Precarity,Cognitive (Non-)Resistance and the Conservative Working Class in China

ABSTRACT

Workers’ resistance is crucial to understanding how the working class respond to the growing labour precarity in post-socialist China. The labour studies literature posits that inequality and volatile capital movements increase workers’ precarity and lead to stronger labour resistance, such as strikes. However, workers’ cognition as an integral part of resistance has been rarely studied. This article examines cognitive resistance by Chinese workers from different tier cities by looking at their social trust, class identity, understanding of policies and class solidarity. Despite capital movements and precarity causing more labour unrest, it does not necessarily lead to a stronger cognitive resistance. While inequality and precarity are greater in the more developed megacities with a shifting capital favourability, workers in megacities display a more conservative cognitive resistance than those from the lower-tier cities. This study of workers’ cognitive resistance provides insight into the future of the Chinese labour movement. It argues that the working class’s current cognitive non-resistance suggests that even if a window of opportunity were to appear in the wall of state oppression, workers are not cognitively prepared to coalesce into a coherent social movement that would bring about transformative changes.     

2006年中期选举对美国外交内政的影响

由于伊拉克问题的独特影响,美国2006年中期选举可谓是一次外交决定内政的选举。民主党的全胜使得这次选举成为1994年以来最重要的一次中期选举,它不仅决定了美国国会新的政党分野与权力布局,而且对美国的外交内政都产生了较大影响。外交方面,在可预见的一段时间内,国会的外交政策理念将呈现右倾趋势;伊拉克政策可能会出现一定程度的微调,但不会出现戏剧性的剧变;对华政策也可能出现一定的波动。内政方面,其直接影响主要体现在国内经济政策、非法移民政策与国内社会政治思潮等方面。

法治：以人为本——法治的人文关怀之解析

反思中国当前法治建设中遇到的种种瓶颈,其产生的重要原因之一即为法治人文关怀的缺失.人文关怀作为现代法治理念的核心,要求克服法律工具主义,以"个人优位"、"权利本位"模式建立起保障人权,体恤人性的法治运作机制.虽然法治的人文关怀实践是一渐进的过程,还存在许多困难,但法治的人性化却是一个符合社会发展规律的必然的趋势.

中国成都汉族群体三个Y-STR基因座复合扩增及其单倍型的研究

目的建立一种同步检测Y-STR基因座的方法。方法采用复合扩增的方法同时对三个基因座(DYS390、DYS391及DYS393)进行扩增。结果成功地对这三个Y-STR基因座进行了同步扩增,并用其对中国成都汉族群体进行群体遗传学研究。结论三个Y-STR基因座在中国成都汉族群体个人识别几率为0.8965±0.0081,证明这个体系可用于个人识别和群体遗传学研究。     

身高与手印各部位长度相关关系的综合研究

目的全面分析研究手印长度与身高之间的相关关系及其变化规律。方法在全国范围内大量抽样收集不同地区、不同年龄、不同性别人群的手印样本,逐一测量其手印各部位长度,建立数据库,利用计算机进行综合统计、回归分析、比较研究。结果获得了大量的分析数据及回归方程。结论手印各部位长度与身高之间的相关关系明显,可以根据手印各部位长度分析留痕人的身高。
