With or without U? Assemblage theory and (de)territorialising the university

ABSTRACT

Contemporary changes in the domain of knowledge production are usually seen as posing significant challenges to ‘the University’. This paper argues against the framing of the university as an ideal-type, and considers epistemic gains from treating universities as assemblages (e.g. DeLanda, M. 2016. Assemblage Theory. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press) of different functions, actors and relations. It contrasts this with the concept of ‘unbundling’, using two recent cases of controversies around academics’ engagement on social media to show how, rather than having clearly delineated limits, social entities become ‘territorialised’ through boundary disputes. The conclusion extends this discussion to the production of knowledge about social objects in general.     

稿源结构与学报的学术质量

高等院校学报的稿源结构主要由单位信息、学历信息、职称信息和课题信息构成,学报稿源结构优良与否与学报学术质量的高低有很大关系。文章随机选择了部分财经类高校学报进行稿源结构对比研究,结果证实,稿源结构好的学报,其学术质量必然高;而稿源结构差的学报,其学术质量相对较低。     

Experiential learning in doctoral training programmes: fostering personal epistemology through collaboration

There has been increasing recognition for the need to reform doctoral training practices to foster students’ personal epistemology. This study describes the design and evaluation of a learning experience designed to help students understand the scholarly publication process. Firstly, this study discusses the design of the learning experience, describing the collaborative process of writing an interdisciplinary publication using both online and face-to-face learning. Secondly, this study evaluates the effectiveness of the learning experience by examining students’ reflections. We show that participation in the learning experience helped students to develop their academic writing proficiency, collaboration and teamwork, intercultural competence, and ability to engage in reflective practice. Importantly, we show that each student also created more individualised knowledge, gaining insight into how they and others think. This study, therefore, demonstrates that personal epistemology can be fostered through collaboration in a doctoral writing group context.     

年谱学的一个新创例--胡适<章实斋先生年谱>述评

与以往年谱“单记行事”,只记谱主好处,不说谱主坏处不同,胡适的《章实斋先生年谱》抓住谱主史学理论家的特点,全面深入挖掘谱主在史学理论方面的卓越贡献,也揭示和批评了谱主在社会伦理观念上的“卫道”偏见。这使本谱具有重大的学术价值,也为年谱学开创了一种新的体例。     

A Loyalty Tax? National Measures of Academic Salary Compression

This paper presents measures of faculty salary compression for 1993 and 1999 based on national, rather than institutional-level, data. Using a recently developed technique and two national faculty surveys, actual junior to senior salary ratios are derived as well as predicted salary ratios that represent what the salary ratios would be if junior and senior faculty were similarly compensated for their productive traits. The analysis, which considers three alternative definitions of junior faculty and stratifies results by institutional type, produces an overall finding of no salary compression. A limited number of disciplines, including business and economics, however, do exhibit signs of salary compression.     

鲁迅研究的世纪玄览

鲁迅作为20世纪中国最伟大的思想家、学家和精神革命家，以了深刻的精神力量影响了一个世纪的好几代人。对于他的反响、评论和研究，也几乎横亘了整整一个世纪。对鲁迅研究这一学术景观，做一番世纪玄览，能够从一个侧面透视20世纪中国精神化现象史的变迁，     

大学内部学术管理有效运行的理念平台研究

大学内部学术管理是大学管理核心，学术管理能否有效运行直接关系到大学的发展。大学内部学术管理的有效运作需要两个理念平台：一是凸显“学术权力”在学术管理中的主角地位；二是学术自由应是学术管理的基本理念。当然，学术管理中不能忽略行政权力的重要作用，同时，学术自由无论是作为一种制度还是一种理念，都应有其“适用度”。     

学术期刊审稿人力资源的开发和利用

学术期刊优化审稿人员配置和使用的关键在于改变目前松散粗放的选用方式,转向系统集约的审稿人力资源开发和利用。学术期刊编辑部必须遵循一般规律,坚持基本原则,明确主要途径,选择恰当技术,科学开发审稿人力资源。同时,要采取得力措施,充分、合理地利用内部审稿人力资源和外部审稿人力资源。     

论学术期刊栏目形态策划与编辑分类体系的建构

学术期刊特色栏目的策划和科学的编辑分类思想理论体系的建构,在推进学术期刊张扬自我学术优势和创造品牌的过程中占有十分重要的地位。当代我国学术期刊的学术栏目形态策划和栏目编辑分类思想理论发展趋势呈现出以下趋势:从综合性栏目→特色栏目→专题栏目,在整合的基础上由宽泛、分散向具体、专门与精细化递进,由粗放型栏目编辑分类向创造集约型、品牌型栏目编辑分类转换。学术刊物栏目的生成机理大致可分为原生形态、依托形态和争鸣形态。衡量栏目水平的标准包括:充分发挥刊物自身的独特优势且具有不可替代的特色,由栏目突破带动期刊整体的自觉优化,栏目的学术影响力和对社会发展的贡献等。
