同情与理解:中西美学主体间性的互补

现代西方美学走向了主体间性,它从解释学角度,以审美理解来沟通人与世界,构建主体间性;而中国古典美学,是从价值论角度,以审美同情来沟通人与世界,构建主体间性。审美理解与审美同情是同一的,共同构成审美主体间性。因此,中西主体间性美学可以相容互补。     

Changes in small town social capital and civic engagement

Small towns are often depicted as places with many interpersonal relationships and generalized trust, or high social capital. Social capital is a resource which towns can use to solve problems and improve the local quality of life. In this paper, I determined if social capital and civic engagements have declined in small towns in the U.S. Midwest as has happened more generally and tested likely explanations for the change. Quantitative analyses of data from the U.S. Census, other secondary sources, and a longitudinal study of residents of 99 small towns were conducted. Findings revealed that social capital has declined, but one type of civic engagement improved. Towns in counties with more small farms in 1990 had more bonding social capital and civic engagement in 2004 than other towns when other factors were controlled. The proportion of local businesses had no impact on civic engagement and was negatively associated with one kind of social capital. Mixed findings about how income impacted social capital and civic engagement indicated a complex relationship. The retirement of the so called “civic generation” had minimal impact on social capital and civic engagement.

生命美学与超越必然的自由问题--四论生命美学与实践美学的论争

认识必然的自由即自由的客观性、必然性与超越必然的自由即自由的主观性、超越性之间存在着不可还原性.对于超越必然的自由即自由的主观性、超越性的考察,正是美学之为美学所必须面对的当代问题,也正是生命美学得以诞生的根本前提.审美活动并非意在对于美的寻找、反映,而是意在生命自身的提升.审美活动不是事实判断,而是价值判断,是对于生命活动自身的一种自由愉悦的揭示.审美活动完全应该成为人类生命活动中最根本的东西,成为人类在漫长的生命进化过程中为自己所创造的一种推动生命向前向上的动力之源.     

中国美学传统的新阐释--以生命美学作为阐释背景的《中西比较美学论稿》

美学界对于中国美学传统的研究,往往局限于主客二分的思维方式,往往潜在地以西方美学传统作为参照框架.生命美学的出现,从根本上改变了这一状况.生命美学能够以其全新的阐释框架与方法去深刻精辟地阐释中国美学传统,深刻地阐释以往的美学派别所已经阐释过的中国美学问题,独到地发现以往的美学派别所无法阐释、无法洞见的中国美学问题,从而在中国美学传统研究中真正地切入美的源泉和核心,为当代的中国美学传统研究别开洞天.

小说叙述语言的节奏性及其审美价值

小说的叙述语言由于意义的不断变化 ,其音质音色 ,声音力度 ,语音的长度都不断变化 ,产生出差异。这种差异的语言相间交错、大致匀称的重复变化就使叙述语言形成了鲜明的节奏。节奏性一方面使小说的叙述语言抑扬顿挫、错落有致、和谐悦耳 ,形成了声音层面的外形式美 ;另一方面不同节奏的语言使小说的叙事话语带上了不同的审美意味和情绪色彩 ,有效地加大了小说叙述语言的表现力。     

审美意识与文学翻译中文化意象的传递

本文从美学角度探讨了文学翻译范畴内文化意象翻译策略受译者审美意识制约的必然性,并从理性的高度研究翻译策略的选择原则,认为翻译是一有机统一的整体,译者对待文化意象的传递应给予积极地辩证地审美评价.     

Moral or civic ties? Deservingness and engagement among undocumented Latinas in non-profit organisations

As alternatives to mainstream institutions, local non-profit organisations (NPOs) are important sites for immigrant civic engagement; yet, there is little research on how immigrants negotiate the benefits of NPOs. We use ethnographic fieldwork and multiple in-depth interviews with 39 NPO staff and Latina immigrants in San Francisco, California. We offer new insights about how undocumented, low-income, Latina mothers – a group constrained by multiple barriers – negotiate direct assistance and civic engagement in NPOs. Although NPOs provide both direct services and civic engagement opportunities, we find that moral judgments within the broader anti-immigrant and anti-welfare climate impact how Latinas feel the need to ‘give back’ or ‘ration’ services in NPOs. Additionally, the expectation that direct services are an entrée for civic engagement has consequences for how Latinas negotiate deservingness and work to preserve their self-worth. For some, these expectations depress further engagement or drive intergroup divisions.
