东方蝃蝀的小说《双城故事》,写于1952年,《亦报》分75次连载,发表时署名＂唐优＂。此为1949年政权易帜后,作者在新的文学环境下应对国家主流意识形态的产物。小说的文学史意义在于,为重绘1950年代初期中国文学版图,研究20世纪中期中国文学转型,提供了一个重要个案。重识《双城故事》将丰富既有的文学史叙述。     

读者的分化与延安文学的转型——延安《解放日报》副刊的文学生产与传播

延安<解放日报>副刊是当时全国报纸中发稿最多、规模最大、持续时间也最长的文艺阵地,从中可以找到1941-1946年近六年的解放区文艺历史.它不仅是延安文艺政策的晴雨表和文学转折的历史见证,也是各种文化冲突集中释放的空间.在新旧时代交替的"革命狂欢"中,外来都市文化经过与延安主流政治文化和陕北民间文化的结合,最终形成了具有延安特色的新文化.在延安文学从精英文化向工农兵方向转型的过程中,除了延安主流意识形态的规范作用之外,读者的变迁、分化也是其重要的文化诱因.     

《循环日报》之编辑与发行考略

现有各类新闻史著对有关《循环日报》编辑与发行情况的记述多有疏漏。经笔者考证,《循环日报》编辑人员主要由"主笔"(分"正主笔"和一般主笔)、"总司理"和"译员"等三部分人员组成。《循环日报》自创刊日起,除在香港及附近地区出版日刊版的"日报"外,还一度在海外华人聚居地区发行日报的周刊缩编本。《循环日报》发行地区主要分布于香港及周边地区,同时中国内陆各主要通商口岸及日本、澳大利亚、东南亚、南北美洲等华人聚居地区也有数量不等的发售。创刊初期的《循环日报》发行量不超过800份。1879年后,发行量增加到1100份左右,最多时达到2500份。为了扩大发行,《循环日报》在创办初期还采取免费赠送、广告招徕、刊登广告优惠、面向社会积极征稿等诸多方式,这在一定程度上增加了《循环日报》的影响。     

新写实小说的局限性

新写实小说是80年代后期崛起于文坛并产生重大影响的小说创作潮流：新写实小说关注普通人的世俗欲求,将日常生活叙事提到了一个较高的位置。但是受到转型期社会文化心态的影响,新写实小说带有种种先天的局限性。这些局限性的存在某种程度上决定了新写实小说作为一种小说创作形态或者说是一种小说创作理念很难维持较长的发展期。

Media Representation of Tongxinglian in China: A Case Study of the People’s Daily

Over the past few decades, the worldwide lesbian and gay movements have diversified and increased their rights claims. The achievement of gay rights claims in society is the result of an interplay among various social factors and forces. Media is one of most influential players in building homosexual images and promoting mutual understanding. Chinese homosexuals were not treated as criminals or mental illness patients anymore in 1997 and 2001, respectively, after decriminalization and depathologization. Thus this article aims to explore how homosexuals were portrayed in the official media of China, particularly the People’s Daily, to illustrate the changing perception of homosexuals in China’s political and social spheres. It argues that representation of homosexuals in the People’s Daily changed gradually from a negative perception to a more positive one with less discrimination and prejudice as shown by the article’s quantitative and qualitative results.     

Visual management system to improve care planning and controlling: the case of intensive care unit

Health Lean Management (HLM) is usually implemented to enhance the operational performance in health care; nevertheless, scant attention is devoted to visual control and daily accountability processes. This paper aims at investigating how to adopt a visual management system to: plan and control patient journey in health care operations and perform a continuous improvement process. Conducting in-depth interviews and observations, participating in meetings and collecting documentation, the patient journey board and daily briefings of an Intensive Care Unit were studied and improved. In the patient journey board, the Plan, Do and Check phases were reported, distinguishing between actual and planned actions for the patient care. The daily meetings were organised and a continuous improvement board was also developed to solve specific issues (Act phase), by creating ad-hoc teams, involving the staff and reporting transparently on the board. Operational and sociotechnical performance, before and after the adoption of HLM, were assessed demonstrating the effectiveness and efficiency of visual management tools.     

Daily Spiritual Experiences and Psychological Well-being Among US Adults

This study focuses on one of the most significant recent innovations in the conceptualization and measurement of religiousness and spirituality, the Daily Spiritual Experience scale (DSES; Underwood (2006) Archive for the Psychology of Religion/Archiv fur Religion Psychologie, 28, 181–218). Using data from 1998 and 2004 NORC General Social Surveys, we address a number of questions regarding the social patterning of daily spiritual experiences, and the relationships between spiritual experiences and multiple dimensions of psychological well-being. Our results suggest a robust positive association between DSES and psychological well-being. By contrast, DSES appears to have little bearing on negative affect. We also found that DSES does not account for the association between religious practices and psychological variables. That is, DSES appears to tap another aspect of spirituality that is relevant for well-being, above and beyond the influence of religious practices. Various implications of the findings, as well as study limitations and future research direction are discussed.
