Enduring not enjoying? Emotional responses to studying abroad among Danish and Chinese students

ABSTRACT

Students’ emotions during stays abroad have mainly been treated as ”culture shock”, where difficulties are interpreted as universal ”stages” towards ”adaptation”. This paper explores how students from different cultural and educational traditions experience studying abroad differently. The study presents a qualitative study of 18 Danish and Chinese students in Chinese and Danish universities and situates itself within the literature on culture shock, student emotions and study-abroad experiences. The study exposes the students’ complex emotions throughout their studies abroad and explains how these emotions relate to processes of self-formation, professional and academic development, increase or decrease in freedom, and student agency.     

网络文化安全治理的国际经验探析

网络文化安全治理是以网络文化安全作为治理的对象。西方国家网络文化安全治理战略建立在“规则取向”的国际战略文化理念基础之上,同时国家至上原则在网络空间治理中表现为积极倡导“网络主权”。我国网络文化安全治理过程应透明、民主,治理目标应致力于追求多元文化的和谐共存发展,以此回应美国等西方国家提出的“互联网自由”理念,强化国家主权在网络时代的国际地位。我国要想在全球网络文化安全治理领域成为积极而有影响力的行为体,既需要借鉴国际经验,更重要的是立足于本国的实践与探索。

Fostering social capital in an international multi-stakeholder issue network

Scholars have theorized that public relations contributes to societies and communities by bringing attention to pressing public issues and fostering social capital in civil society networks. However, the extant research has studied civil society networks of NGOs, donors, and the media in transitional countries. This study extends the public relations model of civil society in two ways. First, it broadens the scope to an international context. Second, it draws from the multi-stakeholder issue network perspective to conceptualize a civil society network as a space where stakeholders of an issue mix their interests as they collectively address a pressing public issue. The literature on international and multi-stakeholder networks suggest that the international scope and the mixing of interests across sectors may restrict the production of social capital. The results from the social network analysis suggests that the mixing of interests across sectoral and geopolitical boundaries did not restrict the production of social capital. Rather, the patterns of the relationships among those on the core and those on the periphery of the network restricted the production of social capital. Such finding demonstrates how public relations’ functions like relationship building can have profound influences on social capital and civil society networks. The implications for public relations theorizing and research are discussed.     

Exploring the intersection of transnationalism and critical race theory: a critical race analysis of international student experiences in the United States

International student mobility to the United States (US) has increased over the past two decades. Despite the increase in numbers, international students may experience racism, nativism, and other forms of discrimination within the US context. Much of the existing literature focus on how international students can assimilate and cope with these issues rather than interrogating the systems of oppression that create negative student experiences. Thus, we utilized critical race theory (CRT) as a framework for interrogating how international student experiences are portrayed in current literature. Although CRT is grounded in US-based legal theory, we argue that CRT must move beyond the rigid confinement within US borders and expand to consider how transnationalism and global exchange contributes to the fluidity and applicability of this theory. We also provide recommendations for critical race praxis, with an emphasis on implications for practice, theory, and future research.     

续集电影的片名策略及其市场效应研究

以续集电影为研究情境,探讨了电影制作经营方如何通过科学的电影续集片名策略,来提升观众的观影意愿和电影的市场表现.通过两个消费者实验和美国电影市场1960年～2017年的电影数据,研究发现,续集电影采用文字片名策略(vs.数字片名策略)会促使消费者有更高的观影意愿,想象可达性发挥中介作用.但是这一关系受到电影题材的调节,前瞻性题材的续集电影使用文字片名策略会产生更高的观影意愿,而回溯性题材的续集电影使用数字片名策略会产生更高的观影意愿.对影视产业如何采取不同的续集影视片名策略,从而打造影视知名品牌提供了战略启示;为更广泛的文化产业的品牌营销也具有战略借鉴意义.
