Migration and Aging

Abstract

This paper is based on a study in Zimbabwe of older people over age 60 living in Harare, Mutare, and villages up to 50 km from these two cities. The major areas studied were the types of migrants, preferred residence, and their overall life satisfaction. Interviews were carried out by unemployed school dropouts from the two cities, especially trained for the job. The results showed that the rural-urban migrants constituted the largest group, while returnee migrants were the smallest. Among the respondents were also foreign, rural-rural, and non-migrants. There were significant differences by location and gender. Three-quarters of the respondents preferred to live in a village than in a city. Returnee migrants were consistently the most satisfied, and those who had not migrated, the least. Policy implications are discussed.     

城乡“漂流”的行迹与“新颢气”的追寻——鲁迅人生轨迹与精神线索再考察

鲁迅的生命历程呈现出螺旋上升的整体轨迹,富含着复杂的心灵密码.舍弃中小城镇而选择大城市,摒弃传统城镇而选择现代都市,可谓鲁迅城市之行中的内在逻辑,其心态也呈现出规律性的变化.鲁迅的城乡之途实质上是一条生命跋涉和文化选择之路.鲁迅恰以走向城市为契机,以“新颢气”的现代文化精神为指针,永恒不懈地选择、探索,从而克服“脑力顿锢”的委顿心态,摒弃“村人”、“木偶人”、“人如机器”的角色,寻求“活”的生命状态,蜕变为现代社会充满“活”力的“捣乱”者,实现思想的自觉.     

也论美学的对象与学科定位——兼与孔建平教授商榷

对于美学研究的对象．历来争论颇大,学界一直有不同意见,迄今尚无定论。中西方对美学研究对象的不同解说,正表明这个问题本身的繁难,也表明相关因素的复杂。对美学研究对象的不同看法,我们不但要知道其在不同阶段对美学研究对象的不同特征,更要利用历史的辩证观点分析其产生的原因,这样我们才能对不同看法的得失做出更有根据的评判,从而把握今天我们美学的研究对象究竞是什么。

“Feeling for Beauty”

ABSTRACT

May Morris (1862–1938), renowned craftswoman and daughter of William Morris, had an unconventional Victorian childhood in a home where all the members of the family were engaged in various forms of aesthetic labor, either as amateurs or professionals, and shared an aesthetic philosophy that blended the artisanal and the experimental from which would develop the Arts and Crafts movement. This article will examine the fragmentary recollections of her childhood recorded by May Morris in the introductions she wrote for the twenty-four-volume edition of The Collected Works of William Morris as a rich resource for Victorian sensory history because of the emphasis she places on the development of the child's sensorium, especially in relation to touch as the vital sense that linked family intimacy with creative activity. Employing the term “tactile aesthetics,” I show how, in the Morris household, the pleasurable sensual apprehension of the objects or materials worked by the hands of the craftsperson was inseparable from the complex feelings of connection with others. In such an environment, a feeling for beauty comprised a vital component of habitus, the embodied knowledges and aptitudes that, according to Pierre Bourdieu, are acquired from earliest childhood through the practices of everyday life within a specific social setting.     

多元主体协同治理下的我国城市社区研究

随着社会利益多元化的时代变迁和社区建设的发展,治理理论和协同思想逐渐被运用到社区领域。社区协同治理的思路可以概括为社区公共事务社会化,其本质是国家与社会关系的再调整与治理结构的转变。多元主体协同治理的社区模型更注重治理过程中各种社会力量多元化目标的有效凝聚与整合,实现各种力量整体功能的优化和重组,从而实现社会整合的总体目标。     

城市美学：经验、理论与方法?

学科意义上的城市美学既不从属于城市规划,也不等同于景观设计,它以城市及主体的审美意识和全部活动状态为研究对象,其通过对主客分离的审美模式的突破来完成对传统美学的超越,而从“艺术哲学”走向“城市美学”意味着传统“如画性”的审美模式转向当下“多感官体验”的审美模式。

宋代美学的休闲旨趣与境界

宋代美学在追求理性的同时,又走向生活,走向休闲。艺术的生活化和生活的艺术化,促使中国的休闲文化在宋代全面兴起乃至繁荣。宋代艺术审美在趋于精致化的同时也越来越贴近日常生活,艺术与生活的充分融合成为宋代的审美风尚。宋人一方面在生活中追求艺术境界,另一方面在艺术中追求生活情趣,由此催生了宋代美学的休闲情调。“玩物适情”所昭示的美学旨趣便是艺术与生活的双向融通,是宋代美学重视生活并落实于生活的体现,它所反映的休闲内涵则包括了宋人对休闲的本体认同、“适”的工夫实践以及超然物外的境界追求。     

中原经济区城镇化进程中城乡文化资源融合优化路径研究

中原经济区城镇化进程中城乡文化资源融合存在流动不畅、国际化进程缓慢、政策和金融支持不到位、智能资源欠缺等问题。其产生的根源是思想观念落后、经济体制缺陷、政策法规滞后、管理体系不完善。因此,城乡文化资源融合必须实现优化,路径在于加强管理体制创新,完善政策保障机制;落实公共财政制度,健全金融支持机制;加大资源宣传力度,培育环境保护机制;深化市场体制改革,规范市场监督机制。
