Raymond Williams and sociology

The purpose of this article is to recover Williams as a major theoretical inspiration for the social sciences, specifically, as the inaugurator of what might be regarded as a research paradigm, cultural materialism. In the first section, Williams's encounter with the discipline of sociology is traced and distinguished as a critical alternative to the presently ascendant – at least in the USA – neo‐Durkeimian school of ‘cultural sociology’. In the second section, his cultural‐materialist programme is proposed as a powerful analytical framework for the study of culture and society today. In the final section, a key concept of Williams's cultural materialism, mobile privatization, is selected illustratively and proposed as a powerful analytical tool for studying the production and technological mediation of typical modes of communicative sociality in the early twenty‐first century.     

Collective Bargaining and the Gender Pay Gap in the Printing Industry

This paper considers the effect of collective bargaining on the gender pay gap in the printing industry. This sector was subject to multi‐employer bargaining for around 90 years, until 2010. The article analyses gendered collective bargaining processes through the mechanism of symbolic power, that is, the power of interpretation and definition, and utilizes Walton and McKersie's seminal work on bargaining behaviour to understand the processes that have prevented the closing of the pay gap. It finds that symbolic power operates within the sub‐processes of attitudinal structuring and intra‐organizational bargaining to de‐legitimize women's role in equal pay bargaining, alongside distributive bargaining tactics that preclude equal pay bargaining, thereby creating the impression that women are irrelevant to bargaining processes and ensuring relative invisibility for issues of importance to equality bargaining.     

Special education disproportionality in the United States,Germany, Kenya,and India

Disproportionality in special education includes the underrepresentation and overrepresentation of children by gender, economic status, race, ethnicity, language, and culture. This article reviews literature on disproportionality in the United States, Germany, Kenya, and India. Societal views of disability, classism, racism, and inequitable assessment are among the factors that contribute to disproportionality. Preventative medicine, equitable access to resources, ethical and effective assessment procedures, and educational practices that are gender equitable and culturally responsive may reduce the problem of disproportionality.

论语言文学类非物质文化遗产及其保护利用——以河南省为例

语言文学类非物质文化遗产即濒危语言（或方言）和以语言（或方言）为媒介的口头表达类民间文学与传统戏曲、语言文字习俗等。把它们归为一类有其理论依据和必要性,它们也拥有共同特点。申报地濒危语言（或方言）载体的非遗保护应以当地语言（或方言）为主线,以记录、整理、编译、展演为形式,与现代电子科技和创意相结合,进行生产性、产业化保护。创新此类非遗保护开发的特色方式,有利于非遗的类别化保护和利用。     

智库建设的困境摆脱与国家软实力提升

智库是国家软实力的重要体现。改革开放以来,国家软实力的提升为智库建设的机制创新创造了有利条件。但在新时期新的历史条件下,由于体制内官方智库的非自主性、体制外智库发展的滞后性、智库设置和定位的模糊化、智库建设和发展的保障不足等仍影响着国家软实力的提升。不断加强官方智库建设,高度重视半官方智库建设,加大民间智库的扶持力度,引导大学附属型智库的积极发展,建立各类智库的互动合作机制,是我国进一步提升国家软实力的必由之路。     

非公有资本介入广播电视行业的规制及路径

随着我国广播电视国有经营性文化单位转企改制的不断深入,非公有资本将进一步渗透到该领域,成为推动我国广播电视产业发展的重要力量。依据现行相关规定,非公有资本可以介入到广播电视业的影视内容制作与发行、频道频率运营、数字电视运营以及新媒体产业运营等领域。现阶段,非公有资本进入广播电视行业还存在一定的障碍。政府应出台相应的扶持保障政策,社会制作机构应建立行业协会,同时拓宽播出渠道、创新盈利模式．共同推进广播电视产业的社会化分工、专业化生产。
