文化认同的危机与身份界定的政治学——乡村文化复兴的二律背反

文化认同曾是构建社会整体性的基础,但这种基础随着现代性在世界范围内的全面展开而被彻底瓦解,中国作为世界的一部分,自然也不例外。在此意义上,文化认同正经历着一种前所未有的危机,在中国乡村文化的后改革时代的全面复兴中,这种危机得到了一种看似矛盾的体现,即一方面是改革与再造,而另一方面是传统的复兴,二者沿着各自的认同轨道运行,并行不悖。通过身份界定的政治学,乡村文化被界定为落后和迷信,村民被界定为现代意义上的“农民”,这些都与村民自己对于自身文化的认同相去甚远,两种观念各自表述,潜在的认同危机由此而得以酝酿,借用康德哲学的语汇,那就是我们在对待乡村文化上是在实践着一种二律背反的政治理念。     

和谐社会视野下的社会保障制度研究——民族地区农村医疗保障制度建设思考

构建和谐社会是新时期党实现第三步战略目标十分重要的执政理念,而和谐社会建立中最严重、最突出的社会矛盾是城乡失衡。欠发达地区更是在地区失衡前提下严重地城乡失衡,双重失衡中内显的民族地区农村医疗保障和农民生存权利更值得引起高度关注。这种现象被描述为"双重失衡中的失衡"。解决严重的"双重失衡中的失衡"问题,必须有各种可供选择的对策。

The effects of rent restructuring on social housing in English rural areas

This paper discusses the impact of central government's rent restructuring policy on social housing in rural areas in England. It examines the effect that restructuring will have on the rents set by social landlords in a set of case study areas then considers some of the likely impacts on affordability and on new investment in rural social housing. One of the primary aims of rent restructuring policy is to reduce unjustifiable differences between the rents of similar dwellings in the local authority and Registered Social Landlord sectors locally. This aim seems likely to be achieved. In doing so, it is likely that affordability will be reduced in the local authority sector but enhanced for tenants of some RSLs. However, the reduction in real RSL rents that improve affordability may further constrain RSLs’ ability to invest in new social housing in rural areas. The paper concludes that rent restructuring by itself will not materially improve the housing prospects of the less well off in rural areas.     

Exploring the current and future role of market towns in servicing their hinterlands: a case study of Alnwick in the North East of England

Faced with the problems of access, distance and low population density, the provision of quality services to rural areas is inherently difficult. Although the role of market towns in alleviating problems in the provision of rural services has been given little consideration within the academic literature, they are currently being targeted by UK government policy. Using a case of the hinterland of Alnwick, a market town in the North East of England, this paper explores the current and future role of market towns in servicing their hinterlands. The results suggest a mutual dependence between market town services and hinterland residents and that the continuation of this relationship depends on market towns taking advantage of demographic trends in rural areas. Faced with changing demographics and the wider use of the Internet, potential is identified for ‘clawing-back’ trade from larger urban areas and creating an enhanced role for market towns. Extending the sense of belonging beyond the boundaries of the town itself will also be important in increasing patronage of town services.
