徐訏小说《彼岸》:因救赎而被赞美的海洋

对徐訏小说《彼岸》的研究有较多的成果,但是,海洋与海洋文化是两个被忽视的话题。《彼岸》是一个独特的文本,从文化、人情、哲学与宗教等方面看,它具有海洋文化的开放性与包容性。在《彼岸》,海洋不仅是叙述空间,更是书写、赞美的对象。露莲的神性、锄老与海洋融合的哲学是救赎迷狂现代人的资源,后者隐逸于海洋的人生境界是"我"的彼岸。《彼岸》深入海洋的灵魂,抒写海洋包容、博大的品性,讴歌海洋宗教的神性,对海洋审美内涵的挖掘与拓展独具一格。     

Thinking about biology and culture: can the natural and human sciences be integrated?

Genomic analyses have shown that only 1.2 per cent of the genome is devoted to protein coding sequences (the most commonly invoked definition of genes), and that much of the remaining sequences are employed in regulation – that is, in responding to signals, first, from the immediate environment of the DNA, but ultimately from the distal environment – from the cytoplasm, from the environment outside the cell, and finally, from the environment beyond the organism. Such signals are not restricted to the simple physical and chemical stimuli that impinge directly on the DNA, on the surface of the cell, or even on the body as a whole: organisms with central nervous systems have receptors for forms of perception that are not only more complex but far longer range. Humans have especially sophisticated perceptual capacities, enabling them to respond to a wide range of complex visual, auditory, linguistic and behavioural/emotional signals in their extended environment. Research has recently begun to show that responses to such signals can extend all the way down to the level of gene expression. The question is this: to what extent are we witnessing (at last) a rapprochement between the natural science of biology and the human sciences of sociology and anthropology, and to what extent do the new promises of synthesis merely reflect an expansion of older reductionist aims, threatening once again to marginalize rather than incorporate the insights of cultural analysis? As in my earlier discussion of the nature/nurture debate (2010), my focus will be restricted to the Anglo-American context.     

期待“全考古学”时代的到来——兼评《牛河梁红山文化遗址建筑设计思想研究》

由于考古学产生约两百年来一直被定义为研究“物质遗存”，同时又缺乏探讨遗迹、器物纹饰内涵的理论与方法，导致考古学在基本理论、方法上与其目标追求长期陷入困境与悖论，而浩如烟海的纹饰及一些遗迹的内涵始终处于考古学的边缘不得解读。故基本教义的考古学从理论、方法到实践都是残缺不全的。因此提出“全考古学”概念，主张将考古学研究的对象定义为“文化遗存”，同时将考古学研究划分为三个阶段：第一阶段“田野考古”及资料整理；第二阶段“室内考古”即读懂材料；第三阶段，探究社会历史发展规律等。“全考古学”在研究方法上是全方位的、立体交叉式的；当前，我们应该大力倡导和支持“全考古学”研究。董婕、朱成杰著《牛河梁红山文化遗址建筑设计思想研究》正是“全考古学”第二阶段的典型作品。     

The prospectus of activism: discerning and delimiting imagined possibility

This article aims to articulate a new agenda in the scholarship of social movements. Specifically, it seeks to turn attention to the assumptions that undergird activism. Rather than studying movements themselves, we can study them as the embodiment of collective expectation in a particular public. We can learn more about the broader society in which movements are embedded by asking how activists and the public they seek to engage determine what is within the realm of possibility. I refer to the imagined horizon of possibility as the activist prospectus. To illustrate the importance of prospectus, I draw upon a case study of environmental activism in Samara, Russia. Ethnographic observation and analysis yield insights into subjective perceptions that help explain the weakness of civil society within Russia.     

项目管理中的企业文化建设研究

随着项目管理机制在企业经营中应用范围的逐步扩展、深度的逐渐增强,项目管理中企业文化建设的意义日益凸显。然而,由于中国项目管理起步较晚,企业文化对于项目管理的促进作用还没有得到有效发挥,项目管理中的企业文化建设还存在着一些问题,如难以形成共同价值体系、制度贯彻不彻底、缺乏考核体系等。为了保证项目管理中企业文化建设进程的顺利推进,需要在项目管理中企业文化建设的实施和控制活动中求同存异、整合员工价值观,做到刚性管理与柔性管理相结合;同时,要建立人才管理与培训机制以及良好的沟通渠道,不断提高创新能力,增强团队活力。     

Young adults in the United States and Benin reason about gendered cultural traditions

This study explored emerging and young adults’ reasoning about cultural practices in West Africa. American (Study 1, n = 78, M = 20.76 years) and Beninese (Study 2, n = 93, M = 23.61 years) undergraduates were surveyed about their evaluations of corporal punishment, scarification, and schooling restrictions in conditions where the practices had gender‐neutral or gender‐specified targets. In Study 1, the majority (69%) of American participants negatively evaluated the practices, especially when targets were female. However, the majority (73%) assumed the cultural practices were consensual. In Study 2, the majority (76%) of Beninese participants negatively evaluated the practices, and their evaluations did not vary by gender of the target. Few (10%) Beninese participants assumed the cultural practices were consensual. In both studies, emerging and young adults who initially judged practices positively changed their evaluations with a change in consent.     

Tilting at windmills: a cynical assemblage of the crises of knowledge

The essay offers one piece of a larger conjunctural analysis, in an effort to contribute to a better story of the contemporary organic crisis. It considers three elements of the complexity of the ‘crises’ of knowledge: First, it explores the increasingly felt social perception that knowledge (and the forms of authority that accompany it) has become less determined and determining, less identifiable, less effective, more troubled. It argues that one must think about these developments historically and contextually, rather than going along with the panic that has surrounded their increasing visibility in recent political events. Second, it considers some of the attacks on the university as well as some of the recent changes in the political economy and institutional forms of the academy. Finally, it argues that academics have failed to examine their own contributions to the crises of knowledge, failed to consider the ways their own cultures and practices can be located within rather than against the crises of knowledge.     

从革命文化到红色文化：一项概念史的研究与分析

方兴未艾的中国红色文化研究,首先需要面对的是从革命文化到红色文化的概念转换,这一概念转换以及与当下社会语境的关联,是当前文化研究中特别值得注意的学术现象,但学界对之探究甚少。这里尝试构建适应红色文化研究的概念逻辑,采用概念史的研究方法,对革命文化向红色文化的概念转换加以研究。革命文化与红色文化都是以革命为主导理念的文化形态;但红色文化同时还是当前特别值得关注的文化现象。这一概念转换是在重新认识革命与革命文化的时代语境下发生的,红色教育、红色旅游与红色文化产业开发,是红色文化兴起的主要契机,凸显了当前社会对革命文化的资源属性的高度重视,体现了后革命时代境遇下革命话语的转型。
