舶来与本土化:澳大利亚殖民主义时期哥特式小说研究

在英美文学界,自从20世纪80年代以来,随着文化研究的发展,哥特式文学得到了热烈的讨论和研究。然而,由于白人历史不够悠久,澳大利亚长期以来被认为缺乏哥特式小说滋生的古堡文化,因而,哥特式小说在澳大利亚的新发展也未引起学术界的广泛重视。考察哥特式小说在澳大利亚殖民主义时期进行移植的可能性并且梳理哥特式小说在澳大利亚的本土化新发展,既可以拓宽澳大利亚文学研究的视野,也可以丰富哥特式文学研究。

论被遗忘权的本土化移植

随着信息技术的高速发展,公民的个人信息和个人隐私极易遭受滥用和侵害。以达成数据主体对于个人信息的主动自决意愿为内驱动力的被遗忘权,欧美发达国家因符合其政治需求和价值主张而广泛确立。虽然被遗忘权权利本质亦与我国社会发展实际相契合,且国内的立法司法实践也为其培育了移植基础,但被遗忘权在我国的本土化移植仍然面临诸多障碍,如信息技术瓶颈、商业风险增加、现有制度衔接低效等。从厘清被遗忘权基本概念、建立专门信息保护机构、构建商业化个人信息储存及使用机制、明确被遗忘权救济渠道与规则以及升级信息保护技术等方面为切入点,寻求被遗忘权本土化移植的解决思路。     

Culture, state and varieties of capitalism: a comparative study of life insurance markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan

This article examines the interplay between local culture, the state, and economic actors' agency in producing variation across markets. I adopt a political-cultural approach to examining why life insurance has been far more popular in Taiwan than Hong Kong, despite the presence of a cultural taboo on the topic of premature death in both societies. Based on interview data and documentary references, the findings reveal that as an independent state, the Taiwanese government heavily protected domestic insurance firms during their emergence. These domestic firms adopted a market-share approach by re-defining the concept of life insurance to accommodate the local cultural taboo. The colonial Hong Kong government, on the other hand, adopted laissez-faire policies that essentially favoured foreign insurance firms. When faced with the tension between local adaptation and the profitability of the business, these foreign firms chose the latter. Their reluctance to accommodate local cultures, however, resulted in a smaller market. I argue that state actions mediate who the dominant economic players are and that the nature of the dominant players affects the extent of localization. Specifically, the presence of competitive domestic players alongside transnational corporations is more likely to produce varieties of capitalism.     

‘America’ in Indian Advertising: Change and Impact

The aims of this article are threefold: One, to focus on the advertising and marketing communications situating the presence of the USA in India. Two, to address three issues concerning the where, how, and impact dimensions of marking the US presence in Indian advertising. In that process an attempt will be made to integrate three aspects of advertising, namely: marketing, media, and linguistics. Three, to account for US corporate culture as it manifests itself in advertising. Central to our discussion are two product types: consumer products (e.g. Coke, Pepsi, Kellogg’s cereals, or Cadbury’s chocolates) and socially-sensitive, or ‘taboo’, products (e.g. condoms, alcohol, and breath fresheners).

Piloting a social work doctoral programme: Ukraine’s vignette

In Ukraine the last decade was marked by significant changes in social work education development that evidence its academization and professionalization. International cooperation was a useful catalyst in these processes. The above has specific implications for developing the three cycles of social work education in Ukraine – Bachelor, Master and PhD programmes. Implemented in 2009–2012, an international project involving six European countries supported piloting of the first PhD programme in social work in Ukraine. This programme encountered a set of challenges that originated from the particularities of social work education in Ukraine and the broader academic context. Participatory observations and reflections demonstrate the challenges evident in Global North–Global South professional relations. Ukrainian social work education history evidences permanent localization of the international standards and experiences that have had various effects on social work academization.     

中国社会工作专业人才培养模式初探

中国社会工作专业人才培养模式的讨论与优化对建构一支结构合理、素质优良的社会工作人才队伍有重要作用,对满足社会需要、促进社会发展也有不可估量的影响。国内社会工作专业人才培养模式存在很多缺陷。中国要想发展专业的社工队伍就要改革现有的人才培养模式,应依托需求发展社工教育、实行正规教育与短期培训有机结合,并进行分层分类发展的社会工作专业人才培养模式,从而达到加速社会工作专业职业化和本土化进程,促进社会工作良性发展,满足社会需求的目的。     

中国社会的巨大变化与中国社会学的坚实进展--以社会运行论、社会转型论、学科本土论和社会互构论为例

纵观中国社会学发展的轨迹,我们可以看到它经历了一个曲折进程———自觉不自觉地处理着与中国社会现实、与中国学术传统,尤其是中国历来的社会思想、与外国社会学和社会思想的关系以及中国特色问题———在本土化与国际化的结合中体现自己的特色,实现自己的创新。为了能展示这一特点,本文想通过以下四个在中国社会学界有一定代表性的理论来加以证实,即社会运行论、社会转型论、学科本土论和社会互动论。     

“知止”三义与文化认同

中国古代思想中有一个很重要的观念——“知止”。“回到你自己”是“知止”的根本义。这涉及到今人所关注的“认同”问题:自我的认同和文化的认同。从内容上讲,知止这一观念强调的是文明与自然的内在贯通。由此,知止的观念又展开为三重意义:回归自然、回向历史与成德知本。此三义辐辏于第二义而贯通为一体。其特点则表现为一个“复古”的历史精神。但“知止”并非故步自封,止步不前,而是要在“进”与“止”之间保持一种内在的张力和协调的关系。“知止”观念从存在实现论意义上凸显了一种历史的精神和思想文化的差异原则。这对于当代中国的文化建设,仍具有重要的理论价值和实践意义。
