道德的经济学——亲缘选择与广义效用理论

早期功利主义者认为效用不仅包括人们获得的物质利益,还包括精神上的追求和道德上的满足感。然而经济学数学化和公理化的趋势使经济学家更愿意把效用解释为物质利益上的满足,这极大地限制了经济学的解释力度。广义效用理论是在现代经济学的框架下对效用含义的扩展。通过对当前广义效用理论的回顾,结合生物学中的亲缘选择理论,提出了一个广义效用模型,并对模型的结果进行了分析。     

‘More like a daughter than an employee’: the kinning process between migrant care workers,elderly care receivers and their extended families

ABSTRACT

This paper explores the intersections of formal and informal care in the relationships that develop between elderly care receivers and their families and migrant domestic care workers and their families. The domestic migrant care literature has tended to focus on two main ‘hidden costs’ of this ‘care-chain’: the ‘care exploitation’ of paid carers by their employers and the ‘care drain’ impact on the family members left behind by the migrant. In this paper, we employ a care circulation framework to examine the process of becoming kin-like – or ‘kinning’, which remains relatively under-explored and warrants further research. An analysis of this process of kinning helps to highlight how the domestic space of care receiver homes are transformed – through the negotiation of relationships with migrant care workers – into transnational social fields that bring the diaspora worlds of the migrants into the everyday worlds of the locals.     

“哥们儿”称谓的使用状况与文化内涵

“哥们儿”称呼主要是在城市青少年、中年群体中流行的一种带有时尚性的社交称谓语;它的使用者和称谓对象主要是男性,但也有部分女性用之称呼同性好友或熟识的男性;它并不只是文化素质低的人所用称谓,而是为干部、学生、工人等各职业等集团的人所用。“哥们儿”的运用受语境的制约较大,它通常用于较随便的生活场合,而不用于郑重的公务场合;它呆用于朋友、同事、浅识者、陌生人等各种年龄差距不大的社交对象,但一般不用于亲属关系、上下级关系。它的功能在于营造轻松随便的社交气氛,并联络、亲近交际双方的感情。     

作为象征的宗族公产——以黄梅县程氏宗族为例

以往学者多将族产作为宗族的经济基础来加以考察，但在黄梅程氏的各房支争夺族产的个案中，显示了其作为界定宗族边界的标尺。明清时期，庶民宗族处于不断发展变化之中，其间赋役制度、官方的态度、地方社会的反应等等因素都在左右着这一进程，本文通过对黄梅程氏个案的细部描写，以此反映出这一过程的复杂性。     

Extended Family Integration Among Euro and Mexican Americans: Ethnicity,Gender, and Class

This article compares the extended family integration of Euro and Mexican American women and men and assesses the importance of class and culture in explaining ethnic differences. Using National Survey of Families and Households II data (N = 7,929), we find that ethnic differences depend on the dimension of integration. Mexican Americans exhibit higher rates of kin coresidence and proximity, but lower rates of financial support than Euro Americans. Two additional differences exist only among women: Mexican American women are more likely than Euro American women to give household or child care help. As to the explanation for these differences, social class is the key factor; cultural variables have little effect. Our findings support a theoretical framework attending to intersections among ethnicity, gender, and class.

Informal kin caregivers raising children left behind in rural China: Experiences' feelings' and support

The well‐being of children in informal kinship care and their caregivers is a growing concern globally. This study explored the lived experiences of 23 kin caregivers raising children left behind in rural Northeast China while their migrant parents worked and lived in cities. The findings show that the expected authority and responsibility caregivers carry sometimes conflict with their social role of being children's grandparents. Caregivers' feelings about and understandings of these roles are shaped through their social interactions in local communities. In view of their situation and caregivers' self‐conscious attitudes towards utilizing local resources' future formal service provision and social support should take caregivers' viewpoints into account. These views are embedded in and shaped by their rural living context and relationships with community members who influence caregivers' perceptions and child rearing practices.

Management and Succession:

Aspects of management and succession in any business can be analysed as though they involved intergenerational family relationships, whether in fact or by metaphor. Summaries are provided of research on management of offspring and intergenerational succession in business families and then extended metaphorically to managament and succession when the people involved are not relatives. Metaphoric analysis leads to a discussion of family of origin intrusions into work situations and the issues involved in succession when a successor and person succeeded are markedly different in age.
