Performative family: homosexuality,marriage and intergenerational dynamics in China

Using in‐depth interview data on nominal marriages – legal marriages between a gay man and a lesbian to give the appearance of heterosexuality – this paper develops the concept of performative family to explain the processes through which parents and their adult children negotiate and resolve disagreements in relation to marriage decisions in post‐socialist China. We identify three mechanisms – network pressure, a revised discourse of filial piety and resource leverage – through which parents influence their gay offspring's decision to turn to nominal marriage. We also delineate six strategies, namely minimizing network participation, changing expectations, making partial concessions, drawing the line, delaying decisions and ending the marriage, by which gay people in nominal marriages attempt to meet parental expectations while simultaneously retaining a degree of autonomy. Through these interactions, we argue that Chinese parents and their gay adult children implicitly and explicitly collaborate to perform family, emphasizing the importance of formally meeting society's expectations about marriage rather than substantively yielding to its demands. We also argue that the performative family is a pragmatic response to the tension between the persistent centrality of family and marriage and the rising tide of individualism in post‐socialist China. We believe that our findings highlight the specific predicament of homosexual people. They also shed light on the more general dynamics of intergenerational negotiation because there is evidence that the mechanisms used by parents to exert influence may well be similar between gay and non‐gay people.

论《左传》中巫官文化与史官文化之消长

《左传》以其张扬的理性精神,昭示着春秋时期史官文化的发展与进步,与此同时,卜筮现象的大量存在,使《左传》在一定程度上更像是巫官文化与史官文化并存的产物。本文从《左传》文本中出现的大量卜筮现象入手,分析了这一现象背后,巫官文化和史官文化彼此的消长情况。《左传》中记载的卜筮现象,正说明史官文化最终覆盖了巫官文化,成为中华民族传统文化的基础。     

完善一人公司设立制度的若干构想

我国公司法确认了一人公司的法人地位,并对其进行了专门的规范。但公司法设立制度中禁止设立一人股份有限公司和禁止自然人重复设立一人公司的规定,不仅达不到有效防止一人公司滥用法人人格的目的,反而从一定程度上阻碍了一人公司在我国的发展。     

Two-Group Classification Using Neural Networks*

Artificial neural networks are new methods for classification. We investigate two important issues in building neural network models; network architecture and size of training samples. Experiments were designed and carried out on two-group classification problems to find answers to these model building questions. The first experiment deals with selection of architecture and sample size for different classification problems. Results show that choice of architecture and choice of sample size depend on the objective: to maximize the classification rate of training samples, or to maximize the generalizability of neural networks. The second experiment compares neural network models with classical models such as linear discriminant analysis and quadratic discriminant analysis, and nonparametric methods such as k-nearest-neighbor and linear programming. Results show that neural networks are comparable to, if not better than, these other methods in terms of classification rates in the training samples but not in the test samples.     

亚运会对广州体育场馆建设及经营管理的影响

广州亚运会体育场馆的建设应主要利用和改造现有的体育场馆,新建体育场馆和搭建简易体育场馆辅之。在投资上,以政府投入为主,通过土地置换、城市建设规划配套项目的开发权和经营权的发放等形式,把体育场馆的建设作为绑捆式投标项目向全社会公开招标,鼓励社会多渠道的资金投入。在社会主义市场经济体制下,公共体育场馆经营管理模式的建立要以管理体制改革为切入点,以体育场馆经营为核心,以市场为导向进行资源配置,以集约化经济为经营内容,以大型专业管理集团为管理实体,实现体育场馆的区域化和集约化综合经营管理。     

论意识形态的自组织性

意识形态的自组织性指的是意识形态在经济基础决定作用下的自我生成、自我规定、自我构造及自我发展。意识形态的自组织性具体表现为能动性、意向性、超越性、认知性、不平衡性、既与性。建构意识形态的自组织性理论具有重要的理论和实践意义。

论被遗忘权的本土化移植

随着信息技术的高速发展,公民的个人信息和个人隐私极易遭受滥用和侵害。以达成数据主体对于个人信息的主动自决意愿为内驱动力的被遗忘权,欧美发达国家因符合其政治需求和价值主张而广泛确立。虽然被遗忘权权利本质亦与我国社会发展实际相契合,且国内的立法司法实践也为其培育了移植基础,但被遗忘权在我国的本土化移植仍然面临诸多障碍,如信息技术瓶颈、商业风险增加、现有制度衔接低效等。从厘清被遗忘权基本概念、建立专门信息保护机构、构建商业化个人信息储存及使用机制、明确被遗忘权救济渠道与规则以及升级信息保护技术等方面为切入点,寻求被遗忘权本土化移植的解决思路。
