网络犯罪的法理分析和立法思考

随着计算机和信息网络的普及,人类的交流更加方便和快捷。与此同时,网络犯罪也呈现出复杂多样的形态,且危害性日益严重。令人忧虑的是,由于我国法律体系建设的滞后,对一些新型的网络犯罪行为的定罪还存在无法可依的现象。笔者试就几种主要的网络犯罪行为进行分析,并在此基础上对网络立法问题提出一些初步的意见。     

Virtual Interpersonal Touch and Digital Chameleons

We studied the characteristics of hand touch with a mechanical device that approximated a handshake, and we then examined the effect of handshake mimicry on assessment of a partner. Two participants interacted with a force-feedback joystick that recorded each of their hand movements individually. The two participants then greeted one another by feeling the recording of the other person’s movements via the force-feedback device. For each dyad, one of the participants actually received his or her own virtual handshake back under the guise that it was the other person’s virtual handshake. Results demonstrated three significant findings. First, for any given participant, a metric that took into account position, angle, speed, and acceleration of the hand movements correlated highly within individuals across two handshakes. Second, across participants, these metrics demonstrated specific differences by gender. Finally, there was an interaction between gender and mimicry, such that male participants liked people who mimicked their handshakes more than female participants did. We discuss the implications of these findings and relate them to theories of social interaction.

网络游戏虚拟物品的法律保护

目前,我国法律对网络游戏虚拟物品未作出明确的权利定性。从本质上看,虚拟物品属于法律规定的财产范畴,符合传统民法上"物"的特性,应被定性为物权的客体,可以通过直接立法和间接立法两种方式来实现对虚拟物品的保护。     

Analysis of social innovation on social networking services

ABSTRACT

Social network services are allowing more social connectivity and making possible sharing information and knowledge of a different nature. This article analyses if social workers related to active social policies from Malaga province (Spain) are using social network services to share information and knowledge and if there is a mirror between online and offline relationships. Since it is an experimental model, through virtual ethnography and through social network analysis methodology, we observed the presence, connectivity and analysed the structure of relationships that keep 235 professionals from 52 organizations in Facebook®. Moreover, the model uses the statistical technique of modularity for detecting online communities, which are compared with distribution of professionals in their organizations. Results show how social network services applied to social intervention are massively and frequently used by professionals. On the other hand, the detected communities reflect existence of analogy between online and offline relationships. The online structure shows a high degree of cohesion and how certain professionals have higher capacity of influence and diffusion depending on position in the online structure. It argues about the opportunity to incorporate social network services towards social intervention as a manner of social innovation to improve cooperation and diffusion of information and knowledge.     

后现代语境下网络造句现象的解读与反思

后现代语境下的网络造句既是一种文化现象,也是一种社会现象。它采用复制拼贴、移植杂揉、反讽戏谑等手法,把“娱乐至死”精神发挥到极致,刻画出了一幅全民参与的狂欢图景。并非所有的网络造句现象都是无实质意义的娱乐化产物,有相当部分的网络造句现象来源于现实社会问题,只不过表达形式采取了娱乐式的戏谑手法。然而过度娱乐化,却会造成文化消费主义、虚无主义、非理性主义、个人主义伴随着网络造句现象不断蔓延。为此,需要对后现代语境下网络造句现象的消极影响进行理性反思,有针对性地加以消解,从而保障虚拟社会得以秩序化运行。     

基于最大收益的无线虚拟网络重映射算法

针对无线环境的动态性及虚拟网络请求到达与离开的随机性,使得物理网络负载分布不均衡,导致后续请求的接受率降低的问题,提出一种无线网络虚拟化中的两阶段重映射算法（two stages reconfiguration scheme for wireless network virtualization,TR-WNV）。该算法通过第1个阶段选出合适的虚拟网络进行重映射,接着在第2个阶段按照优先级对已选出的虚拟网络进行重映射,并根据离散度来判断每次映射效果。最后,通过仿真对算法进行验证,结果表明该算法在保证虚拟网络请求收益最大化同时,有效提高了虚拟网络请求接受率,实现整个底层网络的负载分布均衡。     

协同进化:党组织与虚拟空间法治发展的必然趋势

党组织法治化为虚拟空间法治化提供导航明灯,顺应了虚拟空间治理诉求。虚拟空间法治化为党组织的法治转型和形象塑造提供了时代契机,顺合了党组织的现代化角色需要。这种进化逻辑为党组织消解网络"新疆域"的各种挑战、推进虚拟空间协同治理提供了空间和舞台。     

Observational practice in virtual worlds: revisiting and expanding the methodological discussion

Virtual worlds, such as World of Warcraft and Second Life, have seen remarkable mainstream uptake in the last decade. Such environments have grown from hosting niche interest groups to providing sites for leisure, business and education for tens of millions of Internet users. Concurrently, a multi-disciplinary research field exploring the application of such spaces has emerged. This article examines in detail one data collection practice – observation in virtual worlds – that has been applied extensively, but without extensive methodological discussion. By revisiting and extending earlier work on this topic, the article presents four key considerations for those conducting observational research in virtual worlds: defining and delimiting field sites, discerning attention, charting actions and attributing intention. It is concluded that researchers must both ward against flawed assumptions about virtual world observation and consider multi-method strategies to overcome limitations in observational data.     

虚拟社区中的人际互动

网络的特殊性改变了传统的人际互动模式,形成了一个新的人际交往空间———虚拟社区。人们在其中依靠化名的身份建立起类似于现实社会中的人际互动。虚拟社区能够满足人们在现实生活中所不能完全得到满足的心理需求。     

The ‘digital glimpse’ as imagining home

This paper proposes the concept of the ‘digital glimpse’, which develops the existing framing of imaginative travel. Here it articulates the experiences of mobile workers digitally connecting into family life and everyday rituals when physically absent with work. The recent embedding of digital communication technologies into personal relationships and family life is reconfiguring how absence is experienced and practiced by workers on the move, and through this, new digital paradigms for life on-the-move are emerging. This paper explores how such social relationships are maintained at-a-distance through digital technology – using evidence from qualitative interviews with mobile workers and their families. Digital technology now enables expressive forms of ‘virtual travel’, including video calling, picture sharing, and instant messaging. This has implications for the ways in which families can manage the social and relational pressures of being apart. Experiences of imaginative travel created through novel media can enrich the experience and give a greater sense of connection for both those who are at home and those who are away. While technology is limited in its ability to replicate a sense of co-presence, ‘digital glimpses’ are an emergent set of sociotechnical practices that can reduce the negative impact of absence on family relationships.
