Brother Jonathan and John Bull build a nation: the transactional nature of American nationalism in the early nineteenth century

This article employs a transactional approach to examine the role of national stereotypes in the rise of American nationalism in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Despite deep sectional and partisan divisions within the US population, an American national identity was constructed in contrast to the British national character and perceived British ideals. This identity was constructed on an external categorization by the elite males of other nations, particularly England. Political satires and caricatures, particularly in the character of Brother Jonathan and John Bull, illustrate the oppositional nature of this nascent national identity during the early nineteenth century.     

Gossip as strategy: The management of talk about others on reality TV show 'Big Brother'

In this paper we examine the nature of gossip talk as an activity type in the context of the TV game show 'Big Brother'. Using a detailed analytic approach to the situated nature of gossip sequences, we show how participants in the show manage gossip talk strategically to establish social relationships within the house, as well as to present themselves in a positive way to the viewing (and voting) audience. We argue that there is a contextual double framing for talk in the Big Brother (BB) house which participants are orienting to, both as members of a social group, and as players in a TV game show. The paper thus contributes to existing work on the social function of gossip, as well as exploring its strategic function in this particular interactional context, calling into question the nature of 'natural' discourse.     

论嵇康《兄秀才公穆入军赠诗十九首》中的玄学思想

嵇康与嵇喜虽为手足,却是魏晋时期不同社会思潮的代表,嵇康赠其兄之《兄秀才公穆入军赠诗十九首》既展示出魏晋士人迥异的人生追求,亦折射出嵇康"越名教而任自然"的玄学思想。冲淡玄虚而又理性冷峻的文字,映衬出嵇康高洁的心性和超逸的风神。     

兰陵萧氏文人在北齐的际遇和创作

萧梁年间,部分兰陵萧氏文人以各种原因北迁入齐。他们出身皇族,文化素养较高,入北后政治上受礼遇,文化上获信赖,生活优游安宁,文学活动频繁。通过与本土文人的持续交流和相互影响,形成了既保有南朝精巧工致特征而又兼收北方清新之气的独特文风。由于萧氏及其作品的出现,在北齐文坛上引起一些文学讨论,推动了南北文风融合,为文学发展作出了独特贡献。     

水蛭子考--中日洪水神话比较

中日洪水神话都有洪水为灾、兄妹结婚和再殖人类的情节.作为洪水兄妹婚的结晶,日本的怪胎神水蛭子与中国的洪水怪胎神既有联系又有区别,他们具有原龙神、地母神和异形神的神格,但水蛭子没有像中国的洪水怪胎神那样被杀死而变成人类,而是被弃于舟上,放逐到大海.其原因除了对血缘婚的恐惧以外,还与水蛭子本来是太阳神有关.因为放逐大海和回归天空具有同一性.这是理解水蛭子命运的关键所在.尽管如此,中日洪水神话是同源异流的关系,其文化之根在中国的南方.     

DTREE,The Electronic DSM-111-R

A study showing that student internet behavior differed significantly for students with high scores on a test of depression is thought to be the first to consider the relationship between internet use and depression that focuses on patterns of online behavior rather than content. Study findings have the potential for use in the human services as a way to assess and/or promote mental health. Although the data were collected anonymously with Institutional Review Board approval and participants' informed consent, objections have been raised suggesting this type of data collection represents “Big Brother” or the monitoring of individuals' behavior without their awareness as portrayed in George Orwell's famous novel, 1984. The importance of this type of research in furthering our understanding of the impact of Internet use on human behavior is emphasized. Additionally, the role of the university is stressed as a location for conducting ethical research which disseminates findings via publication to inform and spur policymakers to develop appropriate guidelines to prevent misuse of new knowledge and technology.

戊戌变法失败后,光绪帝虽然形同囚徒,但慈禧太后总感到他还占着皇位。为了杜绝光绪帝的东山张起,慈禧太后册立端郡王载漪的儿子溥偶为“大阿哥”。尔后即导演了一幕“已亥建储”的丑剧。端郡王载漪等顽固派利用义和团仇恨洋人的心理,怂恿义和团为他们火中取栗。故在义和团运动失败后．慈禧对于栽漪一家人的宠信一落千丈了,栽漪及其胞弟镇国公栽澜均被处以“夺爵”和发往新疆充军,而在光绪二十七年（1901年）十月“两宫”自西安还都（北京）途中行至开封时,慈禧又下了道谕旨撤销了溥偶的“大阿哥”名号。出宫后的溥偶,身遭冷遇,又无力自谋生活出路,于是积忧成疾,迨至1942年他终于病死在其内兄塔王府侧栖身的小屋之中。
