美学的命运——论数码时代的人文事业

随着数码时代的到来,人文文化面临着更为严峻的冲击,美学则首当其冲,其学科的重建已势不容缓。但深入地看,美学面对日新月异的审美文化现象所表现出来的失语症,主要在于它并未真正发挥自身的作用,而并非美学言说本身不再拥有意义。通过人文学科的文化自审和对美学史的重新审视,当代美学能够重新拥有自己的学术生命。

流通厂商的空间区位决定及其投资选择

流通产业较之于制造业在许多方面有着异同点,当注重考察它们在空间区位决定上的相异之处时,我们就会追溯到对流通厂商投资选择的分析。本文把流通厂商以利润最大化为目标所采取的商业网点和仓储的布局、运输路线和商业业态等的规划,理解为流通产业的空间区位决定,而将流通厂商在这一决定过程中所采取的手段、步骤和谋略等,解释为流通厂商的空间区位决定过程中的选择。文章的分析脉络和着重点在很大程度上是把流通厂商的空间区位决定,看成是商业网点和仓储布局、要素流动、运输路线和商业业态等规划的函数,试图通过对这种函数关系的分析,揭示出流通厂商投资选择的一般行为,从而在理论上为政府规制政策的制定提供一些有价值的思路。     

惆怅的献祭--《纯真年代》中阿切尔的伦理选择及动因诠释

以二十世纪初的纽约上流社会为伦理语境，追溯《纯真年代》中男主人公纽兰·阿切尔的情感成长历程。通过对阿切尔与埃伦七次约会的回顾，探析阿切尔在面临婚外爱情时是怎样以及为何最终做出回归家庭这一伦理选择的。阿切尔对其婚姻伦理身份的回归是惆怅的，对家庭伦理秩序的重建是悲情的，这是对老纽约社会道德秩序的一份惆怅的献祭。     

Strategic pricing with reference effects in a competitive supply chain

The reference-price effect refers to the demand deviation caused by consumers’ perceived losses or gains when the current market price of a product differs from a cognitive benchmark (known as a reference price) formed by the customers based on past prices. The impact of such a reference effect on the dynamic pricing policy of a monopolist has been widely studied in the literature. However, despite the importance of the topic due to the growing transparency of price information in the Internet era, its relevance in the context of a distribution channel has never been explored. In this study, we consider a supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer in a bilateral monopoly setting. The two channel members independently choose their pricing strategies to optimize their own benefits in the presence of consumers’ reference-price effects. Based on a deterministic demand function, we derive the equilibrium prices and analyze the resulting profit sensitivity with respect to various factors that crucially shape the reference effects. We conclude that both the centralized and decentralized channels should want consumers to have a higher initial reference price, be more sensitive to the reference-price effect, and be more loyal to their product.     

翟理斯英译《聊斋志异》的道德和诗学取向

由于受译者所处的维多利亚时代道德风尚的影响，翟理斯在其英译《聊斋志异》中对原文中不符合清教道德规范的性爱描写进行了删除或改写。另外，因为19世纪下半叶英国小说总体摈弃了作者或叙述者在文本中做“插入性评论”的叙事手法，翟理斯对原作故事末尾处的作者评论性文字“异史氏曰”部分全部删除。译者的这种翻译处理，源于当时英国小说的兴盛和自足。     

Detecting Variance Change-Points for Blocked Time Series and Dependent Panel Data

This article proposes a class of weighted differences of averages (WDA) statistics to test and estimate possible change-points in variance for time series with weakly dependent blocks and dependent panel data without specific distributional assumptions. We derive the asymptotic distributions of the test statistics for testing the existence of a single variance change-point under the null and local alternatives. We also study the consistency of the change-point estimator. Within the proposed class of the WDA test statistics, a standardized WDA test is shown to have the best consistency rate and is recommended for practical use. An iterative binary searching procedure is suggested for estimating the locations of possible multiple change-points in variance, whose consistency is also established. Simulation studies are conducted to compare detection power and number of wrong rejections of the proposed procedure to that of a cumulative sum (CUSUM) based test and a likelihood ratio-based test. Finally, we apply the proposed method to a stock index dataset and an unemployment rate dataset. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.     

本雅明眼中机械复制时代的文艺审美特征

20世纪初是继19世纪资本主义高速发展后西方文艺从古典向现代递变的时期，此期的文艺作品生产者、文艺作品以及文艺作品接受者较前代有了极大的转变。本雅明目睹了这种变化，并对各种文艺现象进行研究，提出了此期文艺审美的特征。     

明代中国棉桑及其地理分布

棉桑作为明代的主要经济作物，在农业发展中的地位不可忽视。其中棉花种植十分普及，并有江花、北花和浙花三大种系，并以此形成了三大植棉区；桑的分布则是南长北衰，尤其是随着明中后期桑蚕业的发展主要分布在江南地区。文章旨在通过探讨这两大经济作物的分布，来从侧面了解其对明代农业及社会经济的影响。
