Books vs. articles: Two ways of publishing sociology

Sociologists tend to publish either in the form of articles in scholarly journals or in the form of books. This paper attempts to show that not only do specific university departments have scholarly cultures emphasizing one or the other, but that structural and demographic factors — such as location, public or private status, and size — are correlated with each. Book departments tend to be found at exclusive private universities in or near big cities on both coasts, while article-producing departments tend to be in land grant universities in the South and Midwest. Recognizing that such publication decisions are not purely scientific in nature but are also partially socially constructed ought to allow us to have more diversity in how departments structure their scholarly cultures.     

批判视角下大学英语期末测试的问题与对策

地方本科院校大学英语期末测试主要存在以下问题:教育主管部门的行政干预;大学英语四级考试的消极影响;相关教师责任心不够强,测试理论水平、实践水平相对低下。批判语言测试主张从广阔的社会视域解决这些问题:敦促期末测试各利益相关方协同努力;实现语言测试专业化;体现以学习者为中心的理念;把对学习者的评价贯穿于英语学习的每一个环节。     

Relational sociology: a well-defined sociological paradigm or a challenging ‘relational turn’ in sociology?

In this paper I present and summarize the theoretical proposals of four leading scholars of the so-called ‘relational sociology’. First of all I try to contextualize its emergence and developments in the increasingly globalized scientific system. From this particular (and international) point of view, relational sociology seems to develop through a peculiar scientific path opened and charted by well-identified actors and competitors, their invisible colleges, their global connections, cleavages, and coalitions. Whatever the structuring of this field, it accomplishes the criticism of classical individualistic and collectivistic sociological theories, a task strongly facilitated by the development of new methods and techniques of empirical research, and by the increasingly powerful computing capabilities. After this brief historical reconstruction, and following very strictly the contributions of the four scholars, I try to synthetize their theoretical designs, focusing the analysis on two scientific issues of great significance for the future of relational sociology: the specific ontology of ‘social relations’ and the methodologies used to observe it adequately. Finally, I wonder if we are facing a new sociological paradigm, already well structured and internationally established, or rather a ‘relational turn’ that probably will develop into a new ‘sociological field’ internally very differentiated and articulated.     

论霍桑小说的梦境描写

霍桑的小说除了深刻的人性主题受评论界关注外,其艺术表现技巧也备受评论界关注,其中大量使用梦境描写构成其重要的表现技巧之一。梦境描写不仅构成其小说的特质内容,而且是霍桑结撰故事情节、深化作品的思想内涵、塑造和深化人物性格的重要手段。这不仅是霍桑浪漫主义总体创作倾向的反映,而且也是他的创作方式在作品中的具体体现。     

教师权威的社会学分析

教师权威代表一种师生间的社会关系，是学校教育权威的集中体现。从社会学视角分析，教师权威现状，可以看到，学生群体的特殊性、家长群的时代特点、社会舆论的误导、学校环境的难作为、市场经济的表征等因素导致了教师权威的消解与异化。因此，必须寻求对话型师生关系下的教师权威，以解决当前的问题。     

前期创造社与“为艺术”之再阐释

现代文学发展过程中,创造社前期一直被含混地概括为具有"为艺术"的特质,事实上,这中间仍存在有待清理的问题。本文试图将创造社对"为艺术"这一西方概念进行的发挥作一个简单的呈现。     

日本文学对张资平早期浪漫主义创作的影响

张资平在日本留学十年 ,其早期浪漫主义创作深受日本文学影响。在五四新文学运动中 ,张资平以他擅长的笔法和题材展示了五四新青年的苦闷与觉醒 ,表达了他们对纯真爱情的向往和种种生存本相。张资平早期的小说创作具有浪漫主义情调 ,应该是严肃而有特色的新文学作品。     

田汉的早期剧作与新浪漫主义

在中国20年代的戏剧舞台上，田汉有其同仁们发起了一场“艺术戏剧运动”，他们在社会政治功能的挤压中，执著地表面戏剧的生命象征意识。本文立足于田汉20年代早期剧作，以新浪漫主义为理论视点，重在挖掘其剧作内在的精神实质，即：同时具有物欲冲动和精神追求二重结构的本体的人，如何在这两种因素的碰撞与交锋中，体味灵的觉醒，把握宇宙的意志。     

西方情感社会学理论的发展脉络

西方情感社会学理论的历史演进过程可以分为形成、发展和成熟三个阶段。形成时期虽然理性主义占统治地位，但与此同时情感的研究颇有步步为营之势，非理性主义思潮也偶露峥嵘。在情感社会学发展时期，社会危机论、情欲革命论、批判理论、冲突论成为情感研究的主流导向和强势声音；成熟阶段的情感社会学研究朝着学科化和现实化两个方向发展。情感社会学的发展脉络呈现出五大特征（或五大态势）。     

Economic and Sociological Theories of Individual Charitable Giving: Complementary or Contradictory?

This article first sets out the principles of neoclassical microeconomic analysis and examines the advances in our understanding of individual giving to charitable organizations achieved within this framework of analysis. It then turns to sociology and considers alternative conceptions of sociological analysis, especially rational-action theories and the qualitative tradition. The contribution of these to our understanding of charitable giving is explored. The article concludes that rational-choice sociology can complement economic analyses in two ways but that qualitative sociology is contradictory to the economic approach.
