中世纪西欧城市文学对女性爱情的表现

中世纪西欧城市文学对女性爱情的表现受到了教会文学和骑士爱情的双重影响.情爱和性爱的完美契合和前后相继构成了女性爱情的两个方面,其中情爱是对骑士爱情的升华和背离;性爱是世俗爱情的再现,反映了当时西欧城市居民注重感官的审美情趣.情爱与性爱的并存反映了城市文学的作者力求突破教会和世俗的限制,追求自由和自主的个人快乐的新主张.     

The Seduction of the Market: Whitehead, Hutchins, and the Harvard Business School

The paper analyses a debate from 1936 between Alfred North Whitehead and Robert M. Hutchins over the role of the business universities today. Their contrasting views on vocational training in the modern university underlines the ways in which the logics of education and the market differ. I argue that Whitehead's support for the business school stemmed from a belief in private corporations fulfilling the same role as the Catholic Church in defending the "great liberty" of mediaeval universities. This belief is contradicted by other statements of his that business corporations destroy the very craft required for academic work. Finally, I suggest ways in which both authors might respond to a current situation at my own university where applied research for business is subsidized with millions of dollars from the base budget. While both would have been opposed to the threat this poses to university autonomy, Hutchins' critique of the logic of the market makes his the strongest position.     

早期基督教美术中的女信徒形象

女信徒形象是早期基督教时期极为常见的女性题材之一。借助于图像载体,一方面考察了女信徒形象的宗教和社会功能,是由于基督教倡导男女平等的思想,诞生初期的基督教得到了罗马社会中许多女性尤其是下层女性的追随;另一方面,比较出基督教后期存在的反女性的思想根源,是因为受到了犹太教的原罪思想和希腊化哲学的影响。

Literacy in church and family sites through the eyes of Samoan children in New Zealand

Samoan school children living in New Zealand were given disposable cameras and asked to photograph examples of the uses of reading and writing outside the school. Interviewed later, they explained their photographs including information about literacy in church and family. Rote learning and oral presentation of biblical texts that were read and committed to memory were characteristic of church literacy and supported by practices in the home as Shirley Brice Heath and others have reported. The purpose is closely connected to maintenance of Samoan culture and survival of the language. However, it was found that older siblings introduced school ways of learning to younger family members and that church literacy involved techniques for understanding and assessment that were similar to those of the school. It is asked whether the disparity in measured literacy performance of Samoan people is the consequence of a mismatch between church and family literacy and the literacy of the school.     

中古英国敞田制的运作及经济社会效应

敞田制是中世纪英国基本的土地利用与管理制度.土地以条田的形式呈现且分散分布是敞田制的自然形态特征;土地的个人占有与公共利用是敞田制的基本内涵;庄园习惯法或村规民约是敞田制运作的基本准则.在生产力水平低下的背景下,敞田制特有的农牧结合可以有效地保持土壤的肥力,有利于维护小农经济,对社会弱势群体也起到了一定的慈善和救济作用.     

主权让渡视野下教育行政权让渡的理论探索——基于我国外资教育机构设立的思考

教育行政权是国家管理教育事务的日常性权利,在学校教育中它包括学校设置权、教师聘任权、招生权、学业评定权、课程设置权和教材编写权,其中学校设置权是核心权利,不可让渡,其余权利是非核心权利,可以适时适度地让渡,但其让渡应经得起民族心理、法律制度、让渡层次、文化保护和利益划分的逐一审视。
