现代化与本土化：好莱坞与香港电影的双向互动——兼论香港电影复兴之路

好莱坞主要以制片体制、建立企业文化、垂直整合等现代化因素影响了香港电影；而香港电影则以重娱乐、重类型、叙事极致化以及中国武侠精神等本土特色影响了好莱坞电影。香港电影只有立足本土化，继续借鉴好莱坞的全球化和现代代策略，才能走向复兴。     

苌弘的史书形象嬗变与士人的精神传承

Planning and development control through lease conditions

The Hong Kong government has pledged to deal with the imbalance between supply and demand of housing. Given the innate constraints of limited land resources in Hong Kong and the extensive and expedient control enforced through lease conditions, the Hong Kong government can alleviate the long-recognized problem of housing shortage by modifying specific development conditions. Therefore, the supply of housing units can be changed at a faster pace to satisfy the requirement of private dwellings. Other factors affecting the property market in Hong Kong include land supply, economic issues, population growth, and income growth. Many studies, for example, Hui et al. (Monograph, Department of Building and Real Estate, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Hong Kong Government (Study of Housing Demand, Hong Kong Government Printer, Hong Kong and Study of Housing Demand Model, Hong Kong Government Printer, Hong Kong), have investigated in detail the impacts of these factors on the property market. However, little or nothing is known about the planning and development control through lease conditions. Therefore, this study particularly attempts to examine how the Hong Kong government exerts its influence in the local private residential market through changing the development conditions. These conditions will be studied separately and distinctively in order to capture their unitary effects upon the local private residential real estate market. Section 1 looks at Hong Kong's tenure system, followed by the deliberation of how planning and development control is done through lease conditions (in Section 2). 3 and 4 set out the analytical framework and report on the findings of how lease conditions affect property supply. The concluding section gives out recommendations.     

Psychological antecedents and motivational models of collective action: examining the role of perceived effectiveness in political protest participation

The present study examines Hong Kong citizens’ willingness to participate in the Occupy Central/Umbrella Movement. A representative adult survey (N = 816) was conducted before the Occupy Central protest in 2014. Regression analyses showed that the core psychological antecedents of political identity (psychological attachment to pro-democracy parties and Occupy activists), political efficacy (perceived effectiveness of individual and movement agency), ideology (dissatisfaction with the pace of democratization), and emotion (anger with the political environment) were significant predictors of likely participation. Measures of perceived effectiveness of the Occupy movement to achieve successful outcomes (i.e. its ability to influence public opinion, strengthen the pro-democracy cause in Hong Kong, and facilitate opinion expression) explained additional variance even after controlling for demographics and the core antecedents. An integrated motivational model of collective action was then tested using structural equation modeling. Findings are consistent with the extant literature. Moral convictions (democracy as a fundamental human value) served as an antecedent of identity, efficacy, ideology, and anger, while identity exhibited direct and indirect effects on participation through efficacy, ideology and anger. The model also pointed to a role for perceived effectiveness, supporting the idea that individuals are motivated by other potential outcomes of a protest beyond achieving its primary objective.     

CONSUMING SATELLITE MODERNITIES

Although the globalized world has multiple modernities, it retains a power vector which is centripetal to developed centres. I propose to use the concept ‘satellite modernities’ to refer to the magnetic sites between centres of high-modernity and developing modernites in the rest of the world. In developing countries, newly modernized cities are reproducing, hybridizing, and domesticating a simplified western modernity, a modernity that is in turn consumed by less developed cities and territories within the same regions. Throughout Asia, these satellite sites draw migrants from all over the region to realize the dreams of the global west in the relative security and comfort of regional localities. In this paper, I investigate the consumption histories and practices of immigrants who have crossed the cultural boundary of post-socialist China into the cultural spaces of Hong Kong in different periods of time. This is a mid-range theoretical exercise that attempts to ground such concepts as modernity, consumption, and identity formation in concrete boundary-crossing experiences of Chinese immigrants.     

断代诗学的突破与重构——评吴井泉的《20世纪40年代中国现代三大诗学研究》

吴井泉的《20世纪40年代中国现代三大诗学研究》通过对延安现实主义诗学、浪漫主义倾向的"七月"派诗学和"九叶"派现代主义诗学的理论形态、内涵、价值,以及相互间并峙、互补关系的研究,系统而深入地把握上世纪40年代中国现代三大诗学的观念、思想与精神,在断代诗学研究中具有相当重要的突破和重构之意义。     

说范晔《后汉书》帝纪后论

范晔《后汉书》帝纪后论 ,开篇未能脱俗 ,是其史论中一个败笔。然通观其帝纪后论 ,则清晰地揭示了东汉皇朝从中兴走向衰亡的几个转折 ,堪称卓识。以其同前人袁宏、后人司马光的史论相比较 ,亦可印证范晔的卓识。今人从中可以获得有益的启示     

诗歌语言的张力——以区缺的《对话》为例

诗歌的语言设计是特别的，艺术的，具有张力的。诗歌本身就要求诗歌语言承载或可以承载作为诗歌语言张力代表性元素的丰富意象。区供教授的诗歌《对话》（Dialogue）讨论了诗歌语言的选择和设计，特别是虚词或模糊语言的频繁使用，使得诗歌语言较其它文体语言更具有模糊芙学的要素和张力。即使表面没有意象的诗歌，有时恰恰也可以承裁或通过诠释承载更加丰富的潜在意象；这种现象取决于诠释者／读者／译者如何根据自己的个体经验具体诠释或翻译来填充诗歌的意象虚位。     

中国经济特区的时代使命

中国经济特区的基本经验有两条:从现实形态来分析,是选择、引进并坚持了改革的市场经济取向:从深层动力来总结,就是尊重与拓展对人的解放.中国经济特区具有双重新使命:从"改革"的意义上讲,是加快完成向市场经济的转型,继续当好改革开放的先锋队;从"发展"的意义上讲,是加快实现发展方式的转变,早日建成国际性现代化城市,构筑中国区域经济的新版图.国际性现代化城市的根本标志是具有个人权利、自由发展的现代核心价值观念的形成和与之相适应的市场经济、民主政治等成型的基本制度的确立.将传统的威权政府演进成现代的服务政府,既是政治体制改革的核心内容,又是转变发展方式的基本条件.从相当的意义上讲,"把香港请进来",既符合改革开放的根本方向,又能寻找到构建现代城市的简捷路径.     

萧红、张爱玲文学视角比较研究

作为五四时期中国文坛耀眼的明星，萧红和张爱玲以独特的女性视角，展现了那个时代人们的生存心理、生存状况。由于相似的人生经历和情感经历，形成了二人苍凉悲苦的作品基调，却又迥然不同的文风。如果说萧红以悲悯的目光注视着社会底层女性的生存状况，“哀其不幸”，那么张爱玲则是以“冷傲”的姿态站在女性之外对女性的生存加以审视，“怒其不争”。
