深化国企改革 促进人的解放

从经济学和社会发展角度分析,改革的目的不仅仅是为了解放生产力和发展生产力,更在于人的解放。传统的计划经济体制中最核心的关系是国有企业中的依附关系,改革20多年来,中国社会最根本的变化是削弱了公民的依附关系。     

At the threshold of retirement: From all-absorbing relations to self-actualization

To investigate the complexities of the retirement process, the present article draws on a case study of Eva, a Swedish woman who “awakened” from all-absorbing relations. It considers the ways in which retirement can enable liberation from patriarchal kinship structures and embodied values of respectability. The aim is to illuminate how deep, embodied values can become conscious and explicit during precarious life situations and transitional phases. The relation between the Swedish welfare state, an I-we balance, and gender equity values are illuminated. These analytical dimensions support the analysis by providing insights into the ways in which individuals embody and use cultural and social structures when they aim to manage unpredictability and to create change toward self-actualization.     

新媒体艺术的审美新奇--感官的延伸亦或损毁的共通感?

具有历史意义的技术革新不仅决定着现实世界中人与人之间的社会经济、政治关系,同时决定着人类感觉器官和人类自身本体性的改变。正如马克思指出的,技术形象地阐释了人与自然之间的相互作用,同时改变了人类在具体化时被历史性建构和发展的方式。麦克卢汉认为,由技术扩张带来的感官延伸会在所有的感官中产生新的感官比例。他还强调,多感官、多能力的延伸同属于一个经验范畴,因而必须协同一致。针对所谓的新媒体艺术的议题,笔者的目标是在当下后福特主义的情境中检测“解放性的新事物”。如果说,(新)媒体的影响力只能在能够改变人与人之间个体相互作用的方式中进行检验,联系麦克卢汉的相关理论,那么,不用考虑任何新“技术”,艺术解放力即被看作是消解共通感的变革力量。      

青年马克思政治批判的逻辑理路

青年马克思的政治批判及唯物史观的形成过程中有两个关键转折点:一是从国家到市民社会;二是从政治解放到人类解放,这两点构成青年马克思政治批判逻辑进程中的核心环节,使马克思迅速从革命民主主义转变到共产主义的立场。对马克思政治立场转变的学理进行研究,可以使我们对马克思思想形成过程有一个更加科学的认识。     

The Role of Social Support in the Transition From Foster Care to Emerging Adulthood

Many youth leave foster care with disrupted relationships with their family and others in their social networks. Previous research has documented the severe adversity that former foster youth face in the transition to young adulthood. Perhaps some difficulties are at least partially related to a lack of social support that results from frayed relationships. This article reviews the literature on social support, particularly as it relates to foster youth, for the purpose of examining the role that formal and informal supports play in the transition to adulthood. The implications of this literature for successful transitions for former foster youth are discussed, as well as ways child welfare workers can engage youth and their families, and help them develop supportive social networks.     

人类本位的共生时代--对全球化的生存论解读

全球化是人类历史发展的必然结果,这种趋势已现实地展现于我们当今的时代生活,凸显了人类生存的趋同性,尽管在全球化的进程中还存在中心与边缘、强权与落后的矛盾,但这是前进中历史的必然,可以通过人类的协同发展、对话和沟通等形式加以化解.如今,全球化作为人类的历史选择,已经显现它自身强劲的发展动力.当今时代,不加入WTO则丧失发展的机遇.人类已经进入全球化时代,全球化的生存表明人类正在实现个体化的超越,每个人的生存必须以他人的生存为前提,共生共容是全球化的时代主题.     

A materialist take on minoritization,emancipation, and language revitalization: Occitan sociolinguistics since the 1970s

This paper introduces and discusses Occitan sociolinguistics as it evolved from the 1970s onward as a theory of language contact as conflict. It was developed in conjunction with its Catalan counterpart and as a reaction to Joshua Fishman's allocational model of diglossia, and came as a response to conditions of swift social and linguistic change in Southern France after the Second World War. This model, proposed mainly at first by Robèrt Lafont in Montpelhièr, is strongly materialist in that it focuses on the material conditions of language production and replaces the language movement among other social struggles. This paper first explores the roots of the contemporary Occitan movement and its links with the birth of Occitan sociolinguistics. It then analyzes key concepts in Occitan sociolinguistics such as diglossic ideology as essential to understand processes of minoritization, linguistic alienation, and social domination. Finally, it looks at how this approach conceptualizes language revitalization not as a linguistic issue but as a social one and suggests that Occitan sociolinguistics provides an alternative to models of language loss and revival rooted in cultural and identity politics.     

‘Africanisation’, African identities and emancipation in contemporary South Africa

This article problematises the concept of ‘Africanisation’ as a response to colonial conquest and apartheid rule, bearing both political and knowledge consequences. It aims to rescue ‘Africanisation’ from essentialist notions, but at the same time to show how paradigms cannot be simply applied where they derive from quite different experiences. The article introduces modes of differentiating concepts that are dynamic, as opposed to static, singular and unmediated meanings that bedevil any emancipatory project. The tendency to see a moment in the life of a concept as having a settled and finalised meaning renders the qualities of democracy, and other similar liberating concepts, as settled though their meaning is never finally realised. While colonialism marginalised and devalued local knowledges, the national liberation project sought unity/homogenisation, which tended to deny distinct identities, as is largely the case today. There remains hostility to pluralism at a social and political level and a failure to recognise autonomous identities unconnected to the state or the ruling organisation, the African National Congress (ANC). The tendency towards static notions of custom and paradigms that do not derive from the experiences of African women, in particular, has tended to erase the voices of women or prejudice the emancipation of women from patriarchal oppression. Africanisation, the article proposes, must be located through an ongoing dialogue between dynamic local knowledges and a range of other explanatory tools.     

Hidden in Public View

This study analyzes the visual representations of women in Bulgaria from the 1950s to the 1980s, as depicted in photographs in the official daily newspaper of the communist party. The study is theoretically informed by feminist theories of media representations and engages specifically with Gaye Tuchman's idea of “symbolic annihilation,” which referred to Western media's condemnation, trivialization, and omission of women in public discourse. However, this analysis adapts Tuchman's theory to the specificities of socialist societies, where women's participation in public life was ideologically mandated. The authors propose the concept of “symbolic glorification” as a correlate to Tuchman's idea, and argue that symbolic glorification was a necessary part of ideological efforts to claim that women's participation in the labor force and political life was a sign of true emancipation. Nevertheless, the visual data reveal that certain aspects of femininity, related to motherhood and sexuality, were symbolically annihilated as a way to make female identities conform to ideological goals. The paper concludes by raising questions about the ways in which the ideologically constructed identities of women during socialism may impact on a feminist agenda after the end of the Cold War.
