赛珍珠在中国的接受

2008年是赛珍珠获诺贝尔文学奖70周年，但早在1930年，中国的赛珍珠介绍业已开始。在这近80年的时间里，中国赛珍珠接受走过了从20世纪三四十年代的褒贬不一到20世纪五六十年代的全盘否定再到新时期以来的逐渐走向公正客观评价的历程。特别是到了世纪之交，随着全球化时代的到来，提倡文化多元、推崇异质文化交流的赛珍珠及其跨文化创作越发引起世人的关注。政府部门、出版机构、大专院校和相关领域的学者全方位、立体化地合力研究赛珍珠及其作品，在翻译、研究、教学诸方面均取得了令人瞩目的成果。不妨说，赛珍珠已回到她所称为的“父国”——中国。     

文化研究:翻译学科的发展方向或建构策略

近年来我国译学界发生了所谓"文化转向",作为一种新的研究范式,文化研究的出现有其特定的根据和背景。它使得翻译研究从文本分析走出来,走向文本背后的社会话语与政治权力的结合,从而拓宽和深化了翻译研究的维度。我国翻译研究中文化转向的由来有其特定的根据和背景,文化转向更多地说是翻译学科建构的策略,而不应当是翻译研究发展的主要方向,因为文化研究的"反学科"性消弭了翻译研究的学科性。文化研究只能成为翻译多元研究中的一元,脱离语言本体,翻译研究将迷失自我。我们应当加强学科意识,向文化研究学习其开放性,在学科建设过程中保持自我反思,谨防沦为西方文化的附庸。     

浅谈经济学基础理论研究的重要意义

认识以社会化生产为基础的国有经济结构，需要对大量感性现象材料进行理性思考和逻辑加工，在对国有经济结构的理性认识基础上，才有可能对国有经济体制改革的经营形式等做出规划，社会主义经济发展历程为研究国有经济结构提供了实践基础．《资本论》所持的唯物史观立场、使用的辨证逻辑思维方法则，是其研究所需的学术基础。     

Perceptions concerning research integrity and the practice of data audit in the biotechnology industry

A survey was conducted in order to evaluate the responses of biotechnology executives concerning their perceptions of the frequency of questionable R & D studies performed in their companies and to assess the extent to which their companies voluntarily conducted data audits. Data audit was found to be commonly practiced on a voluntary basis by biotechnology companies, in contrast to its almost lack of practice by universities. However, public companies were more likely to practice data auditing than privately held companies. Moreover, the likelihood that managers suspected or detected questionable studies in their companies was significantly increased if the company practiced data auditing.     

Mobility and Privilege Within Queer Studies and University

In this essay, the author considers how classist divisions present within queer studies may well be exacerbated by the institutionalization of queer studies within university. In particular, she examines the class privilege that attends both queer theory's and university's deployment of travel metaphors. In both cases, the language of travel is the potentially empowering language of intellectual agility and social mobility. Importantly, though, both queer theorists' and university administrators' employment of travel metaphors often serves to reaffirm cultural hegemony, specifically to sustain rather than to examine and combat social oppression. This sad irony is particularly apparent when one compares university representations of commuter and residential students. Thus, the question that faces universities is how to keep queer studies critically queer so that universities can recognize and address the various forms or models of social mobility that are present on their campuses, commuter as well as residential.

Issues in Promoting Adult Foster Care as an Option to Institutionalization

Adult foster care is a semi-institutional living arrangement that stresses the importance of providing care in a family-like environment. This article examines the concept of adult foster care and some of the issues relevant to the development of such programs. Policy issues related to the implementation of programs are also discussed. As a unique option to institutionalization, adult foster care has much to offer if certain barriers can be eliminated or minimized.     

What do lesbians do in the daytime? Recover

This paper examines a narrative taken from an ethnographic interview, for the speaker's conversational construction of lesbian and other identities along with ideologized personal history. To tell her story, Marge shifts to the discourse style used in the meetings of addiction recovery groups. She prioritizes the recovery (twelve-step) program's coherence system, structuring her life story in conformity with its terms while narrating a complexly queered identity. Four analyses are given, beginning with a Labovian formal examination and proceeding with a consideration of three types of discourse echoing: interdiscursivity, intratextuality, and manifest intertextuality. This study demonstrates the analytical linking of nonpublic linguistic discourse to social discourses; individual identity construction to social construction (and its coherence systems); and personal history to historical eras. The paper adds the concept of a metalevel complicating action to narrative theory and develops a means of examining intratextuality for critical discourse analysis. It presents a revised view of essentialism for the sociolinguistic study of gender and sexuality.     

Social Policy at the 2004 Election

Social policy appeared to be a key battleground at the 2004 Australian Federal election. Opposition Leader Latham announced major policies on Medicare, family support and taxation, and schools funding during the election campaign. Using sample survey data from the Australian Election Study 2004, this paper analyses how these policies may have influenced voters. In brief, although a significant proportion of electors identified these issues as being extremely important to them when they were deciding about how to vote, many made up their mind about how to vote around the time of the announcement of the election or before. This mitigated the potential effect that these major policies could have on the election outcome. Nevertheless, these policies were important and Labor had a significant policy advantage amongst those who were late deciders about how to cast their vote.
