Attracting Micro‐Enterprises To Learning

Micro‐enterprises, i.e. firms with less than 10 employees, are traditionally the hardest to engage in learning; they are also least likely to participate in such measures as business advice and guidance provision and initiatives to support information communication technology (ICT) adoption. Through a community‐based initiative initially targeting parents (unemployed or employed) to participate in ICT, 30 micro‐enterprises were attracted to learning for the first time. These companies had carefully avoided similar initiatives taking place locally, which emphasized business success and growth; they had only participated in this ICT skills training because of their children. The paper takes a case study approach to evaluate the reasons for participation, explores barriers and implications for those organizing similar activities, and calls for a more holistic view of owners and managers of small firms as fathers, mothers, etc. rather than just as ‘entrepreneurs’.

Imagined Memories

Most discussions of popular music on the Internet focus on the utopian potential of new file-sharing technologies, yet applications that reproduce existing inequalities also deserve attention. Webcasting is the streaming (transmission) of digital video to multiple recipients in cyberspace. Paul McCartney's Webcast from the Cavern was a landmark case. It was a digital package staged for reproduction, and yet it felt live; in this article I explore why and offer a two-part explanation. The first part is that "live'-ness is based on an increasingly false opposition to recording, but, because that opposition still remains, Little Big Gig could seem live by adopting some trappings associated with it. The second part is that Internet use is mediated by daily life and computer users brought their own desire to the Webcast, in particular desires to see a Beatle play in the Cavern. Webcasting is an unanticipated use of the Internet that is being used to support corporate interests. With its widespread publicity, Little Big Gig helped naturalize that process.

中国传统音乐美育思想及其现代转型

在中国传统文化中音乐美育思想十分丰富。早在两千多年以前就备受中国儒家的重视,他们视音乐为道德教化的理想手段,甚至认为音乐美育还有淳化社会风气、和谐社会的作用。但由于过多地强调音乐与政治的关系,也使音乐美育带有一定的缺陷。随着近代社会的转型,西方音乐美学思想也影响到我国音乐文化的变革,在实践的摸索中,中国近代的音乐美育思想有了较大的转向,中国的有识之士顺应时代的要求,引进了西方的美育思想,并将之与中国传统文化相结合,形成了新的特色。     

人间自是有情痴--读徐志摩的《我等候你》

徐志摩的情诗是他爱情生活的留痕,《我等候你》是他对陆小曼痴情的见证。这首诗不仅体现了徐志摩的爱情观、生活观,即追求爱、自由与美;也体现了他的艺术观,即诗歌的目的不是表现政治理想,而是抒发内心情感。这首诗按情感的自然流动分行,不讲究压韵和格式的整齐,具有浓厚的散文风格,同时兼具绘画美与音乐美,被认为是他最好的一首抒情诗之一。     

Reconsidering the Evolution of Nonlinguistic Communication: The Case of Laughter

Nonlinguistic communication is typically proposed to convey representational messages, implying that particular signals are associated with specific signaler emotions, intentions, or external referents. However, common signals produced by both nonhuman primates and humans may not exhibit such specificity, with human laughter for example showing significant diversity in both acoustic form and production context. We therefore outline an alternative to the representational approach, arguing that laughter and other nonlinguistic vocalizations are used to influence the affective states of listeners, thereby also affecting their behavior. In the case of laughter, we propose a primary function of accentuating or inducing positive affect in the perceiver in order to promote a more favorable stance toward the laugher. Two simple strategies are identified, namely producing laughter with acoustic features that have an immediate impact on listener arousal, and pairing these sounds with positive affect in the listener to create learned affective responses. Both depend on factors like the listener's current emotional state and past interactions with the vocalizer, with laughers predicted to adjust their sounds accordingly. This approach is used to explain findings from two experimental studies that examined the use of laughter in same-sex and different-sex dyads composed of either friends or strangers, and may be applicable to other forms of nonlinguistic communication.
