Ideological criticism in literature refers to the analysis and study of literary works from specific class or party perspectives, aiming to illustrate the ideological nature inherent in all literary creations. Ideological criticism in literature has existed since ancient Greek times and evolved into a systematic critical theory and doctrine in the nineteenth century. By the twentieth century, with the rise of Marxist literary criticism in the Western world, ideological criticism entered a new phase, giving rise to numerous critics and theorists, becoming a significant phenomenon in twentieth-century literary and cultural criticism. Since adopting Western models and concepts of literary criticism in the twentieth century, ideological criticism has been one of the most influential critical schools in domestic literary criticism practices in China. The extensive novel by the author Mo Yan, "Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out," can be thoroughly analyzed through the ideological criticism method, focusing on its content from the perspectives of characters, language, and plot.

Jacques Rancière's philosophy is rooted in the concept of "equality," crucially interpreting his educational viewpoints within his theoretical framework. Rancière places "equality" as the cornerstone of educational discourse, aiming to subvert the traditional educational heritage centered on "explanation" since ancient Greece and the presumed social construction of hierarchical order. In Rancière's educational theory, the teacher is an equalizer, advocating a curriculum centered on "thing in common" and endorsing a learning model guided by "translation" instead of the traditional "explanation"-dominated pedagogy. His goal is to foster intellectual equality and recognition while creating sustainable spaces for debate. This educational discourse offers a new theoretical foundation for critical pedagogy and multicultural education.

This study utilizes ArcGIS to investigate the spatial distribution of mutual property right housing and the spatial accessibility of supporting public service facilities in Shanghai. Through kernel density analysis and standard deviation ellipses, the study examines the spatial characteristics of mutual property right housing from 2017 to 2022. It further elucidates the spatial distribution differences between affordable housing and public service facilities, revealing an overall outer-ring, multi-centered, and ring-shaped distribution pattern. The areas with higher suitability for spatial layout are Qingpu District, Minhang District, Baoshan District, and Pudong New Area. Suggestions for optimizing spatial layout are proposed to provide reasonable site planning recommendations for mutual property right housing in Shanghai and other cities, promoting the healthy and sustainable development of affordable housing construction in China.
