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.     

“杨家将”创作文献接受史新论

Assessment on the Quality of Democracy:the State and Problems

1.Comprehension of the quality of democracy The study of democratic quality stems from transitology or consolidology of democracy,which attempts to make well-bounded division between the procedure and outcome of democratization.Larry Diamond and Michael Coppedge,for instance,have understand the quality of democracy as a regime' s degree of democratization after its political transition,namely,the degree of the fulfillment of a polyarchy' s capabilities.Another definition defined by Arend Lijphart,as quoted,"the quality of democracy refers to the degree which a system meets such democratic norms as representativeness,accountability,equity,participation." in which two domains are highlighted:principles of democracy,and the degree for regimes to meet them.     

经济增长方式转换的制度条件

资源约束是计划经济的典型特征,需求约束则是市场经济的典型特征.我国市场化改革已有20多年,市场机制在资源配置中仍然不能有效发挥基础作用,根源在于政府这只"看得见的手"摁住了"看不见的手",政府的行为扭曲了市场机制,妨碍了经济资源的有效配置.这种体制安排的不合理,就成为经济增长方式转换的最大障碍.     

民营经济发展与劳资关系调整

随着民营经济发展,劳资矛盾日益凸现,在浙江表现得尤为明显.本文描述了劳资关系的基本态势,阐述了劳资纠纷的若干特点,分析了劳资冲突产生的内在机理.认为在经济转型时期,民营企业的劳资关系,与其说是"强资本、弱劳动",不如说是"相对的弱资本与绝对的弱劳动".当前,既要促进民营经济的发展,又要维护劳动者的正当权益,关键在于对物质资本产权和人力资本产权作出合理界定,实行同等保护,从而为劳资和谐,互利双赢创造制度条件.在此基础上,文中提出了调整劳资关系的若干对策建议.     

产品代言人侵权责任研究

就侵权法的理论而言,运用主客观相结合的关联共同理论,可认定在某些情形下产品代言人与制造商构成共同侵权,承担连带责任.而相对于理论上侵权责任的认定,更为重要也更为困难的问题在于产品代言人的侵权责任如何在司法实践中得以落实.对此,构建严格的产品代言人侵权责任意义重大.     

略论宋代“诗史”说的阐释学本质

杜甫反映社会现实的诗歌在唐代被称为"诗史".宋人接受"诗史"说并加以深化,主要从诗歌的历史属性与政治属性两方面进行了阐释,且付诸于文学研究与创作中,使"诗史"概念的内涵扩大与转型,对后世产生了较大的影响.     

基于组合评价的中国区域协调发展水平研究

伴随我国改革开放30年经济高速增长,区域协调水平也在不断变化,本文从经济、城乡、社会、环境与协调能力五个方面入手,采用主成分分析与层次分析两种方法构成的组合评价法对2000年与2007年中国区域协调水平进行评价,发现区域协调水平呈现出"东强、中弱、西更弱"的格局,但是这一格局随着区域政策的实施与细化呈现一定的变化,证明了坚持不懈的实施区域协调发展战略的意义。     

农业女性化视野下农村妇女发展的困境与政策调适——基于阿玛蒂亚·森自由发展观的分析

新世纪以来,农村社会变迁进程中农业生产主体女性化特征表现明显。农业女性化背景下,农村妇女发展因遇到新问题而陷入困境。阿玛蒂亚.森的自由发展理论为分析农村妇女发展问题提供了全新视角,依据该理论,农村妇女发展的困境本质上是可行能力贫困,解决农村妇女发展问题的关键是提升其可行能力。农村妇女在获取资源与机会方面的障碍,实质上是经济条件、社会机会、防护性保障等工具性自由的缺失或削弱。从这些方面出发,改善农村妇女的可行能力,是公共决策恰当回应农村妇女发展问题并实施政策调适的可行路径。     

大学教师职业发展的困境与路径

作为承担大学教学与科研职能的教师,要具有开展创造性学术活动的学术水平,具有把学术成果转化为教学内容并有效开展有效性教学活动的教学水平,其职业发展理应包括教学发展与学术发展两个方面.然而,中国大学教师的学术发展处于自由自发状态,教学发展虽然有制度保障,但实际效果不尽如人意,职业发展陷入困境.大学教师职业发展规划作为解除职业发展困境的有效路径,既可以使学校发展与教师发展目标协调一致,又可以使教师教学发展与学术发展融为一体,是实现学校与教师共同发展的客观需要,也是教师实现生命价值的最佳选择.
