亡宋流人家铉翁的家国情怀

宋元易代之际,家铉翁作为祈请使,被元朝羁縻北方十九年,南归时已年逾八十。今存其创作几乎全作于羁北期间,以抒发故乡之思、故国之念和坚守之志而深切动人,从中体现出深厚的家国情怀。其诗文多以乡国之思蕴涵黍离之悲,以前朝遗民流寓之身,亡国之恨不便于直接表达之故也。     

Quality of work and job satisfaction: comparing female part-time work in four European countries

Adding to the debate on the integrative or marginalizing nature of female part-time work, this article provides a comparative analysis of the implications of female part-time work for different intrinsic job quality dimensions and job satisfaction. Drawing on national micro-data from Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden, our multivariate analyses show cross-national similarities in terms of lower job learning opportunities for female part-timers. We found a significantly higher incidence of repetitiveness only among Swedish female part-timers and lower degrees of task discretion among British, Dutch, and Swedish women working part-time hours. Female part-timers were either equally satisfied with their work as female full-timers or even more satisfied. This held true also after accounting for the lower intrinsic job quality of part-time work. While women working part-time hours were as affected by their job quality characteristics as were full-timers, we conclude that the shorter hours of work per se provide an important additional source of job satisfaction.     

The political economy of targeting – a critical review

The political economy models of targeting postulate that going universal is a win‐win situation, for the poor and the middle class, as well as those who are in power. This article critically discusses the assumptions behind the political economy arguments of targeting and tests whether a universal mechanism is bound to politically excel in a low‐income country context. On the basis of attitudinal surveys with the urban, rural and student population in Zambia, we do not find any support for the predictions of the political economy models. We discuss the assumptions of the political economy models in the light of these findings and consider potentially decisive parameters that the models currently do not incorporate.

The other Chinese: identity work and self-orientalization of Chinese host country nationals in multinational corporations

ABSTRACT

This paper draws on an in-depth case study of narrative identity work to explore heuristically the role of host country nationals in the reproduction of orientalist discourses in multinational corporations (MNCs). Based on this analysis, it presents an identity strategy termed the other Chinese. The other Chinese claims to be in-between the West, that is constructed as superior modern and rational, and China, that is constructed as backwards and chaotic. This in-betweenness allows the other Chinese to take the role of a mediator between locals and expatriates, and at the same time claim superiority towards normal Chinese. Thus, this identity construction is a creative act of hybridization and localization, but it is not subversive to existing power structures in the MNCs. However, as we show, the construction of the other Chinese is not inextricably bound to the field of the MNCs, but is based on a hybrid and creative entanglement of various sources such as class positions and public discourse in China, in which the MNCs only occupy an insignificant role. It is, therefore, to be understood as an aspect of identity construction in China relevant for MNC identity, rather than an aspect of the transnational field of the MNCs.     

从劳资关系不对称谈农民工维权艰辛的原因

在中国,外来工的劳动权利保护问题是在城乡二元结构的背景下,随着城市化进程中逐渐凸显出来的。根据社会学家布劳的社会交换理论,私营企业雇主和农民工之间的关系可以看成是一种社会交换关系,在这种社会交换关系中雇主和农民工之间存在着不对称的相互依赖关系。造成这种不对称相互依赖关系的原因有生产资料、社会资本占有的悬殊,信息占有的不对称,组织化程度的不对称,监控机制的不对称等,正是这种不对称的相互依赖关系使农民工的劳动权益得不到切实有效的保障。
