Mobilizing resistance: the Burberry workers' campaign against factory closure

This paper draws on mobilization theory, frame analysis and community characteristics to explore a high‐profile campaign by a largely female workforce against the closure of a clothing plant owned by the international fashion house, Burberry. It analyses the particular factors associated with their mobilization and examines the workforce's propensity to act collectively, having exhibited little indication of a clear definition of its collective interests in the past. The paper highlights the central importance of perceived substantive and procedural injustice among the workforce, together with the ways in which geographic location and community characteristics reinforced their willingness to fight the closure decision. The paper concludes by considering the wider implications of this campaign for mobilization theory.     

Laying or delaying the groundwork? A critical framing analysis of Australia’s National Disability Strategy from an implementation planning perspective

National disability strategy implementation is challenging. Competing needs and interests of government and different stakeholders mean that implementation is rarely straightforward. This study undertakes a critical framing analysis of publically available responses to the draft implementation plan for Australia’s National Disability Strategy (2010–2014) provided by five peak disability organisations. We seek to understand the frames that peak bodies advocate in order to further the interests of people experiencing disability while mapping these against the broader Australian disability policy context and good policy practice more generally. Our research reveals that the peak bodies promote frames which focus on consistency, responsibility, resourcing, inclusivity, co-production, innovation, leadership, accountability and language. In relation to these frames, the final government implementation plan demonstrates a shift in which process-related frames of resourcing and innovation are incorporated into the plan while the other predominantly actor-oriented frames are excluded and thus represented as natural and incontestable.     

构建我国财务会计概念框架的思考

西方发达国家及国际会计准则委员会都非常重视财务会计概念框架的研究,并已建立了各自的财务会计概念框架体系。我国于1992年发布的《企业会计准则》,部分地充当了财务会计概念框架的角色,曾发挥了极其重要的作用。随着客观经济环境的发展变化,借鉴西方的研究成果,建立我国的财务会计概念框架体系,并以此取代《企业会计准则》,已是大势所趋。     

Relational Frame Theory: An Overview of the Controversy

Although Skinner''s Verbal Behavior (1957) was published over 50 years ago, behavior-analytic research on human language and cognition has been slow to develop. In recent years, a new behavioral approach to language known as relational frame theory (RFT) has generated considerable attention, research, and debate. The controversy surrounding RFT can be difficult to fully appreciate, partly because of the complexity of the theory itself and partly because the debate has spanned several years and several journals. The current paper aims to provide a concise overview of RFT and a summary of key points of debate and controversy.     

艺术的“画框”效应界定艺术的一种尝试

界定艺术一直是艺术理论上的难题,面对实践与理论上更加严峻的挑战,一些理论家转而寻求通过艺术与非艺术之间的界线来界定艺术。在这界线中产生的“画框效应”源于艺术的本性,包涵艺术的两大功能性特征：距离与突显。将它作为界定艺术的一种标准,即通过艺术的功能来认定艺术,虽然存在一定困难,却不失为一种有益的尝试。     

对绘制画框作为艺术初步形成标志的阐释

艺术问题需要还原为人的问题，寻找艺术的起源需要追溯到人类开始审美活动的地方。目前已知最早的画框以绘制的形态出现于人类走出蒙昧、步入文明的青铜时代。绘制的画框对观看行为做出了人为的框定，意味着蕴藏的艺术性因素已从原始巫术、劳动中分离出来，人与图像的互动方式由巫术仪式转向主体对客体的观看，并使图像的功能由企图操控现实的巫术转变为接近当今人们所理解的视觉叙事。绘制的画框是人的划界思维由潜意识转化为意识的表现，在生活与图像之间制造了距离，是绘画超越实用功能形成自由自觉的审美活动、脱离巫术仪式成为独立视觉文化部门的关键迹象。因此，绘制画框的出现可以视作艺术初步形成的标志。     

在线交易中认知需要对整合价与分离价感知的影响

整合定价和分离定价是目前在线交易中普遍使用的定价策略。以224个大学本科生被试,将实验情景控制为回忆驱动和刺激驱动两种信息感知模式,通过两个2×2情景实验,探讨在不同的信息感知模式下,面对整合定价和分离定价两种不同的价格表述框架时,认知需要不同的消费者对产品的价值感知和购买意向的差异。研究结果表明,在回忆驱动下,高认知需要的消费者在整合定价时比分离定价时对产品有更高的价值感知和购买意向,而低认知需要的消费者在两种定价策略下没有显著差异;在刺激驱动下,高认知需要的消费者在分离定价时比整合定价时对产品有更高的价值感知和购买意向,低认知需要消费者则正好相反。该结论对营销管理具有现实意义,营销者可根据广告媒介和目标顾客的不同来选择整合定价和分离定价。
