‘Seeing through their Eyes’: Towards Understanding Risk and Protection Perspectives of Young Bedouin Children in the Unrecognised Villages of the Naqab

This article is based on a participatory, context-informed study that examined perception of ‘risk’ and ‘protection’ among 30 Bedouin children aged four to five. It was conducted in the Bedouin unrecognised villages — Southern Israel and utilised photography, drawings and verbal explanations. The analysis yielded seven themes representing children’s perceptions of risk and protection. It indicated that children facing extreme adversity were aware of numerous risk conditions, including a lack of infrastructure and the fear of losing their homes, thus adversely affecting their well-being. Children’s insights, and suggested modes of protection, as the study findings reveal, are crucial for promoting children’s welfare.     

How do countries choose their monetary policy frameworks?

This paper investigates the determinants of countries’ choices of monetary policy framework. A brief narrative focused on groupings of countries motivates an econometric analysis which draws on previous work on the determinants of exchange rate regimes, bringing in standard factors as well as the trade networks of potential anchor currency blocs and the financial market depth that are emphasised in the narrative. The model turns out to be able to predict three quarters of countries’ choices, and there is no obvious systematic pattern in the errors. The results have important implications for how countries should choose their monetary policy frameworks.

Data depth and correlation

Summary: We describe depth–based graphical displays that show the interdependence of multivariate distributions. The plots involve one–dimensional curves or bivariate scatterplots, so they are easier to interpret than correlation matrices. The correlation curve, modelled on the scale curve of Liu et al. (1999), compares the volume of the observed central regions with the volume under independence. The correlation DD–plot is the scatterplot of depth values under a reference distribution against depth values under independence. The area of the plot gives a measure of distance from independence. Correlation curve and DD-plot require an independence model as a baseline: Besides classical parametric specifications, a nonparametric estimator, derived from the randomization principle, is used. Combining data depth and the notion of quadrant dependence, quadrant correlation trajectories are obtained which allow simultaneous representation of subsets of variables. The properties of the plots for the multivariate normal distribution are investigated. Some real data examples are illustrated. *This work was completed with the support of Ca Foscari University.

康德先验逻辑的基本问题

康德的先验逻辑对传统哲学特别是形而上学所运用的范畴在分类的基础上作了新的理解,指出了范畴作为思维的逻辑功能,是对感性直观的固有关系。这就决定了先验逻辑的基本问题是范畴与直观的固有关系问题。它构成先验逻辑不同于形式逻辑和思辨逻辑的根本点。     

小说的影像阐释及其意义解读

小说的影像阐释是当代影视剧生产的重要源泉,在视觉文化主导的今天,小说的影像阐释不仅使小说进入文字阅读和视听感知结合的“共读”时代,而且为影像作品提供了丰富的内容和形式。同时,小说的影像阐释已经对当代作家的小说书写、小说生成方式及小说传播形态产生了意义深远的影响。     

论敦煌壁画的透视

通过东西方的视觉观察方式和生存方式的不同,来反映东西方绘画在透视上的差异,以及通过这种透视差异而反映在绘画所表现的精神特征上的不同,有利于我们对中国的传统绘画和中华文化有更深层次的理解。     

论穆时英“新感觉”小说的视觉形式

通过对穆时英＂新感觉＂小说的两种文本形式进行细读,发现＂新感觉＂的形式构造源于两种新的视觉方式,即印象主义视觉和蒙太奇视觉,前者帮助确立了观察者的主体地位,后者进一步赋予这种主体以自由的能动性。在此意义上,大城市人的感觉与心理机制的改变乃是＂新感觉＂形式的深层机制,而这一改变又是由1930年代大城市上海的各种视觉技术共同促成的结果。     

山水浮雕的视觉空间表现——宝鸡凤县景观墙的创作感想

为了将自然景观与人文景观在空间与时间上进行结合,通过宝鸡凤县山水浮雕景观的创作实践,推进了视觉空间的现实转换,论证了视觉空间是客观性与主观性的统一、视觉空间是空间性与时间性的相互转换。视觉空间是一个全新的概念,有待于美术创作者、设计者、理论家和批评家进一步关注,不断丰富其内涵。
