Social media processes in disasters: Implications of emergent technology use

This article seeks to extend social science scholarship on social media technology use during disruptive events. Though social media's role in times of crisis has been previously studied, much of this work tends to focus on first-responders and relief organizations. However, social media use during disasters tends to be decentralized and this organizational structure can promote different types of messages to top-down information systems. Using 142,786 geo-tagged tweets collected before and after Hurricane Sandy's US landfall as a case study, this article seeks to explore shifts in social media behavior during disruptive events and highlights that though Sandy disrupted routine life within Twitter, users responded to the disaster by employing humor, sharing photos, and checking into locations. We conclude that social media use during disruptive events is complex and understanding these nuanced behaviors is important across the social sciences.

江南文化精神的“在”与“说”

在今天阐释江南文化精神，有两个方面需要特别关注，就是江南文化的“在”与“说”。前者属于存在论问题，主要是江南自然、社会与人文的存在现状；后者属于语言本体论问题。主要是有没有人可以把江南文化的“在”讲清楚、说出来。在“怎么说都行”的后现代文化中，关于江南的“说”比关于江南的“在”显得更加重要与紧迫。以“江南诗性文化”为核心范畴的“江南美学与文化”研究，以区别长江文化与黄河文化为空间背景，追溯江南文化的文化背景与渊源；以区别江南文化与齐鲁文化为区域背景，揭示江南文化的诗性与审美本质；以江南轴心期为理论基础，还原江南美学与文化的历史生成；以江南城乡差别为解释框架，探索江南城市诗性文化的精神结构，推动了江南文化从实学向美学的学科飞跃，是研究者进入江南最重要的学术配置与基本的主体条件。

当代文化批评语境中的"图像转折"

当今的后现代消费社会使得人们需要审美地来观赏甚至消费艺术作品,因此以图像为主要表现媒介的语像写作应运而生,这是一种历史的必然。语像写作可以满足广大读者/观赏者的审美需求,这就要求从事语像批评者必须具备更高的读图能力。语像写作及其批评的崛起,并不意味着人类文字表现能力的衰落,而是观赏阐释能力的提高。在新世纪的“后理论时代”,语像批评虽然处于边缘地带,但是它必定会和生态批评、性别批评、流散批评等新崛起的批评流派,共同组成理论批评的多元格局。由于中国有着象形文字的基础和读图的传统,因而语像写作及其批评在中国有着广阔的发展前景。     

There's more to the picture than meets the eye: Measuring tangible and intangible capital in two marginal communities in rural Denmark

A missing link in economics has been what Veblen in 1908 termed intangible capital. This includes common norms, trust and high levels of cooperative performance. Intangibles are invisible to the eye and not easily measured in quantitative terms. They nevertheless involve visible, socioeconomic outcomes and should therefore rightly be seen as productive, like tangibles. Thus, uneven levels of intangible capital would explain Differential Economic Performance (DEP) between, say, two firms containing exactly the same stock of physical, economic and human capital. Despite this common sense observation, most economists have failed to see that ‘there's more to the picture than meets the eye’, as Neil Young once sang. We use statistical, historical and fieldwork data from two Danish, marginal rural communities both rich on intangible capital. This to show how intangible capital in the form of social, organisational and cultural capital is accumulated and utilised in situ, at the microlevel. We suggest that the difference between these two, very similar communities should be explained in their varying ability to utilise local stocks of tangible and intangible capital. Drawing on seminal ideas from Bourdieu [The forms of capital. In: Richardson, J.G. (Ed.) Handbook of Theory and Research for the Sociology of Education. Greenwood Press, New York, Westport, CT and London, 1986, pp. 241–58] and the DORA project [Bryden, Differential economic performance in rural areas. In: International Conference on Rural Communities and Identities in the Global Millennium. Malpasino University College, Nainamo, BC, Canada, 2000], we want to develop a ‘total capital’ assessment tool for mapping and measuring socioeconomic development in marginal rural communities. In this way, we hope to count in ‘all’ capital as Schultz [Investment in human capital. In: Kiker, B.F. (Ed.) Investment in Human Capital. Columbia, 1971, pp. 3–21] prophesised. This in order to explain what we term Differential Local Development (DLD), where ‘good’, sustainable development is associated with high economic performance and increase in population.     

Distance education and international social work education

As a result of the development of new communication technology, distance education has become a rapidly growing area over the last few decades. Market and commercial pressures are major factors in its developing impact. Distance education has also been applied to social work education. Because it is a small field it may be both positively and negatively affected. Social work education requires face-to-face communication training. Educators need to respond to the limitations of distance education technologies and processes to provide for cultural and linguistic diversity, through openness to joint work across different cultures, anti-standardisation and -discrimination, reflexivity, user control and resources, and cultural and language translation.

对《文物保护法》有关民间收藏文物诸条款的若干思考

2002年10月28日颁布实施的《文物保护法》将原法“私人收藏文物”更名为“民间收藏文物”，并由原来的3条增加到10条。新《文物保护法》对民间收藏文物诸条款的规定，一方面能够适应社会主义市场经济体制建立后所面临的新情况，另一方面在管理制度和政策上有利于实行适度开放的政策，从而达到规范市场，使民间收藏文物有序流通的目的。
