Cinema’s Milieu: Negotiating the movies’ public and popular dimensions in early twentieth-century Brazil

Drawing on extensive archival research, this paper examines the controversies over the place and the role of cinema in early twentieth-century Brazil. It situates these debates in the context of Brazil’s struggle to come to terms with the powerful forces of modernity, in particular with issues of race, immigration, class formation and conflict, and changing gender roles. Tracing the discourses of Brazil’s cultural elites and also the practical responses of film entrepreneurs and exhibitors, the paper discusses how these interactions overlapped with changes taking place in Brazil’s cinematic landscape and illustrates how they had profound effects on film content, its function, and exhibition practices.     

技术创新的外部效应与生态化转向研究

技术创新的外部效应是导致环境污染与生态恶化的诱因之一。在市场条件下,通过征收庇古税等方法,虽然可以纠正这种外部效应,但没有从根本上解除环境污染与生态恶化等问题。实现技术创新生态化,使技术创新朝有利于可持续发展的方向发展是解决技术创新外部效应的必然选择,也是根本出路。

Between Government and Governance: Opening the Black Box of the Transformation Thesis

The notion of going from government to governance, known as the transformation thesis, as depicted in early Governance Theory has been subjected to substantive critique. This paper explores two different stances of such critique. The first critical stance is represented by Jonathan S. Davies’ 2011 book “Challenging Governance Theory: From networks to hegemony” and entails a radical rejection of the transformation thesis. The second stance offers a more moderate reconfiguration of the transformation thesis and is represented by the recently co-authored work of several prominent governance theorists titled “Interactive Governance: Advancing the paradigm”. While both aspire to set new agendas for governance research, this paper argues that the latter reconfiguration carries a problematic preposition towards overemphasizing the separation between government and governance practices.     

Tradition and modernity: an obsolete dichotomy? Binary thinking,indigenous peoples and normalisation

The debates over Indigenous peoples and development are often framed within the discussion on the shift towards modernity, the imposition of economic liberalism and resistance against external interventions, with a tendency to see Indigenous peoples as a possible alternative to the world economic order. However, looking at many development agencies’ discourses, the idea that Indigenous peoples will actually benefit from modernity prevails. The literature is divided along these two conflicting views and dominated by binary oppositions: traditional/modern; backward/advanced; sustainable/unsustainable, etc. This article discusses the tradition/modernity dichotomy and raises the following questions: is it relevant to think in terms of modernity/tradition in the case of Indigenous peoples? What does the use of such a dichotomy imply? What is the alternative? The article demonstrates that this binary opposition is neither relevant nor desirable, and that a new analytical framework is required. Instead, it proposes using a normalisation framework, which focuses on the attempts made to ‘normalise’ Indigenous peoples and to encourage them to comply with existing social and economic models.     

文学与博览会的对话——以1935年台湾博览会为中心

1935年的台湾博览会,台湾总督府作为策展者,力求将台湾装扮成“繁荣”、“昌盛”的形象,这些展示成了外界判定“日本殖民有功论”的资料证据。当时,台湾知识分子对博览会有相关的记述和叙事,他们以自己的“小叙述”,或纠正,或对抗策展者的“大叙述”。经由博览会这一空间,可以解读出台湾“殖民现代性”的驳杂性和多义性。     

以科技侦查推动侦查模式的根本变革

现代社会,犯罪数量持续高发,犯罪类型不断衍生,犯罪手段不断升级,犯罪活动方式不断变化,给侦查工作带来了许多新的挑战。如果仍然以“人证为主”的侦查模式作为侦查工作的主导模式,必然导致侦查成本成倍增加,破案率大幅下降。侦查模式由“人证”向“物证”的转变势在必行。在实现刑事侦查模式的转化中,现代科学技术在实现现代“物证”的司法证明中发挥了巨大的作用。科学技术能客观、及时地提供科学证据,在未来的司法活动中将大显身手。     

诱惑侦查之立法困惑——新刑诉法第151条的相关问题讨论

为了惩治犯罪的需要,现实中侦查机关经常采用有关人员隐蔽身份搜集信息、获取证据的手段,但是刑诉法中一直未见其相关规定。实践中的频繁运用与法律上的空白规定不符合目前侦查工作的需要。因此,新修订的刑诉法在"侦查"一章"技术侦查措施"一节作出了相关规定,对此种侦查措施进行法律调整。然而,该规定仍然存在一些不明确的地方,比如其在章节中的位置问题、但书的内涵等。     

东北振兴政策实践效果评价与政策启示——基于全要素生产率增长的全国比较

通过利用马奎斯特(DEA-Malmquist)指数计算得到我国各省的全要素生产率增长及其构成,对比分析东北三省与全国各省的计算情况,发现2003~2007年我国东北振兴政策实践未达到理想效果,提出东北振兴政策的一个重点指向就是对技术研发与创新、资源节约和生产要素高效利用进行大力支持。     

现代性与后现代性视域中的黑格尔与马克思

如何理解马克思与黑格尔之间的关系,是理解马克思哲学及其当代意义的重要问题。黑格尔哲学显然是一种现代性的哲学话语。过度强调两者的连续性,即意味着将马克思哲学也同样理解为一种现代性的哲学话语,这就涂改遮蔽了马克思在颠覆形而上学、批判现代性过程中所呈现出的后现代性意蕴。事实上,正是在黑格尔哲学的断裂处,在传统形而上学的终结处,在现代性哲学的终结地,马克思开启了一种新的哲学范式,它标志着现代性的终结和后现代性的开端。
