淡出关注视野的香港文学研究--从"人大复印资料"、《读书》刊载的文章看大陆近年学术研究热点的变化

以1979年至2004年的"人大复印资料·中国现代、当代文学研究"和<读书>作为考察对象,通过对学界具有一定权威性的期刊用稿倾向的分析,点评近年大陆学界的香港文学研究状况,从批评视野的限制、理论与方法空间的调整及其有效性等方面的考察入手,指出目前大陆学界的香港文学研究走向学术升级的症结所在:就现象研究而言,须摆脱传媒热点问题的干扰,在流行文学以外给文艺小说更多的关注,发掘出真正具有文学史意义的作品;就学科理论体系的建构而言,需要建立具有理论生发能力和原创性的学术话题来促进学术研究水平的提升,此外,学术评价体制对学科研究前景的影响也不容忽视.     

从上博简《民之父母》"五至"说论《孔子家语·论礼》的真伪

从"五至"说的比较来看,<孔子家语·论礼>篇"子夏侍坐于孔子"章与<礼记·孔子闲居>篇及楚简<民之父母>篇所据祖本不同,<家语·论礼>篇所记更真实,更符合原意,并非抄袭<礼记>而来.     

Live-in Foreign Domestic Workers and their Impact on Hong Kong’s Middle Class Families

This paper discusses the impact of foreign domestic workers (FDWs) on parental roles and family dynamics of Hong Kong’s middle class families. The increase in married women’s labor force participation in Hong Kong has led to a greater demand for childcare, which has been filled by FDWs. Based on interviews with 15 dual-earner couples in middle class nuclear families employing FDWs, how FDWs affect the mother’s gender role and family dynamics is discussed. Boundary work is used by parents in their daily interaction with their children and their FDWs so as to reconcile the perceived indispensability of these workers on the one hand, and the challenges they pose to the definition of parenthood on the other. This research was funded by a Lingnan University Social Sciences Program Research Grant RES/SOC010/978. I am grateful to the guest editors and two anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments.     

Development of a Dose‐Response Model for SARS Coronavirus

In order to develop a dose‐response model for SARS coronavirus (SARS‐CoV), the pooled data sets for infection of transgenic mice susceptible to SARS‐CoV and infection of mice with murine hepatitis virus strain 1, which may be a clinically relevant model of SARS, were fit to beta‐Poisson and exponential models with the maximum likelihood method. The exponential model (k= 4.1 × l0²) could describe the dose‐response relationship of the pooled data sets. The beta‐Poisson model did not provide a statistically significant improvement in fit. With the exponential model, the infectivity of SARS‐CoV was calculated and compared with those of other coronaviruses. The does of SARS‐CoV corresponding to 10% and 50% responses (illness) were estimated at 43 and 280 PFU, respectively. Its estimated infectivity was comparable to that of HCoV‐229E, known as an agent of human common cold, and also similar to those of some animal coronaviruses belonging to the same genetic group. Moreover, the exponential model was applied to the analysis of the epidemiological data of SARS outbreak that occurred at an apartment complex in Hong Kong in 2003. The estimated dose of SARS‐CoV for apartment residents during the outbreak, which was back‐calculated from the reported number of cases, ranged from 16 to 160 PFU/person, depending on the floor. The exponential model developed here is the sole dose‐response model for SARS‐CoV at the present and would enable us to understand the possibility for reemergence of SARS.     

新加坡英语与香港英语词汇特点比较

新加坡英语和香港英语在许多方面具有共性和差异,在词汇上表现得尤为明显。新加坡英语的构词方式主要包括借词、译借词、杂交词、创新词和习语等五种,而香港英语则较少出现杂交词,借词的种类也相对单一。新加坡英语和香港英语在词汇方面的异同体现了英语与本土语言文化的交融,也反映了两地社会生活、语言政策、身份象征等因素对英语使用的影响。     

日本传本《古文孝经》回传中国考

《古文孝经孔传》当是汉魏以后长期流传的《孝经》注本之一 ,未必是孔安国所作 ,其书在梁末亡逸。隋朝开皇十四年以后 ,经刘炫之手又出现了所谓的《孔传》本 ,对于其真伪问题当时即有争议。此本在隋唐时期传入日本 ,而五代以后在中国却已佚失。《古文孝经》在日本的传授源流是清楚的 ,祖本当是隋唐旧本 ,非日本人伪造。日本江户时代学者太宰纯校刻的《古文孝经孔氏传》正是以日本足利学所藏刘炫《孝经直解》本为底本 ,参校众本 ,旁及他书所引 ,更加音注而成。此书回传中国 ,在清朝学界产生了较大影响 ,也引起不少争议。     

香港人类学:学术研究与学科建设

本文从学术研究与学科建设的双重视角出发,简要论述香港的人类学研究,并从大学、学会、期刊出版、学科带头人等几个方面呈现20世纪七八十年代香港人类学学科建设状况。文章认为,从学科建制的历程重新认识香港人类学,能够为我们全面了解中国民族学与人类学史提供重要的参考。同时,从香港这样一个特殊地域的学术研究与学科建设出发,我们也可发现建设新世纪人类学的多元路径。     

Generational conflict and provisions for the elderly in Hong Kong: The relevance of position‐based interest and values

Respect for the elderly and hence the associated rights support a generational contract. Nevertheless, the case of the recent debate on the universal retirement scheme in Hong Kong has raised concerns about its strength. We identify relevant items from the sixth wave of the World Values Survey to explore the orientations of different generations toward others. The analysis shows differences between younger and older generations. Regression analyses show that values are not significant in explaining the differences, but various positions, including sex, marital status, and education, and perceptions of the elderly are relevant. Such differences across generations might weaken the generational contract and potentially engender conflicts as shown in the recent debate about the retirement scheme. We suggest short‐ and long‐term interest calculations, informed by their positions, play a more significant role in policy discussions and decisions, rather than simply appealing to values.     

Rethinking mediated political engagement: social media ambivalence and disconnective practices of politically active youths in Hong Kong

Social media have been widely credited for facilitating young people’s political engagement, most notably by providing a conducive platform for political expression. There has been comparatively little attention, however, to the possible pitfalls for young people when they engage in politics on social media. In this study, we seek to redress the overemphasis on the strengths and connectivity of social media by attending to how young people negotiate their drawbacks and disconnectivity. Through in-depth interviews with young participants of Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement, we examine the choices and motives regarding mediated (non-)participation among a group of politically active youths. Our findings revealed that these young people’s social media ambivalence emerged from the major participatory experience. Despite their active and open informational sharing and political expression on social media alongside their in-person participation during the eventful protest, many young participants became wary of such expressive use owing to their perceptions of de-energization, disconnectedness, and disembodiment. Instead of completely withdrawing from political activities on social media, these politically inclined and technologically savvy youths embraced “disconnective practices” – passive engagement (lurking), selective expression (moderation and exposure-limitation), and offline participation (embodied collective action) – to avoid the overwhelming, fractious, and inauthentic conditions of mediated participation.     

都市女性欲望的透视——张爱玲“香港传奇”与施叔青“香港故事”比较

张爱玲与施叔青分别在20世纪40年代与80年代创作了多篇以香港为题材的小说。她们以独特的女性视角指出了都市女性苍凉的生存困境，并揭示了女性原始而又恒久存在的“原罪意识”。在物欲和情欲的支配下，张爱玲笔下的女性成为男性的附庸，无法活出自我，逐渐沉沦下去。而施叔青小说中的女性虽然曾一度沦为物质的俘虏，但大多能走出来自省，从欲望中觉醒，获得新生。
