Ideal types,stereotypes and classes

Several recent articles seeking to validate the Goldthorpe class schema have implicitly raised some interesting questions about the relation between analytical techniques and theory. The favoured technique of latent class analysis actually brings this variety of class analysis close to the much older tradition of ideal-type analysis. In doing so, it helps to illustrate a much wider problem that arises in any conceptualization in terms of classes. The paper seeks to show how, just as in popular discourse around 'class', stereotypes are used to simplify and summarize a complex set of related characteristics, so similarly ideal types, as used in class analysis, are an over-simplification. As elsewhere in social science, the danger of using them is that they serve to protect a theoretical concept from empirical refutation. An alternative 'research programme' to that of class analysis is presented, based on measures of stratification arrangements that are more closely linked to the reproducing structure of inequalities.     

大学办学指导思想的特征及其创新——以剑桥现象为视角

《剑桥中国文学史》分期浅论

《剑桥中国文学史》的定位是非学术性的面向普通读者的畅销书,其独特的分期方法固然是对欧美汉学传统上以文类为分类依据的反拨,更是对市场及潜在读者的迎合。从其实际的操作看,主编所宣称的文学文化史的观念,在具体的分期中并没有得到彻底贯彻。由于各个时段的不同特点,也由于参编者各自的学术专长及风格不同,因而分期方式也各不相同,这使得全书颇为杂乱。即使如此,这部来自域外的著作以其不同的视角对学界仍旧有启发意义。

Individual economic agents in a macroeconomic model: UK companies in Cambridge MDM

This paper makes a case for disaggregating the company sector in economic policy modeling and reports the first attempt to construct projections for the U.K. company sector using individual company models. It outlines the disaggregated model and explores for each endogenous variable the type of improvement in modeling that disaggregation can offer. The scale of aggregation biases is demonstrated by comparing illustrative projections for the disaggregated model and for an aggregate counterpart model. These projections also suggest the areas of policy making to which the model can contribute.

徐志摩的剑桥诗歌研究

徐志摩在剑桥大学创作了他的第一批诗歌,他还以剑桥自然物景为题材创作了自己最优秀的作品《再别康桥》。他的剑桥诗受英国浪漫主义诗歌影响,歌唱诗人的创造、爱欲,抒发政治理想;写剑桥自然美景的诗有田园牧歌风,表达了对剑桥的热爱和依依不舍之情。《再别康桥》之美,在于它精炼、提纯、节制的功夫,以及异国情调与古典意境的完美统一。徐志摩为了刻意追求古典意境,甚至不惜在意象的选用上作伪。剑桥把徐志摩培养成一位杰出的诗人,也让他写了自己最好的诗。
