宋朝和丽日两国的民间交往与汉文化传播--高丽和日本接受宋朝文化的初步比较

本文通过对宋朝出海商人和高丽日本两国入宋求法僧侣在宋版图书外流过程中所起作用的考察 ,意在揭示高丽和日本两国接受宋朝文化的民族性差异。本文认为 ,宋学传播到日本却未播及于高丽 ,是与两国入宋求法僧侣的书籍选择倾向相关的。而两国社会在接受汉文化方面也存在着不小差异 :高丽追求对中国古典文化的全面吸收和模仿 ,而日本却有鲜明的“筛选”意识和现实意识     

《熹平石经》与汉末的政治、文化规范

“熹平石经”是中国历史上第一次碑刻经书、规范文字的浩大工程。后人多从传播书法艺术、规范书面用字的角度认识它和评价它。本文用文化分析的方法,试图通过对“熹平石经”产生背景及其正经定字作用的剖析,揭示出隐藏在文字、学术规范后的文化、政治规范意义。     

挑战真实与虚幻的极限——真人版《美女与野兽》(2017)观影手记

正近年来,美国迪士尼出现了一批用真人电影翻拍原来的动画经典电影的趋势,借助高超精湛的CG技术,让以往只能在动画中呈现的神奇魔幻想像,在真人世界中活灵活现、栩栩如生。真实与虚幻的界限几被模糊。《奇幻森林》票房大卖,《美女与野兽》正在热映。自杭州动漫节连续举办形成相当影响力以来,走在中国动画前列的浙江动画是否可以从以上现象中得到有益的启示?

Learning-by-Consuming and the Dynamics of the Demand and Prices of Cultural Goods

The major distinctive feature of cultural goods is that consumers must learn how to consume them, implying that preferences should be modelled as intertemporally dependent. The canonical model in the literature uses a habit formation analogy. In this paper, we discuss in detail, though in the simplest setup, a consistent preference structure for that model. Then, we derive the implications for the dynamics of two aggregate equilibrium models, a fixed price model and a flexible price model. The learning-by-consuming behaviour is characterised by a preference structure displaying bounded adjacent complementarity in the demand for the cultural good. This implies that there will be short run complementarity between the stocks of culture and financial wealth and that the adjustment of the demand for cultural goods, or of their relative price, will have some inertia. In the exogenous price model, we find that increases in income will raise the long run demand for cultural goods while increases in the relative price will decrease it. In the endogenous price model, an increase in the supply of cultural goods will imply an initial undershooting of the price of cultural goods followed by an upward transition process. Our results seem to be consistent with the empirical results on the demand for cultural goods and seem to offer an explanation for the Baumol and Bowen paradox.JEL Classification: Z1, E21Earlier versions of this paper have been presented at the 1st Conference of the Sociedade Portuguesa de Investigação em Economia (SPiE, 1997) and at the Xth Conference of the Association for Cultural Economics International, 1998, Barcelona.     

试论汉语名词句产生发展的语言及文化原因

名词句是完全由名词或名词性短语组合而成的,体现汉语自身特色的特殊句型.在对名词句的讨论中,名词句成因是关注最多,分歧最大的问题.本文通过名词句大量出现的时代——魏晋南北朝时期的语言及文化因素综合探讨名词句的产生发展原因.     

Peer lending and the subsumption of the informal

The informal financial practices of financially ‘excluded’ groups in the United States are being enrolled in a regulatory project to make new markets and produce financially self-sufficient subjects on the edges of the financial system. Drawing on mixed-methods qualitative research working with nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area, this paper explores how informal rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs) are being repurposed and formalized to make the risks of financially excluded groups legible, tractable and priceable for ‘mainstream’ financial service providers. In so doing, the paper explores how the credit score orders practices and relations that are ‘outside’ of the ‘financial mainstream’. While others have documented how the efforts of NGOs to marketize and commodify the social networks and cultural practices of the poor result in forms of dispossession, this is not what my research finds. Instead, I show how formalized ROSCAs are redistributing calculative agency, and enabling financially underserved groups to exert strategic control over the calculation of their credit scores.

Arts sponsorship and the state of the city

This paper explores the correlation between metropolitan social and economic conditions and corporate arts support in the United States. It is hypothesized that the transition from a manufacturing sector economy to an advanced service sector economy is an important local factor for the increase in corporate arts support.By panel analysis, in eleven metropolitan areas between 1977 and 1991 changes in corporate arts support have been correlated with changes in social and economic conditions, i.e., service sector and manufacturing sector employment, service sector and manufacturing sector income, population's educational attainment, and the degree of dominance by the leading local arts supporting industry.Corporate arts support is higher in metropolitan areas where the population is better educated (=+0.60), the local service sector generates more income (=+0.37) and the local manufacturing sector generates less income (=–0.22).Corporations from the manufacturing sector are mostly indifferent towards arts support. In contrast, corporations from the service sector are supportive of the local arts but they also respond swiftly to a loss in their earnings by discontinuing their arts support.     

The Complementarity Between the Collective and the Individual

Besides his activities as a theoretical physicist, the Belgian Léon Rosenfeld cultivated and showed a lively concern for history of science since his student years. This paper is a study of his publications, correspondence and other endeavours in history of science, mainly during the early Cold War period, in order to explore his essentially Marxist views on science and society and how they differed from those of other Marxists scholars, most notably John D. Bernal and Boris Hessen.     

满族与"京腔京韵"

清代是汉语北京方言出现大幅度变异的时期,这种变异主要是满族入主中原及定鼎京师的影响.清代的整体文化态势使满语淡出于历史文化场域,满族却通过与原来操汉语民族间能动而充分的双向交流互渗,将自身在语言方面的系列信息乃至语言习性,铸入到了北京方言之内.北京方言的突出特点——轻重音处理方式与"儿化韵"大量使用,以及若干满语词汇的留存,都与满人长期打磨玩味北京方言有关.满人在学说汉语文的过程中,本能地规避汉语古音韵及传统文言的态度,也拉动着北京的汉语方言向着自由、晓畅、俗白、平朴的方向伸展.曾经作为清代官话的"京腔京韵"的北京方言,其最为切近白话语体、极富表现力等多项优势,使之在中华民族的现实生活中,发挥着无可替代的重要作用.
