制度变迁的经济原因与困难 ———使鹿鄂温克族裔文明兴衰的启示

一种文化的衰落背后,往往隐藏着现实的经济力量。使鹿鄂温克族传统文化的衰落,并不主要是因为生态移民政策的失误,也并不是由于对民族文化的保护不足所致,而是因为社会经济条件的变化,使得传统生产方式和相应的制度不再能适应人们的生存需求,而不得不被放弃。资源的日益稀缺,竞争的日益激烈,使人们必须寻找更有效的产权规则。但规则的改变,可能使得原来的强者成为弱者,成为变革的牺牲者或反对者。如何对不同主体的利益给予合理照顾和协调,是制度变革成功的关键。

人类学视角:文化调适的相对性——对华北农业可持续发展的再思考

文化的调适使人类能够在演化过程中生存,并在不同的环境中扩张。但文化的调适在特定的环境里具有相对性:文化在某一系列环境中是适应的,或在短时期内是适应的,却在另一系列环境中是不适应的,或在长时期内是不适应的。从文化人类学的角度,回顾与探讨华北地区农业文化调适环境的状况以及存在的非生态的文化调适,重新思考华北农业可持续发展的定位。     

Culture and Crisis Communication: Nestle India's Maggi Noodles Case

Extant theoretical paradigms in the field of crisis communication are organization-centric and do not adequately recognize the role of culture. The purpose of this essay is to analyze a crisis faced by Nestle India using the framework of global public relations which defines culture broadly to include political, economic, media, societal, and activist cultures. Our analysis revealed that a multinational corporation with over a century of presence in the country struggled to align itself to the complexities of the cultures of the host country. In the case of Nestle India, whereas environmental variables such as political economy and Westernization of urban India boosted the growth of its instant noodles, the multinational also struggled to cope with the rise of media corporatization, activist pressure and the vagaries of regulatory enforcement not to speak of cultural nationalism. It is evident that Nestlé's crisis response was governed more by its traditional corporate culture than by an ability to keep pace with the changing demands of its environment, leading to the amplification of an issue into a crisis. The study concludes that multinationals that ignore culture will be forced to pay a heavy price both in terms of reputation and the bottom line.     

Why do Asian Americans academically outperform Whites? – The cultural explanation revisited

We advocate an interactive approach to examining the role of culture and SES in explaining Asian Americans' achievement. We use Education Longitudinal Study (ELS) 2002 baseline data to test our proposition that the cultural orientation of Asian American families is different from that of white American families in ways that mediate the effects of family SES on children's academic achievement. The results support our hypothesis, indicating that: (1) SES's positive effects on achievement are stronger among white students than among Asian-Americans; (2) the association between a family's SES and behaviors and attitudes is weaker among Asian-Americans than among Whites; (3) a fraction of the Asian-White achievement gap can be accounted for by ethnic differences in behaviors and attitudes, particularly ethnic differences in family SES's effects on behaviors and attitudes. We find that Asian Americans’ behaviors and attitudes are less influenced by family SES than those of Whites are and that this difference helps generate Asians’ premium in achievement. This is especially evident at lower levels of family SES.     

五四新文化运动与中国文化传统三题

发端于五四时期的现代新儒家之基本价值倾向是主张现代化的,因而它亦应归于"五四新文化运动"的范畴,所谓"五四新文化运动是全盘反传统"的论断是不成立的。中国文化现代开展的内在逻辑体现为从"外在冲击"到"内在转化",五四新文化运动构成了这一过程的的转折点,虽然它的批判和否定曾经对中国文化传统造成了一定的冲击,但它没有也不可能造成中国文化传统的断裂。就中国文化现代开展的整体进程而言,中国文化精神之主体性的挺立是一个不断得到加强的过程,中国文化传统受到了越来越多的重视。五四新文化运动所开启的文化格局进一步充实和丰富了中国文化的生命力,为中国文化传统面向21世纪的新开展增添了新的生机与活力。

新文化运动对儒家文化的影响

儒学在两千多年的中国文化中占据着统治地位,这一现象在世界文明中也是独一无二的。1915年发起的新文化运动最终打破这一传统,使许多西方思想观念传入中国,对传统文化造成极大冲击,儒家思想受到批判。然而,由于儒家文化内在的演进逻辑与中国文明能够很好的贴合,儒家文化实际并没有消失,而是深深植根于中国人的精神世界中。
