论“文化工业”理论的范式困境

本文通过论证,认为法兰克福学派所展开的“文化工业”理论隐藏着研究范式的当代危机。这一危机集中体现在三个方面:第一,生产范式的理论误读,它表现为对社会存在的抽象化理解和对文化自律的乌托邦期待;第二,交往范式的形而上学否定,这导致政治民主空间的遗忘和文化批判的精英化倾向;第三,意义范式的生存论遮蔽,它体现为对日常生活意义生成的忽视和人类主体性的美学逃遁。     

The End of Wilderness: Conflict and Defeat of Wilderness in the Grand Canyon

In the early 1970s, Grand Canyon National Park intended to designate its land to “Wilderness,” including the controversial Colorado River corridor. However, by the end of the 1970s the potential for Wilderness designation was off the table, and would never seriously return for genuine consideration. Using Schattschneider's model of conflict, we explain how the organization of this conflict privileges the “causal story” of Wilderness opponents, and therefore why the canyon is not designated. It is our contention that members of Congress will not stand forward to support Wilderness designations without simultaneously providing benefits for extractive land use because (1) congressional representatives are more penalized for supporting than opposing Wilderness designations, (2) Wilderness advocacy groups do not pressure congressional delegates as firmly as opposition groups, and (3) key local congressional members are not likely to see Wilderness as a salient issue worth the risk of negative exposure. If these findings hold, the implication is that we may have reached the end of significant Wilderness designations in highly visible areas, unless critical aspects in land use conflict change.     

Race and Ethnicity: Responsible Use from Epidemiological and Public Health Perspectives

While the concepts of race and ethnicity have been abused historically, they are potentially invaluable in epidemiology and public health. Epidemiology relies upon variables that help differentiate populations by health status, thereby refining public health and health care policy, and offering insights for medical science. Race and ethnicity are powerful tools for doing this. The prerequisite for their responsible use is a society committed to reducing inequalities and inequities in health status. When this condition is met, it is irresponsible not to utilize these concepts.     

经济全球化与福利经济制度改革

经济全球化进程的加快使一国政府对国内经济政策的控制力减弱,并使各福利国家的社会福利政策面临新的挑战。经济全球化推动了新自由主义理论的发展,动摇了福利经济制度实施的理论基础;并使福利经济制度由二战后的凯恩斯主义“福利国家”向工作福利国家转变;它既使国家的经济组织和行为边缘化,同时又推动了福利经济制度在全球的发展。各“福利国家”一方面积极参与、推进全球化和经济国际化;同时又根据环境的变化对福利经济制度进行改革,其改革的趋势是逐步从“普遍性原则”向“定向原则”过渡,社会福利朝着社会化、市场化、私人化、多元化、国际化等方向发展。中国政府也应积极寻求国际合作以主动参与全球化,同时对福利经济制度进行改革,建立完善的社会福利制度体系,使社会福利的供给者多元化,加强社区建设,协调和增进中国社区和社会组织在国家、集体和个人权益、责任上的高度一致性。     

The Effect of Negotiation Practices on the Relationship between Suppliers and Customers

This article examines the effects of negotiation practices, such as coercion and contract formality, on how suppliers and customers perceived the resulting business relationship. We conducted a purchasing negotiation simulation with students in a classroom setting in which participants competed for resources in a mock supply-chain context. The participants were surveyed at key stages of the ongoing negotiation in order to measure their behaviors as a customer–supplier relationship developed. The data were used to test several hypotheses developed from the marketing and purchasing literature. The hypotheses were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
Results demonstrated that the use of coercive techniques by negotiators during negotiation had a negative effect on satisfaction. In addition, the findings showed that, as expected, negotiators entering a negotiation with a cooperative orientation would tend to avoid the use of coercive practices during negotiation. The cooperative orientation also exhibited an unexpected positive effect on the formalization of the design of the contract between the parties. This study contributes to the current knowledge base focusing on the creation of agreements between companies and will, we hope, encourage the integration of suppliers and customers in an operating context within a supply-chain setting.     

Demand Pull Technology Transfer Applied to the Field of Assistive Technology

Technology transfer has generally had little impact on the assistive technology industries serving small, highly fragmented “disability markets.” Persons with disabilities often require specialized, relatively sophisticated technology. Third-party payer reimbursement rates and the low levels of disposable income among disability populations often cap product pricing. Transferring technology to these industry segments therefore poses special challenges. In October 1998, the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Technology Transfer initiated the “Demand-Pull Project on Wheeled Mobility.” Successful transfers resulting from this project demonstrate that a systematic technology transfer process can be successfully applied to industries serving specialized and underserved niche markets.
