大时代中的个人写作——兼论萧红的文学思想和作品分期

萧红是20世纪30年代初走上文学道路的,1935年随着《生死场》的发表而蜚声上海文坛。之后萧红的名字与抗战紧紧联系在一起。前期代表作《生死场》既给萧红带来了声名,又客观上局限了萧红的整体评价。创作于旅日时期的《牛车上》《家族以外的人》等作品标示出萧红创作的转型,后期萧红的创作和作品既与时代紧密相连又远未局限于抗战,在战争的大背景下呈现出日益鲜明的萧红风格。重视后期萧红的作品和风格,结合时代背景分析后期作品的艺术特色,对于从整体上把握萧红创作和评价至关重要。

Parenting Stress and Perceived Family Functioning of Chinese Parents in Hong Kong: Implications for Social Work Practice

This article reports the results of a telephone survey (n = 1002) conducted in November 2008, which aimed to identify parenting stress and perceived family functioning of Chinese parents in Hong Kong; to explore the effects of the parents’ socio‐demographic characteristics (gender, family income, education and family structure) on the aforementioned stress and functioning variables; and to examine the interrelationship among these characteristics and the two variables in question. Results showed that the reported parenting stress was at average level, while the perceived family functioning was slightly below average. The results also indicated that the parenting stress of mothers, single parents, the low‐income and the less‐educated was higher than that of fathers, parents of nuclear and extended families, the high‐income and the better‐educated. Socio‐demographic characteristics except the parent’s gender had similar effects on perceived family functioning. Higher parenting stress was associated with lower family functioning, and explained a larger variance in the perceived family functioning than the socio‐demographic characteristics taken alone. The results of the study have provided empirical support regarding the interrelationships among the vulnerable groups in society, parenting stress and perceived family functioning. Implications of the study for social work practice are discussed.     

Facilitating Factors for Nonresident Parents' Financial Provisions for Children in Hong Kong

This study examines the facilitating factors for nonresident parents' financial provisions for children among the Chinese in Hong Kong. It found that financial provisions from nonresident parents are subject to economic and ideological as well as relational factors. The results call for the enhancement of active parenting of nonresident parents in a context of cooperative and supportive parental relationship, as well as for adequate employment support to poor nonresident parents. Findings of the study support the recent law reform on creating a less adversarial divorce system that is more conducive to a culture of settlement and cooperation, and on a shifted emphasis from parental rights to both rights and responsibilities of divorced parents.     

Housing policy and asset building: exploring the role of home ownership in East Asian social policy

Western societies promote home ownership in the belief that it provides a means to build up individual welfare and security, potentially offsetting the inadequacy of social security to meet needs in retirement. Some East Asian economies have long focused on advancing ‘asset building’ through housing policy. These efforts have two purposes: to use housing investment to drive economic development and to build family assets throughout life as a component of income protection for old age. These purposes work well in some countries but not as well in others. In policy terms, the common element among them is that governments promote home ownership as a component of social policy or as a complement to mainstream welfare. This article examines how home ownership fares as a form of asset-based welfare in selected East Asian countries (Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan) and considers the implications for understanding the role of institutions in development.     

姜敬爱与萧红小说的性别悲剧与性别意识

姜敬爱与萧红从无名的悲哀、无言的沉默与自语、家庭的女奴、生育与泄欲的工具等方面真实地书写了性别悲剧。但是，姜敬爱小说的性别意识往往因受到阶级意识和民族意识的催动而产生，萧红小说则是多从社会文化和性别压迫的视角进行反思和评说，从而表达鲜明而强烈的性别意识。这可从两位作家对传统文化的秉守与反叛、恋爱与婚姻的两难处境透视其成因。     

保障房建设完成情况的衡量指标研究

内地公共住房没有一套完整长期持续的计划,衡量一个地区保障性住房的建设成绩是是否按质按量按时完成政府分配的保障性住房任务,即以计划建设量与开工量来衡量,该种方式在当下环境中是不科学的,建立合理的衡量指标问题日益迫切。从香港公屋的"轮候配屋制"入手,探讨衡量保障房建设情况的合理方法,得出应用平均轮候时间衡量地区保障房落实情况的结论。     

Questioning diaspora: mobility,mutation, and historiography of the Shaw Brothers film studio

This piece reviews the historical accounts of Shaw Brothers Studio, targeting its presentation as a diaspora company whose commercialism was enhanced by political pragmatism, frugality, and agility. The studio's activities were constrained by twentieth-century geopolitics, but its behavior was also shaped by its show business competitors, new technologies, and emergent popular forms. Existing historical accounts tend to overstate the studio's diasporic qualities, especially compared to other firms. This essay argues that there are limits to the diaspora model and proposes a more complex understanding of the firm. Alternative factors are considered in the company's colonial stratagems, in both its earlier and later phases, and in its dealings with Hong Kong's left-wing studios and subsequent business in Taiwan. Finally, Shaw Brothers Studio's appropriation of Japanese and other Asian talent is significant to the diaspora model of Shaw Brothers Studio.
