philosophy in literary works. They try to present the spirit of the time through careful observers, and express it in literary works.
David Copperfield, Great Expectations, The Adventures of Oliver Twist, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby and A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being A Ghost Story of Christmas are considered to be his best works, and they are also widely read by Chinese readers.
This series of activities are for both professionals and the public. We will host a contest named “Our Times----the Creative Writing and Documentary Photography Competition” from Sep. 2 to Dec. 7. Dickens said in the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities that “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity…” We hope that fans to literature and photography can record the uniqueness of Chinese cities in development, describe the images of the cities in their minds’ eyes, and tell the brightness and sadness with your thoughts, hence to display the true image of the city. The activity is divided into two groups, that is, the adult group above 18 years old and the teenagers group under 18 years. The top 4 awards such as literature creation award, photography award and young talent award as well as memorial award and award of excellence will be elected by the votes online and votes by the expert judgers including the Lu Jiande, director of the Institute of Literature Research of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Cai Zhimin, Chief-Editor of Yuwen Bao, Wang Wenlan, the vice president of China Photographers Association and the assistant to editor-in-chief of China’s Global Newspaper, and Na Risong, the art director of the 798 art centre. On Feb. 7 in 2012, that is the 200th anniversary of Dickens, there will be an activity held in the house of British ambassador, and the winners will also be invited to claim their awards. The winners will also be invited to the book exhibition in London in April in 2012. The works of the winners and the finalists will be edited as a part of the commemoration activity.
From October to December, we will also initiate literature salons for the 200th anniversary of Dickens in six cities, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Chengdu and Changsha. We will invite thirteen renowned authors in China to communicate with literature fans on different aspects of literature, and discuss the realistic meaning of great literature works. The writers include Mo Yan, Liu Zhenyun, Murong Xuecun, Ye Xin and Alai.
In addition, we will put on 3-4 movies which are based on the works of Dickens (such as Oliver Twist) and other videos about Dickens during the British Film Week held in December in Beijing, Xi’an and Dalian.
When commemorating Dickens, the great writer, we also hope that the observation for the society and the critical thinking as well as the innovation spirit could be carried forward. Economic globalization requires that the young generation should have an international view, understand the cultures of other countries, be able to think in an international way and be versatile. Our school programme ‘Connecting Classrooms’ will develop a series of curriculum project named ‘Our Times’, with a focus on literature and writing. The project will provide some public lectures on literature writing techniques as well as education resources with a teaching plan competition. In doing this, we hope to enlighten teachers and students to foster the ability of observation, critical thinking and innovation within themselves, and bring the concept of educating the global citizens to the classroom.
From September to November, 2011, we will host two lectures on literature techniques in each of the following cities: Chengdu, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Jiaxing. Those lectures aim to inform people how to view ‘Contemporary China in Literature’, and enlighten the audience to discover and understand in depth the description of social changes and the different perspectives and communication skills embodied in them. The ‘objective description in writing’, the comparison of the application of the objective description for writers from both China and the UK, enlightening teachers to transit it into the capability in writing teaching plans, and enlightening students to foster critical thinking and creation in writing will also be promoted in our project.
’Our Times-----the Teaching Plan Competition’ will begin from Sep. 2 to Dec. 7, 2011, which parallels the ‘the Creation of Dickens and Photography Competition’. An activity plan should include teaching, extra curricular activities and interdisciplinary cooperation, and such subjects as Chinese, English, art, drama, design, computer, history, geography, political science and citizen education. Both British and Chinese teachers will take part in the activities at the same time. The Chinese champion will win the opportunity to attend the book exhibition in London in April, 2012, free of charge, and to be awarded on Feb. 7, 2012 (the 200th anniversary of Dickens) in the house of the ambassador. Five winners of the award of excellence will get the souvenir of seed rods from the seed hall of the UK pavilion.
