钓鱼琐记

钓鱼琐记华扬钓翁者，钓鱼之人也。自古而今，有以钓营生的，更有以钓消遣的。鄙人则二者兼之，于是钓了初一钓初二，次数多了也就钓上了瘾。一不过，一个平民百姓，哪敢奢望有小车送钓、有大款请钓，只能风来雨去，自掏腰包找乐。由于要掏腰包，也就不能不了解“钓情”，...     

康有为埃及之行的记游诗

戊戌维新运动失败后,清政府发出了对维新运动领袖康有为抄家缉杀的通令,康有为被迫流亡异域,在国外漂泊旅行达16年,经31国,行60万里。在此期间他自喻为画工,要描绘世界各地的奇观绝胜,供同胞游而览之。他在《欧洲十一国游记》的序言中,明确提出欲将各国的山川、国土、宗教、艺术、文物“尽揽掬之而采别掇吸之”。康有为在光绪三十年(1904年)5月去欧洲路过埃及开罗时,本打算上岸观光,但由于英国殖民当局以疫禁而未成行,因此他对

The shadow of the past: Financial risk taking and negative life events

Based on data from the four 2004–2010 waves of the US Health and Retirement Study (HRS), we show that financial risk taking is significantly related to life-history negative events out of an individual’s control. Using observed portfolio decisions to proxy for risk taking, we find correlation with two of such individual-specific events: having been victim of a physical attack and (especially) the loss of a child are associated with lower and less frequent investments in risky assets, with an intensity similar to that of the beginning, in 2008, of a collectively experienced event such as the recent financial crisis. We also find evidence that the correlation of risk taking with a child loss is long-lasting, as opposed to the correlation with a physical attack that disappears after few years. Our analysis is more in favor of a preference-based – rather than a belief-based – explanation of the observed change in risk taking. Overall our findings indicate that the past, especially through the loss of a child, casts a long shadow that extends over individuals’ current decisions also within unrelated domains.     

Forms of politicization in the French literary field

Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of “fields,” this article proposes a model of analysis of the forms of politicization in the literary field based on the French case. In France, during the first half of the twentieth century, the writer has embodied the figure of the “Intellectual.” The first claim is that the politicization of the French literary field resulted from three factors: the autonomy it gained in the nineteenth century, its lack of professional development, and the competition with the newly emerging professions. These factors, joined to the specific features of the literary activity, account for the writers’ most typical mode of politicization: prophesying. This analysis adapts the Weberian concepts of “charismatic power” and of “prophetism” to the intellectual field, in the way suggested by Pierre Bourdieu’s interpretation of Max Weber’s theory of religion. The second claim is that the forms of politicization of writers depend on the position they occupy in the literary field: the way of being a writer conditions the way one engages in the political sphere. Four figures of committed writers are distinguished: the “notabilities,” the “aesthetes,” the “avant-garde,” and the “writer-journalists.”

Stability of retrospective reports in depression: traumatic events,past depressive episodes,and parental psychopathology

Research findings based on the retrospective reports of depressed individuals have long been held suspect because of possible negative reporting biases associated with depression. In the present study we assess the stability of retrospective reports of past traumatic events, past depressive episodes, parental depression, and parental substance abuse in a sample of 234 adults whose depression status changed over two assessments conducted one year apart. Depression status was found to affect reporting of number of past depressive episodes and past traumatic events, but not reporting of parental psychopathology. Implications of these findings are discussed for research that relies on the retrospective self-reports of depressed participants.

The acknowledgment of literary influence: A structural analysis of a German literary network

This paper analyzes a characteristic syndrome of modern literature identified as anxiety of influence by literary critics and as mania for originality by art historians. Based on a sociological reformulation of the syndrome as it relates to the structure of acknowledged influence, the paper develops and tests several hypotheses. Data are based on a survey of West German writers and are analyzed by using clustering techniques and correspondence analysis. First, the analysis demonstrates the fragmented and non-hierarchical structure of acknowledged literary influence. Second, the different types of influence (absence distinctiveness, and clusterability) correspond to different professional and literary characteristics of writers. Results highlight one of the contradictions between the cultural code and the professional structure of modern art: at the level of ideology, greatness and genius are equated with the absence of influence and artistic uniqueness. The analysis shows, however, that the denial/absence of acknowledged influence is found among writers who are excluded from the professional networks where reputations are made in the world of literature.     

试析努比亚人在埃及的统治

埃及与努比亚在地理上是近邻关系,历史上一直保持着千丝万缕的联系,不过在二者的交往中往往都是埃及处于优势地位。但到公元前8世纪,努比亚人征服了埃及,进而将埃及与努比亚合并成一个国家,建立了埃及史上的第25王朝。从起源上看,这个王朝是正统的努比亚王朝,但在统治方式上却没有“一刀切”,既照顾到了埃及人的习惯,又凸显了努比亚的特色。无论在王权标志、行政、宗教、文化还是对外关系上都是如此,既体现了其统治的灵活性,也实现了两种文明的融合。
