Humor and satire in politics: Introducing cultural sociology to the field

The landscape of political humor and satire is changing rapidly, and it is becoming an increasingly relevant aspect of our culture. Although scholars have been actively trying to capture this change, majority of the existing frameworks for understanding humor and satire in politics still reduce these phenomena to mere genres or rhetoric tools. In addition, they provide insufficient accounts concerning the reception of humor and satire, and neglect to interpret and explain what they communicate. In the article, a general understanding of humor and satire outside of a political context, followed by an overview of studies discussing humor and satire in politics through their applications in social movements, as leadership tools, and through their manifestations in mass media has been presented. Lastly, a cultural sociological perspective to the field has been introduced. It has been argued that approaching humor and satire in politics through a structural hermeneutic method of the Strong Program will enable us to recognize and treat political humor and satire as autonomous and complex cultural systems which carry an internal power to move people.     

语言问题的理论思索

从功能的角度考察语言的本质 ,是诸多著作理解语言性质的哲学基础。功能论固然看到了语言对于人类社会的决定性作用 ,然而却丝毫未触及语言自身的结构特征和机制。仅从功能的角度认识语言是不够的 ,还必须深入到语言结构内部 ,对语言的特征、机制及结构体系进行多角度观察 ,才能较为完整地揭示语言的本质     

Alternative boundaries for CUSUM tests

Alternative boundaries for the common Recursive (or Standard) CUSUM test and the OLS-based CUSUM test for structural change are suggested and their properties are examined by simulation of expectedp values. The poor power of the tests for early and late structural changes can be improved for the OLS-based version, whereas this weakness of the Recursive CUSUM test cannot be overcome by the new boundaries.

国家与市民社会理论视野中的村民自治改革——从国家与市民社会的良性结构性互动关系出发

国家与市民社会的“良性结构性互动说”为村民自治改革的未来发展提供了方向。在国家与市民社会理论视野下，村民自治改革不仅在现实层面上推动了国家与社会的分离，而且也实现了国家与社会关系的制度化重构。但村民自治改革作为一种内生的政治发展过程也引发了越来越多的具有中国特色的理论和实践问题。因此，要推行以村民自治为基础的多元化社会自治，建构市民社会的广泛社会基础；同时对以村民自治权为基础的社会自治权与国家公权进行明确的法律界分，并为社会自治权提供侵权法律救济，从而在组织形态和权力形态上实现社会与国家的良性结构性互动。     

名词性复合词的意义建构诸理论述评

名词性复合词的意义建构是一个看似简单,实际上非常复杂的过程。传统语法把这一意义建构过程简单化,认为名词性复合词的意义等于各组成部分名词的意义总和。转换生成语言学家 意义特征理论学家也都提出了各自的理论解释,但都有很大的缺陷。概念合成语言学理论对名词性复合词的意义建构做出了比较完整的理论解释,但也有待于进一步的改进。     

论石油存续企业的结构调整与优化改革的总体思路

石油存续企业的结构调整与优化，是当前石油企业深化改革的难点和重点问题。石油存续企业改革的核心应在明确定位的基础上，合理确定企业的主营业务与辅营业务，并以此为基础对现有的业务经营单位进行重组，最终对辅业经营单位进行结构调整和整合，实现企业的长期生存和发展。     

从现代解释学视角看马克思主义中国化

马克思主义中国化的阐释,始终是中国学术界关注的焦点,近几年在很多领域有突破性的研究成果。本文从现代解释学的视角,就理解之前的“前见”和“前结构”、过去与现在的“视域融合”、在“效果历史”中发现自身的情景、“意义”发现的“无限延伸”等4个方面,围绕马克思主义中国化进程中毛泽东思想的形成与发展的若干问题,进行了初步探讨。     

善意取得制度研究

善意取得制度意在对特定类型的非正常的利益变动,做出价值判断,进行利益衡平。那么,善意取得制度对何种类型非正常的利益变动进行衡平?又是如何进行衡平的呢?这就引出了善意取得制度的构成要件及其效力问题。笔者正是从这两方面着手对善意取得制度基础理论和实践应用提供一孔之见。     

The impact of sales promotions on store performance: a structural vector autoregressive approach

The present paper analyses the impact of sales promotions on store performance, in the short and long term, from the retailer's point of view. Relationships among promoted and regular sales in the hypermarkets of a large-scale retail chain of national importance, are investigated by means of a structural vector autoregressive model (SVAR). Statistically significant effects of sales promotions in the heavy household section on store sales are found in the short-run; these promotions produce additional sales and thus act as an attractive factor. Promotions in textile category, on the contrary, produce an immediate negative effect on net sales. In the long run, negative statistically significant effects on regular sales are detected when promotions are repeatedly implemented within perishables category.     

文化误读的理论探索

文化误读,从文化交流伊始,便无可规避地存在其历史进程中。由于它在某种程度上阻碍了对他者文化真实而全面的认识,长期被传统观念斥责为错误的、负面的。文章试从文化相对主义,解构主义,哲学阐释学这三种不同理论纬度重新认识文化误读,并借此希望探索一条研究文化误读现象的有效途径。
