多模态语篇中的视觉识读策略

后印刷时代,多种符号资源被用来构建意义,视觉图像和设计成分日益成为人们表征意义和传递信息的重要手段。传统的文本识读策略已无法满足读者解读多模态语篇的需要。运用适当的视觉识读策略,熟悉特定社会文化语境中各种符号资源的意义潜势,是识读多模态语篇的必需。基于多模态语篇、多元识读及符号学相关理论,提出一个分析、解读多模态语篇的视觉识读策略框架,以拓展读者的视觉识读技能,增强其构建和识读多模态语篇的能力。     

区域贸易协定条款深度对进口二元边际的影响研究

随着全球多边贸易自由化受阻,区域贸易协定(RTA)逐渐成为一国开展经济战略合作与竞争的重要手段,中国的外贸政策也正由原来的注重出口逐步调整为进出口并重。以2003—2019年中国已签署的RTA为研究对象,通过构建多种衡量RTA条款深度的指标,深入分析了条款深度变化对中国进口二元边际的影响。研究发现:总深度指数、核心深度指数、“WTO+”深度指数及“WTO-X”深度指数的提升对中国进口扩展边际的影响不显著,但均能显著促进中国进口集约边际的增长;RTA灵活度的增加会削弱RTA条款深度对中国进口集约边际的促进作用;降低双边贸易成本及缩减双边制度距离是RTA条款深度促进中国进口集约边际增长的重要渠道。异质性分析显示:RTA条款深度的提升显著促进了来自发展中经济体和发达经济体进口集约边际的增长,但显著抑制了来自发展中经济体进口扩展边际的增长;相对于农产品的进口二元边际,RTA条款深度的提升仅显著促进了工业品进口集约边际的增长。为更好地发挥RTA促进进口的积极效应,中国应加快签署深度RTA,同时积极推进与发达经济体之间RTA的谈判与合作,有选择性地设置RTA条款的灵活度。     

Young people's orientations to the future: navigating the present and imagining the future

This article discusses the findings of the Imagine Sheppey project (2013–2014) which studied how young people are ‘oriented’ towards the future. The aim and approach of the project were to explore future imaginaries in a participatory, experimental, and performative way. Working with young people in a series of arts-based workshops, we intervened in different environments to alter the space as an experience of change – temporal, material, and symbolic. We documented this process visually and made use of the images produced as the basis for elicitation in focus groups with a wider group of young people. In this article we discuss young people's future orientations through the themes of reach, resources, shape, and value. In so doing, we reflect on the paths that our young respondents traced to connect their presents to what is next, what we call their modes of present–future navigation. We explore the qualities and characteristics of their stances within a wider reflection about how young people approach, imagine, and account for the future.     

Spaces of Pride: A Visual Ethnography of Gay Pride Parades in Italy and the United Kingdom

Gay pride parades represent an active site of production of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT), intersexual and queer identities, featuring a spatial and social articulation of political and human rights claims. While the multiplication of these events in different countries suggests the existence of a coherent and cohesive community which shares the same collective identity beyond national borders, different patterns in the organisation, part-taking and social and political connotations given to these events can be observed in different contexts. By means of a comparative visual ethnography of Italian and British Gay Pride Parades, this article investigates how the creation, mobilisation and challenge of quasi-normative LGBT identities occur within the spatial context of gay pride marches. It is argued, in particular, that while gay pride parades are sites in which the socio-political status quo can be successfully challenged, participants are also faced with the possibility of falling prey to dynamics of identity commodification and homonationalism which may ultimately deprive their claims of their subversive potential.     

Testing Treatment-Covariate Interaction in a Nonparametric Analysis of Covariance Model

We consider a recently introduced nonparametric model for Analysis of Covariance and derive an asymptotic test for interaction between covariate and treatment. Furthermore, we suggest data depth techniques to obtain joint confidence regions for the covariate effects in this model.

The finite sample behavior of the asymptotic method is evaluated in simulations. Application of the procedures is illustrated using an epileptic seizures and chemotherapy data set.     

Regression Depth with Censored and Truncated Data

Abstract

In this article, we consider the problem of estimating regression coefficients for a linear model with censored and truncated data based on regression depth. Any line can be given a rank using regression depth and the deepest regression line is the line with the maximum regression depth. We propose a method to define the regression depth of a line in the presence of censoring and truncation. We show how the proposed regression performs through analyzing Stanford heart transplant data and AIDS incubation data.     

Resampling-based Classification Using Depth for Functional Curves

The depths, which have been used to detect outliers or to extract a representative subset, can be applied to classification. We propose a resampling-based classification method based on the fact that resampling techniques yield a consistent estimator of the distribution of a statistic. The performance of this method was evaluated with eight contaminated models in terms of Correct Classification Rates (CCRs), and the results were compared with other known methods. The proposed method consistently showed higher average CCRs and 4% higher CCR at the maximum compared to other methods. In addition, this method was applied to Berkeley data. The average CCRs were between 0.79 and 0.85.     

不忘初心：基于央视宣传片百年政党多模态形象建构研究

央视形象宣传片《我是谁》是中国共产党建党95周年以来的首部公益广告,具有重要的时代意义和研究价值.结合视觉设计语法、评价理论和“宣传片”的图像、文本和声音语料建立“宣传片”多模态形象诠释框架,探索“宣传片”建构党的形象的过程与范式.研究发现:一是“宣传片”图像的再现意义体现接地气的创意理念,互动意义展现与受众间的平等权势关系,构图意义揭示青年群体是目标受众的精准定位;二是“宣传片”文本重点建构人际意义的协商语义,从客观视角而不是主观情感刻画党员群体爱岗敬业的务实作风和百年政党一心为民的赤子之心;三是“宣传片”音乐、旁白等声音能够有效增强受众全方位了解党的形象塑造,从而尽快接受党为人民服务的不变“初心”.     

线形态艺术在现代平面广告设计中的解读

线形态艺术作为现代平面广告设计的视觉表现元素之一,已成为现代平面广告创意表达的基本视觉语汇。但由于设计师常常将线作为平面设计元素的形式去创造表现图形,而忽视了线形态本身的艺术魅力和情感表达,致使现代平面广告中的一些有关线的表述缺乏深层次文化性,本文试从现代平面广告设计向当代多元化艺术设计的转向中,以线形态本身的艺术形态魅力结合其实际应用来重新解读线形态艺术在现当代平面广告设计中的价值与涵义。
