Grasping at methodological understanding: a cautionary tale from insider research

This article offers an account of a doctoral insider research project that became problematic. The project was investigating mathematics teaching in a university in the UK, and by contrasting the research account with research diary entries pertaining to two interviewees, different interpretations of the interview data are evident. These differences offer illustrations of four aspects of the problematics of interviewing as follows: (1) personal relations and expectations position everyone in the interview; (2) the motivation for the research affects what the researcher learns; (3) the same material generates accounts that emphasize different things; and (4) things happen in people’s heads during the interviews that are not recorded. The argument developed by considering the examples is that authorial voice is constructed out of decisions regarding the data together with considerations regarding the researcher’s position. The validity of insider research requires reflexive consideration of the researcher’s position, and this is especially pertinent in the case of research undertaken by practitioner researchers on professional doctorates.     

On Achebe＇s Writing as an Insider：Things Fall Apart as an Example

为了反击欧洲对非洲的定型化描写,阿契贝在创作中,始终坚持内部书写者的叙述位置。在他看来,非洲的故事必须由非洲人自己来讲述,非洲的文化和历史经验必须在自己的意义系统里来呈现。他所处的文化十字路口又赋予他一种独特的观察位置和理性审视视野。在《瓦解》中,阿契贝既作为内部人在描述着“我们的”传统,又作为与伊博传统文化有一定距离的观察者,对非洲传统文化命运的变迁进行着理性的思考。在建构现代非洲文学主体性方面,阿契贝的思考和实践具有启示意义。     

以《瓦解》为例看阿契贝的内部书写

为了反击欧洲对非洲的定型化描写,阿契贝在创作中,始终坚持内部书写者的叙述位置。在他看来,非洲的故事必须由非洲人自己来讲述,非洲的文化和历史经验必须在自己的意义系统里来呈现。他所处的文化十字路口又赋予他一种独特的观察位置和理性审视视野。在《瓦解》中,阿契贝既作为内部人在描述着"我们的"传统,又作为与伊博传统文化有一定距离的观察者,对非洲传统文化命运的变迁进行着理性的思考。在建构现代非洲文学主体性方面,阿契贝的思考和实践具有启示意义。

保险公司独立董事制度的构建和完善

＂内部人控制＂现象伴随着现代股份制公司的建立而滋生,其产生的根本原因是＂所有者缺位＂以及缺乏规范的公司治理结构。我国保险公司在股份制改造,建立法人治理结构过程中,由于激励机制和监督机制失灵导致＂内部人控制＂。西方国家股份制公司治理的成功经验以及我国独立董事制度的实践表明,将独立董事制度引入保险公司,对完善公司法人治理结构,建立与国际接轨的公司治理模式有着重要作用。     

The return of the native: the blurred boundaries of insider/outsider research in an English secondary school

This paper outlines the methodological issues I faced during my research as a ‘returning native’ in an English secondary school. The empirical research took the form of a three‐year case study and used some ethnographic methods, as it comprised interviews carried out over a period of three academic years in the school in which I was once employed as a teacher. I was also given the opportunity to work in the school as a consultant in the lead‐up to and during its Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (OfSTED) inspection. This enabled me to conduct interviews, observe, interact in informal conversations and participate in the inspection week. In this paper I explore the unique role of the insider‐researcher, or returning native. Not only was this a school in which I had previously worked, but actually participating in the inspection added new layers of complex loyalty.     

少数民族传统体育延续与消亡内在理路与治理省思 ——互动仪式链的视角

运用文献资料法、理论分析法、思辨法等，以“互动仪式链”理论为学理支撑，对少数民族传统体育延续与消亡的原因进行剖析。发现，“仪式活动”是少数民族传统体育活动的“身体共在”与延续的结构性基础，“神秘力量”获得与运动愉悦感是其存续的精神动力；情感沉降、外界屏障与“精英缺失”是造成其消亡的重要原因。在少数民族传统体育的促进与治理中，要注重“仪式空间”的保护，重视族群“局内人”的设定；关注族群“神秘”与世俗情感的“二向性”需求；突出“卡里斯玛”的个体功用，促进“情感能量流”形成。

弱化经营者自主决策权的组织创新与制度创新

内部人控制问题的实质是企业内部经营者权力过大，通过各种手段危害国家和中小股东。毫无疑问，制度是约束人们的行为规范，制度决定了人们取得利益的方式。因而，如何进行制度创新以弱化经营者过大的决策权，就成为解决内部人控制问题的突破口。本文试图从组织创新和制度创新的角度，提出弱化经营者自主决策权的思路。
