Troubling the ‘Happy Family’: US Liberalism and Narratives of Transnational Adoption and Immigration from China

This essay connects adoption and immigration from China by considering the relationship between the adoptee and the Chinese nanny hired to care for her. I examine news media alongside Wendy Lee’s 2008 novel, Happy Family, which portrays the adoptive family through the perspective of a Fujianese immigrant domestic worker. Transnational adoption from China emerged in the early 1990s as undocumented immigration from the Fujian province rose, representing a major shift in Chinese immigration. These practices have been apprehended divergently in mainstream discourses. This essay approaches the family as a site of neoliberal privatization that frames adoption in terms of inclusion into US national ideologies of race, gender, and class, while undocumented immigration from China has been framed through exclusion. I argue that the nanny destabilizes the construction of the family as a space of depoliticized inclusion through her labor, revealing the neoliberal inequalities that shape both adoption and immigration.     

清道咸时期中朝文人交往方式探析——以李尚迪为中心

清代中朝文人交往的方式主要有三个方面：第一,留京期间,中朝文人宴游唱和,以画纪事,写真留影;第二,临别之际,两国文人常以画图题赠,表达相思怀念之情;第三,在分别后,中朝文人通过互赠和互寄书籍、器物、诗作等方式,表达问候,以慰相思。由此可见,清代以来中朝之间日益紧密的文化交流,增进了两国人民的了解和友谊,成为中外文化交流史中的佳话。

论浮龙·李的移情说

作为现代主义美学最初的理论 ,移情论体现出人们“自下而上”通过实验心理学探明审美心理的一种企图。浮龙·李以康德美学为起点 ,试图证明美不可能是存在于主体之外的事物本性 ,美只是人观察和解释事物时采取的一种主观方式。移情的发生归根结底在于不包含任何客体信息、不存在个体思想感情的普遍化概念 ;正是这种普遍化使得主体的活动被转移到客体继而成为客体的性质 ,即主客合一。移情是知觉在把握客体形状时一种不受干扰、平衡、稳定和持续的过程。进入人的意识并且对人的情感产生影响的是移情活动中生命力所发生的变化。浮龙·李通过生命力的变化以及人对这个变化的意识解释美感 ,因此 ,美感在浮龙·李的移情说中洋溢着对生命力的兴趣和肯定。但是 ,由于无功利前提 ,这个兴趣最后只能落在对人自身肌肉运动的意识上。人们批评移情论把移情的原始动力最终归结为器官的生理活动是损害了美的超越价值。     

Political confrontation over fiscal processes: The impact of the U.S. Congressional Budget Act

In July 1974 the U.S. Congressional Budget Act was signed into law. This legislation was the result of a heavily fought political confrontation between President Nixon and Congress over who controlled the Federal budget. In addition to the issue of control, the Act was prompted by dissatisfaction with the procedures used by Congress to determine Federal receipts and expenditures. The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact this legislation had on the U.S. economy in its early years.The first section of the paper sets up a simple modeling framework. The model is specified so as to illustrate how a change in the budget process resulting from the Congressional Budget Act could potentially produce changes in the level of total output. This section also explains the derivation of a tax and expenditure series used in the model's empirical testing. The second section addresses some of the theoretical issues, and presents the results of simulations based on the Chase, Wharton, and Data Resources econometric models. Broad conclusions are gathered in the final section.

The rescission of behaviors: Inconsistent responses in adolescent sexuality data

In longitudinal survey research, certain questions can be rescinded illogically. For instance, respondents who at Time 1 report having had sexual intercourse may at Time 2 report never having done so. This paper reports measurement techniques and analyses of these types of inconsistencies from an ongoing longitudinal adolescent sexuality project. Inconsistencies in intercourse, masturbation, and other sexual behaviors are reported and compared to rates from other studies and other less sensitive behaviors within the same study. Three conclusions are presented: (1) inconsistencies should be considered a natural part of any longitudinal survey process and should be incorporated into the response model; (2) inconsistency rates in these particular data support the contention that adolescent sexuality data of appropriate quality for analytical purposes can be obtained; and (3) inconsistency rates in fact contain substantive information concerning the processes under consideration.     

朝鲜诗人李尚迪与晚清文人交流的历史价值

李尚迪是i9世纪中朝两国文化交流的重要桥梁,具有两国文化交流“史”的价值。李尚迪与晚清文人的交流,延续和拓展了两国文人的情感空间,促进和加强了两国在朴学、金石学、书法和绘画等方面的交流,提升和扩大了朝鲜汉诗在中国的地位和影响,并为两国诗歌的传播做出了重要贡献。所以,作为晚清时期中朝文化交流的传播者,李尚迪是晚清中朝文人交流的历史缩影,同时,在他与晚清文人进行的文化交流的过程中,既彰显了“他者”的存在,也确证了“自我”的价值。     

李栗谷对王阳明“心学”思想之融合性传承

李栗谷与李退溪并称朝鲜性理学的“双璧”。作为“栗谷”学派的创始人,李栗谷思想兼容并取,不墨守所谓的正统性理学,细究其理论学说中亦具有极其丰富的王阳明“心学”内涵。以李栗谷思想中的“道本于心”“至善与中”及“知行并进”等理论为中心,可验证李栗谷学说中的诸多理论皆与王阳明“心学”思想是相当契合的,亦具有十分明显的融合与传承王阳明“心学”之特征。
