Communication and representation of risk in health crises: the influence of framing and group identity / Comunicación en crisis sanitarias y representación del riesgo. La influencia del framing y la identidad grupal

Based on the Social Representations Theory (SRT) applied to the social construction of risk and the role played by group identities, this study examines the construction of risk created by the mass media in health epidemics. An experimental design with split-ballot questionnaire and 319 participants was used in which message framing (human interest vs. attribution of responsibility) and proximity (high vs. low) were manipulated for a high invulnerability identity (youth) vs. a low invulnerability identity (elderly) population. Results showed that the human interest framing increased the perception of risk, especially when the proximity of the epidemic was high; this effect was explained by people’s emotional response. Furthermore, youth projected the risk towards ‘the other’ in order to protect their invulnerability identity. Finally, we stress the importance of the SRT on a theoretical and applied level for risk communication in health crises.     

Separations: A Personal Account of Bowen Family Systems Theory

This paper is a personal account of my own family of origin research. It explores the impact of separations from parents, nuclear family, and extended family through a Bowen family systems theory perspective using concepts pertaining to Bowen theory such as chronic anxiety, differentiation of self, multigenerational family process, and the emotional system. An outline of the process of doing research in ‘vivo’ with my mother as well as conversations with my supervisor are included. Theoretical differences between individual and system models are discussed. A Bowen theoretical approach to the anxiety of separations is investigated. The efficacy of engaging in family of origin work and the effects of thinking systems is examined in light of how it assisted me to view family members, family system disturbances, and clients’ emotional systems more objectively.     

哲学､哲学研究及其与政治的关联——兼论《第179号“科伦日报”社论》的当代意义

《第179号“科伦日报”社论》中,马克思关于哲学的本质是理论与实践的高度统一、哲学研究是求真、哲学必然要介入社会政治等问题的看法,既是马克思在整个《莱茵报》时期的思想基础,是破解马克思当时碰到的“三件难事”的发生及其往后的思想转变的钥匙;也是马克思哲学的本质特点,有助于理解和把握马克思主义的真精神及作为“实证科学”的历史唯物主义的本性.它对于我们当前的马克思主义研究在研究立场和方式上亦有重要启示意义.因此,该社论不能被简单当成马克思思想过渡时期的作品,而应引起学界的应有重视.     

Cyborg Writing as a Political Act: Reading Donna Haraway in Organization Studies

Extending the works of scholars who have elucidated writing as the quintessential site for social transformation, the aim of this article is to locate the myriad possibilities for actualizing Donna Haraway's concept of cyborg writing in the field of organization studies. I contend that cyborg writing functions as a discursive mechanism by which to disrupt Enlightenment ideals of Cartesian duality, objectivity and rationality. These ideals inform the very structure of masculine privilege that emerge from having a society that is organized along androcentric values. Situating the scholarship of Jo Brewis, a contemporary scholar in the field, I illuminate how cyborg writing can be practised effectively, whereby greater richness is imparted into conceptualizations of, and theorizing on, organizational and management phenomena. I conclude with a discussion of the implications of cyborg writing, and with the identification of two trajectories that scholars can pursue in future studies. Progress along these two paths will move towards actualizing the feminist project for gender egalitarianism.     

Theorizing the social: Émile Durkheim's theory of force and energy

This paper offers a new interpretation of Émile Durkheim's The Elementary Forms of Religious Life (1912) as the basis for reconsidering the Tarde–Durkheim debate of 1903 and the distinctions between a theory of social force and a theory of social assemblage. Resisting traditional interpretations of Durkheim's scientism, this essay traces how concepts of force and energy are centrally developed in Elementary Forms to draw new lines between epistemology to ontology for twentieth-century theory. I argue that Durkheim develops an ‘energetic epistemology’ that conceives of the human capacity for shared meaning as a product of invested energy in the form of continually enacted and evolving material practice, thought, and attention. According to Durkheim, when a member of a collective perceives a god or feels belief, he or she actually perceives the accumulated energy of on-going creation and maintenance of objects and ideas by members of a collective. Sacred objects, images, and ideas bear the trace of collective energy the more they are carefully crafted, maintained in spaces that are specially arranged, and written into behavioural codes. This reading of Durkheim allows us to consider him in a lineage of social constructivists and, particularly, in relation to Ludwik Fleck, who has been largely confined to different theoretical discussions when his contributions to sociology have been acknowledged at all. By reconsidering Durkheim, we have occasion to rethink his sociology and understand how he redrew the lines between thought and action, between epistemology and ontology, through the material framework of energy and force.     

政府适度干预简论

自由竞争经济下,资本家的过分自利行为造成了市场失灵,因此政府以一种"调控人"的身份对市场失灵进行干预,而长期的政府干预不可避免地出现了"政府失灵"。传统政府干预理论认为这种现象是由于经济法未完全生效的原因,并依此提出双向干预说,期望利用经济法克服政府失灵。但实际上政府失灵是经济法的一部分,对政府失灵的克服只能是完善经济法自身,具体措施可以引入适度干预学说:第一,引入契约机制的互动干预体系;第二,建立责任与干预相统一的问责制度;第三,将克服"政府失灵"列入除经济法以外的合适法律形式。     

近现代中国画论与民族精神之考释

从新文化运动到抗日战争爆发之前,关于中国画的论争成为一个突出的文化景观。各种派别的论者对于绘画整体功能的认识相当一致,并不约而同地将其上升到国家、民族复兴的高度。抗日战争时期,各画种都为民族救亡作出了积极贡献,文艺家们的画学思想中关于民族复兴、民族精神的倡导更加鲜明有力。当代关于中国画体现民族精神的提法与近现代史一脉相承,并融入了民族文化复兴的主流。     

现代学科分类中的“文学人类学”

从现代学科分类情况来看,"文学人类学"主要被放置在人类学、比较文学、文艺学三个学科里,成为三个学科的亚分支,这反映了"文学人类学"目前的现实状况及地位。本文无意争辩学科从属的问题,而是从知识话语学角度探讨现代学科分类体系对"文学人类学"可能造成的遮蔽性。
