“Spilling the tea” on generation Z social media use and body image

Over ninety percent of American teens and the majority of children have smartphones. As access to social media increases so does the growing concern for the psychological well-being of today's youth. The current cross-sectional study examined the media use, appearance pressure, and body image of 150 Midwestern American Generation Z (born in 1997–2012) youth. This study assessed media use by child-report, parent-report, and by gathering data directly from the child's smartphone. Results demonstrated that media use was higher in teens than children, but did not suggest strong gender differences. The data also showed the inconsistencies present in media use reporting, with parents overestimating the amount of time their children spend on phones. Media use was found to be unrelated to body image. Media pressure and social media integration into participants’ social routines were intercorrelated and higher in the older age groups than the younger ones. Media pressure and media use was found to be less gendered than expected, but greatly shifted with age. Time spent on social media may be less influential on body image than the content of the media being consumed.     

意象的产生及其语义转换

意象是中国首创的一个审美范畴 ,也是中国古代文艺理论固有的概念。意象一词产生于先秦两汉 ,从“象”到“意象” ,主要是在哲学范畴内的讨论 ;刘勰的《文心雕龙》将“意象”引入文学范畴 ,主要是指文学构思中诗人主观情感与客观对象交融后 ,产生于作者脑海中的艺术形象 ;大约从明代开始 ,对“意象”的阐述逐渐接近现代含义 ,即指通过作者审美思维创造出来的 ,融会了主体意趣的艺术形象     

章学诚的语言哲学观

清代考据学的基本信念是“道在六经”,方法则为“由训诂以通义理”,即以语言文字的释义以通达“六经之道”。章学诚与清代考据学的分歧主要是在语言观方面,一方面章学诚认为,“言与意”有时而背离,“通其辞”之外还必须“通作者之心志”;另一方面,章学诚认为六经语言的本性是象征性的,《易》之象和《诗》之比、兴“兼通六艺”,因此当“因象而求道”而非“因言而求道”。章学诚的语言观与历史上的道家、禅宗、心学的语言现存在着一定的思想脉络关系。

US government efforts to repair its image after the 2008 financial crisis

Globalization has intensified the interaction and interdependency among countries. The need to maintain good reputation and establish good relationships should dominate public diplomacy efforts (Hiebert, 2005). Using the US financial crisis 2008 as a case study, this study examines how the world's only superpower repaired its image when it was accused of triggering the financial meltdown that impacted the world economy. Few studies have examined repair strategies by nations. The need to undertake more empirical research to understand how the image-rebuilding rhetoric can aid diplomatic efforts remains relevant today.     

Hooray for Hollywood? The 2011 Golden Globes and Ricky Gervais’ image repair strategies

British comedian Ricky Gervais created a media stir as host of the 2011 Golden Globes Awards ceremony by using what many celebrities in attendance and people in the television audience saw as harsh, mean-spirited jokes about the awards, guests, and nominees. Four days after the show, Gervais tried to respond to the backlash by appearing on Piers Morgan Tonight to defend his performance and to repair his image. Gervais employed a variety of image repair strategies: denial, evasion of responsibility, minimization, and mortification. He focused most attention on transcendence, inviting his audience to view the awards show and his performance as an artistic pursuit of truth and self-discovery. Ultimately, Gervais failed to adapt to his audience and failed to repair his image.
