传统文化符号与高校青年文化身份认同

文化符号是地域、民族或国家文化内涵的重要载体和形式。文化符号对象化的结构性机制可以反观人类整体结构、总体精神的发展,也可以使人反观自我个性的状态和形成自我身份认同。传承传统文化符号是青年文化身份认同的重要内容维度。当前消费主义文化下的符号消费对传统文化符号的异化表达,后现代虚无主义文化下对文化符号的碎片化解读,全球化下文化冲突对本土文化符号的挑战等情况不同程度地造成文化符号记忆断裂,影响高校青年群体的自我身份认同。为此,要与时俱进地推进传统文化符号的现当代发展;增强文化自信,不断增进高校青年文化身份认同感;运用高校德育教育体系,培养青年群体传承文化符号的文化自觉。     

基于扎根理论的大学生符号消费式"网络自拍"研究

"网络自拍"作为自媒体时代嵌入人们生活的记录性符号,已成为青年大学生日常社交互动、自我个性叙述与文化理念表达的消费式符码和仪式化表征。基于多位大学生深度访谈与文本分析,采用程序性扎根理论的研究范式,借助QSR NVivo 12.0的质性分析工具对大学生日常性"网络自拍"进行了自下而上的解构式理论陈述与编码式模型构建。研究发现,大学生符号消费式"网络自拍"具有表意生活风格、展演角色身份、分享精彩惊喜与消解情绪孤独的符号性价值生产作用;也有重构自我认同、美化自我认知、巩固社交网络、记录成长经历的记录式价值强化作用;还有调整自我目标规划、端正生活态度、自勉奋斗激情与沉浸仪式陷阱的消费式价值再生产的影响。由此,形成大学生网络自拍式社会展演的内在逻辑详释与作用机理深描。

构建新时代青年“强国一代”的集体记忆:生命历程视角

法国社会学家哈布瓦赫认为,每一代人的心灵都被其时代的重大历史事件所塑造,而青春时期的集体记忆将影响其个体的生命历程。根据集体记忆的生产机理,通过"代单位"建构,使新时代青年获得群体归属感和认同感;通过"媒介仪式"建构,形塑新时代青年的群体社会表征,通过"传递经验"建构,建立积极的网络社会心态;通过"情境记忆"建构,培养积极的情绪情感,通过"生命故事"建构,引导新时代青年讲好青春故事,实现新时代青年"强国一代"集体记忆的认同、固化与刻写。     

粤港澳大湾区城市文化特质的战略思考

粤港澳大湾区城市群需要什么样的城市文化特质,才有可能承担起中国走向和融入世界桥头堡的角色,建立起不仅具有经济硬实力、还具有文化认同融合发展软实力的亚太和国际化中心城市?构建粤港澳大湾区的文化发展战略,使其与总体发展规划要求相适应和配套,是摆在粤港澳大湾区建设规划中一个不可回避的紧迫课题。     

试论网络外交产生的背景

网络外交在最近两年才引起国内少数学者的关注和研究,对于其产生背景的研究更是少之又少。本文从国际关系的变化和信息技术的不断发展特别是从信息技术革命的背景,来分析网络外交产生的这两大背景。网络外交的兴起反映了当代经济全球化趋势下,国际关系中政治主体多元化、复杂化等特点;体现了当代信息化社会中,外交方式民主化、透明化的发展趋势。提出发展和完善网络外交,对于运用国际话语权塑造国家形象及构建和谐世界,提升国家软实力具有重要意义。     

自反性青年亚文化——青年文化的空间属性与情感转向

“青年文化”具有“亚文化”属性,不仅仅指“青春叛逆”这一特质,在新媒体时代更涉及到“网络媒介”对“青年文化”的形塑。通过当代大学生阅读调查、网络使用习惯调查以及实际社交状况的深描,探讨青年群体在虚拟空间与现实空间中不同的身份表达,可以发现当下“赛博空间”中的青年自我表征与现实身份认同的关系具有“自反性”,一方面“次元壁”的区隔显示出青年身份认同的焦虑,另一方面从“网络—现实”空间的二元对立中又生产出身份认同的路径,即通过“自我对抗”最终生产出青年的主体性。     

诗意传承、仪式展演与亚文化资本积累——古风音乐圈的亚文化生产与文化认同

古风文化是本土亚文化中蓬勃发展的一个分支，以生产传统文化元素与流行元素相结合的音乐作品为特色，逐渐聚集起了以青少年群体为主的古风音乐亚文化圈。从亚文化的生产实践入手对古风音乐圈的文化认同进行研究发现：在形塑民族认同层面，古风音乐创作者对中华民族的诗意传统进行了现代化改写；在培养群体认同层面，古风音乐圈对内通过符号生产进行群体身份的赋予，对外则通过仪式化展演强化群体认同；在寻求自我认同层面，古风音乐圈成员通过不同形式的音乐生产实践，或是积累亚文化资本，或是回应对个体身份的疑惑。古风音乐作为传统文化在互联网时代的良好呈现形式，成为提升青少年群体文化认同感的催化剂，也响应了新时代构建文化自信的国家策略，但在发展过程中也存在文化价值被商业价值遮蔽、创作者的话语权被削弱、组织松散缺乏优秀领袖等问题。     

大学生学校认同与适应状况研究

网络空间命运共同体的理论逻辑和时代价值

习近平总书记关于网络空间命运共同体的重要论述与马克思的共同体思想一脉相承,具有完整的理论逻辑。它既延伸了人类命运共同体思想,又是习近平全球治理观的内在要求,其中网络政治共同体、网络经济共同体、网络文化共同体和网络安全共同体四个主要内容息息相关,相辅相成。在高速发展的信息化时代,构建全球化的网络空间命运共同体既能加强中国的话语权,又能促进世界互联网事业健康发展,这是全人类自由发展的必然选择。     

Introduction to critical perspectives and emerging models of inter-American studies

Abstract

Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954) has been the subject of much critical attention, but the original story upon which it was based and its author, Cornell Woolrich, less so. This article examines ‘Rear Window’ (1942) in the context of Woolrich’s writing and his life more broadly, in order to reveal the privileged role of fenestral imagery in his work. Through a process which starts with surveillance through glass, and a creative interpretation of ‘real’ events consumed in terms strikingly similar to mass media entertainments, Woolrich’s marginalized protagonist assumes the role of the detective and, in doing so, his identity is enhanced. The Woolrichian window reifies abstract social boundaries. It serves, simultaneously, as a symbol of urban alienation and a fantasy of social integration. It also becomes a trope of consumption and popular culture. Hitchcock’s film has sometimes been praised for the self-conscious way in which it aligns the image of the window with the cinema screen in order to implicate viewers in the protagonist’s voyeuristic practice. This article extends such an analysis to Woolrich’s story, but also takes it a step further, to reveal the ways in which reading similarly might be regarded as a voyeuristic form of cultural consumption.     

Ideological or religious? Contending visions on the future of Alevi identity

Establishing a coherent collective identity within the modern urban context among people who have different ideological, social and religious orientations, and social and economic backgrounds, is an ongoing struggle within the Alevi community in Turkey. This study tries to understand how alternative positions on Alevi identity dynamically construct the boundaries, moral contents and the new shape of Alevi identity in modern urban contexts through use of various discursive resources. At least two main contending ‘positions’ on Alevi identity try to institutionalise Alevi identity in modern urban contexts, which are ‘Ideological Position’ and ‘Religious Position’. Those discourse positions constitute different visions about the past and the future of the Alevi community as well as the cultural and the political boundaries of Alevi identity. More importantly, those positions resonate in ordinary citizens’ life stories as well as group narratives. This study utilises the analytical frame of ‘positioning theory’ to shed light on the complexities of identity negotiation.     

Pride and popcorn: consuming the idea of community at film screenings in the Turkish diaspora

A range of studies have revealed the interrelatedness of identity construction, community formation and media among diasporas, mostly focusing on domestic contexts. Seeking to add further nuance to the understanding of the social lives of diasporas, we concentrate on media culture in the public environment of the film theatre. The significance of diasporic film consumption is investigated through a local audience study of Turkish film screenings in Antwerp. The phenomenon of the screenings was analysed through a multi-method approach, including 536 questionnaires among audiences, 19 in-depth interviews and 3 group interviews, along with previous findings (on distribution and exploitation) of the same project. The results show that Turkish films are almost exclusively attended by people with Turkish roots, creating a Turkish diasporic space within the boundaries of the urban and the public. The audience study shows that the screenings fulfil a major social role but also affect understandings of community.     

Managing multi-mobility and multi-layered identity in China: how ethnic Chinese-Venezuelan returnees cope with Chinese language,culture and identity

An increasing number of ethnic Chinese students born in Venezuela return to mainland China each year to study the language of their ancestors, Mandarin. This article examines how they expose themselves to multiple discourses of ‘identity’, develop a reflexive strategy to cope with a multi-layered identity and act out their identity in China. In order to do so three core topics – culture, language, and identity will be analyzed and elucidated. In today's world, different forms of mobility affect the negotiation of identity and belonging. Besides migration or the physical/corporeal mobility of people there are other forms of mobilities such as the mobility of commodities, the flows of information, ideas and beliefs, financial mobility as in the case of remittances, virtual travel through Internet. These mobilities intersect and affect different discourses of language, identity and culture. The identity and sense of belonging of this group will be elucidated in four interconnected realms of social life: (1) family, (2) school, (3) fashion and popular culture, (4) food practices.     

Identity Deployment and Social Change: Understanding Identity as a Social Movement and Organizational Strategy1

In this article, we discuss the theoretical implications of empirical elaborations of Bernstein’s (1997) model of identity deployment. New research encompasses a diverse array of venues and targets and elaborates on the mechanisms through which identities may be deployed strategically. Application of the identity deployment model spans a variety of so‐called ‘identity movements’ as well as ethnic, nationalist and indigenous movements, and community mobilization. Identity deployment is also a useful strategy in organizational and professional contexts, as in the micro‐brewery movement or culinary movements, demonstrating the theoretical generalizability of the original model. New research closely examines the relationship between identity and strategy and the conditions that affect activists’ choice of identity strategies as well as the situations where they might avoid identity strategies altogether. Research finds that identities may be deployed performatively, rhetorically or discursively. Identity deployment may be facilitated by emotional displays, music and ritual. The way that power and authority are organized in a given venue determines in part the capacity of activists and organizations to alternate between celebrating and suppressing difference from the majority. Identity deployment influences internal and external outcomes, affecting mobilization and goal achievement. Finally, feedback loops link the different analytic dimensions of identity.     

本地媒体与城市形象之形塑：再现、场域与认同——-以广州为个案的实证研究

广州本地媒体中的广州城市形象以中性和正面为主,而政府在广州城市形象的形塑过程中占据着主导地位。由于报道主题不均衡、消息来源多元化程度不够等原因,广州媒体中的广州城市形象呈现出一幅“以权力为中心”的失衡图景,并隐含着种种权力与关系渗透以及控制的痕迹。因此,本地媒体中的广州城市形象,实际上是一种意义化的再现,是多种场域互动、协商中的话语生产,也是一种城市认同的培养与形成。     

‘Don’t discriminate against minority nationalities’: practicing Tibetan ethnicity on social media

Through an analysis of popular posts Tibetans shared over the social media application WeChat in 2013 and 2014 and offline discussions about them, this paper shows how Tibetans living in and traveling through Xining City practiced and performed their ethnic identity in the face of perceived harassment. Through their viral posts, they created a cyber-community that contributed to Tibetan ethnic group formation when Tibetans interpreted their ethnic identity as the basis for unjust treatment by the Chinese state and private Han individuals. In online posts the Han are portrayed as harassing Tibetans after terror attacks across China, violating minzu rights, denigrating Tibetan culture and territory, and denying Tibetans equal footing as modern compatriots. Social media are changing the ‘representational politics’ of Tibetan ethnicity, altering participation in the representation of the Tibetan ethnic group. Still, online discourse remains subject to constraints; private offline discussions remain important fora of opinion exchange.     

Book Review

This article is concerned with current understandings of the relevance of urban community studies within sociology. It starts by revisiting some of the major critiques made of community studies in the 1960s and 1970s, and briefly reviews whether network analysis, and in particular a focus on ‘personal communities’, provided a satisfactory alternative approach. The main part of the article argues that despite the criticisms there have been there is still much to be gained from a focus on people's attachments to locality, including the networks to which they are linked. Taking processes of globalization and migration as its major themes, the article explores how research has demonstrated the continuing relevance of ‘locality’ and ‘community’ for understanding the ways that contemporary social and economic transformations shape people's experiences. As well as considering different aspects of social exclusion, the article reviews how recent studies have explored the increasingly complex interplay of locality and identity.
