Towards a performative understanding of deservingness: Merit,gender and the BBC pay dispute

Drawing largely on a high‐profile case of unequal pay at the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) as an illustrative example, this conceptual article considers differences and interrelationships between merit and deservingness, where the latter captures how, through appropriate performances, merit is given recognition and value. We propose a performative understanding of deservingness that highlights its gendered and embodied dimensions. Informed by Judith Butler's account of gender performativity, we show that, while merit is conventionally conceptualized as a relatively fixed set of attributes (qualifications, skill) 'attached' to the individual, deservingness captures how, in gendered terms, value and recognition are both claimed and conferred. As we argue, a gendered, deserving subject does not pre‐exist but is performatively constituted through embodied practices and performances of what is seen as worthy in a particular time and place.     

汉简所见西汉优抚措施

西汉的优抚措施建立在军功爵制基础上,面向全体官兵;在论功行赏的原则下,对现役军人及其家属的优抚,主要包括在给立功将士的赏赐中。政府礼葬死亡将士,抚恤其家属。戍边军人家属受到优待,有可靠充足的生活保障。西汉军功爵制有严格的等级界限,优抚措施也体现出显著的等级差别,反映了西汉社会的等级性特征。     

论王正雅的功过人生——“辛亥沅澧人物史话”走笔之二

在辛亥革命的伟大变革中，作为朝延命官的王正雅顺应历史潮流，及时高举反清大旗，加入到民军抗击清军的洪流之中，并在援助鄂军唐牺支部围攻荆州的战斗中立下战功，获取了他一生中最值得炫耀的资本。接着他以第一任常澧镇守使之名，统治沅水、澧水流域多年，成为显赫一时的风云人物。然而，他抵制“二次革命”，拥护袁世凯复辟，暴露了其封建守旧的本质，最后因权力之争而命丧猫儿峪。     

Social Work, Merit and Ethnic Diversity

This paper concentrates on the issues of merit and diversityin social work. The principal focus is ethnic diversity, usedas an example to illustrate a wider point about diversity. Itis clear that ethnic diversity in particular has become a majorpolitical objective across the public sector as part of the‘community cohesion’ initiative. Several benefitshave been identified and linked to the achievement of ethnicdiversity in the workforce; many of these have appeared in socialwork debate. The argument here is that while diversity has transformativepotential, it must be located within a more radical agenda ifit is to be successful. As a profession with a radical threadto its pedigree, social work is well placed to take this agendaforward.     

论英美两国文官制度的基本特征及其历史成因

英美两国是近代西方国家中,创设文官制度较旱的国家。其文官制度的基本特征主要表现在七个方面,即“公开考试与择优录用”,“严格考核与功绩制”,“职务常任与政府连续和稳定”,“官员分类与科学管理”,“定期培训与知识更新”,“官纪官风与道德建设”,“完善保障与稳定官员队伍”,等等。这些特征的历史成因是历史学、政治学和行政管理学相互作用的结果,也就是说追求政治的连续与稳定以及行政官员的高素质与行政工作的高效率,是上述英美两国文官制度基本特征形成的关键因素。     

网络时代文学价值认同的困境与出路

网络时代文学生产的泡沫化导致审美精神钝化,文学传播的商业化导致人文精神淡化,文学媒介的数字化导致价值立场虚化,文学交流的虚拟化导致身份认同异化,由此造成人们对文学价值的认同产生了极大的困惑。积极引导网络文学健康发展,挖掘弘扬经典文学作品的艺术价值,建立适应时代发展的文学批评新标准,是走出网络时代文学价值认同困境的有效途径。     

绩效工资改革探讨

绩效工资是依据员工个人绩效而增发,是通过对员工绩效的有效考评为基础,实现将工资与考评结果挂钩的工资制度。它的理论基础就是：＂你的报酬是你应该得到的＂。对业绩进行考评,然后以之为基础计算薪酬,既体现了客观公正,又推动了员工之间的竞争,从而推动事业单位提升业绩。     

唐代北庭龙兴寺营建相关问题新探——以旅顺博物馆藏北庭古城出土残碑为中心

旅顺博物馆现藏有上世纪初日本大谷探险队在北庭古城某佛寺遗址所发现的15件唐碑残块。虽然这些残碑破损严重,还无法缀合,但从碑文内容看, 应为造寺功德碑。碑文中出现的“龙兴寺”应即唐中宗复位后敕令天下诸州营建的龙兴寺;而碑文中出现的“检校天官都维那”则应是带有高级俗官头衔奉敕营建佛寺的僧官,反映出唐中央政府对北庭龙兴寺的重视,故出土这些碑刻的佛寺遗址极可能就是建于神龙元年的北庭龙兴寺遗址。
