Vulnerable relational knowing that matters

This paper explores vulnerable relational knowing, and in it we open up our own embodied habits and experiences as feminist academics. We discuss how displaying our academic bodies as naked, both symbolically and physically, enhances and appreciates—instead of hiding—vulnerability. We also discuss how our academic bodies entangle with a range of more-than-human creatures and material surroundings to highlight the multispecies and material nature of vulnerable relational knowing. Two detailed stories, “Intimate sharing of academic knowledge: A recumbent study circle” and “Keropirtti: A place and space to work differently” provide unique examples of the enactment of alternative ways of working in academia, and their analysis demonstrates the potential of vulnerability for embodied relational knowing in academia, which has, to date, been commonly analyzed in the context of writing.     

Revisiting the cooperation–competition paradox: A configurational approach to short- and long-term coopetition performance in business networks

Cooperation and competition are often viewed as incompatible, antagonistic forces, thus are operationalized as two extremes on a continuum. However, they can coexist and even enable each other, thus may be operationalized as orthogonal constructs. We address this contradictory phenomenon by developing a more granular view of the cooperation–competition paradox. Building on interdisciplinary research, we develop a three-dimensional model of relational space (fairness–opportunism, sharing–control, and engagement–rivalry), providing a novel tool with which to investigate the paradoxical interplay between cooperation and competition through eight operationalizable configurations. Using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), we test our model by assessing how different configurations of interfirm relationships influence the short- and long-term success of a sample of 217 firms. Our findings show that only two of the eight possible relational configurations are associated with firm success, one in both the long and short term, and the other in the short term only.     

红山文化玉箍形器功能探析--上古巫、史之职的物解

红山文化中出土的玉箍是巫、史等神职人员司职的神器,它的出土对于研究北方远古时期人们的生产生活具有重大意义.玉箍作为祭祀神器是斜口陶器和无底筒形器的综合与升华,它反映了当时人们的精神生活和祭祀观念.巫、史等也借助它来绝地通天并以此来维系氏族或部落内部的稳定与团结.它在文明起源过程中所起的作用值得人们深思.     

Framing the tendency to betray one's good intentions. Akrasia as a dialogical dynamic

Akrasia, otherwise known as ‘weakness of will’, is a state of mind whereby people act deliberately against their better judgment. This paper aims to provide a conceptual framework for understanding akrasia from psychosocial perspectives that assume the self is multiple and strongly interconnected with the relational flow of which it is a part. Drawing on key ideas from Dialogical Self Theory, we analyze the main dialogical dynamics that can generate akratic episodes with reference to how individuals organize their personal position repertoire, and to the relational and socio-cultural setting in which the actions are taken. The discussion enables us to identify some indicators to frame the tendency to betray one's good intentions, and to offer some suggestions on how to reduce the occurrence of the various forms of akrasia analyzed.     

唐长安城坊市与雩禜空间

借助坊市南北门开、阖来求、止雨,是唐长安城内部雩禜祭祀的重要外在表现形式。考古已证实皇城南所对36坊无南北坊门,故相对于他坊属于特殊的祭祀空间。由于朱雀街作为“御路”所发挥的内聚作用,此36坊的祭祀性质主要通过京兆尹组织朱雀街求雨徙市,以及止雨时太社、朱雀街、明德门一线上相应活动的展开作为主要体现,一定程度上更应视作皇城区祭祀空间的外延。长安城内此二类外部形态不同、祭祀性质相异的坊,共同组成雩禜祭祀之完整格局。     

IT外包中企业绩效的影响因素实证研究

在已有文献的基础上,识别了关系治理的三个维度：良好冲突处理、相互依赖和关系规范,并从关系治理角度出发,构建了IT外包企业绩效影响因素的概念模型。通过对北京、上海和西安三地20多家外包企业进行问卷调查,利用结构方程模型进行实证分析。实证结果表明：信任、承诺和知识共享对企业绩效有显著的正向影响,其中信任和承诺对企业绩效的影响既有直接的影响又有间接的影响,知识共享对企业绩效有直接的影响;信任、承诺和知识共享具有很强的中介作用,良好冲突处理和相互依赖以信任、承诺和知识共享为中间变量间接影响企业绩效,关系规范以承诺和知识共享为中间变量间接影响企业绩效。     

国家崛起与信任状态:一项研究议程

一般认为,国家崛起与外部信任构建过程并不具有兼容性,崛起国与主导国之间一定会产生某种程度的猜忌和疑虑。国际关系的信任理论则认为,这种疑虑关系属于一种工具信任形态,并未排除基本信任成分。按照信任关系发展的基本层度,在工具信任、情感信任之间可以建立"关系信任"的状态,本文尝试从关系本位出发,构建关于崛起与信任之间的关系理解框架,探究二者同向展开的可能性。最近20年中美信任关系的演进过程已证实:安全崛起的良善前景,关键在于持存关系信任,重视共在策略,增续情感成分,调整相互预期,避免长期滞留于低信任层度。     

关系型治理向正式治理转型的最优化分析

Li(2003)和王永钦(2006、2009)在认识到关系型治理对于经济发展的重要意义的同时,也指出了从关系型治理向正式治理转型的必要性。从微观主体对合约形式的选择行为入手,可以建立了一个最优化模型来进一步研究从关系型治理向正式治理转型的条件和策略,具有一定的现实意义。     

《庄子·应帝王》新论

从东西文化的视角对《庄子·应帝王》做了全新的且具有当代意识的阐释。分析认为：人类的主体生命和客体的绝对本体的＂道＂（帝王）,原本就是处于双行一体的深度契合中;只要能自觉破除或超越人类自我造作的种种观念的障蔽,则宇宙和人类演化历史的＂一体多元＂本相与现象的运动,也就是＂浑沌＂和凿＂浑沌＂双行一体,双向逆反的演化密义会自显,＂浑沌＂和凿＂浑沌＂是牺牲与复活同在的密义也会自显,这些观点具有创新性和领先性。     

论先秦时期的祭祀禳灾

先秦时期的祭祀禳灾是由早期天神崇拜、自然崇拜和鬼神崇拜发展而来的,从原始社会开始孕育,到夏、商和西周时形式逐渐多样化,春秋战国时则渐渐趋于衰弱。早期的祭祀禳灾具有一定的积极意义,如消除人们对灾害的恐慌心理、提前防范灾害发生、与药物相结合有治疗作用,等等。
