Young people's orientations to the future: navigating the present and imagining the future

This article discusses the findings of the Imagine Sheppey project (2013–2014) which studied how young people are ‘oriented’ towards the future. The aim and approach of the project were to explore future imaginaries in a participatory, experimental, and performative way. Working with young people in a series of arts-based workshops, we intervened in different environments to alter the space as an experience of change – temporal, material, and symbolic. We documented this process visually and made use of the images produced as the basis for elicitation in focus groups with a wider group of young people. In this article we discuss young people's future orientations through the themes of reach, resources, shape, and value. In so doing, we reflect on the paths that our young respondents traced to connect their presents to what is next, what we call their modes of present–future navigation. We explore the qualities and characteristics of their stances within a wider reflection about how young people approach, imagine, and account for the future.     

视觉权力反抗下的艾米丽

《献给艾米丽的一朵玫瑰花》引起了很多研究者的兴趣，但是，是谁以及为什么献给艾米丽一朵玫瑰花却没有定论。从视觉权力的角度分析这一问题，指出艾米丽作为个体的“被看者”在面对“看”所代表的集体权力时，表面采取了顺从，实际运用了最强烈的反抗，扭转了“看”与“被看者”的不平等关系，从而赢得福克纳的一朵代表敬意的玫瑰花。     

Discrimination,mental health,and body image among transgender and gender-non-binary individuals: Constructing a multiple mediational path model

The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationships among discrimination, mental health, and body image in a national sample of transgender adults. Participants (N = 78) identified as transgender, genderqueer, or other gender-non-binary identities and were recruited via a national online survey. Harassment/rejection, work/school, and other discrimination explained 10.4% of the variance in body appreciation, while satisfaction with life, anxiety, self-esteem, and depression explained 60.7%. Within these models, harassment/rejection was inversely associated with body appreciation, while self-esteem and satisfaction with life were positively associated. A series of path models moving from a measurement model to a more parsimonious and excellent-fitting model found that the effect of harassment/rejection on body appreciation was fully mediated by self-esteem and satisfaction with life, resulting in a multiple mediation.

Affective machines or the inner self? Drawing the boundaries of the female body in the socialist romantic imagination

This article explores two conflicting aesthetics of the female body in post-Stalinist Soviet science fiction. One represented women of the communist future as explorers of the space frontier in assemblages with machines, testing the cultural border between the female and the technological. Another appealed to the mysterious female nature as the Other of human culture, pushing forward the understanding of socialist progress as a masculine project. This article argues that both aesthetics grew within the cultural phenomenon of socialist Romanticism, which emerged in the mid-1950s as a reaction to Stalin-era quasi-Enlightenment rationality and its dominant style of socialist realism.     

Laying the foundation for a global body of knowledge in public relations and communications management

An internationally recognised body of knowledge is both possible and necessary for the future success and professionalisation of public relations. Through extensive content analysis of 31 credential schemes, education frameworks, and scholarly articles produced across six continents, the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communications Management has developed a foundational list of knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviours (KSABs), which entry and mid/senior-level practitioners across the world should possess. This study and list of KSABs is laying the foundation for development of an internationally accepted framework which professional associations and academic institutions across the world will be able to use to benchmark professional credentials and curriculum outcomes.

关于“非遗”保护三个基本问题的话语分析

话语研究不仅关心人们如何言说,而且更为重视分析决定言说方式的深层动因。“非遗”保护既是一个社会各阶层权力角逐的场域,又是一个可通过不断协商达成共识的平台。人们对于“非遗”保护的认识人言言殊的根本原因在于参与“非遗”保护的社会各阶层各自的利益诉求并不完全一致。“非遗”保护工作正是在争论中逐渐确立了自身的工作目标、指导原则、实施方案,体现了极强的话语建构性。“非遗”作为一种传统生活方式的隐形载体,活态传承性是其精髓与灵魂;“非遗”保护必须以人为本,只有让“非遗”与现实的人民群众的日常生活发生联系和耦合,“非遗”保护才可能取得实效。
