社会建构论视角下的现代城市社区意识

社区意识的内涵与社会建构论的本质意涵具有内在一致性,二者具有方法上的互补性和价值追求上的一致性．社会建构论为目前处于缺失状态下的社区意识的培育提供了一个极佳的分析视角。认为社区设施与活动、社区社会组织与社会资本及社区整合的社会建构是培育社区意识的有效路径。     

群体活动与社会舆论之互动——以1905年前后的社会思潮为背景

清末两大社会群体--清朝统治集团和知识分子在1905年前后复杂的社会思潮背景中,分别在自身力所能及的范围内展开活动,力图制造、控制社会舆论.而从他们的活动与社会舆论的互动关系中,又可观察到当时社会思潮隐与显的不同面相,从而更为深入地理解政治和思想的交织与缠绕.     

The Pinochet case: cosmopolitanism and intermestic human rights

This article explores the Pinochet case, widely heralded as a landmark, as a case of 'intermestic' human rights that raises difficult normative and empirical questions concerning cosmopolitan justice. The article is a contribution to the sociology of human rights from the perspective of methodological cosmopolitanism, developing conceptual tools and methods to study how cosmopolitanizing state institutions and cultural norms are inter-related. The argument is made that in order to understand issues of cosmopolitan justice, sociologists must give more consideration to political culture.     

论对社区矫正对象的权利保障及其立法贯彻

社区矫正对象与监狱服刑人员一样,属于“犯罪(受刑)人”群体。当前的社区矫正试点工作,必须突出对矫正对象权利的保障。鉴于社区矫正立法的阙如,在中国未来的社区矫正法中,应明确肯认宪法的“国家尊重和保障人权”原则,并在规定社区矫正实施机构的管理职权和社区矫正对象的义务与权利等方面,要创设人道、科学、系统化的制度来保障社区矫正对象的法定权利。这既是落实宪法和有关国际人权规约的立法要求,也是革新社区矫正制度的根本价值所系。     

构建和谐社区的切入途径

目前社区建设存在着理论研究落后、行政化倾向、专业人员缺乏、资金投入不足等同题,加强理论研究、积极进行社区管理体制改革、培养专业人员等是当前社区建设的切入途径。

论我国城市社区的生态文化建设

城市社区生态文化建设是一个全新的事物,它是社会主义精神文明建设和社会主义先进文化建设的重要内容。然而,目前我国城市社区的生态文化建设存在着许多问题,跟不上时代发展的步伐。因此,探讨解决我国城市社区生态文化建设的有效途径,对于促进我国社会主义和谐社会和城市社区的可持续发展,都具有重要的时代价值和理论意义。     

论“国际社会”的意识形态性——兼论我国国际话语权的提升

作为国际政治领域的重要概念,“国际社会”具有两面性。从表面上看,“国际社会”是国际行为体之间开展合作的场域,应建构和维护国际秩序的公平正义,因而在国际交往中不应以意识形态为标准和以意识形态划线;从本质上看,“国际社会”是国际行为体开展国家利益和意识形态博弈的重要场域,具有强烈的意识形态性。“国际社会”意识形态性的关键是国际话语权,其实质是国家(或国际社会成员)的国际利益。从意识形态的角度考察“国际社会”,有利于看清“国际社会”的本质,这对于深入理解国际热点问题和国际舆论的实质,特别是对于我国国际话语权的建设与提升,具有重要意义。     

Racial/Ethnic Minority Community College Students' Critical Consciousness and Social Cognitive Career Outcomes

A need exists to better understand how racial/ethnic minority students' critical consciousness development in response to marginalization may be involved in their educational and career development. We therefore examined the link between critical consciousness development and career decision self-efficacy and career outcome expectations among racial/ethnic minority community college students. Following social cognitive career theory's conceptual pillars, we developed a testable model integrating critical consciousness and social cognitive variables. This model was tested with 135 racially and ethnically diverse community college students. Data analysis included path analyses and tests of model fit using structural equation modeling. Results suggested that (a) higher critical agency is linked to higher career decision self-efficacy and outcome expectations and (b) critical action and reflection have a bidirectional link and predict higher critical agency. Implications for research and practice aiming to close educational and career gaps among racial/ethnic minorities are discussed.     

“I Really Belong Here”: Civic Capacity-Building among Returning Citizens

This article focuses on unlikely movement actors whose civic engagement has been understudied: people with criminal records (“returning citizens”). We present findings from 18 months of ethnographic research with members (leaders) of Fighting to Overcome Records and Create Equality (FORCE), a civic group led by returning citizens. FORCE leaders received institutional support from Community Renewal Society (CRS), a larger faith and community-based organization, to lead a rights reform movement in Chicago. Findings suggest that FORCE leaders constructed notions of kinship, recognition, and power through civic capacity-building efforts—and that social belonging was core to such capacity-building efforts. While bonding social belonging occurred as FORCE leaders formed kinship with people facing similar social and economic marginality, bridging social belonging emerged as leaders felt recognized by CRS staff organizers, affiliates, and elected officials. Bonding and bridging social belonging enabled FORCE leaders, who faced constant social exclusion in society, to experience much needed kinship, recognition, and power. Future studies should continue to uncover how local capacity-building processes have life-changing relational effects on movement participants from socially and economically marginalized groups.
