Naturing the Nation: Aliens,Apocalypse, and the Postcolonial State

The purpose of this study is to understand how the British Canadian Frank Schofield transformed himself into an established missionary scholar and nobleman in Korea. The study employs its framework from the structure of cultural exchange itself in its survey of Schofield's career. It examines the relevant aspects of Korean and Western cultures, and the characteristics of Schofield who linked them. The case, including themes significant both to Korean and Western cultures, such as the importance of spirituality, an emphasis on education, and the ideals of justice and love, explains reasons for his success as a cultural mediator between Korea and the West. It reveals that the flow of information and ideas between Koreans and Schofield illustrates the ability of intercultural contact to influence the initiating as well as receiving culture. It suggests that such a distinction between sender and receiver may carry little ultimate significance. Finally, it argues that individuals of different cultures can convey information and ideas effectively only if the conveyer learns about the target individuals for the information and ideas, and communicates on the basis of that knowledge, as intercultural communications occur between the individuals of different cultures.     

Reversed preservation of stochastic orders for random minima and maxima with applications

In this paper, reversed preservation properties of right spread order, total time on test order and increasing convex (concave) order when taking random minima and maxima are developed. In this context, reversed preservation properties of some ageing concepts are investigated under parallel (series) systems which are composed of a random number of i.i.d. components. Some applications in reliability and economics are given.     

北宋书序作者所选择的传播因素分析

书序具有重要的传播作用,以北宋诗文集序为对象考察,书序作者在选择推动传播的因素时,对作品艺术性、知识性等文本因素的关注不如对作家身份、生平轶事等非文本因素普遍。其中原因,从书序作者的操作层面来看,是因为在书序中进行文艺批评是很难把握的;从面对读者的传播效果层面来分析,是因为非文本因素较之文本相关的评论因素可以产生显著的传播效果。于是,非文本因素在文学传播中变成了一位无形的操纵者,虽然它不是长远的传播之道,但却常常起着奇妙的传播作用,从而给书序这一文体增加活力。

Methodological Approaches to Assessing Risk Perceptions Associated with Food-Related Hazards

The psychometric approach developed by Slovic and his co-workers has been effectively used to assess risk perceptions associated with different food-related hazards. However, further examination (using questionnaire data and partial correlation techniques) has indicated that technological hazards are highly differentiated from lifestyle hazards, in terms of both hazard control and knowledge about the hazard. Optimistic bias was also seen to vary between hazards. Further research has focused on a particular hazard, genetic engineering. Risk perceptions associated with genetic engineering are underpinned by ethical concern and questions relating to perceived need for the technology, as well as perceptions of risk or harm. However, increasing the specificity of hazard stimuli was found to alter the factor structure of underlying risk perceptions. The utility of preference mapping procedures in determining individual differences in trust in risk regulators is also discussed.     

英语语用失误分析及对策

从分析语用失误的分类出发,着重分析了日常语用失误的成因,并着重探讨了在英语教学中,如何培养学生的语用能力及如何避免因文化差异而带来的跨文化语用失误,以期减少或防范跨文化交际中的语用失误。     

论跨文化交际中的话语系统

跨文化交际学是一个新兴的学科,通过对跨文化交际中的一个重要概念话语系统及其四个相互紧密关联的组成要素,即思想体系、"面子"体系、话语模式和社会化的深入分析,阐述了话语系统在跨文化交际中的重要性;以中西方文化为例,指出不同文化在话语系统的四个方面具有较大的差异,而这些差异将会导致跨文化交流中出现误解甚至交际的失败.对于第二语言教学领域来说,如何提高习得者的语言交际能力已经成为教学的重要目标,而对于目标语的话语系统的了解是成功地进行跨文化交际的关键.

从汶川大地震看中国的危机传播

汶川大地震是进入21世纪以来中国最大的一次灾难性危机事件,也是对中国执政党和政府的危机管理能力以及对中国新闻传媒的危机传播能力一次前所未有的考验.应当说在危机的爆发期内,中国政府和媒体都交出了一份令世人满意的答卷,使我们看到了中国在危机管理和危机传播方面的巨大进步,受到社会公众和国际社会的普遍赞誉.目前,已进入危机的恢复期,认真评价和总结在这次危机事件中危机管理和危机传播的经验教训是危机管理的题中之义,对于提高我国政府危机管理的能力和我国新闻传媒危机传播的水平亦具有重要意义.     

我国各民族交往交流交融的空间生产与实践路径

各民族交往交流交融是铸牢中华民族共同体意识的路径选择。民族社会结构的存在和发展为各民族交往交流交融提供了可实现的行动空间及空间生产基础,运用空间生产理论对民族交往交流交融的空间生产与空间结构进行分析,即各民族交往的物质空间生产是基于共同利益与互惠发展的经济交往、各民族交流的符号空间生产是注重共有价值和情感寄托的文化交流、各民族交融的精神空间生产是强调生活互嵌和共生体验的精神交融。基于此,加强各民族交往交流交融的实践路径应是推动民族地区经济交往,构建以平衡互惠为原则的多民族经济圈;促进民族乡土文化交流,发展以情感共鸣为重心的乡村文化中心;深化各族群众生活交融,规划以结构互嵌为内核的社区公共空间。通过上述路径,达成铸牢中华民族共同体意识的根本目标。
