文学的"沉寂"与大众传媒文化的"喧嚣"——论社会文化语境变迁中的文学话语权的流转

曾经在很长时期,文学在我们的社会话语体系中一直拥有着相对显赫的话语权。然而在市场经济全面激荡的今天,文学却日益显示出“失语”的态势。文学享有尊宠社会话语地位的基本社会动因已然淡逝,淡出社会注意力中心成为它的一种必然归宿。以新闻、资讯、娱乐为内容主体的大众传媒文化,活力空前彰显,自有它内的社会机理。文学昔日的显赫社会话语权,让渡给大众传媒文化,是注意力经济时代社会发展的必然逻辑。     

林纾与台湾

近代福建名人林纾曾先后三次到过台湾,台湾的经历给林纾留下了深刻的印象。梳理林纾的寓台经历和其涉及台湾的文献资料,除了对林纾生平事迹的考证有一定价值外,其中也包含着不容忽视的文学价值和史料价值。     

中国现代文学中的旧体文学亟待研究

本文提出中国现代文学研究的旧体文学问题，确定了旧体文学的范围，追寻了旧体文学与新体文学对立的原因，指出认为旧体文学不具有现代性是一种误解。接着指出研究旧体文学在现阶段的意义有助于我们更全面地了解历史；有助于我们更完整地了解文学的转型；帮助我们熟悉一批当时也是非常重要的作家、作品；更深入地了解新旧文学之间的对话、交流、演变，并且可以突破一元论历史观的束缚。

IMPROVING THE NUMERICAL TECHNIQUE FOR COMPUTING THE ACCUMULATED DISTRIBUTION OF A QUADRATIC FORM IN NORMAL VARIABLES

This paper is concerned with the technique of numerically evaluating the cumulative distribution function of a quadratic form in normal variables. The efficiency of two new truncation bounds and all existing truncation bounds are investigated. We also find that the suggestion in the literature for further splitting truncation errors might reduce computational efficiency, and the optimum splitting rate could be different in different situations. A practical solution is provided. The paper also discusses a modified secant algorithm for finding the critical value of the distribution at any given significance level.     

Tests of serial independence based on Kendall's process

The authors propose new rank statistics for testing the white noise hypothesis in a time series. These statistics are Cramér‐von Mises and Kolmogorov‐Smirnov functionals of an empirical distribution function whose mean is related to a serial version of Kendall's tau through a linear transform. The authors determine the asymptotic behaviour of the underlying serial process and the large‐sample distribution of the proposed statistics under the null hypothesis of white noise. They also present simulation results showing the power of their tests.     

Applying State Space to SPC: Monitoring Multivariate Time Series

Monitoring cross-sectional and serially interdependent processes has become a new issue in statistical process control (SPC). In up-to-date SPC literature, Kalman filtering was reported to monitor univariate autocorrelated processes. This paper applies a Kalman filter or state-space method for SPC to monitoring multivariate time series. We use Aoki's approach to estimate the parameter matrices of a state-space model. Multivariate Hotelling T ² control charts are employed to monitor the residuals of the state-space. Examples of this approach are illustrated.     

海外华人文学与“承认的政治”

在为少数或弱势群体争取文化和政治权力的斗争中，在构建一种更加宽容多元的文化结构中，“承认的政治”和“少数话语”两种理论立场和论述策略存在对话、互补和辩证的空间。对于弱势／少数族裔文学而言，认同与承认无疑是一场永恒持续的奋斗。实现多元族群、多元文化之间真正的宽容、多元、平等和相互承认，人文知识分子需要更积极的文化参与和政治参与，需要进行不断的“文化抗争”和“文化协商”。海外华人文学的历史即是一部华裔知识分子在不同的历史语境下展开“文化抗争”和“文化协商”的发展史。     

Children and Power in Mexican Transnational Families

Today, many families find that they are unable to fulfill the goal of maintaining a household by living together under the same roof. Some members migrate internationally. This article addresses the consequences of a transnational lifestyle for children who are left behind by migrant parents. Using ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with a total of 141 members of Mexican transnational families, I explore how children who are left behind react to parents’ migrations. I focus on how Mexican children manifest the competing pressures they feel surrounding parents’ migrations and consequently shape family migration patterns. The article shows that children may experience power, albeit in different ways at different ages, while simultaneously being disadvantaged as dependents and in terms of their families’ socioeconomic status.     

School's out! Why earlier among children of lone parents?

The aims of this population-based study were to analyse educational attainment at ages 24–25 among children of lone parents in comparison with children living with two biological parents, to increase understanding of the factors that seem to be of major importance in increased risks of lower educational achievement and to examine how the life circumstances of non-custodial parents influence possible differences. We found that children who grew up with only one parent showed lower educational attainment than did children in two-parent families. Poorer educational performance on the part of the offspring of lone parents can be explained to a large extent by socio-economic disadvantage, especially a lack of economic resources. However, achievement varies according to cause of lone parenting, and findings strongly indicate that adjusting solely for custodial parents' circumstances may lead to under-estimation of the relationship. Lone parenting seems to have a more detrimental effect on girls' education, and also within groups of children with highly educated parents than among those with a relatively low level of education.
