State work and the testing concours of citizenship

Anyone trying to be a citizen has to pass through a set of practices trying to be a state. This paper investigates some of the ways testing practices calibrate citizens, and in doing so, perform “the state.” The paper focuses on three forms of citizenship testing, which it considers exemplary forms of “state work,” and which all, in various ways, concern “migration.” First, the constitution of a “border crossing,” which requires an identity test configured by deceptibility. Second, the Dutch asylum process, in which “being gay” can, in certain cases, be reason for being granted asylum, but where “being gay” is also the outcome of an examination organized by suspicion. And third, the Dutch measurement of immigrants’ “integration,” which is comprised of a testing process in which such factishes as “being a member of society” and “being modern” surface. Citizenship is analyzed in this paper as accrued and (re)configured along a migration trajectory that takes shape as a testing concours, meaning that subjects become citizens along a trajectory of testing practices. In contributing both to work on states and citizenship, and to work on testing, this paper thus puts forward the concept of citizenship testing as state work, where “state work is the term for that kind of labor that most knows itself as comparison, equivalency, and exchange in the social realm” (Harney, 2002, pp. 10–11). Throughout the testing practices discussed here, comparison, equivalency, and exchange figure prominently as the practical achievements of crafting states and citizens.     

Subjective utility with upper and lower probabilities on finite states

This article is concerned with thresholds of discrimination of preference judgments under uncertainty. We establish an axiomatic characterization for a threshold representation, where thresholds are represented by inexact measurement of subjective probabilities, i.e., upper and lower probabilities. Since upper and lower probabilities need not be additive, the representational form adopts the Choquet integration.     

虚拟空间交织的取向原则

虚拟空间交织是人们常用的思维与认知方式之一。本文通过对交织及其原则的介绍,描述了虚拟空间交织的运作,指出虚拟空间交织构建中主观取向的原则应为最佳关联。     

论保护知识产权对信息资源共享的影响

在知识经济环境下 ,信息资源共享是提高整个社会信息资源获知能力与利用率的关键。保护知识产权就是保护知识生产者生产知识的动力 ,就是保护资源共享的源泉。它可以极大地促进知识资源的生产和有序利用。同时 ,保护知识产权又将在一定程度上限制和约束资源共享。因此 ,保护知识产权 ,充分发挥资源共享的功能 ,需要加强知识产权保护的立法、执法及宣传 ,实现保护知识产权与资源共享的有机结合     

LOG-PERIODOGRAM ESTIMATION OF LONG MEMORY VOLATILITY DEPENDENCIES WITH CONDITIONALLY HEAVY TAILED RETURNS

Many recent papers have used semiparametric methods, especially the log-periodogram regression, to detect and estimate long memory in the volatility of asset returns. In these papers, the volatility is proxied by measures such as squared, log-squared, and absolute returns. While the evidence for the existence of long memory is strong using any of these measures, the actual long memory parameter estimates can be sensitive to which measure is used. In Monte-Carlo simulations, I find that if the data is conditionally leptokurtic, the log-periodogram regression estimator using squared returns has a large downward bias, which is avoided by using other volatility measures. In United States stock return data, I find that squared returns give much lower estimates of the long memory parameter than the alternative volatility measures, which is consistent with the simulation results. I conclude that researchers should avoid using the squared returns in the semiparametric estimation of long memory volatility dependencies.

从“知识考古”到“美学解救”——论现代“人”的福柯式解构

笛卡尔以来，主体问题始终是现代哲学最为核心的问题。但是，从哲学的语言论转向开始，主体已经声名狼藉，主体哲学的范式被视为陈腐过时了，传统的主体之争已经没有意义，无论语言是第一位，或者自我意识的个体优先，这两个范式中的任何一个都凸现和遮蔽着什么，将这两者联系起来或者寻找一种介于这两种范式之间的思路倒是可能的，如米歇尔福柯之路。     

汉语生成的基本过程

应用唯物辩证法方法，研究汉语生成的基本过程。该过程和认识论有直接的联系，两者的主体结构是相互对应的。汉语是在一个疑问词的两次大分裂中生成的，具体表现为感觉=知觉＋概念的形式。日常生活中总体上驾驭人们实践的东西，既不是单纯的感性认识也不是单纯的理性认识，而是中和了这两个方面的感觉。过去认识论和心理学的基本观点是错误的，鉴于思维和语言的关系，有可能在此项研究中得到修正。     

知识经济与人的现代化的实现

人的现代化是社会现代化的核心 ,一个国家要实现现代化 ,首先要实现人的现代化。知识经济条件下 ,社会经济的发展对人的知识、能力和素质提出了更高的要求 ,人的现代化意义进一步凸显。大力发展教育事业 ,培育与知识经济和现代化相适应的全面发展的人 ,是实现人的现代化的关键。
