后殖民主义视角下的《地之国》解读

约瑟夫·奥尼尔的《地之国》被认为是近年来最出色的表现"9.11事件"后美国的作品之一,但字里行间表现出的后殖民主义特征才是其最引人瞩目之处。小说以回忆录的方式记叙了两个不同肤色、不同阶层的男人在美国的境遇和友谊。本文试图从后殖民主义理论出发,从移民的美国梦想、身份建构和文化认同几个方面阐释作品的深刻内涵,探索众多移民在西方文化中心论依旧盛行的今天,在全球化的时代获得物质和精神双重满足的途径。     

Enhancing the Career Planning Self-Determination of Young Adults with Mental Health Challenges

The impact of an intervention on the self-determination and career planning engagement of young adults with mental health challenges was studied. Sixty-seven young adults, 20 to 30 years of age, with mental health diagnoses (e.g., depression, bipolar disorder) were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Statistically significant greater increases were made by the intervention group versus the control group for self-determination and career planning engagement, and self-determination at least partially mediated increases in career planning engagement. With career planning self-determination interventions, young adults with mental health challenges might be able to achieve better career and life outcomes than is typical for this population.     

Need,well‐being and outcomes: the development of policy‐thinking for children's services 1989–2004

This paper describes how government policy thinking about the well‐being of children and young people developed between the Children Act 1989 and the Children Act 2004. These two Acts are milestone statements about how services to children in England and Wales should be delivered. It is an account informed by the author's own experience as a government adviser on children's social care over much of this period and supporting documentation. It traces the strands of government policy thinking about how to deliver services for children from children in need to the articulation of the five Every Child Matters outcomes. It argues that attempts to achieve coordinated service planning for children and young people played a significant role in the formulation of shared objectives and the articulation of child outcomes. However, it argues that looking at real outcomes exposes how children in the UK do relatively badly compared with other rich nations. It questions whether we can realistically expect our services to deliver significantly improved outcomes given the impact of enduring inequality in our society. This paper is dedicated to the memory of David Lambert CBE, former Assistant Chief Inspector of the Social Services Inspectorate in London, who died suddenly on 7 October 2010. He lent me articles to assist me in writing this paper.

青岛市社科类社团发展状况调研

青岛市社科类社团数量居山东省前列，与全国同类城市基本持平，社团设立具有时代特色，学科建设工作均衡发展。与此同时，青岛市社科类社团在自身和管理方面还存在一些问题，社团自身要逐步建立适应市场经济发展规律的工作和运行机制，加强学习，提高自律水平，不断强化人才队伍建设，引导社科工作者将研究重心转到地方经济社会文化发展上来，注重科研成果与社会联系的密切性和向现实转化的可能性。另外，政府也要进一步加大扶持力度，改善社科类社团发展的外部环境，提供财政支持，提供优惠政策，引导社会行为，出台有利于社科类社团发展的人才政策，细化完善社科类社团的管理制度。
