Abstract As the U.S.-Mexico border becomes more diverse and militantly guarded, interactions between various cultural groups grow more frequent and convoluted. This article describes the ways in which a group of Chinese transnationalists as recent arrivals (re)construct the meanings of El Paso in quotidian interactions. Recurrent themes on the ways in which participants constructed El Paso as an unauthentic American space are discussed. I argue that spatial identities are products of various forces and further reconceptualize the natural connections between place, people, and culture. 相似文献

Ranking systems such as The Times Higher Education’s World University Rankings and Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s Academic Rankings of World Universities simultaneously mark global status and stimulate global academic competition. As international ranking systems have become more prominent, researchers have begun to examine whether global rankings are creating increased inequality within and between universities. Using a panel Tobit regression analysis, this study assesses the extent to which markers of inter-institutional stratification and organizational segmentation predict global status among US research universities as measured by position in ARWU. Findings indicate some support that both inter-institutional stratification and organizational segmentation predict global status. 相似文献

Abstract An integration of critical and interpretive perspectives frames the analysis of interview discourse from participants in a U.S. peace-building dialogue program during 1997–1998. Israeli, Palestinian, and Palestinian/Israeli identified participants’ discourse reveals that they negotiate multiple and contextually contingent cultural identifications, and that the context both enables and constrains their relationships with each other. Discursive themes demonstrate the complexity and struggle in which participants position themselves and exercise levels of agency, and negotiate their cultural and intercultural relationships. The findings of the study substantiate calls by scholars and practitioners to incorporate contextual factors such as history, politics, social hierarchies, and agency into research and training models of intergroup dialogue. 相似文献

A fierce debate ensued after the announcement in 1913 in the U.S.A. that all rights and ownership of radium-bearing ores found
on public land would be reserved by the government. At stake was the State monopolization of radium that pitted powerful industrialists
with radium claims, mainly in the Colorado area, against the Bureau of Mines and prestigious physicians who wished to reserve
radium for medical uses. This article describes the strategies of one of the biggest U.S. radium industries that dominated
the radium market, created huge customer bases, and legitimized their role within the scientific community. In contrast to
the European “radium situation,” radium extraction, production, and marketing in the United States was controlled by the industry;
and industrial in-house research was clearly separate from that done in academic circles. The production of knowledge was
ready-made in the factory and was entangled with commercial orders and advertising patterns.

Trade in information goods is particularly sensitive to the strength of intellectual property rights (IPR) and encounters
an apparently different pattern of imitation threat compared with manufacturing trade, but the information goods trade–IPR
nexus is less systematically investigated. This article analyzes whether and how U.S. information goods exports are sensitive
to national differences in IPR protection and the degree of threat-of-imitation from the dynamic perspective. Employing the
technique of instrumental variables for a dynamic panel model to consider the hysteretic effect and controlling the endogeneity
problem, the empirical results show that the strength of the importing country’s IPR protection overall exhibits a trade-enhancing
effect, supporting the standpoint that stronger IPR protection will induce more trade. Moreover, we adopt the piracy rate
as a proxy for threat-of-imitation to examine its role on the information goods trade–IPR nexus. Empirical findings validate
the prevalence of the market expansion effect wherever the degree of imitation threat of importing countries is high or low,
because the technology level and production cost of reproduction are very low. It implies that the existing theory on threat-of-imitation
may not apply to the information goods trade.
