CULTURAL STUDIES IN THE CORPORATE UNIVERSITY

This essay is about the fate of Cultural Studies in the new context of the market-based reform of Higher Education and the resurgence of liberal capitalism. As the global corporate demand for educational services increases, universities are becoming more like businesses. The trend toward a corporate style university can be seen in the way that its educational mission is being subordinated to the criteria of the flexible labour market. Neo-Liberal forms of governance introduce economic calculation into what were previously social and bureaucratic domains. The emergence of Cultural Studies in the 1960s was a challenge from the New Left to both the humanities and to the historic national mission of the university. The rise of the corporate university and its Benthamite utilitarianism in the 1980s confronted Cultural Studies with its own hiatus. The essay argues that we need to revisit Cultural Studies’ early rejection of humanism and work out a new kind of'humanism without guarantees, if we are to adequately confront this conjuncture and find the moral and intellectual resources to restore Cultural Studies as a critical and engaged practice.     

Between Neo-liberalism and Neo-indigenismo: Reconstructing National Identity in Mexico

Heightened integration with the US coupled with the rise of an indigenous movement have challenged and strained long-held images regarding the US and the indigenous within Mexico. As a result, Mexico finds itself facing the difficult task of re-evaluating and reconstructing its national identity. This paper explores the traditional images of the US and the Indian shaping national identity in Mexico and the challenges posed today by neo-liberalism and neo-indigenismo. It sets out a range of current issues, explores the linkages and contradictions, and examines the state of national reform. Fundamentally, the paper strives to raise important theoretical questions and hence set the stage for further research into these issues.     

论宗教改革时期的德意志史学研究

1517年,马丁.路德（Martin Luther,1483-1546）首先在德意志发动了宗教改革运动,这场改革运动对德意志有全方位的影响。在宗教改革时期,德意志的史学研究取得了一定的成就,具有鲜明的特色,诸如注重对中世纪传统的继承、具有强烈的民族主义色彩和宗教实用主义色彩等。在此期间,一些伟大的历史学家也应运而生,诸如弗拉齐乌斯.马蒂亚斯、约翰.斯来丹等,这些历史学家的著作和思想对于近代史学的发展,有其独特的历史贡献。     

简论梵学研究与西藏的梵文文献

梵学起源于古印度，流行于南亚及世界各地。梵藏翻译已有1400多年的历史。作为民族文化交流史上规模最大、持续时间最长的梵藏翻译活动，对藏族文学艺术、语言文字、哲学思想及社会文化各个层面都产生过深远的影响。西藏种类繁多的梵文文献是藏族传统文化的一个重要组成部分。文章通过梵藏文献史料探讨海内外梵学研究史迹，简要分析、论述拉丁转写梵文与藏文撰写梵文之间的特点和异同，说明梵文文献研究最早起始于我国内地和西藏，文化交流是促进人类共同进步的一种力量。

试论文本与图像之间的徽学研究走向

在重文本、轻图像和重道轻器的双重挤压之下,徽州图像在徽学研究版图中长期处于边缘位置。徽州图像的民间艺术色彩将徽学研究的重心下移至庶民百姓的寻常生活,这恰与来自徽州民间的文本形成照应,以形成文本与图像之间的徽学研究新走向。这种走向意在发现古徽州先民所栖居的图像空间中,儒学礼教观念和宗法意识如何为制像所编码,进而影响徽州社会群体的精神世界和行为结构。     

Assessing Social Work's Contribution to Controlled Outcome Studies in the Alcohol Dependence Treatment Literature

ABSTRACT

Alcohol use disorders are among the most prevalent and disabling conditions encountered by social work practitioners. Although a substantial body of research findings has accrued evaluating the effectiveness of available alcohol dependence treatments, few efforts have been made to assess the contribution that social work has made to this database. Thus, this study examined the contribution of social work to the alcohol dependence treatment outcome research literature over the past half-century. Controlled investigations of alcohol dependence treatments published between 1950 and 2000 were analyzed by publication outlet type and primary author's professional affiliation. Computerized bibliographic searches of medical and social science databases were conducted and a manual search of 13 core social work journals to identify controlled studies of alcohol dependence interventions. Results indicate that researchers affiliated with schools or departments of social work as well as studies contained within core social work journals have contributed little to knowledge development, with respect to controlled studies, in the alcohol dependence treatment literature. Greater social work involvement in chemical dependency research would contribute much to current efforts to promote evidence-based practice and clinical guideline development in this important practice area.
