“Post-Gay” Yet? The Relevance of the Lesbian and Gay Scene to Same-Sex Attracted Young People in Contemporary Australia

In recent years, the lesbian and gay “scene” of bars, nightclubs, and dance parties has been undergoing a structural decline in many Western cities. This article aimed to examine the relevance of the scene to same-sex attracted young adults amid these changes. An online survey was conducted with 572 same-sex attracted young women and men in Sydney. Only a minority of respondents participated in the scene at least weekly (16%), and the majority did not regard the scene as important to their leisure time (60%). However, respondents valued the scene as a space to connect with other same-sex attracted people and display same-sex affection without fear of hostility. Lesbian and gay identified respondents tended to be more socially engaged with the scene compared to other same-sex attracted respondents. The findings suggest that while the scene continues to be valued by many same-sex attracted young people, improved social attitudes have made participating in the scene less of an imperative.     

Assessing the Gender Invariance of the Modern Homonegativity Scale

The measurement invariance of the Modern Homonegativity Scale (MHS) was examined among heterosexual female (n = 449) and male (n = 329) university students who were predominantly Mexican American. The MHS demonstrated full invariance of factor loadings and partial invariance of latent intercepts. At the latent mean level, heterosexual men compared to heterosexual women held more negative attitudes toward both gay men and lesbian women. There were no latent mean differences in attitudes toward gay men and lesbian women when rated by either heterosexual men or heterosexual women. The MHS can be used by heterosexual men and heterosexual women to assess their homonegativity.     

湘鄂川黔革命根据地的 “扩红运动”及其历史与现实意义

湘鄂川黔革命根据地是长江南岸的最后一块红色根据地,是在全国其他各路红军离开原有根据地后,由红二、六军团会师后建立的,为我国革命战争的胜利起到了不可忽视的作用。文章以“扩红运动”为研究维度,从三个方面进行深刻论析。面对国民党的“围剿”、根据地内反动势力的迫害以及薄弱的地方武装力量,“扩红运动”的组织发动显得迫切需要。“扩红运动”的组织发动不仅对打击封建反动势力、维护苏维埃政权、壮大革命队伍、策应红军长征,以及保卫土地革命成果、扩大中国共产党的影响有着重要的历史意义,而且还对当今密切党群关系、处理民族关系、加强军队建设等都有着重要的现实意义。     

“狂飙突进”时代的偏激——对五四作家心理状态的审视与反思

五四作家普遍表现出偏激情绪 ,其心理根源于作家们严重的焦虑和孤独与强烈的叛逆。而作家们的这种心理又是当时社会现实与作家个人经历、天赋禀性的产物。作家们的偏激情绪产生了激进的思想和激烈的言论 ,一方面以其狂飙突进的气势猛烈攻击封建传统与旧文化 ,另一方面由于潜在的农民文化心理的作用而不可避免地留下不少缺憾。同时 ,这种偏激情绪在文学创作中也产生了一定的影响

当代中国农民的居住和迁徙自由权

人作为动物,享有居住和迁徙自由的本能权利。在人类文明的发展进程中,居住和迁徙自由已经上升到国际人权法律的层面,成为举世公认的一项基本人权。20世纪50年代以来,中国在照搬苏联模式建设社会主义中,建立起城乡分离的二元户籍制度,人为地将农民限制在农村,使农民丧失了宝贵的居住和迁徙自由权。在坚持以人为本、树立科学发展观的今天,彻底废除二元户籍制度,恢复和保障农民的居住和迁徙自由权,以自由看待发展,已成为人们的共同关切。     

世界社会主义运动中的象征策略及政治功能

在世界社会主义运动中,存在大量对政治象征资源的开发、创造、控制与运用。作为政治传播的重要工具,象征产品履行着多种政治功能,核心是要通过提供意义和价值,对社会主义运动作合理性论证。同时,象征策略也是整合观念、统一行动的技术方法。因而,对象征策略的运用构成了世界社会主义运动中一种基本的和普遍的政治实践,象征策略本身也成为社会主义运动过程分析的可观察文化历史因素。     

美国研究视阈中的三K党运动——以“中层结构”和“社会空间”理论为视点的论析

从美国研究的“中层结构”理论和“社会空间”理论来看,美国三K党组织作为一种“中层结构”破坏了美国社会文化正常发展所依赖的“社会空间”。三K党运动的演进过程是中层机制的消极构成在“社会空间”中的病态表征,彰显了美国多元文化的深层矛盾,成为美国文化史上一个特有的悖论。     

“课归商办”：析论陶澍整饬两淮盐务的主张和实践

“课归场灶”与“课归商办”代表了清代处理盐法主体关系的两种相向立场。陶澍力主后者并努力践行,虽总体并不成功,但其意义主要在于对“课归商办”的确认,在于对清初以来盐法动荡的某种稳定。在这个意义上说,陶澍在两淮的盐法主张和实践具有“变法”和“改革”的内涵。     

‘Even if Martians exist,they’re far from our everyday life’: faculty perspectives regarding gay and lesbian students in social work education

Following a study on gay and lesbian students’ experiences in a Social Work Department in Greece, this qualitative study explores faculty perspectives regarding lesbian and gay students in social work education. Perceptions of gay and lesbian students’ invisibility and low level of comfort were held in common by participants, although some faculty members referred to the more inclusive and accepting climate of the Social Work Department compared to other higher education Departments and Greek society in general. Most participants reported that same-sex sexuality issues are inadequately covered in the curriculum. Displays of heterosexist behaviour by students were reported by most participants and so were conflicts among students when same-sex sexuality issues were discussed in class. The lack of official anti-discrimination policies that include sexual orientation was highlighted. In the absence of a common strategy regarding the teaching of same-sex sexuality content, faculty determined on an individual level how and to what extent to discuss such issues in the classroom. At times the faculty appeared willing but not adequately prepared to approach gay and lesbian issues. Implications for social work education are discussed.
