从“现代化”到“现代性” :二十世纪中国 文学研究思路的转型

文章认为,中国现代文学研究的话语范型在二十世纪八、九十年代发生了重大转型,即由八十年代的以启蒙主义作为价值准则的"现代化"到九十年代对"现代性"进行全面反思的"文学现代性"。这一转型意味着我们对现代文学的认识和价值评判更趋多元化,有助于我们从更为广阔的视野中去揭示现代文学中一度"被压抑的现代性",但同时我们也要警惕"现代性"话语的遮蔽性,讨论中国现代文学的"现代性"一定要考虑到它发生的特殊语境、历史进程的具体性和文学文本所呈现的复杂、多样甚至悖论性的"现代性"内涵。

辛亥革命在中国现代化过程中的历史地位

辛亥革命在中国现代化过程中处于承上启下的地位。所谓承上是说继续和发展了自19世纪70年代以来资产阶级维新派和立宪派的事业;所谓启下是说新民主义革命事业和社会主义建设事业的某些方面是孙中山某些主张的继续和发展。     

文艺学方法论的同一性、民族性与当代性——马克思主义文艺学当代发展思考之三

文学是人类存在的家园,解读文本是文艺学方法论的核心.中西方文艺学方法论的同一性即以社会和历史为视角,破译语言的能指和所指,考察读者的接受;民族性即中国重整体审美与感悟,西方重客观分析与体系建构;当代性则是多元性与开放性.马克思主义文艺学就是在这种格局中获得新的更大的发展.

Performance of weather-conditional rebates under different risk preferences

Retailers who sell seasonal products often face challenges in demand management due to weather uncertainty. In many cases, they make their ordering and pricing decisions prior to the regular selling season but the vast majority of sales do not occur until after the season starts, during which unfavorable weather conditions may result in high monetary losses. To protect against such adverse financial outcomes, retailers may offer weather-linked promotions such as weather rebates and induce customers to make early purchases. Specifically, weather-conditional rebates are incentives offered in an advance promotional period to be paid to the early buyers if the weather state in the regular season is unfavorable. In the presence of seasonal weather uncertainty, risk attitudes of retailers and buyers may play an important role on the effectiveness of these promotions. In this paper, we analyze the performance of weather-conditional rebates by explicitly considering the impact of different risk behaviors. First, we study the case in which the retailer and customers are risk-neutral and show that the weather-conditional rebates are effective in increasing the retailer's profits. Under the assumption of the retailer's risk-neutrality, we conduct a simulation study to investigate the impact of customers' alternative early-purchase behaviors on the performance of the rebate program. Next, we consider a risk-averse retailer. We model the retailer's risk aversion primarily in the mean–variance framework and find that the rebate program can be designed to increase the mean profit and reduce the profit variance simultaneously. Furthermore, by combining the rebate program with a financial instrument such as binary weather options, the retailer can obtain greater benefits from weather-conditional rebates.

Heterogeneous treatment effects on Children's cognitive/non-cognitive skills: A reevaluation of an influential early childhood intervention

The 1962–67 High/Scope Perry Preschool Program, a well-known experimental early childhood intervention study that provided quality preschool education to disadvantaged children, has been shown to have had positive impacts on early child development and on a variety of adulthood outcomes. However, most previous analyses have only examined average treatment effects across all program participants without exploring possible effect heterogeneity by children's background characteristics. We investigated this question by first using the 1964–65 Current Population Survey data in combination with the Perry data to construct a scale of child socioeconomic status based on the estimated propensity for inclusion in the Perry program, then analyzing effect heterogeneity within the Perry sample by strata of our socioeconomic scale. We found that the treatment effects of enrollment in the Perry preschool on cognitive and non-cognitive skills were much larger and more persistent among the most disadvantaged children than among others in the Perry program. Furthermore, among the most disadvantaged children, the treatment (i.e., preschool enrollment) affects later outcomes through a reinforcement mechanism of skill development (i.e., early cognitive gain leads to a non-cognitive gain, which in turn leads to later cognitive gain) and a sequential improvement of cognitive skills over time. These findings have important implications for the evaluation of policy interventions in early child development using experimental data.     

Parents’ perspectives of social support and social cohesion in urban contexts of diversity

Although provisions for young children are increasingly considered as ideal places to foster an inclusive and socially just society by embracing issues of social support and social cohesion, there is no in-depth understanding of the role these provisions can play in enabling supportive and cohesive encounters in contexts of diversity. Even more striking is the absence of parents’ voices in this discussion. Based on an analysis of qualitative interviews with 18 parents who use childcare services in urban contexts of diversity, our findings show the relevance of ephemeral contacts with diverse people that could offer bridging opportunities in terms of social connectedness to familiarise within diversity while decoding the other in urban contexts of diversity. However, neither bonding nor bridging contacts appear as self-evident. Our research shows that the role of childcare services might be vital in creating light and temporal communities as the prerequisite for social cohesion to flourish, in both individual as well as collective dimensions.
