Life Change and Spirituality Among a College Student Cohort

Objective: Because college marks a time when life-change is typically high, the authors designed this study to determine whether life-change was related to degree of spirituality, the "directing" component of health, among a college student cohort. Participants and Methods: The sample group, consisting of 180 northeastern US undergraduate college students, completed the 48-item Life Attitude Profile-Revised (LAP-R) and the Schedule of Recent Experience (SRE) in the fall semester of 2004. Results: Findings indicate that college students who reported experiencing higher levels of life change, both positive and negative, also scored lower on spirituality. Nevertheless, these students had scores indicative of a higher desire to find spirituality, even though their motivation to do so was low. Conclusions: Although life changes among college students likely will remain high, lower spirituality can be enhanced; therefore, interested health educators are encouraged to help students increase their degree of spirituality.     

The myth of everyday life: Toward a heterology of the ordinary

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the rethinking of everyday life as a central, if highly diverse and problematic, theme of modern philosophy and social theory. The focus of the essay concerns the uncertain ontological status of ‘the everyday’ within the human sciences. An initial exploration of the ambiguity of the expression ‘everyday life’ points to a more consequential type of undecidability once it is fully recognized how the ideology of ‘everyday life’ functions to suppress the materiality, contingency, and historicity of human experience. This can be seen in the contrast between powerful atemporal conceptions of everyday life and more critical understandings of the lifeworld framed in temporal categories. The distinction between everyday life and lifeworld proves useful as a marker for two very different approaches to the ordinary. The paper claims that the ordinary has been systematically denigrated in the very act of being theorized as ‘everyday life’. A tradition of binary and dichotomous theorizing is uncovered as one of the fundamental sources of the myth of an ahistorical, unmediated everyday life. After mapping a range of more reflexive perspectives toward the investigation of ordinary life, the paper concludes on a positive and reconstructive note by suggesting that any attempt to go beyond the dualisms and antinomies of contemporary theory must first abandon this mythology to reveal the histor(icit)y and alterity of lifeworlds in their rich natural, incarnate, political, and reflexive imbrications.     

城乡“漂流”的行迹与“新颢气”的追寻——鲁迅人生轨迹与精神线索再考察

从孙承泽与王铎交游论及人清后二人不同的生活状态

孙承泽和王铎是清初两位身居高位的“贰臣”,也是清初书画史上具有代表性的两个重要人物,入清后二人来往密切,相携游玩、共赏书画。在清统治者强大的政治压力和自身身事两朝大节有亏的负罪心理双重作用下,他们选择了不同的生活方式,王铎消极逃避,借助酒和书画,佯狂适世,颓废自放,而孙承泽则能积极面对,著书“立言”,玩赏书画,潇洒送日月。     

中国社会工作发展的路径——生态系统理论下的维度分析

中国的专业社会工作作为一个"舶来品",从进入中国社会,到慢慢适应和本土化建构,并逐步发挥应有的作用,这一过程是漫长的。然而,在当前社会工作的研究中,还缺少对这一过程的理论性辨析。本文借鉴生态学的思想,尝试将这一过程分为三个阶段:即融入以获取地位,相互协助以巩固地位,彰显独特价值最终完成职业化过程。基于此,本文选取三个概念,即融入、共生与竞争来解析各个层次的内涵。三个层次相辅相成,既有联系,又有渐进性和层次性。

“日常生活批判”及其“再批判”

20世纪90年代兴起的“日常生活批判理论”有助于清除现代化的文化阻滞力并推动人的现代化进程。然而,其“日常生活批判理论”却是以现代化合理性和合法性为前提依据的。现代主义并没有实现对传统文化的积极扬弃,以至于产生了“现代性焦虑”和意义生活的丧失。现代日常生活世界的生存论转向有利于从微观领域颠覆现代主义的文化霸权。因此,应在现代日常生活世界中对“日常性”和“非日常性”进行双重批判,以建构一种能够不断自反的现代性。

Well‐being among employed and non‐employed caregiving women in Taiwan

Chou Y‐C, Kröger T, Chiao C, Pu C‐Y. Well‐being among employed and non‐employed caregiving women in Taiwan This study addressed various groups of non‐employed/employed and non‐caring/caring women in Taiwan. Data from the 2006 National Taiwanese Women Survey (at age 16–64, n= 6,017) were analysed to determine whether there are differences in terms of well‐being, as measured by self‐rated health and family life satisfaction, between women who work and/or care and between different carer groups. Other factors associated with well‐being of carers of young children (n= 1,697) were also analysed. The results showed that non‐employed carers of disabled adults stood out as the most disadvantaged group. However, the importance of work has been replaced by support among carers of young children. This study suggests that unpaid carers, particularly carers of disabled adults who are non‐employed, ought to be supported by policies. To improve carers' well‐being, care–work reconciliation among working‐age women needs to be included in the future care scheme in Taiwan.
