The impact of anti-Vietnam demonstrations upon national public opinion and military indicators

In an attempt to assess the national impact of anti-war protest, 15 major anti-Vietnam demonstrations occurring in the United States from 1965 through 1971 were analyzed for their effects upon Gallup public opinion survey data, American troop strength, and American munitions expenditures. While weak and short-term counterproductive effects appeared for two opinion indicators, an equally likely conclusion is that the demonstrations had little or no lasting impact whatsoever. The possible reasons for this finding, and its social implications, are discussed.     

《圣殿》中的决定论色彩

“中国画屏”上的景象——论毛姆眼里的中国形象

在英国作家中,毛姆的作品最具异国情调。他凭借丰富想像力所构设的艺术世界,显现着浓郁的域外风情,同时也呈示着那种以欧人心态观照异国的文化视角。他来中国追寻的是古代的荣光,昔日的绚烂,因为他心目中的中国是在汉唐盛世甚至是在庄子的《秋水篇》里。透过他那画屏上的古典中国形象,我们也看到了西方文化优越感心理作用下的傲慢与偏见。

Reconceptualizing the Self Phenomenon: Toward an Emic Conception of the Self

In sociology, the self has been conceptualized as either self‐concept or the process of self‐reflectivity. Both notions of the self have been traced to the early thinkers—William James, Charles H. Cooley, and George H. Mead—who laid the foundation for the scientific study of the self phenomenon. In this article, I propose a revised conception of the self based on a re‐reading of the classics. I argue that the self is related to but not the same as self‐concept or the process of self‐reflectivity. The self is an emic object, that is, the entity that one takes oneself to be. More specifically, the self is the empirical existence of an individual perceived by the individual to be his or her own. As the identity the individual finds in his or her existence in a world shared with others, the self is a product of both self‐reflection and self‐enactment. Implications of this reconceptualization for some broad issues related to the self phenomenon are also discussed.     

论福克纳创作中的贵族神话

福克纳的小说创作带有浓厚的贵族意识,形成了在贵族的信念、认知及思想体系支配下所建构的贵族神话。“贵族神话”概念建立福克纳的贵族意识与其艺术世界的关联,从批判的视野可以观照福克纳创作中在贵族看来是绝对真实、对他者来说却具有蒙蔽性和虚构性的神话思维。     

Commodity prices and the world distribution of income

Some advocates of a new international economic order recommend raising prices of commodities exported by developing countries as a means of reducing the inequality of world income distribution. A simulation model using commodity trade data and income distribution data for 68 industrial and developing countries examines this policy alternative. Initial data compilation reveals that internal inequality is as important as international: The world income share of the poorest 40% of people would be twice as high in the absence of intracountry inequality. Calculations using actual price experience in the “great inflation” of 1972–1975 show that despite the large relative price changes for some commodities (especially oil), these changes left the world size distribution of income virtually unchanged. Separate policy simulations show that even a quadrupling of the price of ali “equalizing” commodities (those mainly exported by LDCs) would leave the size distribution of world income practically unaltered (even under optimistic assumptions about intracountry distributional incidence), although some individual LDCs would gain. Increasing commodity prices therefore appears to be an ineffective means of increasing international equity, quite apart from questions about the feasibility of cartels or commodity agreements.     

知音少，弦断有谁听——早期福克纳研究及其在中国

(一)尽管早在1929年，来自田纳西州的南方女小说家伊芙林·斯各特(Evelyn Scott)对《喧哗与骚动》的评论被本·沃森认为是对福克纳的“第一次认真评价”，但那却是为了招徕顾客，由出版社策划的商业行为。①对福克纳的认真研究大致始于1931年。由于《圣殿》中的暴力和恐怖，193
