友爱、敌意与他者的单一性——论德里达的"幻影朋友之回归"

德里达后期的著作<友爱的政治学>对后冷战时期的国际政治展开思考,他从古希腊的友爱来源于血亲兄弟之关系,来讨论城邦政治,正是血亲关系建构了社会共同体.德里达对施米特的"敌意"展开解构,在德里达看来,我们可能生活在一个既没有朋友也没有敌人的时代,既没有友爱也没有敌意,这也就是说,朋友与敌人构成一种奇妙的转化关系.后冷战时期的国际政治中突显出的"敌意",在德里达的解构中,那就是"幻影朋友之回归".     

徐惠的诗文创作及其《谏太宗息兵罢役疏》

贞观文坛活跃着一位创作力旺盛的宫廷女性——徐惠徐贤妃。徐惠不但以其文学才华备受唐太宗优宠,在宫廷游宴及应制赋诗之际创作了大量渗透着才女气质的诗作,并在唐太宗宫廷特有的文化和政治氛围的熏陶下,创作出了历来备受史家称誉的《谏太宗息兵罢役疏》。通过对徐惠诗文创作的系统研究,从而为全面而深入地研究贞观文坛提供一点素材。     

How cities shape refugee centres: ‘deservingness’ and ‘good aid’ in a Sicilian town

While scholars have devoted increasing attention to the dynamics at play within refugee centres, analyses have often been driven by the ‘exceptionality’ of these institutions, overlooking the ways in which what happens inside the centres is largely connected to what goes on outside of them. Building on ethnographic fieldwork in a Sicilian refugee centre and the surrounding town, this paper investigates the extent to which economic, historical and political configurations inform how local actors conceptualise aid and how they interact with refugees on a daily basis. Overall, the study found that both centre workers and the general population mobilise moral arguments that can only be understood in light of dynamics that are external to the centre itself. These findings ultimately point to the extent to which state-level dysfunctions influence popular images of what a ‘deserving’ refugee might look like as well as local understandings of the ‘right way’ of providing help.     

Maneuvering through Hostile Environments: How Firms Leverage Product and Process Innovativeness

Is focusing on innovativeness the appropriate organizational response in hostile environments? This study addresses four distinct forms of hostile environments: market decline, restrictiveness, competition, and resource scarcity. The research draws on contingency theory to explain how these forms of hostility affect product innovativeness, process innovativeness, and firm performance. While the extant literature has investigated the effects of hostile environments on performance, little has been done to distinguish between different forms of hostility and, in turn, their potential effect on product and process innovativeness. We argue that investments in product and process innovativeness are either fostered or hindered, contingent on the form of hostile pressures from the external operating environment. These firm responses should in turn suppress the negative effects of hostility on performance. A survey using newly developed measurement scales for hostile environments was used to collect data from 148 small and medium‐sized manufacturing plants. The results provide evidence that generally supports our hypotheses. More specifically, the direct effects of the four forms of hostile environments impact product and process innovativeness differently. Likewise, the suppression and consistent mediation effects of product and process innovativeness differ depending upon the type of hostile environment, suggesting that manufacturers consider applying these capabilities contingent upon the type of hostile climate they face. Therefore, to understand how firms leverage product and process innovativeness, hostile environments are best differentiated into categories rather than being aggregated.
