On Music,Censorship, and Globalization

Malik Bendjelloul’s music documentary, Searching for Sugar Man (2012), uses the narrative of its central figure, American rock “n” roll musician Sixto Rodriguez, to allegorize South Africa’s emergence from censorship and isolationism to a post-apartheid and increasingly transnational dispensation. I look at the cultural politics of apartheid-era censorship in attempt to account for Rodriguez’s cult appeal in South Africa, despite his artistic shortcomings and his obscurity in the USA. I then focus on the film’s final concert sequence, featuring Rodriguez’s first South African performance, which Bendjelloul subtly positions as a moment of celebration over the new possibilities enabled by the demise of apartheid and the rise of an increasingly integrated global culture.     

利己利他双重人性论

从利益角度,人性可分为利己人性和利他人性,利己和利他是同一个人人性的两个方面。但利己性和利他性在现实中的行为表现随着历史条件和社会环境的变化而变化,取决于社会制度和各种环境。塑造以利己利他双重人性为基础的“道德经济人”是社会主义市场经济发展的必然要求。     

从波兰尼到格兰诺维特:“社会人”对“经济人”假设的反拨与超越——兼议新经济社会学的最新进展

作为西方经济学理论体系的硬核,“经济人”假设从形成起就不断受到“社会人”假设的反拨与挑战,促使经济学理论体系不断调整自己的保护带,推动整个经济学学科理论的发展。波兰尼的“嵌入”理论对“经济人”假设的批判是颠覆性的。为后来的学者建构以“社会人”假设为基础的经济社会学理论做好了铺垫。格兰诺维特等建立的新经济社会学首先把人视为“社会人”,再考察其置身其内的社会关系和制度空间。进而分析其经济行为的激励因素,对传统的理性选择、效用驱动的经济模型所提出的那些理论进行补充解释甚至是替代解释。这种基于相同研究对象而引起的学科交流和对话已势在必行。     

百年中的中国民法华丽转身与曲折发展——中国民法一百年历史的回顾与展望

中国民法已经走过了一百年的历史,其中大清民律草案、民国民律草案和民国民法典在中华法系民法的基础上实现了一个华丽转身,走向了继受欧陆民法的不归路,适应了当时中国的社会政治、经济、文化生活的需要,实现了中国民法的现代化。1949年以来,当代中国民法经历了艰难曲折的发展,终于迎来了21世纪民法的繁荣和发展。总结经验教训,21世纪的中国民法应当在这条路上继续走下去,创造中国民法的辉煌,造福于21世纪的中国人民。     

Questioning and Pursuing: The Original Sin and Salvation in Dostoevsky’s Literature

The theoretical core of all religions, including Eastern Orthodox, is human being. No matter what changes occurred in history, paradigm, method and vocabulary on Dostoyevsky’s research in the last one hundred years, the Russian Eastern orthodox influenced and disseminated Dostoyevsky through religious doctrine and religious atmosphere, his thinking on human being was completed in the context of Eastern orthodox culture. What Dostoyevsky concerned about was sin and salvation in his whole life. God/man should keep a harmonious binary relationship. Human being has free will, but evil and sin are caused by irrational use of free will. In order to obtain the re-harmonious binary relationship, human being must envisage sin and suffering, and give themselves inner self punishment. The Man of god, Jesus Christ, is the perfect one who could save human beings. Dostoevsky responded original sin and redemption in the orthodox view.     

超越"经济人":对"人口、资源与环境经济学"学科性质的探索

“人口、资源与环境经济学”是一门新兴的经济学学科,有着广阔的理论拓展空间和实践应用领域。“人口资源环境”具有稀缺资源属性,必须对其合理配置,但是“经济人”命题在解释“人口资源环境”行为时,存在个人理性与社会理性的非均衡性,因此在理论和方法论上必须超越“经济人”命题,在宏大的理论范畴内,进行“人口资源环境”行为的经济学研究。     

经济学视角的人的全面自由发展——对马克思人的发展观的理解和思考

人的全面自由发展是马克思理想中的未来社会的基本原则,相对于资本主义社会人的发展的不全面、不自由而提出,其实现依赖于一定的经济制度、物质基础、方法手段和根本条件。在社会主义初级阶段,应从实际出发,完善基本经济制度,大力发展经济、文化和教育,改善人民物质文化生活,逐步提高人的全面自由发展的程度和水平。     

“自造男人”之梦的三重误导——基伦斯《随后我们听到了雷声》对美国男性气质的反思

In John Killens's novel And Then We Heard the Thunder, the protagonist Solomon Sanders could not make the right decision both in his career and marriage, and his personality is often in a split state. This paper maintains that Sanders's practical difficulties and psychological predicaments are closely related to his wrong perception of male identity. All signs indicate that what Sanders identifies is a kind of “Self-Made Man” masculinity which has long been advocated by the mainstream society of America. This model of masculinity's most serious defect lies in the fact that it pays much attention to men's external performance and banishes the spiritual and moral claims in terms of its judgment standard and value orientation. With a full display of Sanders's psychological and practical predicaments, the novel carries out an incisive introspection upon this model of masculinity.     

差异与选择：再论后现代语境下文化帝国主义——从《落叶归根》在美国的热销谈起

后现代论述具有反对意识形态霸权的主导意义和解构整体思维的基本特征.当西方文化语境中的后殖民知识分子形成的后殖民批评理论对主流话语提出质疑时,当美国民族认同的"美国核心文化"受到"多元文化主义"的挑战时,一部用汉语化的英文写成、满含思乡之情并且颂扬儒家文化的散居族裔作家作品在西方应该是被冷落的,但事实却完全相反.其原因何在?美籍华裔女作家马严君玲的自传作品《落叶归根》(Falling Leaves)在西方的一度热销,说明西方文化帝国主义在后现代语境下不再仅以媒体形式输出西方文化,而且开始关注如何实现本土文化的同质性,差异与选择成为其两大新特征.     

中国人治传统的学理批判

建立在自然经济、小生产和宗法关系基础上的传统学术是伦理政治型的学术,教育是伦理政治型的教育。它们崇尚求善而忽视求真,专注于人事而漠视自然;重文轻理,重实用技术轻科学探索;醉心于政治哲学和社会理想的研究,而疏于国家体制、制度的构建和法理的调控;厚古而薄今;学术成为政治的工具和附庸。这就使得传统学术及其政治理论缺乏严格而深厚的科学底蕴,民主法治理念和自由平等意识难以生长,人治的思想、体制和政治运作方式便成为社会常态。
