本文根据帕累托提出的广义"精英"定义,将南疆基层社会的精英分子分为政治精英、道德精英和经济精英三种类型,并使用实地调查得到的资料和案例分析了这三种精英在当地实际社会运行过程中的互动方式,同时探讨了国家政权、乡村干部和传统宗教人士在基层社区民众生活中各自发挥的作用。     

Ordering competition: the interactional accomplishment of the sale of art and antiques at auction

Auctions provide an institutional solution to a social problem; they enable the legitimate pricing and exchange of goods where those goods are of uncertain value. In turn, auctions raise a number of social and organizational issues that are resolved within the interaction that arise in sales by auction. In this paper, we examine sales of fine art, antiques and objets d'art and explore the ways in which auctioneers mediate competition between buyers and establish a value for goods. In particular, we explore how bids are elicited, co-ordinated and revealed so as to rapidly escalate the price of goods in a transparent manner that enables the legitimate valuation and exchange of goods. In directing attention towards the significance of the social interaction, including talk, visual and material conduct, the paper contributes to the growing corpus of ethnographic studies of markets. It suggests that to understand the operation of markets and their outcomes, and to unpack issues of agency, trust and practice, we need to place the 'interaction order' at the heart of analytic agenda.     

Graphical representation of survival curves in the presence of time-dependent categorical covariates with application to liver transplantation

Graphical representation of survival curves is often used to illustrate associations between exposures and time-to-event outcomes. However, when exposures are time-dependent, calculation of survival probabilities is not straightforward. Our aim was to develop a method to estimate time-dependent survival probabilities and represent them graphically. Cox models with time-dependent indicators to represent state changes were fitted, and survival probabilities were plotted using pre-specified times of state changes. Time-varying hazard ratios for the state change were also explored. The method was applied to data from the Adult-to-Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation Cohort Study (A2ALL). Survival curves showing a ‘split’ at a pre-specified time t allow for the qualitative comparison of survival probabilities between patients with similar baseline covariates who do and do not experience a state change at time t. Time since state change interactions can be visually represented to reflect changing hazard ratios over time. A2ALL study results showed differences in survival probabilities among those who did not receive a transplant, received a living donor transplant, and received a deceased donor transplant. These graphical representations of survival curves with time-dependent indicators improve upon previous methods and allow for clinically meaningful interpretation.     

OLS and IV estimation of regression models including endogenous interaction terms

We analyze a class of linear regression models including interactions of endogenous regressors and exogenous covariates. We show how to generate instrumental variables using the nonlinear functional form of the structural equation when traditional excluded instruments are unknown. We propose to use these instruments with identification robust IV inference. We furthermore show that, whenever functional form identification is not valid, the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator of the coefficient of the interaction term is consistent and standard OLS inference applies. Using our alternative empirical methods we confirm recent empirical findings on the nonlinear causal relation between financial development and economic growth.     

Virgins,Terrorists, and Ten Children: Immigrants' Humorous Play with Ethnic Stereotypes in Bonding with Danes in the Workplace

Drawing on fieldwork in a multi‐ethnic workplace (an industrial kitchen in Denmark), this article explores immigrants' self‐directed ethnic humor in collegial relationships with Danes as it spontaneously develops and plays out in everyday work settings. Approaching ethnic humor from a symbolic interactionist perspective rather than adopting the dominant conflict approach, this article emphasizes the bonding functions of ethnic humor. The article argues that immigrants' engagement in playful behavior with ethnic stereotypes in interactions with Danes is a form of “impression management” in which they defuse ethnic stereotypes and dissociate themselves from them by building joking relationships in the workplace with Danes.

法兰克福学派社会批判理论的范式转变——从传统社会批判理论到交往行为理论

随着时代的变化、研究主题的转换,作为西方马克思主义典型代表的法兰克福学派的社会批判理论的理论形态也经历了异化理论、物化理论到技术理性批判理论等诸形态的演进.但从法兰克福学派第二代主要代表人物哈贝马斯开始,这种一以贯之的"意识哲学"基础的理论演进却发生了转向.哈贝马斯在克服传统社会批判理论不足与"重建历史唯物主义"时创建了交往行为理论.交往行为理论的创立是法兰克福学派社会批判理论的一次范式转变,对西方马克思主义的发展具有重要的理论价值和启示.     

学术期刊微博应用现状分析和完善路径——以12个学术期刊官方认证微博为例

本文通过对国内12 个学术期刊认证微博进行调查分析,发现目前微博在我国学术期刊领域已得到了一定程度的应用,但我国学术期刊微博的总体影响力不高,微博信息孤岛现象较为严重,学术期刊的微博管理能力也有待进一步提升.今后应积极通过提升微博管理能力,强化微博内容管理,合理应用微博语言与不断拓展网络关系等途径,实现我国学术期刊管理信息化水平的不断提升.

从符号学视角看博客情境下的符号互动

博客的出现,给人们提供了表达自我的一个虚拟的网络情境。语言文字是人们表达自我的基本工具,也是人们在交流中使用的基本符号。以符号学作为视角来考察博客,这个交流情境其实是"姿态"缺失的符号的集合体。其中,语言文字是最基本的符号,它在博客中的使用有自身的特性。通过语言文字,人们能够实现表达"自我"的目的。博客最显著的特性是互动性。这种互动,是通过语言文字来实现的,同时,语言文字互动也完成了人的"自我"的实现。
