文化符码与心理符码的合－－鲁迅作品中的看客形象小议

看客是鲁迅作品中的重要形象,它一方面作为一种文化符码出现在作品中,代表着鲁迅对中国封建文化的认识,体现着封建文化的吃人本质;另一方面,它又表现着鲁迅内心世界的恐惧心理,成为创作主体的心理符码.鲁迅对看客形象的塑造,是按照抽象这一艺术原则进行的,他限制看客的活动空间,把看客抽象成无生命的结晶质.这些艺术表现均源于鲁迅摆脱内心恐惧的需要.     

An exploratory study of the relation between concrete and abstract product attributes

It is argued that the abstract product attributes that consumers mention in a research setting should not be interpreted as combinations of the more concrete attributes consumers mention. Results from a laddering study show that a majority of elicited abstract product attributes are unrelated to concrete attributes. Furthermore, these unrelated abstract attributes are about different product aspects than the related abstract attributes. These findings are discussed in the light of the problem of ‘actionability', and of models for new product development.     

何谓隐喻

隐喻具有悠久的历史。在人类语言文字发展演变的历史中,隐喻发挥了巨大的作用,柏拉图学 派甚至认为隐喻代表了语言的本质。隐喻并非起初就是一种为我们所熟知的语法修辞格,隐喻发展为语法修 辞格也经历了漫长的历史过程。作为语法修辞格的隐喻始终在文艺创作等领域以及人类的生活世界发挥着 重要的、无可替代的作用。     

陶筹到文字：认知的发展

文章以远古西亚地区计数方式的演变为例来分析抽象能力的发展。陶筹表明人类计数方式最初是通过具体的一一对应的方式实现的。公元前7500年的西亚陶筹表现其所代表物品的方式却是抽象的,比如以锥形陶筹表示谷物量器。公元前3300年,人们开始用空心泥球来保存有计数功能的陶筹,以更为抽象的符号刻画在其表面来记录其内封存的陶筹。这个过程发展到最高阶段便产生了具有抽象意义的数字,随后文字也就应运而生。     

The Organisation and the Mouth of Hell

‘We are now beginning a two week consultation period—but let me say this [finger raised for emphasis)—if you are not for this project [dramatic pause) you ought to be looking for a move elsewhere’. (Announcement preceding a post‐1992 university restructuring, April 2002)

‘Hang on. I am just parking the car. I am walking into the building. I am now entering the mouth of hell…’ (Conversation with a friend who was calling from his mobile phone as he entered his workplace)

‘My heart sinks every time I have to go there. It takes away your spirit’. (Former colleague writing about her experiences of going to work)

‘I am nailed to the desk at the moment…’. (My email to friend in another institution) ‘Your email was full of Catholic imagery’. (Reply)

Toward a resilient complex adaptive system view of business models

This paper employs the theory of resilient complex adaptive systems (RCAS) to offer a versatile and universal foundation for the concept of a business model that facilitates connections between prior works while enabling future exploration with a common language. The proposed business model construct is developed by first exploring the field of systems to highlight how the concept of an RCAS can be employed to provide a more robust conceptualization of a business model than previous constructs. A thematic analysis of the literature is then conducted to translate the fundamental requirements of an RCAS into the business model context. This system view is inherently abstraction tolerant and provides a foundation for both academic research and practical applications. Specifically, it addresses two key gaps in the business model literature. First, the comprehensive nature of the system model naturally calls out important aspects of business models that have been largely ignored in the literature. Second, the construct provides a comprehensive means to connect the work of business model scholars and practitioners outlined in more than 150 studied articles, highlighting how each earlier research effort has employed a construct that is actually part of a grander whole.     

Classification hierarchies for product data modelling

Abstraction is an essential element in data modelling that appears mainly in one of the following forms: generalisation, classification or aggregation. In the design of complex products classification hierarchies can be found product families that are viewed as classes of product types, while product types are seen as classes of product instances. So far data models, if they support levels of classification, do not support the inheritance of product properties the way product family hierarchies are supposed to. This paper proposes an interpretation of the member of construct that enables one to define inheritance in classification hierarchies. Unified modelling language (UML) static structures are used as data modelling language. A textual notation is added that enables the introduction of data structures and corresponding data contents in the course of an analysis.     

品质行为的总抽象──释《论语》中的“德”

“德”是《论语》中的重要概念,有着丰富的内涵和重要意义。一、“德”是人的内在品质和这种品质所外化的实践行为的总概括和总抽象;二、“德”被孔子视为赖以实现其社会理想的根据;三、“德”的形成要靠主体的修养;四、“德”对中国社会政治思想产生了积极而深远的影响。

Les représentations professionnelles en question. Le cas des intermédiaires dans les fusions-acquisitions

One sector of finance, relatively unfamiliar to the public, has nevertheless been growing fast for the last 30 years. This sector, known as M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions), specialises in the sale or purchase of companies. The middlemen who carry out the transactions are not the owners of the companies they buy or sell. They perform a set of socially divided and organised tasks and possess specific expertise. This article seeks to analyse these financial middlemen as workers, and in particular to understand their professional representation of the companies that they help to buy or sell. We show that the people working in this sector share a commodified, quantitative and abstract representation of the companies bought and sold. Through an analysis of activity, professional rhetoric, socialisation processes and career dynamics, the article shows how the homogeneity of this representation is constructed and maintained.
