Browsing the culture: membership and intertextuality at a mormon bookstore

This paper argues that organizational and local host cultures are related through the intertextual performance of membership. It proceeds by claiming that organizations may be usefully read as intertexts, and that the relationship between organizations and their environments is enacted by speakers as they negotiate their multiple identities in talk. These claims are then used to analyze the intertextual performance of membership at a Salt Lake City, Utah bookstore owned by the Mormon church. The analysis demonstrates how: (1) organizational routines surrounding the interpretation of product serve as performances of host-cultural membership; (2) communication among and between store employees and customers clarifies types of host-cultural identity; and (3) the management of controversial texts enacts the organizational environment. The analysis is intended to mark an intersection between organizational and cultural studies by demonstrating how organizations potentially function as sites for the reproduction of interpretive communities, conducted through the use of cultural texts.

An Evaluation of Instruction in Visual Imagining on the Written Spelling Performance of Adolescents with Learning Disabilities

Recent research has evaluated the utility of teaching potentially covert strategies to mediate overt performance. As an extension of this developing literature, the current study used a multiple-probe design to evaluate the effects of instructing in a visual imagining strategy on correct written spelling responses with three adolescents with various learning disabilities. After the participants were presented with the textual target stimuli, they were instructed to imagine the word in their head before writing it down. All three participants demonstrated improvements in spelling after this instruction, but two of them required additional consequences to meet the mastery criterion.     

视觉艺术与日常生活的审美化

当代中国艺术已经发生了从精英艺术到大众艺术的全方位转型,视觉上的"好看"已经成为渗入人们日常生活中的意识形态了。这一变化广泛而复杂。传统意义上的精神活动被物质化的内核所操控,传统意义上的精神和物质的二元划分不再具有现实意义。被物质化的艺术、审美活动及其表现形态进一步改造、建构着当代中国人的精神生活,对整个社会的文化心理、审美情趣以及价值取向产生着重要影响。视觉艺术及其在日常生活中的审美化构成了当代中国社会文化变迁和人们精神生活变化的重要表征。

An exploration of the effects of victim visuals on perceptions and reactions to crisis events

How news media and organizations use visual images in reports of crisis events remains relatively unexplored in spite of possible effects on perceptions of crisis responsibility and reputation.

西非多妻制家庭的众妻及其隐居生活——影片《酋长的第五位新娘》的影视人类学观察

一夫多妻或一妻多夫现象的产生是历史、经济和文化多种条件作用的结果,不能用先进-愚昧、我族-他族的两分法做简单化分析。从历史、文化传统、宗教、生计、战争和社会变迁的多向度视角解释西非多妻制及其诸妻的隐居、贸易和他们的婚姻关系,可能更有助于理解多妻制产生的真正原因。这对中国传统社会的一妻多妾的婚姻模式的研究也提供了可资借鉴的方法。人类学影视片最大的优势是具有直观的现实感,而文化撰写的优势在于它“深描”影视片无法涵盖的“他者”文化,使得研究更具文化的纵深感和深邃的历史感。
