李商隐的诗境界——第9世纪巴洛克式[1]的中国诗人

刘若愚(James L.Y. Liu,1926-1986)教授是美国著名华裔中英比较诗学研究家。他的《李商隐的诗》是美国汉学界研究李商隐最重要的成果,于1969年由美国芝加哥大学出版社出版。本文探讨李商隐的诗在具体表达不同的境界上有多么成功,并且揭示这些是什么样的境界。译者由原版译出,原载该书第207-219页。为了中国读者阅读方便,译者加上了各节标题。该书在中国翻译出版,得到刘若愚教授遗著托付人林理彰(Richard John Lynn)教授的支持,谨致谢忱!     

Understanding the etiology of child abuse: A preliminary typology of cases

This paper examines various conceptual approaches to the etiology of child abuse and reports the results of an original study. Data on 99 families with children who were court adjudicated as having suffered non-accidental trauma were analyzed by means of a cluster analysis (hierarchical nearest-neighbor clustering). Four empirically-derived clusters of family/case attributes are described and then discussed as representing separate etiologies of child abuse. The implications of this typology are also discussed as they relate to clinical practice and social policy.     

亨利·詹姆斯《德莫福夫人》中的全景敞视与医学凝视

亨利·詹姆斯早期短篇小说《德莫福夫人》反映了作者对女性的关注,表现了对意识中心叙事手法的实验性运用,该作品中女主人公的故事是在他人的“凝视”下展开的。运用米歇尔·福柯的凝视理论,从空间结构、全景敞视和医学凝视等角度解读《德莫福夫人》中女性作为附属品被父权社会物化的地位。詹姆斯在该小说中描写了不甘于被男性操控、争取将命运掌握在自己手中的德莫福夫人的女性形象,体现了詹姆斯对女性地位的人文关怀以及对父权社会的批判。     

《中庸》的多译本解读与译者文化身份认同研究

汉学家的《中庸》译本或享有以经解经的美名,或因用中国哲学话语翻译而著称,都获得了尊重儒学文本的称赞,但细审之下却发现它们在形而上学层面都有背离儒学义理的情形。反观辜鸿铭的翻译,表面上看似偏离了儒学概念内涵,或因直接引用西方思想家的章句而饱受扭曲中国文化之讥,但在儒学义理上却保持了与原文本的一致。这种差异解读可归因于各自的文化认同及其所处的社会历史阶段的共同作用。此外,辜氏用西方话语翻译儒经意在诉诸目标语接受者的文化经验,使儒学义理与目标语接受者产生文化共鸣。这是辜氏对译本目标语文化接受的历史文化关系制约深入思考的结果,有其历史的合理性。     

Passing through difference: C.L.R. James and Henry Lefebvre

ABSTRACT

This essay offers a comparative analysis of the work of Henri Lefebvre and C.L.R. James, both key contributors to the emergence of a humanist form of Marxism in the twentieth century. Independently of each other, both writers, I show, developed a mode of critique which emphasised capitalism’s dehumanizing social effects, and which rejected a merely instrumental or utilitarian political response. Consequently, both writers placed critical emphasis on those longings and demands made evident in the insurgent politics of everyday life and popular culture; in what both conceptualised as a search for ‘happiness‘. But at the same time, the comparison is important because it makes evident the extent of the divisive intellectual legacies of empire within European Marxism. Lefebvre’s work bears in itself the marks of a racialised understanding of human relations; the ’human’ of which he speaks is limited in ways that James challenged consistently.     

On the Cusum test for parameter changes in garch(1,1) Models

This paper considers the problem of testing parameter constancy in GARCH(1,1) models. A cusum of squares test is propesed in analogy Of Incl´n and Tiao (1394)'s statistic. its limiting distribution is derived via using the invariance principle for mixingaie sequences obtained by McLeish(1975). Simulation results are illustrated to demonstrate the validity of the cusum test.     

赫德与丁汝昌

赫德认为丁汝昌是一位很出色的好老头,但是,他既不是个军人,也不是个海员.赫德处心积虑地要使英国人主持中国海军,因此,当丁汝昌访问英国时,他要金登干予以帮助,琅威理来华后他要他不要被丁利用,后因琅威理缺乏耐心,使赫德的目标落了空.     

詹姆斯·穆勒功利主义教育思想研究

詹姆斯.穆勒是19世纪英国著名的功利主义经济学家、功利主义伦理学家和功利主义教育思想家。穆勒认为,教育目的在于实现个人和他人的幸福,教育是一种影响人心理品质的环境因素。本文介绍分析了穆勒功利主义教育理论的主要观点,揭示了其理论产生的社会历史背景。认为该理论具有一定合理性,但也存在历史和阶级的局限性。     

《死者》中乔伊斯的荒原思想简

针对詹姆斯·乔伊斯小说《死者》中人物所表现的精神瘫痪，参照荒原文学中的荒原思想，分析了作品中的主要的荒原意象：女性在呻吟，男性在哀叹。研究发现这一荒原意象是精神荒原的真实反映，借以唤醒沉睡中人们去开垦自己的精神荒原。     

Stein-type estimation using ranked set sampling

In this study, we consider the application of the James–Stein estimator for population means from a class of arbitrary populations based on ranked set sample (RSS). We consider a basis for optimally combining sample information from several data sources. We succinctly develop the asymptotic theory of simultaneous estimation of several means for differing replications based on the well-defined shrinkage principle. We showcase that a shrinkage-type estimator will have, under quadratic loss, a substantial risk reduction relative to the classical estimator based on simple random sample and RSS. Asymptotic distributional quadratic biases and risks of the shrinkage estimators are derived and compared with those of the classical estimator. A simulation study is used to support the asymptotic result. An over-riding theme of this study is that the shrinkage estimation method provides a powerful extension of its traditional counterpart for non-normal populations. Finally, we will use a real data set to illustrate the computation of the proposed estimators.
