可持续发展与会计理论研究方法的选择

随着经济的高速增长与环境保护、社会发展的矛盾日益突出,人类提出了建立在资源、环境、经济和社会相协调基础上的可持续发展战略。这种新的发展观必然对传统会计理论及其研究方法产生冲击。在现有的各种会计理论研究方法中,社会学法正是与可持续发展要求相一致的,其必将对会计理论的发展产生深远的影响,有着广阔的应用前景。     

论经济哲学的认识论基础

对经济哲学的认识论考察可以从三个方面来展开:对经济本体的认识论考察,其基础问题主要表现为经济主体的主体意识与经济行为或活动的关系问题;对经济学的认识论的考察,它把经济本体的认识论问题折射为对研究方法论的反思,它不仅反映在对实证分析和规范分析的分野的反思上,反映在对演绎方法与归纳方法的对立的反思上,也反映在个体主义方法论和整体主义方法论的反思上;对经济哲学这一学科的认识论考察,包括经济哲学赖以建立起来的认识论根据和经济哲学的认识论意义分析。     

中国科学主义核心特征浅析

通过分析中国科学主义发展过程中“科学方法万能”这一核心特征,指出了其不合理的一面,并就其现实意义即对自然科学方法在人文社会科学领域中的应用进行了初步探讨。     

试论民族学的知识结构和应用领域

2008年的民族学人类学世界大会将在中国昆明举行。中国学界应该从现在开始启动强化训练程序。本文论述民族学的学科对象、学科方法论、学科地位及其在当前中国的应用领域,供有志于此的学界同行参考。本文指出,民族学作为改革者的科学,具有参与社会转型期文化重建的使命。在多民族统一的中国迈向全球化、实施西部开发和全面建设小康社会的背景下,民族学能从保护文化遗产、保护生态环境和维护弱势群体和少数民族权益等方面促进中国的长治久安和可持续发展,因而具有广阔的发展空间和重要的应用价值。政府应注重民族学的学科建设和应用,学界应注意民族学的人才培养和知识更新。     

和为贵新解

孔子于六合之外存而不论 ,关心的乃是世道人心。其政治伦理学说有着完整的体系。即以个人修养节制个人行为 ,调整社会关系 ,进而达到太平的理想社会。孔子的理想社会是以“和”为特质的。“和”在孔子的政治伦理学说中占有终极的位置。可以说 ,孔子的政治伦理学说起于“仁”而终于“和”。“和”的概念兼有目的论、价值论与方法论的意义。但是值得注意的是 ,孔子学说中的各个概念之间存在着不同程度的交叉。对孔子之志加以义理分析 ,有助于阐明“和”在《论语》体系中的地位     

犯罪构成动态论纲

传统的犯罪构成理论以对构成犯罪的各要件分析见长,但综合不够,动态研究欠缺.从动态角度研究犯罪构成非常重要,从理论角度看,它对统摄诸如形态论、转化犯等问题有意义;在实践方面,对准确地定罪量刑也有重大作用.这可从方法论、总论、分论三个方面进行分析.     

类型电影与类型批评

无论在传统电影批评还是现代电影批评的领域,类型批评都是重要的不可或缺的批评方法之一。它的研究对象类型电影的产生是大工业生产和艺术审美合力的产物;类型电影的本质内涵是模式化,它的创新是在模式基础上的破格;类型批评的历史和类型电影的创作并不同步,在经历了现代批评理论的洗礼后,类型批评呈现出综合化的跨学科的研究趋向。     

Maintenance work: Interrogating the sociology of art

The following article explores the different ways art sociologists investigate art that is based in the participatory arts. The aim is to shift the empirical focus to the art practice, which speaks for itself, and to place the work of the artist and all who cooperate or collaborate in the making of the artwork at the center of sociological analysis. By allowing the artist to speak fully about their work, art sociologists can uncover new social and cultural phenomena and better understand the different motivations underlying art-making. The following literature highlights the recent tendencies in the sociology of art, explores the “social turn” in art and presents different sociologists who focus on the art practice and the art’s voice. For further development of the field, I suggest the sociology of art needs to catch-up with the recent tendencies in art by placing the empirical focus on participatory art practices that will not only give us a better understanding about the intricate actions taking place in the art making, but it will also illuminate new layers of social life that are hidden. To conclude, I suggest that sociologists engage with participatory-based artists to enhance sociology through a public sociology of art.     

The Subpoena of Ethnographic Data

This essay outlines the author's experience of having his ethnographic data subpoenaed. It outlines the challenges of subpoena's to research, and suggests four solutions: (1) Apply for and utilize the National Institutes of Health certificate of confidentiality by asking health‐related questions over the course of one's research; (2) Establish a task force that articulates clear ethical guidelines for ethnographic research, with attention to the conditions wherein ethnographers can break confidentiality (and might also comply with subpoenas). These ethical guidelines should then be made clear to research subjects as a part of informed consent processes; (3) Demand that institutions (institutional review boards) that require confidentiality as a condition of research be required to defend that confidentiality through the office of the general counsel; (4) Socialize the cost of subpoenas, wherein scholars can be part of an insurance pool that will defend them in the event of a subpoena and thereby defend the general enterprise of ethnographic research.     

Sex segregation in India's formal manufacturing sector

Using an index of dissimilarity based on data from the Annual Survey of Industries for 1989/90 and 2000/01, the authors find that sex segregation across India's so‐called factory sector decreased over this period. Most of the apparent improvement, however, was due to changes in the industrial structure of employment, not desegregation per se. The index is also sensitive to the number of industries in the underlying classifications. At the national and state levels, formal job opportunities for women are effectively very limited: they are highly concentrated in a small number of traditional “women's” manufacturing industries, such as food, tobacco, apparel, weaving and spinning.
