Persuasive Narratives and Costly Actions

Persuasive narratives can induce some individuals to engage in costly actions. Entrepreneurs of suicide missions frame the necessity of violent behavior within the context of persuasive narratives to attract potential recruits. Herein we report results from an experiment to test factors involved with costly action linked to a persuasive narrative. We recruited 164 participants (M = 21, SD = 5.20) and measured hormones, electrodermal activity, and personality to predict who would be influenced by the narrative's message. We found that the persuasive narrative we tested resulted in costly action by those who are high-perspective takers and are more physiologically aroused by the narrative. The findings fill lacunae in the literature, providing a novel approach to examine costly behavior (like martyrdom missions) in the laboratory.     

Competing to Kill: Terrorist Organizations Versus Lone Wolf Terrorists

Are organizationally linked suicide attacks deadlier than those launched by lone wolf terrorists? This article elaborates a perpetrator-based distinction among suicide terrorist attacks between organizations and lone wolf terrorists, who operate in the absence of a financially or physically supportive terrorist organization. The expectation is that terrorist organizations would serve as commitment tools that increase the loyalty of suicide bombers to their missions through material and non-material incentives. Findings demonstrate that when terrorist organizations are involved in the planning and execution of suicide terrorist attacks, not only do they increase the lethality of these attacks but they also accentuate the tactical advantages of suicide terrorism. These findings suggest that despite the recent upsurge and concern about lone wolf terrorism, the lethality and security impacts of suicide terrorism continue to be driven by terrorist organizations.     

论关东文化选择及其对区域经济的意义

“关东文化模式”包含了制度性依赖、外来性促进和官本位的基础 3个因素 ,这 3个方面既促进了昔日东北区域经济的辉煌 ,又是今日“东北现象”的内在根源。区域文化是区域经济发展的根基 ,要重振东北经济必须改造“关东文化模式”。特别要剔除其制度依赖性、人际关系网过于浓厚等糟粕 ,以流动代僵化、以变革促发展、以破旧来迎新是东北文化改造的出路     

俄罗斯汉学的发展演变及其现实意义

中俄两国是最大的邻国,有着世界陆地上最长的海岸线,边界长达4 500公里。中国历史悠久,文化灿烂,自古为礼仪之邦。加强中俄两国的文化研究,是历史和现实的需要,只有俄罗斯人懂得汉语,理解中国的文化载体,才能了解中国,才能成为中国的朋友,才能进行良好的沟通,加强文明间的对话,才能减少偏见,消除隔阂和误解。俄罗斯的汉学家为传播中国文化作出了自己应有的贡献,在国际汉学界独树一帜。对俄罗斯汉学历史进行梳理和总结,不仅有益于两国的文化交流和各领域合作,更能全面认识中俄关系,进一步促进两国战略协作伙伴关系长期、健康、稳定的发展,同时也有利于促进国际汉学的研究与发展。

20世纪最值得历史反思的莫过于苏联诞生和苏联解体。这不是自生自灭的简单的历史变迁 ,而是两种意识形态、两种文化和两种价值观较量的结果。其中 ,民族主义因素起着不可忽略的作用 ,尤其在苏联解体后新俄罗斯面临文化转型 ,民族主义更是起着举足轻重的作用。苏联解体至今已过十余年 ,俄罗斯诸多问题仍悬而未决。如何坚持民族传统 ,发挥其积极意义 ,克服其负面影响 ,依然是摆在俄罗斯学术界和理论界面前的新课题 ,同时也是值得世人研究的重大而又深刻的课题。林精华先生的新著《民族主义的意义与悖论——关于 2 0— 2 1世纪之交文化转型问题…     

UN contributions to development thinking and practice

This brief article highlights some major contributions made by the United Nations to development thinking and practice from 1945 to 2000. The term ‘development’ is used here broadly to refer not only to increases in economic growth and per capita income and to structural change, but also to progress in promoting human rights, poverty reduction, employment generation, fairer distribution of the benefits of growth, participation in decision making at different levels, equality of men and women, child development and well-being, and social justice and environmental sustainability. There is first a discussion of the values that have underpinned UN work on development. This is followed by a summary of some key contributions made by the UN system to thinking on development issues. The article concludes with some observations on the ways in which these contributions were made and on strengths and weaknesses of the system in generating development ideas and action.

Using yoshikono and war to save rakugo in Osaka

Abstract

In April 1936, the magazine Kamigata hanashi (Kamigata Story) was launched in Osaka. This was a rakugo (traditional comic storytelling) magazine published monthly out of a local storyteller's home. One mission of the magazine as laid out by the editor in the inaugural issue was to preserve a local narrative tradition that was losing a popularity battle with manzai (two-person stand-up comedy) and other modern performing arts and media. Interestingly, in the second year of the magazine's run, the editor issued a call for yoshikono, which, like dodoitsu, are songs conventionally written in lines of 7-7-7-5. This too was a tradition that, it was written, needed a champion. Yoshikono submissions increased with each issue until they filled multiple pages, reaching into the hundreds. Prizes were given for the best entries, and public yoshikono gatherings were advertised – singers and shamisen players were even enlisted in what appears to be an attempt to revive a community performance tradition with historic links to storytelling in Osaka. This article shines light on the largely forgotten art of yoshikono, discusses its role in an Osaka rakugo magazine from 1937 to 1940, offers forty verses in translation, and considers why yoshikono was unable to make a comeback after the Second World War.

指称转喻研究的认知与功能视角

转喻研究由来已久,本文对国内外语言学界的指称转喻研究进行梳理,追溯指称转喻研究历经的四种视角：修辞视角、结构视角、认知视角和符号视角。在这四种理论视角中,影响最久远的是修辞观,当今最盛行的是认知观。未来对于指称转喻的研究需要将认知视角与功能视角结合起来,既要关注指称转喻使用的个体维度,又不能忽视指称转喻使用的群体特征。

美国对中越西沙海战的反应

西沙海战爆发后,美国采取不介入的立场,军事上不介入中越海战,外交上不支持任何国家对西沙和南沙群岛的领土要求。其主要原因是：其一,美国认为这两个群岛的主权归属难以确定;其二,西沙海战的交战双方是南越和中国,美国难以取舍;其三,美国已经自越南撤军,出于国内政治的考虑,不愿意也难以介入西沙海战;其四,从根本上讲,美国的国家战略决定其必然采取不介入的政策。美国关注海战后军事和外交局势的发展,同时采取措施,尽量避免其盟国与中国之间发生战事,以推行其反苏遏苏的国家大战略。

The Perception and Reaction of Indonesia to the Belt and Road Initiative and Suggestions for China's Response

Participation,support and understanding of countries along the Belt and Road are requisites for promoting and implementing this major initiative.Indonesia,a major ASEAN economy,is crucial but Indonesia has a limited perception of the B&R initiative.Although its government welcomes it and the ruling coalition cooperates positively,parts of the military and opposition are skeptical of China's intent.The B&R initiative is well-received among the Indonesian Chinese group,while Indonesian academic circles remain cautious and somewhat critical.From a Chinese viewpoint,easing negative or hostile emotions appropriately would be well-timed.China should settle the Natuna issue,adjust its publicity in Indonesia,use diplomacy,and promote Sino-Indonesia cultural exchange and commtnications.Chinese enterprises should focus on project quality and uphold social responsibilities.Short-term goals are reducing Indonesia's opposition and obstruction of B&R,while long-term goals are enhancing the recognition and likeability of the Initiative 's worthwhile plans.     

欧洲煤钢联营及其对东北亚经济一体化的启示

在欧洲一体化的进程中 ,欧洲煤钢联营是最具有决定性意义的一步。从某种意义上说 ,欧洲一体化是以政治和军事需要开始的产业部门的联合 ,进而在其经验的基础上发展起来的全面联合。这一过程中 ,在机构、制度建设上 ,欧洲联邦主义人士的积极推动都起到了积极作用。展望东北亚区域经济合作 ,我们认为 ,为实现东北亚经济的一体化 ,在推进总体经济一体化的进程中 ,应同时考虑探索产业部门领域的联合。另外 ,为了东北亚经济一体化不致失败且长期发展 ,还应该建立超越各国利害关系的跨国性制度和机构 ,更重要的是还需要有一批为东北亚经济一体化而献身的人才。     

Social Network Analysis to evaluate organisational networks on sexual health and rights

There are many challenges in evaluating international networks. The use of conventional tools can be difficult and often provides less than useful information. Social Network Analysis offers benefits for network evaluators by allowing for documentation and analysis of inter-relationships between individuals and organisations. This paper describes the use of this approach in the evaluation of a major international project entitled the Global Dialogues on Sexual Health and Well-being. It highlights the value of maps in enabling clear visual representations of networks, the identification of areas needing greater focus and the basis on which networks are constructed.

Analyse des réseaux sociaux pour évaluer les réseaux organisationnels sur les droits et la santé génésiques
