The Changing Business of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art: Markets,Audiences, Artists,and the Large Art Fairs

ABSTRACT

This article analyzes the relationship between the growth of large Australian Aboriginal art fairs and shifts in the fine art market and state policies; audience and art insiders' experiences; and the implications of art fair participation for artists and art centers. In contrast to the traditional gallery model, the art fairs draw buyers and artists together in regional centers, along with families, managers, curators, commentators, administrators, and politicians. Using the assemblages concept, we analyze the emergence of a new engagement that prioritizes social, cultural, and interpersonal aspects of art making and where buyers consume “relational goods” linked to their purchasing context.     

Can order of general and specific memory prompts help children to recall an instance of a repeated event that was different from the others?

Does asking about the general event before asking about a specific instance help children to report details of a particular instance of a repeated event that was different from the others? Six- to eight-year-old children either experienced or heard stories about a magic show. An equal number of children had one, four, or six similar experiences. One week later, half of the children were asked to describe what happens during the magic shows and then what happened during the target experience and half were asked what happened followed by what happens. Following free recall, all children were asked cued recall questions about the target instance. Memory reports were more complete when the general prompt was administered first than when it was administered second. Implications for the forensic interviewing of children who allege repeated abuse are discussed.     

网络群体性事件网民心理特点及疏导研究

近些年,网络的普及与社会问题相撞导致网络群体性事件频发。作为网络群体性事件的参与者,网民在其中发挥着举足轻重的作用。若要预防并控制网络群体性事件的产生及发展,保持社会和谐稳定,掌握网民心理是关键。分析近五年中国互联网络发展状况统计报告,挑选年龄、学历、职业三个主要网民属性,分别进行心理特点研究并提出疏导方法,使网络群体性事件防控工作能够有的放矢,标本兼治。     

退出，呼吁和忠诚模型视角下的群体性事件分析

群体性事件是民众面对政府绩效衰退时的一种呼吁,民众无法自由迁徙则是退出权的缺失。认为退出权的不同和忠诚即民众对政府的信任是群体性事件频发的两个重要原因,此外还包括参与人数,呼吁的成本,需求质量弹性等。降低群体性事件,应加强民众对政府的信任（提高忠诚感）,逐步实现人口的自由迁徙（增加退出权）,畅通利益诉求渠道（提高呼吁有效性）。     

Campaign civility under preferential and plurality voting

We present reasons to expect that campaigns are less negative under preferential voting. We then examine if preferential voting systems affect how people perceive the conduct of elections. This paper reports results from surveys designed to measure voters‘ perceptions of candidates’ campaigns, comparing places with plurality elections to those that used preferential voting rules. Our surveys of voters indicate that people in cities using preferential voting were significantly more satisfied with the conduct of local campaigns than people in similar cities with plurality elections. People in cities with preferential voting were also less likely to view campaigns as negative, and less likely to respond that candidates were frequently criticizing each other. Results are consistent across a series of robustness checks.     

中泰关系近况与泰国社会厌华情绪

中泰战略伙伴关系发展良好,这表现在双边政治、经济、文化关系的迅速发展上。但是,近几年来,在"一带一路"的大背景下,随着到泰国的中国游客和中资企业的不断增加,泰国社会舆论中出现了一股厌华情绪。本文将分析这种情绪的表现和产生这种情绪的根源,并向中泰双方决策者提出建议。     

逆向平权选举的工具依赖——国家法团主义协调机制

参与选举是维护公民政治权利的一种基本形式,通过立法落实各选举原则是保障公民选举权的逻辑前提。根据乘积原理,公民选举权的落实状况是由各选举原则所组成的关系系统决定的,挖掘各选举原则的核心要素并分析这些要素在选举中发挥作用的有效程度,就可以推导出落实公民选举权的一般情形。在我国,以逆向平权为基本运行规则的选举逻辑根植于国家法团主义内部,数量有限的各法定团体和组织以责任明确、非竞争性的方式参与各项政治选举,它们在政治表达和代理人选择方面给予国家以组织化的支持并自愿接受国家的控制。这种以利益协调为本位的制度设计,是各选举组织的民意代表功能明显不足的现实缘由。     

对铁路站车群体性事件处置战术的研究

由于铁路在国民经济发展中所处的特殊位置,它往往成为群体性事件的聚焦点,闹事群体采取冲击铁路、拦车断道、聚众上访等方式,向路地党政有关部门乃至中央施压的群体性事件呈逐年上升趋势。研究探索有铁路公安特色的铁路站车群体性事件处置新战术、新方法、新预案,运用处置战术,对于预防和处置铁路站车群体性事件、打造平安铁路站车具有十分重要的现实意义。     

对公安执法活动中消极作为的成因透析和对策思考

目前民警在执法活动中主要存在四种消极作为现象:失职不作为,违规乱作为,茫然不知为,作为不到位。公安执法消极作为的原因既有作为人执法思想不端、执法素能不高的主观因素,也有执法监督不力、执法环境不佳的客观因素。公安机关要把党的方略、历史任务和先进理念体现在权力运行上,树立人民警察以人为本、执法为民的理念,进一步解决公安执法消极作为问题。
