略论蔡铁鹰的《西游记》成书研究

阐述了蔡铁鹰先生长达20多年的《西游记》成书研究的进程，认为蔡铁鹰先生关于《西游记》的成书研究首先从源头上寻找制约因素，并在前人成果的基础上多有创新，构成了近年《西游记》研究的重要进展，尤其是以近著《〈西游记〉的诞生》为代表的《西游记》成书研究，打破了多年来这一研究的停滞而创造出一个崭新的局面。同时认为蔡铁鹰先生艰辛努力所取得的一些研究方法值得提倡。     

西行取经的整体寓意

分析了《西游记》西行取经主题的丰富寓意。认为在整体上，小说于取经开始与结尾反讽性的结构安排，使得取经故事蕴含了“过程大于结果，成佛自在心中”的寓意；西行取经象征一个修行和自我完善的过程；在叙述当中，小说强调了取经人作为一个整体而存在，并通过取经队伍的两次分裂与重合折射出了取经人自我完善的阶段性的飞跃。     

Assessing the cumulative effects of stress: The association between job stress and allostatic load in a large sample of Chinese employees

Job stress can lead to various system dysfunctions, but until now no reliable biomarkers for its assessment have been identified. Allostatic load (AL) is an index that enables the cumulative effect on the body of chronic stress to be assessed, and is derived from a set of relevant biological measures. In this study, a 13-parameter index (building on the original 10-item index) was used to examine the relationship between job strain and AL. Participants were 1219 healthy Chinese employees. Job strain was measured using the Job Content Questionnaire, and AL was assessed by various possible stress responses, including blood pressure, cholesterol, indicators of glucose metabolism, and hormone and inflammation markers. AL in the high job strain group differed sharply from that in the low job strain group. The AL score was positively associated with age and educational level. Several individual parameters also differed between the two groups. Men scored significantly higher on AL and cardiovascular and metabolic health outcomes, whereas for women the associations appeared in the biological indicators. Analyses indicated that decision latitude (DL) and job demands were significantly related to AL. Job demands correlated significantly with the primary biological indicators and DL with the secondary health outcomes. In conclusion, this study provides evidence of the value of measuring allostatic load in assessing the chronic effects of job stress.     

一曲双奏:论《古韵》与《呼兰河传》的童年叙事

凌叔华和萧红分别是京派文学和左翼文学的重要作家,进入抗战时期,两人都创作了一部带有强烈自叙传色彩的童年题材长篇小说,这其中有着惊人的巧合性和一致性。文章力图从对童年生活的遥忆、对人性、国民性的思考、对男权思想的批判、儿童视角的切入以及散文化的叙事文体等多个方面深入探讨二者在叙事上的异同。     

记一位安乐椅上的民族学家

戴裔煊是中国民族学界的前辈，长期致力于民族学与史学研究，著述颇丰。值戴先生诞辰100周年之际忆古思今，不仅是对他的追念，亦是对一批前辈学者的回溯。文章从学科史的角度，结合有关论著、自述和专门评述，解密了一批档案资料，据此探索他的研究心路，以期衬托中国民族学的曲折轨迹。     

现代学术视野中的红学学科架构

学科体系之重建，是“红学”与现代学术接轨并与国际学界对话的前提条件。如果说“红学”是独立于文、史、哲等人文基础学科之外的“一级学科”，现代学术视野中的这门中华固有专学，至少应包括学科理论与方法研究、作者及其家世研究、版本文献研究、文本研究、红学史、红楼文化、翻译与比较研究、海外红学研究八个“二级学科”。     

Gamesmanship for internal evaluators: Knowing when to “hold 'em” and when to “fold 'em”

This article discusses the ethical conflicts between an internal evaluator's altruistic social reform motivation and an organization's practical survival motivation. The internal evaluator might encounter (a) pressure to downplay negative and emphasize positive findings; (b) reinforcement for nonthreatening, routine evaluation activities; (c) greater interest in making the evaluation unit visible than in using evaluation results; or (d) reduced access to privileged information.     

从《走遍美国》审视中美文化取向差异及渊源

以《走遍美国》为切入点,重新审视在跨文化背景下中美文化在时序观、时间观、价值观等方面的差异及渊源,可以看出在语言教学中加强文化因素的输入,加深学生对目标语文化与本族语文化之间差异的认识非常重要。     

罪刑法定原则法典化再思考

1997年新刑法颁布 ,罪刑法定原则在法学界多年疾唤后终于在法典中确立 ,实行多年的类推制度也因与罪刑法定原则相悖而被废止。可是 ,社会现实的纷杂与法律的滞后与不周延带来的问题仍然存在并亟待改观 ,故在罪刑法定原则的基础上提出建立刑事判例制度以弥补这一界隙是必要的。     

International cooperation in stockpiles and tariffs for coping with oil supply disruptions

This paper provides a unified treatment of oil stockpiling and demand restraint as policy responses for enhancing energy security and examines the implications of recent changes in the structure and performance of the international oil market for the design of policies. These issues are addressed using a dynamic programming framework in which international policy actions of key oil-importing countries are modeled as a Nash dynamic game. Significant policy implications from the analysis include: (1) the result that, with realistic assumptions about disruption risks and inventory capacities, differences between noncooperative and coordinated stockpile policies appear to be minor and (2) significant mutual gains could be reaped from a modest degree of collective restraint on normal market oil demand. The broader role of international cooperation in enhancing energy security is also discussed.
