文化生产力理论与我国文化转型

文化生产力物的特性和意识形态性的关系反映了文化生产力的运行方式和发展规律;人的文化主体地位是实现文化生产力的前提条件和基本手段,国家管理文化的职能要围绕人的文化主体地位,恰当处理好主流文化与大众文化,文化事业与文化产业的关系定位;国家文化转型的基本方向和目标应该以转变政府管理文化的职能为突破,使文化生产力的经济能力真正转化为国家文化转型的动力。     

A farm‐sizewise analysis of irrigation distribution in India

This article analyses and describes the relationship between the size of operational holding on the one hand and various irrigation and irrigation‐related variables, on the hand, using cross‐section regression analysis of farm‐sizewise/statewise Indian data. The overall conclusion that emerges from the analysis is that irrigation development in India as a whole seems to be such that its propagation and diffusion among agricultural households seems to be somewhat in favour of larger farms. Even though the government predominantly controls the development and distribution of flow‐sources of irrigation, especially of canal irrigation, it does not seem to have produced any significant positive impact on reducing the level of inequity involved in the distribution of irrigation across farm‐size groups.
