Cultural production in the working-class resistance: labour activism,gender politics,and solidarities

ABSTRACT

Against the backdrop of China as a seemingly ideal model to justify and normalize capitalist globalization, this article seeks to demonstrate how grassroots and bottom-up resistance can disrupt hegemonic ideologies and dominant values. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with a local NGO and an activist group from March 2016 to July 2017, my study demonstrates that labour activism through cultural production becomes an important constitution of contemporary working-class resistance in China. Collective cultural production, such as advocacy songs, live shows, and writing endorsement articles, expresses a working-class subjective position and an anti-capitalist standpoint. Rural migrant workers’ inequality serves as a political and ideological stance from which different social actors join together in activism and resistance to construct imaginations of a new socialist China where there are equal relations in production and distribution, and social inclusion and respect. In the process of forming solidarities, feminist agendas for gender equality are marginalized in working-class resistance and gendered power relations greatly shape activists’ subjectivities, practices, and experiences. This study contributes to the intersection of labour studies, cultural studies, and feminist studies in China. I argue that grassroots labour cultural production contributes to the discursive formation of counter-hegemonic power; yet a more inclusive activist agenda is still required to imagine and build an equal and just society.     

Time-Dose-Response Models for Microbial Risk Assessment

While microbial risk assessment (MRA) has been used for over 25 years, traditional dose-response analysis has only predicted the overall risk of adverse consequences from exposure to a given dose. An important issue for consequence assessment from bioterrorist and other microbiological exposure is the distribution of cases over time due to the initial exposure. In this study, the classical exponential and beta-Poisson dose-response models were modified to include exponential-power dependency of time post inoculation (TPI) or its simplified form, exponential-reciprocal dependency of TPI, to quantify the time of onset of an effect presumably associated with the kinetics of in vivo bacterial growth. Using the maximum likelihood estimation approach, the resulting time-dose-response models were found capable of providing statistically acceptable fits to all tested pooled animal survival dose-response data. These new models can consequently describe the development of animal infectious response over time and represent observed responses fairly accurately. This is the first study showing that a time-dose-response model can be developed for describing infections initiated by various pathogens. It provides an advanced approach for future MRA frameworks.     

中国家用轿车初购者与再购者的决策过程差异研究

中国的家用轿车市场正在从以初购者为主的新兴市场向以初购、再购者并重的成熟市场转变.再购者与初购者的购车决策过程存在系统性差异.本研究探索了中国家用轿车初购者与再购者在属性感知一价值判断一态度形成一行为意向这一决策过程的差别.我们通过对北京4802名有购车意向的消费者(2182名初购者与2620名再购者)的调查,发现初购者与再购者在以下四方面存在显著差异:(1)在属性方面,初购者更重视品牌声誉这一外在属性,而再购者更重视汽车的内在属性(内外设计、做工及驾驶性能);(2)在价值方面,初购者更在意车辆的情感价值,而再购者更追求功能价值;(3)在行为方面,初购者更易受周围社会群体的影响,而再购者更听从内心态度的主宰;(4)在购买方面,虽然初购者与再购者都更倾向于购买高销量品牌,但相对于初购者,再购者能更多地尝试低销量品牌.     

文学形态与媒介变革——对网络文学的检视与评估

对网络文学进行学理性的检视与评估,是十分必要而且意义重大的。数字化生存方式的来临,文学整体创作机制发生了转型。网络文学的出现,再次向人们提出一个陈旧的新话题:媒介变革与文学形态变化之关系。网络文学借助新兴数字技术,遵循着大众传媒时代的文化逻辑,在形成自己的特点的同时造成了对传统美学观念的挑战与颠覆。网络文学的狂欢化民间化也带来难以避免的局限。     

泰戈尔诗歌在西班牙语世界的传播和接受

20世纪二三十年代,泰戈尔的以《吉檀迦利》为代表的诗歌对希梅内斯等西班牙语诗人有过深刻的影响,而这种影响是以泰戈尔诗歌在西班牙语世界的翻译和传播为前提的。维多利亚.奥坎波和希梅内斯等人是翻译和传播泰戈尔作品的代表人物。泰戈尔诗歌所以能对西班牙语诗人产生影响,主要是因为西班牙语诗界在这一时期正在脱离现代主义潮流并寻求新的创作风格。在对泰戈尔诗歌的接受问题上,西班牙语文坛也存在一些负面的声音。     

中日民间相互认知与中日关系重构

中日关系是当代中国对外交往中一对重要的双边关系，中日关系的好坏不仅取决于决策者对重大问题的决断，也受制于中日民间的相互认知。目前，由于认知情景和认知偏见的影响，中日民间的认知时常以错误知觉的形式显现，这不仅妨碍了两国民众客观公正地认识对方，影响了中日民间关系向前发展，也严重威胁到中日国家间关系的健康稳定发展，不利于东亚地区和世界的和平与稳定。     

解救人生·美化社会·构建学术——论朱光潜“人生的艺术化”理论的三维支点

朱光潜的“人生的艺术化”理论是审美人生观的典型理论，解救人生面临的困境，改善和美化社会道德伦理，构建独立品格的学术体系是人生艺术化理论的三维支点。他试图通过这一理论的倡导，构建和谐的生活世界、社会范式和学术境界，对我们今天的生活依然有借鉴意义。     

大学学报"特色论"不能成立

学报“特色论”认为，“特色”就是指每个学报都应该有自己的所谓个性，否则就没有存在余地。事实上，这种“特色论“很容易使大学学报放弃根本使命和基本功能而误入歧途。我们认为：登载学术论文的大学学报不一定需要特色；学报“特色论“与大学学报的实际情况不相符合；学报“特色论”有悖我国大学学报的优良历史传统；认清和完成使命才是大学学报的真正生命。     

宋代民间强势力量与信仰空间建设——以两湖地区为中心的考察

以两湖地区为中心,通过分析宋代民间强势力量参与祠庙、寺观建设的情况,阐明了信仰空间在公共领域中占有独一无二的地位,指明了民间强势力量参与信仰空间建设主要出于家族利益的考量,进而,在比较的基础上,揭示了对待迷信的不同态度会深刻影响一个地区的历史进程.
