Glocalization and Other Challenges to Cataloging Chinese Continuing Resources

ABSTRACT

Glocalization describes the adaptation of international products around the particularities of a local culture, and extends to areas beyond political campaigns and cultural communication. Chinese continuing resources are effectively influenced by glocalization, which reflects the changing society in China and Chinese overseas communities, as well as the changing practice in Chinese studies all over the world. Glocalization brings unexpected challenges to a library's cataloging service, and a number of issues need to reach our awareness and be solved. We have to face squarely its influence, and look for an appropriate solution in handling Chinese continuing resources under glocalization.     

Search boundaries: human flesh search,privacy law,and internet regulation in China

This research examines privacy law and Human Flesh Search (HFS) on the Chinese Internet. HFS is spontaneous, widely participated search and publication of targeted individuals’ personal information on the Internet. This research sees HFS as an important form of non-institutional information gathering and publication, and argues that the regulation of HFS is not only about privacy but also line-drawing for information collection and dissemination in the digital setting. Therefore, legal instruments and court cases in relation to HFS and online privacy must be assessed as important components of the Chinese state’s Internet regulatory scheme. This research finds that the paired concepts of ‘flexibility and populism,’ key features of legal reform and development in contemporary China, are highly relevant to analyze the growth of digital privacy laws in China. The political-legal authorities’ experimentation and innovation in the development of the law shed important light on how China’s Internet governance adapts to changing circumstances and strives to keep pace with profound social transformations in new technological environments.     

Worn Grooves

Drawing from visual, material and written archival sources, this article critically explores some of the functions, uses and perceived values of recorded sound during the First World War and in its aftermath. An instrument of communication as well as commemoration, the gramophone helped bridge geographical (and, in some cases, cultural) distances between the home front and the rear, providing civilians with the fleeting illusion of presence, proximity, or even sentimental communion with the front. The article analyses (a) the affective and connective, but also propagandist, values of commercial wartime recordings as they circulated between the home and the front, (b) the popular notion of gramophones as regulatory instruments of civilisation, (c) the commemorative exploitations of recorded sound in the interwar period. The article focuses on the British experience, contrasting it with examples drawn from French and German experiences.     

The Formation of Swedish Media Studies, 1960–1980

Around 1960, the politics of the emerging media society in Sweden tended to fixate the formative functions of mass communication. The monopoly of public service broadcast media, press subsidies and new tendencies in film policy were some of the issues around which uncertainty prevailed. New methods to provide reliable data were sought by politicians, since empirical facts were required as arguments for an updated media policy. This article examines the different ways that the field of media studies was introduced in Sweden between 1960 and 1980. We argue that Swedish academic media studies departed from, and emerged within, a rather diffuse borderland between industry, politics and academia. The formation of national media research in Sweden can partly be seen as an effect of politicians and the media industry wanting to be better informed on issues such as media influence, media ownership and the habits and composition of the media audience.

推进教师教育课程创新提高未来教师培养质量——兼谈高师汉语言文学专业的课程改革

师范教育是振兴教育的基础,在"优先发展教育,建设人力资源强国"的宏观背景下,加强师范教育的重要意义正在日益得到彰显。目前的高师教师教育仍不能满足中小学教育实际的需要,从课程建设层面,需要推进教师教育的创新:贯彻科学发展观,建立教师教育的长效机制;适应终身学习的需要,实施"一体化"的培养模式。     

试论汉语方言入声的两种处理模式

现代汉语方言入声两类五型,根据调值和韵尾的情况分为四种处理模式。以苏州和长沙为代表的两种处理模式,李荣先生早已做过专门的精辟的论述,毋需多言;以广州话为代表的处理模式,李先生有过讨论但不够详尽,有进一步讨论的必要;以湖口话为代表的处理模式,至今无人问津,在当今入声走向衰亡的大势之下理当做番具体的剖析。     

民初华侨代议权问题探析

依国际惯例,侨民在母国并无单独的代议权;而华侨则不同,他们在中国享有代议权。民国成立后,华侨积极争取代议权,以当时的临时参议院为中心,在议员间展开了华侨代议权问题的讨论。在华侨联合会的努力下,华侨代议权问题终得到解决。华侨代议权的获得促进了中国政府与海外华侨的密切关系。     

现代信息技术与语文教学整合论

现代信息技术与语文教学的整合是当前语文教学的一种有效模式,主要是借助丰富的网络资源,引导学生主动获取知识;发挥计算机的优势,开发学生的智力和非智力;运用现代信息技术,培养学生的合作精神和实践能力。但不恰当地使用现代信息技术也会对语文教学产生负面影响,如教学资源喧宾夺主,图解扼杀学生的想象力、音像代替语文实践、机器妨碍情感互动、程序淡化教师个性,等等。
