Interviewing Working-Class Gay Men Over the Internet

SUMMARY

Nine working-class gay men were interviewed over the Internet in relation to their life experience and their resilience in a homophobic, violent and AIDS infected world. The themes that emerged are consistent with the psychosocial focus of previous ethnographic research. These men appeared happy and content with their lives, adapting effectively to environments that are more accepting and supportive than previously assumed in the literature.     

Rethinking Theory

‘Capitalist racist patriarchy’ is how Zillah Eisenstein (1998 Eisenstein, Z. R. 1998. Global Obscenities: Patriarchy, Capitalism, and the Lure of Cyberfantasy, New York: New York Press.  [Google Scholar]) characterizes global inequalities and the hierarchies of ‘difference’ they constitute. This article assumes that feminist theory aims not only to ‘empower women’ but to advance critical analyses of intersecting structural hierarchies; that this entails not only a critique of patriarchy but its complex conjunction with capitalism and racism; and that such critique requires rethinking theory. Through a critical lens on devalued (‘feminized’) informal work worldwide, the article explores how positivist, modernist and masculinist commitments variously operate in prevailing theories of informality – including those of feminists – with the effect of impeding both intersectional analyses and more adequate critiques of capitalist racist patriarchy.     

The narrowing sex differential in life expectancy in high-income populations: Effects of differences in the age pattern of mortality

Using data from the Human Mortality Database for 29 high-income national populations (1751–2004), we review trends in the sex differential in e(0). The widening of this gap during most of the 1900s was due largely to a slower mortality decline for males than females, which previous studies attributed to behavioural factors (e.g., smoking). More recently, the gap began to narrow in most countries, and researchers tried to explain this reversal with the same factors. However, our decomposition analysis reveals that, for the majority of countries, the recent narrowing is due primarily to sex differences in the age pattern of mortality rather than declining sex ratios in mortality: the same rate of mortality decline produces smaller gains in e(0) for women than for men because women's deaths are less dispersed across age (i.e., survivorship is more rectangular).     

Gender Differences in Activity of Daily Living of the Elderly in Rural China: Evidence from Chaohu

ABSTRACT

Using data from a sample survey, “Well-being of the elderly in Anhui province, China,” this paper studies the effects of health, economic and family factors on the activities of daily living (ADLs) as measures of disability for elderly men and women. The objective is to explore reasons for gender differences in ADLs in rural China. Our results suggest that higher incidence rates of chronic diseases, lower cognitive ability, as well as heavier household and daily care burdens of females, are the main factors leading to a higher prevalence of ADL disability for the female elderly.     

地理空间视角下我国区域教育发展差异研究

我国区域教育发展不平衡,从地理空间上看主要影响因素有：区域间地理位置差异和区域间地形、地势差异等制约因素。推动区域教育均衡、协调发展不仅是全面落实以人为本,科学发展观的需要,而且是落实西部大开发,东、中、西协调发展,提高我国人口素质、改变贫穷落后面貌,推动小康社会建设的需要。从国家层面、社会层面和中西部教育落后地区探讨缩小差距,对推动区域间教育均衡、协调发展有着重要的现实意义。     

贸易政策不确定性对企业出口升级的影响研究——基于出口技术复杂度的角度

世界经济的下行风险和贸易保护主义使得出口企业面临的贸易政策不确定性增加,为探究贸易政策不确定性对企业技术升级的影响,从出口技术复杂度的角度,基于2000—2007年中国海关贸易数据库和中国工业企业数据库的匹配数据,利用中国加入世界贸易组织及获得与美国的永久正常贸易伙伴关系地位为准自然冲击,通过倍差法实证模型,研究贸易政策不确定性下降对企业出口技术复杂度的影响效应,并对倍差法模型的有效性进行检验; 探究贸易政策不确定性下降作用于企业出口技术复杂度的具体影响机制,划分贸易方式、企业类型和企业出口行为进行异质性分析。研究表明:贸易政策不确定性的下降对企业出口技术复杂度起到了促进作用,这种促进作用以扩大企业出口规模、增强企业创新能力为直接与间接的影响渠道,在加工贸易企业上的表现明显大于一般贸易企业,在民营企业、外资企业和存续企业上的表现也十分显著。为争取稳定有利的外部环境,国家需要做好长期战略部署和发展规划的,加快构建中国与其他国家的多边贸易体制; 企业需要聚力突破关键技术,加快促进数字化转型,建设以我为主的全球价值链。     

中、英语言与文化差异

语言与社会文化的发展是一脉相承的。从词语的文化内涵不同导致词汇空缺现象,词汇联想和文化现象的差别导致语义不同以及词汇的语义和文化内涵的不等值加以论述,特别是通过有关动物、数字、颜色等方面词汇的对比来探讨中、英两种语言与文化的差异以及这些词汇在中、英两国读者中所产生的相同的、特别是不同的联想等。     

现代性语境下的群体身份问题——对查尔斯·泰勒承认政治的一种考察

基于普遍主义原则,自由主义对个体进行了无差别化的处理,剥夺了附着在个体身上的群体身份,忽视了群体认同的意义和价值。在查尔斯·泰勒看来,这种将个体权利优先于集体目标的平等尊严政治在使人们从封建等级制度中解放出来的同时,却又使个体陷入到普遍主义的控制之中。这种不尊重群体差异性的做法,其实质是不认同、不承认差异性,最终会造成歪曲的认同。合理的做法应该是将平等尊严政治与差异政治结合起来,不同群体之间要交流和沟通,进而建构一种包容性的政治。     

东中西部地区商品流通业对经济增长影响差异的分位数回归分析——基于中国地级市市辖区的数据

利用分位数回归分析法,对2009年中国256个城市的商品流通业和经济增长之间的关系进行分析,研究结果表明:对于各个分位数,东中部、东西部地区GDP差异和制度性差异都大于0;在大部分分位数下,制度性差异是地区GDP差异的主要原因,特征差异为次要原因。另外又从产业结构、交通状况和观念等角度进行了分析。最后基于实证结果有针对性地提出了政策建议。
