Employee mistreatment and muted voices in the culturally diverse workplace

This study examines mistreatment through the perspectives of employees with different cultural backgrounds and positions in order to understand the ways in which some voices are muted and others are privileged. Mistreatment is interactional, distributive, procedural, or systemic abuse of employees taking place at both interpersonal and institutional levels on the basis of cultural diversity. Narrative analysis of semi-structured interviews with employees of a large research and development organization revealed three types of muted narratives used to respond to mistreatment (muted-but-engaged, angrily disengaged, and resigned) as well as one type of privileged response. The narratives provided evidence of two processes by which voices became muted: repeated silencing over time and silencing through ambiguity of policies.     

Manufacture and Date of a Goryeo dynasty Sutra Box with Mother-of-pearl Inlaid Decoration at the Rijksmuseum,Amsterdam

Currently, about ten Goryeo dynasty (918–1392 CE) sutra boxes are preserved in museums in Korea, Japan, the United States, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. This article is the result of an examination of a sutra box in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (hereafter ‘Rijksmuseum sutra box’), which was first introduced to a European audience in the Transactions and Proceedings of the Japanese Society, in 1913–1914. The Rijksmuseum sutra box differs from other Goryeo sutra boxes. With its altered structure and modified motifs, this box bears significant value, not only for the research of thirteenth-century Goryeo mother-of-pearl art, but also for the study of cross-cultural adaptations in East Asian lacquer art. This article investigates the date of manufacture of the sutra box by analysing the manufacturing techniques and its various original and modified parts. For this, an X-ray radiograph was carried out for the first time. As a result, discoveries have been made regarding the structure and decoration of the lower part, which has been modified and is different from Goryeo mother-of-pearl sutra boxes. Finally, this paper reconsiders conservation and repair of Goryeo sutra boxes, as illuminated by an understanding of the original and repaired parts of this box.

天赋与才能的辩证思考

天赋对才能的有利或不利,是有限的、可变的、非决定性的,而勤奋努力对才能的作用则是巨大的、稳定的、决定性的。天赋优异并不能代替勤奋,而勤奋却可以弥补天赋不足。所谓“上智与下愚不移”,乃是无视人的主观能动性的形而上学观点,两者不仅可移,而且能够互相转化,“移”和“转化”的最有力的杠杆,就是勤奋。

从人类学视野看明代封贡体系:关于礼物的分析

礼物的交换在明代封贡体系中所具有的作用是不言而喻的，对它的探讨为我们提供了观察这一体系的新视角。文章通过对明代封贡体系中明王朝与藩属国之间的礼物流动、交换的分析发现，这里的礼物同时兼具象征性(表达性)、工具性的意义；且这两种意义相对于封贡双方来说具有非对等性，这是由双方不同的策略与目标所决定的。从精神层面上讲．礼物交换过程体现着儒家文化精神和内涵。
