从宏观角度认识我国政府对居家养老方式的选择

居家养老和居家养老服务是我国政府目前大力倡导的养老方式.对于这种养老方式,目前研究主要从老年人对家庭和亲情需求角度进行分析.本文认为,居家养老的提出具有宏观背景,是我国社会经济和文化发展的产物,也是世界各国应对人口老龄化对策体系的有机构成.只有从这个角度认识居家养老,我们的工作才能更自觉,更有意义.     

网络微文化初探

网络微文化指的是一种进入个人互联网时代后逐渐形成并发展的注重微观和个体,以个体性、平等性为核心的价值观念和行为模式的全新社会文化现象。网络微文化在兴起和发展中有其独特的基本内涵和深远的社会影响。网络微文化的健康发展也需要国家正确的引导,包括推进高新技术的发展、发挥网络微文化的正能量和推进网络微文化健康发展的系统工程。总之,对于网络微文化的正确探索和理解已成为人文、社会学者以及相关政府决策部门需要面对的时代课题。     

新政治经济学视野下的媒体偏误及其治理

信息化时代的新闻媒体对社会政治经济生活的作用日益重要,媒体报道在很大程度上影响着个人决策。但是,由于受到不同利益主体的多重影响,媒体报道可能偏离真相或客观认知,产生媒体偏误。通过分析新闻报道从生产到受众的过程及各利益主体的特征所构建的新政治经济学研究框架,可以为认识媒体偏误提供更好的分析范式。媒体偏误治理的关键是设计合理的媒体信息供给及处理的匹配关系,使理性读者可以通过更新信息在有偏报道中不断接近真相。     

国内外广告产业统计范围的比较

广告产业统计为广告产业发展的基础性研究课题,同时是政府进行广告产业的财政统计的依据与标准以及实现国际相同产业发展对照的基本标准.我国现行的广告产业统计标准多年来未经调整修正,不能真实反映产业发展实际.文章通过综述国内外相关学术研究,并结合我国现行的《广告业统计报表制度(2012)》、《国民经济行业分类(GB/T4754-2011)》、联合国颁布的《所有经济活动之国际标准行业分类(修订4版)》与《北美产业分类体系(2012)》当中广告产业的统计分类与统计范围,总结我国现行的广告产业统计分类标准存在的主要问题,即产业界定、定位与广告产业现实发展偏离;产业分类方式滞后;产业统计范围狭窄且有重合之处.     

Who is Jobless? A Comparison of Joblessness in Rural and Urban Areas in China

Since market‐oriented economic reform was launched in China in the 1980s, unemployment has been recognized by the government. This paper focuses on the differences in joblessness in rural and urban areas between rural migrant workers, peasants, and urban citizens. The results indicate that people in rural areas frequently lose their jobs, which differs from the traditional perception. There is a significantly lower jobless rate in urban areas. In contrast to the results of previous studies, the employment situation of rural migrant workers is closer to urban citizens rather than peasants. Logistic regression results show that the elderly, women, and less educated citizens have a higher likelihood of joblessness, both in urban and rural areas. Minorities have a lower likelihood of joblessness in rural areas and a higher likelihood in urban areas. Chinese Communist Party members and people without dependent children have a lower likelihood of joblessness in urban areas.     

Who needs Cantonese,who speaks? Whispers across mountains,delta, and waterfronts

This essay digs into the ‘dirtiness’ of cultural studies to prioritize praxis, or as the way my mountain folks collect summer lotus: putting our feet in the muddy water, and finding ways to get the stems underneath the smooth leaves. Using Cantoneseness as a case to locate such ‘dirtiness’, I draw on personal/familial histories as well as research projects to tell how conjunctures of Cantoneseness are politically and unevenly lived. This complex journey travels roughly from my childhood in the Yuebei mountains of northern Guangdong through my teenage and early adult years in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) to my current location as a temporary resident in the East Pacific port of Vancouver. I selectively emphasize and speak on three different locations: first, the rural inland Cantonese location of Yuebei mountains – the borderland and hinterland experiences of my family and myself living what the mountains would offer and how these have changed; second, the industrial superior Cantonese location of PRD in Shenzhen and Guangzhou – my personal experiences and identities as a migrant youth, combined with a case study including interviews with migrant peasant-workers and their children; and third, the western transnational Cantonese location of East Pacific waterfronts in Vancouver and Richmond – my personal engagement with social activism as an ethnicized, international student, combined with a narrative study including interviews with social activists with different Cantoneseness and migration routes. While this mix of whispers speaks in its own way towards using cultural studies with more seriously (global) space-sensitive and (social justice) praxis-sensitive approaches, the primary focus is more modestly on my autobiographical accounts and research efforts as a specific case: to show some strategic locations of ‘Cantonescape’ on the one hand, and to invite wider conversations around cultural-spatial politics on the other.     

China’s modern image – contemporary Chinese art

Abstract

As a worldwide cultural phenomenon, contemporary art in China has not only been used as a diplomatic language but also a reflection of contemporary Chinese culture. Contemporary Chinese art, as an emerging field to display China’s global role, provides an important perspective to study China’s self-position in global relations, China’s diplomacy in exercising its soft power, contemporary Chinese culture, and the reinvention of China’s cultural/national identity in post-Mao China. Using the 2000 Shanghai Biennale and the Chinese pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale as case studies, this article investigates how the fluid construct of Chineseness is successfully promoted and demonstrated through the government’s support of contemporary Chinese art.

Unified Inference for Sparse and Dense Longitudinal Data in Time‐varying Coefficient Models

Time‐varying coefficient models are widely used in longitudinal data analysis. These models allow the effects of predictors on response to vary over time. In this article, we consider a mixed‐effects time‐varying coefficient model to account for the within subject correlation for longitudinal data. We show that when kernel smoothing is used to estimate the smooth functions in time‐varying coefficient models for sparse or dense longitudinal data, the asymptotic results of these two situations are essentially different. Therefore, a subjective choice between the sparse and dense cases might lead to erroneous conclusions for statistical inference. In order to solve this problem, we establish a unified self‐normalized central limit theorem, based on which a unified inference is proposed without deciding whether the data are sparse or dense. The effectiveness of the proposed unified inference is demonstrated through a simulation study and an analysis of Baltimore MACS data.
